Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Radio brought rock 'n' roll into the homes of millions of people growing up in the Sixties and Seventies. Rock 'n' roll was the currency of the day, and radio was where you enjoyed it. The internet didn't exist, television only had three networks, and there were no such things as satellites or streaming music platforms. The kings of every station were the irrepressible Top 40 DJs - the guys who entertained us for hours with witty repartee before, after and sometimes during those marvelous, magical hits only heard on the radio. With their voices in our ears for countless hours of every day, these (mostly) men were larger-than-life heroes who most people considered to be close friends and family. Top of every list must be Shotgun Tom Kelly, who joked with us, laughed with us, talked with us and brought us songs that would become the soundtrack to our young lives. Still playing the hits today, Shotgun Tom remains one of the last big Top 40 radio personalities. Even as the world's technology has changed around him, this bear of a man remains instantly identifiable by his trademark ranger hat and 'brrrrrr-yah' sign-on. His transition from AM to FM to streaming online has expanded his impact from a handful of Southern California teenagers to a global audience that can't get enough of his sonorous voice. And from acquiring his much-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to the hundreds of stories he shares about Cousin Brucie, Wolfman Jack, The Real Don Steele, Stevie Wonder, and countless other mentors, associates, and friends, All I Wanna Do Is Play The Hits! delivers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the golden age of radio with a heartfelt and insightful story told firsthand by one of the most important people ever to turn a station's listeners into a community. In the words of one lifelong fan, 'Radio was IT!' And here's Shotgun Tom Kelly in his ranger hat holding court, keeping us entertained and amused once more, and reminding us of the value and importance of spending time with good friends.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Photo album, consisting of 38 color photos, belonging to Charles V. Hamilton. In 1967, with cowriter Stokely Carmichael, Hamilton published the groundbreaking book, *Black Power: The Politics of Liberation*. Part of the book's, and Hamilton's legacy is solidifying the term "institutional racism* in public discourse. From 1969 until his retirement in 1998, Hamilton was the Wallace S. Sayre professor of government and political science at Columbia University. This photo album documents the three years Hamilton spent working for the Study Commission on U.S. Policy Toward Southern Africa, spanning the years 1979 to 1981. The findings of this study were compiled into a book by Allison Drew titled *South Africa: Time is Running Out* (1981). A review of the book published in the peer reviewed journal *Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies* states that the goal of the report was "to create a policy framework based on United States interests in the South African context." However, the review's conclusion is rather critical of the commission's results, stating: "Although taking a firm stance against petty apartheid and effectively challenging South Africa's view of its own strategic importance, the commission's economic policy recommendations amount to a carte blanche for continued United States investments. In essence, therefore, the commission's suggestions support the status quo. Its recommendation of continued United States investment is, in fact, a vote of confidence for apartheid . Moderation and maximization of interests within a nonviolent framework are the main themes of this book, and moderation is what it seeks from the reader." This apparently unsuccessful attempt to bridge the gap between public interests and business interests is partially illustrated in the mix of individuals who were involved. Hamilton was appointed as one of 11 commissioners on the study along with other academics and activists such as Ruth Simms Hamilton (no relation), Aileen C Hernandez, and Constance Hilliard. Other members included businessmen, such as Alan Pifer, the acting president of the Carnegie Corporation at the time; C. Peter McColough, the CEO of Xerox; businessman and philanthropist Frank A. Thomas; and J. Irwin Miller, a businessman known for his civic activism. We have confirmed photographs featuring both Charles V. Hamilton and Frank A. Thomas, and we believe that there are also photos of Ruth Simms Hamilton, Aileen C. Hernandez, J. Irwin Miller, C. Peter McColough, and Howard D. Samuel. The photos show them having talks and meeting locals. One shows Hamilton and we believe McColough at a talk on DWEP (The Domestic Workers and Employers Project); one shows Thomas with four locals, one of them holding an umbrella over Thomas' head; one shows Thomas outside of what appears to be a church, speaking to a man with a crowd of children surrounding them; and one shows a large gathering of people (Hamilton included) in hardhats and jumpsuits. There are also six photos taken at what we believe to be a mansion known as "Graceland" located in Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa. One is a view of what looks to be the back of the house taken from afar, then we see exterior shots of commissioners and others drinking coffee and chatting, and interior shots of them working. Later in the album, perhaps at Graceland, a curious photo shows three people looking from a second story railing and displaying a large cartoon. It's very hard to make out the caption in full but it mentions "the press." Also included is a bag of personal mementos: four home photographs of a child, two including a man, and one including a woman, a copy of *Pages of Time: 1929* (the year Hamilton was born) given to him for his 74th birthday, a card with a newspaper clipping announcing him being appointed professor of government at Columbia University, his daughter's (Carol) ID card from when she worked in the Office of the Secretary at the Department of Commerce as well as her business card from when she was the president of Cooper Hamilton Associates; and three other business cards, perhaps of associates. Based on the presentation we suspect that this album was a gift given to each of the eleven commissioners, though we cannot find another example of it. The album consists of 38 color photographs affixed to thick cardstock pages bound within an album of blue leather boards stamped in silver print on the front board with two lines of silver tooling on the spine. Boards worn, but overall a near fine album with the photos clean and bright. A behind the scenes look at the Study Commission on U.S. Policy Toward Southern Africa in the time of Apartheid.…
