Now that the year 1984 has passed, many may scoff at the warning, but those who do would be wise to look at the present a bit more closely. Currently, we have subliminal messages, two-way televisions, computer viruses threatening to endanger our much depended-upon information systems (with possible global impact), and countries all over the world committing atrocities against their own people. Recent political campaigns have shown us explicitly the extent to which propaganda has corrupted our own language. Politicians have perfected their own type of "Newspeak."

George Bernard Shaw was born on 26 July 1856, in Dublin, as the son of George Carr Shaw, who was in the wholesale grain trade, and Lucinda Elisabeth Shaw, the daughter of an impoverished landowner.

George Starbuck (1931-1996) Date: Sat, 17 Aug 1996 From: Hank Lazer (HLAZER@AS.UA.EDU) Subject: Re: George Starbuck George Starbuck died Thursday morning at his home in Tuscaloosa at age 65 after a twenty year bout with Parkinson's disease. A fine poet and generous person, George directed the graduate writing programs in creative writing at Iowa (where, ages ago, he hired Kathleen Fraser) and at Boston University. While at SUNY Buffalo in 1963, he initiated a successful challenge of New York's Feinberg loyalty-oath law. After a semester as writer-in-residence, George decided to live in Tuscaloosa. For the past several years, he has been a kind friend, much valued for his learning, his conversation, and his advocacy of a wide range of poetries. Hank Lazer Date: 17 Aug 96 From: Anselm Hollo Subject: George Starbuck Emerging from my lair here, to salute the memory of George Starbuck, first met in Buffalo thirty years ago, during my first summer there in the company of G.S., Ann London, Robert Creeley , John Logan, John Wieners, Robert Hogg, Basil Bunting , George Bowering, Jack Clarke, Al Glover, Duncan McNaughton...a summer that definitely changed my life, as did George's subsequent invitation to come and teach at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, whose director he then was. Cet ouvroir was a very different place during his tenure than what it had been before, and, I believe, what it has been since. Not only did he invite Kathleen Fraser and her then husband Jack Marshall, he also invited Ted Berrigan, Steve Katz, Seymour Krim, David Rayall, at that time, regarded as pretty 'cutting edge' makaris, somewhat threatening, even, to the post-Paul Engle neo-Frostian/pseudo-WCWilliamsian 'Iowa' establishment.

George Reeves - Actor George Keefer Brewer was born in Woolstock, Iowa on January 5, 1914. Probably best known for his fantastic acting career in the hit Superman TV series during the 1950's George was a well accomplished film and play actor as well. He starred in numerous leading and supporting roles in a variety of famous films dating back to 1939 including the blockbuster "Gone with the Wind" where he portrayed one of Scarlet's suitors if you remember the early party scene in that movie where he was dressed in a southern confederate uniform. George Reeves was only 45 years old on June 16,1959 when he was found dead during a cocktail party at his home from a single gun shot to the head. Many people speculate that he was murdered but his death was ruled a suicide predicated on the fact that he was probably in a deep depression state due to his inability to find acting work because he was typecast as superman. The circumstances of his mysterious death and the police investigation that followed left many unanswered questions and speculation.
