Her footsteps are theirs to follow. January 1, 2001, to be exact, was the last time the Huskies went to Pasa- dena for the big game. I remember walking off the Rose Bowl turf that evening, thinking this was the greatest thing ever. I had no idea it would be years before Husky purple would be back. I remember when it was routine to think about spending the holidays in Pasadena. It was on our autumn to-do list, like mowing the lawn or buying school supplies for the kids. And even when the Huskies didn’t make it to the Rose Bowl, we knew it was just a matter of time before we would be heading to LA, applying sunscreen to our faces, next to the purple W painted on our right cheek—and swelling with pride over being part of something so exciting. Things haven’t been the same since that 34-24 victory over Purdue (and future NFL star Drew Brees). But a lot of Husky fans feel something new is in the air, something we haven’t really felt in a long time: hope.

Proponents of the recent past argue that by restricting evaluation of historic architecture to only that which is 50-years or older is leading to widespread endangerment and demolition of buildings and sites with periods of significance from the postwar era. This report studies the use of criterion G in-depth since the inception of the National Register program and attempts to identify and quantify the resources lost through continued adherence to the 50-year rule. The analysis is done in two parts.

All rights reserved. No portion of this book may be reproduced or used in any form, or by any means, without prior written permission of the author. 10987654321 Printed and bound in the United States i Acknowledgments A lot of people offered encouragement and moral support on this project. I cannot name them all, but a few are worthy of mention. Nancy Zussy, Ellen Levesque, Gayle Palmer, and Shirley Lewis at the Washington State Library were extremely helpful. Sid Snyder and Ralph Munro have each been treasured friends for more than 30 years. They probably know more about the history of this legislature than any other two people. I am honored and flattered that they would write brief forwards. There are many who have offered encouragement as I spent day after day seated at the microfilm machine in the Washington Room at the library. It is a laborious task; not easy on the eyes. They include my sons, Bruce and Tom, Scott Gaspard, Representative Shirley Hankins, Shelby Scates, Mike Layton, the late Gerald Sorte, Senator Bob Bailey, Sena- tor Ray Moore and his wife Virginia, Rowland Thompson, and numerous others who I know I’ve forgotten to mention. My special gratitude goes to Deanna Haigh who deciphered my handwriting and typed the manuscript.

  • “The Sorrows of Egypt,” Revisited in Knowledge He Sought Years Idol Masses
    A HOOVER INSTITUTION ESSAY on A us strateGIC vision in A CHANGING WORLD “The Sorrows of Egypt,” Revisited SAMUEL TADROS The sorrow of Egypt is made of entirely different material: the steady decline of its public life, the inability of an autocratic regime and of the middle class from which this regime issues to rid the country of its dependence on foreign handouts, to transmit to the vast underclass the skills needed for the economic competition of nations; to take the country beyond its endless alternations between glory and self-pity. (Fouad Ajami, “The Sorrows of Egypt”) In his authoritative 1995 essay “The Sorrows of Egypt,”1 Fouad Ajami, with the knowledge and experience of someone who had known Egypt intimately, and the spirit and pen of a poet who had come to love the place, attempted to delve deeply into what ailed the ancient land. The essay moved masterfully from the political to the social and Islamism and the International Order International the and Islamism from the religious to the economic, weaving an exquisite tapestry of a land of sorrows. This was not the first time that Ajami had approached Egypt. The country his generation had grown up knowing was the Egypt of promise and excitement, where Gamal Abdel Nasser’s towering presence and deep voice had captivated millions of Arabic speakers. Ajami had been one of those young men. He had made the pilgrimage to Damascus, watching and cheering as Nasser made his triumphant entry into the city in 1958, crowned as the idol of the Arabs by adoring masses.

But there are often long waits to see doctors or have surgery. Also, an agricultural town where workers who climbed the economic ladder out of the fields are suddenly finding themselves without jobs. And, a conversation on the Middle East with noted scholar Fouad Ajami. TEASE: DAN RATHER (VOICE OVER) TONIGHT. FREE DOCTORS. FREE HOSPITALS. ALL JUST ACROSS THE BORDER.

In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

FOREWORD BOB GOLDSWORTHY Bob Goldsworthy and I were both elected to the Legislature for the first time in 1956. We were among the first members of what would become, in a few years, a whole new generation of Republican legislators and officeholders. Bob was always a friend to everyone. With his long experience in farming and in the Air Force, he wielded substantial influence in agricultural and military affairs. He was most influential, however, when he became chairman of the House Appropriations Committee in 1967. By then, I was governor and I depended on Bob’s leadership to produce a good budget; one that would adequately finance education, better transportation facilities, and the preservation of the environment.

  • AAR Magazine Spring Summer 2021`
    AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME MAGAZINE SPRING/ SUMMER 2021 A Message from the Chair of the Board of Trustees It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since the world paused. Thank you for your continued com- mitment to AAR in what I’m sure we will remember as one of society’s most challenging moments. Your time, expertise, guidance, and financial support have all been instrumental in seeing the Academy through this period. I’d also like to thank Mark Robbins and the whole team, especially those on the ground in Rome, for their incredible dedication to navigating the ups, downs, and surprises this past year has brought. Turning to today, the Academy has successfully reopened and the selection process for next year’s fellowship class is complete. AAR is in a much stronger position than I could have imagined when the full pandemic crisis became clear in March 2020. Our finances are stable and (with vaccinations) we believe that by the fall our activities will be close to fully restored. One of the many downsides of this past year has been the lack of direct connection, and we look for- ward to future gatherings in person, here and in Rome. With appreciation and gratitude, Cary Davis Chair, AAR Board of Trustees SPRING/SUMMER 2021 UP FRONT FEATURES 2 20 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT SEEING THE ANCIENT WORLD AAR receives major gift of photographs 4 by Carole Raddato FAR AFIELD Checking in with past Fellows and Residents 24 GIVING FOR THE AGES 6 Richard E.
