EPISODE 95 -  “VIRGINIA GREY: Classic Cinema Star of the Month” - 7/07/25 If VIRGINIA GREY is remembered at all, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty is probably best remembered as the caustic perfume counter girl in The Women (1939), who sees right through the gold-digging ways of Crystal Allen, played by JOAN CRAWFORD. In these brief scenes, she is so charismatic and saucy, she really shows how to deliver a zinger of a line. She may also be remembered as the good luck charm of producer ROSS HUNTER, who put her in many of his popular movies of the mid-1950s and 1960s. But there was so much more to this talented actress.

À l'occasion de la sortie de « F1, le film », avec Brad Pitt en vedette, Mondial Sports se fait une toile !

The 1890 closing of the Frontier by the US Census Bureau is a major milestone in the history of the United States. The outcome of that change affected the mindset of the Americans. . . and from that comes some of our most loved fiction. But on the flip side, also the darkest stain on the United States. In this episode we cross paths with Thomas Jefferson, Johnny Weissmuller, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.G. Wells, Frank Munsey, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., the Great Chicago Fire, and Davy Crockett

rWotD Episode 2811: Alberto Zorrilla Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 13 January 2025 is Alberto Zorrilla.Victoriano Alberto Zorrilla (April 6, 1906 – April 23, 1986) was an Argentine swimmer who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics and in the 1928 Summer Olympics where he became the first South American to win an Olympic swimming gold medal.Zorrilla, aged just 18 years old, competed in Paris, France in the 1924 Summer Olympics, he entered in three events, in the 100 metres freestyle he finished 2nd behind Clayton Bourne from Canada in his opening heat so qualified for the semi-finals, in the semi-final he finished sixth nearly seven seconds behind winner Johnny Weissmuller who broke the Olympic record, in his other two events he didn't get past the heats, in the 400 metres freestyle he finished 4th, and in the 4 x 200 metre freestyle relay he again finished 4th in the heat.Four years later he was competing in the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, he entered four events this time, in the 400 metres freestyle he won both his heat and semi-final, and then in the final he swam a time of 5:01.6 winning the gold medal and breaking the Olympic record which Johnny Weissmuller had set at the previous Olympics, thus also becoming South America's first Olympic swimming gold medalist.

Thank you for all your messages about my previous post, “Love Language.” Tarzan stories have me howling with laughter. It is so fun to know that, yes, Tarzan is alive and well—whomever he may be! A group of lady friends have named their group chat “Jane,” and they told me that it was to remind themselves that they are all true Janes. A friend keeps sending me the Tarzan shout a a aaaaa with every text. Another friend has decided that I need to see every single photo of Johnny Weissmuller in his full splendor. Everyone has a different idea of what Tarzan represents. I will tell you about mine when I find him! I promise you'll be the first to know! What I can tell you is that cooking for love is real. There are dishes that warm our hearts and souls and send a subliminal message that the meal is made with love and affection. Some meals are seductive, others heartwarming, and others are just pure pleasure. And yes, men's tastes are different than women's (I mean, in the culinary world, of course! What were you thinking?)To me it all goes back to comfort and care and attention and affection. It is the thought and preparation, it is the presentation, it is the thoughtfulness. A long time ago, I wrote an article about cooking for two that I submitted as the galley for a cookbook. It never got published. I tested the recipes in a house full of people, children, and pets… I couldn't imagine what it would be like to cook for just two, and I think it showed. In the last few years, I have often pulled recipes and ideas from that project, and the recipes that keep coming back are creamy pasta dishes… true love language, classic cuts of beef… the way to a man's heart, and eggs and potatoes in any combination possible… the ones that make me the happiest. Cooking is a pleasure, essential for our well-being, and the BEST thing we can do for our bodies. Cooking is a source of great pride and satisfaction. It is one of those everyday musts that is so much more than just going through the actions. It uses all of our senses: we touch the food and feel its varied textures, we smell the aromas that emanate from magical mixtures, we hear the cracking and sizzling from the pan, we see the alchemy and chemistry that change the ingredients in front of us, and we taste the results that are then ingrained in our memories forever. Tastes and needs develop and change as we move through life, but favorite dishes are constant. They can transport us to a specific moment in time and remind us of good times. Believe it or not, I am a woman of simple tastes. Eggs and potatoes are at the top of my list. A plate of golden brown fries and a couple of fried eggs on top, and I am in ambrosian heaven. And, if you top it all with a large spoonful of caviar…. well… Now you know the key to my heart. And with this, I leave you.Sincerely,The Serial HostessOn that note:If you live in the Charleston area (or even if not), please consider donating to a wonderful and very needed organization that supports the children of fallen Special Operations families. Special Operations Warrior FoundationElaine and Brad Taylor have organized an event on October 26th in Charleston, gathering 5 New York Times bestsellers authors. It promises to be a really fun evening—more information. And tickets. Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.

« Johnny Johnny » n'est pas seulement le roman d'une vie exceptionnelle, celle de Johnny Weissmuller, c'est aussi celui du rêve américain où tout devient possible. Enchaînant les médailles et les records, le nageur le plus rapide du monde prendra la lumière sur les plateaux de cinéma où il incarnera Tarzan. Hollywood fera de lui un dieu puis finira par l'oublier. Champion olympique de natation à Paris en 1924, acteur célèbre, séducteur invétéré, Johnny Weissmuller fera résonner pour toujours l'écho de son incroyable force vitale. Par Ellen Ichters

Before Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, and Penelope Cruz, there was Lupe Velez―one of the first Latin-American stars to sweep past the xenophobia of old Hollywood and pave the way for future icons from around the world. Her career began in the silent era, when her beauty was enough to make it onto the silver screen, but with the rise of talkies, Velez could no longer hope to hide her Mexican accent. Yet Velez proved to be a talented dramatic and comedic actress (and singer) and was much more versatile than Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, and other legends of the time. Velez starred in such films as Hot Pepper (1933), Strictly Dynamite (1934), and Hollywood Party (1934), and her popularity peaked in the 1940s after she appeared as Carmelita Fuentes in eight Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Velez's reputed fiery personality. The media emphasized the "Mexican Spitfire" persona, and by many accounts, Velez's private life was as colorful as the characters she portrayed on-screen. Fan magazines mythologized her mysterious childhood in Mexico, while mainstream publications obsessed over the drama of her romances with Gary Cooper, Erich Maria Remarque, and John Gilbert, along with her stormy marriage to Johnny Weissmuller. In 1944, a pregnant and unmarried Velez died of an intentional drug overdose. Her tumultuous life and the circumstances surrounding her early death have been the subject of speculation and controversy. In Strictly Dynamite: The Sensational Life of Lupe Velez (UP of Kentucky, 2023), author Eve Golden uses extensive research to separate fact from fiction and offer a thorough and riveting examination of the real woman beneath the gossip columns' caricature. Through astute analysis of the actress's filmography and interviews, Golden illuminates the path Velez blazed through Hollywood. Her success was unexpected and extraordinary at a time when a distinctive accent was an obstacle, and yet very few books have focused entirely on Velez's life and career. Written with evenhandedness, humor, and empathy, this biography finally gives the remarkable Mexican actress the unique and nuanced portrait she deserves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Velez starred in such films as Hot Pepper (1933), Strictly Dynamite (1934), and Hollywood Party (1934), and her popularity peaked in the 1940s after she appeared as Carmelita Fuentes in eight Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Velez's reputed fiery personality. The media emphasized the "Mexican Spitfire" persona, and by many accounts, Velez's private life was as colorful as the characters she portrayed on-screen. Fan magazines mythologized her mysterious childhood in Mexico, while mainstream publications obsessed over the drama of her romances with Gary Cooper, Erich Maria Remarque, and John Gilbert, along with her stormy marriage to Johnny Weissmuller. In 1944, a pregnant and unmarried Velez died of an intentional drug overdose. Her tumultuous life and the circumstances surrounding her early death have been the subject of speculation and controversy. In Strictly Dynamite: The Sensational Life of Lupe Velez (UP of Kentucky, 2023), author Eve Golden uses extensive research to separate fact from fiction and offer a thorough and riveting examination of the real woman beneath the gossip columns' caricature. Through astute analysis of the actress's filmography and interviews, Golden illuminates the path Velez blazed through Hollywood. Her success was unexpected and extraordinary at a time when a distinctive accent was an obstacle, and yet very few books have focused entirely on Velez's life and career. Written with evenhandedness, humor, and empathy, this biography finally gives the remarkable Mexican actress the unique and nuanced portrait she deserves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Johnny Weissmuller made his debut as ‘Tarzan The Ape Man' on April 2nd, 1932, when MGM released the first talkie to feature the jungle hero - spawning a Tarzanmania craze. The blockbuster, loosely based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1912 novel, was commissioned in part because the studio held additional footage from their African-set hit from the previous year, ‘Trader Horn'.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how Weissmuller's Olympic swimming career had hinged on a forgery; explain how the filmmakers created Tarzan's famous yell; and investigate why MGM stepped in to fund their big star's divorce… Further Reading: • ‘Johnny Weissmuller Dies at 79; Movie Tarzan and Olympic Gold Medalist' (New York Times, 1984): https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0602.html • ‘The 50 MGM Films that Transformed Hollywood - Triumphs, Blockbusters, and Fiascos, By Steven Bingen' (Lyons Press, 2022): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_50_MGM_Films_that_Transformed_Hollyw/bYh0EAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=tarzan+ivor+novello&pg=PA50&printsec=frontcover • ‘Trailer: Tarzan the Ape Man' (MGM, 1932): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIoPPD0NKhA This episode first premiered in 2023, for members of

In a rare 2-hour interview, delve into the enigmatic life and mind of the late Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, through the reminiscences of his brother Pat and nephew Patrick and never before seen photos and footage. Uncover the roots of Ditko's analytical and creative genius, beginning from his early years growing up in a hardworking immigrant family, to his intuitive yet analytical approach to art which later defined the iconic characters we love. Discover the blend of scientific curiosity, love for Batman and artistic passion in Ditko's youth, including his makeshift science lab and his early fascination with solving problems, which hinted at the iconic superhero worlds he would later create. Amidst the exploration of Ditko's youthful adventures, a nostalgic recall unveils his admiration for Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan and Charles Bronson's rugged charisma, embodying a blend of heroism and humble tenacity that subtly mirrored in Ditko's later creations. Explore how Steve's quiet but profound philosophical outlook, including his interactions with Ayn Rand's philosophy, shaped his work and relationships within the comic book industry, and despite being labeled as a recluse, was quite interactively funny. Gain insight into Ditko's personal and professional ethos of letting his work speak for itself, his aversion to the spotlight, and his enduring focus on the present and future over the past. Through a blend of heartwarming and insightful anecdotes, this interview not only sheds light on Ditko's complex persona and his journey through the comic book world, but also underscores the indelible legacy he left behind, as seen through the eyes of his family.#SpiderMan #Marvel #DCComics #StanLee #DrStrange #Batman #SteveDitko#ComicStrips #JackKirby #WW2©2023 Comic Book HistoriansSupport the show

Casi todos la recuerdan como la Jane del Tarzán más famoso del cine, el que interpretó Johnny Weissmuller, pero Maureen O'Sullivan fue mucho más que eso, a lo largo de su vida participó en más de 70 películas con personajes muy diversos, además de ser la madre de la también actriz Mia Farrow. Se cumplen 25 años de su fallecimiento y en el capítulo de esta semana queremos recordarla. También vamos a hablar de aquello que se conoció como “Dogma 95”, una corriente cinematográfica de finales del siglo XX que proponía volver a las raíces del cine eliminando todo lo superfluo, desde el maquillaje, la iluminación, los trucos de cámara o el uso de la música en su banda sonora. Hemos charlado con Laia Costa, la última ganadora del Goya a la mejor actriz por su trabajo en 'Cinco lobitos', y en la sección de “Cine incómodo” traemos esta semana una película que provocó un grave incidente diplomático entre Corea del Norte y los Estados Unidos: 'La entrevista', protagonizada en 2014 por James Franco y Seth Rogen.

"He looked cool in the jungle"—Moulty on rock and roll hairInterviews in the essential Ugly Things magazine rarely disappoint. In the latest issue, writer Greg Prevost and editor and publisher Mike Stax talk with the Barbarians' legendary, hook-handed drummer Victor "Moulty" Moulton (in a conversation edited from two sit-downs spanning twenty years). Apart from some execrable homophobia —Moulton became a born again Christian after his career in rock and roll, and his attitudes about playing with the Barbarians in queer clubs in his hometown of Provincetown are unfortunate—the interview's a terrific glimpse into the Barbarian' rapid ascent and just as rapid commercial decline. It's another UT must-read for anyone interested in mid-1960s rock and roll and the record business.My favorite line occurs when either Prevost or Stax asks Moulton about his band's notoriously long hair, a collective mane born in the band's small town which contributed to a pretty savage look (and sound) for 1964. Moulton explains:We didn't have long hair because of music. We were all musicians all the time but we grew our long hair because we saw Tarzan on television. Johnny Weissmuller was our hero; he had long hair and he looked cool in the jungle.http://www.nosuchthingaswas.com/2016/04/he-looked-cool-in-junglemoulty-on-rock.html

Min 4: FILTRANDO MANTÍCORAS Y PROTECTORES Las salas de cine se relamen y se preparan para “Avatar 2”, el gran evento cinematográfico de los últimos años pero, en esta semana de transición, la nueva cartelera nos deja uno de esos títulos que no pasan desapercibidos. Activamos “El Filtro Luchini” para conocer las razones por las que el regreso de Carlos Vermut (“Quién te cantará”, “Magical Girl”) con “Mantícora” es una zambullida perturbadora en la condición humana y explicamos por qué su apuesta turbia y arriesgada le ha valido varias nominaciones potentes a los Goya. Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández nos descubren el valor de “Mantícora” al tiempo que analizan también la calidad de otros estrenos que renuevan la oferta en salas, como la española “Cuerpo abierto”; la británica y amable “El viaje a París de la señora Harris” o el comercial y violento regreso a Hollywood de Banderas en “El Protector. Min 32: ENTREVISTA: LOS CINES, LISTOS PARA AVATAR 2 A menos de una semana de la película-evento más esperada de los últimos años, los cines se preparan para sacar el máximo rendimiento a las virtudes técnicas y visuales del ambicioso regreso de James Cameron. Desde los cines MK2 Cine Sur Luz del Tajo de Toledo nos atiende su gerente, Miguel González, para contarnos las condiciones técnicas que tendrán que tener las salas para sacar el máximo rendimiento al 3D y al potente sonido que trae la película más esperada del año. ¿Costará más la entrada? ¿Serán gafas de alquiler y de última generación? ¿Cómo está funcionando la preventa? ¿Estarán ya completas todas las sesiones del primer viernes de estreno? Min 40: ESPECIAL BSO: 90 AÑOS DE TARZÁN A punto de despedir este 2022 no podíamos dejar pasar la ocasión de celebrar los 90 años de vida del “Tarzán” al que encarnó el mítico Johnny Weissmuller. Ángel Luque nos ofrece un repaso a algunas de las bandas sonoras más llamativas que han rodeado a las múltiples adaptaciones que se han visto en la gran pantalla del hombre mono más cinegénico. Feliz cumpleaños, querido Tarzán… … y feliz escucha.

Il cinema non era più muto da soli cinque anni quando Johnny scoprì che la sceneggiatura del film in cui doveva recitare prevedeva un urlo che nessuno avrebbe più dimenticato. Ma prima di diventare Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller era stato il primo uomo nella storia sotto la barriera del minuto nei 100 metri stile libero, la sua specialità. Learn more about your ad choices.

Author David Davis returns to the show to talk about his book Waterman: The Life and Times of Duke Kahanamoku, about the legendary 3x Olympic medalist and surfing pioneer. David's book has been turned into a documentary that will air on PBS' American Masters in May.   Duke Kahanamoku won back-to-back gold medals in the 100m freestyle at the 1912 and 1920 Summer Olympics. He also won silver at the 1924 Summer Olympics, just losing out to Johnny Weissmuller, in an Olympic career that spanned a whopping 12 years.   If it weren't for Duke, surfing might not have become the sport it is today. Duke spread his love of surfing around the world, essentially starting surfing cultures in California and Australia.  Follow David on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/ddavisla Check out his website: http://www.ddavisla.com/.   You can get his books (and support the show) by shopping through our Bookshop.org storefront.   Also on today's show, we have: An Albertville 1992 Winter Olympic first News from TKFLASTAN Updates from Paris 2024 and Milan-Cortina 2026 For a transcript of this episode, please visit: https://wp.me/pbRtIx-1QV   Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive! ***  Keep the Flame Alive: The Podcast for Fans of the Olympics and Paralympics with hosts Jill Jaracz & Alison Brown   Support the show: Tell a friend: http://flamealivepod.com Bookshop.org store: https://bookshop.org/shop/flamealivepod Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/flamealivepod   Hang out with us online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flamealivepod Insta: http://www.instagram.com/flamealivepod Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/flamealivepod Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/312069749587022   Newsletter: Sign up at http://flamealivepod.com VM/Text: (208) FLAME-IT / (208) 352-6348  

Neste episódio Ricardo de Moura nos deixa mais pertinho dos preparativos para os Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024. Paris será a única capital do mundo a sediar por três vezes os Jogos Olímpicos: 1900, 1924, 2024, e Ricardo nos apresenta alguns fatos históricos e atuais interessantes, confira! Você sabia que: - Pierre de Frédy (Barão de Coubertain), foi o fundador dos Jogos Olímpicos da era moderna, e em 1924 então Presidente do Comitê Olímpico Internacional, organizou o evento de forma invejável? - Os Jogos de 1924 foram a inspiração para a canção “Carruagens de Fogo”, do compositor grego Vangelis, sendo que a canção e o filme ganharam quatro Oscars em 1981? - Que o personagem de 12 filmes do Tarzan, foi feito por Johnny Weissmuller, então com 20 anos, nadador que ganhou duas medalhas de ouro? - Gertrude Ederle, bronze nos 100 metros livres da natação, dois anos depois de ganhar a medalha, foi a primeira mulher a cruzar o Canal da Mancha (entre a Inglaterra e a França) a nado, realizando o percurso duas horas mais rápido do que qualquer homem que nadara entre os dois lados do canal até então? - O corredor finlandês Paavo Nurmi que ganhou cinco ouros em Paris, ficou conhecido como o “finlandês voador”? - Pela primeira vez para os Jogos Olímpicos e Paralímpicos haverá um único logotipo dos Jogos? uma única comunicação visual sem discriminação? Em seu ver, Paris está mostrando organização, vocação e inspiração...e citando uma frase de Clarice Lispector, complementa: “Vocação é diferente de talento. Pode-se ter vocação e não ter talento. Isto é, pode-se ser chamado e não saber como ir.” Gotas de Energia, o Podcast do Movimento Esporte Conecta! #segueaale --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alessandra639/message

A l'origine, Weissmuller était un nageur, et plutôt bon, très bon même puisqu'il a obtenu 5 médailles d'or aux Jeux Olympiques dans les années 1920. Mais son idole, ce n'était pas un autre nageur, non c'était un acteur, Clark Gable, la star de "Autant en emporte le vent". Un jour alors qu'il est à Los Angeles, Johnny Weissmuller apprend que Gable y tourne un film en studio. Il décide de s'y rendre dans l'espoir de l'apercevoir.

Elle, Jane. Lui, Tarzan. Ça vous dit forcément quelque chose. Mais le personnage de l'écrivain américain Edgar Rice Burroughs a-t-il existé ? Une chose est sûre, le romancier n'a, dit-on, jamais posé une sandale en Afrique. Son personnage au cri d'anthologie exotico-tyrolien (entendu pour la première fois dans Tarzan l'homme singe de 1932, avec le champion de natation Johnny Weissmuller dans le slip du seigneur de la jungle) lui a sans doute été inspiré par d'authentiques événements et personnages. Dans cet épisode, découvrez l'origine de Tarzan l'homme singe. Un article écrit par Olivier Renault. Bonne écoute.

In 1923 Lou Gehrig, The Iron Horse hits his first of 493 home runs… 1921 Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller sets his first 2 world records… Weissmuller went on to play the role of Tarzan in early American cinema

Co-founder of KAP7 International, Brad Schumacher has experienced success in athletics and business. A former swimmer, water polo player and Olympic gold medalist. Schumacher is a two-time, two-sport Olympian. He was a member of the winning relay teams at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Four years later, he was a member of the U.S. men's water polo team at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Schumacher's two gold medals came as a member of the U.S. men's swimming relay teams at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia: in the men's 4X100-meter freestyle relay and in the men's 4X200-meter freestyle relay. He qualified for both swimming and water polo for the 2000 Olympic Games, but chose to compete only in water polo. At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he helped the U.S. men's water polo team to a sixth-place finish. He was the top sprinter at the 2000 Olympics, with 20 sprints won. The first American world champion in swimming and water polo since the 1904 Olympic Games, he earned a gold medal at the Pan-Pacific Games in 1997 and his first national championship at the U.S. Spring Nationals. In water polo, he represented the U.S. at the FINA World Championships, FINA World Cup, World University Games and the Goodwill Games. In 1998, Schumacher competed in World Championships in both sports and joined an elite group of aquatics stars that competed in both sports on the world-class level: Duke Khanamoku, Johnny Weissmuller, Bob Hughes and Matt Biondi. A swimming and water polo All-America selection at the University of the Pacific, he is the co-founder of KAP7 International, Inc., a water polo equipment company, with former Olympic teammate Wolf Wigo and he spends his spare time as the head coach of SET water polo club, a Southern California-based team that continues to rank among the top water polo clubs in the country. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cwpa/support

In the jungle and not always so quiet jungle is where Tarzan the Ape Man lived. Johnny Weissmuller won five Olympic gold medals for swimming and one bronze medal for water polo. After retiring from competition, he became the sixth actor to portray Tarzan, a role he played in twelve feature films. Dozens of other actors have played Tarzan, but Weissmuller is by far the best known.

D'un côté, Jean-Pierre Andrevon pour le livre "Tarzan, L'Homme sauvage : Actualité d'un mythe". De l'autre, Daniel Hélin pour son nouveau projet "Pingouin". Dès 11h30, retrouvez la « Bagarre dans la Discothèque » avec Nicolas Herman et Hélène Maquet. Et dès midi : La chronique de Josef Schovanec : Tetris, à l'occasion du décès du grand champion américain Jonas Neubauer, sept fois champions du monde sur Tetris. Jean-Pierre Andrevon pour son livre "Tarzan, L'Homme sauvage : Actualité d'un mythe" (Vendémiaire). Tarzan : un nom magique qui invoque instantanément un cri mythique, une silhouette sautant de liane en liane, et tout un univers de jungles perdues, de cités oubliées et d'impitoyables affrontements avec des trafiquants sans scrupules. Né en 1912 de l'imagination du feuilletoniste américain Edgar Rice Burroughs, le Seigneur de la jungle, fils d'un lord anglais élevé par des singes après le naufrage sur une côte de l'Afrique occidentale du navire qui transportait ses parents, a immédiatement connu un succès phénoménal et pris d'assaut tous les supports de la culture populaire. Le cinéma, bien sûr, sous les traits notamment de Johnny Weissmuller puis, bien plus tard, de Christophe Lambert, mais aussi la bande dessinée, les jeux vidéo, les séries télévisées, les dessins animés... À l'instar de Superman, la créature de Frankenstein, Zorro ou Dracula, Tarzan est devenu une icône de notre imaginaire collectif. Enfant sauvage, homme libre vivant un amour idyllique dans une nature inviolée, protecteur des animaux, héros de la lutte contre les forces d'exploitation et d'oppression des puissances colonisatrices, il incarne comme aucun autre les remords et les désirs refoulés de la civilisation moderne. Sous la direction de Jean-Pierre Andrevon, tour d'horizon des métamorphoses de cet invulnérable naufragé qui n'en finit pas d'être de notre temps. L'auteur-compositeur-interprète belge Daniel Hélin pour son nouveau projet "Pingouin". "L'objet Pop" de Nicolas Herman : la bouteille d'Orangina.

Chris shares his experience in life and sport growing up as a deaf person trying to ‘fit in' and learning that the realisation that every one of us is different Chris really brings to life what it has been like living with and overcoming adversity. Being born profoundly deaf, being bullied as a young person and playing performance sport and successfully undertaking senior positions with sporting organisations are all areas we cover in this amazing conversation over a zoom call. For me there is a real theme of do we want to be treated the same or differently and the consequences of this. If you are facing challenges and wondering how you may over come them then listen in for some inspiration and guidance. Chris shares some of his strategies that helped.

The first attempt to launch on 27 May 2020 was aborted at T−16:53 minutes due to bad weather caused by Tropical Storm Bertha. Demo-2 is the first crewed orbital spaceflight launched from the United States since the final Space Shuttle mission, STS-135. The mission launched spacecraft commander Douglas Hurley and joint-operations commander Robert Behnken to the International Space Station (ISS). “SpaceX, Dragon, we’re go for launch, let’s light this candle,” Hurley said to SpaceX mission control just before liftoff. The Crew Dragon capsule used in the launch was named Endeavour, in honor of its namesake Space Shuttle. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was emotional, to the point that he sometimes found it hard to speak during a post-launch news conference.“This is something that should really get people right in the heart, of anyone who has any spirit of exploration,” he said. “It’s something that humanity should be excited about and proud of occurring on this day.” The live stream was watched online by 3 million people on NASA feeds, and the SpaceX feed peaked at 4.1 million viewers.30 May 2020 – Michael Angelis passes away at 76 - https://deadline.com/2020/05/michael-angelis-obituary-voice-thomas-the-tank-engine-1202947847/British actor Michael Angelis, whose soothing voice graced more than two decades of the children’s series Thomas the Tank Engine, has died. The Liverpool native took over the voicing duties from Ringo Starr as the narrator of the UK version of Thomas the Tank Engine And Friends in 1991. He narrated 13 series of the popular children’s TV show in Britain from 1991 to 2012 as well as several other products and media related to the franchise. .

Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” tells the story of a construction worker bored with his humdrum life, seeming everyman Douglas Quaid starred by Arnold Schwarzenegger (not exactly the paragon of “everyman,” but hey, that’s Hollywood) who suddenly finds himself embroiled in espionage on Mars and unable to determine if the experiences are real or the result of memory implants. With a budget of $50–60 million, Total Recall was one of the most expensive films made at the time of its release, although estimates of its production budget vary and whether it ever actually held the record is not certain.Remembrances2 June 1785 – Jean Paul de Gua de Malves - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Paul_de_Gua_de_MalvesFrench mathematician who published in 1740 a work on analytical geometry in which he applied it, without the aid of differential calculus, to find the tangents,asymptotes, and various singular points of an algebraic curve. He further showed how singular points and isolated loops were affected by conical projection. He gave the proof of Descartes's rule of signs which is to be found in most modern works. It is not clear whether Descartes ever proved it strictly, and Newton seems to have regarded it as obvious. De Gua de Malves was acquainted with many of the French philosophes during the last decades of theAncien Régime. He was an early, short-lived, participant, then editor (later replaced by Diderot) of the project that ended up as theEncyclopédie. Dennis Diderot called him "profound geometrician" at his funeral. He died in Paris.2 June 1970 – Albert Lamorisse - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_LamorisseFrench filmmaker, film producer, and writer of award-winning short films which he began making in the late 1940s. He also invented the strategic board game Risk originally released as La Conquête du Monde (The Conquest of the World) in France in 1957. Lamorisse's best known work is the short film The Red Balloon (1956), which earned him the Palme d'Or Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and an Oscar for writing the Best Original Screenplay in 1956. In the mid-sixties Lamorisse shot parts of The Prospect of Iceland, a documentary about Iceland, which was made by Henry Sandoz and commissioned by NATO. He died in a helicopter crash in Karaj while filming the documentaryLe Vent des amoureux (The Lovers' Wind), during a helicopter-tour in 1970 at the age of 48.2 June 1990 – Rex Harrison - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_HarrisonSir Reginald Carey Harrison, known as Rex Harrison, was an English actor of stage and screen. Harrison began his career on the stage in 1924. He made his West End debut in 1936 appearing in the Terence Rattigan play French Without Tears, in what was his breakthrough role. He won his first Tony Award for his performance as Henry VIII in the play Anne of the Thousand Days in 1949. He won his second Tony for the role of Professor Henry Higgins in the stage production of My Fair Lady in 1957. In addition to his stage career, Harrison also appeared in numerous films. His first starring role was opposite Vivien Leigh in the romantic comedy Storm in a Teacup . His other roles since then include Cleopatra as Julius Cesar, My Fair Lady ( reprising his role as Henry Higgins which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor), and the title role of the English doctor who talks to animals, Doctor Dolittle (1967). Harrison was not by any objective standards a singer (his talking on pitch style he used in My Fair Lady would be adopted by many other classically trained actors with limited vocal ranges); the music was usually written to allow for long periods of recitative, or "speaking to the music". Nevertheless, "Talk to the Animals", which Harrison performed in Doctor Dolittle, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1967. He died from pancreatic cancer in Manhattan,New York City at the age of 82.2 June 2017 – Peter Sallis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_SallisEnglish actor, known for his work on British television. He was the voice of Wallace in the Academy Award-winning Wallace and Gromit films and played Norman "Cleggy" Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine from its 1973 inception until the final episode in 2010, making him the only actor to appear in all 295 episodes. He also voiced Rat in The Wind in the Willows animated series, appeared in Danger Man in the episode "Find and Destroy" as Gordon; the BBCDoctor Who serial "The Ice Warriors" as renegade scientist Elric Penley and in an episode of The Persuaders! "The Long Goodbye" . While a student in 1983, animator Nick Park wrote to Sallis asking him if he would voice his character Wallace, an eccentric inventor. Sallis agreed to do so for a donation of £50 to his favourite charity. The work was eventually released in 1989 and Aardman Animations' Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out went on to win a BAFTA award.Sallis reprised his role in the Oscar- and BAFTA Award-winning films The Wrong Trousers in 1993 and A Close Shave in 1995. His last role as Wallace was in 2010's Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention. Sallis then retired due to ill health, with Ben Whitehead taking over the role. He died from natural causes in Denville Hall, London at the age of 96.Famous Birthdays2 June 1774 – William Lawson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lawson_(explorer)English-born Australian explorer, land owner, grazier and politician who migrated to Sydney,New South Wales in 1800. Along with his close friends and colleagues Gregory Blaxland and William Wentworth, he pioneered the first successful crossing of the Blue Mountains by European settlers. Lawson commenced his exploration of the Blue Mountains alongside Blaxland and William Charles Wentworth on 11 May 1813. He kept a journal of the expedition titled, 'W Lawsons Narrative. Across Blue Mountains'. After the crossing, Lawson, like Blaxland and Wentworth, was rewarded with a grant of 1,000 acres (4 km²) of land by Governor Macquarie. He selected his land along the Campbells River, part of the Bathurst settlement for which he was appointed Commandant until his retirement in 1824. Whilst Commandant he continued to undertake expeditions, and in 1821, with Constable Blackman, discovered the Cudgegong River and further explored Mudgee and its outlying regions. In 1963 Lawson was honoured, together with Blaxland and Wentworth, on a postage stamp issued by Australia Post depicting the Blue Mountains crossing. He was born in Middlesex.2 June 1904 – Johnny Weissmuller - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_WeissmullerAustro-Hungarian-born American competition swimmer, water polo player and actor. He was known for playing Edgar Rice Burroughs' ape man Tarzan in films of the 1930s and 1940s and for having one of the best competitive swimming records of the 20th century. Weissmuller was one of the world's fastest swimmers in the 1920s, winning five Olympic gold medals for swimming and one bronze medal for water polo. He was the first to break the one minute barrier for 100-meter freestyle, and the first to swim 440-yard freestyle under five minutes. He won fifty-two U.S. national championships, set more than 50 world records (spread over both freestyle and backstroke),and was purportedly undefeated in official competition for the entirety of his competitive career. After retiring from competitions, he became the sixth actor to portray Tarzan, a role he played in twelve feature films. Dozens of other actors have also played Tarzan, but Weissmuller is by far the best known. Weissmuller's distinctive Tarzan yell is still often used in films in his legacy. His acting career began when he signed a seven-year contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and played the role of Tarzan in Tarzan the Ape Man (1932). The movie was a huge success and Weissmuller became an overnight international sensation. The author of Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs, was pleased with Weissmuller, although he so hated the studio's depiction of a Tarzan who barely spoke English. In a total of 12 Tarzan films, Weissmuller earned an estimated $2,000,000 and established himself as what many movie historians consider the definitive Tarzan. When Weissmuller finally left the role of Tarzan, he immediately traded his loincloth costume for a slouch hat and safari suit for the role of Jungle Jim for Columbia. He made 13 Jungle Jim films between 1948 and 1954. He was born in Szabadfalva (Freidorf).2 June 1961 – Liam Cunningham - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_CunninghamIrish stage and screen actor.

Cunningham has been nominated for the London Film Critics' Circle Award, the British Independent Film Award, has won two Irish Film & Television Awards, and shared a BAFTA with Michael Fassbender, for their crime-drama short film Pitch Black Heist. Cunningham came to international prominence with his role as Captain Ryan in the critically acclaimed, independent horror film,Dog Soldiers. Cunningham was producer Philip Segal’s first choice to portray the Eighth Doctor in the TV movie of Doctor Who (1996), but was vetoed by Fox executives. He was born inEast Wall,Dublin.4 June 1950 – Clifford Stoll - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_StollClifford Paul "Cliff" Stoll, American astronomer, author and teacher. He is best known for his investigation in 1986, while working as a systems administrator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, that led to the capture of hackerMarkus Hess, and for Stoll's subsequent book The Cuckoo's Egg, in which he details the investigation. Stoll has written three books, articles in the non-specialist press and is a frequent contributor to the mathematics YouTube channel Numberphile. In 1986, while employed as a systems administrator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Stoll investigated a tenacious hacker—later identified as KGB recruit Markus Hess—who stole passwords, pirated multiple computer accounts, and attempted to breach US military security. After identifying the intrusion, Stoll set up a honeypot for Hess, eventually tracking him down and passing details to the authorities. It is recognized as one of the first examples of digital forensics. In his 1995 book Silicon Snake Oil and an accompanying article in Newsweek, Stoll called the prospect of e-commerce "baloney". Stoll also raised questions about the influence of the Internet on future society, and whether it would be beneficial. Stoll sells blown glass Klein bottles on the internet through his company Acme Klein Bottles. He stores his inventory in the crawlspace underneath his home and accesses it when needed with a homemade miniature robotic forklift. He runs the company out of his home. He was born in Buffalo, New York.Events of Interest2 June 1835 – 1835 – P. T. Barnum and his circus start their first tour of the United States - https://www.historyandheadlines.com/june-2-1835-pt-barnums-circus-starts-first-tour-us-business-may-21-2017/On June 2, 1835, American showman and huckster Phineas T. Barnum began his first tour of the US with his circus, later called “The Greatest Show on Earth,” and then “Barnum and Bailey’s Circus,” “Barnum and Bailey’s Greatest Show on Earth,” and finally “Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus.” Barnum became a showman in 1835 after his lottery business was shut down, ending a lucrative racket. He went to New York and started showing his first exhibit, an elderly, blind, black woman he touted as being 160 years old and formerly the nurse of George Washington. (The woman died the following year, age about 80.) He is widely credited with coining the adage "There's a sucker born every minute",although no proof can be found of him saying this. Barnum sometimes toured with his prize acts, including Colonel Tom Thumb, a diminutive midget Barnum claimed as the World’s Smallest Man.2 June 1910 – Charles Rolls, a co-founder of Rolls-Royce Limited, becomes the first man to make a non-stop double crossing of the English Channel by plane. - https://www.aircraftinteriorsinternational.com/features/remembering-royces-pioneering-flight.htmlAt 6.30pm on 2 June 1910, aviation pioneer Charles Stewart Rolls took off alone in his flimsy biplane from Swingate aerodrome, near Dover, to achieve the world’s first non-stop double crossing of the English Channel by aeroplane. According to a report in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, Rolls reached an altitude of 900ft and a speed of “quite forty miles an hour” as he approached the coast of France. By 7.15pm, he was flying over the small French town of Sangatte, where the present-day Channel Tunnel emerges. Leaning out of his aeroplane, he threw overboard three weighted envelopes, each containing the message: ‘Greetings to the Auto Club of France He was over Sangatte, France, at 19.15 and back in Dover at 20.00. The journey had taken 95 minutes and he circled the Castle in triumph! Over 3,000 people witnessed the event, after which Charles was carried through the town shoulder high. The Aero Clubs of both England and France presented him with special awards. London’s Madame Tussauds even began making a waxwork of him.2 June 2003 – Europe launches its first voyage to another planet, Mars. The European Space Agency's Mars Express probe launches from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Express#LaunchThe mission, called Mars Express, will map the planet, use a powerful radar to probe its surface for evidence of water, and measure water concentrations in the atmosphere. The spacecraft was launched on June 2, 2003 at 23:45 local time from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, using a Soyuz-FG/Fregat rocket. The Mars Express and Fregat booster were initially put into a 200 km Earth parking orbit, then the Fregat was fired again to put the spacecraft into a Mars transfer orbit. The Mars Express was the first Russian-launched probe to successfully make it out of low Earth orbit since the Soviet Union fell. The space vehicle, which cost $350 million was initially put into Earth orbit, and about 90 minutes later was given the final push to send it on a six-month journey to Mars — the ESA's first interplanetary mission. Mars Express is to remain in its Martian orbit for at least one Martian year, 687 Earth days.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

This year that dream became a reality and I offered one in January and one in February. We had mostly women, many of them in recovery interestingly enough, and we had an amazing time." - Karlyn BooksThe Do Over Sponsor This Episode About this Episode   In 2014, I was on the island and spotted an amazing swim coach giving mini-lessons out of the demonstration Endless Pool on the main drag, across from the pier.  It was none other than Karlyn!  Eager to get into the pool and learn from her, I quickly changed into my suit and waited for my turn.  After a great lesson where she both confirmed what I was doing well and gave me some new things to experiment with, I dried off, introduced myself formally, and asked her for an interview.     She obliged, we snuck off to a grassy nook by the hotel and not only had a wonderful interview, but we also struck off an enjoyable friendship.  At the age of 53, Karlyn was to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) joining all-time swimming greats such as Janet Evans, Mark Spitz, and Johnny Weissmuller to name a few. Competition is stiff to be considered, let alone inducted, and since its inception back in 1965 only 14 "Masters" swimmers have been honored. While an amazing accomplishment in itself, what is even more amazing is the circuitous, near-death journey she took to get there.  Along the way, Karlyn has overcome addiction, set over 300 Masters World Records, over 200 FINA World records, coached thousands of athletes, traveled the globe teaching swimming, and made her home in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Karlyn shows off her excellent high elbow catch and forearm press all while talking to the fishies.

It's mermaids in Mexico and memoirs about mammals in this very special episode.

WOW!!! This week’s episode is out of this world and filled with Lunatics, parks and just outright fun in the powder or snow. NASA is planning on sending people back to the moon and are starting to plan missions in advance with an eye to researching developments for future exploration. That’s right folks, it may not be 1999 but Moonbase Alpha is finally looking at becoming a reality. Plus there are going to be new buggies and other equipment being sent to the moon so the Astronauts will have something to play with when they arrive next. Wonder if they will find that hidden base full of Nazis on the dark side of the moon or transformers?Next we look into why Manga sales are taking over the U.S comic sales. Could it be the fact that the subject matter is just so much cooler, fun and broad? Or is it part of some plot to take over the world and they are brain washing us all? Hmmm, if this was an anime episode we would now include a musical interlude. The scene, while our heroes wander the country looking for the answer our work on computers calculating and plotting what is happening. This is when the nutty and bumbling sidekick runs around in circles and makes a mess and eats lots of fried chicken. Jeepers, we are living in an anime, now I want my ramen and feel an overwhelming need to run down the street with my arms flung behind me screaming. Nope, not happening, oh well, such a shame.In response to a request from a listener we have had the Professor look into child safety measures in gaming such as the new Harry Potter Wizards Unite. We have a number of articles linked in the notes that have information that can help parents develop strategies aimed at helping protect their dirt magnets, children or teenage food disposal units. There are some really good points and suggestions in this, but as we aren’t parents we are unable to offer any expert advice.

The strike-slip earthquake took place on the Fairweather Fault and triggered a rockslide of 40 million cubic yards (30 million cubic meters and about 90 million tons) into the narrow inlet of Lituya Bay, Alaska. The impact was heard 50 miles (80 km) away, and the sudden displacement of water resulted in a megatsunami that washed out trees to a maximum elevation of 1,720 feet (520 m) at the entrance of Gilbert Inlet.

Il protagonista dell'incredibile storia di oggi è Johnny Weissmuller, il fattorino figlio di un minatore che diventò il più forte nuotatore degli anni '20. Johnny fu il primo nella storia a scendere sotto il muro del minuto nei 100sl, capace di realizzare in carriera 67 record mondiali e di vincere 6 medaglie olimpiche, per poi diventare uno dei più famosi attori di Hollywood, grazie al ruolo di Tarzan.

Noel and Michael are joined by returning guest Melissa Kaercher (A Reel Education, A Reel Education: Noir) to discuss teenage Boy, the return of Jane, and a hidden civilization of warrior women in Sol Lesser and Johnny Weissmuller's third collaboration for RKO.

Denna gång har vi glädjen att presentera "mångkonstnären" och surfaren Johan Otterdahl. Ända sedan Johan var liten har han drömt om Hawaii, vågor och palmer och en period åt han bara Hawaii pizza och försökte få sin skola att lära ut Hawaiianska språket! Johan är en person med många idéer och drömmar men olikt många andra förverkligar han dem. Johan dök upp på den svenska surfscenen i mitten av nittiotalet och blev snabbt känd under namnet "Swingkid". Johan representerade landslaget vid två tillfällen (2003 och 2007) och han arrangerade surf tävlingen "Gathering of the Tribe" i Varberg under början av 2000-talet. Om Surfingen är hans ledstjärna som tagit honom till olika platser på jorden så är det mycket tack vare musiken (och till en början även dansen) som han haft möjlighet att göra detta. Johan har gjort två album under artistnamnet "Jonah Lake" , "Neverland" och "Freesoul", (ett tredje är påväg) otaliga livespelningar och han har totalt sett mer en en miljon streams på Spotify! Idag tillbringar Johan 4-5 månader om året i sin Van på Nya Zeeland tillsammans med sin flickvän (fru om ca en månad) och resten av året i Lerum vid Göteborg där han även har sin musikstudio. Eftersom den totala tiden som Johan har tillbringat i en husbil kan räknas i år! vet han en hel del vad som funkar och inte funkar och I detta avsnittet delar Johan med sig av några konkreta tips vid "Vanlife". Vi får även ta del av hans tio år på Fuerteventura där han en tid drev ett surfcamp , Villa Villekulla. Johan delar med sig av sina upplevelser på Hawaii där drömmen om att paddla ut på Pipeline och se sina surfhjältar på nära håll bli sann. Men vi pratar också om känslan att vara annorlunda, bryta normen, vara utanför "vardagssystemet" (8-5 jobb, hus etc) skitsnackandet och avundsjukan men mest av allt pratar vi stoken av att surfa oavsett vågkvalitet. Detta poddavsnitt sändes live under Hallifornia i Varberg i Societetskällaren i samarbete med "Inspirationskällan". Sändningen återfinns på Youtube: https://youtu.be/KU_lpHgsiuk?t=1h30m48s Rättelse: I "Duke kook" avsnittet sägs felaktigt att Duke Kahanamoku tar OS silver 1912, det ska naturligtvis vara Guld, såsom Johan säger. Det är istället vid OS i Paris 1924 som Duke tar silver , slagen av "Tarzan" (Johnny Weissmuller).

Quand j'étais plus petit, mon père m'emmenait à la piscine tous les vendredis soir avec ma grande sœur. Son principal objectif était de m'apprendre à nager ! Mais il utilisait un procédé assez cauchemardesque. Il me mettait au bord de l'endroit le plus profond du bassin et me disait, sûr de lui : "Lance toi !". Il n'attendait certainement pas que je me détache du bord et que je nage comme Johnny Weissmuller. Ce qu'il attendait, c'est que je dépasse ma peur et que j'essaye. Même si je prenais le risque de me noyer... Au final, j'ai appris à nager ! J'ai mis du temps à me lancer mais au fur et à mesure d'essayer, c'est devenue naturel. Aujourd'hui, je ne regrette pas du tout et je n'envie certainement pas ceux qui ne peuvent nager. Dans la vie c'est pareil, tu vas être tenté de rester confortablement à l'endroit où tu as pied. Mais si tu veux vivre une vie passionnante, tu vas devoir te jeter du bord...

We are nearing the end of our journey that has been The Great Movie Ride Film Series and this stop brings us to the jungles of Africa and the world of TARZAN THE APE MAN.  The first of 12 films that would star Johnny Weissmuller as the title character, the film was a smash hit and has stayed as a classic ever since it's initial release.  What about today though?  Has the film held up?

Después de más de 100 años de historia, vuelve Tarzán al cine entre la indiferencia del personal. ¡Tarzán mola!. La genial creación de Edgar Rice Burroughs es uno de los personajes más adaptados de la cultura pop pero quizás la marca de Johnny Weissmuller sea demasiado fuerte. Ahondamos en los orígenes del mito, repasando desde su paso por el cine mudo, los tebeos de Foster, Haggard o de Marvel y DC, los exploits españoles, los dibujos animados y claro, los principales actores que le han encarnado: desde el playboy Lex Barker al miope Christopher Lambert, pasando por el reciente Alexander Skargard. Uníos a nuestra expedición por el Africa colonial, ¡ankawa!

Synopsis Richmond, California. World War II. A cross burning takes innocent lives and unsettles the town. After Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, American Italians start to disappear, a rapist promises to revisit his victims, and someone viciously beats shipyard workers – to death. His failure to solve these seemingly unrelated events haunts homicide detective Oliver Wright, even after he reenlists in the Marines and finds himself fighting in the Pacific.  Oliver returns to Richmond near the end of the war, injured and afraid his career is over. But when an Italian Prisoner of War is murdered the night the Port Chicago Mutiny verdicts are announced, and black soldiers are suspected of the crime, the Army asks Oliver to find out the truth. He joins forces with an Italian POW captain and with a black MP embittered by a segregated military. During their investigation, these unlikely allies expose layers of deceit and violence that stretch back to World War I, and uncover a common thread that connects the earlier crimes.  In the Shadow of Lies reveals the darkness and turmoil of the Bay Area during World War II, while celebrating the spirit of the everyday people who made up the home front. Its intriguing characters will resonate with the reader long after its deftly intertwined mysteries are solved. Excerpt San Francisco Bay, 1944 “Stop, or I’ll shoot!” A soldier raised his pistol and searched the water for Luca. “Stop!” The Italian POW broke the surface ten feet away from the ferry. The soldier fired at the bobbing head, then aimed again. A cane struck his arm. “Stand down, soldier!” Lt. Oliver Wright stumbled against him, then righted himself with the cane. “Can’t you see what’s happening?” “Oh, I get it.” The guard smiled and lowered the gun. “Why waste the ammo? That dago won’t last ten minutes out there.” Something flew past their heads once, then again. An MP threw a third life preserver into the bay. Harley trembled at the rail and barked sharply at Oliver. The dog flew into the air and over the side as soon as Oliver’s hand began the signal to go. The MP saluted. “My people don’t much take after Johnny Weissmuller, but we do have a talent for throwing. Corporal Nate Hermit, sir.” Their hasty introductions were subsumed in shouts and cries. “Man overboard! Come about, come about!” The ferry shuddered as the engines slammed into reverse. Above the vessel’s groans, a woman shrieked. Soldiers and POWs rushed to her side. Another group of POWs spotted a motorized skiff lashed to the rail and raced toward it. Nate took off after them, reaching the boat as it swung out and back against the side of the ferry, the POWs straining to lower it and the weight of two of their compatriots. Oliver watched Nate launch himself into the skiff, knock down one of the POWs, and almost wrench the lines free. “Sorry. If I don’t come with you, that cracker with the pistol will sink you before you can help that little girl—and your captain.” He righted himself and looked toward the water. Oliver heard him mutter, “Then again, he would just as happily sink me, too.”

Hace poco he vuelto a ver una de aquellas viejas películas de Tarzán, el auténtico Tarzán, Johnny Weissmuller. Siempre que veo esas películas me llama la atención el rudimentario disfraz que llevan los elefantes: orejas de goma, colmillos postizos… ¿Por qué habría que disfrazar a los elefantes en una película de Tarzán? La razón es que, como los elefantes africanos son muy difíciles de domar, se utilizaban elefantes asiáticos. Entonces, ¿de qué clase eran los elefantes de guerra que utilizó Anibal para atacar Roma durante la Segunda Guerra Púnica, a finales del siglo III a.C.?
