arrested for
burglary,
arson

By Sean Rose and Blair Thomas
news@kykerne|.com

Two UK freshmen were arrested on
robbery and arson charges last week.

August Anthony Mapp. 18. was ar-
rested early Wednesday after two re-
ports of robbery and assault. Robert
Erik Gregory. 18. was arrested Friday
on suspicion of the same crimes.

According to police reports. both
students are Holmes Hall residents and
are from Louisville. Mapp is listed as a
pre~marketing major. and Gregory is
undecided.

Around 12:35 am. Wednesday,
Lexington Police responded to a rob-
bery report at 20] Simpson Ave.. Sgt.
Pete Ford of the Lexington Police said.

Ford said a man approached a
woman who was standing outside and
demanded money. then attacked her
when she refused. According to a po-
lice report. the woman‘s boyfriend ran
to help her when a second man at-
tacked him. Both suspects ran away
from the scene. not completing the rob-
bery.

About 10 minutes later, another
robbery report was called in at 333 Le-
gion Drive. Two black males wearing
masks and dark clothes. which matched
the description of the suspects in the
previous incident. forced entry into an
apartment.

The men were armed with a knife
and took some jewelry from the couple
that lived in the apartment. Ford said.

During the robbery. the suspects
sexually assaulted the woman who
lived there and physically assaulted
both occupants.

Ford didn't go into detail on the in-
cident. but said that the physical abuse
was caused with hands and fists. Ford
said that to the best of his knowledge
all victims were “doing fine."

“I don't think anyone sustained any
serious physical injuries." Ford said.

Before leaving the apartment. the
suspects tried to set it on fire.

According to police reports. the
suspects poured vodka around the
room. lit toilet paper on fire and told
the victims. “we‘ll burn you." before
throwing it on the ground.

Mapp was detained by UK Police
shortly after the second incident be-
cause he fit descriptions given by the
victims and witnesses, Ford said. Lex—
ington Police arrested him shortly after.

Gregory was arrested by Lexington
Police Friday based on information
gathered from the investigation and
provided by Mapp. witnesses and the
victims.

Mapp was released on a bond of
$10,000 Thursday. Gregory was still
incarcerated at the Fayette County jail
yesterday with a bond of $25000.

Mapp has a preliminary hearing
Thursday.

'I'I'le l7i8l-l

By Susan King
Los Angelas Times

HOLLYWOOD - Peter
Bogdanovich's rarely screened
I971 documentary “Directed by
John Ford" has taken on almost
mythic proportions over the
decades.

Narrated by Bogdanovich‘s
good friend. director Orson
Welles. the film featured inter-
views with the crusty. cantan-
kerous Oscar—winning Ford as
well as John Wayne. Henry Fon—
da and Jimmy Stewart. who had
appeared in many of Ford's
ﬁlms.

While the film earned ac-
claim for its insight into Ford's
mastery. Bogdanovich was nev~
or quite pleased with his work
on it. “I thought the interviews
were good and Orson's narration
was good. but I didn‘t think it
was good enough. It was OK."

The American Film Insti—
tute, which produced the film.
"ran out of money. so they were
never able to clear the clips."
says Bogdanovich. "Conse-
quently. as a result. the l97l
version was hardly ever seen -—
just at a couple of film festi—
vals."

That worked in the film's
favor. adds Bogdanovich. the di—
rector of such classics as "The
Last Picture Show" and "What's
Up. Doc?"

“Legend comes from inac—
cessibility." he says. "Every—
body always wanted to see it."
And when they did. it was a hit.
such as its screening in the late
1990s at the Tclluride Film Fes-
tival.

“lt played like gangbusters."
he recalls. “People loved it. But
I didn't. What carried it were
those interviews with Wayne.
Stewart. Fonda and Ford."

So Bogdanovich decided to
rework “Directed by John
Ford.” keeping everything that
he liked from the original. ditch—
ing the rest and adding new in-
terviews with the likes of direc-
tors Clint Eastwood. Steven
Spielberg. Walter Hill and Mar-
tin Scorsese. who were all in—
spired by Ford's work.

The refurbished “Directed
by John Ford" premieres Tues—
day night on Turner Classic
Movies and kicks off a Ford
film festival on the cable net-
work.

Ford. who died in 1973 of
stomach cancer at the age of 79,
was the consummate director.

Beginning his career during
the silent era. Ford quickly de-
veloped into one of Hollywood‘s
master storytellers. He was a di-
rector with a keen visual sense
and a lyrical approach to his sto-
ries. He had an uncanny ability
with actors and developed his
own stock company of players.

including Wayne. Maureen
O'Hara. Ward Bond and Victor
McLaglen.

He is the only director to
have won four Academy Awards
for best director: 1935's "The
Informer." l940's “The Grapes
of Wrath." 1941‘s "How Green
Was My Valley" and 1952's
"The Quiet Man." In a career
that spanned over half a century,
Ford directed such seminal
westerns as 1939's “Stage-
coach." which made Wayne a

A fresh
spin on an
old favorite

star; l946’s "My Darling
Clementine": 1948's “Fort
Apache,“ 1949's “She Wore a
Yellow Ribbon." l956's "The
Searchers" and his last master—
work. l962's "The Man Who
Shot Liberty Valance."

The most moving moments
in the new documentary are ex-
cerpts from an audio tape that
Ford's grandson. Dan. made
while Katharine Hepburn was
visiting Ford as he lay dying.

The two had become lovers
when he directed her in 1936 in
"Mary of Scotland." Ford. who
comes across as a feisty cur-
mudgeon in his interviews with
Bogdanovich. is sweetly tender
when he talks with Hepburn for
what will be the last time.

However. what‘s really
heartbreaking is the conversa-
tion between the two after Dan
left the room.

"Dan inadvertently left the
tape running,“ says Bog-
danovich.

In those moments. Ford pro-
fesses his love for the actress.
Hepburn quietly tells him that
she also loves him.

“Isn't it amazing?" says
Bogdanovich. "It was quite a
job to get clearance because we
had to clear it with the Hepburn
estate."

The reworking of the film
— and adding the new inter-
views with the directors w
gives it an entirely different per-
spective. says Bogdanovich.
"It's another generation looking
back. and they are very vocal
about how they were influenced
by Ford."

as a host venue in the toumament.

“We just feel really cheated." freshman midﬁelder
Jase Grifﬁths said. “We were second in our region and
second in the (C-USA) tournament."

Griffiths said that the team felt they had a stronger
record than some of the other teams selected.

“All this hard work was for nothing." Griffiths
said.

He said that the team was obviously upset and still
very shocked with their omission from the touma-
merit. especially the seniors on the squad. The team
felt there was no reason UK should have been left out
and that personal preferences against UK with some
of the selection coaches may have played a part. Grif-
fiths said.

“We felt we had a good team that could make a
good run. We’re just shocked and disgusted." Griffiths
said.

NBC broadcaster found

career by

By Chris Wei:
news®kykerneicom

Tom Hammond had never taken a
communications course when he graduat-
ed from UK in 1967 with an animal sci—
ence degree and an interest in thorough-
bred racing.

But. when he was asked to stand in
for a friend who read horserace results on
the radio one day. “it all took off from
there." he said.

Less than 20 years later, Hammond
was signed to a long-term contract with
the National Broadcasting Company as a
co-host for the annual Breeder‘s Cup.

Hammond has covered NBA. NFL
and college basketball and football games
for NBC. He has worked as a commenta-
tor at past Summer and Winter Olympic
events. Hammond has even called the
Kentucky Derby.

He has accomplished all of this with-
out any college broadcast training.

“My story is not a typical one for a
sports broadcaster," Hammond said.

His story. however. is what led the
UK Alumni Association to choose Ham-
mond as the speaker for the inaugural
event in the “How Do I Become..." lec—
ture series. Alumni Program Coordinator
Jill Holloway said.

Hammond‘s lecture is today at 6 pm.
in Memorial Hall. A question-and-answer
session will follow the talk.

“lHammondl discovered broadcasting
by accident." Holloway said.

“(Now) he has called every sporting

accident

event you can think of besides the Super
Bowl," Holloway said.

The "How Do I Become..." lecture
series is new at UK and is modeled after
a similar program at George Washington
University. Holloway said she hopes to
continue the series with an event in the
spring. '

“The object [of the lecture series] is
to bring back talented alumni who have
been highly successful in their fields and
who will inspire students." Holloway
said.

Holloway said the lecture series spot-
lights those who have left UK and have
gone on to accomplish “incredible
things."

“Stories like Tom‘s prove that UK
graduates can compete with the best in
the nation." Holloway said.

“He is one of the most famous sports-
casters. and he is right here in our back-
yard." Holloway said.

Hammond said he will speak to those
in attendance about identifying their indi-
vidual passions. even if those passions
are as unexpected as his were for him.

Hammond said he has great ties to the
UK community. His grandfather. Thomas
Poe Cooper, was a former dean of the
College of Agriculture and former presi-
dent of UK.

Hammond said he looks forward to
interacting with the students.

“It is always great to come back."
Hammond said. "It keeps you young to
have a discourse with the students of to—
day."

National security, Iraq dominate debate

By Jim VandeHei and Dan Balz
The Washington Post “—

WASHINGTON _ As the 2006 cam-
paigns staggered to an angry close. national
security and the Iraq war dominated the fi—
nal-day debate of midterm elections in
which national themes. not simply local
choices, have framed the most competitive
races. Democrats said that a vote for them
would force change in Iraq strategy. while
President Bush led the GOP charge in warn-
ing that the opposition party cannot be trust-
ed in a time of war.

Dozens of too-close-to—call House and
Senate races finished on a surly tone. as the
traditional political strategy of shifting to a
positive message at the end gave way this
year to a calculation that the best chance to
tip the balance was through continued at—
tacks over personal character and alleged
corruption.

But strategists on both sides said Mon—
day that national security broadly ~— and
Iraq specifically —~ are likely to determine
control of Congress today. Unlike the 2002
and 2004 elections. when Republicans held
a decisive edge on national security. polls
over the past year have shown the public
losing faith in the war and the GOP. and De—
mocratic candidates nationwide were using
their last TV advertising dollars on spots
critical of Iraq policy.

“I think. frankly. people don‘t belicye
the president anymore" when it comes to the
war. Democratic National C ommittcc (‘hair~
man Howard Dean. echoing other party
leaders. said in an interview. "We are telling
people if they want to stay the course. vote
Republican. If you want a change of direc»
tion. vote Democrat."

Bush. however. was betting that the Re—
publican Party's historic advantage with vot-
ers in times when security issues are promi-
nent would pay dividends again. “As you go
to the polls. remember we‘re at war." he told
thousands of GOP supporters in Pensacola.
Fla. “And if you want this country to do
everything in its power to protect you and at
the same time lay a foundation for peace for
generations to come. vote Republican."

Democrats confidently predicted that
they will win control of the House and trim
if not topple the GOP's Senate majority. Re»
publican operatives. however. said there is

mounting evidence that fears about the nu-
clear threats in Iran and North Korea. cou—
pled with more generalized doubts about
Democratic competence and fortitude on na-
tional security. have provided GOP candi—
dates with much-needed momentum in the
final days. GOP tracking polls. these strate-
gists said. have shown a slight but steady
uptick since Sen. John F. Kerry. D—Mass.. in
what he called a botched joke. suggested
that uneducated people end up fighting in
Iraq —» a comment that infuriated top De-
mocrats despite the 2004 presidential nomi—
nee‘s repeated apologies and explanations.

"All of those things remind people we
are at war and the importance of the nation—
al security issue.“ said Ken Mehlman. chair—
man of the Republican National Committee.

There are more than two dozen House
races and at least five Senate contests that
both sides considered too close to call head-
ing into Election Day. A series of public
polls released over the past few days offers
contradictory findings about the public‘s
views nationally and in many key races.
confounding strategists in both parties.
Some surveys show Republicans gaining on
the generic question of whom they plan to
vote for. while others suggest that Democ—
rats are pulling away. The most recent. from
CNN. showed Democrats with a 20-point
advantage on the so—callcd generic ballot
question. which asks people which party
they prefer btit does not offer a choice be»
tween specific candidates.

Whether Republicans will succumb to
adverse trends or manage to at least partly
blunt them Will determine whether Democ-
rats can win back the House or Senate or
both 7— all scenarios that could dramatically
change the trajectory of Bush's final two
years in office.

Regardless of the margins. officials in
both parties are planning for the stiffest
challenge yet to Bush's war policy when
(‘ongrcss returns for its lame»duck session
next week. Lawmakers are also bracing for
GOP leadership changes in the House and
Senate and a new policy agenda that is not
dictated by the White House. Rep. Mike
Pence. R
