 "Getting outside of yourself" by HAROLD RUSSEL, Past National Commander, AMVETS; U.S. Representative, World Veterans Federation; Harold John Russell was a Canadian-American World War II veteran who became one of only two non-professional actors to win an Academy Award for acting (the other being Haing S. Ngor). Russell also holds the unique honor of being the only person to receive two Academy Awards for the same role. While an Army instructor, and training with the U.S. 13th Airborne Division stateside in 1944, a defective fuse detonated an explosive he was handling while making a training film. As a result, he lost both hands and was given two hooks to serve as hands. After his recovery, and while attending Boston University as a full-time student, an Army film called Diary of a Sergeant about rehabilitating war veterans was made featuring Russell. When film director William Wyler saw the film on Russell, he cast him in the film The Best Years of Our Lives with Fredric March and Dana Andrews. Russell played the role of Homer Parrish, a sailor who lost both hands during the War. For his role as Parrish, Russell won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1947. Earlier in the ceremony, he was awarded an honorary Oscar for "bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans." The special award had been created because the Board of Governors very much wanted to salute Russell, a non-professional actor, but assumed he had little chance for a competitive win. It was the first time the Academy has awarded two Oscars for the same role, with the other two being awarded to Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro for their portrayals of Vito Corleone in The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, respectively. Upon completion of the film, Wyler told Russell to return to school since there "weren't many roles for actors without hands." Russell returned to Boston University and graduated with a business degree in 1949. ..... 1953 How I feel about LIFE Ad, A4892. $12.99 This Item is an original Magazine ad, taken from a vintage magazine of the year indicated.

Forbidden Fruit Creates Many Jams $16.99 Thanks to the all-beats, no-filler approach espoused by labels such as Definitive Jux and Anticon, underground hip-hop is as low-fi as old Crypt Records albums. It creates a kind of auditory claustrophobia, sounding like it was made in a small room with one microphone stuck in the bottom of a megaphone. And it, at first, was a fine and even dandy 180-turn from blingtatstic hip-hop pop, but the aesthetic hasn't been able to grow as MCs have become more confident, talented, and inventive.Fortunately, producer/DJ t.E.C..K! has his ideas about how underground hip-hop can sound. The beat-master behind Educated Consumers, t.E.C.K! proves himself an even more versatile rhythm juggler on ResiNation's Forbidden Fruit Creates Many Jams. This duo--with MC K-Cromozone, an agile rhyme-sayer with a nice feel for playing with and off beats--travels in the sort of deep-down groove and astro-soul glides that Madlib kicks out for Quasimoto and Lootpack, finely layering touches of high-end samples and accents that make the low-end throb contagious. It's a style that allows ResiNation--yes, it's most definitely a play on "resin"--to kick out stumbling, streetwalking blues grooves ("2-22z"), discombobulating disses of movie folk play-acting musicians ("Actors"), prowling pulses spiced with a flamenco flava ("MADD"), and the ingenious beat-box meeting a cappella backing voices ("MAXImum"). And like Quasimoto, ResiNation can bounce from serious subjects to unabashed silliness without batting an eye, making an album that feels as casual and of its time as early Pharcyde.
