Outrageous by Kliph Nesteroff Pdf

From the preeminent historian of modern comedy comes an expansive history of showbiz and the culture wars There is a common belief that we live in unprecedented times, that people are too sensitive today, that nobody objected to the actions of actors, comedians, and filmmakers in the past. Modern pundits would have us believe that Americans of a previous generation had tougher skin and seldom complained. But does this argument hold up to scrutiny? In Outrageous, celebrated cultural historian Kliph Nesteroff demonstrates that Americans have been objecting to entertainment for nearly two hundred years, sometimes rationally, often irrationally. Likewise, powerful political interests have sought to circumvent the arts using censorship, legal harassment, and outright propaganda. From Mae West through Johnny Carson, Amos ’n’ Andy through Beavis and Butt-Head, Outrageous chronicles the controversies of American show business and the ongoing attempts to change what we watch, read, and hear.

Howard Hughes Was Bob Hope in Make-Up by Joseph Polillo Pdf

I always knew Howard Hughes was Bob Hope in makeup. I knew who Bob Hope was since the ’70s. I began gathering facts and proofs to prove beyond reasonable doubt that I knew what I was talking about! I wrote this book because I was tired of telling my theory to just one or two people at a time. Howard Hughes was Bob Hope in makeup, and he told you so in his TV skits, in his movies, and in his books. The life of Bob Hope was a cover story bought and paid for by the United States government—an alleged life. Howard Rupert Hughes Jr. was “Sonny” billionaire industrialist, oilman, movie producer, screenwriter, director, photographer, and inventor of satellites, lasers, ships, planes, jets, and rockets. Hope himself stated that he had a group of writers, and he was the one with two (2) heads. And most of all, he was a character actor in his own movies from his own studios. I have in my possession a magazine ad with Hope lying in bed, and the header above his picture read: “Two of the most famous names in America sleep together.” My theory is, Howard Hughes disappeared, went underground, and reappeared in makeup as Bob Hope in an “alleged life,” wearing a mask. Howard Hughes was talking behind his Bob Hope face. Here’s a quote from Hope: “I do my best impersonations right in front of the people, and they don’t get it. They don’t listen.” Hope stated “my names” would go down in history. Another quote from Hope stated, “My sixty years with NBC proves Lincoln was wrong. You can fool all the people all the time.” He did!

They're with You Win Or Tie by Harold C. Carl Pdf

Hilarious stories you'd never dream could emerge from the office of a superintendent of school! This book demonstrates that a good sense of humor is probably more important that possessing a PhD in dealing with the diversified spectrum of visitors who cross the superintendent's threshold on a daily basis – all with a problem that only he can solve! You've got to deal with them all – from the governor's office and the state superintendent of schools to the least affluent and unemployed. How you do this, and making them all feel "special" in the process - dictates your measure of success and tenure in office. Also, that little bit of humor you inject into the seemingly most serious of cases, especially to the persons involved, may go a long way in diffusing some volatile situations and putting them into a workable perspective which then become " win-win" for all concerned. This book also contains many valuable "gems" of wisdom in dealing with work related eventualities from some of the world's wisest minds - such as Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Also some of America's top executives provide inspirational themes which illustrate how they became top level CEO's
