Roosevelt Presidential Library author talk and book signing: Former investigative reporter for The Washington Post and Time magazine TED GUP to speak about his new book A SECRET GIFT: HOW ONE MAN’S KINDNESS – AND TROVE OF LETTERS – REVEALED THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION December 5, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. HYDE PARK, NY -- The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is pleased to present an author talk and book signing with former investigative reporter for The Washington Post and Time magazine TED GUP at the Henry A. Wallace Visitor and Education Center on Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. Prof. Gup will speak about his new book A SECRET GIFT: HOW ONE MAN’S KINDNESS – AND TROVE OF LETTERS – REVEALED THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION. Following the presentation, Prof. Gup will be available to sign copies of his book. This event is free and open to the public. During the Great Depression, Canton, Ohio (author Ted Gup’s hometown) suffered more than most. Unemployment was near fifty-percent, and people were not only losing their jobs and homes, but their spirit to go on. When things seemed their bleakest, a man who called himself B. Virdot took out an ad in the local newspaper the week of Christmas, 1933. He offered to send $10 (then a small fortune) to 75 families who wrote to him and described their plight.

Through Wednesday, workers on the show will be loading donated goods onto a tractor trailer that will be driven to Los Angeles and shipped to the Philippines, according to Rehya Young, assistant locations manager for the Netflix series produced by Media Rights Capital. "We'll be accepting donations until Wednesday, Nov. 20, which will give us time to pack the truck properly and get it to L.A. on time," said Young. The truck will be parked at the show's offices in Edgewood, MD. Those who think they might have something to donate can email Young: [email protected]. She will provide directions or make arrangements if the donor cannot transport the items. The "House of Cards" team is co-ordinating its relief efforts with Operation USA, which will be shipping the goods from Los Angeles to the Philippines. Those who want to make a financial donation through Operation USA can do so here. Several area businesses and unions that work with and on the series have already made contributions, according to Young.

Geoffrey Grec/C Ph.D. Professor of English Sarita Cannon, Ph.D. Associate Professor of English ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE AND REPRESENTATION IN THE WORKS OF ISHMAEL REED Jason Andrew JackI San Francisco, California 2018 This thesis demonstrates the ways in which Ishmael Reed proposes incisive countemarratives to the hegemonic master narratives that perpetuate degrading misportrayals of Afro American culture in the historical record and mainstream news and entertainment media of the United States. Many critics and readers have responded reductively to Reed’s work by hastily dismissing his proposals, thereby disallowing thoughtful critical engagement with Reed’s views as put forth in his fiction and non­ fiction writing. The study that follows asserts that Reed’s corpus deserves more thoughtful critical and public recognition than it has received thus far. To that end, I argue that a critical re-exploration of his fiction and non-fiction writing would yield profound contributions to the ongoing national dialogue on race relations in America.

    Woody Paige: Conservative John Fox Brings Broncos to Their Knees

    Woody Paige: Conservative John Fox brings Broncos to their knees Woody Paige The Denver Post January 12, 2013 The cold, hard fact is the Broncos lost everything Saturday. And they blew it. They lost the overtime coin toss. They lost a cinch victory with 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter by blowing coverage. They lost the game on an intercepted pass late in the fifth quarter. They lost the playoff game early in the sixth quarter on a 47-yard field goal. They lost their chance at a ninth AFC championship game. They lost the opportunity for the franchise to win a third Super Bowl. Peyton Manning lost the prospect of playing a Super Bowl in his hometown of New Orleans and winning a second NFL championship. The Broncos lost the lead four times. They lost two interceptions and a fumble, all Manning turnovers. They lost a dozen arguments with the officials. They lost a rare home playoff game. The Broncos lost everything from the regular season in one historic postseason game. In a frozen conundrum on a Dr. Zhivago kind of day, in the chilliest and longest playoff game in Denver history, Ravens 38, Broncos 35. Rather than Holliday, Hillman and the Hallelujah High Way, it was to Hades in a Handbasket. Everybody shares the blame, but coach John Fox should get more than his share for his conservative approach. After the Ravens shocked a bitterly cold crowd with a 70-yard balloon bomb from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones, with just over half a minute to go, to tie the game for the fifth time, at 35-35, the Broncos had the ball at their 20-yard line, had two timeouts and had the quarterback who had produced more winning drives in the fourth quarter than anybody else who ever played the game.

This article examines how the U.S.press fared in covering the intelligence community before and after those events. It also explores what the obstacles are that now face journalists and what the stakes are. At no time has covering the intelligence community been more demanding or more important.Ironically,the obstacles that face both reporters and intelligence officers are much the same. The article closes with some suggested strategies and approaches gleaned from the most successful intelligence reporting. Keywords: CIA; intelligence; press; 9/11 Historians would be hard-pressed to cite another era in U.S. intelligence as fraught with colossal errors as that which now afflicts the nation. The failure to imagine, much less thwart, the attacks of 9/11, together with the hysteria over weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq that have yet to materialize, pres- ents a bleak picture of American intelligence. Pearl Harbor and the Bay of Pigs come to mind and nothing else.The failure was not that of the intelligence com- munity alone.

I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance.

I ARTICLES I Democracy in Search of Utopia: The History, Law, and Politics of Relocating the National Capital Whit Cobb* The act of choosing a capital, a place of coming together as a society, may express not so much what a society has been or what it is but rather what it wishes to become. Such was surely the case with the selection in 1790 of "a district of territory, not exceeding ten miles square, to be located ... on the river Potomac, at some place between- the mouths of the Eastern Branch and Connogochegue ... [as] the permanent seat of the government of the United States."' The founding generation chose to build an entirely new city on rough farmland, making a utopian break with history and emphasizing the agrarian character of the new nation.2 *Assistant to the General Counsel, Department of the Army.
