Some facts about Mantanmoreland

  • The name. Why "Mantanmoreland"? Because I am distantly related to the real Mantan Moreland. That's why! It's my tribute to a great and underappreciated actor. No, I'm not African-American, not that it matters. I suppose that, if one wanted to be precise, you could say I am of primarily Irish-American ancestry with some leavening thrown in.
  • My interests: See below.
  • I became involved in an editing war a couple of months ago. I have vowed, "Never again!"
  • I've run out of facts!

My proudest contributions to date

  • To my amazement, I found that there was no article on the great novelist and screenwriter Richard Price! So, in the best traditions of Misplaced Pages, I went ahead and created one.
  • Ditto for Avery Corman. Again, I was surprised that this other very popular novelist was not the subject of an article.
  • Ditto for other writers/journos whose work I admire. Will try to create/expand articles, to the extent I can.
  • I'm rather pleased, if I say so myself, with my contributions to The Nation. The issue of how to label that magazine, which had been under discussion without any real resolution, has finally been resolved after I suggested that we use the magazine's own description. So a hardy self-administered pat on the back!

My interests

  • Old movies, particularly film noir, and funky old novels interest me. I hope to make contributions to the project in these areas.
  • My professional interests mainly revolve around the securities industry and trading issues.
  • Religion. I am a "lapsed" Roman Catholic, but have an active interest in other religions and was, at one time, actively interested in reviving my Jewish heritage. I am of partially Jewish descent, and am proud of it.
  • Geopolitics. But my learning curve is steep, if that is the correct word.
  • New York City history. I was born in the 'burbs but lived in the Bronx while in college. The experience was transformative.
  • Ireland! I need say no more.
