praying the saloon shut -- 4/27/15
Today's selection -- from 1920 The Year that Made the Decade Roar by Eric Burns. Prohibition, the legislative act that banned alcohol in the United States, began in 1920. But the groundwork for Prohibition was laid in hundreds of protests and demonstrations over the many decades preceding 1920, and also in the staggeringly high alcohol consumption of Americans dating back to the very foundation of the country. One such protest happened in Hillsboro, Ohio in 1873:
"The groundwork for Prohibition [was] laid forty years before [World War I], with the prim, pious, but ultimately untiring membership of the so-called Women's Crusade, whose tactic, ingenious in its way, was to pray saloons shut. A cleric from Boston who found himself in the small southeastern Ohio town of Hillsboro as the Crusade was getting started in late December 1873 could not believe what he saw.
I came unexpectedly upon some fifty women kneeling on the pavement and stone steps before a [saloon] .... There were gathered here representatives from every household of the town. The day was ... cold; a cutting north wind swept the streets, piercing us all to the bones. The plaintive, tender, earnest tones of that wife and mother who was pleading in prayer, arose on the blast, and were carried to every heart within reach. Passers-by uncovered their heads, for the place whereon they trod was 'holy ground.' The eyes of hardened men filled with tears, and many turned away, saying that they could not bear to look upon such a sight. Then the voice of prayer was hushed; the women began to sing, softly, a sweet hymn with some old familiar words and tunes, such as our mothers sang to us in childhood days. We thought, Can mortal man resist such efforts?
"The answer, in the short term, was no. As men approached their favorite saloon and saw the women, among them their wives and daughters, kneeling not only on planked sidewalks but often in the dust that paved the streets, praying for abstinence, they were too embarrassed to enter the beverage emporium. They turned, feeling ashamed of themselves for what they had been about to do. They skulked away, hoping that loved ones had not seen them.
"The result was the 'Miracle of Hillsboro.' In two weeks, all twenty-one saloons in town had been prayed out of business. For a while.
The Crusade spread: 'east to Wheeling, West Virginia; northwest to Ripon, Wisconsin; southwest to Carthage, Missouri; and north to Minnesota.' The results, however, were not always similar to those in Hillsboro.
Sometimes bartenders 'baptized' the women with buckets of warm, sudsy beer, dumping the liquid over their heads so that they would return home from their labors smelling not of triumph but of conversion to the other side. On one occasion, and a bitterly cold one at that, a saloonkeeper turned a powerful spray of water on the crusaders, causing [historian Herbert] Asbury to remark that the 'line of praying crusaders resembled a row of icicles.' And in yet another town, a gang of thugs who had been deputized by the mayor to enforce a spur-of-the-moment decree against public praying threw a seventy-year-old woman down a flight of stairs and, after she landed, struck her on the arms a number of times with wooden clubs.
"The problem with the Women's Crusade was that its effects could not last. There were almost always more saloons in a town than there were groups of women to pray before them. The Crusaders might close one establishment with their piety, but the next remained open. When the women moved on to the next, the imbibers simply sneaked out the back door of that joint and returned to the first. Their shame had been brief; their thirst endured. In the long term, especially when viewed from a distance, the Women's Crusade was little more than a game. Musical saloons. The habitués always won. Nonetheless, a start toward a dry America, futile though it turned out to be, had been made."

LAOS: Christian pastor will avoid jail if he promises not to preach for a year
by admin_HRWF | May 19, 2021 | Freedom of Religion and Belief
Premier Christian News (14.05.2021) – https://bit.ly/3bEeaT3 – A Christian pastor, held in police detention in the Southeast Asian country of Laos for a year, has been spared jail after he was made to sign documents swearing not to preach until 2022.
A court convicted Sithon Thippavong, 35, in April of "disrupting unity" and "creating disorder" after he was found to have held church services in Savannakhet province without government permission.
The church leader, who started his ministry among villagers in southern Savannakhet in 2011, was arrested on 15th March, 2020.
Local sources told Open Doors that Sithon was made to sign a document before his release in which he promised not to preach or organise other Christian activities until March 2022.
Open Doors believes he also had to pay the equivalent of £360 for court fees and jail costs in order to be released.
Mr Thippavong was given a one-year prison sentence but released three days later, on account of the year he had spent in pre-trial detention.
Local Christians told Radio Free Asia they were glad of the pastor's release. "We're very excited that he's still alive and was finally saved by God," said one. "He may have been sick and frail in prison, but now he'll be very happy to be able to serve God again."
The US State Department has noted 'significant human rights issues' in Laos, including restrictions on the freedom of expression, association and religion.
Laos' communist government is currently monitoring Christian activity heavily.
Gatherings must be notified to the administration and house churches must operate clandestinely as they are considered 'illegal gatherings'.
Thomas Muller, persecution analyst for Open Doors' World Watch Research unit says that although a 2019 Law on the Evangelical Church gives Lao Christians the right to meet for worship and prayer, it is often not being implemented in practice.
"Village leaders, religious and animist leaders view Christians – converts in particular – as angering the spirits and bringing trouble to the community," he said.
One Christian in northern Laos, who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons, told Open Doors he and his wife had been targeted by those in their village because of their faith.
They had been forced to leave their village, had their pigs poisoned, had their rice farm set on fire, and their children faced discrimination at school.
In October 2020, seven Christians were evicted from their homes in southern Saravan province because of their faith, and upon return to the village were stopped from rebuilding their demolished houses.

The Naked Truth: 30% of US Unicorns Have No Patents. It seems that not a day goes by without a commentary about Unicorns, a Silicon Valley-coined term used to describe a startup (pre-exit) with a valuation exceeding $1 billion.
The number of Unicorns, the vast majority of which are US software companies, has recently crossed the 150 mark, according to the TechCrunch Unicorn leaderboard. Topping the US Unicorn list are high flyers like Uber at $51 billion and Airbnb at $25.5 billion, followed by companies that are mostly concentrated in three industries: Consumer Internet, E-commerce and Software. Unicorns have captured the attention of investors, analysts and other market observers who are trying to understand the factors driving the formidable valuations commanded by these mythical ventures and, in some cases, bet on their future, or even announce their sudden demise.
The Data Sample: Over 65% Are Software Companies Our Findings: Value Distribution Not Correlated with IP Distribution Should Unicorn Investors be Alarmed by the IP Gap? 2015 Tech IPO Pipeline Report - CB Insights. The 2015 Tech IPO Pipeline has 588 investor-backed private technology companies in the United States today with valuations, real or rumored, of greater than $100 million and who are demonstrating significant momentum based on our proprietary private company Mosaic ratings.
Like last year's list, the 2015 Tech IPO Pipeline currently represents the cream of the crop within investor portfolios, and those companies that may be on their way to an IPO given sustained product, market and financing momentum. Of course, it should be explicitly mentioned that not all of these 588 companies will make it to an IPO next year or ever.
Many have just crossed the $100M valuation threshold and, with the time to IPO increasing significantly, have their work cut out for them before they can even ponder the option of going public. Others among this group will never actually breakthrough to the level needed to be deemed public market worthy, or will be acquired along the way. New York trounces Massachusetts. The Naked Truth: 30% of US Unicorns Have No Patents. ETFs suffer from a 'chessboard' problem. The story goes that a ruler of India was so pleased with one of his palace wise men, who had invented the game of chess, that he offered him a reward of his own choosing.
The man, being a mathematician, told the ruler that he would like just one grain of rice on the first square of the chess board, double that number on the second square, and double that number on each of the next 62 squares. While the first half of the chessboard could manage the amount of rice requested, the second part of the chessboard should have contained more rice than available in the palace. Since a chessboard has 64 squares, the number of grains is 263 (9,223,372,036,854,775,808) — that's over 9 quintillion. We think exchange traded funds have reached a second-half-of-the-chessboard threshold. ETFs are a great idea if they serve an investment objective to gain exposure to a specific index, sector or asset class.
We consider the third quarter of 2015 to be a disaster for the ETF industry. Nine Out of Ten of the Internet's Top Websites Are Leaking Your Data. The vast majority of websites you visit are sending your data to third-party sources, usually without your permission or knowledge.
That's not exactly breaking news, but the sheer scale and ubiquity of that leakage might be. Tim Libert, a privacy researcher with the University of Pennsylvania, has published new peer-reviewed research that sought to quantify all the "privacy compromising mechanisms" on the one million most popular websites worldwide. His conclusion? "Findings indicate that nearly 9 in 10 websites leak user data to parties of which the user is likely unaware." Libert used his own open source software called webXray—the same program he's used in the past to analyze trackers installed on health and porn websites—and he found that not only were most siphoning user data, they were sharing it all over the place.
In other words, when you visit a website—say, Airbnb.com, Yahoo.com, or Motherboard.tv—that site will likely forward your user data to nine other, outside websites. Is Your Company Encouraging Employees to Share What They Know? Many of the things we need to know to be successful – to innovate, collaborate, solve problems, and identify new opportunities – aren't learned simply through schooling, training, or personal experience.
Especially for today's knowledge-based work, much of what we need to know we learn from others' experiences, through what's called vicarious learning. Organizations know this learning is important, which is why they invest significant resources in handbooks, protocols, formal mentoring programs, and knowledge management systems to share employees' experiences. Yet analyst estimates suggest that the companies in the Fortune 500 still lose a combined $31.5 billion per year from employees failing to share knowledge effectively. By trying to recreate the wheel, repeating others' mistakes, or wasting time searching for specialized information or expertise, employees incur productivity costs and opportunity costs for the organization.

HelloGold selected to present at UN
Posted on 19 September 2019 in Volume 3 Issue 4 by IFN Fintech
Malaysia's HelloGold is one of a handful invited by the United Nations Secretary-General's Task Force on Digital Financing on the Sustainable Goals, through the Digital Finance for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Challenge, to present at its inaugural invite-only summit running on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, a validation of Islamic fintech at an international level as a vehicle for impact and sustainable development.
One of two Malaysian start-ups, along with several start-ups in India, to be invited after a rigorous selection process, to present on tech efforts in addressing long-standing development challenges, HelloGold is understood to be the only one with a Shariah compliant fintech proposition. The Challenge was organised by the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) FinLab. The judging panel included representatives from UNCDF, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, Bank Negara Malaysia and Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre.
The 'Good Servant, Poor Master: Capturing the Promise and Managing the Risk of Financial Technology for a Sustainable World' forum, taking place on the 27th September at UN headquarters, will gather 200 head of states, finance ministers, central bank governors, and leaders from development organizations and the technology sector, to put forward an actionable set of recommendations for ways that the digital revolution could be harnessed to advanced the UN SDGs.
"It is indeed a huge honor to be selected – we are immensely proud and humbled. This is an opportunity for us to showcase what we are trying to do with HelloGold to an audience of policymakers, that potentially could help us to get into emerging markets and see value in what we are trying to achieve," HelloGold CEO Robin Lee shared with IFN Fintech.
Since its launch in 2017, HelloGold has onboarded over 138,000 users in Malaysia and Thailand (with plans to expand to Indonesia and Dubai onto its Shariah compliant gold savings platform, which allows users to purchase gold for as low as 25 US cents. From its customer base, 70% are first-time investors in gold – demonstrating the start-up's ability in creating new demand for the popular asset class – and more significantly, relevant to the SDGs, US$675,000-worth of transactions were conducted by women, out of which 81% belong to the low to moderate income bracket. This directly correlates to two of the 17 SDGs: the first goal of no poverty and 10th which is reduced inequalities.
This invitation is a testament to Islamic fintech as an effective medium for financial inclusion and positive impact, as well as is a testament to the quality of Malaysian start-ups at an international level. HelloGold in 2018 was also recognized by the World Economic Forum ASEAN for its work in financial inclusion.

Summer peace parade, downtown Lindsay, 1919.
Walking through history: Remembering downtown Lindsay 100 years ago
Published on February 19, 2019 in Just in Time	by Ian McKechnie
Imagine strolling through Lindsay's historic boroughs 100 years ago, in 1919. What might life have been like, behind the scenes and within the businesses that once drove our economy? What thoughts and emotions coursed through the minds and hearts of local citizens? Imagination – and a little research – are powerful tools. They transpose me from the streets on which I stroll today…to the Lindsay of a century ago.
Lindsay, mid-spring, 1919.
Before venturing into the heart of commercial Lindsay, I pause to admire the Ross Memorial Hospital, standing proudly on a height of land adjacent to Kent and Angeline Streets. The 16-going-on-17-year-old Ross is generously supported by the community it serves, and this support apparently extends to the new Isolation Hospital at the corner of Colborne and Angeline.
"'Tis a real credit to the town!" gushes Mrs. Hungerford, president of the Lindsay Women's Institute, whom I happen to encounter on the front lawn of the Ross, where she has just paid a visit to an institute member, currently recovering from a fall.
"The ladies of the Lindsay Women's Institute and the West Ops Women's Institute have poured their hearts into seeing to it that we have a comfortable, modern facility at our disposal should Lindsay ever be plagued with a disease requiring isolation," Mrs. Hungerford tells me.
I nod in agreement, remembering that this year and last have seen record numbers of Canadians hospitalized with the dreaded influenza epidemic.
Mrs. Hungerford and I exchange a few more pleasantries, before I tip my cap and move along. Lindsay's citizens are clearly proud of their healthcare facilities, a pride no doubt intensified by the good work of Ross nursing graduates in Europe over the past four years.
Walking briskly in an easterly direction, I soon reach the corner of Kent Street and Victoria Avenue, where I'm held up by a passing train returning from the north country. The smoke and cinders waft over Victoria Park, where the Citizens' Band is playing some jaunty tunes. I wait patiently, my ears taking in the strains of "Goodbye France" and "Smiles," among other chart-toppers.
At last, the caboose rattles by and I cross the street, passing the library and reaching the busy intersection of Cambridge and Kent, where I'm just about run down by a speed demon in his new Gray Dort touring car.
"Watch where yer' goin'!" shouts the man behind the wheel, shaking his forefinger menacingly. The machine roars off down Cambridge Street in a cloud of dust and exhaust.
"Damned drivers!" exclaims an older gentleman in a straw hat leaning up against a light-pole, having witnessed my near-tragic encounter with the Chatham, Ontario-built Gray Dort. "Them contraptions are a menace, snortin' and rattlin' through here. Reckon he paid $1,500 for that thing. Hope your heart isn't racin' after that.
"No, sir," I reply, with a half-smile. We go our separate ways.
Looking down Kent Street, I'm astounded at just how quickly Lindsay has progressed in her embrace of the motorcar. Parked up and down this widest of Ontario's thoroughfares are Fords, Gray Dorts, Maxwells, and Overlands, interspersed with horses and wagons. No doubt they are bringing postwar prosperity to local dealers like R.F. Thomas's Lindsay Motor Works – but one wonders what sort of impact this age of automotive adulation will have on the town in the years to come.
I move on. Downtown Lindsay is a bustling place on this slightly overcast day in 1919. People are going in and out of shops, patronizing a bounty of businesses, some with pedigrees that stretch back to pre-Confederation times. I glance up at the signs mounted over the awnings which have long been in vogue for downtown businesses. Allin's Ltd. (hardware). R. Neill Ltd. (boots and shoes). Sutcliffe & Sons (Lindsay's answer to an urban department store).
Reaching the corner of Kent and William Streets, I duck into Edmund Gregory's drugstore – one of the oldest apothecaries in the Dominion, I'm told. But I'm not looking for a cure to any ailment. Gregory's is the local distributor for Kodak camera and film supplies, and I'm keen to capture what I can of Lindsay as it appears in 1919. I change my mind, however, when I realize that I will have to wait for my pictures to be developed – even though Mr. Gregory promises that he can have them developed and printed quickly.
Being so used to uploading pictures on to social media platforms at once, I bristle inwardly at the suggestion that I can "come back in two weeks" to see my prints.
Instead, I politely thank Mr. Gregory, purchase a bottle of Coca-Cola, hastily drink its saccharine contents, and head back outside, anxious to continue my journey. The world I come from, a world of instant news, instant coffee, and Instagram is increasingly incompatible with the good old-fashioned virtue of patience.
Though I could easily spend many an hour admiring the streetscape that has made Lindsay known far and wide across Ontario, I want to meet some of the local folks who make their homes and livelihoods here. They, after all, are what give life and meaning to bricks-and-mortar. I glance across the street and see a sign for the Big 20 Café, which, I'm told, has recently been remodelled and refitted. I glance at my watch. It's 12:22 PM. The height of lunchtime. There must be a good crowd in there now. I stroll across Kent Street and hasten over to the Big 20. A man is peddling for coins out front and I toss him a dollar on my way in.
The place smells of coffee, hot beef sandwiches, and French toast. 'All you can eat for 20 cents,' a colourful sign mounted on the counter proclaims. I make my way over to a table at the back, take off my coat, and order a cup of tea. My ears perk up as I listen to conversations emanating from the tables around me. Folks are talking about who has recently come home from the war last year and who hasn't. Others are having lively debates about prohibition, the problems facing rural schools, and the state of Lindsay's roads – most of which are still awaiting asphalt.
Not too far away, at one of the ladies' tables, two young women are engaged in earnest conversation about the current state of employment.
"It's an outrage, Hazel!" exclaims one. "We proved in working at the arsenal that a woman can run machinery just as well as a man, and now that the war's over, we're being told that it's our 'patriotic duty' to turn our jobs over to the chaps returnin' from the war."
"'Patriotic duty my foot!'" replies the other, indignantly poking a fork at her raisin pie. "I'd rather be turnin' out a product than turnin' in my badge just because conditions have returned to normal."
"Ah, but they haven't Hazel," returns the other. "The new normal will see us girls take our places in the world of commerce and industry in a way that this town, this country, this Empire has never seen before. As soon as we finish here, we're going to march over to Mr. Horn's woollen mill and see if he can't take us on. Belgium and Romania need Canada's wool, and Alex Horn needs us!"
Their voices drop to a whisper, and I glance at the menu in front of me, all the while casting glances about the restaurant. The folks behind the counter are beaming, no doubt enthralled with the news that the Canada Food Board recently lifted restrictions placed on restaurants during the war. But other faces betray a hint of anxiety about the future. Their world, like the one I've come from a century later, remains fragile and uncertain.
A piping hot cup of tea is placed before me. I take a sip, the steam fogging up my glasses, clouding out this vignette of Lindsay in 1919…
It's hard for us today to imagine what life was like a century ago in Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Kinmount, Omemee, and other fine communities across Kawartha Lakes. Technology has forever changed our lives, food prices have gone up dramatically, and the traditional industries which kept these communities afloat for over 100 years have shuffled off their mortal coils as global economies and consumer tastes change like the weather.
And yet, much remains the same. Like Mrs. Hungerford and the Lindsay Women's Institute, we take pride in our healthcare facilities. Local pharmacists carry on the tradition of courteous, personal service that once defined establishments like Edmund Gregory's drugstore. And like the Big 20 of gastronomical memory, our restaurants remain popular gathering spots to converse at lunchtime – to live and laugh among our family, friends and neighbours.
In the end, as ordinary Canadians, we carry forward as best we can, in all the ways we can, and trust that we will be rewarded with lives worth living.

How To On Board With: Raimi Merritt
On Board With: Raimi Merritt
Professional wakeboarder Raimi Merritt talks travel, tournaments and training.
By Heather Steinberger
When Raimi Merritt first strapped on a wakeboard at the tender age of 11, she had no idea that she'd soon be following in the formidable wake of her father, former World Champion and professional barefoot water-skier Steve Merritt. Now 21, Merritt is an eight-time World Cup champion and is sponsored by Nautique Boats, Hyperlite Wakeboards and a host of others. She lives and trains in Orlando, Florida.
How, and when, did you discover wakeboarding?
When we were growing up, my dad taught me, my brother and my two sisters to water-ski. We learned two-ski, one-ski and barefooting, and I did that until I was 11. My dad had seen the wakeboarders and had trained some of them in barefooting back in the day. He saw a lot of potential in me, so I tried it. It clicked right away, and six months later, I was competing.
When did you realize that you were destined to go pro?
I would always win the amateur tournaments. I earned five national titles and five worlds. I'd go on the podium, and the announcers would say, "Raimi, when are you going to go pro?" I trained with Tara Hamilton, and I knew I really wanted to do it.
How was pro different?
The pros are doing tricks that haven't been done before, and they're pushing harder. I had to step up my game and train harder to make it to the final round. And I had to train harder for conditions, because there would be days when it would be rolling, rough, raining. You have to be prepared.
What kind of boat do you usually ride behind?
For me, the best wakeboard boat in the world is a Super Air Nautique G23. I use a 77.5-foot rope, and our speed is usually around 23.7 miles per hour.
You've traveled all over the world. What are some of your favorite spots?
I loved Dubai and Australia. In fact, I'm leaving for Australia for the first tournament of the season in a couple of weeks. I'll be in Canada this year too, and I'll be going back to Indonesia.
What does your offseason look like?
In the offseason, everyone's training and learning new tricks. I try to ride two times per day, five or six days a week. I work out every day and have a trainer three times a week. I also use the trampoline and practice yoga. Because I participate in the U.S. and international pro wakeboard tours, my season usually runs from the second week of March until November.
When you have some time off, do you like to get away from the water?
No, I play in the water. I love surfing and going to the beach. And the cable parks make wakeboarding with friends so much fun.
After more than six years on the pro circuit, do you still love wakeboarding?
I think I love it more now than I did in the beginning. I want to do it for a very long time. It's something different, something new. It's an up-and-coming sport, and it feels like it has no limits.

The Rise, Fall & Post Mortem of Braniff International. #avgeek
By R.D. Sussmann-Dewberry
Courtesy Boston Public Library
Today Senior Contributor R.D. Sussmann-Dewberry returns with a stellar three part series on the history of Braniff International. He has previously written fantastic pieces about the modern rise of Delta, the new American Airlines, the History of Low Cost Carriers, United Airlines, the History of Air Shuttles, The Middle East 3, Alaska's purchase of Virgin America, United's Polaris and Slim Line Seats. He has been involved with the airline industry for over 20 years and is an active travel consultant and airline analyst. R.D. is also a huge #Avgeek, a theme park enthusiast and a friend.
Part I: Braniff – from Stinsons to Flying Colors
Part II: Braniff – Ultra Colors, ultra problems.
Part III: Braniff – Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it
In my history of aviation, dating as far back as 1977, there is one entrant that stands out as being remarkable to this day: Braniff International. While I never got to experience this colorful carrier, it has always been a focus of my history & my study of the airline industry. What follows is a history of the carrier in three parts, and a look as to what brought down the carrier, despite the financial success of most of its history.
Braniff's roots begin with a small operation in the Central Midwest – namely, Oklahoma & Kansas, where Paul & Tom Braniff operated a small feederline starting in 1928. This short feederline carrier was absorbed by Universal Aviation in 1929, and the Brothers Braniff moved their sights a bit further south, to Dallas & Ft. Worth Texas. Operating a starter route between Dallas, Wichita Falls & Oklahoma City, Braniff Airways expanded into new markets throughout the central heartland of the United States, spreading northward towards Minneapolis/St. Paul, and south to the border.
Along with Tom Braniff, Charles Beard took some element of control and would continue to grow the carrier through several mergers & route expansions, including access to South America & Mexico. In 1954, Tom Braniff died, ending the Braniff family lineage in the carrier. Charles Beard took the full helm of the carrier, and continued to nurture the carrier forward.
Courtesy 1950s Unlimited
The 1950s brought Braniff into the start of the Jet Age. Very rare Boeing 707-227s, a more powerful variant of the 707 jetliner were ordered for use on their longer legs which now reached coast to coast. An attention to service (a hallmark of Braniff's legacy) brought the introduction of El Dorado Super Jets to South America later on. Lockheed Electra Turboprops filled in where the jets couldn't go, and Braniff was a modestly profitable company, though unknown in many regions as they simply didn't go there. To cause further issues, Beard's conservative image for the carrier combined with slow growth brought in changes in the structure of the carrier – ones that would be far reaching in every way.
The Great America corporation purchased control of Braniff in 1964. C. Edward Acker would go through the carrier, and began to seek better alternatives. By the end of the year, Harding Lawrence of Continental Airlines would take the reins, and Beard was oustered from the board, leaving the carrier he helped grow.
The End of the Plain Plane
Lawrence quickly set to work on Braniff. The airline had been proactive in ordering short-haul jets, namely the British Aircraft Corporation 1-11, as well as ordering the 727-100… but Lawrence saw a sleeping giant in Dallas. Calling in the marketing team from Tinker & Associates, he met Mary Wells, an advertising designer with whom many companies trusted their image. She took over the marketing side of the carrier, and prepared to alter the image of Braniff: A stout, small regional carrier with South American routes into a much bolder, brighter carrier. And her methods were not like anybody had seen in the industry anywhere.
Emilio Pucci decorated the Hostesses (Flight Attendants now), Alexander Girard did the visual 'look' of the airline, and Mary Wells handled the paint. In the end, Braniff International rolled out seven different color schemes – all from a very 1960's pallette – ranging from Signal Orange to Ochre, to Grass Green to Electric Blue. Combine this with a massive advertising blitz rolling out the End of the Plain Plane, and news coverage followed… followed by the passengers.
Braniff's new look was not only popular, it was Haute Coture. Loads surged, profits blistered, and Braniff was starting to shine and outgrow its older, more staid image. Additional routes were added through the blessings of the Civil Aeronautics Board, including routes to Hawaii, Florida & beyond. 1967 brought the merger with PANAGRA, a primarily South American based carrier, and Braniff's planes were seen all over the Americas, in ever-growing numbers.
Into the 1970's
By 1970, the industry was changing rapidly. Braniff's new look began to look a bit faded in light of new color schemes by other carriers. And the industry was at a major junction: The 747, Lockheed L1011 & McDonnell Douglas DC-10 were coming, and while the other major carriers were busy ordering large fleets of these jets, Lawrence ordered only two 747s, of which only one was discovered. But it was remarkable in so many ways: The entire plane was bright orange. "The Great Pumpkin" or "The Big Orange" flew a single route for Braniff – their hallmark Dallas-Honolulu run for most of its career.
Braniff 747. Photo by Marada Circa 1980's
The early 1970s meant two things in the industry: Steep recession, leading to financial distress at many carriers – and strong, steady profits at Braniff. The reason was clear: Braniff's route network, though suited for the DC-10 & L1011, were better optimized by smaller (And far less expensive) 727 jets. While other carriers were cutting frequency, replacing them with a single widebody jet, Braniff was adding frequency and high-yield business passengers at the same time. Airlines had a hard time competing in Tornado Alley – from Minneapolis to Dallas – where Braniff's strong, frequent schedule allowed passengers many choices. Their low debt structure allowed higher profits, and the image generated traffic.
In 1972, Braniff rolled out their next set of colors – a bit muted from the original End Of the Plain Plane image – but just as vibrant & colorful. The Flying Colors image introduced four color schemes fleet wide, and again refreshed their branding & image. Braniff's brightly colored planes could be seen everywhere coast to coast, and the name traded highly as a result. The Braniff name would soon grace the world's largest (and fastest) piece of art – a DC-8 painted by Alexander Calder. "Flying Colors of South America" debuted and was soon seen throughout the South American route system, as well as occasional forays into the domestic network. In 1976, a 727-200 would join her brother as Flying Colors of the United States, in time for the Bicentennial of the USA. Braniff was flying high.

What made the 1970s good for Braniff was a mix of image, fleet, routes & service. Having a primary fleet of 727 aircraft for domestic service kept things simple & flowing, and made plane change outs easy if there were issues. Having the DC-8 for South America allowed for simplicity of operations south of Miami. These moves kept costs lower, even as fuel began to rise in light of the Oil Crisis of 1973. Offering a superior service and schedule kept planes full of high-yield traffic. And having a well developed & tight system of routes meant operations were kept flowing constantly, despite being in a region known for some of the worst weather in the country. Braniff's constant attention to these aspects is a credit to the incredible employees.
As 1976 rolled on, it was decided to update the look again of Braniff. From the top to the bottom, Harper & George were brought in to overhaul Braniff for the end of the decade. At the same time, Alfred E. Kahn and the Civil Aeronautics Board had a plan to overhaul the entire airline industry from the air down…

Interlitq's Californian Poets Interview Series: Cole Swensen, Poet, Translator, Professor, interviewed by David Garyan
Interlitq's Californian Poets Interview Series:
Cole Swensen, Poet, Translator, and Professor
interviewed by David Garyan
Cole Swensen's poems to appear soon in Interlitq's California Poets Feature
DG: Let's approach your work in the most sensible way—the process of translation. Borges's idea of the translation becoming an original, or Ken Liu's idea—very much connected to George Steiner—that all acts are miracles of translation both come to mind. You've done a great deal in bringing French writers into English. How has this informed your own creative vision?
CS: First, I'm struck by your thought that the most sensible way to enter a writer's work is through the work that she does with others—Thank you! I like that very much—and in part because it begins us with the notion of fluidity—of one person's work flowing into another's, eroding the notion of writing as individual, and emphasizing that writing is always to some degree a communal project. Thinking more specifically, translating others' poetry has given me access to forms and tones that I probably wouldn't have found otherwise. It was through translating that I began to see, many years ago, the possibility of the book rather than the individual poem as the basic poetic unit. And I know that I've also picked up rhythms from French that are different from Egnlish rhythms; the French approach to the prose poem is a bit different as well, perhaps more matter-of-fact, and I think I've absorbed that as well.
DG: How do you choose what to translate? Do the writers' personalities draw you to their words, or is it the unique way in which they use language?
CS: I'm drawn to translation as a conversation, a conversation around poetics. All the people I've translated were living at the time—and most still are—and in all cases, I've talked the translation over with them in detail, which always leads beyond the specific work to its larger contexts and to the principles of thought, creativity, imagination, etc. that direct the work. Those conversations are extremely rewarding, and they inform the way I read other works—in both English and French—as well. I think of translation as a form of reading, the most intense and engaged form possible. I almost always meet the work before the writer, and it's when I find myself wanting to write the line I'm reading—it's not a feeling of "Ah, I wish I'd written that!" but rather of "I would love to write that!" I think it's not sufficiently emphasized that translation is not just decoding and recoding; it's also, and above all, writing.
DG: How much liberty should a translator be allowed—in other words, if you see the opportunity to improve something, do you follow that path, or is it better to remain ever-faithful to the original?
CS: What constitutes an improvement is extremely subjective. What I might consider an improvement, the writer might consider ghastly. But beyond that, translation for me has nothing to do with judging the text, of thinking whether it's "good" or whether it could be "better"; it's about engaging with it, and the deepest engagement is not necessarily the one that sticks to it the most literally, but the one that most deeply grasps its specific terms and aims and recreates them as much as possible. I'm committed to presenting the work as the writer would have written it had he, she, or they been writing originally in English.
DG: You travel often to Europe. What would you say are the most notable differences between how poetry is appreciated and promoted in North America, compared to France, or Germany, for example?
CS: I can't say for Germany—in fact, I can really only say for France—and it seems to me that it's oddly similar. And I say oddly, because there are so many cultural differences between France and the US, but poetry is, in a sense, its own culture separate from the one it's surrounded by (like all airports, taken together, form their own country). This is perhaps particularly true of France and the US because there has been such a long history of poetic friendship and exchange. There have been several books, a couple quite recently, that detail these exchanges. Especially during the 20th and 21st centuries, the two poetries have importantly informed each other. In the late 20th century, there was Emmanuel Hocquard's important project "Bureau sur l'Atlantique," which engaged with experimental poetics from the Objectivists through the Language Poets, paralleled by Juiliette Valery's series of publications, Format Américain, and later, beginning in the 2000's, a bi-national group, Double Change, has been fundamental in a series of readings, conferences, and publications that bring North American work to French attention. In the other direction, Rosmarie & Keith Waldrop's Burning Deck Press published many French poets over its 60 years, and other presses have also focused on contemporary French work.
But often influences are less obvious. A good example might be the important influence that France and French poetry had on Ashbery. If we then think, in turn, of how important Ashbery's influence has been on American poetry from the late 20th century on—so many American poets who wouldn't think of themselves as influenced by anything French have been through Ashbery—and through many others of his generation and those immediately following. And earlier, think how many of the modernists spent serious time in France and with French work. The same is true regarding the influence of some American writers on French poets—so there's a lot of entwined shaping that many poets are not necessarily aware of. As for the contemporary moment, in both countries, poetry is equally marginalized and largely published by small presses devoted to the form for the love of it.
DG: Over the years, you've emphasized the importance walking has had on your creativity. In the philosophical tradition, Nietzsche was perhaps the most fervent adherent to physical movement, at least in relation to creativity: "Sit as little as possible; do not believe any idea that was not born in the open air and of free movement—in which the muscles do not also revel." And yet, the poet must eventually sit down to write. What were some particularly memorable walks for you, and did they lead to the best poems you wrote?
CS: That quotation, particularly the "in which the muscles do not also revel" is so key—that thinking and writing must also have a kinetic aspect. Though I don't think it has to be as thorough as, say, walking. You cannot write without the hand's being active—whether you're writing by hand or on a keyboard—the hand or hands are dancing, and I've always been struck by how many writers enjoy not only letting their imaginations go, but also enjoy the physical act of writing. I began a fairly recent book, On Walking On, with the question of why, for as long as such things have been recorded, so many writers are also inveterate walkers, and it's interesting to me that the ensuing book didn't end up persuing the question; it instead wallowed in the experiences of such writers as presented through their writing. Clearly, so many writers have thrived on the complete fusion of the two activities—perhaps it's because the mind works so differently when the body is active.
DG: European towns—for the most part—are built very differently from cities in the US. Even in big urban areas, everything seems to be in closer proximity, meant to be explored on foot, while North American metropoles are vast, spread out, and this especially in the West. Coming from California, having lived on the East Coast, and experienced Europe, do you feel that any given setting changes your writing, or do you find that the length of your sentences, for example, stays mostly constant?
CS: I like that idea! That a more extensive space might extend the line, but I don't find that to be true. That said, I do think setting affects my work. Because of Covid, I spent most of 2020 and 2021 in California, just north of San Francisco. And whether there's any connection or not, I don't know, but my writing changed completely—much more subject based and based on immediate surroundings. I'm currently on a sabbatical in France, and that focus on the immediate has continued.
DG: In the introduction to your most recent book, Art in Time, you talk about the need to engage "the landscape genre in a fluid way," in a way that "puts the landscape back into motion," in order to find alternatives to some of the presumptions and practices of landscape art common to Euro-centric contexts." Indeed, you've also said elsewhere that landscapes are never silent, though they often appear that way to us. What's the best way to reorient the perception of our own surroundings? Can poetry help us do this, and, if so, what are some of your favorite poems in this respect?
CS: Yes I do think that poetry can reorient our perceptions and perspective, and often does so through the "startle." Which is not an epiphany—that supposed sudden quasi-spiritual realization that is often closer to emotional manipulation—I'm thinking instead of those startling moments triggered by unusual uses of language; they're often just about shifting perspective, suddenly de-habituating the scene. Shklovsky used the term "ostranenie"—defamiliarization, and though it's a heavily-theorized term that been around for a long time, I think it's a valuable concept and an even more valuable device that allows language to operate constructively on our modes of perception.
Regarding landscape, I'm interested in recognizing a continuity, an inclusivity, that involves everything in sight including the viewer because I think it changes structures of responsibility. Clearly, we as a species, need to take a dramatically different kind of responsibility, which I don't think we can do as long as we see ourselves as separate from nature and perpetuate distinctions such observer/observed.
DG: With David St. John, you edited a fascinating anthology of poetry, American Hybrid, with the aim of closing the gap between traditional and experimental poetry. Thirteen years after its publication, do you feel that the margin has been closed, or has it perhaps widened unexpectedly?
CS: What interested me at that point, and still does, is a shift from a perception of American poetry as on a linear continuum from the traditional to the experimental—of course that linearity wasn't "true," but it was often talked of in that way. It seemed to me that from the 1990s on, there has been an profusion of different tendencies that increasingly cannot be mapped in relation to each other. It's an exploded field, expanding outward in all directions, full of tendencies that resist comparison—and I think that that's an extremely promising mode of development; may it continue.
DG: Would you say that those working in the "experimental" genre have perhaps—and in this case, rather unfairly—born a burden that isn't necessarily only theirs to bear? In other words, many formalists and lyricists, for example, are also trying to do new things with language—tackling taboo subjects, for example, or pushing the boundaries of metaphor, all the while remaining dedicated to their artistic fields; these experiments, however, are sadly not considered "experiments," but rather interpreted as the "creative impulse," which, in my view, cheapens the effort of crossing new aesthetic frontiers. Can we really say, hence, there's an actual difference between creative uses of language and linguistic experimentation?
CS: I'm going to start with the end of the question—yes, I think there is a difference, but I think that the differing cultural values assigned to various practices are inaccurate and unproductive. All language uses have their value—and that value is always determined by the reader/hearer; it's not inherent in the language use itself. I happen to be very interested in unprecedented uses of language, in broken language and its relationship to the limits of the sayable, and, ultimately, I'm probably more interested in the unsayable than the sayable, and certainly in the volatile boundary between them because I think that's where the potential for the "startle" mentioned above lies, where our capacity to use language to expand what we can think and feel is based. But many people would not agree and would, instead, find that same potential elsewhere—in tackling taboo subjects, for instance. And I don't mean to dissolve into a mush of relativism, but to discourage an endless tendency that we all seem to have to judge—to assign definitive value—which is actually simply lazy; we do it just so that we can say "Good, that's settled. I don't have to think about it anymore." Which is an error; we do have to keep on thinking about it, whatever it is; we can never allow anything to settle, or, rather, nothing ever does settle, and if we view it as such, we're fooling ourselves. This is related to the view of landscape as always fluid that you mentioned above. That reality of the concrete world follows through to every aspect of living.
DG: You teach writing and literature at Brown's reputable Literary Arts program. There have been rabbit-hole debates about the benefits of teaching writing. Without getting into that, what are things writing programs can do and what are their limitations? In addition, it would be interesting to hear how teaching informs your own creative process.
CS: Writing programs, above all, can give people two or three years to focus almost exclusively on writing and among a variety of resources—courses, libraries, other writers. MFAs allow them to completely immerse themselves in aesthetic questions and their relations to politics, culture, and society. And that, for most people, is a transformative process. No matter what they do afterward, they'll do it with a different perspective. Regarding limitations—they are based on presumptions. If people think a writing program will, for instance, make them better writers, they'll likely be disappointed, but if instead, they simply presume that it's going to change them, and remain open about the directions such change might take, they'll probably get more out of it. It's hard for me to say how teaching informs my own writing practice as I have no basis for comparison—I've been teaching since I was 20 years old, so it's inseparable from my writing.
