Capstone: Style and Content: When Worlds Collide. (Draft) 

 The cover of Tom Wolfe’s non-fiction account of the Mercury Program, The Right Stuff, has his name embossed in big silver letters, below the almost non existent title on the paperback edition. By contrast, the cover of Hunter S. Thompson’s (HST), Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72, is in all capital letters, with the gonzo journalist’s name in white and the title in yellow. The Wolfe cover has an image of an Atlas rocket blasting off from a launch gantry, HST’s has a skull in red, white and blue stripes, stars on the forehead and white swastikas in the black eye sockets. Fear and Loathing was published in 1973, The Right Stuff six years later. Though just a few years apart, the content and style were worlds apart; they will ultimately collide, here, in this final project. 

 No better description of Wolfe’s style in The Right Stuff can be found in Chapter Five when the astronauts selected for the manned space mission were introduced to a large group of reporters; 

 “Without another word, all these grim little crawling beggar figures began advancing toward them, elbowing and hipping one another out of the way, growling and muttering, but never looking at each other, since they had their cameras screwed into their eye sockets and remained concentrated on Gus and the six other pilots at the table in the most obsessive way, like a swarm of root weevils which, no matter how much energy they might expend in all directions trying to

2 

muscle one another out of the way, keep their craving beaks homed in on the juicy stuff that the whole swarm had sensed--until they were all over them, within inches of their faces in some cases, poking their mechanical beaks into everything but their belly buttons.” (Wolfe, 86)  All one sentence, Wolfe described the most defining moment in the novel. Not the astronaut backgrounds, their qualifications, selections, the training and the launches, but the reaction of the media to the introduction. Knotted together is a complex repetitive arrangement that is exploited by the striking metaphor of the root weevil. His father was an agricultural scientist. (achievement.org) Well within the range of civil, Wolfe has provided the keenest insight into the dawn of the Space Age, April, 1959. Again, Wolfe used the herd mentality to give yet another insight into the ravenous press corps that couldn’t get enough of this incredible new discovery;  “ It was as if the press in America, for all its vaunted independence, were a great colonial animal, an animal made up of countless clustered organisms responding to a single nervous system.” (95) 

 Hunter S. Thompson, or by his acronym, HST, also had a close encounter that would live on in the memory of Americans, but he wasn’t as civil, his style was coined gonzo. (Britannica) Purely a unique style of his own creation, HST is a central character in his novel about his cross-country trek during the presidential election of 1972. HST isn’t as accurate in his description of the characters he meets along the way, he isn’t also as accurate in predicting the outcome of the election. In Miami following the Republican convention when Nixon was nominated to the now familiar shout of “Four More Years,” made famous by the Republican Youth, HST described to Bobo the pimp outside the Fontainebleau the strategy behind the GOP;

3 

 “Nixon sold the party for the next twenty years by setting up an Agnew/Kennedy race in ‘76...ghe did it for the same reason he’s done everything else since he first got into politics--to make sure he gets elected.” 

Further down, in the next paragraph, HST’s style becomes more uncivil; 

 “F...k the polls. They always follow reality instead of predicting it...But the real reason he turned the party over to the Agnew/Goldwater wing is that he knows most of the old-line Democrats who just got stomped by McGovern for the nomination wouldn’t mind seeing George get taken out in ‘72 if they know they can get back in the saddle if they’re willing to wait four years.” (HST, 319-320) 

Thompson points to the labor force behind the “Humphrey/(George) Meany Democrats” as the bloc that would hand Nixon the victory. As for Nixon himself, HST notes the incumbent will get nervous if his lead slips and “if that Watergate case ever gets into court he might get very nervous.” (327) Thompson was partially right about the election, but got it wrong on ‘76; Jimmy Carter won against Gerald Ford after Nixon resigned because Watergate did get into court. Insight throughout Fear and Loathing is primary, through the view of Thompson in the first person. Laced with profanity and meandering throughout the text, it provides still the most coherent portrayal of one of the most important elections of the 20th century, without a doubt light years away from the one that preceded it when Nixon first took office after beating Hubert Humphrey. 

 If Wolfe wrote for the sense of an historical event, HST took part in it; if Wolfe gave his account in descriptions that were to be read by not just the average person, it was directed at academia. HST wrote for the sake of writing and broke every rule in the process, so much for an effort to define style. If Wolfe set the standards for style, HST translated that style through copia

4 

into language that those who didn’t know what “Tricky Dick,” meant or “Dick Nixon Before he Dicks You,” it became clear in his writing. To even consider attempting to emulate their style or genius would be an exercise in futility, it can’t be done. Perhaps, somewhere, where those two literary worlds collide, there is an infinitesimally small space in between.

FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL

India: The Telegraph Act and the Internet.

No communication system or network developed in a vacuum; nor did it exist in a bubble devoid of regulation. No nation existed in a vacuum before the world wide web changed the way its citizens communicated, India was no exception. Under British rule from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s, the first extensive effort to link the communication distance across the far flung empire was the telegraph. With it came infrastructure difficulties initially considered unimportant.

     The East India Company, in de facto control of India, already had a functional telegraph system in place, running adjacent to its railway lines. An effort to augment this system through an independent government backbone infrastructure met with numerous dismal failures due to the weather, uninsulated wire lines atop bamboo poles that would collapse when a cyclone rolled across the country, renegade natives who stole the copper wire to make jewelry, insufficient battery power to relay messages, and signals that were interrupted and broken along the way. 

    In 1857, the Sepoy Rebellion forced the East India Company out of power; it was replaced by the Crown itself. The quality of the government telegraph service didn’t necessarily improve for many years. Faced with most of the same issues, the new British administration reformed not just the infrastructure itself, but brought in Westerners to assist in message trafficking.

     With it also came the Telegraph Act of 1885; a seemingly innocuous piece of historical legislation paving the way for what came next: censorship, and in the 21st century, the internet. Throughout the years, much of the difficulty rose from the government of India’s refusal to accept commercial development of the enterprise, maintaining a monopoly where possible.

     Today, it’s easy to “Google” the extent of the internet across the nation, which creates an oversimplified picture of the prevalence of the infrastructure. It overlooks the dialup, the incredibly slow download speeds, the crashes, the cost, and rules that prevented, and prevent, access. Somewhere in all of this, the government, possibly falling back on its failure during the telegraph era to keep the system up and running and the laws that governed it, still uses the Telegraph Act to justify shutting down the internet to prevent access by organized protesters, disillusioned provincial politicians out to demand reforms from the national government, and under-the-radar groups using the resources for criminal activity. 

     What is unclear is where the national government stands in implementing the Telegraph Act and its amended, more modern, regulations to cover up the flaws in the system. The purpose of this research will be to ferret out not just the intentional security shutdowns of the modern internet, but other, perhaps, less justified reasons based on infrastructure failure that might be passed off as security concerns. The coverup would be based on a strategy to fend off criticism, embarrassment and getting tossed into the social media doghouse over an inept official response. 

      The presentation will draw on a number of sources which show similar strategies were employed during the telegraph era, how legislation and regulation offset the setbacks and failures of the system, and how they are employed today, beyond actual genuine security concerns, also to be addressed. 

  Note: Dr. Paromita Pain, University of Nevada, Reynolds School of Journalism, Reno, Nevada, USA--has given the "Go ahead" on this final presentation project.
