Abstract: The metamorphosis in the 1920s and '30s of the William Powell persona from ethnic villain to romantic lead is an index of

about assimilation onto other issues, such as passion, violence, and crime.

control of program content, and new television advertising strategies.

Abstract: That "Godzilla" (1954) protested United States H-bomb tests along the Bikini Atoll seems at once obvious and repressed. Godzilla
is, after all, a comic icon in the United States. Placing the genre in a historical context reveals its dual inscription into
Japanese and American culture and its ongoing political message, from H-bomb tests to "Star Wars."
