Dena Epstein

Dena Julia Polacheck Epstein (30 November 1916 – 14 November 2013) was an American music librarian, author, and musicologist.
Early life
Epstein was born in Milwaukee to William Polacheck and Hilda Satt. She studied music at the University of Chicago and library science at the University of Illinois, graduating in 1943. She worked as a cataloguer at the latter institution while completing her degree, and upon graduation was appointed the Senior Music Librarian at Newark Public Library. In 1946 she began working as a cataloguer and reviser for the Library of Congress music section. After spending a period as a homemaker, she returned to the University of Chicago in 1964 as the Assistant Music Librarian, in which position she served for 22 years.
Scholarship
Beginning in 1955, Epstein began researching the historical origins of American slave music. Her 1977 book on the topic, Sinful Tunes and Spirituals: black folk music to the Civil War, was awarded the Chicago Folklore Prize and the Simkins Prize of the Southern Historical Association. Among other findings, Epstein demonstrated that the banjo emerged from the African slave tradition rather than rural white culture, a revelation that "shattered myths and sparked a remarkable revival of black string band music". Epstein received two National Endowment for the Humanities grants for her research, which was included in several musicology journals. She also published Music Publishing in Chicago Before 1871 (1969) and I Came a Stranger: The Story of a Hull-house Girl (1989), an edited autobiography of her mother.
Legacy
Epstein served as president of the Music Library Association (MLA) from 1977 to 1979, and was awarded the association's highest citation in 1986. MLA adjudicates a research award named after Epstein.
Filmmaker Jim Carrier created The Librarian and the Banjo to document Epstein's contribution to American ethnomusicology. He noted that she "revolutionized our understanding of American music... we take for granted that African-American music is the tap root of popular American music. We owe much of that knowledge to this music librarian who set out to correct history".
Epstein's papers and correspondence are held by Columbia College Chicago's Center for Black Music Research.
Epstein also appeared in the PBS documentary program American Experience, "Chicago, City of the Century." Her interview regarding her mother and conditions in the Near West Side Neighborhood at the turn of the 19th century appears on Disc 3: Battle for Chicago.

Jaime Bonilla Valdez

Jaime Bonilla Valdez (born 9 June 1950) is a Mexican politician and entrepreneur who served as the Governor of Baja California from 2019 to 2021. A member of the National Regeneration Movement party, he has been a Federal Congressman and a Senator of the Republic.
Life
Bonilla was born in Tijuana, Baja California and obtained his degree in business administration from the UNAM in 1983. He worked in a variety of companies, including Electrol de México, CONESA, and COVIMEX de México. Between 1982 and 1985, he directed the Potros de Tijuana baseball club, which played in the Liga Mexicana del Pacífico. In 1984, he became the director general and a columnist of the Diario de Baja California newspaper, which began a career in media ownership for Bonilla. Through his company PSN (originally an acronym for Pacific Spanish Network, now Primer Sistema de Noticias), he directly operates XESS-AM 620 and XESDD-AM 1030 in Tijuana. He also owned XHENB-TV channel 29 in Ensenada, now a cable-only outlet, and his company Media Sports de México holds the concessions for two radio stations operated under brokerage agreements by American programmers, XEPE-AM 1700 and XHPRS-FM 105.7. Bonilla also acquired cable systems in Ensenada and Tecate. Bonilla also owned radio station KURS 1040 in San Diego through his company Quetzal Bilingual Communications; the station was sold in 2016 for $900,000.
In 2000, Bonilla, then a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States, joined the board of the Otay Water District in Otay Mesa, California. While in the US, he lived in Chula Vista, California, and was a donor to Republican causes and even was on the California finance committee for John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. In March 2012, he announced his resignation from the water board in order to run for federal deputy and simultaneously join the 2012 presidential campaign of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. At the same time, he renounced his dual citizenship, a move necessary to meet the constitutional requirements to run for office. He became a proportional representation deputy on the PT list, during which time he served as the president of the Northern Border Matters Commission and was the state campaign coordinator for the PT in the 2013 Baja California state elections. Bonilla left the post in 2014 in order to become the state party director for the then-new Morena party. His relationship with López Obrador remained close; in 2016, Bonilla invited him to his Petco Park suite for the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Party members and leaders say that in Bonilla's media holdings, López Obrador saw a "gold mine" to gain media exposure in Baja California.
On 31 January 2018, López Obrador announced that Bonilla would be the primary Senate candidate in Baja California for the Juntos Haremos Historia coalition, forming a ticket with Alejandra León Gastélum. The Juntos Haremos Historia ticket took first place in the election, securing both candidates seats in the Senate. However, Bonilla has stated that he will only remain in office three months and will then become the state development coordinator in Baja California.
Governor of Baja California (2019–2021)
Bonilla won the 2019 gubernatorial election and assumed office on 15 November 2019. The election law had been changed in 2014, mandating another election in 2021 in order to coincide with a Constitutional mandate that gubernatorial elections must coincide with federal elections. Insisting that this meant his term would end in 2024, Morena pushed for a referendum and a legal change. The referendum passed with 82% of the vote but only 1.9% citizen turnout; the so-called Ley Bonilla (Bonilla Law) was passed by the legislature after a thirty-minute debate. On 11 May 2020, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) ruled unanimously against the law, meaning Bonilla's term would run from 1 November 2019, to 31 October 2021.
Bonilla was governor during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. As of 13 May 2020, there were 2,524 confirmed cases, 433 (23.9%) of which had ended in death. Two of the dead were two-month old babies. Tijuana was one of the most seriously affected cities in the country, with 1,216 reported cases on 10 May and 274 deaths. Mexicali had 942 cases and 96 deaths; Ensenada had 118 cases and 14 deaths (including one in San Quintin); Tecate reported 118 cases and 15 deaths; Rosarito Beach Municipality had 36 cases and 3 deaths. The first infection was reported on 17 March and 10 April had the highest report for a single day. Bonilla ordered non-essential businesses to close on 31 March and starting 7 April the state had a stay-at-home order, enforced through police checkpoints. Rent payments were suspended during April and May, and border crossings to and from the United States were limited. Despite stay-at-home orders, many factories continued to function, some after being closed by the state. Bonilla said they prefieren sacrificar a sus trabajadores antes que sus utilidades ("prefer to sacrifice their employees than their profits"). Among the companies cited were Clover (cell-phone repairs), Amphenol (fiber optics), Safran (commercial aircraft interiors), ABC Aluminium Solutions, TE Connectivity (electronics), and Turbotech.
In 2022 he was accused by the new governor, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, of corruption and embezzlement.

Haugh House

The Haugh House is a two-story, Greek-Revival lodge I-house residential building with a standing-seam gabled roof, wrapped in weatherboard, built about 1855. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 2011.
It is in the center of the Cross Keys Battlefield in Rockingham County, Virginia. It has six-over-six windows with double-hung wooden sash, exposed floor and ceiling joists, a large center hall, original, interior chambered moldings and hand-planed partition walls. It originally included two limestone chimneys, but they were damaged during the Battle of Cross Keys, during the American Civil War and subsequently removed.
John Haugh purchased 80 acres of land from his father-in-law in 1844, and began farming it. In about 1855, the house was added. A two-story rear ell was added in about 1915, and several outbuildings were added from the 1920s on.
The front portion of the building is a two-story, single-pile antebellum log I-house built in the vernacular Greek Revival style, and remains largely intact. It is three bays on a continuous cut limestone foundation. It has seven windows with six-over-six, double-hung wooden sashes, the bay has three two-over-two double-hung wooden sashes. This portion of the building suffered significant structural damage from heavy shelling during the Battle of Cross Keys.
The second portion of the house, a two-story, balloon-framed ell was constructed about 1915. Electricity was added in the late 1930s.

Circus Ring
|
Circus Ring (8 February 1979–25 November 2009) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Despite never contesting a Group One race she was the leading two-year-old filly in the United Kingdom in 1981 when she was unbeaten in three races including the Princess Margaret Stakes (by ten lengths) and the Lowther Stakes. She then developed injury problems and finished unplaced in her only appearance in 1982. Circus Ring later became a successful broodmare and was the direct female-line ancestor of the Hong Kong Horse of the Year Viva Pataca. She died in 2009 at the age of 30.
Background
Circus Ring was a dark-coated bay filly with no white markings, bred and owned by the Snailwell Stud of Newmarket, Suffolk. She was sired by High Top, who won the 2000 Guineas in 1972 and later became a successful breeding stallion. His other progeny included the St Leger Stakes winner Cut Above, the Oaks winner Circus Plume and the Prix du Jockey Club winner Top Ville. Circus Ring's dam Bell Song was a great-granddaughter of the 1000 Guineas winner Campanula, whose other descendants have included Athens Wood, Tony Bin, Dibidale (Irish Oaks), Vitiges (Champion Stakes) and Bolkonski.
The filly was sent into training with Michael Stoute at his Freemason Lodge Stables in Newmarket and was ridden in all of her races by Walter Swinburn.
Racing career
1981: two-year-old season
On her racecourse debut, Circus Ring contested a division on the Princess Maiden Stakes over six furlongs at Newmarket Racecourse in July. She was always among the leaders and accelerated clear of the field in the last quarter mile to win easily by seven lengths from Wintergrace. Later in the month, the filly was moved up in class for the Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes over six furlongs at Ascot Racecourse. She started the 4/6 favourite against a field which included several highly regarded fillies including Fairy Tern, Atossa and Silojoka. She produced what Timeform described as "one of the most breathtaking displays by a two-year-old filly that we have seen in a long time", taking the lead approaching the final furlong and sprinting clear of the field to win by ten lengths. At York Racecourse on 19 August, Circus Ring started the 1/4 favourite for the Group Two Lowther Stakes, in which her rivals were headed by the Cherry Hinton Stakes winner Travel On. Circus Ring traveled very easily throughout the race and Swinburn spent the closing stages looking round for non-existent dangers. Her winning margin of two lengths from Travel On was described by Timeform as being an inadequate measure of her superiority over her opponents. Circus Ring was being prepared for a run in the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes when she fell lame in mid-September and was retired for the season.
1982: three-year-old season
Circus Ring began the 1982 season as the clear favourite for the 1000 Guineas, despite doubts about her stamina and ability to recover from her injury of the previous season. Two weeks before the Newmarket classic she performed poorly in a training gallop and was withdrawn from the race. She eventually reappeared for the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. She looked fit and well and ran well for much of the race but faded badly in the closing stages and finished last of the eight runners behind Chalon.
Assessment
In 1981, the independent Timeform organisation gave Circus Ring a rating of 122, making her the highest-rated two-year-old filly of the season. The experienced racing journalist Peter Willett compared Circus Ring's performances to those of Mumtaz Mahal and Myrobella. In the official International Classification she was rated the joint-best two-year-old filly in Europe, equal with the Fillies' Mile winner Height of Fashion and the French-trained Play It Safe.
Stud record
Circus Ring was retired from racing to become a broodmare at the Snailwell Stud before being exported to Australia in the mid 1990s by the Coolmore Stud. She produced no known foals after 1999 and died on 25 November 2009.
Circus Ring's foals:
Douglas Fir (bay colt, foaled in 1984, sired by Busted)
Circus Act (bay filly, 1985, by Shirley Heights), dam of Brave Act (Solario Stakes, San Gabriel Handicap, Citation Handicap, Will Rogers Stakes, San Marcos Handicap), Comic, the dam of Viva Pataca and Laughing (Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes)
Lady Shipley (bay filly, 1986, by Shirley Heights), won Lupe Stakes
Rainbow Ring (bay filly, 1987, by Rainbow Quest)
Royal Circus (bay colt, 1989, by Kris), won fifteen races
Finger of Light (bay filly, 1991, by Green Desert), won one race, grand-dam of Voila Ici (Premio Roma, Gran Premio di Milano)
Ellie Ardensky (bay filly, 1992, by Slip Anchor), won two races including the Listed Upavon Stakes
Cohiba (bay colt, 1993, by Old Vic), won three races
Slip The Net (bay colt, 1994, by Slip Anchor)
Rose of Tralee (bay filly, 1995, by Sadler's Wells), dam of Serenade Rose (VRC Oaks, AJC Oaks) and female-line ancestor of Trekking.
Florilegio (bay filly, 1996, by Danehill)
Danemarque (bay filly, 1997, by Danehill)
Wild Berries (bay filly, 1999, by Danehill)
Pedigree
Circus Ring was inbred 4 x 4 to Dante, meaning that this stallion appears twice in the fourth generation of the pedigree.

And Every Day Was Overcast
|
And Every Day Was Overcast is a photo-illustrated novel by American author Paul Kwiatkowski, published on October 15, 2013, by Black Balloon Publishing.
It has been praised by Ira Glass as "a mix of this clean, spare, unaffected prose about growing up near the swamps of South Florida — plus these incredible photos .... A completely original and clearheaded voice." Alec Soth also referred to the book as "a landmark in visual storytelling."
Description
Set throughout the 1990s, And Every Day Was Overcast revolves around an unnamed male narrator coming of age in Southern Florida. In an effort to overcome his own asocial character and the anti-social behavior of those around him, the teenage narrator relies on television, alcohol and drugs to escape reality. The narrative text is complemented by over 100 photographs from Kwiatkowski's own childhood in Loxahatchee, Florida during the 1990s. Though the photographs do not directly illustrate the text, they depict a similar environment.
Publication
And Every Day Was Overcast was simultaneously released in hardcover, paperback, e-book and iBooks formats. The hardcover edition was available in a limited quantity with a photographic print signed by Kwiatkowski and a vinyl record soundtrack produced by the author and Black Balloon Publishing. The soundtrack is also digitally included on the iBooks version, along with interviews Kwiatkowski conducted with women from Southern Florida about their experiences growing up there.

Grafendahn Castle
|
Grafendahn Castle () lies in the southern Palatine Forest, the German part of the Wasgau region, just under 1 kilometre east of the small town of Dahn in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Location
The rock castle of Grafendahn belongs to the group of castles at Dahn, which also includes Altdahn and Tanstein. Although the three castles are sited next to one another on a rocky ridge, they were not built at the same time. A similar type of castle arrangement is also found e. g. in the nearby French Vosges in the upper Alsace where there is a cluster of three castles at Husseren.
History
Grafendahn was built in 1287 by Conrad of Mursel, who was a Lehnsmann or vassal of the bishops of Speyer and a nephew of Frederick of Dahn (see Altdahn). The castle was conceived from the outset as a so-called Ganerbenburg - a castle in which several families or family lines lived and worked at the same time. As early as 1288, there were five other heirs, besides Conrad Mursel, who included the counts of Sponheim. In 1339, Count John II of Sponheim purchased all parts of the site from the various parties concerned (including William of Winstein, Conrad Mursel's son-in-law) and thus became the sole owner.
In 1425, the castle defences were strengthened and, in 1437, when the House of Sponheim became extinct on the death of John V, it was transferred by inheritance treaty into the possession of the margraves of Baden. However its defences were not robust enough to withstand a siege by Prince Elector Frederick the Victorious; in 1462 he took the castle and had it slighted. It was clearly not rebuilt in a systematic way. In 1480 Hans von Trotha, who was already the liegeman of Berwartstein Castle, was also given Grafendahn as a fief by the prince elector, and took full ownership in 1485 through purchase. Nevertheless, around 1500, the castle was described as "uninhabitable".
Until 1637 the ruined castle belonged to the lords of Fleckenstein. In 1642 it changed hands again and was acquired by the tavern at Waldenburg, where it remained for about 150 years. In 1793 the site went back to the Bishopric of Speyer as Lehnsherr (liege lord), who did not enfeoff it again.
Site
Grafendahn Castle is the smallest of the three Dahn castles and is located on the middle of the five castle rock outcrops. The development of the upper ward (the Oberburg) is rather unclear today due to its modern parapet walls. In the west of the upper ward are the striking ruins of a shield wall, that was erected facing Tanstein Castle. Parts of it have survived at its original height. It was built of rusticated ashlars. Against the shield wall there was a small palas as well as several domestic buildings.
In the lower ward (the Unterburg), which is situated on two narrow rock terraces, several chambers, cattle troughs and a well shaft have survived. The castle museum has been house in a restored stable block since 1987.

Horizon label
|
A Horizon label is an adhesive postage label that is a type of variable value stamp. The labels were introduced in the United Kingdom in 2002 as part of the computerisation of the counter services of the post office network of Royal Mail using the Horizon System.
Reception
The labels received a frosty reception from philatelists initially as they were seen as replacing postage stamps, but as they have become more complex and more stamp-like, collectors have warmed to them and they have now become a popular collecting specialism in the U.K. and an established part of modern British postal history.
Timeline
The first labels were large plain labels composed purely of text but later labels are of a gold colour with a Machin head and a repeating pattern of the words ROYALMAIL in order to prevent forgery.
The principal events in the development of the labels were:
14 February 2002 – First labels used in about 1000 post offices. Plain white with straight edges.
30 April 2002 – Security slits added to prevent reuse.
August & September 2002 – Labels rolled out nationally.
April 2009 – Labels with simulated perforations appear.
8 June 2009 – First gold labels appear featuring the Machin head for Special Delivery only from the Camden High Street P.O., London. Gold labels gradually introduced nationally.
20 April 2010 – First labels with dual English-Welsh language inscriptions available from Welsh post offices.

Guitalin
|
A guitalin () is a Northern American folk instrument that is a part of the lute family, having four courses of strings. Its fourth course is tuned to an octave while the remaining courses are tuned in unisons. The instrument can be either finger picked or plucked with a plectrum. It was invented in October 1962 by Lyle Mayfield of Greenville, Illinois. The guitalin is a non-traditional, hybrid folk instrument, as it incorporates features of multiple traditional folk instruments into one.
While the original tuning consisted of a G chord in root position, the standard tuning of the guitalin which was adopted is a C chord in second inversion. Another common tuning is a second inversion G chord.
The timbre or tone quality of the guitalin can be described as a combination between a banjo and a mandolin, while the name of the instrument is derived from the combination of the names of the guitar and mandolin. The shape of the body of the instrument is an elongated trapezoid about the length of a standard guitar body.
From the time it was invented until Mayfield's death in 2012, there was much experimentation with several configurations of instruments based on the guitalin and guinjo (another of Mayfield's inventions). Among these experiments were the fretted fiddle or "friddle" or "guiddle", an 8-string fiddle, the dobrolin, the triplin (an instrument Mayfield disliked, recorded once, then scrapped), an electric (solid body) guitalin, and even a full-sized, upright guitalin bass. Other notable Mayfield instruments include the guinjo (1974), a bass mandolin (1974), the Coffee Can Lid Banjo (1974), a Commodophone (a spoof instrument using a toilet seat for a top), the Echo Guitar (1992), the Mayfield Guitar (1998), the Mariachi bass (1998), a variation on the hard-top banjo (2006), the Mayfield Pear Guitars (2005), a variation on the Manjo (2006), the Round Cornered Guitalin (Martin Smith, 2006), the Round Head Guitars (Martin Smith, 2007), and variations on the Mandola (2008) and the Dreadnought Guitar (2008).
Tuning
There are several ways a guitalin is tuned. The most common tuning is a second inversion C chord with the courses of 2 adjacent strings tuned in unison with the lowest course (4th course) tuned an octave apart. This common tuning is GCEG.
fourth course (lowest tone of 4th course): G3 ( Hz), fourth course (highest tone of 4th course): G4 ( Hz)
third course: C4 ( Hz)
second course: E4 ( Hz;)
first course: G4 ( Hz)
Secondary Tuning (original tuning):
fourth course (lowest tone of 4th course): G3 ( Hz), fourth course (highest tone of 4th course): G4 ( Hz)
third course: B3 ( Hz)
second course: D4 ( Hz;)
first course: G4 ( Hz)
Other tunings used in recordings include a root position G chord, and root position F chord, and even the standard ukulele tuning of G-C-E-A.
History
The instrument was invented by Lyle Mayfield of Greenville, Illinois. It was originally conceived as a toy instrument in October 1962 for his 3-year-old son, Layne Mayfield, when he asked for a guitar to play. Lyle was known for designing and building hybrid folk instruments which combined two or three instrument features into a single instrument. In Lyle's personal writings discovered after his death, he describes the origins of the guitalin as follows:
"I decided to build a toy instrument for him to play with. In my workshop I had some 1/4” mahogany wall paneling, some banjo parts, some mandolin parts, and some pine wood from a packing crate. From these components I fashioned a simple instrument that was somewhat wedge-shaped. Using a mandolin set of machine heads and a mandolin bridge I strung it with four sets of duals over a guitar sized fingerboard. While building the instrument, I realized that if I just left it untuned my small son would be beating on a dischordant set of strings. I decided to tune it to an open chord...G."
Lyle goes on further to say in his writings that "when [he] tuned the instrument up the sound was so impressive [he] decided to keep it as a working instrument. It was at that time that Layne lost his instrument."
A few notable folk musicians have played the instrument and have found it noteworthy. Among these are Jimmy Driftwood (composer of "The Battle of New Orleans" and "Tennessee Stud"), Grammy Award winner Doc Watson and The Bray Brothers, who featured the Mayfield guitalin on their album "Prairie Bluegrass" on the tune "Barbara Allen" from the label Rounder Records, originally recorded in 1962 for WHOW radio in Clinton, Illinois. Recordings of these musicians with the guitalin can be found on the "history" page at the Mayfield Music Company website.
In the 1960s, Lyle and Doris Mayfield were involved in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Campus Folksong Club and were associated with Archie Green during that time. In the mid-1960s, Lyle was credited for bringing the native music of Illinois to the Campus Folksong Club and appeared on recordings that the club produced, including the "Green Fields of Illinois" record. He and Doris regularly appeared in performances held by the Folksong Club, commonly referred to as "folk sings". They also volunteered their time and talents to perform for other events and venues.
In 1976, Lyle and Doris Mayfield, along with their son Layne, were invited by the Smithsonian Institution to represent Southern Illinois at the American Bicentennial Smithsonian Folklife Festival. It was at this event that they had a good opportunity to showcase some of their unique folk instruments; namely the guitalin and guinjo. Throughout most of the 1970s, the Mayfields devoted much time to preserving traditional southern Illinois music and folklore. Additionally, they were the founders and principle sponsors of the annual Southern Illinois Folk Convention in the early 1970s.
The craft of building the instruments was passed on to younger members of the family who continue to produce them out of both Greenville, Illinois and Dallas, Texas. Martin Smith of Greenville, Illinois and Nathan Smith (Lyle Mayfield's youngest grandson) of Plano, Texas are co-owners of Mayfield Music Company. As a team, they continue to improve upon the original Mayfield designs and are currently in the process of preparing new hybrid folk instrument designs for release starting in mid-to-late 2014.
Modern use
In the summer of 2013, the instrument was discovered by indie folk musician Sufjan Stevens, who contacted Nathan Smith, current owner of Mayfield Music Company, to inquire about having one built for him. On March 31, 2015, Sufjan released the album Carrie & Lowell, which features two Mayfield guitalins. In April 2015, Sufjan began a tour for the album, with the guitalins making an appearance. This marks the first use of a guitalin on a major record since 1964, when The Bray Brothers featured one on the song "Barbara Allen", from their album "Prairie Bluegrass", released under Rounder Records.

Since (film)
|
Since (also known as Kennedy’s Assassination) is a 1966 film directed by Andy Warhol about the assassination of the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. The film reconstructs the assassination with both Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson present, both before and after the event. The roles in Since are performed by Warhol's "superstars" from The Factory.
The film is based on the media coverage of the assassination and the speeches of Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy as President of the United States. The film is 67 minutes long, and shot on 16 mm film in color. It has been described as unfurnished.
Background
Warhol had been unmoved by the Kennedy assassination, commenting that he wasn't bothered that he was dead, but was bothered by "...the way the television and radio were programming everybody to feel so sad. It seemed like no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't get away from the thing." Warhol had already created the silkscreen paintings Sixteen Jackies, Nine Jackies, Jackie (The Week That Was) and Gold Jackie of Jacqueline Kennedy, and explored the reporting of the assassination in a series of eleven prints, Flash - November 22, 1963.
Plot
The film begins with a close up of Ondine, with an off-screen voice saying that the film will follow the "Oswald model on television". The voice adds that "First it happened, then it was played back in tape, and then it was played back in slow motion." The voice also says that the performers don't have to maintain "stiff character portrayals" and are free to assume other roles, assuming they have "assumed that role by choice originally."
The voice says that the setting of the film is not in Dallas, a fact immediately contradicted by Ondine, playing Lyndon Johnson. Ondine indicates that Ingrid Superstar is Jacqueline Kennedy, after initially assuming that he himself was President Kennedy in confusion. Ondine announces his intention to hire assassins, and Gerard Malanga and Ronnie Cutrone appear as assassins. In planning the assassination Ondine fails to remember the street on which it occurred, before saying that "I don't know, I didn't even see it."
Playing Kennedy, Mary Woronov waves a large sheet of red paper, indicating that she has been shot. Malanga then shoots Woronov with a banana, causing Ondine to exclaim that he was "a little late". Ondine then reads a speech to the American people.
The assassination is then restaged, with Malanga shooting Woronov, and the camera zooming in on the red paper blood. Ingrid Superstar asks "Who got shot?" before playing with Richard Rheem's hair. Susan Bottomly, playing Jacqueline Kennedy, leaps over a couch, which acts as the car in the Presidential motorcade. Bottomly is asked to leap again in slow motion, and the sound cuts out. Ronnie Cutrone then shoots Woronov, in pretend slow motion, the camera again focuses on the crumpled paper blood. Ondine tells Ingrid Superstar to be Lady Bird Johnson, the new First Lady of the United States, and is annoyed that she is not taking her role seriously. The War on Poverty is mentioned, and Superstar says that "We should omit poverty and paranoia."
A man wearing a red shirt then portrays President Kennedy, and lies in a pool of blood. The TV show You Are There is referenced, and after someone mentions that they are on their way to the hospital, Ondine says of Kennedy that "He's dead".
Cutrone, eating a banana, and Malanga, are taken by Secret Service agents through a passageway, and Malanga is shot. They are told to do it again as it wasn't a traumatic situation, and wouldn't "shock the world for four days". Cutrone then portrays Lee Harvey Oswald, and Malanga, playing Jack Ruby, shoots him with a banana. The shooting is then restaged, Cutrone falls to his knees with reporters trying to interview him. Ruby is taken away. Cutrone smokes a cigarette, and a voice announces that this is the "slow motion version", but the "regular rapid-motion version" will have to be done." An inflatable Baby Ruth chocolate bar then appears.
The participants in Since wave to the camera at the start of the second reel of film. Ondine says "There's Neiman Marcus", to which Susan Bottomly, playing Jacqueline Kennedy says "Oh, Hi". While the participants in the Presidential motorcade are discussing whether to have the top of the car down, Kennedy is shot by Oswald, and the camera zooms in and out on the crumpled red paper, and finally focuses on Ivy Nicholson's red stockings. Ondine then compliments Bottomly, calling her the "loveliest first lady we've ever had, outside of Abigail van Buren", and then an inflatable Baby Ruth bar is delivered as a message. The camera then quickly moves around while it is explained that President Kennedy has been shot. Ondine complains that the other characters are "absolutely boring", but praises Woronov claiming she "may have been the most interesting person here." Ondine then addresses the other participants, telling them to "keep attention away from Jack" and "play a kind of vague scene". Ondine then insults others and shouts "What the hell is the matter with you people?." Ondine then argues with Nicholson, but Malanga and Cutrone rush on and drop two inflatable Baby Ruth bars on the performers.
The camera then blurs and Malanga and Cutrone reappear and beat the participants with the Baby Ruth bars. A voice announces that Oswald is being transferred from prison, and Malanga and Cutrone are shown with whips. Malanga and Cutrone congratulate Ondine on becoming president, and then Malanga as Jack Ruby shoots Cutone playing Oswald. A press conference is enacted, and Ondine imitates Edward R. Murrow to say thank you and good night. Malanga walks around the set cracking his whip, and then asks Ondine if he has "anything to get high with". The film ends after Cutrone kicks the inflatable Baby Ruth bar in the air several times.

Reception
J. J. Murphy, in his 2012 book The Black Hole of the Camera: The Films of Andy Warhol, wrote that Since "seems so heavily reliant on improvisation that at times it loses any clear sense of direction", and added that the film was quite "comedic". Murphy added that the participants in the film appeared to be "confused about events". Murphy says that Since shows the inability of a theatrical event to hold people's interest as it cannot deploy the same techniques that television does. Murphy concludes his analysis by saying that Warhol's restaging of the assassination was not as a historical event but thanks to television, as the "media spectacle it truly was."
