Madam President: Progress, Problems, and Prospects for 2008 By Robert P. Watson1 Abstract Women have made great progress in electoral politics both in the United States and around the world, and at all levels of public office. However, although a number of women have led their countries in the modern era and a growing number of women are winning gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional races, the United States has yet to elect a female president, nor has anyone come close. This paper considers the prospects for electing a woman president in 2008 and the challenges facing Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice–potential frontrunners from both major parties–given the historical experiences of women who pursued the nation’s highest office.

  • The Denver Catholic Register
    The Denver Catholic Register VOL. LI WEDNESDAY, MAY 19,1976 NO. 41 15 CENTS PER COPY 28 PAGES For Human Life Amendment G rassroots C a m p a i g n O r g a n i z e d By James Fiedler A grassroots campaign for a human life amendment to the U.S. Con­ stitution is being organized in Colorado by pro-life leaders in the Archdiocese. The campaign will involve establishing Congressional District Ac­ tion Committees in each congressional district. Organizational plans and techniques for the ambitious effort were outlined March 12 at a meeting for area pro-life leaders by two represen­ tatives of the Washington, D.C.-based National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (NCHLA), supported by U.S. bishops. The NCHLA officials — William Cox, executive director, and Mary Helen Madden, associate director — explained that their organization lias started efforts to organize action committees for a human life amendment in all of the more than 400 Congressional districts in the country. Cox told the Denver meeting that although the need for an anti­ abortion amendment to the Constitution is clear, support for it in Congress has been decreasing. Congressmen, Cox contended, are finding it “easy and convenient” to avoid support for such an amendment. Even Congressional districts with a high percentage of Catholics continue to send Congressmen to Washington who do not support a human life amendment. The establishment of Congressional District Action Committees nationwide is necessary, Cox charged, because Congress is not organized to deal with principles and ideals. Congress, however, does react to and is influenced by well-organized, effective in­ terest and lobbying groups such as labor unions.

  • A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School
    reviews Carlotta Walls LaNier, with Lisa Frazier Page, A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School. Ballantine/One World, 2009. 284 pp. As a consequence of the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling in 1954, Little Rock, Arkansas’s Board of Education made plans to comply with the Supreme Court decision beginning in the 1957-58 school year. Although the plan called for gradual integration in only one school, African Americans hoped that school integration would be a step toward gaining full civil rights. The African American students who enrolled in Central High School hoped for increased educational opportunities. The audacity of those hopes helped sustain the nine students through a year of taunts, threats, harassment, violence, and retaliation for their pioneering efforts. As a sophomore, Carlotta Walls was the youngest of the nine black students to attend Central High in 1957. She was also one of only two students to return to Central High in her senior year and graduate from that institution. Carlotta then left Little Rock to pursue a college education and eventually a career in real estate. The desegregation experience was a seemingly closed chapter in her life. When the story resurfaced as a made-for-TV movie in 1980, Walls LaNier was living in Colorado with her husband and two children. She had not yet told the story to her children and had failed to mention it to even close friends. Like Walls LaNier, the other students who desegregated Central High in 1957 had all moved on from Little Rock, pursuing education, careers, and family life outside of Arkansas.
