“Executive Orders” by Tom Clancy Sabine Weishaupt, 8B Book-report: “Executive Orders” by Tom Clancy About the Author: Thomas L. Clancy, the so called master of techno-military thrillers, was born on the 12th of April 1947 in Baltimore, Maryland / USA. He was educated at the Loyola College in Baltimore. Then he worked as an insurance broker. He is now living in his second marriage after his divorce in 1998. With his first wife he has four children. In college he dreamed of writing novels. In 1984 this dream came true and he got his first novel published, namely “The Hunt for Red October”, which was a great success. Other also well-known works followed, e.g. “Red Storm Rising” (1986), “Cardinal of the Kremlin” (1988), “Debt of Honor” (1994), “Executive Orders”(1996), “Rainbow Six” (1998) and “The Red Rabbit” (2002). Almost each of his books has been a number one best-seller. “Executive Orders” is part of the so called “Ryanverse collection” that means that in all of these books the main character is Jack Ryan or that the other characters have something to do with him. Clancy has also worked with other authors, e.g. with Steve Pieczenik to create the mini-series “OP-Centre” in 1994. All of his stories deal with military, warfare, intelligence, politics and terrorism. Tom Clancy also wrote non-fiction books about submarines, cavalry, the US Air Force and about the Marine and Airborne corps of the US Army. Four of his novels, namely “The Hunt for Red October”, “Patriot Games”, “Clear and present Danger” and “Sum of all Fears”, have been made into quite successful movies. Important characters: - Jack Ryan: President of the USA - John Clark: CIA agent - Domingo Chavez: CIA agent - Edward Kealty: former Vice-President - Badrayn: fundamentalist Contents: The story is a continuation of “Debt of Honour”, where Jack Ryan becomes President of the USA in the end. Jack Ryan is soon confronted with many problems: the former Vice-President Edward Kealty claims that Ryan has no right to be President, the Iran takes the extraordinary circumstances in America as a chance to get power, an Ebola virus is spread over the big cities in the USA, Ryan’s daughter is attacked and so on. In Africa a nun treats a young man bitten by a monkey, but he dies because of Ebola. A few days later the nun is also infected and is flown to Teheran. During the flight, some blood drops out of her and so the virus is spread. In several American cities, Badrayn’s men set down canisters during shows and other events and quickly move away before they spray the content into the air. Soon doctors realize that some people are infected with the Ebola virus and try to find out, how these people got infected. The Iraqi and Iranian TV announces the birth of a new country: the United Islamic Republic! Because of that fact, Russia is worried because there is a threat from the new UIR in the South and the threat of China, which is exercising, in the far East. So the heads of Russia ask Ryan for support and he confirms back-up. Chavez and Clark play an important role because they find out, what is really going on with the biological attack and who the creator of this is. To get the needed information they have to fly all over the world and have to pretend to be Russian journalists again (as in “Debt of Honour”). In the end, everything is good and Ryan holds a speech on TV and there is an interruption and one can see the house of a fundamentalist leader being blasted by a bomb. At last the Jack Ryan confirms that he will run for the Presidential Election. Interpretation: The novel “Executive Orders” is divided into 63 chapters. It is told in an auctorial way – the narrator knows everything and also characterizes the persons, which causes a rather neutral point of view for the reader. It is set in the year 1993 and mostly it is told in a chronological order. Many things happen parallel to each other, but one always knows what Clancy is talking about. The setting changes quite often, so the story takes place in America, France, Africa, Iran, Iraq and Russia. “Debt of Honour” ended with Clancy’s most shocking conclusion ever – a joint session of Congress destroyed, the President of the USA dead. Dazed and confused, the man, who only minutes before had been confirmed as the new Vice-President is now told that he is President. Now suddenly, an unexpected and heavy weight has fallen on Jack Ryan’s shoulders. He does not know how to run a government without a government or where to begin. “Executive Orders is Clancy's most extraordinary novel to date.” “Executive Orders” is the direct continuation of “Debt of Honour”. Jack Ryan is now President after a Japanese plane crashed into the Capitol and he is almost the only one left of the government. The whole world’s eyes are now on him and many countries see their opportunity because a weak President is a weak country. As usual there is not any real interpretation of the novel because its main purpose is to entertain people. So I can only repeat what I have written about the other novels because these things are the important ones for Clancy: One of the main topics in this novel is, as usual, that the good defeats the evil. Clancy describes this process in nearly every book. In “Executive Orders” there is not the conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States of America, but the conflict between the Near East and America and conflicts between countries of the Eastern world. So one can see: Ryan is President and the problems become bigger and more complex and difficult because in the other novels there were attacks and “real” wars described, things one is able to handle in a way or another. But here one has to think in a political and intelligent way and this makes everything a lot more difficult. Although for example “Rainbow Six” sounded quite unrealistic, one gets the impression that this time the described things are possible, especially in these days with a war maybe going on and one really has to be afraid of what is going to happen because a strike against a country with biological weapons is not very unlikely. “Executive Orders” is part of the so called “Ryanverse”, which is a term for the books centered around the character of Jack Ryan. In the meantime there are eleven “Ryanverse” books published, but the published order is not the story-line order, which can be a little bit confusing. All in all one is able to understand the context from former books because it is well explained. The Character Jack Ryan: Tom Clancy created a whole story of the life of Jack Ryan so the impression of reading true stories is increased because it seems so real. This could have happened to any other citizen in the USA and so it is no extraordinary thing. One can also see that in a way Clancy describes himself because Ryan is from Maryland (like Clancy) and he later works as a stock-broker (Clancy was insurance-broker). John Patrick Ryan, Ph.D., is the main protagonist of the following novels: “Hunt for Red October”, “Patriot Games”, “Cardinal of the Kremlin”, “Clear and Present Danger”, “Sum of All Fears”, “Debt of Honour”, “Without Remorse” and “Executive Orders”. He is the son of a police lieutenant and a graduate of Loyola High School, Towson, MD. Then he attended Boston College. After finishing the Basic Officers’ Course at Quantico, VA, he deployed to a line unit as a platoon commander. Soon after as a part of the Atlantic Fleet Marine Force (FMF), he was very badly injured in a helicopter crash on the island of Crete. The Navy surgeons at the Naval Medical Center did an incomplete job of fixing his back. This occasioned a lengthy recovery process and he nearly got addicted to narcotics as a result. After that he left the US Marine Corps, passing his stock-broker’s exam and taking a position with the Baltimore office of Merrill-Lynch. Jack did so well there that a senior of the firm, Joe Muller, came to Baltimore to have dinner with Jack, with the objective of inviting Jack to the NYC headquarters. Also present was Joe’s daughter, Caroline Muller, then a senior medical student at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine. Jack and Caroline (nickname Cathy) immediately fell in love. Along the way, while having dinner with his fiancée, Jack had his back blow up. Cathy took him directly to Hopkins, where the Professor of neurosurgery fixed his back. Having made all the money he wanted, Jack left the firm, enrolling at Georgetown University for his doctorate courses in history. Then he accepted a teaching position at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD. One day Father Tim Riley dropped Jack’s name on a CIA contact, which resulted in a brief consulting job at Langley, where he wrote a white paper called “Agents and Agencies”. That is how he became member of the CIA and the rest is history... Statement: I enjoyed the story of this novel. One fact I really liked is that it was not all about good against evil, but also domestic political stuff. The plot is very puzzled out and partly a little bit complicated and not quite understandable, but there was no need to because to my mind it is important to catch the story as a whole one.

I I. INTRODUCTION There are two distinct, albeit mutually reinforcing, stances within U.S. foreign policy on HIV/AIDS. The first of these stances favors strong international pharmaceutical patent protection, unencumbered by any restrictions, as the best alternative to ensuring availability of drugs to treat those infected with HIV/AIDS. 2 Unlike the first stance that is Assistant Professor, Albany Law School.

  • THE CASE of EBOLA by Tara Kirk Sell, MA a Dissertation
    HEALTH POLICY RESPONSES AND NEWS MEDIA COVERAGE OF AN EMERGING OUTBREAK: THE CASE OF EBOLA by Tara Kirk Sell, MA A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April 2016 © 2016 Tara Kirk Sell All Rights Reserved Dissertation Abstract The Ebola outbreak of 2014-2015 and the resulting media and policy responses provide an important case for studying dreaded communicable diseases and other public health emergencies that will test public health policy development and emergency communication. This research examined public health response policies to the Ebola outbreak as well as media messages about these policies and risks from Ebola. Federal guidance and state policies determining how to manage individuals within the U.S. who may have been exposed to Ebola were systematically identified and analyzed. In addition, the volume of news coverage and content of U.S.-focused news stories about Ebola was analyzed for risk-related messages that were judged to potentially increase or decrease perception of risk and policy-related messages about the Ebola response. Policies on quarantine, movement restrictions, exposure categories, and monitoring varied. A number of states enacted more aggressive policies than were called for in guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Examination of news coverage showed that the volume of stories about Ebola rapidly increased following diagnosis of the Ebola case in Dallas in September 2014. Furthermore, all policy-related messages studied showed significant increases in frequency after this date, with the exception of messages related to isolation, which showed a significant decrease.

  • The Work of Military Forces in the Context of the Crisis
    The work of military forces in the context of the COVID-19 crisis Nº2 | July 2020 The work of military forces in the context of COVID-19 crisis • On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 outbreak a pandemic. By then, the virus was already spreading worldwide and had turned into a global problem. It was precisely the close connection between countries in a globalized world that caused an impact on so many people, across all continents, in such a short time. Against this backdrop, as was already pointed out in the previous Newsletter, the armed forces were called upon to play a role in response to the crisis. The exponential spread of the disease has led to the implementation of risk management systems in various countries and, in many cases, the armed forces have been deployed due to their quick response and logistic support capabilities. This same situation has been evident in various regions of the world, where the armed forces have been involved in supporting systems, delivering food to people and patrolling areas, among other actions. In this context, it is worth reflecting on their role, particularly the capabilities required for them in order to deal with these types of scenarios and, above all, on the importance of coordination, both at national and international levels. The information below describes the scenarios observed in various parts of the world and depicts some contrasting cases, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chad, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mali, Mexico, Niger, Nigeria, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

  • The Body of the Terrorist in Contemporary Cinema / Robert Duggan and Páraic Finnerty
    Current Issue Contributors Past Issues Call for Papers Editorial Board Submissions Search Reconstruction 7.1 (2007) Return to Contents , The state , Sexuality , Gender , Terrorism » The Body of the Terrorist in Contemporary Cinema / Robert Duggan and Páraic Finnerty Abstract : This article will explore the presentation of the body of the terrorist in a range of British and American films with a particular emphasis on how these films combine political and romantic plotlines. As part of a broad consideration of how the terrorist is presented, this essay will concentrate in particular on Cal (1984), The Crying Game (1992), The Dancer Upstairs (2002) and The Quiet American (2002). Rather than fully engage with the more complex discourse of politics, often these films ask audiences to conceptualize the transgressive figure of the terrorist through the very familiar vocabulary of love and sexual desire. Some accounts of this process have tended to underestimate the significance of the body in relation to political contexts and this essay will seek to redress this imbalance. In all of the above films, the terrorist has a complex and uncanny identity; he or she is a dangerous, shape-shifting and seductive figure that first infiltrates and then attempts to undermine the culture he or she politically opposes. Building on recent work by film critics and queer theorists, this article analyses how each film engages in a reciprocal movement whereby the threatening body of the terrorist itself becomes subject to unforeseen threat or challenge in erotic and romantic scenarios. The threatening and threatened body of the terrorist is also a queer body for which personal, gender and sexual identity are fluid and performative.
