Book Synopsis The Great Radio Soap Operas by : Jim Cox
Download or read book The Great Radio Soap Operas written by Jim Cox and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans are dissatisfied with the quality of their working lives withdull -- repetitive jobs that stifle autonomy and initiative. This year-long study prepared for theDepartment of Health, Education, and Welfare by the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Researchbrings together facts about the current nature of work and the workplace that have ominousimplications for the social and economic strength of the nation as a whole. Thedemand for this report has been tremendous; HEW's initial supply was exhausted within a few daysafter publication. The Boston Globe says that " Work inAmerica… may be one of the most important documents in recent years." Theresearch Institute of America reports in its Recommendations that "There islittle doubt the facts in the report are right on target: The blue-collar blues are haunting thewhite-collar employee too; there's evidence that even many managers show signs of the blahs. Atrade-off of money for leisure seems to be the longer-term trend. "Becausethis study is officially sponsored by the government, and since it's the latest attempt to pulltogether all the facets of the program, Work in America will have the long-range clout. You'll behearing about it -- pro and con -- on TV & in the press. Congress will debate it, bureaucratswill scrap over the details." And the New York Timesremarks that "its findings directly challenge President Nixon's repeated assertionsthat some Americans are abandoning the 'work ethic' for the 'welfare ethic.'" In fact, just theoppose is true. The study provides evidence that satisfying work is a basic human need in that itestablishes individual identity and self-respect and lends order to human life. Work in America discusses the fundamental role of work in the lives of mostadults, pointing out that jobs as they are now create problems that can and do have serious effectson our society. It shows that work-related problems often result in declining physical and mentalhealth, greater family and community instability, less "balanced": sociopoliticalattitudes, and in increase in drug abuse, alcohol addiction, aggression, anddelinquency. The report calls for large-scale reforms to alter this situation,beginning with the basic redesign of jobs to allow more individual responsibility and autonomy. Italso suggests retraining or "self-renewal" programs for any worker who wants job mobilityor a second career, and it advocates government commitment to a "total" rather than to afull employment economy, which leaves approximately 4.5 percent of the citizens without jobs. "The report has already raised hackles within the NixonAdministration…. In fact, says one Labor Department official, the whole program of workerdiscontent 'would go away if sociologists and reporters would quit writing about it.' But this, thestudy says, is simply not the case -- and it concludes with the particularly apt quotation fromAlbert Camus: 'Without work all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles anddies.'" -- Newsweek

Download or read book Best in Show written by John Kenneth Muir and published by Applause Theatre & Cinema. This book was released on 2004 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best in Show is the first in-depth look at the method behind film director and actor Christopher Guest's madness - and genius. John Kenneth Muir focuses his attention on the acclaimed Guest-directed trilogy of what some call "mockumentaries": Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. In these films Guest has escorted rapt audiences into the purportedly real worlds of a small-town theatrical company, dog show competition, and folk music festival. Muir also details the events that lead to Rob Reiner's influential and legendary This Is Spinal Tap, which Rolling Stone called the best rock and roll movie of all time, and in which Guest played the part of guitarist Nigel Tufnel. Much of Best in Show exemplifies the unique process by which Guest directs films. He employs a common repertory company, improvises scenes often without any rehearsal, and does not use any screenplay with dialogue, instead following a detailed outline often co-authored with his ace actor/writer Eugene Levy. Company members that have been interviewed for this book include Fred Willard, Harry Shearer, Bob Balaban and Michael Hitchcock. Guest's influences - Saturday Night Live, National Lampoon - as well as his more conventional comedies, such as The Big Picture and Almost Heroes, are studied. Best in Show is general enough to bring new fans to the table, yet detailed enough to satisfy the most in-the-know Guest fan and film student. A complete filmography with Guest's directing, acting and writing credits is included, as is the appendix, "You Know You're in a Christopher Guest Film When ..." Guest once commented, "I am drawn to people who have dreams that are slightly out of reach." Now, thanks to John Kenneth Muir, the fascinating world of Christopher Guest and company is substantially more within reach.
