History of Hofstra n 1912 William Hofstra had booked passage on the Titanic for his return voyage from Europe. However, a business proposition in Canada forced him to change his plans. Instead he took a ship to Halifax, and the events of his personal history took their rightful course. Information reported in the newspapers of the times allowsI us to look back at the history of the Hofstras and view their lives in a more personal and intimate light. The Hofstras enjoyed a lifestyle filled with social engagements, travel and business ventures. The society pages and gossip columns of the local papers such as the Hempstead Sentinel as well as papers such as The New York Times reported on these events on a continuous basis. From 1894 through the 1930s, both Mr. and Mrs. Hofstra appeared in print for participation in charity events, departures for vacations, hosting wedding receptions at their estate, and attendance at various recreational activities. The earliest report of the Hofstras abroad is 1894, when William and Kate Hofstra departed for Liverpool on the ship Majestic. In 1902 a New York Times reporter in Paris reported that “American visitors in Paris are preparing to return in September,” and included the Hofstras among those who had been to Carlsbad, and were headed for the Hotel Ritz.

This Kentucky Derby, whatever it is — a race, an emotion, a turbulence, an explosion–is one of the most beautiful and violent and satisfying things I have ever experienced. And, I suspect that, as with other wonders, the people one by one have taken from it exactly as much good or evil as they brought to it… I am glad I have seen and felt it at last.” ‐John Steinbeck (1956) Copyright © 2012 Tim Rice All Rights Reserved 1 I think you will soon agree with me that there is a great deal more annoyance and vexation in race horses than real pleasure.” - August Belmont writing to his son August Belmont, Jr. Rare was the voting-age American ignorant of that colossus, Secretariat, and his supra- equine achievement in the third leg of the 1973 Triple Crown. That thirty-one length score, in still world record time for a mile and a half, completed the colt’s sweep of the three-year-old classic fixtures.

And, no small task that because 1973 was not without many headline grabbers including the Watergate Hearings and the departure of the last U.S. soldier from Viet Nam.

Although Congress had legislated extensively in this area, the President effected this change by entering into a “nonbinding political agreement” with Iran and by aggregating individual waiver provisions in the sanctions laws into an across-the-board waiver of sanctions.

  • August Belmont and the Atlantic Trade in Cotton 1837‒1865
    ‘A mystery to the future historian…’? August Belmont and the Atlantic Trade in Cotton 1837‒1865 Kathryn Boodry explores how the House of Rothschild and the financier August Belmont spearheaded a new phase of enterprise in America. In a letter to the London house in 1863 August Belmont commented acerbically: ‘It will always remain a mystery to the future historian to explain the sympathy which a large portion of civilized Europe gave in the nineteenth century to a rebellion the principal aspect of which was the extension & perpetuation of the odious system of slavery.’¹ Belmont’s disingenuous claim belies the fact that he, like most agents of Anglo-American financial houses, was well aware that the American Civil War, at least in part, was about the revenue generated from agricultural goods produced in the south. Tobacco, sugar, cotton and rice, all commodities produced in the southern United States with slave labour, were vital exports for the emergent nation. After 1815, the United States was the largest producer, and Great Britain the largest consumer of American cotton.² The economic undercurrents that influenced political allegiances during the Civil War were well understood in the nineteenth century, particularly by merchants and bankers, as was noted in Punch: Tho’ with the North we sympathize, It must not be forgotten That with the South we’ve stronger ties Which are composed of Cotton.³ In the nineteenth century cotton literally wove together an Atlantic world of factors, agents, merchants, financiers, slaves, stevedores and spinners. It was a vital source of revenue for northern coffers and no doubt coloured perceptions of the need to ‘preserve the union.’ Trade in cotton also fostered the development of sophisticated financial relationships between the southern United States, New York and London.

  • Abraham Lincoln Papers
    Abraham Lincoln papers From August Belmont to Thurlow Weed, July 20, 1862 Copy New-port. R. I. July 20. 1862. My dear Mr. Weed. I have made several attempts to see you during your fleeting visits to New-York, but have not been so fortunate as to find you in.—. Our National affairs are in a most critical position, more so than they have been at any time since the beginning of this unfortunate war.—. What frightens me more than the disasters in the field is the apathy and distrust which I grieve to say I meet at every step even from men of standing and hitherto of undoubted loyalty to the Union— You know my own feelings & convictions on the subject of our national troubles, & I am sure I can speak to you in all candor without the fear of having my thoughts mis-construed, though you may perhaps not share my views.— My firm conviction is that any other solution to our present difficulties than a reconstruction of but one Government over all the states of our Confederacy would entail upon us & our children an inheritance of the most fearful consequences which must end in the utter disintegration & ruin of the whole country.—. There are only two modes by which to prevent such a calamity, which is certainly at this moment more threatening than it has ever been before.—. The one is by an energetic & unrelenting prosecution of the war to crush the rebellion, the other would be to negociate with the leaders of the Rebellion, (to which it would be madness to withold the character of a gigantic revolution) and to see whether it may not yet be possible to reestablish a federal Union— Both alternatives present difficulties of the gravest nature & which they did not possess in the same degree at the beginning of the contest— Abraham Lincoln papers http://www.loc.gov/resource/mal.4232600 Our army has been decimated by disease & the casualities of war.

  • Reconstruction: the Civil War Battle Yet to Be
    Click here for Full Issue of EIR Volume 19, Number 48, December 4, 1992 �ITillFeature Reconstruction: the Civil Warbattle I yet to be won by Fredric W. Henderson Around the world today, there is a crying need for a �rogram of economic recon­ struction. The newly created nations in Europe, like those of the former Yugosla­ via; the continents of Africa, Asia, and Ibero-Americ* which have been devastated by the genocidal economic policies of the International Monetary Fund; and the former Soviet Union, which is now facing uncontrollable chaos, must not merely I survive, but must be able to develop and contribute tt> the betterment of their own peoples and of humanity in general. The issues posed today are the same as those tqat faced President Abraham Lincoln and the congressmen and senators who camt to be known as the "radical Republicans" at the outset of Lincoln's second term. (\lthough Lincoln was assas­ sinated in April 1865, before he could fully elaborate and carry out a program of economic reconstruction for the South, the radical Republicans were spurred to continue the fight. They were led by the great ninetee$th-century economist Henry C. Carey, who conceived of the fightto rebuild America's South as part of a global war against the imperial policies of Great Britain then being brutally implemented in India and which had dominated the cotton-based economy of the U. S. South. Carey's principal ally in the U.S. Congress was the upfiappable, uncompromising congressman from Pennsylvania, Thaddeus Steveris, who led his allies in the Republican Party in defining the nature of the work to be completed in the South.

  • The Lincoln-Douglas Debates (1858) in 1860, the Radical
    Chapter Thirteen “A David Greater than the Democratic Goliath”: The Lincoln-Douglas Debates (1858) In 1860, the radical abolitionist Parker Pillsbury, who called Lincoln “the Kentucky clodhopper,” scoffed at his antislavery record, saying there was “no essential difference” between him and Stephen A. Douglas.1 In fact, the two Illinois rivals disagreed fundamentally about slavery, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the role of the U.S. Supreme Court, racial equality, and American history.2 Their battle served as a dress rehearsal for the presidential race two years later, when once again they clashed, with a different outcome. Herndon predicted that “the Race in Ills for 1858 & 9 -- for the Senatorial seat . will be hot – energetic – deadly; it will be broader – wider, and deeper in principle than the race in 1856.”3 But it would also be marred by Douglas’s brazen appeals to racial 1 Pillsbury to Wendell Phillips, New York, 17 March 1864, Phillips Papers, Harvard University; Pillsbury, speech at Framingham, Massachusetts, 4 July 1860, The Liberator (Boston), 20 July 1860.
