Topic: Mondello, Bob


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Flying Glass
We caught up with Bob and his latest project at the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals in Indianapolis, where his success in securing backing from American Racing Wheels supplied 10 of the vintage beasts, most of which are still capable of running the quarter-mile.
Bob has owned a variety of Funny Cars since the ’70s, including restoring the original ’72 Chi-Town Hustler Challenger (now on display in the NHRA Historical Collection in Pomona, California) and this ’73 Duster—his second such restoration project.
Mondello Head Service, another name out of the past, supplied a set of iron heads using Donovan valves, while a Crager intake sporting a 6-71 Littelfield blower and an Enderle injector top off the combination.

Mondello will talk about his love of "The General," of Keaton's body of work and of silent movies and old-fashioned theater organs, on a special live broadcast of KUER's "Radio West" Saturday at 7 p.m.
Mondello traces his love for silent film back to the 1970s, when he was a publicist for a small theater chain in the Washingon, D.C., area - and one of the theaters had a silent-film festival, with a live accompanist.
Mondello said of Utah that "you cannot imagine how lucky you are" to be home to three working theater organs: the Capitol, the Organ Loft in South Salt Lake and the recently restored organ at Peery's Egyptian Theatre in Ogden.

 NPR : Bob Mondello
For NPR News listeners, a movie isn't a "must see" until NPR film critic and commentator Bob Mondello says it is. Each year, Mondello screens more than 150 new releases, assessing each on its cinematic merits, then sharing his critiques of the cream of the crop with NPR's award-winning newsmagazine All Things Considered.
After graduation, Mondello spent more than a decade in entertainment advertising, working in public relations for a movie theater chain and learning the ins and outs of the film industry.
Mondello confesses that in addition to his work with major news outlets, "I've written for every small paper in Washington that has ever folded." But admits he "hasn't been able to kill off the local public television and radio station yet, thank heaven!"

The Texas senator is co-sponsoring the bill with her Democratic colleague Bob Graham from Florida, whose state has also won through litigation a load of tobacco lucre.
The two senators contend that the blocking measure is necessary to stop the federal government from grasping for any of the $246 billion in settlements that 46 states have reached with the tobacco industry.
During that time, Mondello says, it just so happened that the senator, unlike most of her colleagues, had to launch two full-scale campaigns, one for a special election in 1993 and another one a year later for a full-term battle at the ballot box.

 Irish Fiat Punto Abarth Cup 2003
Establishing the lap record for the championship with fastest lap of the race, Smith made a late challenge for victory in the 12 lap encounter but Denning managed to hold him off on the final run to the chequered flag.
Up front Bob Copeland took the win from Bill Griffin to become only the third different winner of the season while Denning and Leonard recovered to finish 6th and 8th respectively.
Following the race and much video evidence, officials put Dening back two places for his clash with Leonard but this had no effect on the outcome of the title as the Rathfarnham driver was crowned 2003 Fiat Punto Abarth Cup Champion by a margin of five points.

 dustbury.com: Utter Zeuslessness
The hook for Bob Mondello's review of Troy on NPR's All Things Considered today was reasonable enough: while Hollywood has often dredged up stories from the Roman Empire, tales from the glory that was Greece are few and far between.
Mondello was his usual glib self, and then came the obligatory bumper music: the last few bars of the fourth movement of Gustav Holst's The Planets, the movement titled "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity." A Roman god.
I don't think this was the sort of jollity they intended to bring.
