Chairperson, Board of Trustees 3 Gartner Gets In Gear for MS By Jacqueline Sembor, Communications Specialist hen Lew Schwartz was just six weeks old, his mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As an infant, Schwartz wouldn’t know the long, Wwinding road that lay ahead. More than 62 years later, Schwartz is still traveling the highway that one day may lead to a cure—now with a dedicated team riding with him. Deeda Schatz Edelson, Schwartz’s mother, lived in the Hartford area most of her life. She was a strong woman, whom Schwartz described as independent and successful despite her illness. One of two female graduates in her class at the University of Con- necticut School of Law, Schatz fought through her MS while studying. After graduation, she began working at a law firm in Hartford. Schatz was a long-time member of both the National MS Society and her local chapter. She lived to see age 70 before passing away in December 1994.

Peter Hall, Ronald Schatz, Richard Slotkin, and Lucas Held made early suggestions which got me started. Max Corvo, Louis LaBella, Luciano Campisi, Sebastian ("Mike") Marino, and Joseph Passanisi were willing to take the time to tell me about their experiences and about the history of Italian Middletown. Lisa Siegel '83 and Craig Edwards '83 gave me useful pointers about the art of thesis-writing. Donald Meyer served as my advisor, and Richard Buel made additional suggestions about the text.

  • The Barons of Middletown and the Decline of the North- Eastern Anglo-Protestant Elite*
    THE BARONS OF MIDDLETOWN AND THE DECLINE OF THE NORTH- EASTERN ANGLO-PROTESTANT ELITE* Dean Acheson, the urbane secretary of state who personified Downloaded from America’s white Anglo-Saxon Protestant elite, was a native of Middletown, Connecticut, a small manufacturing and commer- cial city in the centre of the state. Son of an English father and Canadian mother, he was born in Middletown in 1893, just as Sicilian and Polish immigrants were beginning to find jobs in the http://past.oxfordjournals.org/ town. Acheson grew up in the rectory of the Church of the Holy Trinity, where his father, the Episcopal bishop of Connecticut, served as pastor. When the future diplomat was a boy, elderly neighbours told stories about the ‘clipper ships [that] dropped anchor there, home round the Horn from China’. Middletown’s days as a small international seaport ended in the mid nineteenth century. Yet‘the boom left imposing houses on High Street at the top of the hill with its four rows of great elms’, Acheson recalled in at Wesleyan University on March 20, 2013 1965. ‘Now Wesleyan University owns them all; but in the golden age the last of the barons still lived there — the Russells, the Hubbards, the Alsops, Governor Weeks’.1 Secretary Acheson’s recollection was accurate in every respect but one. Although Joseph Alsop IV did leave Middletown at the turn of the century and ultimately settled in Avon, Connecticut, where he and his wife Corinne, a niece of Theodore Roosevelt, raised their sons, the renowned foreign affairs journalists Joseph and Stewart, Middletown’s other ‘barons’ did not depart then.

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising.
