Newsreel A periodic compilation of references to Ithaca College in the nation’s media. The rituals surrounding the transition to retirement can be both comforting and disturbing, said Joel Savishinsky, an anthropologist who recently followed 26 men and women through retirement for his book Breaking the Watch: The Meanings of Retirement in America, to be published in the fall by Cornell University Press. "For a lot of people, how hard or easy it was for them to deal with their last day of work or first week of retirement depends upon how successful their retirement rituals were," said Dr. Savishinsky, who teaches at Ithaca College in upstate New York. — New York Times, February 16, 2000 Nice work, if you can get it: "I have the dream job," said Ithaca College sports professor Stephen Mosher. "I watch ESPN and tell people what it means." — Los Angeles Times, December 21, 1999 Rod Serling was just 50 when he died in 1975, and while he was one of television’s most imaginative writers, even he couldn’t have guessed how widely his influence would be felt a quarter-century later. Tonight, 30 years to the day after its original airing as a Hallmark Hall of Fame, Serling’s Emmy-winning examination of bigotry, "A Storm in Summer," returns to TV in a new version starring Peter Falk and directed by legendary film director Robert Wise. Wise and company investigated Serling’s papers at Ithaca College and discovered various drafts of the original script. That enabled them to expand the story. — Newsday, February 6, 2000
