Addressing the controversial issues of the blurring boundaries between news and entertainment and the movement toward sensationalism in broadcast journalism, this study examines these distinctions: how boundaries are constructed and by whom; how they are enforced or broken and why. Rather than reflecting essential attributes by which news can be distinguished from other kinds of communication, "boundary setting" is viewed as a social construction, determined and changed by journalists wishing to assert their jurisdiction and authority and the prestige of the profession. Four instances of "boundary-work rhetoric" are examined in depth: (1) the development of roles and "rules" of television journalism during the early years of television; (2) attempts at Congressional and FTC regulation--broadcasting codes defining "bona fide" news; (3) responses to a 1992 journalistic scandal over a "Dateline NBC" story on exploding GM pickup trucks, and (4) reporting sex scandals during recent political campaigns, such as the allegations of Gennifer Flowers of her involvement with Bill Clinton. In these and other cases, journalists developed strategies to minimize harm to the profession..

1925. More than 400 illustrations The author explains in the Foreword that: Now, just as in Gothic architecture, every portion of a cathedral or church had its symbolic significance, so has every item in the splendid altarpieces or mural paintings depicting the Divine Trinity, the Virgin Mary alone, or with Her Child, the Holy Family, the Evangelists and Apostles, the Fathers of the Church, the Patron Saints, the Monastic Orders, and so forth. In all such pictures the placing of the personages was effected according to hierarchal laws laid down by the Church, and in addition to the added enjoyment one can find in the understanding of what has hitherto been largely a sealed book-as far as laymen are concerned-the knowledge of these laws will often help in attributing a picture, and deducing, from the evidence on its face, its history and origin...and have endeavored to explain, in as few words as possible, the symbolic meaning of the costumes, accessories, and even the attitudes, of the personages of the Holy Trinity, of the Mother of Our Lord, and of the Saints...A wonderful and practical guide for students of Art..

In 1982, the author of this book issued a "promissory note" of just the sort that analytic philosophers of the twentieth century have led us to expect will come to nothing This particular "note" occurred as a passing remark in the concluding chapter of his Introducing Semiotic (Indiana University Press, p. 187, text and note 4) to the effect that it would be possible to establish the classical distinction between sense and intellect by means of the analysis of the role of relations in the action of signs.

Provoked by the remark of a colleague that, could this promissory note be fulfilled, it would provide "the first essay worth reading on the subject since the days of Locke and Hume," Deely decided to break with the analytic tradition of leaving promissory notes unfulfilled and to develop the alleged possible proof in full.

A colloquium convened by Professor Norma Tasca, in the Fall of 1995 in Porto, Portugal, provided Deely with the occasion. His lengthy essay for the occasion, ponderously titled "The Intersemiosis of Perception and Understanding," became the initial draft of this book.

Especially in the circles of English-speaking philosophers, where a mere difference of degree between animal intelligence and human understanding has come to be largely taken for granted and philosophy has been reduced to a play of linguistic signs without regard for the dependency of those signs upon other signs whose play is far from linguistic, the work is bound to stimulate considerable debate..

Good Spirits, Bad Spirits-How to Distinguish Between Them is an explanation of the invisible world of occult spirits, variously known in the New Age as "channeled Spirits,¿ spirits from God, God himself, spirits of sorcery or magic, and prophetic spirits.

Good Spirits gives the reader a broad overview of occult spirit Intentionality embodied in hidden goals and multi-generational plans. Given the benefit of an eternity in which to achieve their goals, occult spirits have honed the tricks of their supernatural trade to a fine art, the art of persuading humans. This skill is evident in channeled books such as Conversations with God and Messages from the Masters. Through channeling and other means of contact such as the "harmless¿ ouija board, occult spirits can wage spiritual and sometimes physical destruction in the lives of ordinary individuals.

The purpose of the spirits are most easily achieved through their creation of the famous personality, whom they shepherd from childhood. By lending their human agents the use of apparent occult powers, such as contacting of "the dead¿ and foreseeing the future, the spirits are able to spread their influence over the many, while concealing their own malicious motives..
