  • A Generational Memoir (1941– 1960) by Howard R
    asjournal.org DOI 10.18422/54-05 Growing up in New York City: A Generational Memoir (1941– 1960) by Howard R. Wolf If historians tend to proceed from external data to hidden motivation of key players, the personal essayist typically moves from the intimate level to the plane of sociology, politics, and history. He becomes, therefore, a generational memoirist. In this autobiographical essay, Howard R. Wolf seeks to become a generational memoirist of New York City. Preface Michel de Montaigne asked himself famously in his Essays of 1580, “What do I know?” This apparently simple question opened the door to the history of personal and private writing: letters, memoirs, autobiographies, the personal essay, and literary journalism, to name a few of its manifestations. Montaigne’s question, like his near contemporary Shakespeare’s soliloquies, initiated a Humanist-Renaissance exploration of the interior life that led in time to the English Romantic Movement in the first part of the 19th century and, beyond it, to depth psychology and stream of consciousness (James Joyce and Virginia Woolf) at the turn of the 20th century. Montaigne is a good example of how world-changing and revolutionary language—even one sentence—can be when it inaugurates or summarizes an epoch of human consciousness. Descartes, Rousseau, Goethe (Poetry and Truth, 1811–1833), Freud, and Marx also come to mind. I have resolved in an enterprise which has no precedent, and which, once complete, will have no imitator. My purpose is to display to my kind a portrait in every way true to nature, and the man I shall portray will be myself.

  • Department of Defense Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2010
    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010 TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 2009 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 10:29 a.m., in room SD–192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Daniel K. Inouye (chairman) pre- siding. Present: Senators Inouye, Cochran, and Bond. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENT OF HON. RAYMOND MABUS, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE Chairman INOUYE. This morning the subcommittee meets to re- ceive testimony on the fiscal year 2010 budget request from the Secretary of the Navy, the Honorable Raymond Mabus; the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead; and the Com- mandant of the Marine Corps, General James Conway. I’d like to welcome each of you and extend special greetings to the Secretary. This is your first appearance before us. For fiscal year 2010, the President has requested $156.4 billion for the Navy and the Marine Corps, plus an additional $15.3 billion in supplemental wartime costs. Although the Secretary of Defense has proposed a number of terminations and delays in major weap- ons systems, relatively few of these decisions would have an imme- diate impact on the Navy or Marine Corps. In fact, the $9 billion in growth in the Navy budget is 50 percent greater than the growth in the Army and the Air Force combined. The budget supports many Department of Navy priorities, in- cluding truncating the DDG 1000 in favor of additional DDG 51 de- stroyers, continuing production and test of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), accelerating the production of Virginia class submarines next year, and completing the growth of the Marine Corps to 202,100 personnel.
