RESEARCH INTO RIGHT-WING ARCHIVES I Am Copying Below the Newest Revision to My Right-Wing Archives Webpage. Unfortunately, I Wi ARCHIVES AND PRIVATE PAPERS PERTAINING TO CONSERVATIVE AND EXTREME RIGHT MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES rev. 06/01/18 RESEARCH INTO RIGHT-WING ARCHIVES I am copying below the newest revision to my Right-Wing Archives webpage. https://sites.google.com/site/ernie124102/archives Unfortunately, I will not be able to annotate all of these links as I originally planned to do---because the volume of text required exceeds the space limitations which Google Sites allows for webpages. However, here is what I have attempted to accomplish. 1. When I first created my Archives webpage six years ago, it was intended to be a quick-reference to some of the (potentially) most productive locations for research into right-wing history -- and, particularly, with respect to extreme right individuals and organizations. 2. I have now expanded my original listings to include a lot more material -- and (as you will notice) I have added some entirely new categories (such as links to YouTube videos). 3. You will notice duplicate links for some records archived at the same location. I did this because there are sometimes archive listings created by two different sources that provide different information. For example: one listing might be just a basic generic description without any details whereas the second listing might include a link to a pdf file which is a detailed finding aid OR the second link might just provide additional descriptive information. 4. My listings now include all of the following categories: 4.1 = Personal Papers of conservative or extreme right individuals who acquired a significant amount of right-wing publications and/or who corresponded with many prominent conservative or extreme right persons and organizations 4.2 = Conservative Organizations or Publications or TV/radio programs that donated their records to some institution 4.3 = Research Files by scholars and organizations and authors who studied and wrote about the conservative and extreme right movements in our country. 4.4 = Videos of speeches made by right-wing personalities OR listings of radio/TV interview programs hosted by right-wing personalities (such as Joe Pyne or William F. Buckley Jr.) 4.5 = Personal Papers of politicians and public figures who have been subjected to attacks by the right- wing 4.6 = Links to databases or other archival references pertaining to conservative/extreme right history. IF you have any suggestions for additions -- please let me know. Thanks! Ernie = [email protected] ACLU Records on Right Wing Groups-Princeton Univ.

  • I Was Happy and Flattered to Be Invited to Deliver This Lecture Because Like So Many Others Who Knew Michael Quinlan I Was an Impassioned Admirer
    I was happy and flattered to be invited to deliver this lecture because like so many others who knew Michael Quinlan I was an impassioned admirer. Yet I cannot this evening avoid being a little daunted by the memory of an occasion twenty years ago, when we both attended a talk given by a general newly returned from the Balkans. Michael said to me afterwards: ‘Such a pity, isn’t it, when a soldier who has done really quite well on a battlefield simply lacks the intellectual firepower to explain coherently afterwards what he has been doing’. Few of us, alas, possess the ‘intellectual firepower’ to meet Michael’s supremely and superbly exacting standard. I am a hybrid, a journalist who has written much about war as a reporter and commentator; and also a historian. I am not a specialist in intelligence, either historic or contemporary. By the nature of my work, however, I am a student of the intelligence community’s impact upon the wars both of the 20th century and of our own times. I have recently researched and published a book about the role of intelligence in World War II, which confirmed my impression that while the trade employs some clever people, it also attracts some notably weird ones, though maybe they would say the same about historians. Among my favourite 1939-45 vignettes, there was a Japanese spy chief whose exploits caused him to be dubbed by his own men Lawrence of Manchuria. Meanwhile a German agent in Stockholm warned Berlin in September 1944 that the allies were about to stage a mass parachute drop to seize a Rhine bridge- the Arnhem operation.

  • Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980
    Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980 Robert L. Richardson, Jr. A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by, Michael H. Hunt, Chair Richard Kohn Timothy McKeown Nancy Mitchell Roger Lotchin Abstract Robert L. Richardson, Jr. Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1985 (Under the direction of Michael H. Hunt) This dissertation examines the origins and evolution of neoconservatism as a philosophical and political movement in America from 1945 to 1980. I maintain that as the exigencies and anxieties of the Cold War fostered new intellectual and professional connections between academia, government and business, three disparate intellectual currents were brought into contact: the German philosophical tradition of anti-modernism, the strategic-analytical tradition associated with the RAND Corporation, and the early Cold War anti-Communist tradition identified with figures such as Reinhold Niebuhr. Driven by similar aims and concerns, these three intellectual currents eventually coalesced into neoconservatism. As a political movement, neoconservatism sought, from the 1950s on, to re-orient American policy away from containment and coexistence and toward confrontation and rollback through activism in academia, bureaucratic and electoral politics. Although the neoconservatives were only partially successful in promoting their transformative project, their accomplishments are historically significant. More specifically, they managed to interject their views and ideas into American political and strategic thought, discredit détente and arms control, and shift U.S. foreign policy toward a more confrontational stance vis-à-vis the Soviet Union.

  • Civic and Political Status
    Civic and Political Status CIVIL LIBERTIES HE PERIOD between July 1954 and the autumn of 1955 saw a marked im- Tprovement in the general attitude on civil liberties questions in the United States. Many factors contributed to this. A decreased fear of immi- nent war was accompanied by a calmer approach to internal policies. The absence of any evidence of new Communist penetration, either in govern- ment or in other fields, led to a widespread feeling that the danger from con- spiratorial Communist activity had declined. On the other hand, the pub- licity received by a number of cases in which security procedures had been patently misused led to an increased realization of the dangers arising from measures which departed from the spirit of the Bill of Rights. And there could be little doubt that the clash between Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and the Army, followed by the report of the Senate Select Committee to Study Censure Charges (Watkins Committee) and the Senate censure vote (AMER- ICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1955 [Vol. 56], p. 184-85), tended to bring the ap- proach generally described as "McCarthyism" into disrepute. Security Program The change was least noticeable in the legislative field, where it took the form of a decrease in new restrictive legislation rather than in the disap- perance of any already on the books. There was, however, a marked altera- tion in both the interests and the behavior of legislative investigating com- mittees. In the executive department, security procedures changed little, and injustices still appeared to be frequent. But when—as increasingly hap- pened—they were brought to public attention, there was a new readiness and even eagerness to remedy them.

This dissertation addresses the story of Physical Culture magazine from three different perspectives, reading the magazine through lenses of media history, medical history and social context, in order to understand the ways in which class operated on and through the body. In contrast to nearly every other publication in the early twentieth century, Physical Culture suggested that class mobility was possible, and that success would naturally follow improvement of body and health.
