Oral history of Raymond Proctor (Family)
No full textRaymond Proctor (1934-1988) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and after high school moved to New York City, following his brother Richard. After attending Seton Hall in northern New Jersey, he was drafted into the army, and spent 1954-56 traveling widely, including Germany, Morocco, and elsewhere. Returning to New Jersey, he worked for the Essex County Welfare Board and got involved in the African American civil rights movement, eventually becoming chairman of the Newark-Essex chapter of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) in 1964, where along with Richard he led important activist efforts for black employment rights.
Leaving CORE and Essex County a year later, Ray traveled to Europe, though he eventually wound up teaching sociology and directing the Urban Institute Masters Program at Essex County College in Newark. Later jobs included both academic institutions such as the New School for Social Research and Columbia University and also the famous Studio 54, where he worked as business manager. Ray also taught and spoke extensively about metaphysics, which he considered his life's work.
We at the Queer Newark Oral History Project became aware of Ray when we found his obituary, which listed no cause of death, in the records of the Newark Community Project for People with AIDS at Newark Public Library. On it, a handwritten note asked for donations to the group instead of flowers. Without Ray himself around to narrate his story, we located his brother, Richard Proctor, and Richard's three adult children, Angela Proctor Weaver, Deborah P. Carter, and Kevin Proctor. Together, they recall their brother and uncle's life and career, their perception of his struggles with his sexuality as a gay man, and his physical decline as he struggled with AIDS, which ultimately led to his death. While there is much about Raymond Proctor's private life and inner thoughts that will likely remain unknown, this rich oral history provides the most substantive account of an important figure who contributed to the black freedom struggle, AIDS activism, spirituality, and more

Introduction:From the House that George Built to the House of Mouse
No full textIn 2005, the release of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith officially marked the end of the Star Wars phenomenon—as a live-action film series at least. Spin-offs and tie-in narratives would, however, continue to exploit gaps in “hyperdiegetic” (Hills 2002) continuity and chronology, such as CGI animated film and TV series The Clone Wars (2008–2015) and the continuation of the Expanded Universe (EU) of novels, comics, video games, as well as new merchandise, toys, and action figurines. Plans for a live-action TV series set between Episode III and Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), with the working title of Star Wars: Underworld, remained in the early stages of planning and preproduction, principally due to budgetary concerns and constraints. In 2010, at a screening of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) in Chicago, George Lucas said that the TV series was “on hold” for the time being, “because we have scripts, but we don’t know how to do them. Because, they literally are Star Wars, only we’re going to have to try to do them [at] a tenth of the cost. And it’s a huge challenge . . . [a] lot bigger than we thought it was gonna be” (quoted in Rosenberg 2010). At the same event, fans reportedly questioned Lucas about the possibility of a new live-action flm, which he clearly rebuked. The Star Wars flm series as the saga of the Skywalker family, it seemed, was over with, done and dusted. As David Brin (2006: 1) announced, “The sci-f legend of our generation is now complete

Storming through the Proctor Yard
No full textNona and I went by train from Chicago to Duluth so I could shoot the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range. But, the public relations manager turned out to be a bastard and despite my letters and personal visit would not give me any permissions. So we took a bus ride up to Virginia to see what things looked like, and they looked cold and tough. So we went back and caught the NP Budd car for Staples and a connection for Jamestown, N. D. The con of the Budd car said he was secretary to the speaker of the state legislature and would make them give me permission but there wasn't time so we went on. Shots include those at Virginia, Proctor yard, and around Duluth. (Steinheimer envelope note)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
