  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Raiders of the Lost Ark is an action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas. Set in 1936, it follows Indiana Jones, a daring archaeologist, as he races against Nazi forces to find the Ark of the Covenant, a biblical relic believed to possess immense power. Along the way, Jones faces treacherous enemies, dangerous traps, and a complicated relationship with his former lover, Marion Ravenwood. The film blends thrilling action, suspense, and historical mythology, paying homage to classic adventure serials while exploring themes of courage, greed, and the quest for power. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Harrison Ford ad-libbed the line "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage" to Marion on the ship.” 
    
  “The "body blow" sounds were made by striking a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat.” 
    
  “Alfred Molina had his first credited role in this film, where he had to endure being covered in tarantulas.” 
    
  “During filming in Tunisia, almost everyone on set fell ill, except for Steven Spielberg. He avoided sickness by only eating cans of Spaghetti-O's that he brought himself.” 
    
  “A python bit first assistant director David Tomblin during the "Well of Souls" scene, and it wouldn’t let go until someone grabbed its tail and snapped it, making the snake release its bite.”

  Designer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is legendary for her  
  decades of scholarship and advocacy, and as a touchstone and conscience for the  
  design profession. In HERE: Where the Black Designers Are, Holmes-Miller  
  documents the history of—and answers to—the question she has been asking for  
  decades: “Where are the Black designers?”  
  Holmes-Miller explores this essential question through the lens of her own  
  development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich  
  multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode  
  Island School of Design (RISD), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Pratt  
  Institute, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for  
  Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for  
  noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment  
  Television (BET), as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in Print 
  magazine and other design publications. Holmes-Miller also recounts the parallel  
  history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty  
  years to identify and celebrate Black designers. 
  HERE is part memoir, part historical investigation, and an urgent call for justice  
  and recognition for Black designers. 
  “This book is representative of the shoulders on which we, as Black graphic  
  designers, stand. These are the legacies we are fighting to uphold and the torches  
  we must continue to carry. The journey of the Black designer has not been easy. It  
  isn’t easy. And while we may be left out of history books, this is a reminder that we  
  are here. Always have been. Always will be.”—Tré Seals, Vocal Type

  Apocalypse Television - How The...

  David Craig, Robert Iger

  On November 20, 1983, a three-hour made-for-TV movie, The Day After, premiered on ABC. Set in the heartland of Lawrence, Kansas, the film depicted the events before, during, and after a Soviet nuclear attack with vivid scenes of the post-apocalyptic hellscape that would follow. The film was viewed by over 100 million Americans and remains the highest rated TV movie in history. 
   
   
   
  The path to primetime for The Day After proved nearly as treacherous as the film's narrative. Battles ensued behind the scenes at the network, between the network and the filmmakers. But these skirmishes pale in comparison to the culture wars triggered by the film in the press, alongside a growing Nuclear Freeze movement, and from a united, pro-nuclear Right. Once efforts to alter the script failed, the White House conducted a full-throttled propaganda campaign to hijack the film's message. 
   
   
   
  Apocalypse Television features a dramatic insider's account of the making of and backlash against The Day After. No other book has told this story in similar fashion, venturing behind-the-scenes of the programming and news divisions at ABC, the backlash from the conservative movement and Religious Right, the challenges encountered by the film's production team, and the experiences of the citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, where the film was set and shot.

  "Joyce Fidler's life is one of many twists and turns and highs and lows. Sometimes she'll shock you; other times she'll bring you to tears. If you have an alcohol or drug addiction problem, her book will uplift you and encourage you to make important changes in your life. It's not a preachy book; instead, it's very honest and forthright." Terry Hassman-Paulin, Editor at Silver Burdett Ginn (ret.) 
  "A memoir of a frenzied woman" Frank Dungan, TV Producer/Emmy Winning Writer 
  "Joyce Fidler tells a mind-blowing story. Being a musician myself who tripped through that era I knew from the first that this was real, but Fidler's unique POV made it a brand-new experience. I didn't think that I could be shocked, but particular parts of her story left me wide-eyed. The spiritual message left me teary-eyed." Gene Herd, Executive Director of the Hollywood Radio and Television Society (ret.)
