No.147, Harold (Hack) Woolley, interview by Tim Larson
Transcript (45 pages) of interview by Tim Larson with Harold "Hack" Woolley, retired General Manager of KTVX, on September 9, 1986. This interview is no. 147 in the Everett L. Cooley Oral History Project, and tape no. 55. Accompanied by a two-page biography dated June 1983Woolley (b. 1919) recalls his early schooling, World War Two military service, and his career in radio and later television in Idaho, California, and Utah where he became general manager of Channel 4 television (later KTVX). He discussed the importance of programming, especially the news and local historical figures in broadcasting such as Sid Fox and G. Bennett Larson, 1950s-1980s. Interviewer: Tim Larso

Exploring hidden narratives: Conscript graffiti at the former military base of Kummersdorf
This article explores the cultural significance and interpretative potential of graffiti left by Soviet conscripts at Kummersdorf, a former military base in the German federal state of Brandenburg. The graffiti is framed as war art and its typology, distribution and content is studied in detail. In this way opportunities for further research are highlighted, as well as the potential for the graffiti to contribute to interpretative and conservation strategies. We demonstrate how the graffiti embodies multi-level interpretative narratives which can help to reveal hidden aspects of Soviet conscript life and cultural practices whilst alluding to global events and Soviet and Russian military policy. More generally, the article aims to promote the potential of graffiti and other forms of what is traditionally considered vandalism to contribute to the cultural significance and interpretation of heritage sites
Justice in the Fields
In this piece, Nick Hack talks about the agricultural labor in California. The paper explores the ebb and flow of the shifting tides of ethnicity in the state: What ethnic groups have been the major contributors to labor in Californian agriculture and what roles have they played? The author challenges the reader to consider the parallelism between land and labor exploitation and further explores local organizations that have been created to bring alternatives both in the management of the land as well as in the creation of opportunities for agricultural laborers
Characterizing the mechanism of differential pharmacokinetic disposition of two structurally similar nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, zidovudine and didanosine
The differential contributions of efflux transporters and metabolizing enzymes to the disposition of zidovudine (azidothymidine, AZT) and didanosine (dideoxyinosine, ddI) were investigated using murine and human cells, mouse kidney slices, and mice. Cellular transport, transport in mouse kidney slices, brain uptake, and urinary excretion of AZT and ddI were investigated.
Fumitremorgin C (FTC), a breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) specific inhibitor), increased AZT accumulation, but had little or no effect on ddI accumulation in either HEK-R482 or in J774. Involvement of BCRP was investigated by comparing results in Mock- and BCRP- transfected cells, and confirmed by repeating the studies after silencing BCRP using siRNA. MK-571, a MRP family inhibitor, blocked the efflux of AZT and ddI in murine and human cells. Silencing MRP3 and MRP4 attenuated the efflux of AZT while silencing MRP1 attenuated ddI efflux. The effect of blocking efflux transporters was found to be minor as compared to inhibition of metabolizing enzymes. The major form of AZT deposited inside murine cells was AZT-MP, while the major form found inside human cells was AZT-TP. MK-571 abolished the efflux of AZT-MP in both murine and human cells. However, the efflux of AZT, ddI and their metabolites was not affected by FTC. Application of MK-571 also decreased the efflux of GAZT and ddI in kidney slices. The urinary excretion of AZT and ddI with MK-571 in mice was measured. MK-571 did not cause any significant changes in the urinary excretion of AZT, ddI, or their metabolites between the MK-571 untreated and treated groups.
Collectively, the results of these studies indicate that AZT and ddI are substrates of BCRP and MRPs, however since their effects are limited in in situ and in vivo situation they appear to be relatively minor players in the overall disposition of these drugs.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 98-107)
