Ms. Firestone apparently died of natural causes, his sister Laia Seghi Firestone said.

Subtitled "The Case for Feminist Revolution," "The Dialectic of Sex" was published by William Morrow & Company in 1970. In it, Ms. Firestone extended Marxist theories of class oppression to provide radical analysis of the oppression of women claiming sexual guilt that comes the burden of motherhood, which is for women of random pure organic.

"As the ultimate goal of socialist revolution was not only the removal of privileges economic class, but economic class distinction itself," wrote Mrs. Firestone, "so that the ultimate goal of the feminist revolution must ... not just the elimination of male privilege but of the sex distinction itself:. genital differences between human beings would no longer be as important culturally "

In the future utopian imagining Mrs. Firestone, reproduction would be completely separate from the idea of ??sex can be achieved through artificial insemination, the pregnancy occurs outside the body in an artificial womb. While some critics found his visionary ideas, others felt that his quixotic at best.

Check "The Dialectic of Sex" The New York Times, John Leonard wrote: "A bright and sharp mind is often at work here." However, he added, "Miss Firestone is absurd, stating that" man can not love. '

The book, which was translated into several languages, rushed Firestone lady in the front row of the second wave of feminism, alongside women like Betty Friedan, Germaine Greer and Kate Millett. The rest is taught in universities Woman studies courses.

A painter by profession, Mrs. Firestone did not envisage a career high profile as a writer, he had come to write through posters prepared by various feminist organizations that had helped to found.

The agglomeration of attention, both positive and negative, that his book has generated soon proved unsustainable, said his sister. In the years that followed, Ms. Firestone retired to a quiet and lonely life in most of the painting and writing, but published little.

His only other book, "The airless spaces," was published in 1998 by the publishing experimental Semiotext (e). A memory-in-use forms of fantasy stories that explain facts, that describes the admission of Mrs. Firestone with schizophrenia since 1980 had passed.

After attending Washington University in St. Louis, Ms. Firestone has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1967. During this time he helped found the group Westside, a feminist organization in Chicago before moving to New York.

Yes, it was one of the founders of the three feminist organizations - women in New York, New York Redstockings radicals and radical feminists - What began as an alternative to traditional groups like the National Organization for Women.

Ms. Firestone drew renewed attention in 1997 with the release of "Shulie," an independent film by Elisabeth Elisabeth Subra Subra. Ms. Subra of 37-minute film is a shot-for-shot remake of a previous little seen documentary, also titled "Shulie," made in 1967 by four male graduate students at Northwestern University.

The film 1967, part of a documentary series about the younger generation, Ms. Firestone profiles, then an unknown art student, such as paints, talks about his life of a young woman suffering from an audit his strenuous work of a group of men teachers.

In the 1997 remake, conceived as a look back at a social landscape that seemed to have changed very little in 30 years, Ms. Firestone is played by an actress, Kim Sosso. His dialogue is spoken verbatim from the original document.

Film Subra lady, who appeared at the New York Film Festival, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial and elsewhere, has been well received by critics. But the damsel in distress Firestone, who said he was upset because she had not been consulted in the course of its creation, the sister said this week.

In an interview Thursday, Ms. Subra said she had sent to Mrs. Firestone first cut of the film through an intermediary. The intermediary told him after he said that Mrs. Firestone "could be seen as an act of love, but she hated the original movie and see how my film was different."

In addition to his sister, Laia, Ms. Firestone will survive their mother, Kate Firestone Shiftan, two brothers, Ezra and Nehemiah, and another sister, Miriam Firestone shots.

A "no air spaces," Ms. Firestone writes about life after hospitalization for psychiatric therapy. The account is in the third person, but the story is:

"I had been reading Dante's" Inferno "the first time I went to the hospital, he recalled, and at a pretty good pace, but when it turned out that I could not even download anything fashion .... This let the empty days as comfortable as possible, trying not to fall under boredom and loss of hope. "

The story continues. "He was lucid, yes, at what price sometimes recognize joy in the faces of others and greed, and other emotions she could remember he had once, long ago But his life. Has ruined, and she was not a bailout. "

Architect John Kelsey Dies at 86

Written By Unknown on Wednesday 29 August 2012 | 21:40


During the design of what is now the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena in late 1960, the architects Thornton Ladd and John Kelsey express a conviction. "It can be part of this event and experience" The space that houses art

When it opened in 1969 as the Pasadena Art Museum, observers saw the original design art crow, which was covered with stained tiles that seemed to change color with the sun, and the curved interior walls designed to introduce modern art.

An early review in the Times gives the structure "attractive" and "undoubtedly superior to single-local competition, Los Angeles County Museum of Art."

After forming the company in 1958, Ladd & Kelsey, both graduates of USC built a number of large projects in the next quarter century, including the main buildings at CalArts in Valencia and Busch Gardens theme park in Van Nuys .

Kelsey, 86, died on August 04 of complications related to age at home in Santa Barbara, said his family.

The "Guide to Architecture in Los Angeles" (2003), an architectural historian Robert Winter wrote that the museum has attracted the Streamline Moderne style in 1930, and reflects "a classic formal quality."

After the museum opened its doors to great fanfare, quickly sank into debt and took charge of industrial Norton Simon in 1974. Architect Frank Gehry has made a major reconfiguration of the space of the gallery in late 1990 to better show extensive collection of masterpieces by Simone, according to the museum.

By CalArts, Ladd and Kelsey designed the parts called "mega-construction" with a unit capacity of 150 people including eight theaters, galleries and other systems. Sometimes talks about plans for the giant "virtually unprecedented" Kelsey and promotes flexibility of design.

"There is a traditional classroom in the building," said Kelsey provided the classroom, which could be easily reconfigured "to meet the needs of the teacher."

His inspiration for CalArts - originally developed by Walt Disney - had come from Athens, Rome and the Renaissance, as architects.

Also designed plans for another Disney project, Mineral King Ski Resort, which has been proposed by the Sierra Nevada, but stopped after the country became part of Sequoia National Park in 1978.

Anheuser-Busch's Busch Gardens opened in 1966 on 17 acres adjacent to the brewery. 4 million project was both the theme park and tropical oasis including a monorail that snaked around the structure to allow passengers a look at the process of fermentation. The park was closed in 1979, so it could expand the brewery.

A low profile design, modern First Methodist Church in La Verne, was introduced in the 1967 movie "The Graduate," when Dustin Hoffman character is delivered to you to stop the wedding at the end of the film Picture.

Other projects include Ladd & Kelsey Herrick Memorial Chapel Occidental College, USC Student Activities Complex, two eight-story towers of living in what is now Claremont McKenna College, and a number of May Co. department stores.

In Pasadena, the partners designed a three-bedroom home for the family that Kelsey was built in 1962 and wrapped around a swimming pool. The family sold the house to the north of Annandale Country Club in 1978. It was sold in 2003 for $ 1.85 million.

"The house of the architect is a well articulated ..." wrote the guide in the winter. "This building low as pretty as modern when it was built."

John Field Kelsey was born Dec. 7, 1925, in Los Angeles, the youngest of three children. After his father died shortly before the Depression, Kelsey lived in San Francisco and Los Angeles with her mother.

Towards the end of World War II, he was a cadet in the Army Air Force before attending the School of Architecture at USC.

His collaboration with Ladd lasted until 1982, when he moved to Santa Barbara Kelsey and focuses on the design of contemporary homes. Ladd died in 2010 on his birthday 86.

Kelsey was "always interested in good shape," taken in 1970 sculpture, and painting in an abstract style, said his son, Brent, who is also an architect.

"It's been a lot of fun and had a great personality and was not shy to express their opinion," said the son. "But it used to be right."

The twice divorced Catherine Kelsey survive him, his wife of 30 years, three children from his first marriage, Brent, Jennifer and Elizabeth, two grandchildren, and a brother, Richard.

Mr. Bartholomew had spent 15 years advising presidents and secretaries of state, and parachuting in places like Moscow and Cyprus to extinguish fires diplomatic when he received his first assignment as ambassador in 1983, in Lebanon.

It was a refined political detachment. The day after arriving this October, the Marine barracks was bombed by terrorists, killing 241 people. Mr. Bartholomew was shot the scene the next day, his job complete.

The violence increased pressure from the U.S. to withdraw its troops. Mr. Bartholomew argued strongly against the idea. President Reagan delay the deportation order until February 1984.

In the same year, terrorists bombed the U.S. Embassy in East Beirut about new construction that was built to replace a bombed last year. Nine people were killed. Mr. Bartholomew was removed from the rubble, but not seriously injured, needed stitches and a cast on his arm.

Mr. Bartholomew has been in Lebanon for two years and was often forced to leave for security reasons. His followers often met firearm during a trip to the country with their personal safety "militia" as he and the name of his wife, leaning over the car windows with automatic weapons to return fire.

In 1986, Mr. Bartholomew was appointed ambassador to Spain, where he led negotiations to maintain a military presence greatly reduced. He had worked in similar negotiations before and after would, in its final place, Italy, where he served as ambassador in 1993 and 1997.

"It's been very difficult," said Leslie H. Gelb, a former New York Times reporter, who also worked with Mr. Bartholomew Departments of Defense and State. "We wanted the basics, and foreign leaders wanted to prove that they were tough. They do not want their people to believe in the United States of its property."

He added, referring to Mr. Bartholomew:. "It would have been impolite, and a lot of diplomats are not so clumsy said:" I know you have your political problems, but try to find ways to keep the bases and deal with their political problems. '"

Pulitzer-Prize Winning Reporter Malcolm W. Browne Dies at 81


Malcolm W. Browne, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for four decades of his career, which included covering the Vietnam War - and make one of the most memorable images of the conflict - and a lively second act, as a science that explains chemical weapons and describing the increase in the synthesis of body parts, died Monday in Hanover, NH

The cause was complications of Parkinson's disease, said his wife, Le Lieu Browne.

Mr. Browne, who lived in Thetford Center, Vermont, Manhattan and has spent most of his career writing for the New York Times, which sent him to Argentina, Vietnam, Bosnia, Pakistan, where his curiosity the name has become a science writer at the end of 1970.

"My life is exceptional," Browne said in an interview in 1993. "It provides the widest variety of experiences. This, after all, why I became a journalist."

However, his career was somewhat of an accident.

Mr. Browne had worked as a chemist in New York in 1950 (one of his tasks: finding a substitute for gum, the main ingredient in chewing gum), when he was recruited to go to Korea in 1956. He drove a tank for a while, but the army has assigned later to write for The Stars and Stripes, a decision he said it was his idea, not hers.

After being discharged, Mr. Browne found a job in Baltimore with The Associated Press. Less than a year later, in 1961, the AP Saigon made its head office.

Mr. Browne was one of the journalists who have become more skeptical of American efforts to support the government of Saigon.

Neil Sheehan, who joined The Times, after serving as Saigon bureau chief of United Press International, said Tuesday that Mr. Browne was a "fierce competitor", but also a friend. Mr. Browne often wore a belt buckle of gold, and wearing a money belt so you should have cash "to get out of a difficult situation."

"But," said Mr. Sheehan: "I do not think I've ever had to use."

While journalists in Vietnam often clashed with U.S. officials, Mr. Browne later identified Henry Cabot Lodge, who arrived in 1963 as U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam as "more honest than most U.S. officials I had known. "

E 'was that Mr. Lodge said Browne, who had played an important role in raising awareness of the problems in Vietnam at the highest levels at the White House through a photograph taken in 1963.

When a Buddhist Monaco was set on fire in public in the same year in protest at the government of South Vietnam, Mr. Browne was the only journalist there, and captured the stunning moment in a photograph.

Several studies, including The Times, decided not to run the disturbing image, but Mr. Lodge said he had seen a copy on the desk of President John F. Kennedy.

In 1964, while working for the AP, Mr. Browne shared the Pulitzer Prize for international reports David Halberstam, who covered the war for The Times.

Mr. Browne returned to the U.S. and then joined the Times, which eventually sent to Vietnam. Then go find the sources that had developed in the forefront refuted optimistic accounts of the government of Saigon.

"A spokesman for the South Vietnamese Army, said in an afternoon press conference in Saigon that the elements formed by the soldiers in the air, supported by tanks, entered Quangtri city early yesterday morning," he wrote in a report in 1972. "However, authoritative sources in the reception said that was not true."

Browne also worked for a time in South America, Europe, Southeast Asia and elsewhere before he began writing about science. He studied chemistry as an undergraduate at Swarthmore College.

Their tasks vary widely: the dangers posed by toxic waste drop the space shuttle Challenger, an effort to build a robot flying pterosaur, an effort to rid the trash Antarctica accumulate there.

He left the Times in 1980 to work for Discover magazine, but returned a few years later and continued to write science.

In 2000, after retiring to Vermont, Mr. Browne wrote an essay for The Times the dual nature of his journalistic career.

"After 'time, a news writer may begin to feel a sort of monotony in most of the events that pass as news," he wrote. "When this happens the lucky few of us to discover that in science, almost unique among human activities, there is always something new under the sun."

Pioneer of Artificial Heart David Lederman Dies at 68


David M. Lederman, who led the team of scientists who developed the first artificial heart implanted at all - which, although they have had limited success, we must advance in the treatment of advanced heart disease - died on August 15 home in Marblehead, Mass.

The cause was pancreatic cancer, his son, Jonathan said.

Dr. Lederman, an aerospace engineer, founded a small company called Abiomed in 1981, hoping to prolong life by providing a greater degree of independence for the severely weakened heart patients waiting for a transplant.

Working with Dr. Robert Kung, chief scientific officer of the company, brought together a research team (including aerospace engineers by the way) who designed the AbioCor.

A grapefruit-sized device that replaces a sick heart, the AbioCor has no wires or pipes that pass through the skin. When implemented, a coil transfers power from the charging device and the skin from the outside. An internal battery and a controller that controls and regulates the heart implanted in the abdomen.

The AbioCor is very different from the first Total Artificial Heart, the Jarvik-7, designed by Dr. Robert Jarvik, who asked the tubes that carry the patient to a small compressor fridge which was implanted in Dr. Barney Clark in "University of Utah, December 1982.

Even this is the distinction between the AbioCor artificial heart and other plant, SynCardia, which is also powered by an air compressor outside the body.

Only 14 of the devices were implanted AbioCor, during clinical trials, 2001-2004, the longest surviving recipient 512 days. In comparison, the SynCardia with its out-of-body halter, has been implemented in more than 1,000 patients, with the longest surviving 1374 days.

One problem with the AbioCor is too big to be in many patients. Abiomed AbioCor II is developed, which is a third smaller than the original and designed to last up to five years.

However, the original device had a significant impact on cardiology. "Despite the fact that the AbioCor has not been used in a large number of patients, has paved the way for further development of fully autonomous artificial heart technology," Dr. Kathy point, a spokeswoman for the American Association Heart and director of cardiology services for women in St John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, said.

Dr. A. Lame Gray Jr., professor of cardiac surgery at the University of Louisville with Dr. Robert D. Dowling made the first AbioCor system in 2002, agreed. "The importance is that it was totally implantable and gave people a better quality of life," he said, adding that among the most recent is a left ventricular device, "which is widely used today as bridge to transplant. "

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, which manages the national transplant system, 3254 patients waiting for a new heart, and that the year 1045 was donated hearts. It was not possible to determine how many of those patients waiting for a transplant are compatible with devices that have been developed from the AbioCor.

When it was invented by Dr. Gray said: "Never's been a more sophisticated device implanted in a human being."

Dr. Lederman had a great vision for your business. In a 2003 interview with CBS News, said: "There is no reason that a person has died when his heart stops If the brain of the person and the body is in good shape, because people has died.? "

A Shaper of Channel 13 Robert Kotlowitz Dies at 87


Robert Kotlowitz, author and publisher, who reluctantly became manager of public television in 1971 and has continued to develop the line of homegrown and imported shows - including "The Report MacNeil / Lehrer," "Live at the Met" "Dance in America" ??and "Brideshead Revisited" - which represent a high point of American television, died Saturday at home in Manhattan.

The cause was prostate cancer, his son Alex said.

Mr. Kotlowitz had just resigned as editor of Harper, in a battle with the new owners for editorial control, when John Jay Iselin, the new president's main public television stations in the country, Channel 13 in New York, offered job.

"Like what?" I've never been in a TV studio, "said Kotlowitz asked in an interview with Channel 13. Mr. Iselin said, he replied:" You will be the editor. "

"Why?" Mr. Kotlowitz hesitant to ask.

"We'll see," said Iselin.

Mr. Kotlowitz, who was senior vice president of programming and distribution, and has remained on channel 13 until his retirement in 1990, was known as a kind of minister of Culture and home to some of the most ardent advocate Mr. Iselin's most ambitious decisions.

Ist proposed an evening news half an hour with Jim Lehrer and Robert MacNeil in 1973, after the couple had anchored public television coverage of Senate Watergate hearings.

The agreement has been difficult, but largely thanks to the tenacity of Mr. Kotlowitz met two years later as "The Report MacNeil / Lehrer." The program, which was seen across the country since December 1975, now known as "PBS NewsHour."

In 1981, when Channel 13 had financial problems, Mr. Kotlowitz convinced Mr. Iselin invest $ 500,000 in a series produced by Granada Television in England. The series "Brideshead Revisited," based on the novel by Evelyn Waugh, has become one of the most successful television audiences.

Mr. Kotlowitz played a similar role in introducing the audience to "Monty Python Flying Circus", a live performance at New York City Ballet and the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York, "Bill Moyers Journal" and "Nature".

Mr. MacNeil, who became a friend, said Mr. Kotlowitz aesthetic sensibility deeply influenced PBS programming. "He had innate good taste, and a deep familiarity with literature and art in all its forms," ??said MacNeil said in an interview.

Before the advent of cable, when public television was one of the only alternatives to the speed of the network in many small towns, he added, "Bob was what brought people to opera, ballet The New York Philharmonic. "

In a review in the Washington Post Book World "Somewhere Else," Michele Murray that Mr. Kotlowitz by Isaac Bashevis Singer. "He made the best singer in 'The Manor' and 'The Farm', he wrote," to explain what is essentially the same story of the breakdown of the traditional life of communities isolated Jewish shtetl in Poland. "

In addition to his son, Alex, Mr. Kotlowitz survivors include another son, Dan, a sister, Elaine Magarill, and four grandchildren. His wife, Billie Kotlowitz Leibowitz, who died in 1994.

Mr. Kotlowitz told interviewers that while he was not looking for a job in public television, glad that he was ahead. The work, he said in the interview with Channel 13, took him to the arena of the great pleasures of life: music, art, books, nature, history, current events.
