The Rape of David Miles

The Rape of David Miles

By: John E. Thompson

David Miles is twirling about in a world of his own when suddenly he is distracted by an experienced, professional woman. David reluctantly follows the woman to her lair and is hypnotically seduced by the woman’s moves, her music and her lovemaking. When she tells him her name is Ophelia, David is even more mesmerized; as if taken by a goddess. Before meeting this woman David’s life consisted of playing in his high school jazz orchestra, playing with a jazz trio, and living and eating in his parent’s home. David’s family is closed knit and his parents (Oscar and Celia), and siblings (Michele and Bowen) are well aware of the life he wants to live; but now they must accept the fact that he wants to leave the old ways of his life and begin a new journey, one that involves travel and playing in a small band of jazz musicians. He looks up to the male members of the band (Jonas “Redd” Butler on bass, Germain “Slim” Dawson on drums), and admires the vocalist, Sheree Cole. Sheree would like to have a much more intimate relationship with David. The band – Redd River – is counting on David’s playing and writing abilities but David becomes sidetracked by his feelings for Ophelia and the hold she has over him. He is so awestruck by Ophelia that he cannot develop relationships with other women his own age, one in particular (Marie Jones). This power that Ophelia has eventually draws him in to the use of heroin; as a social user at first, but eventually he becomes wickedly addicted. David’s drug use and womanizing eventually affects his performance as a musician and threatens his membership in the band.

American Railroads

By: John F. Stover

Few scenes capture the American experience so eloquently as that of a lonely train chugging across the vastness of the Great Plains, or snaking through tortuous high mountain passes. Although this vision was eclipsed for a time by the rise of air travel and trucking, railroads have enjoyed a rebirth in recent years as profitable freight carriers. A fascinating account of the rise, decline, and rebirth of railroads in the United States, John F. Stover's American Railroads traces their history from the first lines that helped eastern seaports capture western markets to today's newly revitalized industry. Stover describes the growth of the railroads' monopoly, with the consequent need for state and federal regulations; relates the vital part played by the railroads during the Civil War and the two World Wars; and charts the railroads' decline due to the advent of air travel and trucking during the 1950s. In two new chapters, Stover recounts the remarkable recovery of the railroads, along with other pivotal events of the industry's recent history. During the 1960s declining passenger traffic and excessive federal regulation led to the federally-financed creation of Amtrak to revive passenger service and Conrail to provide freight service on bankrupt northeastern railroads. The real savior for the railroads, though, proved to be the Staggers Rail Act of 1980, which brought prosperity to rail freight carriers by substantially deregulating the industry. By 1995, renewed railroad freight traffic had reached nearly twice its former peak in 1944. Bringing both a seasoned eye and new insights to bear on one of the most American of industries, Stover has produced the definitive history of railroads in the United States.

Wes Craven

The Art of Horror

By: John Kenneth Muir

Filmmaker Wes Craven has consistently and imaginatively scared movie audiences since the early 1970s. His films encompass a variety of styles, elements and themes, from the nihilistic existentialism of The Last House on the Left to the successful A Nightmare on Elm Street (which sent horror in a bold new direction), to the hallucinatory dreamscapes of The Serpent and the Rainbow. And in the nineties, Craven returned with the Scream films, which were simultaneously funny, clever and scary films that overturned the horror cliches of the eighties. The present work provides a history of Craven's film career since 1972, examining all the themes and techniques the filmmaker explored. For each film, a synopsis, cast and credits, historical context, and critical commentary are provided. Also covered in detail are Craven's forays into television, including movies such as Stranger in the House and work on such series as The New Twilight Zone.
