Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Plato Malozemoff dated February 1, 1988. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved Plato Malozemoff until May 1, 1995, and thereafter to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

  • Emigration from England to South Africa
    Chapter 11: Emigration from England to South Africa When we landed at Harwich this time there was no trouble with Customs. Out of the dock area our first need was to fill up with petrol and when we did so Nigel was very intrigued and said to me quietly so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings ‘Daddy, They all speak English here!’ Of course, as they were often during the day in Utrecht in the care of a Dutch nanny (after her marriage, Kitty had been replaced by ‘Babs’), they heard a lot of Dutch spoken and understood quite a bit. When Babs took them to the Wilhelminapark (where it was forbidden to walk on the grass!), she would take them to see the ducks and they knew them as ‘eendtjes’ and a passing horse would be referred to as ‘een paard’. Only two days after we returned to England Stuart was being a little fractious when being taken for a walk in his push-chair, or stroller as it seems to be now called, and we attempted to distract his attention from whatever was worrying him by pointing out a passing horse and cart by saying ‘Kijk, Stuart, een paard!’ he replied crossly ‘It isn’t a paard, it’s a horse!’ Life in England was obviously not going to easy because we did not have a home, we only had the car for a few days until I would have to hand it over to Dr Johnson, my replacement for the job in Holland, and all I had to build a practice around was my appointment at the Middlesex which thanks to the introduction of the National Health Service was paid now, but not enough to keep a wife and family of three children.

  • RECORD of JÖKULHLAUPS at TULSEQUAH and SALMON GLACIERS, NORTHWESTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA Marten Geertsema, BC Forest Service, Prince George, BC John J
    RECORD OF JÖKULHLAUPS AT TULSEQUAH AND SALMON GLACIERS, NORTHWESTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA Marten Geertsema, BC Forest Service, Prince George, BC John J. Clague, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC Abstract Jökulhlaups (glacial outburst floods) from lakes dammed by Tulsequah and Salmon glaciers, northwestern British Columbia, have occurred periodically since the early and middle twentieth century, respectively. The floods commenced after decades of substantial downwasting and retreat of the glaciers from their Little Ice Age maximum positions. We use hydrometric data and other records to reconstruct the times and peak discharges of the floods. Tulsequah Lake, which is dammed by Tulsequah Glacier, and Summit Lake, dammed by Salmon Glacier, initially grew in surface area and volume, but, with continued glacier retreat, they have gradually decreased in size. The first jökulhlaups from these lakes were the largest, and discharges decreased as the lakes diminished in size. Tulsequah Glacier impounds two lakes that have developed at different times as the glacier retreated. Tulsequah Lake formed and began to produce outburst floods approximately a half century before Lake No Lake. Today, Tulsequah Lake is much smaller in size, and produces much smaller floods, than Lake No Lake. As glaciers in northwestern B.C. continue to shrink in response to climate warming, additional glacier-dammed lakes may form. Thus, the hazard of catastrophic outburst floods is expected to continue. Résumé Des jökulhlaups (inondations catastrophiques) résultant de l’effondrement de barrages glaciaires formés par les glaciers Tulsequah et Salmon, situés au nord-ouest de la Colombie-Britannique, se sont produits périodiquement au début et au milieu du vingtième siècle, respectivement.

They’ve made their fortune by manipulating markets and fixing prices. Their money has come from ordinary people all over the world who imagine they’re investing in something rare and valuable. But this is a family which deals in illusion. It presides over one of the last great cartels, an extraordinarily successful business empire worth $60 billion. This is the Oppenheimer family and their trade is diamonds. NARRATOR: The richest diamond jewelry market in the world is in New York. It’s a $10.8 billion business. Around 47th Street, there are twenty-five thousand people who buy, cut, polish and sell diamonds, from the most glamorous jewelry to the cheapest mail-order. It’s a highly secretive and risky business. The Oppenheimers themselves declined to help in any way in the making of this film. Bill Goldberg is one of the few top dealers who will talk openly about what he does. BILL GOLDBERG: It’s fascinating, it’s amazing that a lot of men that are ten years younger than I am can’t wait to retire and I can’t wait to get here in the morning at eight o’clock, to produce these beautiful works, these beautiful pieces of art from what looks like a pebble on the beach.

  • Hoover Digest
    HOOVER DIGEST RESEARCH + OPINION ON PUBLIC POLICY WINTER 2019 NO. 1 THE HOOVER INSTITUTION • STANFORD UNIVERSITY The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace was established at Stanford University in 1919 by Herbert Hoover, a member of Stanford’s pioneer graduating class of 1895 and the thirty-first president of the United States. Created as a library and repository of documents, the Institution approaches its centennial with a dual identity: an active public policy research center and an internationally recognized library and archives. The Institution’s overarching goals are to: » Understand the causes and consequences of economic, political, and social change » Analyze the effects of government actions and public policies » Use reasoned argument and intellectual rigor to generate ideas that nurture the formation of public policy and benefit society Herbert Hoover’s 1959 statement to the Board of Trustees of Stanford University continues to guide and define the Institution’s mission in the twenty-first century: This Institution supports the Constitution of the United States, its Bill of Rights, and its method of representative government. Both our social and economic sys- tems are based on private enterprise, from which springs initiative and ingenuity. Ours is a system where the Federal Government should undertake no govern- mental, social, or economic action, except where local government, or the people, cannot undertake it for themselves. The overall mission of this Institution is, from its records, to recall the voice of experience against the making of war, and by the study of these records and their publication to recall man’s endeavors to make and preserve peace, and to sustain for America the safeguards of the American way of life.

  • Abstract This Paper Explores the Under-Appreciated Role of Business
    Business and the South African Transition Itumeleng Makgetla and Ian Shapiro Draft: February 20, 2016 Abstract This paper explores the under-appreciated role of business in negotiated transitions to democracy. Drawing on our interviews of key South African business leaders and political elites, we show how business played a vital role in enabling politicians to break out of the prisoners’ dilemma in which they had been trapped since the 1960s and move the country toward the democratic transition that took place in 1994. Business leaders were uniquely positioned to play this role, but it was not easy because they were internally divided and deeply implicated in Apartheid’s injustices. We explain how they overcame these challenges, how they facilitated negotiations, and how they helped keep them back on track when the going got rough. We also look at business in other transitional settings, drawing on South Africa’s experience to illuminate why business efforts to play a comparable role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have failed. We end by drawing out the implications of our findings for debates about democratic transitions and the role of business interests in them. Department of Political Science, P.O.

Email: [email protected] or [email protected] On March 21, 1960, police opened fire on a demonstration against South Africa’s pass laws in Sharpeville, fifty miles south of Johannesburg, killing 69 people. The callousness of the massacre – many victims were shot in the back while fleeing – triggered a major escalation in the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC) and the National Party (NP) government.

  • Alaska Journal 2007
    ALASKA 2007 JOURNAL 2 August 2007 Kathy and I pulled out of the yard at 2:30 p.m. EDT en route to Alaska. She is a little stressed because of so much she wants/has to do at home, but I think after a couple of days on the road, she’ll be fine. The odometer read 23,624. I’m going to make up a daily calendar to record the highlights of each day. The weather is a bit glum, raining slightly as we leave. We have accumulated a 20-inch rainfall deficit through about a week ago, but three days ago the skies opened up and Tallahassee got about 5 to 7 inches of rain, which seems to be continuing. I noticed that Lake Iamonia was bone dry, however, when we passed it. Our plan today is simply to make it to the Atlanta house of Mary Alice Steinheimer, Kathy’s Mom. We drove up Georgia 300 to I-75 and then made it to Kathy’s Mom’s house in Sandy Springs (just north of downtown Atlanta) at about 8:45 p.m. En route my doctor called me and said I had Giardia. He called in a prescription to a Walgreen Pharmacy on Roswell Drive and we picked it up at just before 10:00 p.m. Across the street Kathy, her Mom, and I had a good, but late, supper at the Landmark Diner. The ladies had matzo ball soup and I had eggplant Parmesan with a nice little Greek salad side dish. Kathy and I dropped into bed at about 11:30 p.m.
