Ultimately, Summers paints a portrait of a fatally flawed individual who should never have held such power, and for so long.

Children, Childhood, and Musical Theater
Author: Donelle Ruwe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317167732
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Bringing together scholars from musicology, literature, childhood studies, and theater, this volume examines the ways in which children's musicals tap into adult nostalgia for childhood while appealing to the needs and consumer potential of the child. The contributors take up a wide range of musicals, including works inspired by the books of children's authors such as Roald Dahl, P.L. Travers, and Francis Hodgson Burnett; created by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lionel Bart, and other leading lights of musical theater; or conceived for a cast made up entirely of children. The collection examines musicals that propagate or complicate normative attitudes regarding what childhood is or should be. It also considers the child performer in movie musicals as well as in professional and amateur stage musicals. This far-ranging collection highlights the special place that musical theater occupies in the imaginations and lives of children as well as adults. The collection comes at a time of increased importance of musical theater in the lives of children and young adults.

In a house teeming with life, young Maura, voted the Most Quiet Girl in Catholic school, notices everything but says little. Eager to penetrate the secret world of her father, FBI agent Joe Conlon, she is drawn to the bureau drawer where he places his badge at night. The time is the late 1960s, and Vietnam and the Cold War are fomenting unrest outside Maura's suburban Los Angeles home. Inside, the Conlons and their five children are still bound by tradition: baseball games, Sunday dinners of roast beef and mashed potatoes, and The FBI on TV. Under the watchful gaze of J. Edgar Hoover's picture, Maura's mother, a former New York bathing beauty, remains a housemaker even as she slips out for assertiveness training. And there's the one unshakable rule of all: Joe Conlon never talks about his job. In fact, he rarely speaks at all. Believing that he communicates in code, Maura is determined to crack it. She uses clues gleaned from Nancy Drew mysteries, eavesdrops on adult conversations, and spins larger-than-life fantasies in her head, with her younger brother, Joey, who has Down syndrome, at her side. But her flights of fancy turn sober with a murder in the family. Suddenly her father's silence speaks volumes, and she learns a lesson from him abut fierce love during a time of devastating loss. Bathed in luminous nostalgia, resonating with hilarious and painful memories, FBI GIRL is the coming-of-age story of a highly imaginative girl and a passionate homage to family bonds, the trials that test them, and the triumphs that make them stronger.

The Director an Oral Biography of J. Edgar Hoover
Author: Ovid Demaris
Publisher: Ishi Press
ISBN: 9784871873369
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
J. Edgar Hoover was the Director of the FBI for 48 years from May 10, 1924 until his death on May 2, 1972. During most of that time, the view the general public had of Hoover was much as if he had been seated on the Right Hand of God. Late in his career one of his agents had the temerity to inform him that he was, after all, not Jesus Christ. By then, clamors for his removal had reached a crescendo. Three successive presidents, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon had wanted to put him into retirement, but were afraid to do so because they knew that he held secret files on them and could ruin them politically if he released those files.
