  • Federal Cases Involving Unauthorized Disclosures to the News Media, 1844 to the Present
    Federal Cases Involving Unauthorized Disclosures to the News Media, 1844 to the Present Introduction and Methodology This chart attempts to comprehensively survey every federal case involving an effort by law enforcement, an executive branch agency, the courts, or Congress to formally investigate or prosecute someone for, or compel the disclosure of information about, the unauthorized disclosure of government information to the news media. In short, it is our attempt at an exhaustive list of “leak” cases. Please note that, in addition to the cases one would usually think of as “leaks” matters—that is, cases arising out of the disclosure of national defense information, such as those involving Daniel Ellsberg, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden—we include cases where courts have ordered an investigation into grand jury leaks (e.g., BALCO, Taricani, and Walters), where Congress has formally investigated a leak (e.g., Nugent, Schorr, and Phelps/Totenberg), where the leak involved non-national security information (e.g., Agnew and Lacker), where the surveillance or targeting of reporters was conducted as part of domestic espionage activity (e.g., Project Mockingbird), and where a Privacy Act plaintiff who has had information leaked to the press about a pending investigation seeks a subpoena to uncover the source (e.g., Lee and Hatfill). This chart excludes cases involving purely internal unauthorized disclosure inquiries within the government (such as the Raj Rajaratnam inquiry at the SEC1), unless they involve the formal investigation of members of the news media. Please also note that one legal term of art that we refer to throughout—“national defense information”—is abbreviated “NDI.”* This chart was authored during the summer of 2018 by Gabe Rottman, director of the Technology and Press Freedom Project at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, and Victoria Noble, the 2018 Google Policy Fellow at the Reporters Committee and a student in the class of 2020 at Stanford Law School.

Contact: [email protected] AHIF P O L I C Y J O U R N A L Volume 8: Spring 2017 From Plato to NATO 2,500 Years of Democracy and The End of History1 Despina Lalaki The ideas of ancient Greece helped inspire America’s Founding Fathers as they reached for democracy. Our revolutionary ideas helped inspire Greeks as they sought their freedom, and Americans came here to help fight for Greek independence. At the dawn of the Cold War, when President Truman committed the United States to the defense of Greece, he said, ‘I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their their destinies in their own way.” President Obama, Athens Greece, November 15, 2016 n the occasion of his recent visit to Greece, President Barack Obama’s remarks – O protracted echoes of familiar pronouncements about the end of history and ideological evolution, endorsements of laissez-faire economics and the individual freedom that our Western democracies purportedly serve – not unexpectedly were uttered against a background of Doric columns and numerous invocations to the ancients.2 Appropriately if rather predictably, President Obama drew from history and stressed the strong connections between his country and his host, emphasizing the political culture shared between Greece and the United States.

  • Diva Rivalry for Fun and Profit: an Examination of Diva [Mis-] Conceptions Via the Rivalry of Maria Callas and Renata Tebaldi
    DIVA RIVALRY FOR FUN AND PROFIT: AN EXAMINATION OF DIVA [MIS-]CONCEPTIONS VIA THE RIVALRY OF MARIA CALLAS AND RENATA TEBALDI A thesis submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory at the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Sarah Pozderac-Chenevey B.A., Mercyhurst College, 2009 Committee Chair: Jeongwon Joe, PhD ABSTRACT The [in]famous rivalry between Renata Tebaldi and Maria Callas is part of a long tradition of diva competition and comparison. This thesis examines the historiography of prime donne and their feuds and then explores in turn the major components of this diva rivalry: the women’s public careers, their personal lives, and their depictions in media. Though the popular image of the two posits that Callas and Tebaldi were in direct competition for roles but strikingly different offstage, the facts suggest that they were far more similar in personality than generally acknowledged and that their repertoires had little overlap and thus sparse motive for direct professional conflict than widely assumed. I argue that much of the common knowledge about Callas and Tebaldi is the result of preconceived expectations and skewed representations rather than reality.
