It’s a noun, it’s a verb, it’s McClurg! If the river is famous to the fish, McClurg is famous (perhaps infamous) to the liver. “Meet me at McClurg,” or “I’ve been McClurged”... there are a lot of associations with the dining hall, but the last thing anyone seems to think of is C. V. McClurg, for whom the caf was named. When you Google “C.V. McClurg: images” you get some pictures of desks, a book by someone named Emma McClurg, and a picture of Ferris Bueller. So who was the elusive Mr. McClurg?”

Henry McCarty, born around 1859 in the Manhattan area of New York, was more commonly known as Billy the Kid or William Bonney. His mother, Catherine, was an immigrant from Ireland who worked odd jobs to support their family. Soon after the death of her husband, Catherine, Henry, and her younger son Joseph moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, where she met her future husband William Antrim.

I do not feel that Phillip Malloy’s free speech rights were violated. There are multiple reasons for this. Philip was not singing to be patriotic, but instead to annoy his teacher Ms. Narwin. He was also warned multiple times to give the national anthem “quiet respect”. Once Phillip was in the principle’s office Phillip was even given a chance to apologize to his classmates for disturbing them during the national anthem, but he refused. These three facts are why Phillip Malloy’s free speech rights weren’t violated, and he was only singing to create a disturbance.

This is exactly what the people of Oklahoma City would’ve been thinking if asked about terrorism. Sadly, on the day of April 19, 1995, Oklahoma and the nation was shocked as the unthinkable happened. The rest of the world stood still, and watched as people were rushed from the building. Families received information about their loved ones, and soon learned that they were no longer living. Parents were also sickened by the fact that their children would never be able to go to daycare again. As for the man in charge of this operation, his slow but authorized death was watched by families and friends of the victims. The rest of the nation should’ve been able to view this great punishment along with the families who were affected.

In Giacomo's case, like most actors in the business today, he has a varied and solid body of works within his repertoire, and I could have easily asked him about any number of his movies and shows, and I am convinced I would have sensed the same kind of zeal and positivity in his answers. While I always relish the responses of my interviewees, I derive immense satisfaction from actors who view every film and show in an optimistic light, tied to specific and pleasant memories. While I'm not naive enough to believe that every single role is a "dream come true" nor without contention, it's actors like Giacomo who are willing to dismiss the negativity that may be associated with specific roles or experiences and choose to remember the virtuous
