Star Trek Next GenerationABAA

Television History Star Trek The Next Generation First Season Production Playback Schedule Signed by Robert H. Justman 1987 to 1988

1987ref. 95631987. Justman Robert H. Star Trek: The Next Generation First Season Playback Schedule undated documents the production and playback coordination behind the inaugural season of the television series and provides evidence of the practical processes used to organize material for a major syndicated television production. Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted the week of September 28 1987 launching a seven-season series that ultimately ran through 1994. Justman was among the veterans of the original Star Trek brought into development of the new program and served as supervising producer during its first season; he participated in the series' early creative development and according to the Television Academy worked across matters ranging from set design to script development. The schedule therefore survives from the formative production environment in which Gene Roddenberry and members of the earlier Star Trek team were establishing the personnel procedures and creative framework of the revived franchise. Justman Robert H. Star Trek: The Next Generation First Season Playback Schedule. Undated first season 1987-1988. Signed "Bob Justman." Three pages. Internal playback schedule organizing first-season material offering a production-level record of how programming associated with the series was coordinated rather than a document created for public promotion or fandom. Its association with Justman is particularly relevant: he had worked as associate producer and later co-producer on the original Star Trek before returning two decades later as supervising producer of The Next Generation. The document thus connects two distinct periods of Star Trek production history through a producer directly involved in both and provides primary-source evidence for studying television production practices program coordination and the behind-the-scenes organization of the franchise's 1987 revival. The schedule belongs to the first season in which The Next Generation established a new cast Enterprise and production identity while deliberately drawing on personnel with experience on the original series. Contemporary accounts identify Justman as one of the figures involved in developing the project before production began and his first-season role placed him within the small group responsible for translating the proposed revival into an operating television series. Three pages complete as described signed "Bob Justman"; no date appears on the document. Minor handling wear if any; otherwise excellent corresponding to near fine condition. An unusually direct production document from the inaugural season of Star Trek: The Next Generation strengthened by the signature of a producer whose work connected the original 1960s series with its 1980s successor. unknown books

Only edition. Mary Saurin Sister Mary Scholastica Joseph brought a case against her superior and another nun for assault and conspiracy to drive her from her convent and have her expelled from the order. Known as "the great convent trial" it was a sensational case that fueled contemporary prejudices against Catholics monastic orders and women. These themes are apparent in the Solicitor-General's opening remarks. This case shows "what women were capable of when they shut themselves up from their kind and did violence to the instincts of their nature and the great though mean and petty cruelty they could wreak upon a sister in the name of a religion of love" 2. The jury found in favor of the defendants on the counts of assault and for the plaintiff on the counts of libel and conspiracy to have her expelled from the convent.
