Subject: Christians in the Movies
Hi
I hope all is
well with you and your family. I thought I’d let you know about my latest
writing venture, a portrayal of Christians from 1905 to 2007 (See below for the
description).. Despite having successfully published
three books and having an agent, it has been difficult to secure a mainstream
publisher. I think the word “Christians” turns them off since atheists are more
likely to get published today. If anyone on the Jasper Jottings email list has
any suggestions or knows publishers or editors that might be interested in
taking a look at the manuscript, I’d love to hear about it.
Thanks for
keeping our alums together. Keep up the great work.
Best regards,
Peter

From Saints to
Sinners: 100 Years of Christians in the Movies
From the Life
and Passion of Jesus Christ (1905) to Amazing Grace (2007), Dans
vividly traces the arc in film portrayal of Christians from reverence to, at
times, outright ridicule over the past century. He explores reasons for the
change: the abolition of the Hays Motion Picture Code; the demise of the
National Legion of Decency; and associated profound societal and cultural
changes. In addition to about 100 in depth reviews, there are brief out-takes
of about 75 lesser Christian-themed films as well short commentaries on related
subjects, e.g., the real story behind Inherit the Wind; the treatment of
abortion in film and portraits of actors, directors and writers most
prominently associated with films treating Christianity and 100 still
photographs. Dans is a faculty member at

NEW YORK, March
12 (Reuters) - International refining icon Tom O’Malley wants to buy some U.S.
refineries — the kind of move he has turned into big money in the past.
Currently the
chairman of Zug, Switzerland-based refiner Petroplus
(PPHN.VX: Quote, Profile, Research), O’Malley had a colorful past as cab driver
and commodities trader before earning himself a reputation on Wall Street for
his Midas touch in the refining business.
Now, with a
growing number of
Petroplus reached a $2 billion deal last month
with private equity firms Blackstone Group (BX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and
First Reserve to buy some U.S. plants, raising speculation in the energy
industry that it could be a bidder for refineries currently owned by top U.S.
refiner Valero (VLO.N: Quote, Profile, Research).
O’Malley,
speaking to reporters at the Hart World Refining & Fuels conference in
He declined to
say whether the group was interested in buying Valero refineries currently up
for sale.
San
Antonio-based Valero said Tuesday it was considering selling five of its plants
in
REFINING GURU
During his
leadership at Tosco, which ran from the late 1980s into 2001, O’Malley was able
to buy refining assets at what turned out to be bargain prices, upgrade them,
and sell them off at a big profit during industry upturns.
In one of his
most dramatic moves, O’Malley incurred the wrath of local unions when he
purchased the Trainer,
Two years later,

In 2001, Tosco
Corp was sold to Phillips Corp for $7.36 billion.

operations of the debt-laden company to
At Premcor, he
began amassing refineries, buying undervalued or poorly fitting assets such as the
Delaware City, Delaware, plant from Motiva.
In 2005, as the
refining business started pulling in record profits, O’Malley sold Premcor’s
four refineries to larger rival Valero in a $6.9 billion stock and cash deal.
The wheeling and
dealing O’Malley came from working class roots. Born in 1942 and raised in
He characterizes
himself as a “happily married” man and is considered by many who have worked
with him as a man with a strong work ethic.
“He will die at
his desk,” said one
“No, I plan to
die on the golf course,” O’Malley told Reuters in a recent interview. (Editing

barack
obama is a shady person, he has too many skeletons in
his closet. do you really think he cares about racial
differences in this country? i don’t think so. why? if he really cares he should
quit now to save this country from embarrassment. i
believe obama is not a racist however i believe his
closest friends and allies are, and they’re hard line racist. and it’s funny blacks are racist? YES it’s true they are stucked from the past, who blames every white people in
this world as slave masters or racist. but yet ask
yourself is theres a country that runs by blacks
flourish? just look
