ROM START TO FINISH, WE’VE HAD A WILD RIDE THIS YEAR IN THE WORLD -- AND AT THE Eagleton Institute of Politics. To begin at the end – the Institute and our larger community faced a wrenching good- Fbye. For almost 50 years, Professor Alan Rosenthal presided at a writing table covered with handwritt en research notes on 4x6 index cards in his second-fl oor Eagleton offi ce. His door always open, he welcomed a steady stream of students, staff , colleagues, and assorted advice seekers and admirers as he wrote book aft er book about the processes and politics of lawmaking and governing in the states. Alan Rosenthal, an irreplaceable presence, gone but never forgott en. (See inside back cover .) Ten months earlier, the academic year began on a celebratory note, welcoming the new president of Rutgers University, Dr. Robert Barchi. He arrived to weighty expectations and enormous challenges as Rutgers moved to integrate a major medical school into the University. In September, New Jersey’s political movers and shakers accepted Eagleton’s invitation to meet the man with the responsibility for leading Rutgers through this transformation (see page 16). For the Eagleton Institute of Politics, events outside academia are as relevant to our classrooms and scholarship as anything happening on campus. Th e year off ered much grist for our mill. September was the fi rst, but far from the last, time that many of us heard about a place called Benghazi and learned about the tragic events that unfolded there. October brought us Superstorm Sandy, a destructive force throughout our region and a signature event for New Jersey politics and Governor ’s leadership and political future. In November, we re-elected a president and a divided, dysfunctional Congress. December produced yet another locus of horrifying loss and pain as the country and world discovered Newtown, Connecticut. In January, our re-elected President was inaugurated, remarkably invoking Seneca Falls, Selma and Stonewall to remind us that as far as we’ve come as a nation, formi- dable barriers remain to be shatt ered. At the same time, the stalemated Congress sought to avoid a bud- get sequestration, but postponed it only until March 1st. In March, the Supreme Court heard cases that would have far reaching consequences for the future of marriage equality in the United States. In April, Rutgers itself was rocked by fi rings and resignations aft er the unacceptable behavior of the men’s bas- ketball coach came to light. Just a few days later, the Boston Marathon bombings horrifi ed the nation. And then in May, a thrilling sign of hope and resiliency. Eagleton’s graduate Fellows, hard hats and all, rose above the New York City skyline to view fi rsthand the spire that now tops One World Trade Center at a symbolic 1,776 feet. Th ey stood there, inspired and engaged, ready to serve and maybe lead the world at their feet. (See page 22 for photo.) A recent study reported that parents might actively discourage their children from considering careers in electoral politics or public leadership. Neither Alan Rosenthal, nor our students perched high above New York City, would agree with these parents. Along with the rest of us at the Eagleton Institute, Alan saw politics and public service as important work-- sloppy, confusing, sometimes dirty, but fundamen- tally sound in its core value, that of supporting and managing a representative democracy. As the year has shown, there is more than enough work to do on more than enough messes. We can- not aff ord to discourage our children. Th ose who choose civic engagement and public service are work- ing on behalf of every one of us. Th e Eagleton Institute endorses that choice.

IT’S ALL POLITICS Th e Borowitz Report: Politics 2013 New Yorker humorist and blogger Andy Borowitz, boast- ing of the honor of being invited to speak to “the Eag,” ranged widely over the American political scene. He of- fered critiques of various cable news outlets, of the 2012 Republican presidential primary candidates, and of po- litical advertising. Borowitz concluded by describing fi ve issues that had been ignored by the media: fast food (questioning whether McDonald’s is so slow that there’s a need for McDonald’s Express); reality shows conveying the message that a TV show is the best place to meet a life partner; the ubiquity of the internet, with even Doritos bags off ering a URL for further information; his father’s obsession with Th e Weather Channel; and the process of ordering hotel room entertainment. Th e event, part of the It’s All Politics series, was sponsored by the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.

Alan Rosenthal (1932–2013)

AGLETON’S BELOVED PROFESSOR ALAN ROSENTHAL DIED ON

July 10, 2013. A member of the Rutgers faculty at the Institute from 1966 until his death, Rosenthal served as director of the Institute Efrom 1974-1994. He was a professor in the Department of Political Science and a member of the faculty for the Graduate Programs

in Public Policy at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. He gradu- ated from Harvard College in 1953, and earned M.P.A.(1958) and Ph.D.(1961) degrees from Princeton University. Author of more than a dozen books and hundreds of chapters, papers, articles and monographs, Rosenthal was the nation’s leading scholar of state legislatures, renowned both for studying and teaching about their workings and for consult- ing in at least 35 states to improve their functioning. He established and directed Eagleton’s Center for State Legislative Research and Service, was instrumental in the development of the National Conference of State Legislatures, and worked closely with the State Legislative Leaders Foundation and the Council of State Governments. Th e recipient of many awards for his academic achievement and his public service, Rosenthal was honored with the American Political Science Asso- ciation’s Charles E. Merriam Award, a career achievement award from the National Conference of State Legislatures, and the New Jersey Governor’s Award for Public I’m an educator, and I also believe in our Service. political system. I think politics is a great In New Jersey, Rosenthal took on prominent public service roles, including enterprise, and the more people know serving as the tie-breaking member of the New Jersey Redistricting Commission (2011); chairing the New Jersey Congressional Redistricting Commission in both about it, the bett er off people will be and 1992 and 2001; and chairing the New Jersey Legislature’s Joint Committ ee on the bett er off our political system will be. Ethical Standards. —Alan Rosenthal Devoted to his students and to building Eagleton’s graduate and undergraduate programs, Rosenthal maintained lifelong relationships with many Institute alum- ni. He shared with them his love of politics and a faith in government as an institu- tion. As a champion of representative democracy, he instilled in them a respect for government service. All of us will miss Alan’s devotion to his students and to government service, his clear-sighted and original thinking, and his inimitable sense of humor.

24 EAGLETON INSTITUTE OF POLITICS ■ 2012-2013 Alan was one of a kind, a larger-than-life character. For almost 50 years, he spent most days writing in his offi ce at Eagleton or talking to legislators in state capitols across the country. He loved and respected the messiness of politics and the people who tried to make government work. Alan brought this passion for politics and political people to the Eagleton drawing room where for decades his students learned more about the ways of legislatures and the workings of state government than they could have imagined possible. Th rough his schol- arship, Alan created a new fi eld of study and has had an impact on generations of students and political leaders nationwide. His death is a heartbreaking loss for all of us in the Eagleton family.
