24. BerlinOnline: Thomas Pynchon: Mason & Dixon
    Rezension des Romans Mason Dixon von Thomas Pynchon in BerlinOnline LITERATUR.  
    http://www.BerlinOnline.de/kultur/lesen/belle/.html/belle.199941.08.html
    
    Extractions: Thomas Pynchon: von Robin Detje N achdem man das Buch gelesen hat, weiß man nicht, wo man anfangen soll, davon zu erzählen, weil man spürt, dass es ungefähr alles enthalten soll, was man sich vorstellen kann. Dieser Roman ist von faustischem Format. Wahrscheinlich ist die ganze Welt darin aufgehoben, so fürchtet man, nachdem man es schwitzend und ziemlich erschöpft geschlossen hat, ein Kästchen, in dem es unendlich wurbelt und schwurbelt und das man nie wieder zu öffnen wagen wird. Die Welt im Kästchen (als Buch ein ziemlicher Brocken) ist natürlich nur jene, wie wir sie zu denken gelernt haben von Diderot bis Sloterdijk, mit Aufklärung und Rationalismus und Wissenschaftsgläubigkeit und ihrem Echo, der Sehnsucht nach dem Organischen, Okkulten, Kabbalistischen. Nicht auszudenken, sie wäre größer als wir uns vorstellen können! Ein alter Kindertraum vor dem Einschlafen; man stellte sich dann gern aufgeregt Kontinente vor, so unbesiedelt wie zum Beispiel Amerika es einmal war, um sie im Schlaf zu unterwerfen. Ohne zu ahnen, dass man dort niemandem anderen begegnen würde als sich selbst. Der neue Roman von Thomas Pynchon, sandwich-artig dreigeteilt, bildet in seinem Mittelteil, also der Wurst- und Käseabteilung, einen wichtigen Schritt der Unterwerfung Nordamerikas nach. Das Buch hetzt vor einer detailliert ausgestalteten historischen Hintergrundmalerei die Wissenschaftsgläubigkeit auf den Okkultismus, bis alles leuchtend auseinanderspritzt. Und dabei blitzlichtartig nichts anderes ausleuchtet als den Horizont seines allmächtigen Autors, seines Gottes Thomas Pynchon. Eigentlich verspricht uns das Buch die ganze Welt, aber wir landen in Pynchons Kopf, in den sie hineinzupassen scheint. Kurz vor Schluss lässt der Autor eine seiner Hauptfiguren düster die Bibel hervorziehen und Hiob sagen: "Die Hölle ist aufgedeckt für ihn, und das Verderben hat keine Decke. Er breitet aus die Mitternacht an nirgend, und hänget die Erden an nichts."

25. About Thomas Dixon, Jr. (1864-1946)
    The clansman an historical romance of the Ku Klux Klan, by Thomas Dixon, Jr., 18641946 Dixon, Thomas Jr. 1864-1946, Writer.  
    http://metalab.unc.edu/docsouth/dixonclan/about.html
    
    Extractions: 1864-1946, Writer. Born in the rural North Carolina Piedmont a year before the Civil War ended, Thomas Dixon lived to see the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and the end of World War II. Between 1902 and 1939 he published 22 novels, as well as numerous plays, screenplays, books of sermons, and miscellaneous nonfiction. Educated at Wake Forest and Johns Hopkins, Dixon was a lawyer, state legislator, preacher, novelist, playwright, actor, lecturer, real-estate speculator, and movie producer. Familiar to three presidents and such notables as John D. Rockefeller, he made and lost millions, ending up an invalid court clerk in Raleigh, N.C. Paradoxically, Dixon is among the most dated and most contemporary of southern writers. In genre an early 19th-century romancer, thematically Dixon argued for three interrelated beliefs still current in southern life: the need for racial purity, the sanctity of the family centered on a traditional wife and mother, and the evil of socialism. In the Klan trilogy - The Leopard's Spots The Clansman The Traitor (1907) - and in The Sins of the Fathers (1912), Dixon presents racial conflict as an epic struggle, with the future of civilization at stake. Although Dixon personally condemned slavery and Klan activities after Reconstruction ended, he argued that blacks must be denied political equality because that leads to social equality and miscegenation, thus to the destruction of both family and civilized society. Throughout his work, white southern women are the pillars of family and society, the repositories of all human idealism.

27. Surveyors Of The Enlightenment By Rick Moody
    A review of Thomas Pyncon's new book, Mason Dixon Atlantic Monthly  
    http://www.TheAtlantic.com/issues/97jul/pynchon.htm
    
    Extractions: T HE novelist Robert Coover, speaking of influences in American fiction, once remarked that apprentices of his generation found themselves (in the 1950s) grappling with two very different models of what the novel might be. One, Coover said, was Saul Bellow's realistic if picaresque Adventures of Augie March ; the other was William Gaddis's encyclopedic Recognitions . Writers my age (mid-thirties), however, don't have the luxury of a choice. Our problem is how to confront the influence of a single novelist: Thomas Pynchon. Despite the reputation of Pynchon's magnum opus, Gravity's Rainbow (1973), many of my contemporaries came to him through his earlier work. His first novel, V. (1963), is mostly concerned with the search by one Herbert Stencil for a woman or place, or concept referred to in his father's journals simply by this initial. The action of the novel which also takes up Stencil's father, a network of European spies, and a Whole Sick Crew of American Navy wastrels goes as far afield as turn-of-the-century Egypt, southwest Africa during the First World War, and Malta after the Second World War, dealing along the way with contemporary Americana up and down the Eastern Seaboard.

Source: Compiled by Homecoming II Project 10 December 1990 from one or more of the following: raw data from U.S. Government agency sources, correspondence with POW/MIA families, published sources, interviews. Updated by the P.O.W. NETWORK 1998. REMARKS: SYNOPSIS: The 5,930-ton American drilling ship, "Glomar Java Sea" was owned by Global Marine of Houston, Texas, and leased to Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO). In the fall of 1983, the vessel was on duty about 200 miles east of the Vietnamese coast. The ship was drilling for oil in the South China Sea in a joint venture of ARCO and China Naitonal Offshore Oil Corporation, a state-owned concern. The "Glomar Java Sea" is a sister ship of the "Glomar Explorer," which, under the guise of being utilized by the late Howard Hughes in a deep sea mining operation in the Paficic, was really being used by the CIA and Navy in a $350 million project to retrieve a sunken Soviet Golf-class submarine. A large part of the submarine was in fact recovered in 1974 before details of the project were publicly revealed. The Glomar Java Sea, with its crew of 81, began drilling operations on January 9, 1983 and was the first American wildcat operaton off the Chinese coast. On October 25, 1983, the vessel was sunk during Typhoon Lex. Documents removed from the ship by a crewman before the disaster indicate that the vessel was being shadowed by armed Vietnamese naval craft and that there were submarine mines beneath the "Glomar Java Sea," placed there and retrievable by its crew. Another document indicates that the ship was damaged prior ot the typhoon when a Chinese supply boat rammed into its side, causing some $320,000 damage to the vessel. The Glomar Java Sea did not leave its post for repairs. Communications between ARCO and Global Marine, as well as telegraphic and radio communications of the U.S. Western Pacific Rescue Coordination Center (WESTPAC) reveal information about the search for the crew of the Glomar Java Sea. The documents indicate that a number of survivors from the stricken vessel were floundering in the water off the coast of Vietnam for hours after the disaster. There is also indication that the men were picked up by Vietnamese coastal patrols and are held captive of the Hanoi regime. The crew of the Glomar Java Sea included 37 Americans, 35 Chinese, four British, two Singaporeans, one Filipino, one Australian, and one Canadian. From a transcript of a radio communicaton between WESTPAC and Global Marine on October 28, three days after the sinking, WESTPAC was told: "We are informed that the SOS transmission could not have been transmitted except by human operators..." There were two 64-man lifeboats aboard the drilling ship, plus smaller lifeboats. In an October 29 communicaton from WESTPAC to Global Marine, it is clearly stated that five strobe lights were sighted by rescue aircraft in the vicinity of 17-30 North 107-45 East. The aircraft were dispatched to the area because strobe lights had been previously sighted. Lifejackets from the Glomar Java Sea were equipped with strobe lights to signal rescuers. Another October 29 communication between ARCO and Global Marine states that ARCO's search aircraft had spotted survivors in the water at 17.27 North 107.54 East, and had attempted to divert surface vessels to this location. The communication expressed the urgency to rescue the men before dark. At 8:01 a.m. on October 29, ARCO had dropped a rescue raft to survivors. Pickup would be delayed for several hours, but the "Salvanquish," a Singapore-based salvage ship, was within one half-mile of the site. At 8:38 a.m search aircraft reported pinpointing the survivors' positions by dye markers released by the survivors into the water. Two survivors were confirmed with a possible third some distance away. Plans were also made to return to the downed vessell to offlift survivors. Another document shows that on nine different occasions radio transmissions were picked up from a lifeboat. They ranged from "very strong" to "weak" with most being described as "strong." Inexplicably, despite the successful search, no rescue was made of the survivors. Later that day, the Chinese Navy picked up a Vietnamese broadcast reporting that the Vietnamese had sighted a lifeboat near their coast. The location of the lifeboat was not confirmed by friendly search parties. ARCO-Global Marine determined that this sighting was in the vicinity of Hon Gio Island, located about 80 miles up the Vietnamese coast from the old U.S. base at Da Nang and about 14 miles offshore, which placed it in Vietnamese territorial waters. It appears that rescue craft were hampered in fully investigating the report due to its location and the hint of possible interference by the Vietnamese military. It is likely that survivors would have been picked up by the Vietnamese if they had in fact drifted within Vietnam's territory. In the years following the loss of the Glomar Java Sea, a number of reports, all unconfirmed by the U.S., indicate that survivors were seen in captivity in Vietnam. It is known that the Vietnamese had shown a hostile interest in the vessel, and the Glomar Java Sea had standing orders to be alert for Vietnamese vessels in the area. The Chinese Navy served as protection for the vessel and stood ready to take action should Vietnamese craft wander too close. The waters below the vessel were mined. A month after the Glomar Java Sea went down, Chinese divers went down to the wreckage and went through the ship with a video cameras. In March 1984, American divers were able to retrieve 31 bodies from the sunken vessel. Fifteen of the bodies were identified as Americans. In addition, three British and one Singaporean were identified. The bodies of another American and two Chinese were tentatively identified. Divers photographed two bodies they were unable to retrieve. They also found one of the Chinese divers that had explored the wreckage in November 1983, lashed to the deck of the ship. The American divers determined that one of the ship's large lifeboats was launched and that an attempt had been made to launch another. Their film was seen by the mother of one of the lost crewmen. She reported that the crack in the hull of the ship at one point was a hole 48 inches across, which was punctured inward, "as though the rig had been hit by something that exploded." This fueled additional speculation that the vessel had, in fact, been attacked rather that simply mortally damaged by the typhoon. The National Transportaton Safety Board officially determined in November 1984 that an "unexplained crack" in the hull of the Glomar Java Sea was responsible for its sinking during the typhoon. Apparently, the crack in the hull allowed two storage tanks to fill with water, causing the vessel to become off-balanced, making it vulnerable to the forces of the typhoon. Officials believed it was possible that survivors may have been able to abandon the ship before it sank. It was determined that the ship had been improperly prepared for the storm. During 1984, there were reports from Southeast Asia that between six and twelve survivors of the Glomar Java Sea were being held in prisoner of war camps in Vietnam. One of the survivors was identified by a Vietnamese refugee as American crewman John Pierce. Douglas F. Pierce, father of John Pierce, reported that the refugee had seen his son, five other Americans and eight Chinese when they were brought into a prison in Da Nang, where the refugee was being held. John Pierce gave the refugee his father's business card and two sticks of gum. Mr. Pierce gave the information to Defense Intelligence Agency who determined that the refugee had not been in the camp at all, but had received the business card by mail from a friend, not directly from Pierce. DIA further determined that the incident had occurred in late October 1983 (shortly after the Glomar Java Sea went down). The refugee gave Mr. Pierce the original letter, which contained the names and addresses of two mutual Vietnamese friends. No followup was conducted on the two names in the letter by DIA, and DIA discounted the information provided by the refugee. It was not until 1990 that it became apparent that the Defense Department felt no responsibility for the Americans lost on the Glomar Java Sea. At that time, DIA reported that the responsibility for these civilians belonged to the U.S. State Department. Mr. Pierce did not stop there. He uncovered a U.S. State Department document that revealed that Cheng Quihong, the secretary and wife of the Director of China's Visa Office, was overheard telling her companion at a Hong Kong dinner that survivors from the Glomar had been picked up and were held by the Vietnamese. Pierce also learned that a JCRC report sent to DIA dated November 6, 1984, reported that a former prisoner from Pleiku prison had been held with a Chinese man who claimed to have been off the Glomar. The man said he was one of three men who were captured, and that the other two were Americans. Pierce adds that to his knowledge, neither of these reports were followed up by U.S. officials, and Pierce has received no reply to his queries regarding them. In 1989 a Japanese monk named Yoshida was released from prison after being held for years by the Vietnamese. Yoshida was shown a photograph of John Pierce and stated that Pierce looked very familiar, and that he had either seen him or someone who looked very much like him. In November, 1990, Vietamese Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach traveled to the U.S. and spoke with U.S. officials on a variety of matters. At this time, he announced that there was a black American named Walter T. Robinson living illegally in Vietnam, and invited U.S. representatives to come and help find him. Thach provided a social security number and two photographs. The Pentagon told "The Washington Times" that the two photographs of Robinson provided by Thach are of a black man. However, the Pentagon has since admitted that the photos "are not very well developed" and appear to be of either a black man or a dark Asian. Photocopies of old newspaper articles concerning Robinson, obtained by Homecoming II, show a dark-haired man of relatively dark complexion. The Pentagon has not released the photographs to the press. The Defense Department determined that Walter T. Robinson had never been listed as missing in Vietnam. Thach had provided a social security number, and according to DOD, this information correlated to a white American living in the Midwest. They concluded that the Thach information, therefore, was in error. Later information indicated that a Walter T. Robinson was listed on the crew roster of the Glomar Java Sea. When queried, the Defense Department reported that they were aware of this Robinson, but that civilians were the responsibility of the State Department. It seems apparent that the U.S. is not vigorously looking for the men missing from the Glomar Java Sea, and that like the missing and prisoners who served in military and civilian capacities during the Vietnam war, they have been abandoned.

Pynchon is, after all, the only contemporary author whose novels can be compared to James Joyce's with a straight face. His reputation as a literary heavyweight will probably frighten many readers away from this book, as will its substantial 763-page physical presence. Many who do read will consider themselves brave for doing so, and will read more and more slowly at first, looking for the profound hidden meanings and complex underlying symbolism that Pynchon books must possess. Which is too bad, really. Media Kit Contact Us

    Extractions: Renowned Author Thomas Homer-Dixon to Deliver CBC/Radio-Canada Keynote Address at BANFF 2001 (Banff, Alberta, May 4, 2001) Thomas Homer-Dixon, author of the best-selling book, The Ingenuity Gap , will present this year's CBC/Radio-Canada keynote address at the 22nd Banff Television Festival. His speech entitled, "The Ingenuity Gap in a Fragmented World." will expand upon his vision of a world that is rapidly exceeding our intellectual grasp and describe the challenges we face in finding ideas and solutions to manage today's environmental, social, and technological problems. Mr. Homer-Dixon coined "The Ingenuity Gap" as the term for the critical gap that exists between our need for practical and innovative ideas to solve these complex problems and our actual supply of those ideas. He will deliver his address at the Festival's Opening Ceremonies on Monday, June 11, at the Fairmont Banff Springs. Thomas Homer-Dixon is currently the director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program and associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto. He graduated in 1980 with a B.A. in Political Science, and took graduate studies at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts focusing on international relations, defense and arms control policy, and conflict theory. In 1989 he completed his Ph.D. and led several international research projects examining the links between environmental stress and violence in developing countries. He has recently researched how societies adapt to complex economic, ecological, and technological change and written the book, The Ingenuity Gap. He is also author of
