"His greatest enemy ? intolerance!" The Superman radio show in 1946

Michael Goodrum

Truth, justice and the American way: words we have come to understand as Superman's motivation. What do these words actually mean, though? Certainly, following 1954 and the Senate Subcommittee Hearings on Juvenile Delinquency that effectively emasculated comic book superheroes, Truth, justice and the American way have represented a bland Superman who toes the government line, the ultimate goody two-shoes. The situation in the build up to the 1950s was, however, very different. In 1946, Superman embarked on a number of radio adventures that took a socially progressive direction, with Superman discarding "his conventional excursions in escapism… [in order to] combat the more mundane evils of racial and religious intolerance, adolescent gangsterism and other related problems of the juvenile" (Gould 1946: 7). Such a direction was not without precedent. Bradford Wright, author of Comic Book Nation, suggests that Superman, amongst other comic book superheroes, can be seen as a "super New Dealer," criticising failures in institutions and stressing "a common interest between public welfare and a strong federal government" (Wright 2003: 24). For instance, in the comic-book Superman #1, Superman forces a mine owner to improve working conditions, whilst in Superman #2 he intervenes in negotiations to force through a peace treaty in a fictional South American republic. However, the radio serial concretised issues previously dealt with in a more abstract way by the comic-books, with the serial able to take such a different approach because the comic-books and radio serial were separate entities. Whilst both were presided over by DC, the publishing company that owned Superman's copyright, each had a separate writing team and their stories developed independently of one another.

This paper will consider the ways in which the radio serial, the Adventures of Superman, promoted socially progressive ideas through four narratives produced in 1946, moving beyond the fantastic escapism that had previously characterised the series. In doing so, I argue that the producers of the series not only positioned themselves as constitutive participants in contemporary discourses on pressing topics such as tolerance and juvenile delinquency, but that they also began to offer different models of heroism as solutions to these problems. Redistributing the heroism in a superhero radio serial in this way is an unexpected development, and one that has profound implications for both the structure of narratives and their resolution. As such, it will be necessary to conduct an analysis of heroism, something that shall be undertaken using Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the rhizome. A complex concept, rhizome can briefly be described as "multiplicities… [that have ceased to] have any relation to the One as subject or object" (Deleuze and Guattari 2003: 8). Before we begin on this, however, it is essential to first know a little more about the Adventures of Superman.

On the radio, Superman was far more grounded in pressing contemporary concerns, as demonstrated by the story arcs this paper will focus on, featuring Superman battling, in turn, the 'Guardians of America', a group fomenting racial hatred to prevent the building of an inter-faith recreational facility in Metropolis; a racketeer promoting juvenile delinquency in league with a corrupt mayoral candidate threatening to block a slum clearance and regeneration program; an organisation closely resembling the Ku Klux Klan, trying to force a Chinese-American family out of Metropolis; and Big George Latimer, a crooked political boss using racial and religious intolerance to keep war veterans out of state jobs that they had been promised. In 1946, with the Ku Klux Klan capitalising on the social upheavals of the war, the problematic reintegration of veterans into civilian life a pressing concern and juvenile delinquency one of the most discussed topics in the US, Superman's producers were clearly immersing the character in the social concerns of the time.

Superman reached a radio audience of millions; in 1946, the Adventures of Superman aired five times a week nationwide on the Mutual network and regularly attracted the highest juvenile audience of any show, according to contemporary Hooper ratings. (Superman Super Site 2008). It was also sponsored by one of the biggest names in cereals, Kellogg's, ensuring that the character of Superman was used in large advertising campaigns, further raising his profile. Having also appeared in a run of lavish animated features produced by the Fleischer studio for Warner Brothers running from 1941 to 1943, and with the comic books still selling well, Superman was one of the most popular fictions in the USA. Taking a gamble on potentially controversial story lines was therefore a serious risk for the producers of the radio show. Had this backfired, they could have alienated their audience and lost their sponsorship. It is necessary to consider why they would ever have taken such a risk: the first of these stories, "The Hate Monger's Organisation", seems to be in keeping with the tradition established by the comic books and other popular culture. The story is slightly abstract and the villain is a former Nazi spy, seducing people to his point of view by telling them that foreigners are trying to take over the country. However, the adulatory response it received in the press from respected radio critics such as Jack Gould of the New York Times and Harriet van Horne of the New York World-Telegram,may have inspired the writers to take the initial idea further, with the subsequent story arc also being about juvenile delinquency (Widner 2006). In "Al Vincent's Corrupt Political Machine", however, the delinquents are transposed into a different setting. Al Vincent is a pawnbroker at the head of a ring of juvenile delinquents, capitalising on the poverty in the slums of Metropolis through a connection to a shady mayoral candidate planning to block a program of slum regeneration in order to allow this continuing exploitation. Whilst these first two story lines are admirable, they still have an element of the fantastic about them, something underwritten by the prominent role of Superman in these stories. All this was to change with the other two stories under consideration, "The Clan of the Fiery Cross" and "Big George Latimer, Crooked Political Boss".

The high profile given to "The Hate Monger's Organisation" by critics caught the attention of activist, author and journalist, Stetson Kennedy. In 1946, Kennedy went undercover in the Ku Klux Klan in order to gather enough information on their practices to force the government to take action against them. As discussed in Kennedy's I Rode With the Ku Klux Klan, one method of getting information in to the public realm that Kennedy utilised was the Adventures of Superman radio show, something that appeared juvenile and yet was currently being lauded in the press for its stance on intolerance. In offering information to the writers of the show, information that was gladly accepted, Kennedy managed to both ensure its distribution and also the widespread ridicule of the Ku Klux Klan. Here they were, this supposedly terrifying organisation, being soundly thrashed on the airwaves for the entertainment of the juvenile audience, with all their secret passwords, language, and rituals being revealed. As reported by Kennedy, even Klansmen's children turned against the Klan, with one Klansmen reported as saying:

When I came home from work the other night, there was my kid and a bunch of others, some with towels tied around their necks like capes and some with pillow cases over their heads. The ones with capes was chasing the ones with pillow cases all over the lot. When I asked them what they were doing, they said they was playing a new kind of Cops and Robbers called 'Superman against the Klan'… I never felt so ridiculous in all my life! (Kennedy 1954: 92-3).

Whilst caution must be exercised here as this is speech reported by an author hoping to make a point, it is still illustrative of what the Adventures of Superman was trying to achieve. By making the Klan appear ridiculous, "the millions of kids who had listened to Superman were not likely to grow up to be Klansmen," not only because they might have assimilated the moral instruction inherent in the story, but also due to the fact that they would remember the Klan as something ridiculous (Kennedy 1954: 93).

Taking a brief break from these social concerns to return to the kind of stories one would expect of Superman, the Adventures of Superman made a strong comeback in September 1946 with "Big George Latimer, Crooked Political Boss". This story concerns the eponymous villain, the power behind Governor Wheeler of Metropolis. Latimer forces Wheeler to use discriminatory practices when hiring veterans for state jobs, ordering him to rule out anyone who is not "a native-born, white, Protestant," in order to accommodate Latimer's henchmen (1946). In recognition of the ways this story line connected with contemporary concerns over the reintegration of veterans to civilian life, it was officially commended by the American Veterans Committee, live on air, on September 17, 1946. The fact that a serious veterans group was prepared to align itself with a show aimed at the juvenile market speaks volumes about how far the Adventures of Superman had come from the escapism that characterised its beginnings and the role it was seen as playing in contemporary culture by 1946. The more concrete link between actual events and these latter stories is underwritten by Superman appearing less frequently. Instead of being the driving force behind the story, the character of Superman acts more as a deus ex machina, brought in to save characters at the last minute. In fact, Superman is far from the main hero in either "The Clan of the Fiery Cross" or "Big George Latimer, Crooked Political Boss". Whilst Superman's absence can be attributed to attempts to titillate the audience, it certainly allows other characters to play a more heroic role than they had previously.

The question of which character can be considered the primary hero is important. Superheroic moral instruction, I argue, usually takes the form of an invitation to emulate the superhero, something that raises a number of problems. For instance, no matter how keen audiences for superhero narratives may be, they will simply be unable to reproduce the majority of the hero's actions. Instead, they are invited to attempt to assimilate the moral code of the superhero in to their own lives. It also means that the superhero has to be the constant centre of attention, with all events being mediated through him in order to pass moral judgement. However, there remains the question of what values superheroes were defending in the first place and whether they were shared by the audience. This is of such importance because of the different strategies the audience could be employing when listening to the Adventures of Superman; for example, instead of engaging with the themes of tolerance in the story about the "Guardians of America", listeners could tune in just for Superman's fantastic exploits and the promise of a violent confrontation to resolve the story.

Regardless of these misgivings, Reynolds asserts "in the stories of the Golden Age, Silver Age and after, the superheroes enjoyed the backing of a social consensus – even if its terms and ideology were left undefined" (Reynolds 1992: 105). Superheroes generally do not set out their beliefs for their audience – unless they are very hazy about it, like Superman's Truth, justice and the American way. Whilst this lack of definition is essential in appealing to a broad audience, it makes the specific stance on certain issues of the Adventures of Superman surprising, given that it could alienate members of the audience who do not share those ideas. Following on from this, in a society with an increasing multiplicity of values, there remains the question of whether a hegemonic reading of superhero narratives can be sustained. It is apparent from the clinical research of Dr. Fredric Wertham, a psychiatrist and comic book theorist of the 1940s and 1950s, that during this 'Golden Age' of consensus, certain members of the audience were practicing 'bricolage,' manufacturing their own meanings inside the apparently hegemonic narratives being offered to them, such as the widely publicised argument that Batman and Robin represent "a wish dream of two homosexuals living together" (Wertham 1955: 191 and Brooker 2005: 101-117). As such, it is impossible to say what members of the audience may have made of the values of the hero, or how their heroic adventures may have been construed.

One way of attempting to guarantee consensus is for the hero to fight someone acknowledged as an enemy by the vast majority of the population. The stories in question do this by repeatedly creating links between the villains and the Nazis, either through positioning them as former Nazis or by having them express sympathy for some aspect of Nazi ideology. These narratives also begin to portray other characters in heroic roles, offering more practical models of heroism to the audience than the slightly problematic superhero. The first of the stories to be studied, "The Hate Monger's Organisation", gives the illusion that Jim Olsen, the Daily Planet's cub reporter, is the hero, as he goes undercover in the hate organisation, the 'Guardians of America,' to gather information. However, he is discovered and becomes their victim, meaning that Olsen is just a narrative catalyst to bring Superman into the story and ensure that the villains, including Franz Hiller, a former Nazi spy, are brought to justice. Whilst Olsen's actions are undoubtedly heroic, they are only undertaken because of assurances that Superman will protect him; it is also the case that, ultimately, Olsen fails, and his cover is only maintained for the amount of time it is due to Superman's repeated assistance. Furthermore, it remains difficult for the audience to emulate Olsen's actions as they are dependent on entering the criminal underworld. As a result, this story firmly establishes Superman as the sole hero and his ideals as those worthy of emulation. This reading is reinforced through the character of Olsen, who effectively offers a point of connection for the audience. Along side this, Olsen demonstrates the assimilation of Superman's morality into his own character through his actions in the story, something that establishes Olsen as a role model for the audience – an ordinary boy capable of living up to Superman's high moral standards.

Some of these elements recur in "Al Vincent's Corrupt Political Machine", where the heroism of Jim Olsen, Lois Lane and other supporting characters is ultimately proved to be ineffective. Tony Sloane, a reporter for the Daily Planet, manages to obtain letters that incriminate Martin Higgins, a corrupt mayoral candidate. Despite being attacked and almost killed by Higgins' thugs, Sloane gets the letters to the Daily Planet, only for Mary, a juvenile delinquent, to steal them before they can be printed. Mary is revealed to be working for Al Vincent, a corrupt pawnbroker who organises a juvenile gang for Higgins. As the narrative unfolds, both Jim and Lois are outwitted by Mary, with Lois also being defeated by Mary in a fight. Jim is then beaten by Al's thugs as he tries to help Lois, and despite a suddenly reformed Mary's attempts to help Lois and Jim escape from the thugs' hideout, the three of them prove insufficient to stop Al Vincent and his gang. Again, it is only Superman who is capable of successful heroism as he saves Mary, Jim and Lois before bringing Vincent and Higgins to justice. As a result, these stories are not overly positive about the ability of 'normal' heroism to achieve its aims, though in a programme dedicated to a superhero this is hardly surprising. Whilst these supporting characters are useful for relaying the overarching messages on tolerance and the evils of juvenile delinquency, they are still positioned in a hierarchy of heroism with Superman firmly at its head and other contenders somewhere far beneath him.

This hierarchy begins to be challenged by "The Clan of the Fiery Cross". Chuck Riggs is upset at being replaced by Tommy Lee, a Chinese-American, as pitcher on the Unity House baseball team. When Tommy accidentally hits Chuck with a pitch in training, Matt Riggs, Chuck's uncle, who turns out to be the leader of the Clan of the Fiery Cross, tells Chuck that Tommy was trying to kill him, which Chuck eventually accepts despite his misgivings. Matt Riggs then takes Chuck to 'give evidence' at a meeting of the Clan of the Fiery Cross in order to whip the members into a frenzy of action. This results in Tommy Lee being kidnapped and breaking his arm whilst escaping; whilst in itself this is heroic, Superman has to save Tommy from drowning after he attempts to swim to safety. However, Superman's rescue is only made possible because Chuck has by now seen the error of his ways and anonymously told Clark Kent of the plans that the Clan have for Tommy. Following this, the Daily Planet starts a campaign against the Clan, something they continue despite threats of violent reprisals from the Clan. However, the Planet's campaign, and offer of a cash reward for information on the Clan, results in the kidnapping of Perry White, editor of the Planet, and Jim Olsen. Despite the imminent threat of violence, White converts this in to a further opportunity to demonstrate his heroism by denouncing the Clan whilst being able to see the physical punishment they are preparing for him. It is here that Chuck Riggs returns to prominence as, regardless of threats of vengeance from his uncle, Chuck agrees to help Clark Kent and Superman (whilst the listener knows they are the same person, the character does not) bring down the Clan and save White and Olsen, which they inevitably do. There are points in this narrative that are suggestive of a kind of collective heroism, a willingness to take risks for the benefit of others, that has previously been absent from the Adventures of Superman. As the show continues to pursue this democratisation of heroism, Superman's position as unchallenged hero is further problematised.

Moving on to "Big George Latimer, Crooked Political Boss", this story is essentially about Latimer's attempts to manipulate Governor Wheeler of Metropolis into using discriminatory practices in hiring war veterans for state jobs. Whilst the veterans have been promised these jobs, Latimer needs them for the henchmen in his political machine. The story expands on the democratisation of heroism in the previous story by building up the heroism of the veterans themselves, in particular Joe Martin and Sam Robins. Evidence of this can be found in that it begins with a stirring speech from Joe Martin, spokesman for a large group of veterans that cannot get jobs because of Governor Wheeler's policies. As they march on the gubernatorial mansion to press their claims, shots are fired and Joe is seriously wounded. Latimer accuses Sam Robins, Joe's best friend, of shooting Joe to make the governor look bad, and Sam is arrested. Sam has been framed by Latimer as he is Jewish, meaning that he can be labelled as a foreigner "trying to undermine America" (1946). Latimer exploits a connection to the tabloid Metropolis Clarion to ensure that Sam Robins is tried and convicted by the media before he can reach trial, even getting 'Lippy' Williams, their leading journalist, to plant the gun Latimer used to shoot Joe in Sam's house. Incensed by the articles being printed about Sam, the remaining veterans march on the police station to demand that Sam be freed, leading Latimer to move Sam to another jail upstate 'for his own protection.' Instead, it is a set up by Latimer to get Sam lynched, something that almost succeeds until one of the lynch mob undergoes a sudden heroic reversal and prevents the mob from killing Sam. The mob then pursue both Sam and his rescuer, intent on killing them. The mob is prevented from achieving this by the arrival of Superman, who then proceeds to round up the mob and hand it over to the police. Meanwhile, Wheeler has decided to stand up to Latimer, resulting in Latimer attacking Wheeler and trying to frame another group of veterans for the assault. However, Wheeler is not as badly injured as Latimer suspects and he hatches a plan with Clark Kent to bring Latimer to justice, a plan that is successful.

The difficulty in summarising these stories as succinctly as the earlier two is due to the fact that Superman is no longer the force holding them together. In fact, Superman barely appears in either of these stories, with his heroic mantle being picked up by supporting characters such as Chuck Riggs and Sam Robins, amongst others. The idea of a more collective heroism is developed, with groups of people all contributing towards the final heroic result; in short, heroism is being democratised. As other heroes emerge, the story becomes multi polar, with various complementary centres of heroism that, admittedly, still feed in to the overarching heroism of Superman. However, as more heroes emerge, there have to be more subplots to contain them, meaning that not only the mantle of heroism but also of narrative centre are shifted away from Superman to supporting characters.

Whilst all four of these stories have common themes, the distribution of the heroism in the latter two makes them far more interesting, as well as more successful in putting across their messages. There is a strong reason as to why this should be the case. "The Hate Monger's Organisation" follows a similar pattern to the formula set out in the Office of War Information Manual for the Motion Picture Industry – in fact the opening paragraph of fact sheet number five could have appeared in the show itself:

It is part of the strategy of the Axis to confuse us … to divide us internally … to set one group against another … to foster the persecution of minorities by the majority (Office of War Information 1942).

Given the prominent role of Hiller, a former Nazi spy with a name remarkably similar to Hitler, and other characters described as looking and sounding 'Germanic,' it becomes apparent that this narrative is invested in wartime ideas. This is not surprising, given that it is extremely likely that the writers of the show would have come in to contact with either this fact sheet or something similar to it. As such, it is my belief that this story enjoys a significant degree of continuity with that which had gone before it, and that the warm reviews in the press led to the next story arc, "Al Vincent's Corrupt Political Machine". The continuity of villains eager to use racism to achieve their goals would ensure that the progressive messages being relayed by the serial stood a greater chance of being received, particularly when they are framed as baldly as in "The Clan of the Fiery Cross", where Chuck's mother exclaims, "that Clan's no better than the Nazis!" (1946). The writers are therefore harnessing the Nazis to other social conflicts, damning the Ku Klux Klan and other villains by association.

Without the "national recognition for going after real villains, including hate-mongers," Stetson Kennedy would not have hit on the idea of giving his information to the writers of the Adventures of Superman (Kennedy 1954: 92). The use of such juvenile fare was a masterstroke because, as Dubner and Levitt argue, "turning the Klan's secrecy against itself, converting precious knowledge into ammunition for mockery," was the most effective way of undermining the Klan, a point reinforced through the storyline itself (Levitt & Dubner 2006: 65). Possibly inspired by the example of Kennedy, the writers shattered the single centre of heroism, creating multiple heroic poles far removed from the virtually invulnerable Superman. In constantly asserting that the Klan is a threat to all Americans, "who don't part their hair the way the Clan like," "The Clan of the Fiery Cross" is making the case that everyone has a duty to fight against intolerance, to demonstrate the kind of heroism on display in the story (1946). Effectively, the writers are moving away from the hierarchy of heroism that one would expect in a Superman story to a multiplicity of heroisms. Whilst these are interconnected, they are not rhizomatic, as Deleuze and Guattari would label it, as the various forms of heroism maintain, "a unity to serve as a pivot in the object" (Deleuze & Guattari 2003: 8). For them to be rhizomatic there would have to be true plurality, with multiple non-hierarchical forms of heroism. Rhizomatic heroism would be superior, for Deleuze and Guattari, at least, because it would allow a multiplicity of heroisms to coexist as equals, devoid of any insistent hierarchy that ordered heroism according to binary principles. These narratives are unable to provide such a development, as Superman continues to serve as a constant point of unity, even in the latter stories where he is the only character capable of making the final, dramatic rescue.

In spite of the continued unifying presence of Superman, the creation of multiple centres of heroism serves to make these narratives seem more realistic, and to make emulation more plausible. For those members of the audience who felt unable to emulate Superman, unsure about how to put his morality into practice due to the fact his superpowers that guarantee his triumph are just a fantasy they are unable to emulate, these narratives offer up other models of heroism. In so doing, the Adventures of Superman, "became a programme with a message," with that message being a commitment to the promulgation of New Deal policies; in short, a progressive, reform agenda (Van Horne in Widner 2006). Jack Gould, radio critic for the New York Times at the time of broadcast, makes a relevant point in connection to this when he argues that, "if Superman holds an iota of the influence attributed to him by his critics, then his adoption of a new way of life must be seen as an encouraging augury transcending radio itself" (Gould 1946: 8). Whilst this is intended as something of a rebuttal of the doctrine that radio had a negative effect on children, it retains a degree of worth for this argument. The adventure serial, including the Adventures of Superman, came under criticism as it was deemed to be "full of violence, suspenseful, and over stimulating," something that many critics saw as detrimental to the development of children (Frank 1952: 14). Jack Gould is therefore turning that argument back on itself, arguing that radio can also promote positive messages. Gould's argument also confirms that contemporaries of the show saw it as a method of conveying ideas to its audience.

Further support for this can be found in a quotation from an unnamed executive for the Mutual Broadcasting Network, home of the Adventures of Superman, who told the New Republic in 1947 that "this tolerance theme is good business. The psychologists tell us we're planting a 'thought egg' into the kids' minds. It won't have much effect now, but it will when they become adolescent," something that indicates strong support for the Adventures of Superman as a vehicle for social change, even if not an immediate one (Von Busack 1998). Stetson Kennedy reiterates this when reflecting on the impact of the Adventures of Superman:

From inside and outside the Klan I could see that a real victory had been won. Never again would the hooded hoodlums be able to face the American public with their old air of self-importance. Equally important, I knew that the millions of kids who had listened to Superman were not likely to grow up to be Klansmen (1954: 94).

Whilst it is understandable that Stetson Kennedy should argue this, given his role in helping to create the anti-Klan storyline, it is of far greater importance that the 'unnamed executive' also supported, "the tolerance angle", as those connected to the programme called it (Von Busack 1998).

From this, it can be inferred that the producers of the show had similar intentions to Kennedy for all the narratives they produced that promoted ideas of tolerance, particularly as the executive was interviewed in 1947, a year after these programmes began to be produced. The failure of Klan attempts to force Kellogg's cereals, the sponsor of the Adventures of Superman, off shop shelves in Atlanta, the headquarters of the rejuvenated Klan, indicates that they were a significantly weaker force than in Spring 1946, when, "advertisements in Atlanta papers announced a big formal celebration of the Klan's revival… [to be] held on [Stone] Mountain, and nearly a thousand spectators turned out for the show" (Wade 1987: 288-9). However, any weakening of the Klan cannot be solely attributed to the Adventures of Superman, just as these stories do not indicate a sudden decline in intolerance in US society. It is also possible that this exposure of the Klan could have forced it to modernise, meaning that it only appeared to be weakened and was, in fact, simply changing in character. Despite any misgivings of this nature, these stories gesture towards a growing awareness of the propagandising potential of popular culture and an attempt to harness it to socially progressive ideas. These attempts are supported by the increasing democratisation of heroism that occurs, culminating in Superman barely appearing in the "Big George Latimer" story arc.

There is a further dimension to this democratisation of heroism that should be considered. Even before 1946, threats were often universalised in superhero narratives. However, the response was always solely from the superhero, meaning that the larger threat was simply being used to build up the hero, to make them appear more heroic purely because they saved a larger number of people. What makes these radio serials of such interest are their attempts to universalise the threat and offer a democratised heroic response to a problem in contemporary society. This approach is summed up by Charles G. Bolte, chairman of the American Veterans Committee, in that group's official commendation of the Adventures of Superman during the "Big George Latimer" story arc on the 17th of September, 1946, informing the audience that "there's another kind of war going on – a war in which you can help us this time." Whilst excluded from active participation in the previous war, the juvenile audience is offered a frontline place in the war against intolerance. As if this were not enough, the announcer mentions "the millions of American boys and girls in our audience who put into their daily lives the principles we broadcast" when accepting Mr. Bolte's commendation, reaffirming that the producers of the show were aware of its role in helping to shape values and were positively encouraging the audience to internalise their positive messages about tolerance.

In short, the Adventures of Superman began to deploy multiple centres of heroism in order to relay its socially progressive ideas more effectively. Whilst the success rate of any endeavour such as this is difficult to measure, the fact that the 'unnamed executive' continued to regard the tolerance angle as worth promoting indicates that audiences were certainly not decreasing. Whether those audiences were absorbing the values being promoted, however, is difficult to prove. What can most clearly be ascertained, however, is that the Adventures of Superman deliberately promoted socially progressive ideas and sought to position itself as a constitutive participant in discourses promoting tolerance. As superheroes are being mobilised more conservatively in the war on terror post 9/11, it is worth remembering that they are not always used to further conservative ends. As evidenced by these narratives under consideration here, Superman's Truth, justice and the American way has not always been interpreted as a call to defend the realm and punish wrongdoers. Instead, the Adventures of Superman is more interested in social justice, reform and negotiating a new, inclusive, 'American way' than depicting punishment, a marked difference between the post Second World War and post 9/11 USA.

GTA "Moderates" In Action

Local Muslim rag The Muslim considers the recent murder of a Pakistani politician--a "blasphemer"--to be okey-dokey because way back when Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, "defended the killer of a blasphemer."

Jinnah also liked to smoke cigars, drink alcohol, listen to western music and eat pork.

Muslim and Jewish students join to celebrate art

Muslim and Jewish students join to celebrate art

By Summer Suleiman, CNN

ATLANTA (CNN) - Canvases with bold colors and Arabic letters lined the walls of the rooms. Downstairs, students rapped about Islam and Judaism to their own version of the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” melody, followed by songs performed in Arabic, Hebrew and English. For the first time, Muslim and Jewish students at Emory University collaborated for an interfaith art gala.

The Muslim Student Association has planned galas for the past eight years, but this year, the group decided to take it a step further. It joined with Emory Hillel, the Jewish student organization, to host the gala. The program strives to use art to promote understanding and tolerance.

Asad Abdulla, president of the Muslim Student Association, is a senior at Emory. When he started as a freshman four years ago, he said, there was a clear divide between Muslim and Jewish students, with little interaction on campus. The students have worked hard to change that.

“We want to serve as a model for other schools, to show that this is what other campuses should try to strive for in terms of Muslim-Jewish relations,” Abdulla said.

Their efforts bear tragic relevance. Last month, an attack at a Jewish school in France left four people dead. In California, a Muslim woman was beaten to death in her home and left with a note that read, “Go back to your country.”

The students’ work didn’t come without challenges. Their goal was to illustrate unity on campus, but not everyone believed in their vision.

“A lot of people were skeptical, that maybe people couldn’t handle it or understand it,” Abdulla said. “Knowing that our cultures are different, the way we work is different, a lot of people weren’t sure if we would be able to take the relationship to the next level, but we had to convince them that something of this magnitude needs to happen.”

At the gala, skepticism didn’t slow them down at all. Students who helped plan the event moved around a room with energy and excitement. Alexis Berkow, president of Hillel, lit up when she described what it was like for the students to plan the gala together.

“We had a group of Jewish and Muslim students working together, and I think that was the most amazing experience, spending time with these people that you wouldn’t normally spend time with. You realize you’re exactly the same, you’re all going to college and you have a lot of the same goals, and it makes the other people see that you are the same, too,” Berkow said.

Comedians Dean Obeidallah and Scott Blakeman were invited to perform at the gala. They kept guests laughing and ended their performances by stressing the importance of promoting peace through dialogue.

“When I go to the synagogue and I look in the prayer book, it says seek peace and pursue it, it talks about embracing all, and that’s what to me, not only being Jewish is, but what the state of Israel is supposed to be also. I hope that will happen,” Blakeman said.

For Abdulla, who graduates in May, this is where the work begins.

“Muslims and Jews who are leaders on campus will be leaders in their communities, and when they leave Emory and go out into the world, they are OK working with a Muslim person, or they are OK working with a Jewish person,” Abdulla said.

    I managed one of the Loeman's store for many years and most of my customers were Jewish. I am an American whose religion is Islam. I enjoyed interacting with my Jwish customers and I had so much in common with them. Take the politics out and people can will along on a human level.

    Wat to go MSA.

    One of my favorite things about teaching overseas: My students span a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. In addition, I'm excited to be part of a school with a mission statement that includes the statement "grounded in the Christian faith and respecting the spiritual lives of all."

    A few years ago, my 10-year-old students wanted to celebrate the end of a unit with presentations and food. One of my Christian students piped up: "Mrs. A, it's Ramadan. Ahmed (name has been changed) doesn't eat during the daytime." The class decided that the celebration would not include food, but they would have popcorn when Ramadan ended.

    This year, my class comprises student from Jewish, Christian, Hindi, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, and Agnostic backgrounds. They play together. They debate. They compare and contrast stories of creation. Now, I'd like them to share some art :).

    We're in the midst of a poetry unit. I wonder if they might share poems from their cultural and religious backgrounds...

    At the nudist camp were I go we have moslem women and christian women of many faith. It is hard for me to tell who is a moslem or a christian. I believe that religions are man made. don't you agree? I asked the ladies about their G-Spot and I got different answers. This means that we are of the human race..Have you seen a miricle lately?

    I bet all these Jewish haters of Islam talkbackers here are Ashkenazi (European Jews) who are a breed of their own, and have no relationship with Mizrahi (Arab and Middle Eastern Jews) who like Arab Chrisitans and Moslems are the true descendants of Abraham (and the Canaanites who dwelled the Eastern Mediterranean before the Hebrews left Egypt). Arab Jews thrived and succeeded in Moslem lands, until Ashkenazi zionists and their set-up Jewish Agency who wanted to populate Palestine with only Jews scared them off and succeeded in luring most of them to Israel. Only elder Mizrahi Jews can tell you how happy they were in Arab and Moslem lands. Even ask yourselves why the Jews in Spain chose to leave Spain with the Moslems rather than stay there when the Spaniards liberated their lands after several centuries of Arab presence.

      My wife is the daugher of Iraqi Jews. Her mother grew up in Basra and her father in Bagdad. They persecuted and killed the jews there long before the Jewish agency. I have many older Iraqi relatives. Life was horrible there. None of them have any desire to ever go back.

      Keep deluding yourself, pal. Col Yisrael am echad = all of Israel is one nation. Your bizarre and racist ideas simply don't match DNA testing of Jews from everywhere in the world. Iberian Jews came from North Africa and Rome; they migrated to France, then the Rhine valley, then Poland, Galicia, Romania, and eventually Latvia, the Ukraine, and Russia. it's all the same folks, and they are genetically related to most Arabs, as you say.

      • Córdoba lejana y sola

        I personally had DNA testing done (I'm of Russian Jewish descent) and it traced straight back to the Middle East, which shows that the Ashkenazim do indeed share a common lineage with Sephardim. But then again, don't let facts get in the way of a good baseless assertion.

        April 30, 2012 at 2:41 pm |
    • Córdoba lejana y sola

      Not only did they not choose to leave (Fernando and Isabel issued the Edict of Expulsion kicking them out in 1492) but the Moors were not even forced to leave at the same time that the Jews were (this happened later). But hey, thanks for showing your complete ignorance of history.

    I hope that the Emory students' gesture was "reassuring" to Jews, but unfortunately when Abraham "resettled", or exiled his slave, and then his wife, Hagar, and his own son, Ishmael, into the desert, he quashed any hope of future peace between Jews and Muslims. Wishful thinking. Never happens. Sorry.

    Preach on Laura, you are exactly right only one incident had to do with a hate crime & it wasn't the incident with the woman in California. My parents are ordained Ministers & they preach to this day not to trust Muslims, how shameful! I'm sure glad to see my generation is a much more loving, accepting generation!

    Muslims say their perfect role model is mohammed. Mohammed killed, raped, tortured, lied, enslaved and abused. Says pretty much everything about islam and muslims. There's absolutely no reason to respect islam and it's hateful adherents. Just disgusting.

    • Mike

      Absolutely true. Nothing to add there. The liberals trying to portray islam as just another, peaceful religion is so full of BS. This is spitting in the faces of all the victims of muslim violence – gays, women, apostates, Christians, Jews etc. All abused, oppressed and killed in the name of islam because it says so in the koran and the hadiths. Don't believe any muslim who claims the opposite and read it yourself. Muslims are told to lie to you in order to promote islam. It's called taqia and commanded in the koran. Islam is not a peaceful religion – it is a backward hate cult that needs to be fought wherever you encounter it.

        Hitler was christian. Atomic bombs were used by christian. Vietnam war (started with a lie) killed over 2 million people..was christian army. Iraq war, people still getting killed b/c christian army destroyed the whole country before leaving it to thugs. Afghanistan war still going on, a super christian army invaded the country killing millions. Just read history of last 100 yrs and see for yourself who is killing, slaving and destroying civilizations. Instead of spreading hate, we should promote peace. All the prophets came from one God, why fight?

        frankly mike you sound quite a bit like what you describe, backward and hateful. As a Christian who is not perfect i know that we all are human beings who share that fact, imperfection. Ignorance is something people of all creeds practice. My God tells me to love, though i may not always succeed, i know for a fact this judgmental view point many share here is not what He intends. Christians, Jews, and Muslims all have shed innocent blood. Cast the first stone people, cast the first stone.

      Now read in the Bible what God told Moses' followers to do to the women and children they conquered, and then read what Joshua did to the people who lived in Jericho. Then read about what Christians did to Jews, gypsies and gays during WWII.

      I could not agree more. Muslims will fight for generations for an ideology that belongs to the middle ages.

    Nice to read something positive about Muslim-Jews relations. We have hope in young people from both sides who are not poisoned by hate too much to make steps in a right direction. I am pretty sure that if it’s not certain interest and constantly brainwashing because of it, the problem would be resolved long time ago. Unfortunately, there is a political dividend from fueling scare and mistrust, presenting Muslims only from a negative side, but as long as people will open their mind and heart for truth, we will overcome differences and find a common ground to make the world a better place for all.

    "Their efforts bear tragic relevance. Last month, an attack at a Jewish school in France left four people dead. In California, a Muslim woman was beaten to death in her home and left with a note that read, 'Go back to your country.'"

    I'm sorry, but only one of these things bears relevance to the events described in the article. The Jews in Tolouse were murdered by a Muslim strictly because they were Jewish. It was not a Jew who beat the Muslim woman to death in her home. I condemn in the strongest possible terms that hate crime, but it had absolutely NOTHING to do with Jewish-Islamic relations.

    April 27, 2012 at 2:13 pm |

      It was a hate crime regardless for both incidents. It didn't specify whether or not it muslim on jew or jew on muslim violence.

    Jews enjoyed prosperity in most of islamic countries and through out the history. The similarity between jews and muslims are tremendous. It is the responsibility of the jews and Israel to initiate peace with muslims not planning for more wars.
    Israel paranoia toward arabs and muslim countries is out of proportion and pathologic. It is the duties of powerful jewish organization and civil societies to give hands to arabs and muslims and make the world a better place. You cannot control the arabs countries through dictators and chios but through love and understanding.

    April 27, 2012 at 1:07 pm |
    • Berman

      Yes, of course Ahmad. The Jews bear 100% of the responsibility for everything and the Arabs have always been passive victims unable to help themselves in any situation. The Arabs have never once done anything to the Jews besides love and coddle them. How could you possibly expect the Arabs to take any responsibility whatsoever for anything that has ever happened?

      April 27, 2012 at 2:11 pm |
    • JonfromLI

      That "paranoia" you harken to has merit. As early as the following day after Israel's Independence in 1948, it was being threatened by just about every Arab country you can think of. This continued until Israel finally said they just couldn't take it anymore and sent troops throughout these countries in ,1967. Six Days later the Arab countries surrendered and relinquished more land. It's those borders that were relinquished that has been in dispute all this time. Hardly anyone would acknowledge the fact that, if Israel was left alone in the years BEFORE 1967, this land would still have been under Arab rule.

By Ricardo Sávio Teixeira Moretz Sohn, Instituto Nacional de Metrologia, Qualidade e Tecnologia (Inmetro)

Research activities developed in the field of metrology naturally involve the measurement and assessment of the uncertainty budget of several quantities. In order to increase the confidence in the measurement results, it is important that each measurement can be performed repeatedly, generating indeed a matrix of data. Thus, computer programs designed to deal easily with matrices are extremely convenient in this area.

To produce and manage arrays of measurement data, some software groups are available: spreadsheets, numerical computing software, data acquisition systems and software for interfacing equipment. Spreadsheets, such as Excel for example, tend to meet the users’ needs very well when the amount of data is not very high, there is no need for more complex graphical user interfaces and most of the calculations can be performed by means of simple mathematical functions. However, when this is not the case, programs like LabVIEW and MATLAB are often more appropriate.

The programs mentioned above, in spite of their recognized quality, are all closed source, expensive and generally have limited licenses in terms of time and number of installations. Furthermore, they tend to be more hardware resource consuming. Scilab is, in turn, an extremely effective, low cost (free download) and lighter (regarding to hardware resources) alternative, that can be used to replace all or part of proprietary software.

In the Radiation Thermometry Laboratory of the Brazilian National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology – Inmetro, Scilab has been used for the development of calculation and data acquisition systems, most of them using graphical user interface – GUI, aiming more user-friendly environments and minimization of errors by typing command lines. The applications have been developed by the laboratory technical staff, with little previous experience in Scilab programming, since the learning curve of this software is quite satisfactory.

In this work, we intend to demonstrate the use of Scilab at Inmetro Radiation Thermometry Laboratory, presenting its main features used in the development of the graphical interfaces, data acquisition and calculation codes. Some of the results obtained will be reported and illustrations of GUIs will be presented, as well as it will be demonstrated how Scilab can become very effective when interacting with other programs.

Ian Millhiser, & Charlie Pierce Are In With Steph & The Mooks This Morning On The Stephanie Miller Show!

Charlie Pierce of Esquire’s Politics Blog calls in at 7:30am to talk about the end of Ron Paul’s campaign, and about Romney’s speech to the evangelicals

Ian Millhiser, Policy Analyst for The Center for American Progress Action Fund, calls in at 8:30am to talk about Romney’s lack of an immigration plan

According to a new CBS News / NY Times poll, 46 percent of registered voters say they would vote for Romney, while 43 percent say they would opt for Mr. Obama. Romney’s slight advantage remains within the poll’s margin of error, which is plus or minus four percentage points.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon owned up to stock analysts and went on TV to accept blame for a $2 billion trading mistake. Today he faces shareholders, who are considerably less wealthy since the blunder was disclosed.

Speaking to Barnard University’s graduating class yesterday, President Obama challenged the young women to persevere in the fight for equality through leadership, touting a pro-woman message and emphasizing his hopes that today’s young women “will help lead the way” for change in America.

Ron Paul said on Monday he will no longer be actively campaigning in the GOP presidential primaries but won’t formally suspend his campaign. Instead, the libertarian candidate’s organization will continue to accumulate delegates to send to the Republican National Convention.

Early Day Miners paid a visit to the Daytrotter studios in the fall of 2007, and laid down 4 new songs. The songs and accompanying interview are now posted on Daytrotter.com. Frontman Dan Burton has this to say about the experience:

“Our Daytrotter Session happened at an opportune time for the band. EDM was in the midst of recording a new album (which we’re currently putting the finishing touches on) and after some discussion, we chose to perform all unreleased, new songs. I think it was a good choice, a snapshot of a band smack dab in the middle of writing, arranging and making constant changes to the music. Some of the songs recorded here have already evolved and changed and gone on to become something else entirely. Upon listening back, I think it’s really exciting to hear where we were just a few months ago. The recordings exude a band which is giddy and excited about new pedals, keyboards and fresh sounds.”
