witness to the development of
new technologies and scientific
discoveries that shape our
view of Planet Earth. He has
participated in expeditions to all
of the world’s oceans and was
one of the first scientists to use a
combination of robots and submarines to explore the deep seafloor.
Most recently, he co-led an expedition to create the first detailed
and comprehensive map of the RMS Titanic. He also co-led the
successful U.S. effort to locate the wreck site of Air France Flight 447.
He is currently involved in planning a series of expeditions to the
Mediterranean on the trail of the Atlantis myth and an Antarctic
expedition to locate the remains of Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endeavor.
Dr. Gallo serves as senior advisor for strategic initiatives at the Center
for Climate and Life of the Earth Institute at Columbia University.
Previously, he was director of special projects at the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution—a preeminent, globally recognized

both food and everyday essentials. As the war progressed, everyday
food items became scarce, such as coffee, tea, and wheat. During this
presentation, learn what food substitutes soldiers and civilians used
to meet everyday needs and the advantages the North had over the
South with regard to 19th-century agriculture and industrial practices.
Discover how the South was dependent on the North for many of its
major food essentials prior to the war. Learn also how the war ushered
in a new era of food processing, transportation, and new social
attitudes. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation.

8 | MOSAIC Fall 2018BUD ABBOTT: THE FORGOTTEN FUNNYMAN
During their quarter of a century
together, the comedy team of
Bud Abbott (1897–1974) and Lou
Costello (1906–1959) conquered the
stage, radio, movies, and television.
After the untimely death of his
comedy partner, Bud retired to his
home in Woodland Hills, California.
In 1972, Sal St. George had the
good fortune of meeting Bud and
Betty, his wife of 55 years, in their
home. Mr. St. George recently
rediscovered his long-lost audiotape
of a conversation from that visit, in
which Bud fondly reminisced about
his life as part of one of America’s
Bud Abbott (left) and Lou Costello
most beloved comedy teams. During (right) from their NBC Radio
the conversation, the elder comedian program in the 1940s
reflected on how he met Lou, their movies, Lou’s personal tragedies,
why they ended their partnership, plus his own financial and health
difficulties after Lou’s passing.
Included in this program are notes from interviews with TV pioneer
Steve Allen; Patty Andrews of the Andrews Sisters; Glenn Strange,
who played Frankenstein’s monster in Abbott and Costello Meet
Frankenstein; comedian Joe Besser, Abbott and Costello’s manager
Eddie Sherman; Candy Candido, Bud’s comedy partner after Lou’s
passing; and others. For the first time in 40 years, one of Bud
Abbott’s last interviews is available for fans to enjoy and study.

GEORGIAN COURT UNIVERSITY | 9History & Law
CONSTITUTION DAY COMMEMORATION:
GUANTÁNAMO BAY, MILITARY TRIALS &
FOREVER PRISONERS
“Pick-and-choose patriotism” is how the U.S. government approach
to Guantánamo Bay was described by a defense lawyer in the U.S.
Military Commissions in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Guantánamo Bay
is simultaneously within and outside U.S. legal systems, creating
what can be understood as “selective constitutionalism,” with the
U.S. Constitution inapplicable in certain respects. Marny Requa, J.D.,
GCU associate professor of criminal justice and homeland security
and director of the criminal justice and human rights program, will
put a spotlight on Guantánamo Bay. She’ll cover use of the naval
base for military detentions since 2002, the position of detainees,
and the few cases tried by the commissions. Moderated by Scott
H. Bennett, GCU professor of history and chair of the Department
of History, Geography, and Political Science, legal and political
dilemmas related to the military base will be discussed along with
potential alternatives for Guantánamo’s “forever prisoners.”
Location: McAuley Heritage Center
Date: September 17 (Monday); 6:00 pm
Cost: FREE. Tickets must be reserved online in
advance; no tickets will be issued at the door.

Rutgers Hardenbergh (1856–1915), which culminated in the recent

Hardenbergh, a great-great-grandson of the first president of
Rutgers University, lived most of his life in New Brunswick and Bay
Head, New Jersey, where he drew inspiration for his subject matter.
He painted birds in their natural habitat as well as fish, hunting dogs,
landscapes, and seascapes, and also hand-painted porcelain plates.
The book brings together images of over 180 of Hardenbergh’s
works into one collection. Ms. Burke, a historian, museum director,

WHAT MAKES OPERA GRAND
A large story . . . or an intimate one. A large chorus or a single
voice. A large orchestra or a solo instrument. An extravagant set or a
barren stage. All of these things, seemingly contradictory, contribute
to the lavish world of grand opera, but they only scratch the surface!
How these things come together, how music enriches them, how
the result makes you feel . . . are what makes opera grand!

War I soldiers being led from the battlefield alive, but changed forever by exposure

THE ART OF WAR
A historian is noted as saying that “art and war are old
companions,” and many military leaders felt that art could capture
the true essence of war. Although artists have been capturing the
images of war for years, World War I marked the first time that the
U.S. government commissioned artists to capture a war effort in the
hopes that the artists could provide a historical record and stir up
support for the war. Join Dr. Festa as she shows and discusses pieces
of art from antiquity to World War II.
