Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Eine wenig Geschichte:

I'm reading Goethe's Theory of Colors that I got from the community college library. The book has an introduction by Deane Judd, an expert on the psychological impact of color, who wrote:

Some of the explanations are correct, but most of them spring from Goethe's own version of Aristotle's view of color, largely repudiated and so far unproductive.
Here's Goethe's work in a historical timeline:

1859  Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchoff invented the spectroscope
1840  Charles Lock Eastlake translated Theory of Colors
1810  Johann Goethe wrote Theory of Colors
1807  Thomas Young published the wave theory of light
1671  Robert Boyle developed a color theory
1665  Newton's experiments and theory of light
c340 BC  Theophrastus, a student of Aristotle, mused on color

I want to finish the book at the beach next week. [101-365]

A Message From MoveOn.org
Dear MoveOn member,

This isn't an email asking you to sign a petition or give money.

It's simply a celebration of a victory.

75 television executives from network affiliates descended on Capitol Hill yesterday to prevent the House appropriations committee from voting for a partial rollback of the FCC rule changes.

Because of you and thousands of others, Congress did something unprecedented yesterday. Republican committee member Frank Wolf urged his colleagues to vote their conscience, and stand up to the lobbyists. And they did just that, delivering a 40-25 vote against big media.

Conservative columnist William Safire wrote in today?s New York Times: "Here is what made this happen: Take the force of right-wingers upholding community standards who are determined to defend local control of the public airwaves; combine that with the force of lefties eager to maintain diversity of opinion in local media; add in the independent voters' mistrust of media manipulation; then let all these people have access to their representatives by e-mail and fax, and voilà! Congress awakens to slap down the power grab." (URL below)

The rollback still has a long way to go, but this is another big step in our march to reverse the FCC and create a more diverse, independent and skeptical media.

Your active participation is working. Congress is listening. There will be more work in the weeks and months ahead. Stay tuned and stay involved. For more information on media reform efforts, go to http://www.mediareform.net or http://www.commoncause.org.

Sincerely, --Eli Pariser MoveOn.org July 17th, 2003
