Abstract

This article deals with a play that relates the struggles of newsboys in New York and New Jersey during a strike against newspaper publishers William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer in 1899. On scene one of the play, the newsboys talk about the difficulties they experienced with the rising cost of newspapers. On scene two, the newsboys gather outside Hearst's newspaper company to try to talk to Hearst about the rising cost of newspaper.

Abstract

Three digital precision bathymetric data sets spanning 16.1 yr enabled a long-term analysis of the geometric, migration, and volumetric changes to large bedforms in a 1 km² region of eastern Long Island Sound. Whereas a 1 yr study of sand wave mechanics during 1987 provided indirect evidence of long-term southwestward transport, this study adds a June 2003 data set and conclusively demonstrates a basinward (southwestward) progression of sand waves between 7 and 17 m in height. In addition, the modus operandi of sand wave migration during various temporal scales involves crestal flexing, crestal rotation, and differential migration along the crest. A volumetric analysis suggests that the sand waves are in a waning phase of migration and early stage of preservation as sea level rises into the basin and flood-dominant tidal currents decrease in strength.
