Head of Worldwide Catholic Order Accused of History of Abuse
The Hartford Courant/February 23, 1997
By Gerald Renner and Jason Berry
After decades of silence, nine men have come forward to accuse the head of an international Roman Catholic order of sexually abusing them when they were boys and young men training to be priests. The men, in interviews in the United States and Mexico, said the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, molested them in Spain and Italy during the 1940s, '50s and '60s. Several said Maciel told them he had permission from Pope Pius XII to seek them out sexually for relief of physical pain. Those making the allegations include a priest, guidance counselor, professor, engineer and lawyer. Some of the men, now in their 50s and 60s, wept during the interviews. All said the events still haunt them. They said they are coming forward now because Pope John Paul II did not respond to letters from two priests sent through church channels in 1978 and 1989 seeking an investigation, and then praised Maciel in 1994 as an ``efficacious guide to youth.'' ``The pope has reprimanded Germans for lack of courage during the Nazi era. We are in a similar situation. For years we were silent. Then we tried to reach authorities in the church. This is a statement of conscience,'' said Jose de J. Barba Martin, one of the men alleging the abuse.

Historian explores race relations in Boston
by Helene Ragovin Gerald Gill has been teaching at Tufts since 1980. Every so often, he finds himself answering the same question from friends in other parts of the country: "How can you still continue to teach at a Boston-area college?" "They contend Boston is the most racist city in the United States. I contend Boston is not the most racist city in the United States," says Gill, a scholar of African American history. While the city is certainly not without its racial problemsÑeither now or in the pastÑthe complex relationship between Boston and its black citizens is not adequately characterized by that one statement, he says. That lingering perception, however, prompted Gill to begin research on Struggling Yet in Freedom's Birthplace , a book he is writing about race relations in Boston from the mid-1930s to the mid-1970s. "The book looks at how one of the most progressive cities in the United States in terms of race relations toward the end of the 1800s and first several decades of the 20th century became Ôthe most racist city in the United States' by the '70s and the decades after," said Gill, associate professor of history.

present century spirituals are probably the most extensive; they are
certainly, in on form or another, the best known. As 'negro spirituals' they have entered church and concert hall, have influenced composers from Dvorak to Virgil Thompson and have been sung in schools and by choirs throughout the English-speaking world. Yet, in spite of their widespread popularity through publication and performance, their origins are obscure and the ways in which they were first sung ar probably unknown.

Sigmund Diamond, Sociologist, Historian and Liberal Activist, Dies at 79
By A. Dunlap-Smith Sigmund Diamond, a professor of sociology and history at Columbia for many years and a defender of radical ideals in the 1940s, '50s and '60s, died at Backus Hospital in Norwich, Conn. on Oct. 14. He was 79 years old. Diamond died of esophageal cancer, his wife, Shirley Diamond, said. Diamond demonstrated a deep conviction and courage in his support of what were considered revolutionary causes during mid-century: racial equality, fair labor practices, women's rights and the anti-war movement. Both his courage and his conviction were tested often in his life and always proved unfailing. During Senator Joseph McCarthy's communist witch hunt in the 1950s, for example, Diamond was asked by the FBI to name names. Although it cost him a job offer from Harvard, he refused. The episode later inspired his 1992 book on the period Compromised Campus: The Collaboration of Universities with the Intelligence Community 1945-1955 "Sig Diamond was a courageous man who fought against the infiltration of political ideology into university decisionmaking," Columbia Provost Jonathan Cole said. "He was victim in his own day of McCarthyism at one of America's great universities.

When people think comics, they often think of particular characters and superheroes - Superman, Batman and Spider-Man for example. However, behind many of the biggest characters are the behemoths of the comic book industry, DC Comics and Marvel Enterprises . The competition between them is legendary, which is odd because the rivalry is more a friendly acceptance of each other. The two companies have often collaborated on projects, sharing their best talent and often crossing ideas over: examples of this can be found with DC/Marvel Team Ups Amalgam Comics , and the revelation that DC's Superman supporting character 'Mr. Mxyzptlk' and Marvel's 'Impossible Man' are one and the same. The bantering of Marvel competing with 'Brand X' while DC referred to its 'other leading brands' - much like soap powder producers - shows the casual atmosphere between the rivals. However, the two companies do have their differences.

The Bronx African-American History Project Introduction The interview that follows is the first published product of The Bronx African-American History Project, a collaborative venture linking The Bronx County Historical Society with the Department of African and African-American Studies at Fordham University. Our organizations have launched this project because the five hundred thousand people of African descent in The Bronx, the eighth largest concentration of urban African Americans in the United States, have been an invisible population, ignored by scholars and journalists and largely undocumented, even in literature and film. Most people, when they think of blacks in The Bronx, imagine an impoverished population trapped in the southern portion of the borough, yet the largest concentration of black residents of the borough are today in the North Bronx neighborhoods of Wakefield, Williamsbridge and Co-op City. Like the black population of Brooklyn, which has been written about far more thoroughly, the African-American population in The Bronx is highly diverse in class and culture, containing a sizable group of immigrants from the Caribbean and West Africa as well as descendants of migrants from the American South.

In its early days the Institute was already a gathering place for social activists, scientists, philosophers, psychologists and artists, leaders from all fields working to advance human potential in exciting new ways. The vision on which Esalen was founded came into focus with the help of innovative authors and intellectuals. Dozens of musicians came to Esalen and performed at folk music festivals and community celebrations.

On July 27, 2004, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings will release 'Classic Folk Music from Smithsonian Folkways,' the latest in the best-selling "Classic" series that has introduced thousands of listeners to the label's vast collection of historic recordings in a variety of vernacular styles. The album's twenty-five tracks draw from the Folkways, Monitor and Paredon catalogs, including remarkable recordings from legends such as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Lead Belly, Phil Ochs and Doc Watson. With songs from the 1940s through the 1960s, 'Classic Folk Music' sheds new light on the urban intellectual-driven movement that made American rural artists and their music favorites of audiences everywhere.

Each recording is accompanied by extensive historical annotation by archivist Jeff Place. Moses Asch documented the urban folk revival extensively with his Folkways label, beginning with his 1940 recording of blues and folk master Lead Belly. Asch promised the artists he recorded that their records would never go out of print, and Smithsonian Folkways honors the pledge by maintaining a vast catalog of music. 'Classic Folk Music from Smithsonian Folkways' provides an introduction to this massive collection and a compelling snapshot of a storied era in American music.

Email this Article Travel-trailer fans’ passions fueled by memories of kitschy classics By Jack Broom The Seattle Times Sitting by a campfire in Northern California last fall, Patty Dobbs of Snohomish, Wash., made a rather frank admission to two men she had just met. "My husband is a really sick man," she told them. "He has eight travel trailers." For a moment, the two men just looked at one another, then one of them spoke sheepishly. "Well," he said. "I have 30." Softly, the other man joined in: "I have 22." Dobbs, 48, responded with the first thought that popped into her head, "Man, a shrink could sure make a killing around here." Some call it "silver fever." Some call it nostalgia. Some say it mixes a simple desire for inexpensive lodging on the road with the satisfaction of maintaining a piece of American history.

http://www.slipcue.com/music/international/africa/aa_styles/jazznjive_01.html
I'll admit, I was never a huge fan of modern South African pop, particularly the slick, upbeat mbaqanga pop, or the choral music that was all the rage in the "world music" scene in the mid-'80s... I always thought, yeah, it's powerful and dynamic... but kinda boring. Imagine my delight, then, when I came across the "jazz" and "jive" music of the 1940s, '50s and '60s, with its delirious collision of ska-like African rhythms and American-style swing and rock melodies. It's some of the greatest music I've ever heard. Completely irresistible, although a little hard to track down. Here are recommendations from what I've heard so far.
Recommended Records
Big Voice Jack "Zimanukwenzeka (Things Just Happen)" (Sheer Sound, 2003)

The South African kwela, or pennywhistle one of my favorite instruments taken into the modern era, but still with a lot of the old-fashioned sound of the 1950s when it was still quite popular. The band, Big Voice Jack, backs the elderly Louis Mhlanga, one of the last great kwela players, and while some of the modern sounds that are draped around him inch towards the mbaqanga pop style, mostly this retains the buoyant feel of the olden days. Nice record... worth checking out!

BOOKS IN REVIEW A Bestseller To Avoid:
Patterson's Vet-Bashing Four Blind Mice BY MARC LEEPSON

James Patterson writes potboiling bestsellers. Big bestsellers. Big bestsellers overflowing with rape, murder, and other forms of violent mayhem. Some, such as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls , become movies. Readers, who vote at their bookstores, seem to love his stuff. Reviewers react, at best, with yawns. I was aware of Patterson's reputation, although I had never read any of his books, when I picked up his latest detective/thriller Four Blind Mice (Little, Brown, 387 pp., $27.95). The book rocketed up the bestseller lists when it came out in November; hundreds of thousands of copies were gobbled up by Patterson's many fans. The few reviews I read were lukewarm. Here's my verdict. You could characterize it as ice cold. I found
