Copper Sun

Poet, playwright, novelist, graduate of DeWitt Clinton High, New York University, and Harvard University, Countee Cullen (1903–1946) emerged as a leading literary figure of the Harlem Renaissance. Copper Sun, his second book of poetry, explores the emotional consequences of being black, Christian, bisexual, and a poet in Jazz Age America—such as in the following “Confession”: If for a day joy masters me, Think not my wounds are healed; Far deeper than the scars you see, I keep the roots concealed. They shall bear blossoms with the fall; I have their word for this, Who tend my roots with rains of gall, And suns of prejudice. Countee Cullen’s poetry is illustrated with 16 decorative cuts created by Charles Cullen (no relation to the poet) in extravagant Art Deco style. Contents: I.

Color (1925), his first published book of poetry, confronts head-on what W.E.B.

Statistical Spectroscopy Study of Alpha Particle Transfer Strengths.

Statistical nuclear spectroscopy or spectral distribution methods have been developed by French and coworkers as an alternative, applicable in huge model spaces, to the conventional shell model approach for studying nuclear structure. The theory is based on the operation of a central limit theorem in large model spaces which yields a shape close to Gaussian for the smoothed eigenstate density distribution. The theory emphasizes the importance of traces of bilinear products of operators acting in a model space. Utilizing this and partitioning the model space according to group symmetries leads to an algorithm for expanding any interaction in terms of simpler operators. Detailed shell model comparison of excitation spectra, eigenstate overlaps and B(E2) transition strengths in (\u2720)Ne and (\u2722)Ne with a realistic interaction and its SU(3) trace-equivalent approximations are presented. SU(3) symmetry breaking by single-particle shell effects is also studied. Spectral distribution methods are used to develop a statistical procedure for calculating alpha particle transfer strengths that is valid in large model spaces. The theory gives the strength function as a bilinear expansion in orthogonal polynomials defined by moments of the interaction in the initial and final state model spaces. Rapid convergence is assured by the operation of the central limit theorem. The method involves partitioning the fixed J,T initial (target nucleus) and final (residual nucleus) state model spaces according to the supermultiplet symmetry. Moments of a statistical approximation to the Brown-Kuo interaction are used to estimate the eigenenergies and configuration intensities for the initial and final state subspaces. Specific predictions for the reactions (\u2718)O + (alpha) (DBLARR) (\u2722)Ne and (\u2720)Ne + (alpha) (DBLARR) (\u2724)Mg are made. The results are compared with experimental values and with predictions of other nuclear models. A unique feature of the study, unlike what has been found for E2, M1, E4 strengths, is that the density weighted strength is not dominated by the density of states factor

The dominant mode of standing Alfven waves at synchronous orbit

Low-frequency oscillations of the earth's magnetic field recorded by the UCLA magnetometer on board ATS-1, have been examined for the six-month interval, January-June, 1968. The initial interpretation, that these oscillations represent the second harmonic of a standing Alfven wave, has been re-examined, and it is concluded that this hypothesis must be withdrawn. Using evidence from OGO-5 and ATS-5, as well as the data from ATS-1, it is argued that the dominant mode at the synchronous orbit must be the fundamental rather than the second harmonic. From 14 instances when the oscillations of distinctly different periods occurred during the same time interval at ATS-1 it is concluded that higher harmonics can exist. The period ratio in 7 of the 14 cases corresponds to the simultaneous occurrence of the second harmonic with the fundamental, and 4 other cases could be identified as the simultaneous occurrence of the fourth harmonic with the fundamental

The Ballad of the Brown Girl: An Old Tale Retold

OH, THIS is the tale the grandams tell In the land where the grass is blue, And some there are who say\u27tis false, And some that hold it true. Lord Thomas on a summer\u27s day Came to his mother\u27s door; His eyes were ringed for want of sleep; His heart was troubled sore. He knelt him at his mother\u27s side; She stroked his curly head. I\u27ve come to be advised of you; Advise me well, he said. For there are two who love me well— I wot it from each mouth— And one\u27s Fair London, lily maid, And pride of all the south. … The other one who loves you well, Is she as sweet and fair? She is the dark Brown Girl who knows No more-defining name, And bitter tongues have worn their tips In sneering at her shame
