Dahlem is a locality of the Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough in southwestern Berlin. Until Berlin's 2001 administrative reform it was a part of the former borough of Zehlendorf. Dahlem is one of a center for academic research, it is home to the Freie Universität Berlin, with its Philological Library by Norman Foster as a landmark. Several other research institutions. Although Dahlem has a reputation as an idyllic and quiet area, it is busy with students arriving by U-Bahn on weekdays; the first written account of Dahlem dates to the year 1275. The history of the village is connected to the Dahlem Demesne first mentioned in 1450, its estates were sold to the state of Prussia in 1841 and developed by dividing it into lots for building villas and mansions. The Demesne buildings today house a working farm and an agricultural open-air museum. In 1920 the village was amalgamated into Greater Berlin. From 1931 on Martin Niemöller, a leader of the Confessing Church, was pastor of the United Protestant Sankt-Annen-Kirche until he was arrested by the Nazis in 1937.
During the Cold War Dahlem belonged to the American Sector of West Berlin. From 1945 to 1991 the seat of the Allied Kommandatura of Berlin was in Dahlem on Kaiserswerther Straße. Today it serves as the office for the president of the local university; until 1994, the headquarters of the United States Army Berlin command and the Berlin Brigade were located on Clayallee street. Parts of the building are still used by the Embassy of the United States in Berlin; the former library and Outpost theater across the street today house the Allied Museum. Because many of Berlin's artistic and educational institutions were located in the city's historical center in the former eastern part of Berlin, West Berlin authorities established many duplicates in Dahlem - above all the Freie Universität Berlin in 1948, established by students and scholars as an antipole to the communist "Universität Unter den Linden"; the newly founded university should uphold the traditional values of academic freedom and the educational ideal proposed by Wilhelm von Humboldt.
Rudi Dutschke, spokesman of the German student movement in the 1960s, is buried at the cemetery of the Sankt-Annen-Kirche.

Judith Helen Dobrzynski is an American journalist and instructor in journalism. She is a freelance writer who has contributed articles on culture, the arts, business and other topics to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and several magazines, she writes opinion columns and commentaries, has contributed op-eds to the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune and the Boston Globe. In March, 2009, she became a blogger, she has been editor of the Sunday "Money & Business" section of the New York Times as well as a reporter for the newspaper, a senior editor of Business Week and, most the executive editor and managing editor of CNBC, the cable television business network. Dobrzynski, in the 1980s, while she was at Business Week, was one of the first journalists to write about activist shareholders and the importance of good corporate governance. While Dobrzynski was an arts reporter at the New York Times, she wrote an investigative article about the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition of paintings owned by Rudolph Leopold, a Viennese doctor and art collector..
Her article told the story of Portrait of Wally by Egon Schiele, taken from its Jewish owner, Leah Bondi Jaray, in the Nazi era and purchased by Leopold. Soon after the story was published, the Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau started proceedings to help restore the piece to descendants of its owner. After years of legal wranglings, the ownership of the painting was decided in an out-of-court settlement in July, 2010: The Leopold Museum agreed to pay Bondi's heirs $19 million for the portrait and to permanently display, wherever the painting is on view, the correct accounting of its ownership "including Lea Bondi Jaray’s prior ownership of the Painting and its theft from her by a Nazi agent before she fled to London in 1939." A documentary about the case, called "Portrait of Wally," made its debut in spring 2012 at the Tribeca Film Festival to favorable reviews. The Forward said the "film that reviews the complex history of the painting." The outrage that followed Dobrzynski's articles helped persuade Austria to change its laws.
Austrian Culture Minister Elizabeth Gehrer mentioned the uproar about "Portrait of Wally" when she announced the policy change in March 1998, again when she sent a draft law on the restitution of art confiscated by the Nazis to Parliament in September 1998. Dobrzynski's articles about the Bondi case have been cited in many books and legal articles about Nazi-looted art, including "Holocaust Restitution: Perspectives on the Litigation and Its Legacy" and a paper given at a restitution seminar in 1998 by the Dutch lawyer Gert-Jan van den Bergh. E. Randol Schoenberg, who served as attorney in the famous case claiming five Gustav Klimt paintings for the heirs of Adele Bloch-Bauer cited Dobrzynski's 1997 article in his paper, delivered at the International Foundation for Art Research in July, 2006, saying that it changed the climate for Nazi-looted art claims; when Bettina Rothschild Looram died in 2012, the Daily Telegraph in London cited the Bondi case as a reason "Austria’s minister of culture had directed the country’s national museums to identify any items in their collections, stolen or extorted by the Nazis from the Jews."Dobrzynski has written many other articles about Nazi-looted art.
In May 2000, Dobrzynski began a series of articles in the New York Times about art fraud on eBay auctions, which lead to an investigative piece disclosing the widespread practice of shill bidding on eBay. That story prompted the Federal Bureau of Investigation to step in, resulted in the prosecution of several shill bidders. One, Kenneth Walton, wrote a book recounting his experience of the scandal, in which Dobrzynski is characterized as "the one I feared most."Dobrzynski was a Knight fellow at the Salzburg Global Seminar in 2002, has twice returned as a fellow for additional sessions. Dobrzynski grew up in Rochester, New York and received an honors degree in journalism from Syracuse University. Judith H. Dobrzynski's Blog Judith H. Dobrzynski's official website Judith H.

James Mason "Jim" Owen served as mayor of Branson, for 12 years. Jim Owen was an advertising manager for a Jefferson City newspaper before he came to the Ozarks in 1933 on a visit to Branson, he never left. Before he died in 1972, he had owned movie theater and an auto dealership, he was president of a bank and wrote a fishing column for the Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock, AR. In addition, he owned champion fox hounds and bird dogs, produced his own brand of dog food, owned a large dairy, but Jim Owen became known for his other business venture—he set up the largest and most successful Ozark float fishing operation of that day. His success sparked national attention. Jim Owen authored a book entitled: "Jim Owen's Hillbilly Humor" being the subject of articles in Look and The Saturday Evening Post where Jim shared his hilarious and heartwarming stories of life in the Ozarks, it began in the spring of 1935 with six boats, six guides, a big truck. Owen claimed he could provide 31 days of fishing in his area without covering the same water twice.
He didn't know all there was to know about the river, but he knew more about promotion and advertising than any other man in the hills. He brought in as his guests the editors who could give him the publicity he needed, they were given free trips with steaks and wine and all the comforts one could accomplish on an Ozark gravel bar. In no time, his float service was being plugged in the pages of Life, Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, plus dozens of large newspapers; the late Dan Saults and Townsend Godsey were writers. They left much insight concerning his float fishing business, they gave much of the credit for his success to his boat builder, Charlie Barnes, guides Albert Cornett, Raymond Winch, Little Horse Jennings, Tom Yocum, Deacon Hembree. It was Owen who became the most know publicist for floating and fishing the Ozarks; as Mayor of Branson for 12 years and disciple of the old scriptural admonition that “He who tooteth not his horn, the same shall not be tooted,” Owen regaled the media of the 1930s and 1940s with promotions about the beauty of the region and its outstanding fishing.
His Owen Boat Lines specialized in week floats from Galena on the lower James River down to Branson on the White River. Owen is credited with Branson's first theater, the "Owen Theatre" built in 1936, it has proved to be a harbinger of things to come. The venue on Commercial Street in Historic Downtown Branson was called the Owen "Hillbilly" Theatre, was built as a movie house to provide additional entertainment for the fishermen he took out for float trips on the White River and other tourists to the area.
