Applause. These are just a few of the musicals that opened on Broadway in the 1970s, the decade that saw the end of the golden age of the Broadway musical, the decade when reality came knockin. In the seventies, the Broadway musical dared to sing different tunes about different lives: two jazz age killers who get away with murder; American show biz confronting the ghost of its past; chorus dancers talking about their lives, bemused nineteenth-century Swedes changing lovers as they watlz through a moonlit forest; a bachelor named Bobby living in a Manhattan apartment building surrounded by married couples. The latest entry in Ethan Mordden's six-volume history of the Broadway musical musical looks at the decade that brought us the genius of directors like Michael Bennett, Harold Prince, and Bob Fosse. It was the decade that gave us the bittersweet masterworks of Stephen Sondheim. It was the decade that saw veteran performers such as Gwen Verdon, Chita Rivera, Jerry Orbach, Elaine Stritch, Yvonne De Carlo, Ruby Keeler, Jack Gilford, Robert Preston, and John Cullum share The Street with newcomers such as Donna McKechnie, Ann Reinking, Kevin Kline, Kelly Bishop, and Andrea McArdle. With Ethan Mordden as our guide to another thrilling era on Broadway, it's once again "Curtain going up!" Performing Arts, Musicals, American Culture, 1970s. bslic.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. NO JUSTICE tells the story of a young black man, Robbie Tolan, who was gunned down on his parents' front lawn simply because a white officer failed to follow procedure. And it almost cost him his life.ROBBIE TOLAN, son of 14-year Major League Veteran Bobby Tolan, was a baseball standout at Bellaire High School in Houston, TX. Signing with the Washington Nationals, with dreams of following in his father's footsteps, Robbie's life was destroyed because white Bellaire police officers falsely suspected him of driving a stolen car. Innocent, and instead of being given a chance to defend himself, Robbie was shot inches from his heart in front of his pleading mother and father. Despite the unlikely chances of survival, and grim expectations by doctors, Robbie beat all the odds. He survived the shooting, but his dreams of a major league career did not. The bullet remains in his back as a reminder of the racial profiling that nearly cost him his life. That night transformed a tragedy into a call of justice; not only for Robbie but for the other black men and women being targeted by white police officers who have not had the same outcome. They have been killed over simple excuses, whether jaywalking by Michael Brown, or making an illegal lane change with Sandra Bland. Robbie Tolan's story emphasizes that that it doesn't end with the police encounter. Robbie's hope with this book is to help keep the dialogue alive to find a way to stop police from reaching for their guns when they're not 100 percent certain of the criminal, the crime, or the threat. NO JUSTICE is a poignant, gripping book that sits squarely in the crosshairs of race, police violence, racial profiling, and the ongoing discussion about why African Americans are disproportionately affected by violent police interactions. Finally, a black victim of police violence has lived to speak for those who were killed. And Robbie has something important to say. His case was a precedent setting. It was the first Supreme Court ruling on a race since Brown vs. Board of Education, and thousands of cases have now been heard because of this ruling. The bullet that did not kill him will create justice for others. NO JUSTICE is the behind-the-scenes story the Bellaire, Texas police don't want you to hear, with never-before-revealed details about the night unarmed Robbie Tolan was shot by authorities.

Postkarte. Kleine Blanko-Indexcard von Mike Harmon mit schwarzem Edding signiert mit eigenhändigem Zusatz "#44" /// Michael Joseph Harmon (born January 24, 1958) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro for CHK Racing. In the past, he drove in the NASCAR Slim Jim All Pro Series, finishing 8th in points in 1997. NASCAR career Harmon made his NASCAR debut in 1996 driving the No. 24 Chevrolet at South Boston Speedway, where he finished 31st after a transmission failure. He ran seven more races in the car that season, with a best finish of 23rd, but a sponsorship struggle caused his team to close down. He was scheduled to return to NASCAR in 1999, when he signed with Donlavey Racing to compete for NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year honors. Harmon was reportedly fired from the team during preparation for that year's Daytona 500 when he refused to let another driver try to get more speed out of the car. In 2001, Harmon returned to the Busch Series, driving fourteen races for Mixon Motorsports in the No. 44 Pontiac Grand Prix. His best finish was a 28th at Indianapolis Raceway Park, the only race he finished that year. He made an additional start for Moy Racing at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing 35th, and competed in two Craftsman Truck races for MB Motorsports and Troxell Racing, respectively. He made 25 starts for Mixon in 2002, with a best finish of 22nd at Daytona. The following season, he competed in a career-high total of 32 races and finished seventeen of them. With a new team partner in Global Industrial Contractors, Harmon had his first career top-twenty finish at IRP and finished 23rd in points. GIC-Mixon switched to the No. 24 in 2004 and after the Aaron's 312, he was released from the team and replaced by Shane Hmiel. He made two more starts that season, his best finish being 33rd at Memphis Motorsports Park for Oostlander Racing. In 2005, Harmon and Oostlander purchased part of the assets of Innovative Motorsports and ran the first four races of the season in the No. 21 Chevrolet Silverado, before focusing mainly on ARCA racing. Harmon attempted a Busch Series race later in the year at Memphis for Bobby Norfleet, but did not qualify. Harmon returned to NASCAR in 2007, driving the No. 44/No. 48 car for Richardson-Netzloff Racing in the Busch Series. He made seven races with a best finish of 38th before handing the ride off to Jennifer Jo Cobb late in the season. He attempted a larger part-time season in the No. 84 Chevrolet fielded by the new Elite 2 Racing team in 2008, for eighteen races.[1] Harmon posted his best finish in the Nationwide Series to date, finishing 17th at the Aaron's 312. In 2009, Harmon started racing in his own No. 84 car and then took over the No. 07 Chevrolet for SK Motorsports. He would also start and park in his own No. 24 in four Camping World Truck Series races. For 2010, Harmon has run part-time in the Truck Series for both Lafferty Motorsports and Daisy Ramirez Motorsports. Harmon at Rockingham Speedway in 2013 Harmon drove his own No. 74 Chevrolet in the 2011 season, running approximately half the season's races; he also competed in several Truck Series races later in the year. He returned to the Nationwide Series in the No. 74 in 2012 and 2013.[2] In the 2020 Xfinity season opener at Daytona, Harmon scored a career high finish of 16th. Bristol crash Harmon is also famous for an incident at Bristol Motor Speedway in August 2002. Harmon was practicing his No. 44 car, when he crashed into the track's infield entry gate in Turn 2. The gate was improperly secured when Harmon's car crashed into it causing it to swing open. His car then impacted the end of the concrete wall head-on. The impact was so violent, the car was nearly split in half. The remnants of the vehicle were then struck by the car of Johnny Sauter, fortunately hitting the half that Harmon was not sitting in. Harmon walked away from the crash unharmed.[3] Mike Harmon Racing Harmon in 2008 For the last several years, Harmon has primarily competed in NASCAR driving his self owned 74 car in the Xfinity Series, as well as part-time in the 74 truck for his own team, with additional drivers filling out the schedule. Harmon is one of only two teams that still fields a Dodge Challenger in NASCAR and one of the few remaining owner/drivers. Harmon's team usually relies on week to week sponsorships to help keep his team open. In 2017, the team partnered with Veterans Motorsports Inc., a company that provides jobs for veterans; in accordance with the deal, MHR allowed veterans to work for the team.[4] The team also fields vehicles in the Truck Series, with the ride being filled primarily by Jordan Anderson. Anderson left the team after the 2015 season. Harmon attempted several races in early 2016, but failed to qualify. Tim Viens failed to qualify at Atlanta and he made the race at New Hampshire. Viens also withdrew at Las Vegas. Paige Decker ran at Martinsville. Jordan Anderson returned to the team at the penultimate race at Phoenix. Harmon formed partnerships with teams last year to get his truck on track. Faith Motorsports partnered with Harmon at Iowa but failed to qualify with Donnie Levister. They also attempted to run Bristol with Levister, but the team withdrew. Harmon partnered with Brandonbilt Motorsports at Texas (spring) with Viens driving. Harmon also partnered with Bolen Motorsports at Las Vegas, also with Viens driving. The team returned in 2017 at Daytona with Anderson, who failed to qualify. In 2019, MHR partnered with Rick Ware Racing to field the No. 17. The following year, the team expanded to include a No. 47 car in addition to the primary No. 74.[5] In 2020, Harmon only ran the plate races in the No. 74 to make way for other drivers to drive his car. Joe Nemechek, Bayley Currey and Kyle Weatherman all drove races in the 2 cars. In the end, Currey went full-time in the 74 and Weath.

Auszug: Der Irische Hungerstreik von 1981 bildete den Endpunkt eines fünf Jahre lang anhaltenden Protests während des Nordirlandkonflikts durch republikanische Gefangene. Der Hungerstreik von 1981 entwickelte sich, als republikanische Gefangene den Blanket Protest 1976 begannen, der in den Dirty Protest überging. Als dieser erfolglos blieb, ergriffen Gefangene den Hungerstreik von 1980. Er endete mit einem Erfolg, da den Protestierenden zugesichert wurde, dass ihre fünf Streikforderungen erfüllt würden. Als sich herausstellte, dass die zentrale Forderung, das Tragen von Zivilkleidung, nicht erfüllt wurde, und damit verbunden ihr Sonderstatus - der so genannte Special Category Status - als politische Gefangene nicht anerkannt wurde, traten republikanische Gefangene in den Hungerstreik von 1981. In diesem Hungerstreik kamen zehn Gefangene zu Tode, darunter Bobby Sands. Dieser Streik veränderte die politische Landschaft in Irland: Die Sinn Féin wurde zur meinungsführenden Partei Irlands und die britische Nordirlandpolitik wurde international geächtet. Hungerstreiks durch gefangene Republikaner in Irland gab es seit 1917. Bis zum ersten Hungerstreik von 1980 starben zwölf Gefangene, darunter Thomas Ashe (1885-1917), Terence MacSwiney (1879-1920), Seán McCaughey (1915-1946), Michael Gaughan (1949-1974) und Frank Stagg (1942-1976).

Dort lebten die Internierten wie Kriegsgefangene unter ihren eigenen militärischen Kommandostrukturen, die Gefangenen übten mit hölzernen Gewehren und hörten Vorträge zur Guerillataktik. 40 Internierte der Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) traten im Juli 1972 in einen Hungerstreik, den der Veteran der Republikaner Billy McKee anführte und den Sonderstatus der K 36 pp. Deutsch.

In the spring of 2019, Nick is on the run in the Pacific Northwest, pursued by a cabal of wealthy right-wing power brokers and domestic terrorists (the Principals) led by Marguerite Ferguson and Desmond Cole. Nick has clashed with Marguerite and her crew in the past, and she wants him abducted so that she can personally 'close his eyes forever.' Things get worse. Nick's close friend and business partner Bobby Moore is kidnapped by Marguerite and the Principals. Nick is then informed that he has twenty-seven days to surrender to Marguerite. If he does not turn himself in, Bobby will be sent to Scorpion prison in Egypt to be tortured and murdered. If Nick surrenders, however, Bobby will be released.
