  • Part C Webster L. Hubbell's Billing Practices and Tax Filings
    PART C WEBSTER L. HUBBELL'S BILLING PRACTICES AND TAX FILINGS I. INTRODUCTION Shortly after their former partner Webster L. Hubbell became Associate Attorney General of the United States in January 1993, Rose Law Firm members in Little Rock found irregularities in Hubbell's billings for 1989-92. In March 1994, regulatory Independent Counsel Robert Fiske, received information that Hubbell may have violated federal criminal laws through his billing activities. Mr. Fiske then opened a criminal investigation. In the wake of these inquiries, Hubbell announced his resignation as the Associate Attorney General on March 14, 1994, saying this would allow him to settle the matter. Upon his appointment in August 1994, Independent Counsel Starr continued the investigation already started by Mr. Fiske. This resulted in Hubbell pleading guilty to one felony count of mail fraud and one felony count of tax evasion in December 1994, admitting that he defrauded his former partners and clients out of at least $394,000.1 On June 28, 1995, Judge George Howard sentenced Hubbell to twenty-one months' imprisonment.2 Sometime after Hubbell's sentencing, the Independent Counsel learned that a meeting had been held at the White House the day before Hubbell announced his resignation, where Hubbell's problems and resignation were discussed. Senior White House officials, including the President, 1 Plea Agreement, United States v. Webster Lee Hubbell, No. 94-241 (E.D. Ark. Dec. 6, 1994).

Gordon warned her readers that the practitioners of the International Style, which she deplored as “barren,” were designing and promoting unlivable housing. She specifically condemned German immigrant architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as French architect Le Corbusier.

    Hillary Clinton (Hillary Diane RodhamClinton) Estados Unidos, Secretaria de Estado Duración del mandato: 21 de Enero de 2009 - de de Nacimiento: Chicago, Illinois, 26 de Octubre de 1947 Partido político: Demócrata Profesión : Abogada ResumenEl nombramiento de Hillary Rodham Clinton como secretaria de Estado por el nuevo presidente Barack Obama, su rival en las primarias del Partido Demócrata, marca un nuevo hito en la carrera de la política más célebre de Estados Unidos. Su matrimonio con Bill Clinton convirtió en 1993 a esta abogada con fama de feminista y radical en una primera dama con cometidos cuasi gubernamentales, si bien se la recuerda sobre todo por la crucial defensa de su relación conyugal con un presidente infiel acorralado por el escándalo Lewinsky. En 2000 ganó el mandato de senadora por Nueva York y siete años después, escorada ya al centro moderado, lanzó una briosa precandidatura presidencial que sin embargo no pudo imponerse al fenómeno Obama. En enero de 2009 Clinton ha tomado las riendas de la política exterior estadounidense invocando una "diplomacia inteligente" para manejar los graves conflictos y desafíos internacionales. http://www.cidob.org 1 of 15 Biografía 1.

  • Sylvia Porter: Gender, Ambition, and Personal Finance Journalism, 1935–1975
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: SYLVIA PORTER: GENDER, AMBITION, AND PERSONAL FINANCE JOURNALISM, 1935–1975 Tracy L. Lucht, Ph.D., 2007 Directed By: Professor Maurine H. Beasley, Philip Merrill College of Journalism This historical dissertation examines the career of Sylvia Porter (1913-1991), a syndicated newspaper columnist who developed the genre of personal finance journalism and created a space for women on the financial pages of newspapers. At the height of Porter’s success in 1975, she reached forty million readers in more than 350 newspapers, published a monthly financial advice column in Ladies’ Home Journal, and had produced a shelf full of books, including the best-selling Sylvia Porter’s Money Book. This dissertation—the first full-length account of Porter’s career—uses primary sources to trace Porter’s evolution from a media curiosity to a nationally recognized expert amid changes in women’s social and economic status. The author argues that Porter carved a niche for herself within the male-dominated field of financial journalism by using seven professional strategies: (1) She accepted a job in a non-prestigious field of journalism, (2) she allied herself with her readers rather than her peers, (3) she formed alliances with men who could help her career, (4) she used preconceptions about gender to her advantage, (5) she mythologized herself in interviews with other journalists, (6) she used multiple media platforms to reach different audiences, and (7) she appropriated the labor of other writers. The author also argues that although gender was an important facet of Porter’s public persona, her development of personal finance journalism was driven more by market forces and her eventual use of ghostwriters than by prevailing gender norms.
