NATO Sec. Gen. Javier Solana saluted Clark and NATO's men and women in uniform. 9/24/99 Receives Defense Distinguished Service Medal at a Pentagon ceremony. Defense Secretary William Cohen said: “General Clark's leadership and personal demeanor created an atmosphere of cooperation within the North Atlantic Treaty organization Alliance that ensured accomplishment of the largest military and humanitarian operation in Europe since World War II. 5/2/00 CHANGE OF COMMAND; CLARK REPORTEDLY UNHAPPY: Clark is replaced as Commander in Chief of the European Command and NATO Supreme Allied Commander by former Joint Chiefs Vice Chairman Gen. Joseph Ralston at an official event in Stuttgart, Germany. The Washington Post reported that Clark was “stunned” by the move, which occurred two months early, and said it was one of the low points of his career. There were reports that Clark clashed with Cohen and other administration officials about the Kosovo war strategy. On September 23, 2003, Retired Gen. Hugh Shelton, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs referred to his early retirement as one of the reasons he would not vote for him for president. "I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart," he said. Clark responds in November 2003 saying that Shelton’s comments were a “smear” and that the problem was a “policy dispute” over Bosnia. 6/00 RETIRES: Clark retires from the military and joins the Washington office of the Stephens Group Inc., an Arkansas investment banking firm, on 7/5/00.

Bush, and goes even further and praises the current Bush administration. "If you look around the world, there's a lot of work to be done," he said. "And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office . Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice . people I know very well - our President George W. Bush. We need them there because we've got some tough challenges ahead in Europe." The RNC conveniently sent out transcripts and tapes of the fundraiser at Clark’s first debate in NYC (Clark responds 11/5/03). 7/2001 Clark’s first book, “Waging Modern War: Bosnia, Kosovo and the Future of Combat,” is published 3 WESLEY CLARK TIMELINE cont. 8/27/01 PRESSED INTO TV SERVICE: Clark becomes a military analyst for CNN. Interestingly, he was signed just two weeks before the 9/11 attacks. 10/5/01 DINES WITH CLINTON; QUESTIONED ABOUT ARK GOV RACE: Dined with the former president and others in Little Rock.

This is my story, and I'm sticking to it. ... I have not taken any money; I am not a member of a political party. I have no political consultants on the payroll. I am just a concerned citizen participating in the dialogue." 5/12/03 NH VISIT: Visits Manchester, N.H. and again says “I am not a candidate.” While in Manchester, he spoke to the Rotary Club, met with Segway inventor Dean Kamen and even took a swim in the YMCA pool. 5/31/03 NY VISIT: Spoke to the Democratic Rural Conference in Lake Placid, NY and criticized the current direction of the country.

    ADP Resolution - Calling For An End To The Senate Filibuster The Arizona Democratic Party Supports President Biden's Agenda We Call For An End To The Filibuster WHEREAS, The Arizona Democratic Party Platform indicates that the Arizona Democratic Party supports, among other things, the right to vote1, non-discrimination2, the Equal Rights Amendment3, worker rights4, immigration reform, living wages, bold action to address climate change, universal health care, and preventing gun violence5; and WHEREAS, Arizona’s Republican state legislators are pursuing an aggressive agenda of voter suppression legislation that, if successful, will require federal legislation like the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure that all eligible Arizona voters can exercise our right to vote without undue barriers; and WHEREAS, Republicans in Congress have indicated a near-universal commitment to obstructing the passage of any bills offered in support of the aforementioned policies by, at least in part, utilizing the non-constitutional Senate Filibuster to prevent any debates or votes on bills proposed by Democrats6, and there is no indication that any 10 Republican Senators are willing join with the 50 Democratic Senators to override the Senate filibuster on the aforementioned issues or President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda; and WHEREAS, By empowering an uncompromising minority of obstructionist Republicans to attempt to improve their political standing by loudly opposing broadly popular legislation to address the aforementioned policy issues rather than engaging the legislative process in a truly bipartisan manner, the Senate filibuster eliminates any political incentive that might encourage Republican Senators to support Democratic legislation designed to benefit all Americans7; and 1 “We[, the Arizona Democratic Party,] support the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits states from imposing voting policies, voting qualifications, or other discriminatory practices against United States citizens.

  • BC Fulton Hall of Fame
    Dear Fultonians, The Fultonian for Summer 2019 was mailed on July 12, 2019 and contained a completely unexpected honor for me as I learned that I had been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a representative of the Golden Age of Fulton Debate. It came at a perfect time for me to immediately show it to my brother Kevin, who had entered BC in 1967 and co-chaired the Fulton High School Debate Tournament in 1968. It also came at a perfect time in the history of Boston College, since the Boston College Magazine had just announced that the archive of issues from 100 years of The Heights has been made available on the internet. So I was able to browse my life at BC and recall my time as a Fultonian. I realize that your march through the decades made me one of the first honorees with an opportunity to thank you for the honor. Accordingly, I feel the obligation to recount my journey to this honor with the help of pictures and the thousands of words they merit. I was in the vortex of the Golden Age, because it didn’t begin with me and it didn’t end with me. My entrance to the Fulton certainly did not presage such an honor, based on my high school record as a member of the Behrens Debate Society of Canisius High School. I certainly couldn’t have been described as a “former all-state debater from Illinois” as Charlie Lawson, CBA ’70 was in 1967. The only debate tournament I won in high school occurred on Nov.

    JANUARY 2012 Remembering Longtime IOP Advisor Milt Gwirtzman New JFK Jr. Forum Microsite Alumni Q & A with Peter Buttigieg ’04 2012 Polling and Research Careers and Internships New Mayors Conference NEW HAMPSHIRE ROAD TRIP! With the 2012 Republican presidential primary race in high gear this fall, students packed buses to nearby New Hampshire to meet presidential candidates as the IOP conducted timely younger voter public opinion research in Iowa and the Granite State. Welcome to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University Trey Grayson, Director The 2012 election cycle is in high gear, and the past six months have been fast- paced at the Institute. As you will note in this newsletter, the IOP has been at the forefront of election and campaign-related programming, with events, conferences and younger voter research unavailable anywhere else. One of my biggest goals since beginning service as the Institute’s Director has been to improve how the IOP utilizes technology – in an effort to maximize efficiency internally and best distribute and share our content externally to audiences inter- ested in politics and public service. Toward this end, we are very pleased this month to unveil the new online home for John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum programming at www.jfkjrforum.org (see feature on next page). The new microsite not only has a state-of-the art design but also can broadcast Forum programming in a format allowing Forum events to be streamed live or viewed later on any computer or device, including iPads and iPhones. We are also hard at work building a new IOP-wide website – scheduled to be completed next fall – which improves our current website layout and better integrates key online content from Institute students and student publications like the Harvard Political Review.

Wong All rights reserved. Professor Michael Szonyi John D. Wong Global Positioning: Houqua and his China Trade Partners in the Nineteenth Century Abstract This study unearths the lost world of early-nineteenth-century Canton. Known today as Guangzhou, this Chinese city witnessed the economic dynamism of global commerce until the demise of the Canton System in 1842. Records of its commercial vitality and global interactions faded only because we have allowed our image of old Canton to be clouded by China’s weakness beginning in the mid-1800s. By reviving this story of economic vibrancy, I restore the historical contingency at the juncture at which global commercial equilibrium unraveled with the collapse of the Canton system, and reshape our understanding of China’s subsequent economic experience. I explore this story of the China trade that helped shape the modern world through the lens of a single prominent merchant house and its leading figure, Wu Bingjian, known to the West by his trading name of Houqua.

  • Joe Lieberman for President: Did We Miss an Opportunity? March 6, 2004
    Joe Lieberman for President: Did We Miss an Opportunity? March 6, 2004 Today may be Shabbat Zachor, but this past Tuesday was Super Tuesday. Like many of you, I proudly performed my patriotic duty and participated in the electoral process by casting a ballot in the Maryland primary. Only the vote I cast was meaningless. Not because a vote is ever wasted. If there is any one thing that we learned, and that was reinforced in November of 2000, it is that every vote counts. No, my ballot was meaningless, because I voted for a candidate for President who had already dropped out of the race. I will give you a hint – it wasn’t for Howard Dean. I will give you one more clue. Just the night before the election, I spoke with my Aunt Helen, who lives in Baltimore. She told me that a black man said to her, “I’m going to vote for Sharpton. You should vote for Lieberman.” I do not believe that we should vote for, or for that matter, against people on the basis of common ethnic background or religious heritage. Just remember how upset many of us were by the seemingly blind unthinking support Jesse Jackson received in the black community when he ran for President. A vote should be based on shared values, on how you feel an individual will lead and represent you, and on the candidates’ qualifications. Yet despite all this, I nevertheless, wanted to vote with my heart and not my mind. I wanted to cast a vote for the first truly serious Jewish candidate for President of the United States, even though he was no longer running.
