September 19th, 1910- Letter extract, Daisy Gillespie to Clem Gillespie

Mother and Mrs Yates are telling everyone the two of you have gone to take up a secretarial course. I know you’d be amused that they’ve finally found common cause. It’s certainly the first time I’ve ever seen them co-operate.

Things are strange here. I think Mama suspects I know where you are, but she won’t ask me- at least, not directly. That’s a relief as I’d find it hard to tell her a direct untruth.

The most important news is that Jem was accepted into Brindleton College on a full scholarship! Mama has told everyone in the village a dozen times over and took him into Greater Windenburg to have his uniform fitted, even though he doesn’t start for almost a year. Papa has been telling him he mustn’t grow another inch, and Jem has resolved to give up his bedtime glass of milk ‘in order that I shan’t grow any more’ (although I think this is only an excuse as you know he hates milk).

Mama made Jem walk up and down the parlour in his uniform to show us all. Biddy fell about laughing and got sent upstairs and Papa hummed Burlington Bertie, which made me think of you. I couldn’t help but think of what you would have said. It does seem silly to make a ten-year-old boy wear a top hat, but then I suppose I don’t know anything about being a gentleman.

I’m glad there is a little while until Jem leaves. It will be strange when it’s just me and Biddy. I know she’ll miss Jem, too- the two of them are thick as thieves. Of course she will be starting at the village school next year as well. That will be a relief really. She was always headstrong, but since you left lately she’s become a bit of a terror. She got a tin of molasses out of the larder and by the time Mother found her half of it was in her hair and wouldn’t come out! You’ve never heard such ructions. In the end Mother had to cut her hair quite short and she cried bitterly at first, but I showed her some fashion plates of little girls with shingled hair from one of my magazines and told her none of the village girls had anything a bit like it, and that perked her up in no time. It really does look pretty on her, but then she always was the prettiest of us. I suppose you won’t mind me saying that, now that you…well, you know.

Perhaps showing her the magazines worked a little too well. This afternoon I caught her walking up and down the pasture wall with a book on her head, and when I asked her what she was doing she said she was practising to be a mannequin for the House of Worth.

The village is much the same as ever. Paul Farber and Sybil Copeland were married last Sunday. Myrtle was head bridesmaid and looked like thunder. I suspect she’s chafing that Sybil is married before her, and her not even engaged. I think she and Justice Bowlinger have had a lover’s quarrel; she hasn’t been boasting about him nearly as much lately.

Eli has been teaching me songs in Yiddish (his mother’s language) and Ladino (his father’s). I’d never heard either before. I’m sure I make an awful mess of them, but he’d never say so. He’s begun calling me Margeritke, which means daisy, after one of the songs. Daisy is such a prosaic name, the sort of name you give to cows, but Margeritke seems quite different.

He laughed a good deal when I showed him your picture, but he swore he wasn’t making fun. He said you looked more natural in men’s clothes than you ever did in skirts.

I must go to bed now; I have to be up early to milk Betsy. Oh! and I enclose a portrait of Jem in his uniform. Mama had so many copies made, I don’t think she’ll miss one.

Your loving sister,

Daisy

Post-War America, on Film and in Society

Grace Doyle

The shift within Hollywood cinema after the war had ended was tremendous in scope, and brought with it many changes to the Hollywood structure and style. In 1948, studios sold their theater chains, effectively destroying the then-popular tiered production style. Large-scale productions, which now had to make their budget back, shifted focus to melodrama, social-commentary, and wide-scale color films. A prominent director during the time period was Billy Wilder. Although he made films which were intended to appeal to a wider audience, he often coated these films with cynicism - often, so subtly that audiences would not pick up on the fact that he was making fun of them. This, as well as the other cinematic trends listed, reflected the American post-war mentality.

The conception of this mentality is synonymous with the birth of the American suburb. Due to the arrival of troops back from war, as well as the increase in marriages and birth-rate, there was a demand for housing in America: thus, the suburb was founded. Homes were built rapidly and homogeneously, with architectural designs being repeated throughout multiple constructions in one area. Their costs appealed to the middle class citizens, which in turn drove lower-income citizens out of affluent areas through single-use zoning. As a result, drastic racial and economic discrimination occurred within suburbia, and the decay of the modern inner-city can be traced back to the isolation of nuclear well-off families.

This was an era of paranoia. Not only was the implementation of suburbia harmful to underrepresented groups, but social-political anxieties swept the nation, as Americans feared that nuclear war was on the horizon. Due to the suspicion of communists in Hollywood, many films and filmmakers were listed as “Un-American” and thus blacklisted. These themes made their way into many films at the time, and movies which consisted of a character with a double-identity were effectively banned. An interesting example of this trend lies within films which deconstruct the common notion of gender and sexuality. Films which are now regarded as depictions of same-sex relationships were then identified to have themes of “counter-subversion” which threatened the American ways of life.

In turn, religious films flourished. Christian themes were especially prominent within the films of the era, both in the United States as well as Europe. In many ways, this was a propaganda technique: “After 1945 the persecution of religion under ‘godless Communism’ became one of the most emotive of the major themes of Cold War discourse in Western Europe and the United States, complementing those of Communist subversion, “Red Fascism,” and the threat of a nuclear Armageddon,” (Shaw, 7).

The political, social, and economic changes of the period drastically affected the turnout for cinemas during the time period. Not only were productions cut back, but the birth of the television set would change the movie-going experience forever. Between 1950 and 1955, the amount of households which had televisions increased by 87%. However, the decline in cinema attendance began years before: many attribute this to urban sprawl, as many cinemas were primarily located within urban areas.

La frontera entre Estados Unidos y México es la ruta de migración terrestre más mortífera del mundo, según la OIM

La frontera entre Estados Unidos y México es la ruta de migración terrestre más mortífera del mundo, según cifras de la agencia de migración de la ONU publicadas el martes, y cientos de personas pierden la vida intentando realizar peligrosos cruces por el desierto.

La Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) documentó 686 muertes y desapariciones entre migrantes en la frontera el año pasado, pero la cifra real probablemente sea mayor debido a la falta de datos, incluidos los de las oficinas forenses del condado fronterizo de Texas y la agencia mexicana de búsqueda y rescate.

En un paisaje de extenso desierto, cañones y colinas plagadas de cactus, los migrantes son víctimas de golpes de calor en verano y de hipotermia en invierno, dijeron funcionarios fronterizos estadounidenses. Algunos cuerpos nunca se encuentran.

Paul Dillon, portavoz de la OIM, afirmó que las cifras registradas "representan las estimaciones más bajas disponibles".

"Las alarmantes cifras son un claro recordatorio de la necesidad de tomar medidas decisivas para crear vías regulares de migración legal", dijo a los periodistas en Ginebra.

La OIM dijo que casi la mitad de las muertes registradas el año pasado estuvieron relacionadas con el cruce de los desiertos de Sonora y Chihuahuense.

El número de muertes y desapariciones documentadas por la OIM a lo largo de la frontera representa casi la mitad de los 1.457 casos registrados en toda América el año pasado.

"Una de las tendencias más preocupantes que la OIM ha observado en las Américas fue el aumento de muertes en las rutas migratorias en el Caribe", dijo Dillon.

Dijo que en 2022 se habían documentado 350 muertes, frente a 245 en 2021 y menos de 170 registradas en años anteriores. La mayoría de las víctimas en las rutas migratorias del Caribe eran personas de República Dominicana, Haití y Cuba.

Según la OIM, el año pasado se documentaron 141 muertes de migrantes en el Tapón del Darién, un cruce fronterizo selvático entre Panamá y Colombia.

"La naturaleza remota y peligrosa de esta área y la presencia de bandas criminales a lo largo de la ruta significa que esta cifra probablemente no representa el número real de vidas perdidas", dijo Dillon.

Panamá anunció la semana pasada nuevas medidas para frenar el aumento de los cruces de migrantes a través del Tapón del Darién, que alcanzó un máximo histórico este año.

Colon Cancer Is Rising Among Young Adults. Here Are Signs To Watch For.

Genetics, the microbiome, and low screening rates may be factors in the increase, experts say. Here are risk factors for the disease—and the most common symptoms.

— By Tara Haelle | March 16, 2023

Colorectal cancer is often thought to affect older people, but one in five cases diagnosed today occurs in people younger than age 55, compared to one in 10 cases in 1995, according to a recent study published by the American Cancer Society.

There’s no clear explanation for this trend, but a new paper just published in Science suggests a number of possible reasons, including environmental and genetic factors. Low screening rates and misdiagnosis in people who don’t suspect cancer likely play a role as well.

“We're coming to a point where we shouldn't consider colorectal cancer a disease of only older adults,” said Andrew Chan, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and vice chair of gastroenterology at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Cancer survivors pose for a photo at a colorectal cancer awareness installation on the National Mall on March 13, 2023 in Washington, DC.

Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the Western world. Here is a colored scanning electron micrograph of colorectal cancer cells. Adenocarcinomas of the colon and rectum typically begin as a growth of tissue called a polyp, which is often removed during a routine colonoscopy before it turns cancerous. Symptoms include rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. Treatment involves surgery to remove the affected area. Micrograph By Steve Gschmeissner, Science Photo Library

The findings also revealed an increase in diagnoses of advanced disease, which is particularly concerning because colonoscopies are “a great tool for prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer in terms of screening that can actually detect and remove precancerous lesions,” said lead author Rebecca Siegel, senior scientific director of cancer surveillance research at the American Cancer Society. Survival rates are 90 percent if detected early enough.

The rising rates in younger adults led the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to change its recommendation in May 2021 to begin screenings at age 45 instead of 50, but those with risk factors may need to start even earlier, said Siegel, who noted that nearly a third of colorectal cancers are associated with a family history of the disease.

“Until we see these trends start to reverse, we're going to have to continue to consider what appropriate strategies we need to take to really stem this increase in early onset disease,” Chan said.

Identifying Colorectal Risk Factors

Genetic risk scores may be helpful for identifying those who may be more likely to develop colorectal cancer at an early age but could be more effective if they took interaction with environmental factors into account, suggested Marios Giannakis, an oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who coauthored the Science paper. The question is which environmental factors? Finding out requires the kind of long-term studies of large populations that are expensive and difficult to conduct, especially since they would be most useful if they included stool, blood, and tissue samples collected over time.

Lifestyle factors seem an easy culprit for early onset disease at first, but the reality is more complicated. Excess body weight increases the risk of colorectal cancer, Siegel said, but only about 5 percent of colorectal cancers are attributed to excess body weight. Excess weight is also predominantly linked to tumors on the right side of the colon, not the left colon, which is where the cancer society found that the increases are occurring.

Excess weight is also a bigger risk factor for men than women, yet the trend in younger adults is similar for all people.

“Diet, obesity, and physical inactivity may be driving some of this increase, but it's not the complete story,” Chan said. “There are other contributors that remain to be uncovered, and I think it's those factors on which we need to really focus our attention because they're going to be things that may potentially have a greater impact in reducing incidence.”

Giannakis’s paper notes that higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, as well as red and processed meats are possible factors. Others include “antibiotics, more ubiquitous environmental toxins, and higher rates of Cesarean sections and other surgical procedures.”

What all those factors have in common is an effect on the microbiome, the population of bacteria and other microorganisms that populate the human digestive system. Mark A. Lewis, director of gastrointestinal oncology at Intermountain Health in Utah, said early onset disease is at least “partly explained by antibiotic usage in childhood and young adulthood, as shown most convincingly,” in 2019 study from the United Kingdom.

Don’t Dismiss Troublesome Symptoms

It’s challenging to tease out how much increased mortality is due to greater risk factors versus low screening rates, particularly in rural or low-income areas, but it’s likely both, said Rishi Naik, an assistant professor of medicine in gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Screening gaps are evident in the fact that 27 percent of younger adults are diagnosed with advanced disease compared to 20 percent of older adults. Survival rates are similar across ages despite younger patients typically receiving more aggressive treatment and having fewer other conditions.

“We fear this may also indicate a more aggressive biology for reasons that we need to understand,” Giannakis said, but it’s still not clear whether disease in younger people is more aggressive or just getting caught too late or both. Siegel’s paper noted that symptomatic patients under age 50 took 40 percent longer to receive a diagnosis compared to older patients.

“It is important for patients and providers to aggressively investigate concerning symptoms and signs, such as rectal bleeding and unexplained iron deficiency, to ensure that unsuspected colorectal cancer is not the cause, regardless of age,” said Reid Ness, an associate professor of medicine in gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The most common symptoms for colorectal cancer in younger patients are abdominal pain; unexplained weight loss; changes in the frequency, size or appearance of stools; and rectal bleeding, which occurs in 46 percent of early-onset cases compared to 26 percent of cases in adults over age 50.

“There is a tendency for young people to assume that they're young and healthy, and if they do have some symptoms, that it's something transient or not concerning,” Chan said. Siegel also noted the importance of fighting stigma since people may not feel comfortable discussing rectal symptoms. But following up means ensuring doctors take symptoms seriously too.

“Sometimes the more unfortunate stories are patients told they just have a hemorrhoid, and then a couple months later, they’ve got metastatic colon cancer,” Naik said. “If they’re symptomatic, they need a colonoscopy and not just a stool-based test.”

Health Disparities Reveal Need For More Screening

Like the trend toward more cases in younger ages, racial and ethnic disparities in colorectal cancer rates and deaths likely result from a combination of greater risk factors and lower screening rates and health-care access.

Siegel highlighted that Alaskan Natives have the highest rates of colorectal cancer in the world. Cases in this population are more than double those among white individuals, and deaths are nearly four times higher in the Alaskan Native population—the only racial or ethnic group in which overall cases are not declining. In fact, cases are increasing by 2 percent each year and remain the most diagnosed cancer in this group.

Possible contributing risk factors for cases in this population include vitamin D deficiency from less sun exposure, smoking, obesity, and a diet high in smoked fish and low in fiber, fruits, and vegetables, according to Siegel’s study.

The disparity between cases and deaths is more striking in Black Americans, whose cases are 21 percent higher than in white Americans but whose mortality is 44 percent higher. Three-year survival rates for metastatic rectal cancer are 30 percent for patients diagnosed between 2016-2018—up from 25 percent a decade earlier—but Black patients’ three-year survival rates have plateaued at 22 percent, likely due to lower access to improved treatments, Siegel and her coauthors write.

Geographic disparities are similarly driven at least partly by higher rates of smoking and excess body weight, as well as lower income and poorer health-care access, Siegel said. Both cases and mortality are lowest in the West and highest in Appalachia and parts of the South and Midwest.

“If you look at a map of county-level poverty and county-level colorectal cancer mortality, they're strikingly similar,” Siegel said. Excess weight and poorer diets are more common with lower incomes, especially since processed foods are cheaper and less likely to spoil than fresh foods, Siegel said.

Another contributing factor to disparities is inadequate information about screening options besides colonoscopy, said Naik. Colonoscopies require going to centers, which are sparser in Alaska and rural areas. Colonoscopies also typically involve anesthesia, which means the patient must take off work and have someone else, who may also need time off work, drive them home—all of which is more difficult for people with low incomes.

“Though colonoscopies are a gold standard for screening for colon cancer, it's not the only modality,” Naik said. “We also have stool-based testing, which can be done at the comfort of your home.” Although providers play a critical role in encouraging screening, “really health-care systems have to do a better job of engaging communities on a programmatic level,” he said.

Ness takes that idea even further. “The greatest source of disparity in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality remains the low screening rates among uninsured and low-income individuals,” he said. “Until we in the United States become committed to the concept and practice of universally available basic health care, including colorectal cancer screening, we will continue to see disparities in health outcomes.”
