The Abuse of Confidence as a Major Theme in the Novels of Henry James (open access)

The Abuse of Confidence as a Major Theme in the Novels of Henry James

All of the aforementioned factors--love, money, the abuse of confidence, the guilt growing out of it, the response of the victim--contribute to the moral view constantly evolving towards an ultimate statement in the three novels of James's maturity. This thesis will attempt to explicate in full that statement. For James's theme of abuse of confidence, together with all of its elements, was in itself only the vehicle of a finely attuned moral awareness.

Henry Clay Warmoth and the Politics of Coalition (open access)

Henry Clay Warmoth and the Politics of Coalition

One of the most far reaching failures of Radical reconstruction in the South was the inability of the southern Republican parties to evolve into stable political organizations in the accepted American tradition. The standard interpretation of this problem emphasizes the role of unyielding white opposition in undermining the southern Republican regimes. This thesis approaches the subject from a different angle. Focusing upon Louisiana during the administration of that state's first reconstruction Governor, Henry Clay Warmoth, party factionalism is examined as a source of Republican weakness.

The Practice and Procedures of Broadcasting for the Play-by-play Sports Announcer

The problem is twofold. There have been short chapters on sports announcing included in most broadcasting textbooks.

Secondly, most authors have approached the field from the viewpoint of the researcher. This investigation approaches the problem from the viewpoint of a sports announcer who has started in small market radio and worked his way through to a responsible position in a major broadcasting area.
