MOVIES . . . A miracle our grandparents might never have dreamed possible. Despite a decline since the advent of television, movies are still an essential media and have become a standard part of our lives, influencing everything from fashion trends— 'Great Gatsby’’— to fundamental ideas and morals— “Walking Tall . During its 65-year existance, the cinema has carried the audience from wholesome “crime never pays features to the acceptance of Triple X and grisly displays of violence. Thanks to movies, men of the twentieth century have been able to pattern their mastery of romance after such lovers as Rudolph Valentino, Clark Gable and Richard Burton, while women have found comparable instructors in Mae West, Ingrid Bergman and Marilyn Monroe. We have been intrigued by the swashbuckling adventures of Douglas Fairbanks, John Wayne and Paul Newman, agonized over the failures of Dustin Hoffman, —— a ao Ex “Sete SAM wk KS ei E)‏ ؟۔“۔ res Ah d Cicily Tyson, Bp | and Timothy 8 Bottoms, and laughed at the antics of the Marx Brothers, Mel Brooks and Woody Allen. Films have given us moments that will always be remembered— 'Gone with the Wind “Sound of Music and MASH ''—as well as horrors we strive to forget—''The Exorcist”, Psycho and Cries and Whispers . We may love, hate or feel indifferent to various aspects and products of the silver screen but as a medium that produces both entertainment and education, as an industry, and as a way of life, it can never be abandoned. Spirit salutes the Silver Screen, not by using analogies and comparisons, but simply by adopting it as a design element around which our book is built. ید حدم P Je‏ 0 6+0 ایس — 7 A 1 4 ` M i | oe O) Ars The Silver Screen 7

E TER SNR BUS NIE CN e 1 m ؟ IT WAS an 'american grafittr ۱ summer. Night after night we cruised Lincoln Way searching for entertainment. Soaring gas prices didn't discourage us as we filled and emptied our tanks in one evening. But no matter how promising the rumors of action were we always seemed to be home in time for Midnight Special”. | During the day we watched Hank Aaron hit his 715th, hot-air balloons drift over Indianola, and hundreds : biking in SAGBRAI. While we swam | at Hickory Grove, the House Judiciary Committee was wading through tapes, transcripts, and : articles of impeachment. Richard Nixon resigned and was succeeded by Gerald Ford, the first unelected president. When cruising, politics, and work became old, we jumped at the chance to take off with friends or family. Dreams of mountains and beaches were discarded as we settled for a week at the “lowa Great Lakes . After the self-scheduling envelopes came in August, we spent the last few weeks trying to cram in all of the things we had planned but had never found the time for. | September arrived—too soon for ۱ some, not soon enough for others— and another year began. 80 ۲۳
