A. Scott BergOne of the most legendary, controversial and enigmatic figures in American history, Charles Lindbergh, is the subject of author A. Scott Berg's speech, "Lindbergh: The Man and The Myth," on Thursday, April 29, at the annual dinner of University of Delaware Library Associates. The speech will help to clarify a life long blurred by myth and legend.
The dinner will be held at Arsht Hall on the UD Wilmington Campus. A cash bar will open at 6 p.m., with dinner and program to follow at 7 p.m. The evening is open to the public by reservation. Prices are $55 per person for UDLA members, $75 per person for guests and $600 for a corporate table of eight.
Berg, author of Lindbergh, based his book on the papers of both Charles Lindbergh and his widow, Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The result, published in 1998, was a resounding success.
G.C. Ward wrote in The New York Times Book Review, "In Lindbergh A. Scott Berg brings us about as close as I suspect we will ever get to the man himself." M.J. Ybarra, reviewer for The Wall Street Journal, called the book "compelling...[the] kind of heroic, tragic and ultimately puzzling subject that is irresistible in its complexity." The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review called Lindbergh, "one of the most important biographies of the decade...an extraordinary achievement."
From the moment Lindbergh landed in Paris on May 21, 1927, he became the first modern media superstar. He was a romantic symbol for the new aviation age and all its possibilities. The worldwide frenzy that surrounded Lindbergh signified fame, opportunity and wealth. It would also come to signify tragedy, loneliness and frustration.
Berg graduated cum laude from Princeton University. His senior thesis on Maxwell Perkins, the legendary editor who "discovered" and developed F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe and numerous other important writers, won the Charles William Kennedy Prize. Berg spent the next seven years expanding this thesis into Max Perkins: Editor of Genius, which became a national bestseller and won the 1978 National Book Award. He also wrote the bestseller, Goldwyn: A Biography.
Berg has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Great Britain, is a member of the Author's Guild, the Writer's Guild of America, PEN Center USA West, and the Century Association. Recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, he currently lives in Los Angeles. After the speech, Berg will sign copies of his books and entertain questions.
To request an invitation, send an e-mail message to <UDLA@mvs.udel.edu> or call the Office of the Director of Libraries at 831-2231.

The 1999 Black Arts Festival begins Wednesday, April 7, with two events, the showing of A Son of Africa: A Slave Narrative, at 4 p.m. at the Center for Black Culture, and a presentation by Sabrina Sojourner, the first acknowledged lesbian to campaign for the U.S. Congress from the District of Columbia, at 8 p.m. in Rooms 209-211 of the Trabant University Center.
Sojourner will be at the University to talk about her experiences and her intention to push for statehood for Washington, D.C., the district she represents. She received 83 percent of the vote to win. As one of the few African-American women in Congress, she has said she hopes to affect other legislators on issues relating to gays and lesbians, women and African Americans.
Sojourner has been working for women's and lesbian rights as director of diversity programs and women of color programs for the National Organization for Women. She is a nationally recognized educator on diversity and multiculturalism and has been instrumental in developing programs that attempt to bring people of different backgrounds, races, genders and sexual orientation together.
The lecture is sponsored
by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Concerns Office at UD. Other festival programs are scheduled during April. For more information, call 831-8703.
The annual debate involving UD and British speakers will take place this year at 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 7, in the Multipurpose Room of the Trabant University Center. This year's topic is "Is American Culture an Oxymoron?" The free, public forum will feature UD students Diana Fulfara, a junior, and seniors Justin Jones and John Maguire, all of whom have debated British visitors previously; plus junior Chris Wesley, a first-time member of the UD team.
Moderator will be Robert Leamon, a graduate student in physics. The UD team is coached
by David Standingford, mechanical engineering.
The British team is composed of students from Cambridge University. The free public program is sponsored by the Student Center Program Activities Board.
Sheldon Pollack, accounting, will appear on two Philadelphia television stations to discuss federal income tax in the coming weeks. A tax attorney, Pollack is the author of The Failure of U.S. Tax Policy, published in 1996 and recently issued in paperback. He will be interviewed at 7:30 a.m., Sunday, April 4, on Fox Focus, WTXF-TV (Channel 29) and at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 10, on WCAU Morning News (Channel 3).
Mary Catherine, the award-winning, one-act play by Richard Gaw, housing, will be performed at 12:10 p.m., Tuesday, April 13, at the Bacchus Theatre in the Perkins Student Center.
The free, 50-minute performance will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the cast, director and playwright. Audience members are invited to bring their lunch, and beverages will be provided.
For reservations, telephone 831-4620 or send e-mail to <nsocc@udel.edu> by April 9.
The play was named "Best Production" at the Delaware State Play Festival on March 13. Scott F. Mason, student centers, and Raymond Harrington received "Best Actor" awards for their performances as brothers exploring their family's past.
Mary Catherine will represent the state of Delaware at the regional theatre festival at the Wye Mills Conference Center in Queenstown, Md., on Saturday, April 10.
The play is produced in association with the Commission on the Status of Women, the Faculty Staff Assistance Program and the Chapel Street Theatre.
For more information, call the Office of Women's Affairs at 831-8063.
