Could two bodies interpenetrate and interdepend to constitute a perfect morphological and physiological unit? Could the cycle of gaseous exchange between our bodies sustain regular respiratory function with the assistance of a closed circuit biotech intervention? Could we achieve a state and condition of endo-symbiosis that is self-sustaining? Could our respiration be eternal?
Performing within a Mobius Loop of Respiration
Sarah Jane Pell, Martyn Coutts
Hosted by SpareParts Puppet Theatre, Fremantle & King Street Arts Centre, Perth.
This performance research project comes from the desire to explore a bi/tri-way web of interdependence between technologies, bodies and energy beams to see if it is possible to depend upon each other mutually as part of a closed circuit life support system. Could two bodies interpenetrate and interdepend to constitute a perfect morphological and physiological unit? Could the cycle of gaseous exchange between our bodies sustain regular respiratory function with the assistance of a closed circuit biotech intervention? Could we achieve a state and condition of endo-symbiosis that is self-sustaining? Could our respiration be eternal? Moreover, can this transmission of energies affect the space and the audience?
The performance of sharing of air is an act/action/activism no matter how you look at it. It is a voluntary and involuntary function that taunts life and death with each cyclic inhalation and exhalation. The body-politic of the breath is a really interesting departure in/of/as performance. It is neither a personal, private nor entirely public intercourse. Respiration and gas exchange - particularly within the body - is a tremendously intimate and essential performance that occupies most of our existence and traverses many jurisdictions. Imagine the amplification of this in extreme, confined environments.
United biological function via a prototype two-person re-breather system. All inhalation and exhalation was concentrated within the design of the system. We configured the apparatus so that the inhalation of one person is expired and converted to become the source of inhalation for the other and so on in a loop of respiration. In essence, the external re-breather effectively performs the inverse function of a normal biological lung. The duo-re-breather does not function like an iron lung and does not replace the normal biological function of the bodies attached to the system; instead, it allows a closed circuit of interdependent respiration between two people and performs gaseous exchange to connect two perfectly healthy bodies.
The circuit included a long figure-of-eight piping system between the mouthpieces. It also has a filter of lime carbonate (called a scrubber) that converts the expired carbon dioxide into oxygen by absorbing the carbon into its chalky crystals. The configuration also had a bellow of standby oxygen and a direct source of 100% oxygen. We could purge the demand valve on the 100% oxygen source to flush through the system at any time. We wore the device with the aid of two harnesses, but for the most part, our clenched jaws secured it to our bodies.
The two-litre scrubber contained approx twelve hours of effective lime carbonate. When saturated the crystals turn bright purple, so we included a view port in the canister design to observe this. The 65lt cylinder of industrial grade[i] compressed O2 contained approximately 4 hours of air between two people on land. Given we were purging for 10- 30 sec intervals every 3-5 minutes, it would last much longer.
Designing the interface
I based the principals of the duo-re-breather on the design of the mono oxygen re-breather. Dr. Hans Hass (famous for underwater adventure films with Lotte Baier) was the first to use these principals. He sent requirements for a breathing apparatus to the diving equipment company Dräger. In 1942, they provided him with a modified oxygen re-breather that supplied pure oxygen from a cylinder to the bladder inside a life vest, from which the diver breathed along a looped hose. Caustic soda (created when lime carbonate gets wet) 'scrubbed out' the carbon dioxide from the exhalation and allowed the diver to draw the remaining oxygen back from the system and maintain a closed circuit underwater breathing pattern. Hass was the first to use self-contained breathing apparatus or SCUBA for either sport or research well before Gagnan and Cousteau came up with an aqualung. I preferred re-breather technologies to aqualung principals because the system does not release bubbles into the atmosphere and therefore remains a truly self-contained breathing configuration.
During prototype testing Coutts and I quickly learnt that it was important that our respiratory function was out-of-time with each other so that as one exhaled, the other inhaled to avoid both drawing down the air supply at the one time. Our bellow had a 10lt capacity and we generally drew down a maximum of 8-9lt when we both inhaled at the same time. My lung capacity was much smaller than Coutts and therefore I was on the second-stage of the re-breather receiving less direct flow. While Coutts had the dominant lung capacity, he had not used self-contained breathing apparatus before and we positioned his mouthpiece at the first stage near the 100% Oxygen source and the bellow. This meant that I occasionally I would have to wait a few seconds for the suction rate to lower in order to draw air. My mouthpiece was only 40cm from the scrubber and, as we had only used cotton wool as a filter. I occasionally inhaled gritty lime carbonate as well! In addition to this, there was a lot of 'dead air space' between the long lengths of hose and I imagine we inhaled a degree of not-so-fresh air that was stagnating in the piping. To address this health and safety issue, Coutts would manually press the demand valve on his back to regulate free flow and purge the system with 100% oxygen when the respiratory rate became tired. I employed a commercial diving hand signal to "make it hot" meaning to turn it on or activate the mechanism when I too felt that the system was sluggish.
Conditions for the Performer
Adapted from Lars La Trier's vows of the 1995 DOGMA Manifesto:
We forbid temporal and geographic alienation;
The closed circuit performance must not contain superficial action;
The sonic architecture must be live and produced from the present body, space, audience, etc.;
The duty of care is reciprocal between bodies;
The integrity of 'liveness' is maintained during the performative score despite all outcomes and inclusive of all condition, eventuation and actuation.
Discussion of the Performance
The duo-re-breather generated a great deal of heat for instance and this in itself affected the mechanism of our performance. Normally the heat produced by the chemical gas exchange would cool underwater. As this was not the case, the experience of performing with the device was like working in a very humid environment. At first I imagined this was a restriction for we had great plans to walk, dance, and "perform" amongst other things a tug-of-war together wearing our apparatus (hence the length of the hoses). However, it felt as though we needed to preserve our energies for the efforts required to breathe together efficiently. As a result, the wet, hot air seemed to dictate careful, conservative movement and periods of long stillness.
Coupled with this, the drag on our jaws and neck (caused by the awkward hose lengths and angles) pulled us both away from each other's line of sight. The configuration of the system also meant that the cylinder and bellow worn on Coutts' back was also out of direct sight. We positioned mirrors around us so that I could respond when the bellows were nearly exhausted and make any adjustments or modifications as required. This confined our gestures even further.
Likewise, the closed circuit respiratory system concentrated a significant amount of condensation and saliva. We were literally sharing our germs and exchanging bodily fluids without any physical contact between us. As a result, we had to be careful that our movements did not send the pools of drool and slime back along the hoses towards each other's mouthpieces. The transparent tubes allowed us to monitor this phenomenon and fortunately neither of us experienced a ghastly surge of backwash. As you can imagine, we became more and more careful as this accumulated. We often looked strained and uncomfortable in preference to the threat of contamination that could so easily occur with a slight change in position.
Consequences of our Performance
By navigating the mechanics of the apparatus our performance was as slow and delicate as a ritual dance or traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Nevertheless, the performance of the exclusive closed circuit system also had a double edge to it. The notion of biological self-containment referenced terms of life-support confinement, incarceration and incubation from the analogy of humidity cribs and extreme environment survival suits to the bittersweet reference of artificial respirators used in medical and military contexts. The politics of care and life support vs. the invasion of technological securities and life-inhibiting orthotics paralleled the dichotomous preservation function of closed circuit television, artificial biosphere habitat enclosures, and panic rooms for example.
Marina Abramović and Ulay taunted life and death by sharing one single inhalation until falling into unconsciousness some 19 minutes later during a performance titled 'Breathing In Breathing Out' 1979. They then repeated the performance in 1986 with a similar result to confirm that they were conscious, culpable in their independence, and transgressive in their co-dependence. [McEvilley 1998:23]
"…Breathing In/Breathing Out (1979), in which you and Ulay blocked your nostrils and kissed until the carbon dioxide passing between your bodies made you faint. Liminality is the space between breaths, the tiny pause when one is neither breathing in nor breathing out, neither kissing nor killing, neither writing nor reading, neither speaking nor listening, neither Peggy nor Marina. In the space of the mistake, before consciousness of the mistake emerges, something lives, vibrates, shakes. Perhaps it is in the mistake, the place of vulnerability, that we are completely alive." - Peggy Phelan to Marina Abramović, 2002.
Interdepend (Air Traffic) was devised and performed in early 2005 in the wake of the SARS epidemic and the Tsunami devastation of our neighboring countries. We were conscious of the increasing awareness of the "Policies of Air" (Dubrovnik). Fortunately neither of us had personal experience of chemical warfare or nuclear disaster. We were however becoming increasingly exposed to the EPA warnings of water-born and air-born disease in our region. Like blood rules and bodily fluid regulations and controls, there are cultural expectations and health and safety regulations governing the exchange of air and gas between individuals and the environment. On a micro-scale our social conditioning affects when, where and how it may be appropriate to kiss, cough and cover ones mouth. In some cultures, mouth-to-mouth or nose-to-nose greeting enables the sharing of air, breath and the spirit as a gesture of welcome and openness. There are warnings about contamination and risk these days. Devices to minimize contact when performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for example are commonplace. Similarly, atmospheric and smoking controls in industry and society designed to 'keep it clean'.
Like any system, the sum of the individual components affects the whole. Within the duo-re-breather, we had an exaggerated and immediate reciprocal responsibility to each other. In terms of our loop, the inconsistency of one performer's respiratory function for example, was our shared problem. I continually used hand signals to check if Coutts was okay, particularly if I could see the bellow rapidly decreasing capacity or hear an increased respiratory rate, or if I found it difficult to extract air from the system. The mouthpiece design masked the majority of facial expression and verbal communication and we relied on hand signals and eye contact. We also took it in turns to hold the hoses precariously in place to accommodate a comfortable arrangement and function between us. There were other restrictions too. For instance, I would have loved to lie down to lessen the drag of the mouthpiece on my neck but the scrubber on my back had to remain upright. Almost half an hour into the second performance before a small audience of our peers, I began to close my eyes and meditate so that I could endure the physical demands of maintaining my position. I opened my eyes with a start moments later upon realising that I was neglecting Coutts and withdrawing from the duties of care and system monitoring by acting independently. The affect was noticeable and he explained that he did feel abandoned, confronted, alone and anxious within the system. More worrying was the fact that Coutts explained later that he had been anxious more than once. Unless he adopted an obvious communication strategy, I could not always identify or respond to his state of being. Student divers internalise their fears also. Coutts and I were confronting ourselves more so than the interface.
Coutts referred to our biotech unit as one body of the global babushka. The mobius loop-style air traffic challenged our natural "forces to affiliate vs. forces to withdraw". When we were in equilibrium our level of existence was akin to that of conjoined twins in a womb. The interconnectedness required a sacrifice of the self and a complete trust in the other like the terms of a religious sacrament or the binary unit of yin and yang. We had created our own atmosphere: our own world inside a world and, by sharing air, we directed a passage for exchange between our individual selves through the sharing of our air, breath and spirit.
In terms of performance, we questioned if our state of pneumatoses extended to an audience. From the feedback we received, it appeared to do so. Future examination would reveal how the audience may affect upon our unit. Does their breath affect us? Can they become part of the interdependency? How does our installation or performance separate and unite us? Will we begin to adapt to the system through more use? Will we eventually be able to attempt more physical action or normal pedestrian daily-life activities? Could we travel on public transport for instance? Moreover, will extensive use of the duo-re-breather lead to a point where our two bodies will begin transcending the system to become something else?
This work deserves investment, research and creative development rehearsal.
We should also continue to investigate ways of harnessing our individual working methods more effectively and formalising a research linkage with a diving technology company or a hyperbaric research unit.
We need to reconsider the ergonomics of the design.
The duty of care in performance amplified by this collaborative research process has critical resonances with the state and condition of land-based performances of Aquabatics.
Despite the crudity of our duo-re-breather and bio-shaped re-breathers, the unique biotech systems were a reasonable functional success. The actual design of the apparatus could be refined with an injection of resources and creative experimentation with an industry partner and would benefit from a subsequent creative development workshop exploring closed circuit performance strategies and technologies. This research may lead to patentable hyperbaric biotechnologies that could be useful in therapeutic survival or contamination situations, educational purposes and adapted for use during recreational sport including cave diving for example.
This project also revealed the tremendous creative potentials to integrate biometrics and telemetric broadcast and life monitoring devices with design and operational trajectory modelling software. Amplifying the cardio vascular and respiratory function through an array of intimate earphones connected to the performers for example, could extend the life span and performativity of the actions and interfaces. Extending the beams of connectivity including live surveillance and direct projection could also amplify user/ performer/ technician communication signals extending care and operation systems. In addition to this, internal epidiascope surveillance could record and beam involuntary epiglottal reflexes and mini waterproofed cameras inside a junction of the duo-re-breather tubing route surveying moisture levels. It would also be interesting to explore the use of digital thermal imaging technologies to monitor the energies produced by the chemical and gas exchange within the biotech unit too.

Q: Adjusting voltage to non-dimmable LED lamps Some commercially available LED lamps are considered non-dimmable.   Traditional phase-control dimmers don't work well with them.
Would the behavior of such lamps be different if a full sine wave AC power source, at a lower voltage, were supplied? I.e. could dimming be accomplished using a variac?

Moorpark is where Marmonte happens
By Daily News | |
PREP FOOTBALL: Musketeers shut out Westlake and
win league title.
MOORPARK – Something looked familiar about Moorpark's 35-0 win over Westlake on Friday night, at least to Brody Rohach.
"We had the best week of practice we had all season," said the Musketeers junior quarterback, who finished 19-of-28 passing for 238yards and two touchdowns. "I'm kind of surprised, but really, I'm not. Our defense is great, our offensive line kept people out of the backfield, our running game was going, our passing game was going. Everything, really.
"It almost seemed like deja vu – we'd seen it happen in practice all week."
To make it happen in the game, though, took a complete effort by Moorpark.
The Musketeers' offense had scoring plays of 71 yards and 69 yards, the defense sacked Westlake quarterbacks Ben Conlin and Nick Isham seventimes and pressured them nine more, and Greg Morrissey had an 85-yard punt return.
In the second quarter, Moorpark blew the game open, effectively clinching the Marmonte League championship.
After scoring first in the first quarter on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Rohach to Tim Vizzi, his first of two touchdowns among 10catches for 149 yards, the Musketeers added 21 more points in the second quarter.
Austin Edmonson had touchdown runs of 69yards and 1 yard, finishing with 17 carries for 117 yards, and Morrissey took the ball up the left numbers for the long return. Meanwhile, defensive end Cameron Phillips had an interception, a sack and three quarterback pressures.
The defensive performance – Moorpark held Westlake (6-4, 4-3) to 109 yards on 31 plays in the first half, including a 50-yard Isham run – kept the offense on the field for much of the half.
"You never get tired of going down the field," Rohach said. "When you're scoring points and the defense keeps shutting people out, the adrenaline keeps going the whole game. I'm still not even tired yet. I won't be for a while."
He might not get much rest for the foreseeable future.
Moorpark (9-1, 7-0) has limited opposing offenses to just 10.3 points per game this season and hasn't allowed a point in nine quarters. , 29-0 to Moorpark.
"I don't think we could have asked more of the defensive line," Phillips said.
"Westlake's offensive line stays low and hits hard, and that's what we were told all week. We had to get that drive – as long as we got drive on the ball, they couldn't move it on us."
Phillips credited the play of defensive tackle Corey Sandoval for his play.
Sandoval frequently took up two to three offensive lineman, allowing Phillips a free lane at the quarterback.
"I think he's the defensive lineman in this league," Phillips said of Sandoval. "He opens up holes so easily. He takes so much pressure off me. When people come inside he just blows it all back – I rarely get pullers, because he blows them up so hard. It really leaves it open for me."
It marked the first time Westlake was shut out in a league game since 2005

Camera Catches Mike Lee's Face During Biden's SOTU - It's How We're All Feeling
McDonald's Serves Pregnant Woman Cup of Cleaning Solution Instead of Latte
By Jack Davis August 3, 2018 at 8:32am
When Sarah Douglas stopped in a Lethbridge, Alberta, McDonald's Sunday morning for a latte, she got more than she bargained for.
Douglas, who is seven months pregnant with her third child, became at least the second McDonald's customer in Alberta to end up being served cleaning solution instead of what she ordered.
Douglas knew at the first sip something was wrong.
"I immediately had to put my hazard lights on and pull over and spit it out and rinse my mouth out with … water," Douglas said, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported. "I opened up the lid of the coffee and out pours this pungent smell of chemical. It wasn't a latte at all."
She sped back to McDonald's to have it out with a supervisor.
"I showed him the coffee and he had asked if I wanted a new one, and I said, 'Absolutely not, this is unacceptable.' I said I need to speak to someone higher up and he said he was the only supervisor on at the time, and he gave me his manager's phone number," she said.
Douglas said staff at the restaurant showed her what she had been drinking, according to Lethbridge News Now.
"The supervisor went and got the bottle that was hooked up to it and brought it over to the counter, and I took a picture of it, so I knew what I was working with — what I had consumed so I could talk to 811 and poison control. So, I took a picture of it and then another co-worker of his had also overheard what had been going on, and was a little bit upset at the situation and said that this had happened before. And she was a little mad that it was occurring again," Douglas said.
Douglas put in a call to Alberta authorities, and also went to see a doctor, who said she suffered no harm — most likely, she said, because she never swallowed any of the drink.
Will this make you think twice when ordering at McDonald's?

Dan Brown, who owns the McDonald's franchise, later issued an apology.
"What happened is that the machine was being cleaned as it is every morning. Unfortunately, the milk supply line was connected to the cleaning solution while this guest's drink was made," Brown said in a statement.
"We have taken immediate action to review the proper cleaning procedures with the team and have put additional signage up as an added reminder," the statement added.
Douglas said she shared her story to prevent others from going through what she did.
Sarah Douglas says she's happy she shared her story & overwhelmed by the response. The 32-week pregnant woman was served cleaning solution instead of a latte at a #yql McDonalds. Our @CTVZayn spoke with her to find out what's happened since her experience went viral tonight at 5. pic.twitter.com/b9ceujGXja

Crime-Plagued McDonald's Forced to Take Drastic Measure
"As a mother, I want to make sure I have a voice and that I'm being heard in terms of the safety of consumers, and how negligence can affect people in such a drastic way," she said, according to the Globe and Mail.
In fact, she was not the first person in Alberta to get cleaning solution instead of a latte, CBC reported.
Cory Irwin of Red Deer, Alberta, had a similar experience at his McDonald's there in December.
"I took a sip of it and realized right away that it wasn't coffee, that there was a chemical," Irwin said. "Sort of caustic because I could feel my tongue going a bit numb."
McDonald's Canada admitted there have been other cases.
"The health and safety of every guest is McDonald's and our franchisees' absolute priority. We are aware that there are other isolated incidents of this nature. Even one incident is too many," McDonald's Canada spokesperson Laura Munzar said in an emailed statement.
"While the specialty coffee machines and usage procedures are of the highest industry standards, we are immediately (reinforcing) proper cleaning procedures with all McDonald's restaurants."

Patrick Mahomes Opens Super Bowl Week by Pointing to God: 'I Want to Make Sure I'm Glorifying Him'
For a moment on Tuesday, Lee represented every sensible American who was forced to listen to Biden's speech.


We sometimes hear that folks are going to skip their yearly flu vaccine because they don't believe in flu shots, they never get sick, or they think that flu shots don't work or are dangerous.
Of course, none of those are good reasons.
Flu vaccines are safe and have many benefits, even if they aren't any where near 100% effective.
So are there any legitimate reasons to skip a flu shot?
So, infants who aren't old enough to be vaccinated yet, and anyone who has had a life-threatening reaction to a previous dose.
Additional precautions, but not true contraindications, do including having had Guillain-Barré syndrome <6 weeks after a previous dose of influenza vaccine and having a moderate or severe acute illness with or without fever when you are planning to get vaccinated.
Even if you have had a severe reaction to eggs, you can still get a flu shot. Just get it get it in an inpatient or outpatient medical setting (such as a hospital, clinic, health department, or physician's office), so that you can be supervised by a health care provider who is able to recognize and manage severe allergic reactions.
Are you scared of shots? Flumist is back.
Are you skipping the flu shot because you never get sick? How lucky do you feel this year? Don't continue to gamble that you won't get the flu. Increase your chances of staying well by getting a flu shot, the best way to avoid the flu.

Authorities in Georgia are trying to figure out what happened to an aspiring model who was shot to death while driving outside Atlanta.
At first, Kelsey Quayle, 28, appeared to have been injured in a devastating car crash last Monday, but when she was rushed to the hospital for treatment, doctors discovered a bullet in her neck.
She died Wednesday after her family made the decision to remove her from life support.
"It's been really hard for us," Quayle's sister, Kayleigh Martin, told KTLA. "At first, it was just a car accident and then it turned into a crime scene, basically."
Police are reviewing surveillance footage from a gas station where Quayle stopped shortly before she veered into oncoming traffic and hit three other cars.
Officials are unsure if Quayle, who had recently moved to Atlanta to pursue a modeling career, was the victim of road rage, caught in a crossfire or specifically targeted.
"It seems to be random at this time," Capt. Scott Stubbs of the Clayton County Police Department told WSB-TV. "We have no reports of anyone reporting any gunfire, no reports of anybody driving erratically."
Martin begged for any information in the case.
"Please, please come forward," Martin told WSB-TV. "Please let us know if anybody saw anything."
A GoFundMe page has been set up in Quayle's name to help pay for funeral expenses.

let's start with the really discouraging news: it is not looking particularly good for edmonds. he had his MRI; the results are hush-hush, but here's a hint: jimmy will now be seen by a doc who specializes in sports hernias.
which often require surgery.
compared to that, last night's come-from-ahead loss to houston barely depresses. let's work backwards: why hancock in the 7th with the tying run on base and one out? to re-set it: cards leading 3-1, burke at 3d, ausmus at 1st, adam everett and the pitcher due up -- but both likely to be pinch-hit for. tony's options:
izzy: too early
wainwright: pitched yesterday; unavailable.
looper: having his usual problems this year vs left-handers (they're hitting .333 / .387 / .556 off him); with lane and palmeiro available on astros' bench, can't use him.
thompson: not pitching well -- pounded for 13 hits and 8 runs in his last 6 innings.
hancock: unscored upon for the month of may -- 9.2 shutout innings, 8 hits 2 walks 8 strikeouts for the month, with a .195 opp batting avg for the season. gets left-handed hitters out -- they're 5 for 34 (.147) against him this year.
flores: gotta save him for berkman.
johnson: ah, no.
i'd say tony made the logical choice; unfortunately, hancock pitched like crap, as has been his unfortunate habit in tight situations. he came out of spring training as a primary setup guy but was dumped from the role after a bad outing at wrigley on the season's first weekend; it was more than a month before he got called into a close game again. he didn't pitch well in a "hold" situation 10 days back vs kansas city (in reyes' other start), prob'y would have blown the lead if not for a great relay to the plate by eckstein.
excuse anthony reyes if he's not all that impressed with big-league relief pitching.
he had terrific command again, same as he displayed vs the royals -- threw all his pitches for strikes, changed speeds, had the astros swinging late on the fastball and early on the breaking pitches. he consistently hit the low 90s on the gun, was still topping 90 mph in the 7th inning, 85 pitches into the game. his undoing: a hanging breaking ball (looked like a slider . . . sorta) on the 0-2 delivery to chris burke with one out and nobody on in the 7th. a terrible pitch. reyes had retired 17 of 19 up to that point, and blew burke away each of his previous two trips to the plate. the hanging slider induced a visit from duncan, who no doubt wanted to know what was up with that pitch selection; five consecutive fastballs ensued, the last of which ausmus lashed to left field for a single, ending anthony's night.
kid did his job; i dunno what more he needs to show. in his 1st 25 big-league innings he has a 2.49 era, an 0.92 whip, and a 3:1 k/w ratio; opposing batters are hitting .200 against him. wasn't perfect yesterday, but didn't make many mistakes; looks like a big-leaguer to me.
hmmm . . . . 6 big-league-ready starting pitchers on the one hand; a weak, and now injury-depleted, outfield on t'other . . . . .
where was i? oh yeah, the clemens situation: newsday jumped the gun with its report yesterday of a done deal, but it still looks like he will pitch for houston this season.

How the New York Times published the Pentagon Papers
For starters, 7,000 classified documents didn't just fall into the hands of reporters

December 17, 2017 1:00PM (UTC)
Excerpted with permission from "The Pentagon Papers: The Secret History of the Vietnam War" by Neil Sheehan, E.W. Kenworthy, Fox Butterfield, and Hedrick Smith, with a new foreword by James L. Greenfield. Copyright The New York Times Company. Copyright 2017, Racehorse Publishing. Available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound.
In 1967, Robert McNamara, then President Lyndon Johnson's secretary of defense, created a secret unit in the Pentagon to collect as many internal government documents as possible relating to the Vietnam War. McNamara hoped that the collection would give officials a clearer view of the decisions that put the United States on an increasingly crisis-ridden path. It is not clear what, if anything, McNamara learned from the project. But it is clear that he could not, and did not, anticipate the journalistic bombshell he ultimately got.
In 1971, by which time President Richard Nixon had managed to involve the United States even more deeply in the war, The New York Times published a blockbuster series of articles based on McNamara's study. They came to be known as the Pentagon Papers, and now hold an essential place in the legacy of twentieth-century American journalism. The articles revealed, in detail and in the government's own words, how officials had stumbled, often haphazardly, into a disastrous war that had already taken thousands of American lives.
The documents included every cable, bureaucratic memo, and note of conversation from within the government that mentioned Vietnam. They were culled not only from the White House, Pentagon, and State Department, but also from such peripheral bureaucracies as the Agriculture Department. In all, they totaled more than seven thousand documents. Their classification ranged from top secret to just plain secret.
Somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of classified documents, Arthur (Punch) Sulzberger, the Times publisher, asked A.M. Rosenthal, the paper's executive editor, and me, as the appointed project editor, to brief the Times' outside law firm, Lord Day & Lord.
"How many of the documents were classified," the attorneys asked.
"All seven thousand," we responded.
Shocked, the firm counseled against publishing them. When that recommendation was brushed off, Lord Day declined to represent the paper in the matter—after reportedly debating but rejecting a proposal within the firm to report the project to the Justice Department. (Years later, when asked his reaction to first hearing about the papers, Punch Sulzberger replied wryly, "Ten years to life.")
The documents did not, as some later claimed, simply fall into the hands of The New York Times. Neil Sheehan, a Washington-based correspondent and celebrated Vietnam reporter, got a whiff of their existence, and then pursued a set of them from a senior member of the government-funded Rand Corporation, Daniel Ellsberg.
In multiple meetings between the two, Sheehan argued that Americans had a right to know how the government, especially the president, had made crucial decisions involving the war. Persuaded, Ellsberg began passing copies of the papers to Sheehan.
The copies arrived in New York in several mailbags and were eventually stashed in my Manhattan apartment, under the bed, for safe-keeping. They were then moved, suitcase by suitcase, to a makeshift editorial office set up in a suite in the Hilton Hotel. This was an essential first step. A crowded newsroom was no place for thousands of secret documents, and a leak was inevitable. Besides, our hotel hideaway allowed the editing staff to work all day and sleep in adjoining rooms at night.
From the start, our team agreed it was up to us to prove the papers' legitimacy beyond doubt. It took weeks to spot-check hundreds of the documents against hundreds of stories already published. More than twenty books written by former government officials and laden with Vietnam references were checked against the documents to see if they matched. In every case they did.
It quickly became apparent that no one writer—even one as skilled as Neil Sheehan—could write the series alone. So Hedrick Smith, E. W. (Ned) Kenworthy, and Fox Butterfield—all veteran Vietnam reporters—were brought in. Two of the paper's best editors—Gerald Gold and Allan Siegel, plus the Times chief librarian, Linda Amster, were recruited. Together they made sure that every sentence written corresponded to a reference in one of the documents. Adding one's own reporting was unacceptable.
The first installment of the Pentagon Papers was published in the Times on June 13, 1971, a Sunday. The article was displayed in the center of the front page. Inside were several pages of the actual documents reproduced verbatim.
The next day, after the second installment was published, an angry Attorney General John Mitchell sent a telegram to the paper, demanding that publication be stopped. It was, Mitchell contended, a threat to national security. The next day the Times ran an article under the headline: "Mitchell Seeks to Halt Series on Vietnam But Times Refuses." On Tuesday, after the paper had published three articles, Federal Judge Murray Gurfein slapped a restraining order on further publication.
It was immediately clear that this issue would end up in the country's highest court. And so it did, swiftly. Left without an outside law firm, James Goodale, the head of the Times legal department, recruited Alexander Bickel, a Yale professor and one of the country's top constitutional experts, to represent the paper. Floyd Abrams, an up-and-coming First Amendment lawyer, was added to the team.
On June 25 and 26, 1971, the Supreme Court heard the government's argument that further publication of the papers "would cause an irreparable harm to United States national interests."
On June 30, by a vote of six to three, the Court disagreed and upheld the Times's right to publish. And so the paper did, until the final installment on July 5, 1971.
The articles revealed a mounting list of problems that the government faced—and often fumbled—as the Vietnam War nearly careened out of control. Decisions were clouded by Washington politics,
President Johnson's own confused strategy, mixed signals from the battlefield, bad advice, and overconfidence, especially in evaluating an enemy's ability to absorb punishment and continue to fight with great ferocity.
The war in Vietnam continued until April 30, 1975. By then, fifty-eight thousand Americans had been killed, more than 60 percent of them under the age of twenty-one, and three hundred thousand wounded, fighting in the jungles and hamlets and paddy fields of that Southeast Asian country.

Development and Cell Biology Researchers showcased in diverse and collaborative annual event
Development and Cell Biology Theme Day Talks and Photos
sarah de val: Transcriptional regulation of vascular patterning
Associate Professor Sarah De Val kicked off the day with a presentation on her lab's work in collaboration with Associate Professor Nicola Smart. After the heart is damaged by a heart attack it needs to form new blood vessels. However, humans don't produce enough new blood vessels to supply the remaining tissue; to regenerate the tissue we need to grow new blood vessels as well. Researchers have tried to augment natural vessel formation in damaged hearts with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), but while VEGF can stimulate new vessels in healthy tissue, existing results suggest it doesn't work in the damaged adult heart. The longstanding idea is that the way blood vessels form in the heart during development will also be the way they form after injury. If we can understand how a blood vessel in the heart forms, we can then make it form again in the damaged adult heart. In her talk, Sarah presented the various regulatory pathways that control 4 different types of blood vessels in the developing heart, and discussed how her research has investigated whether any of these pathways "switch on" when the heart is injured.
Clive Wilson: Signalling by parcel post: identifying disease-related mechanisms of signal packaging and release in Drosophila
Next up Prof Clive Wilson, Professor of Cell and Development Genetics, presented his group's work on exploring the fundamental mechanisms behind how cells communicate with one another. By studying the signals that go from cell to cell in Drosophila, Clive's team try to work out how one signal gets passed from one cell to another using genetics by blocking gene function. In his talk, Clive focused on an area where those signals are much more complicated than just one signal, and are in fact multiple signals packaged up into a particular structure that is released from one cell to another. "We can genetically affect individual components of those structures and that will go on to affect the individual structures and how they function. By doing that we can work out what the different steps are in making these signals and then how they work." (Prof Wilson).
anna schneider: Abolition of activity dependent synaptic vesicle release of layer V glutamatergic cortical projection neurons changes the distribution of GABAergic interneurons in the cerebral cortex
The third talk was presented by DPhil Student Anna Schneider from the Molnar Group. The background to her presentation is that communication within the brain occurs through synaptic connections between various neurons numbering in the billion. Proper brain function requires a balance between excitation and inhibition, which means a balance between glutamatergic pyramidal cells and GABAergic interneurons. "The objective of our research was to understand how glutamatergic pyramidal cells influence the distribution of GABAergic interneurons in the cerebral cortex and striatum for which we were using a conditional knockout mouse model to block vesicular neurotransmitter release from selected pyramidal cells." (Anna Schneider).
filipa simoes: Macrophages directly contribute collagen to scar formation during zebrafish heart regeneration
After a short break, the audience returned to hear from BHF CRE Intermediate Transition Research Fellow Dr Filipa Simões from the Riley Group. Her talk focused on her research into Macrophages, which are important cells that normally fight infections in the body. Her team is looking at them as important players after heart injury. "What our work is showing is that macrophages are incredibly plastic and can directly contribute to the scar that is formed after you have a heart attack. The reason why this is quite relevant is because after heart injury the adult human heart can't really repair itself, and it forms a permanent scar. So the more we understand how the scar is formed; which new players are involved, which new genes are involved, the better we could try to manipulate the presence of this scar, to make it a more transient scar and to perhaps help the heart to regenerate as other organisms do like the zebrafish." (Dr Simões).
matthew stower: Imaging Epithelial Tissue Dynamics in the Mouse Embryo
Next up was Dr Matthew Stower, a Postdoctoral Researcher from the Srinivas Group, a lab that works on understanding how cells in an epithelial context move. Epithelia are a type of structure which form a critical part of all different types of tissues in order to form organs in the body. Epithelial cells make a range of structures and in order to do that, the cells have to move around, reorganise themselves and form the characteristic shape and structure of that particular organ or tissue. Matthew is keen to understand how that is controlled and how those cells move in order to make all the different shapes of the tissues in the body. To do that, he and his team are using a very early stage of embryonic development where there is an epithelium called the visceral endoderm, and within it, a group of cells called the "AVE". He then presented a fascinating display of the different types of live imaging they use; confocal and light-sheet microscopy which enables the imaging of whole volumes of embryo rapidly over the course of 10 – 20 hours. "We are also working on different ways of computationally tracking the cells from our live imaging in to understand the movement of the cells in the tissue. This imaging will give us an insight as to the cell behaviours that take place, and in the future we'd like to know what genes are controlling those cell behaviours. This will potentially serve as a model to understand these kind of movements in larger, less accessible organs." (Dr Stower).
SARAH DE VAL: ATHENA SWAN IN DPAG
Just before lunch, the audience once again heard from Sarah De Val in her capacity as the Athena SWAN Academic Lead. In this talk, she reminded the Department's Researchers of the Athena SWAN initiatives in place and how these can help and support them. She also encouraged everyone to get involved with the newly established departmental working groups designed to enrich staff and student experiences at DPAG.
After lunch, everyone gathered for a poster session, where 9 Postdoctoral researchers and Students informally presented posters of their work. The posters were presented by Osama Al-Dalahmah (Szele Group), Rita Alonazian (Carr / Smart Group), Holly Hathrell (Srinivas Group), Zhilian Hu (Mommersteeg Group), Konstantinos Klaourakis (Riley Group), John Mason (Goberdhan Group), Svanhild Nornes (De Val Group), Aashika Sekar (Wilson Group) and Jacinta Kalisch-Smith (Sparrow Group).
anjali kusumbe: age-related angiocrine signals in homeostasis and disease
After the poster session, the audience reconvened to hear from an Oxford University speaker external to the theme, Professor Anjali Kusumbe from the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology. Before becoming a group leader, Anjali's postdoctoral research on endothelial cell heterogeneity in bone led to identification of a specialised blood vessel subtype in bone and represents a very fundamental advancement in the understanding of bone vasculature and the links between blood vessel growth, bone formation and bone ageing. She has received multiple awards including the Werner-Risau Memorial Award for her work. The goal of her group in Oxford is to elucidate the niche functions of blood vessels in normal and tumour tissues. Her group utilizes high-resolution three-dimensional imaging, advanced intravital imaging, RNA-sequencing and cell-specific inducible genetic approaches in Mus musculus to identify novel interactions between blood vessels and tissue cells.
mathilda mommersteeg: Pleiotropic roles during zebrafish heart regeneration
Next up was Prof Mathilda Mommersteeg, Associate Professor of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine. Her talk both referenced key research she published in Cell Reports last year, and outlined their ongoing research into the issue of the adult human heart being unable to regenerate itself. Heart muscle that dies is replaced by scar tissue and that tissue is never replaced by heart muscle,"so the heart can't pump as well anymore and even if it will survive a heart attack, it causes heart failure to happen, and long-term the heart can't improve anymore. We know the zebrafish is the most wellknown model that can regenerate its heart; it can injure its heart and it can regenerate itself." (Prof Mommersteeg). Her team has now identified a model that may be better at regenerating than even the zebrafish.
deborah goberdhan: Stress-induced exosome signalling: a new mechanism in cancer progression
After a short break, researchers heard from Prof Deborah Goberdhan, Associate Professor of Cell Signalling. Her talk overviewed her group's work on characterising a new mechanism in cancer biology involving secreted vesicles known as exosomes, which signal between cells. In collaboration with the Harris group (WIMM) and the Wilson group (DPAG); her team has identified a new conserved site of exosome formation inside the cell. "Stressing cancer cells by reducing levels of key nutrients or the activity of the nutrient sensing signaling complex, mTORC1, leads to a switch in exosome production from this new site. The 'switched' exosomes have different protein content to the classically produced exosomes and can drive cancer cell turnover, potentially promoting tumour cell adaptation." (Prof Goberdhan). They are currently trying to work out how to selectively block their production in the long-term, alongside working on non-invasive ways to improve the early diagnosis of cancer in the shorter-term. This work is in collaboration with Dr Elizabeth Bird-Lieberman and Prof Jason Davis (Chemistry).
emma rawlins: Stem cell strategies for lung growth, maintenance and repair
The final talk of the day was given by external speaker Professor Emma Rawlins from the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge. Her laboratory works on lung developmental and stem cell biology and regeneration. Specific questions addressed include: How are our lungs built and maintained? How does this go wrong in disease? Can we use our insights from developmental biology to induce effective lung regeneration? Or to promote improved maturation of premature lungs? The laboratory uses a combination of human embryonic lung organoids and mouse genetics as model systems. They perform multiple techniques including, in vitro and mouse genetics, lineage-tracing, microscopy, live-imaging, cellular and molecular techniques.

The girl who seems to be living this saying is Faith Lumire, a form 4 music student at the Aga Khan High School, Nairobi. With only six months of formal training, Faith managed to clinch the first place in the violin category of the 2018 National Kenya Music Festival, bagging the title of "National Champion" for herself.
Her success in the festival is nothing short of glorious. She received a whopping 88% marks in her very first attempt at the festival, resulting in her victory. The school believes that with this kind of passion and dedication backing her, Faith's success is inevitable.
The Aga Khan High School, Nairobi is known to follow a practical, student centered approach to teaching music in a friendly and encouraging environment. The teachers are supportive and create a conducive setting in which students can hone their musical potential and they did as much for Faith.
In addition to the support and inspiration extended by the school, Faith would often go over and beyond the regular efforts required. Teachers observed that in the six months of her training, Faith frequently skipped her breaks and lunch times to practice violin. While talent is something that can be nurtured over time, talent, paired with unbridled passion like this needs only the right environment to flourish unabated.

Shooglenifty: big (beasties) in Borneo
This time next week (7/8/15) the Shoogles will be enjoying their fourth trip to the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) in Borneo. This is a music festival, that, as the name suggests, happens in the jungle. It's hot, sweaty and full of amazing sounds – musical and otherwise.
Festival Director Jun-Lin Yeoh remembers that the band was first invited to the Malaysian event via the British Council in 1999, "The were such a hit that we had to have them back again two years later. Then we had them for the festival's 10th anniversary, and now we're having them back to celebrate their 25th anniversary."
Unsurprisingly the band are relishing the opportunity to entertain in the Rainforest once again, and new band member Ewan MacPherson is particularly keen to visit the orangutans that are native to Borneo. "Hopefully he won't get lost like Conrad [Ivitsky] did on one of those first trips," says James Mackintosh.
Erstwhile Shoogle bass player Conrad is a keen hiker and decided to head off into the jungle late in the afternoon. "In Borneo, it gets dark just like that, and when night fell he couldn't see an inch in front of his face. There was a search party sent out and he was found at 9pm. He said it was the most terrifying two hours of his life, he had a load of unknown and unseen creatures crawling up him."
For current bass player Quee MacArthur his encounter with wildlife was in more familiar surroundings. "We were on stage," remembers James. "The place was going mental and Quee started really moving and jerking around, and I thought, he's really getting into it tonight. Then I saw him motioning to our sound engineer Craig on the monitor desk. The next thing I saw was Craig grabbing something on Quee's neck and throwing it into the forest. A praying mantis had landed on his bass and then moved on to his neck where its tiny claws were digging into his skin!"
So you get the picture. The main stage at RWMF is not called the 'Jungle Stage' for nothing. The backdrop is the rainforest, and the audience are housed in a natural amphitheatre. "It's a big gig," says James. "There are about 10,000 people all going nuts." And why does he think that Shooglenifty's music is so popular with the Borneo audience? "Simple really, they like an upbeat tune, and they love to dance like everyone else."
Jun Lin Yeoh is in no doubt: "the Rainforest audience loved them the first year they came. They all looked mighty fierce and badass, but were really gentle giants, and their music rocked." For those of us used to midgies, that sounds a bit like the wildlife.
The Rainforest Music Festival is held each August in Sarawak, Borneo. Shooglenifty will headline the festival's Jungle Stage for the fourth time on Friday 7 August 2015.

Sophie's Choice for Shoogle fans at Scottish Trad Awards
We are really looking forward to the Scottish Trad Awards this year because we are going to be playing and anticipating our 25th Anniversary Year, coming up in 2015. What we didn't know when we agreed to play was that two of our band members would be nominated for awards … in the same category!
Our amazing new mandolin player Ewan MacPherson has been nominated as instrumentalist of the year, as has our very modest (and great) drummer and percussionist James Mackintosh. Both are fabulous and highly acclaimed musicians, and both are essential elements of the Shooglenifty sound.
Here's what James said about his nomination: "I'm surprised and delighted to be nominated … looking forward to the gathering, tunes, friends and craic." And Ewan had this to say, "The level of musicianship is amazing on the scene just now, I could pick any number of players at random who are all worthy of this category. So it's great to be working amongst such good friends and musicians."

The summer saw one of the biggest M&A announcements in the history of the channel: ScanSource-Intelisys. That overshadowed Sandler Partners' purchase of X4 Solutions, a mega master/distributor merger in its own right.
We offered you the latest on Verizon's pending acquisition of XO and Polycom's last-minute suitor switch, just to name a couple more.
How about Rackspace's $8 billion sale and the split of Integra and Electric Lightwave?
July and August were two of the biggest months ever for mergers, acquisitions and spinoffs. Our one-stop gallery offers a wrap-up.
Looking for more M&A? Our breakdown from May and June is here.
ScanSource agreed to acquire Intelisys in an all-cash deal worth approximately $83.5 million. It's scheduled to close by the end of September.
The linking of the traditional tech distributor with the traditional master agent most certainly is a sign of the times in the converging channel. ScanSource CEO Mike Baur made no bones about his company's acquisition strategy, which is to purchase what the company is missing, in this case, the opportunity to sell cloud and carrier services.
Read the reactions of some members of the channel community.
In another merger at the channel's core, Sandler Partners is getting a whole lot bigger, expanding its national footprint by acquiring fellow master agent X4 Solutions.
Sandler Partners said the acquisition positions it as the nation's second-largest telecom and cloud services master agency. Together, the companies serve more than 4,000 sales partners in the West, Northwest, Southwest and Midwest. The combined company will generate about $65 million in revenue this year. Terms of the deal are not being disclosed.
Read more about the merger.
There was buzz about a possible acquisition of Level 3 Communications by Comcast. Shares of Level 3 jumped after a report that Level 3 was "reviewing strategic alternatives," from an outright sale to a large buyback.
For the most part, analysts pooh-poohed the rumors, believing that Level 3 is more likely to be a buyer of smaller assets.
Read more about the speculation here.
News of the $4.3 billion acquisition of Rackspace Hosting by Apollo Global Management confirmed buyout rumors that have waxed and waned over the past few years.
In accepting the buyout bid, the publicly traded, 18-year-old managed cloud company will become privately held, a move industry watchers applauded. The question for Rackspace partners, i.e. digital agencies, master agents, systems integrators, VARs, solution providers and MSPs who collocate with Rackspace, is how the sale of the company impacts their business.
Check out Lynn Haber's recap of the transaction and channel reaction.
In another purchase buy a private equity firm, Siris Capital Group thwarted Mitel's acquisition of Polycom.
Siris said it plans to buy the company for about $2 billion in cash. Polycom's board of directors, changing course, unanimously determined the Siris offer to be "superior" to the Mitel transaction. Polycom has to pay Mitel a $60 million termination fee.
Read more about why Polycom changed directions.
With its pending separation from Dell, SonicWALL announced its new Secure First Partner Program and previewed its Cloud Global Management System (GMS) at Peak16 in Las Vegas.
In June, Dell announced it was selling its software division, including Quest Software and its SonicWALL security business, to private-equity firm Francisco Partners and the private-equity arm of activist hedge fund Elliott Management for more than $2 billion. The deal should close at the end of the third quarter.
Read more about the partner program and reactions from partners about the split.
Electric Lightwave is splitting from Integra, becoming a standalone, fiber-based network services company.
Electric Lightwave is the largest regional fiber-based provider in the western United States, serving more than 5,400 large enterprise customers, wholesale carriers, web content providers, government organizations and educational institutions.
Read about the opportunities that Scott Forbush, Electric Lightwave's vice president of indirect sales, told Channel Partners that the split creates for both Electric Lightwave and Integra partners.
Verizon's pending $1.8 billion purchase of XO Communications' fiber-optic network business hit another snag when the FCC paused its 180-day review of the deal.
Then, on Sept. 1, the FCC resumed its review.
Read more about the back-and-forth between the FCC and the two companies.
Simplified Networks finished acquiring CloudConnect, a hosted VoIP provider based in San Diego.
Simplified said the acquisition allows it to improve its position in cloud communications. CloudConnect used Softswitch technology from Simplified Networks' parent company, PhoenixSoft, to build its customer base. Simplified said their shared technologies will help make the transition seamless.
Rumors swirled that Lightower Fiber Networks is seeking a buyer, with Level 3 Communications and Zayo as potential suitors.
Lightower itself has been busy acquiring smaller companies over the past few years, most recently announcing the purchase of Datacenter101 to help meet demand for data center and networking services in the Columbus, Ohio, area.
Read about the speculation as well as Lightower's Datacenter101 acquisition.

Revisiting the Heartbreak of Sonny Liston
By Robert Ecksel on November 25, 2019
Liston was a "bad nigger," whereas Patterson was the "good negro." (photo: Neil Leifer)
"Someday they'll write a blues song just for fighters. It'll be for slow guitar, soft trumpet, and a bell."—Sonny Liston
Pariah: The Lives and Deaths of Sonny Liston, written and directed by Simon George and based on Shaun Assael's The Murder of Sonny Liston: Las Vegas, Heroin, and Heavyweights, recently premiered on Showtime and explores in depth the heartbreaking life and death of former heavyweight champion Charles "Sonny" Liston.
The documentary humanizes a fighter many considered a monster begging to be cut down to size. Liston's story is unique in its particulars, but it echoes the early lives of scores of fighters who fought their way to the top, always against insurmountable odds, only to have it end tragically, albeit in Sonny's case under mysterious circumstances.
The 24th of 25 children who were raised in abject poverty in Jim Crow America, specifically in Forrest City, Arkansas, by a sharecropper and his long-suffering wife, Liston was subjected to abuse from the start. Beatings, canings, whippings, even being yoked to the family's plow after the family's prior beast of burden, a mule, had died, his childhood from hell imprinted itself on Liston in ways he could not shake, and which few would let him forget.
Despite declaring him "the greatest heavyweight who ever lived," a questionable assertion at best, even before the opening credits, the documentary is, generally speaking, an excellent piece of work. Relying on archival film and photographs, unobtrusive reenactments, and interviews with sportswriters, university professors, and Mike Tyson, as well as less credible commentators like a "self-professed former fight fixer" and an allegedly rogue cop, Pariah succeeds in not only bringing the late Sonny Liston to life in an evenhanded manner, but in grounding that life in an historical context in which an oppressed minority forces a country to address, however reluctantly, with the racism institutionalized at the nation's founding.
A man who could not read nor write anything but his own name, Liston, after moving to St. Louis at the age of 13 to join his mother, gravitated to a life of petty crime that escalated into more serious offenses. It wasn't that Liston, as a poverty-stricken young black man, was more prone to criminality than a poverty-stricken young white man in similar circumstances. But with opportunities for advancement scarce to nonexistent, there were, and regrettably still are, few tastes of the ostensible good life without venturing into lawlessness.
Liston's rap sheet was long. In 1950 he was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to five years in Missouri State Penitentiary for armed robbery. His story might have ended then and there, either because of embitterment or a hostile prisoner's shank, were it not for the prison chaplain, Father Alois Stevens, who persuaded Liston to join the boxing program. The brutality he had experienced as a child and embodied as a teenager had found what it had lacked; namely a socially acceptable medium with a message which Sonny heard loud and clear, as the buzzards overhead took notice.
Organized crime took to boxing the way a shark takes to water. They recognized Liston's potential while he was still in prison, where he fought professionals as part of his training regimen. When he was paroled after two years, he turned pro in 1953 and was already mobbed up, which facilitated rather than deterred his rise. He was not yet the formidable machine bent on destruction we know today, but he was natural at breaking men from the start.
Less than a decade into his pro career, after beating the likes of first-rate fighters like Cleveland Williams (twice), Roy Harris, Zora Folley, and Eddie Machen, on his way to amassing a 33-1 record by the end of 1961, Liston was ranked the number one contender to face the reigning heavyweight champion of the world, Floyd Patterson.
All that stood in his way was public sentiment.
Patterson also had a troubled past, but his demons were no match for the man he became. Articulate and attractive, even while protected by his manager and trainer Cus D'Amato, he was adored by the NAACP, civil rights activists, Jackie Robinson, and Jack and Bobby Kennedy as a symbol of African-American advancement, unlike "America's worst nightmare," Sonny Liston.
However complicated life might be, oversimplification is the ruse of first and last resort when it comes to riling the public. One newspaperman wrote of Liston, "A man like that, he shouldn't be fought; he should be hunted." Others described Liston as a "bad nigger," whereas Patterson was the "good negro." Pulitzer Prize-winning African-American author James Baldwin countered their reductionism by writing, "The press has really maligned Liston very cruelly, I think. He is far from stupid; is not, in fact, stupid at all. On the contrary, he reminded me of big, black men I have known who acquired the reputation of being tough in order to conceal the fact that they weren't hard."
Pariah echoes that opinion, but nobody believed good Patterson could defeat big bad Sonny Liston. D'Amato thought fighting Liston was a huge mistake. So did JFK. They felt the loss would disrupt the status quo while impeding racial advancement, failing to take into account a young, undefeated, mouthy fighter from Louisville, Kentucky, named Cassius Clay, who would raise disruption to a whole new level.
Whatever his shortcomings in the ring, Patterson was an honorable man. "I feel he has every right to fight for the championship," he said about Liston, "despite his unfortunate background." Going into their first fight, at Comiskey Park in Chicago on November 25, 1962, Liston had a 13-inch reach advantage and outweighed Patterson by 25 pounds. Floyd was doomed from the start. The fight ended at 2:06 of the first round. Larry Merchant, writing for the Philadelphia Daily News, years before his stint at HBO and anti-Liston from the start, wrote, "Emily Post would probably recommend a ticker-tape parade. For confetti we can use torn-up arrest warrants." Their second fight, at the Las Vegas Convention Center 10 months later, lasted four seconds longer than the first.
Liston had reached the summit. There was nowhere to go but down. The respect he thought was his due was not forthcoming. He was no more accepted as champion than he was as challenger, and seven months later Sonny was dethroned by Cassius Clay (soon to be known as Muhammad Ali), controversially, after he quit on his stool at the end of the sixth round. A more controversial rematch followed 15 months later. It ended in the first round after Ali landed his so-called "phantom punch." Both bouts were denounced as a fix.
That was it for Sonny Liston, figuratively if not literally. He would continue to fight, against increasingly lesser opposition, and his end would come five years after the second loss to Ali, when he was found dead in his Las Vegas home on January 5, 1971, under mysterious circumstances, which is where Pariah: The Lives and Deaths of Sonny Liston both begins and ends.
When Liston's bloated corpse was discovered by his wife Geraldine, there were needle marks on his arm, despite his well-known aversion to needles. The Las Vegas police allegedly found marijuana and heroin at the scene, but no syringes. The medical examiner reportedly discovered trace amounts of junk in his system, but wrote that he died of "natural causes," and the cops ended their investigation.
There are dozens of anecdotes, theories and rumors about Sonny's death, and dozens more about who murdered him, assuming it was murder, and not an accidental overdose that did him in. Liston's turbulent history, his mob ties, the many enemies he made over the years, as well as the gamblers he may or may not have stiffed by failing to go into the soup against Chuck Wepner in his final fight, provided as many suspects as reasons for him to be silenced and why. The documentary addresses these hypotheses with a thoroughness that gives lie to pat explanations, yet Pariah reaches no definitive conclusions, just as there were none at the time of his death, nor a half century later.
Liston was larger than life, and now that Pariah: The Lives and Deaths of Sonny Liston has aired, his hovering spirit is larger than death.
In the final analysis, with no easy answers forthcoming, it might be as the boxing promoter Harold Conrad, who knew Sonny personally, foretold:
"He died the day before he was born."
