    A Conversation with Mark Salter, Author of “The Luckiest Man: Life with John McCain” Join Michael Zeldin in his conversation with Mark Salter, Author of The Luckiest Man: Life with John McCain. Salter collaborated with John McCain on all seven of their books, including The Restless Wave, Faith of My Fathers, Worth the Fighting For, Why Courage Matters, Character Is Destiny, Hard Call, and Thirteen Soldiers. He served on Senator McCain’s staff for eighteen years. Guest Mark Salter Author of “The Luckiest Man: Life with John McCain” Mark Salter is an American speechwriter from Davenport, Iowa, known for his collaborations with United States Senator John McCain on several nonfiction books as well as on political speeches. Salter also served as McCain’s chief of staff for a while, although he had left that position by 2008. About the Book More so than almost anyone outside of McCain’s immediate family, Mark Salter had unparalleled access to and served to influence the Senator’s thoughts and actions, cowriting seven books with him and acting as a valued confidant. Now, in The Luckiest Man, Salter draws on the storied facets of McCain’s early biography as well as the later-in-life political philosophy for which the nation knew and loved him, delivering an intimate and comprehensive account of McCain’s life and philosophy. Salter covers all the major events of McCain’s life—his peripatetic childhood, his naval service—but introduces, too, aspects of the man that the public rarely saw and hardly knew. Woven throughout this narrative is also the story of Salter and McCain’s close relationship, including how they met, and why their friendship stood the test of time in a political world known for its fickle personalities and frail bonds.

    Education Aci Title I; ESEA Title I ABSTRACT This manual contains selected materials and ideas generated during the multicultural program implementationat Fremont Elementary School in 1974-75 which vas funded under ESEATitle I. The program included:(1) the consecutive concentrated study of five individual cultures and (2) a comparative multicultural approach built around five basic themes. While it isbelieved that it is essential to develop positive self-concept and intergrouprelations, multicultural awareness is seen as necessary to understand the different human experiences of people who come from different cultures and ethnic groups. In the school, multicultural awareness vas attained through implementationof the following areas: cultural curricula, multicultural curricula; curriculum based onclassroom cultural and ethnic population; integration of multicultural awareness into basic subject areas ofmath, reading, language; and chronological recognition of events and holidays across cultural lines. This project was developed for elementary grades as aformal approach to begin or enrich multicultural studies.Although much of the content is deemed to be appropriate forkindergarten to sixth grade, special emphasis is given to grades four throughsix.

  • Status Seekers
    STATUS SEEKERS: LONG-ESTABLISHED WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS AND THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, 1945-1970S DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caryn E. Neumann, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Susan M. Hartmann, Adviser Professor Donna Guy Professor Warren Van Tine ______________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT This dissertation is an examination of four long-established American women’s organizations that were active in the decades immediately following World War II. It is part of growing body of work that places the roots of second wave feminism in the decades prior to the 1960s. The focus of this dissertation is the non-college student, non- radical women who addressed the main social movements of the postwar era by promoting civil rights and feminism. These organized women were targeted by conservative critics who employed the anti-communist hysteria of the Cold War in a largely unsuccessful attempt to stifle liberal activism. Each organization focused on a agenda that gradually expanded to include civil rights and feminism. They are feminist precursors. Each group in this study formed prior to World War II to address one of the major aspects of American life: work, education, family, and religion. The American Nurses Association (ANA) saw itself as chiefly a labor organization. Because the vast majority of nurses were of women, the ANA discovered that it could not promote better nursing and improved working conditions without elevating the status of women workers and without addressing the issue of racism within health care.
