I voted to end the longest government shut down in history, was on the floor during impeachment, read the Mueller Report, governed during the COVID-19 pandemic, officiated a same-sex wedding (first sitting GOP congressman to do so), and eventually became the only Republican Congressman to speak out on the floor against the encroaching and insidious digital virus of conspiracy theories related to QAnon.

  • Únicos En Su Especie
    úNICOS EN SU ESPECIE Javier YUSTE gONZÁLEZ Licenciado en Derecho UANDO la imaginación nos transporta hasta caudalosos ríos o nos permite reposar sobre la inmensidad de los grandes lagos de América del Norte, se pueden ver las altas copas de los árboles rasgar el cielo y las turbulen- tas aguas surcadas por canoas y kayaks, pero también por sus extraños y curiosos barcos provistos de palas. Molinos flotantes en movimiento. Fieles representantes de un tiempo pasado que se quedó estacionado, un poco más, en aquellas frías latitudes. Algunos llegaron a participar en la Segunda guerra Mundial. De necesidades imperiosas La misma naturaleza que nos ha dotado de ingenio, ofrece claros ejemplos de cómo varios individuos pueden acechar, atacar y vencer a otro mucho más grande y peligroso con un mínimo de coordinación, planificación, arrojo y, claro, suerte. Posiblemente nuestro primer gran éxito en esta táctica se materia- lizó cuando el hombre primitivo se organizó con otros miembros de su tribu y abatieron a un mamut para proveerse de carne; también para exterminar a otros depredadores con los que competía en una feroz lucha por la supervivencia. En la Historia de la guerra naval, por ejemplo, vemos cómo los navíos de línea sucumbían ante las ligeras y rápidas, pero mortales, fragatas. Incluso las pequeñas cañoneras, bien comandadas y provistas de dotaciones entrenadas, hacían verdaderos estragos. Mismo destino tuvieron los grandes buques acora- zados ante los zarpazos de gatos como los destructores y las lanchas, unidos al ingenio del torpedo y al posterior submarino. Ya el siglo XX vio alas metálicas para la guerra.

    TELESCOPE September 1961 Vol. 10 N o . 9 published by the Great Lakes Maritime Institute 162 Telescope In Umonam Insvpll IE* Intynntnn JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON 1892 1961 Last month, on the day that TELESCOPE went into the mails, the Institute, and this column, lost a dear friend. He was the first member of the Institute, for he founded the old Great Lakes Model Shipbuilder's Guild. He started TELESCOPE as a mimeographed monthly "newsletter", back in 1952. There is no point in trying to tally his contributions, for it can only lead back to the beginning, and he was the beginning. Because Captain Johnston was a dear friend to this column, it would be impossible to untangle sentiment from our think­ ing, and we won't even try. We loved him, and we respected him in much the same way we would a father. We looked upon him with reverence and awe. To most people he was “Cap", but we were among the very few to whom he was Joe. We can call to mind many impressions of this man; spinner of yarns, a teacher, an artist, and of course, a sailor. But most of all he was a gentleman and a gentle man. The accompanying picture says a great deal of what we think when we think of Joe. “Winky, the ship's cat", was a personality in his own right and well known to the old readers of TELESCOPE. That personality was but one facet, in reflection, of the "old man" himself. There are many more of these facets which reflect Joe for what he was, and for what his having been here has meant to us.
