    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • Daryl Hall and William Shatner to Join Diy Network’S Celebrity Roster in 2014
    DARYL HALL AND WILLIAM SHATNER TO JOIN DIY NETWORK’S CELEBRITY ROSTER IN 2014 NEW YORK (For Immediate Release—April 1, 2014) From celebrities tackling home remodels to regular folks renovating their homes, DIY Network will premiere seven new series that focus on the realities of home improvement. The network’s latest addition to its “celebrity home rehab” franchise, The Shatner Project, premieres in October and will follow the home renovation of actor William Shatner, instantly recognizable to television fans as the original Star Trek captain, James T. Kirk, commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise; Sergeant T.J. Hooker of T.J. Hooker and Attorney Denny Crane of Boston Legal. In July, the highly anticipated series, Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall will premiere, starring singer/songwriter Daryl Hall from the musical duo Hall & Oates as he revives the historic charm of an 18th century Connecticut home. In addition, popular licensed contractor Jason Cameron will help homeowners smash their way to gorgeous new spaces by wrecking and remodeling their worst rooms in the new series, Sledgehammer. “DIY Network offers an authentic look at the realities of dealing with any home improvement project,” said Steven Lerner, senior vice president of programming development, HGTV and DIY Network. “When fans see Daryl Hall chasing his passion for historical rehab or William Shatner remodeling his outdated LA pad, they’re getting a glimpse of a real renovation – and they’re seeing that no matter who you are, the challenges that come with tackling a home remodel are universal.” Additional new DIY Network series will include First Time Flippers featuring overzealous property virgins who put their do-it-yourself real estate skills to the ultimate test and Stone Age which follows father and son duo, Steve and Nick Rhule, as they build amazing custom outdoor designs, including waterfalls, patios and fire pits, one rock at a time.

  • Cooking by Ms. Shubitz After Years of Living in Cities Where I Could Easily
    Cooking by Ms. Shubitz After years of living in cities where I could easily go out to dinner or order take-out, I moved to a Harrisburg suburb in 2009. No longer could I rely on Whole Foods (There wasn’t one for 75+ miles!) for prepared dinners. Unless I wanted to order-in pizza every night, I knew I’d have to start cooking. It’s not like I didn’t know how to cook. I just hadn’t had the time to cook much when I was a classroom teacher. Therefore, in order to get learn how to cook, I had to watch other people do it. Good thing we had the Food Network on cable. I spent hours watching the Food Network the first year we lived in Pennsylvania. If I found a recipe on a show that looked good, I tried it out. Sometimes the recipes tasted as delicious as the TV hosts claimed they were and other times they were a flop. In addition to finding good recipes on the Food Network, I also learned cooking techniques from the on-air talent. For instance, Ina Garten (aka: the Barefoot Contessa) taught me how to make a chiffonade of basil! I learned how to grill by watching Bobby Flay use the barbeque. I’m always on the lookout for a new dish that will taste great. I have subscribed to magazines like Cooking Light and websites like America’s Test Kitchen. I regularly peruse Pinterest and cooking blogs, like Smitten Kitchen, for new recipe ideas. I’m always trying out something new and hoping that it will become worthy of my recipe binders! Along the way, I’ve had cooking accidents.

In The Underground Railroad—a selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2016—author Colson Whitehead (Sep 26) chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. While interweaving the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day, The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a powerful meditation on the history we all share. Whitehead will discuss the book and its relevance to the current social and political climate with Lisa Lucas, executive director of the National Book Foundation.

    CARRIE WELCH [email protected] • @CarriePDX Carrie Welch is Co-Owner of Little Green Pickle and Co-Founder of Bon Appetit Presents Feast Portland in Portland, Oregon. Little Green Pickle provides public relations, marketing, social media and web services for some of the most electric restaurants and artisans in the Portland food and drink scene, as well as national chefs and brands. When Carrie and wife Jannie moved from New York City in 2010 to work in Portland's ingenious food industry, Little Green Pickle originally began as a precursor to their dream restaurant. One service job and many spilled water glasses later, she decided she was better talking about restaurants, beverages, and artisan and Little Green Pickle was born. Since its first year in 2012, Feast Portland celebrates everything that makes the Pacific Northwest awesome through a dynamic, multi-day food and drink festival. With over 80 chefs, 30 events and tens of thousands of attendees, the festival has raised over $200,000 for hunger relief in the U.S. Feast Portland received Travel Portland’s “Portland” award, which honors the top contribution to the region’s reputation, and has been named as one of North America’s 15 Best Food Festivals by Fodors and The Best Food Festival in the Country by Thrillist. For Carrie, both Little Green Pickle and Feast Portland draw on the past experience of a 10- year career at Food Network as Vice President of Public Relations, overseeing all consumer press, talent relations, digital PR, social media, charitable efforts, and launching successful shows for now ubiquitous celebrity chefs Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, Ina Garten, Alton Brown, and Duff Goldman.
