Brown Confederacy” “Señor Presidente,” Lyndon Baines Johnson said via a long-distance telephone call from the Oval Office. “We are very sorry over the violence which you have had down there but gratified that you have appealed to the Panamanian people to remain calm.” President Johnson often talked politics on the phone but seldom with foreign leaders. Johnson, who had just succeeded to the presidency of the world’s most powerful country, was speaking to the head of state of one of the smaller nations of the Western Hemisphere. The call marked the only time that Johnson spoke to a Latin American counterpart by telephone during his presidency—a fact that demonstrates how serious he considered the situation.

STANLEY SNEATH* Oil Spill Liability The United States Congress continues to deliberate on companion bills which would provide exceptions to the Limitation of Liability Act' for vessels which spill oil into United States waters. The House Bill, H.R. 6803, was passed by the House by a 332 to 59 margin on September 12, 1977. The Senate version of the bill, S. 2083, is still before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Both bills would make the owner and operator of a vessel or facility strictly liable for damages ensuing from an oil spill or threatened oil spill. Recoverable damages would include those resulting from the destruction or loss of use of real or personal property or natural resources, the loss of profits or earnings resulting from this destruc- tion, and for government units, the loss of tax revenues caused by this destruction. Also recoverable are basic removal and clean-up costs.

  • Fictions and Frictions of the “Panama Roughneck”: Literary Depictions of White, US Labor in the Canal Zone
    Fictions and Frictions of the “Panama Roughneck”: Literary Depictions of White, US Labor in the Canal Zone SUNNY YANG I had come rather with the hope of shouldering a shovel and descending into the canal with other workmen, that I might someday solemnly raise my right hand and boast, “I helped dig IT.” But that was in the callow days before I had arrived and learned the awful gulf that separates the sacred white American from the rest of the Canal Zone world. — Harry A. Franck, Zone Policeman 88 Published in 1913, Harry A. Franck’s Zone Policeman 88 offers a lively account of the author’s three-month stint as a police officer and census enumerator in the Panama Canal Zone. A runaway success in the United States—the third bestselling book of the year, according to Publisher’s Weekly—the memoir was praised for its humorous but penetrating insights into the world of canal construction. In the words of a New York Times review, Franck “sees the amusing side of things, whether of personal foibles or human absurdities … but he is equally ready to discuss, though with many a whimsical touch, the serious side of the methods by which things are being accomplished down there.”1 As evidenced in the epigraph above, one such “serious side” of US governance that Franck addressed in his account was the elevation of white, American citizens over other Canal Zone employees. While popular US accounts of the construction period focused nearly exclusively on the contributions of white, American men, workers from an astonishing range of regions provided the menial labor that the “sacred white American” was spared.
