C.B.S. The Chucklehead Broadcasting System

Celebrating 44 Years of Glorified Insignificance

By: Louis A. Coppola

Here’s the scoop, pilgrim. Broadcast gossip from the other side of the window. C.B.S is a fictional insider’s look at broadcasting through the eyes of a maverick radio technician who has worked with the top media honchos from the ‘50’s to the ‘90’s. An ersatz story from an airhead who developed into an astute observer of people’s characteristics and the demise of the Fourth Estate, Louis A. Coppola seasons his journal with humor and street philosophy: "News is nothin’ but the glorification of insignificance." In this fictional autobiographical journey readers are transported from Hawaii to Hollywood to Disneyland, then on to the Big Apple and Big City broadcast journalism- a symphony of off-key characters full of diminuendos and crescendos. There’s Uncle Woolly Crankcase, Sue Clueless, Wally Aces, news editor "Roundy"Turkel, Chink and Cholly, technicians Jalanzo, the Commander, and the stentorian announcer Devious Septum.

The Beauty of Holiness

Anglicanism and Architecture in Colonial South Carolina

By: Louis P. Nelson

Intermingling architectural, cultural, and religious history, Louis Nelson reads Anglican architecture and decorative arts as documents of eighteenth-century religious practice and belief. In The Beauty of Holiness, he tells the story of the Church of England in colonial South Carolina, revealing how the colony's Anglicans negotiated the tensions between the persistence of seventeenth-century religious practice and the rising tide of Enlightenment thought and sentimentality. Nelson begins with a careful examination of the buildings, grave markers, and communion silver fashioned and used by early Anglicans. Turning to the religious functions of local churches, he uses these objects and artifacts to explore Anglican belief and practice in South Carolina. Chapters focus on the role of the senses in religious understanding, the practice of the sacraments, and the place of beauty, regularity, and order in eighteenth-century Anglicanism. The final section of the book considers the ways church architecture and material culture reinforced social and political hierarchies. Richly illustrated with more than 250 architectural images and photographs of religious objects, The Beauty of Holiness depends on exhaustive fieldwork to track changes in historical architecture. Nelson imaginatively reconstructs the history of the Church of England in colonial South Carolina and its role in public life, from its early years of ambivalent standing within the colony through the second wave of Anglicanism beginning in the early 1750s.

Shake Heaven & Earth

Peter Bergson and the Struggle to Rescue the Jews of Europe

By: Louis Rapoport

Focuses on the activities of Hillel Kook, a Palestinian Jew who spent World War II in the USA, under the adopted name of Peter Bergson, trying to convince the USA and Britain that saving Jewish lives should be a war aim. After failing to persuade the Allies to establish a Jewish army, in 1943 Bergson founded the Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe, which used high visibility tactics like newspaper ads and lobbying to attempt to arouse the reluctant U.S. government to action. The Bergson Group was fiercely opposed by assimilated American Jews who feared antisemitism, including the American Zionist establishment led by Rabbi Stephen Wise. Another antagonist was Jewish congressman Sol Bloom, whose position was close to that of the State Department, which opposed allowing Jewish refugees into the U.S. Reveals how the Emergency Committee used political pressure to get President Roosevelt to establish the War Refugee Board, which is credited for saving between 50,000-200,000 Jewish lives. Argues that many more could have been saved if the Jewish establishment had been less concerned with attacking Bergson and less preoccupied with exclusively Zionist goals.
