Horton Foote on contemporary drama
No full textA production of Public Affairs Television, Inc. ; a presentation of Thirteen/WNET New York ; directed by Mark Ganguzza. Host: Bill Moyers; interviewee: Horton Foote. Program editor: Larry Goldfine ; executive producer: Felice Firestone ; senior executive producer: John Siceloff ; executive editor: Judith Davidson Moyers ; music by Douglas J. Cuomo.One of America's leading dramatists, Horton Foote has accumulated a wealth of professional honors over his 60-plus-year career -- the National Medal of Arts, two Oscars, a Pulitzer Prize, and election to the Theatre Hall of Fame, to name only a few. In this program, Bill Moyers talks with Foote about his new play The Carpetbagger's Children and three concepts that had a distinct influence on it: family, memory, and home. In the process, they open a window on what it is like to be a writer for stage and screen as they discuss topics ranging from the art of storytelling to the dynamics of the creative process. Biographical background on how Foote got his start as an actor and a dramatist is also included
Replication Data for: A Computational Analysis of Social Media Scholarship
No full textDramatic increases in large-scale data generated through social media, combined with increased computational power, have enabled the growth of computational approaches to social media research, and social science in general. While many of these approaches require statistical or computational training, they have the great benefit of being inherently transparent—allowing for research that others can reproduce and learn from.
To that end, we wrote a book chapter in the Sage Handbook of Social Media in which we obtain a large-scale dataset of metadata about social media research papers which we analyze using a few commonly-used computational methods. This repository provides the code, data, and documentation designed to tell you exactly how we did that and to walk you through how to reproduce our results and our paper by running the code we wrote.

Measurement Error, Legalized Abortion, and the Decline in Crime: A Response to Foote and Goetz (2005)
No full textDonohue and Levitt (2001) argue that the legalization of abortion in the United States in the 1970s played an important role in explaining the observed decline in crime approximately two decades later. Foote and Goetz (2005) challenge the results presented in one of the tables in that original paper. In this reply, we regretfully acknowledge the omission of state-year interactions in the published version of that table, but show that their inclusion does not alter the qualitative results (or their statistical significance), although it does reduce the magnitude of the estimates. When one uses a more carefully constructed measure of abortion (e.g. one that takes into account cross-state mobility, or doing a better job of matching dates of birth to abortion exposure), however, the evidence in support of the abortion-crime hypothesis is as strong or stronger than suggested in our original work.
