"Like Liberty And Union": Stanton And Anthony As Friends, Ann D. Gordon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

While deciding upon an appropriate topic for this address, I realized that like athletes who head to Disneyland, I, after this big game, wanted most of all to take the next train back to the nineteenth century. So, to celebrate the end of my presidential term, I will start that return journey, speaking about the friendship between Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, or more precisely, about the intersection of this friendship with documentary scholarship.

Shifting Proslavery Ideology: Review Of Balancing Evils Judiciously: The Proslavery Writings Of Zephaniah Kingsley, Ed. Daniel W. Stowell., Trenton Hizer

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Balancing Evils Judiciously is a volume in which quality more than makes up for a lack of quantity, In this slender work, Daniel W Stowell, director and editor of the Lincoln Legal Papers, presents the unique proslavery writings of Zephaniah Kingsley, Jr., of Florida: eight letters, articles and documents by Kingsley, and one published letter by L. Maria Childs, the noted New York abolitionist with whom he was acquainted. Kingsley's few works on slavery would easily be lost in the volumes of antebellum proslavery writings, if not for the singular position he took on the peculiar institution. His personal experiences, …

Deep Pockets And Determination: Review Of Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon Fbi Files. By Jon Wiener., Stephen R. Mackinnon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The narrative in Gimme Some Truth runs a slim and trim 104 pages. The story is familiar and well told: the FBI and CIA were put to political use in 1972 by President Richard Nixon (at the suggestion of Senator Strom Thurmond) to safeguard Nixon's reelection. Not startling news. The new twist is the case study involving the greatest pop culture celebrity icon of the 1960s and early 1970s-John Lennon of Beatles fame. For a while, engineering Lennon's deportation before the Republican National Convention seemed to be the Haldeman-Nixon-Hoover goal. The more interesting and original sub-theme is the way Wiener …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Anyone who has written historical notes for a scholarly edition has learned to spot "glossable" references in contemporary texts. Philip Roth's Zuckerman Unbound, for example, will s0meday need annotations about the quiz-show scandals of the 1950s and about Charles Van Doren and Herbert Stempel, contestants whose lives were ruined by the disclosures. Don DeLillo's Underworld will require a description of Truman Capote's Black and White Ball, along with some information about]. Edgar Hoover's cross-dressing and his liaison with Clyde Tolson. Lee Smith's novels will need identifications of Post Toasties and of Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs (whose big hit song …

Anglo-I Atin's Scholarlyeolleagues: Editing The Oxford Medieval Texts: Review Of The Book Of The Foundation Of Walden Monastery. Diana Greenway And Leslie Watkiss, Ed. And Trans., Elaine E. Whitaker

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The Book of the Foundation of Walden Monastery contains at least two stories. The overt story is of marginalized medieval monks trying to secure their assets. This story--told in Latin with a translation on facing pages, normalized spelling, and twentieth-century punctuation-makes a lively read for anyone interested in human behavior. It concerns a twe1fthcentuty nobleman who founds an abbey using some of his least promising land, subsequently gets himself excommunicated and then killed in a pique over injustices done to him, and is succeeded by an array of kin, including a presumed bastard (Geoffrey fitz Peter), who allegedly subtract rather …

Annotation Control And Computers: A Case Study Of The Salmon P. Chase Papers Project, Leigh Johnsen

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Computers have become permanent features on editing projects. Gone is much of their novelty, as well as major debates over their value and appropriateness. Instead, current evidence suggests widespread acceptance of digital technology for a variety of major functions, from transcription and typesetting to document control and indexing. Thanks to the World Wide Web, computers also apparently hold promise of changing the very nature of documentary editing, perhaps in ways that can only be imagined at present.

Despite these developments, however, editors have tended to overlook the potential of computers to control annotation research. Indeed, current evidence suggests that they …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Max & Marjorie, the complete correspondence between America's best-known book editor and one of his best-known authors, will please several groups of readers.

The many readers who have enjoyed The Yearling will have the opportunity to get to know its author. Eminently readable, the edition should reach a large audience beyond academe.

Pragmatic Patriot: Review Of The Papers Of Robert Morris, Volume 9: January 1-October 30, 1784. Elizabeth M. Nuxoll And Mary A. Gallagher, Eds.; Nelson S. Dearmont, Associate Editor; Kathleen H. Mullen, Assistant Editor; Clarence L. Ver Steeg, Editorial Advisor; E. James Ferguson, Editor Emeritus., Dorothy Twohig

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The preceding eight volumes covered Morris's career as the country's "Financier" -in fact the actual prime minister of the early Confederation-through his official diaries, letter books, and ancillary correspondence. Morris went into office with an ambitious agenda, and the earlier volumes amply chronicle his attempts to put his plans into effect. Believing that few citizens are disinterested patriots, Morris thought, as Hamilton did, that the best way to attach them to the new government was through self-interest. For this, public confidence in the government, especially in its fiscal aspects, was essential, and retiring the Revolutionary War debt and establishing a …

Computer Anxiety's Impact On Computer User Documentation, Brenda Y. Moore

Theses

Computer anxiety is the fear or avoidance of the computer and the environment it represents. The anxiety can manifest in all computer users regardless of their experience or complexity of the tasks they must complete. The anxiety can be alleviated on one task, but as technology changes and advances, the user's comfort level is compromised and the anxiety reappears. Understanding computer anxiety as it relates to computer user documentation is a compelling research question. Although there have been many efforts to understand computer anxiety, there has been no clear way for technical communicators to resolve this problem in their approach …

Comparing The Effectiveness Of Instructor-Led Training To Stand-Alone Web-Based Training : A Case Study, Robert P. Myre

Theses

Web-based Training (WBT) is still a relatively new technology, and the full extent of WBT functionality has yet to be realized. Most of corporate America recognizes the necessity of a well-trained workforce; however, instructor-led training is often difficult to implement due to a variety of logistical issues. These issue, include cost constraints, location issues, and limited resources.

WBT has been touted in recent years as a viable alternative to traditional, instructor-led training. However, the effectiveness of WBT versus instructor-led training has been questioned by its many critics. This case study tested the effectiveness of a stand-alone web-based training program and …

The Public Rhetoric Of Privatization : The Value System Of The Water And Wastewater Industry, Claire St. Louis

Theses

Politicians involved in the water and wastewater industry invoke core American values in their rhetoric to persuade their audience to support or decry privatization. By weaving these values into their rhetoric, politicians provide moral and social justification for their audiences to support them, whether in election or privatization.

This thesis places these rhetoricians in their historical context It analyzes the legacy of environmentalism, from the 17th and l8th century religious preachers to the 19th and 20th century Greenspeak writers to the 21st century leaders of America's largest cities. It provides a detailed discussion of the American value system as defined …
