Walter, will you please give us a brief summary of your career1 GALE1SO1 I ,as a Labor Attach0 for a very short period. I started in Nor,ay and in Denmark. I covered both countries beginning in June 1345 and I left the BForeignC Service in September 1347. So it ,as a little over a year. ThatDs all. 3 $: 2efore that you had been a professor or a teacher1 GALE1SO1 Before the ,ar I ,as a professor at Hunter College in Ne, Eork.

After leaving the service, you began teaching directly at Cornell1 GALE1SO1 No. I taught for five years at Harvard, then I taught for 15 years at Berkeley, and since then I have been at Cornell. Although I am retired no,, for the last 10 years I have been teaching at a Cornell program in Ne, Eork City $: Could you go over the origin of your becoming a Labor Attach61 Please give specific reference to the consideration given to nominating you for the Soviet Union. The reason for this 8uestion is what happened later concerning the difficulties of getting somebody into the Soviet Union1 GALE1SO1 During the ,ar I ,orked for a ,hile in the Pentagon and then I moved over to the OSS and there I ,orked in the .ussian Division of the .esearch Section of the OSS, ,hich, as you kno,, ,as the predecessor of the CIA $: Did you .now Russian before1 GALE1SO1 Ees, I had learned .ussian as part of my graduate program at Columbia University. 9e ,ere required then to kno, t,o foreign languages, so I learned French and .ussian.

He suggested that I be designated as the Labor Attach0 to the Soviet Union. That appealed to me. The OSS had been sending some people over to 8osco,. There ,as a fello, named Tom 9hitney, for eFample, ,ho ,orked in our division in OSS. He ,ent over there and he stayed on. He married a .ussian ,oman and stayed on and became a pretty ,ell kno,n journalist on the Soviet Union. But the idea of going to .ussia ,as interesting since I kne, .ussian, so I said, HFine.H I ,as appointed the Labor Attach0 to the Soviet Union. This ,as sometime during the spring or middle of 1344, I guess. $: During the war, so we were still on relatively friendly terms with the Soviets1 GALE1SO1 9e ,ere still on friendly terms, right, ,ith BshipsC going through to 8urmansk and they ,ere accepting Americans there one ,ay or another.

I accumulated the stuff I needed. I had a tremendous list you had to take ,ith you. Toilet paper. The big thing ,as the stopper for the tub. All sorts of things like that. So I gathered it all together. There I sat ,aiting for a visa. And I sat there for around siF months. No visa. Nothing. Finally at the beginning of 1345, Harriman came back... He ,as the Ambassador then. He came to the United States and I ,ent to see him and I said, H 8r.

    PARODY FOR THE PUBLIC SPHERE: THE DAILY SHOW’S NARRATIVE ON DEMOCRACY INACTION by KRISTEN MARIE HEFLIN (Under the Direction of Dwight E. Brooks) ABSTRACT Parody is a narrative device that twists the conventions of an original work to create a new and typically subversive form of the original. Literary critics have studied parody in written works, but parody on television has not been closely examined. This study uses narrative analysis to look at how parody operates in the television show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Findings indicate that parody functioned to tell three major narrative themes in the show: 1) The television news media is not fulfilling its role in society. 2) The political institutions of the United States are not fulfilling their role their role in society. 3) Intolerant ideologies place harmful limits on society. This study discusses how parody works in The Daily Show to produce these particular meanings, as well as, what these recurring narratives say about the show’s opinion of our American democracy and our public sphere.

  • Walter Galenson
    Walter Galenson December 5, 1914 — December 30, 1999 Walter Galenson, the son of Russian immigrants, was born in New York City. He graduated from Columbia University in 1935 and joined his father’s accounting firm. But coming of age during the depression had given him a concern of the problems of workers and he returned to Columbia for a Doctorate in Economics, which he received in 1940. He then devoted his career to studying how workers fared in both rich and poor countries, advising governments and unions on how to improve labor conditions and teaching about the role of labor in economic development. After working as principal economist in the War Department and Office of Strategic Services during World War II and serving as American labor attaché in Norway and Denmark during 1945-46, he returned to academia. He taught at Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley before moving to Cornell in 1966 where he was appointed the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor in the Department of Economics and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. He spent the next 14 years on the faculty at Cornell and became a Professor Emeritus in 1980. During his career, Professor Galenson held a number of visiting positions, including the Pitt Professor of American History and Institutions at Cambridge University. He was a Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellow, served as president of the Association for Comparative Economic Studies and was an advisor to the International Labor Organization’s World Employment Program. Former Secretary of Labor and Harvard Professor John Dunlop, a longtime friend of Professor Galenson, described him as “a prolific scholar of industrial relations, labor movements in Scandinavia, and American labor unions and their federations.” His 28 published books included four volumes on American labor history, four on Scandinavian labor movements, three on labor in communist economies, six on comparative labor movements, and five on labor and economic growth in less developed countries.

  • Who Needs Norwegians?" Explaining the Oslo Back Channel: Norway’S Political Past in the Middle East
    Evaluation Report 9/2000 Hilde Henriksen Waage "Norwegians? Who needs Norwegians?" Explaining the Oslo Back Channel: Norway’s Political Past in the Middle East A report prepared by PRIO International Peace Research Institute, Oslo Institutt for fredsforskning Responsibility for the contents and presentation of findings and recommendations rests with the author. The views and opinions expressed in the report do not necessarily correspond with the views of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Preface In September 1998, I was commissioned by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to carry out a preliminary study looking into Norway’s role in the Middle East. According to the agreement with the Ministry, the study should focus on the years prior to 1993 and examine whether Norway’s political past in the Middle East – and, not least, the mediating and confidence-building efforts of Norwegians prior to the opening of the secret Oslo Back Channel – had had any influence on the process that followed. The study should also try to answer the question ‘Why Norway?’ – that is, what had made Norway, of all countries, suitable for such an extraordinary task? The work on the study started on 15 September 1998. The date of submission was stipulated as 15 April 2000. This was achieved. The following report is based on recently declassified and partly still classified documents (to which I was granted access) at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the verbatim records of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, records of government proceedings and the Norwegian Parliament, Labour Party Archives, documents from the US State Department and the Socialist International – to mention the most important.

Predicting Elections from Politicians' Faces Abstract Prior research found that people's assessments of relative competence predicted the outcome of Senate and Congressional races. We hypothesized that snap judgments of "facial competence" would provide useful forecasts of the popular vote in presidential primaries before the candidates become well known to the voters. We obtained facial competence ratings of 11 potential candidates for the Democratic Party nomination and of 13 for the Republican Party nomination for the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. To ensure that raters did not recognize the candidates, we relied heavily on young subjects from Australia and New Zealand. We obtained between 139 and 348 usable ratings per candidate between May and August 2007. The top-rated candidates were Clinton and Obama for the Democrats and McCain, Hunter, and Hagel for the Republicans; Giuliani was 9th and Thompson was 10th. At the time, the leading candidates in the Democratic polls were Clinton at 38% and Obama at 20%, while Giuliani was first among the Republicans at 28% followed by Thompson at 22%.

  • NATO-Guiden»
    Forkortelser og ordforklaringer til «NATO-guiden» Stopp NATO – mai 2020 Jaltakonferansen (også kalt Krimkonferansen) var et ukelangt møte fra 4. til 11. februar 1945 – tre måneder før den andre verdenskrig var over i Europa – mellom statslederne i USA (Franklin D. Roosevelt), Storbritannia (Winston Churchill) og Sovjetunionen (Josef Stalin). Møtet fant sted i Livadiapalasset, tsarfamiliens tidligere sommerresidens, nær byen Jalta på Krim. Temaet for møtet var de alliertes videre krigføring inne i selve Tyskland og kampen mot Japan. Størst interesse knyttet det seg imidlertid til de avtaler og planer de tre lederne laget for etterkrigstiden. Jaltaavtalen stadfestet at det okkuperte Tyskland skulle deles inn i fire okkupasjonssoner, som hver skulle styres av en av okkupasjonsmaktene; Sovjetunionen, USA, Storbritannia og Frankrike. Videre ble man enige om prinsippet og utgangspunktet for hvordan Tyskland skulle betale krigserstatninger. Det var også her Churchill og Stalin avtalte såkalte interessesfærer etter krigen. Marshallplanen, også kalt Marshallhjelpen, offisielt European Recovery Program (ERP),[1] var et amerikansk hjelpeprogram for Europa som følge av ødeleggelsene under andre verdenskrig. Planen ble vedtatt av Kongressen i USA i 1948. Den er oppkalt etter den amerikanske politikeren George C. Marshall, som var initiativtaker til planen. Marshallplanen medførte økonomisk hjelp i form av lån, økonomisk støtte, og forsyning av næringsmidler og andre varer, til 18 europeiske land og territorier. Samlet beløp hjelpen seg til 14 milliarder dollar. De politiske virkningene av Marshallplanen kan kanskje ha vært minst like viktig som de økonomiske og var viktig for å knytte Vest-Europa til USA. Marshallplanen ble sett på som et av de første elementene til europeisk-integrering fordi den blant annet fjernet tollbarrierer.
