It was an exercise in living on minimal standard subsistence food, poor equipment and clothing, and minimal navigational guides. And though they received emotional support from friends and family, experts and those with experience on the route were spar in their encouragement. What I find even more amazing was that the young Sevareid was able to write and publish his book covering this saga while still an undergraduate student at the U of Minnesota. I was able to detect flashes of brilliance in the writing of this amazing year-old, who would go on to become one of America's great journalists.

The epic canoe trip in lasted nearly four months and extended more than 2, miles. Did I mention they were 17 and 19?!?! This gem offers a peek behind the curtain during that time in our nations history. Oct 10, Marie Carmean rated it really liked it. I cannot say how happy I am that this book found its way back into print! What a fascinating testament to the tenacity of youth. Two young men just out of high school decide that summer in the s to canoe 2, miles from Minnesota to Hudson Bay. Almost everyone they meet tells them it can't be done; that they are foolish to go that far. Yet, they are determined to see this through, and see it through they do! They were likely the first men to do so But no one knows. The boys are writing articles for a newspaper all along the way, and are facing dangers most people only have in nightmares, battling time as winter cold approaches. It is written in an easy, almost "letter to home" style, and is such a joy to read. The author is one of the two boys Eric Sevareid. One can say this adventure and the writing of it, launched his journalism career. Certainly it was a summer that made him a man. Dec 29, Kurt rated it really liked it Recommends it for: People who enjoy true wilderness adventure stories. Shelves: non-fictionadventure. Always a big fan of true outdoor adventure stories, I was especially intrigued when I heard about this one because the author, who was only 17 at the time, was someone whose name was well-known to me. Eric Sevareid was a long-time reporter and anchorman for one of the national news networks during the 60's and 70's.

Canoeing with the Cree is the story of Sevareid and his friend, Walter Port, both teenagers, who decide to spend the summer of canoeing all the way from their home in Minneapolis to Hudson Bay over miles away. It is an incredible story. The trip was no cake walk; in fact, these two teenagers were likely the first people to complete this trip and were also likely the first to ever canoe the last stretch down God's Canoeing with the Cree: A 2250-Mile Voyage from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay to Hudson Bay. Many times while reading this book I thought how easily this trip could have turned disastrous. I wondered if I would ever permit my teenage boys to do something as wild and reckless. Of course I wouldn't. But on the other hand, I know these two boys had the adventure of a lifetime and never regretted it for the rest of their lives. This book made me re-evaluate what life is all about. We need to take chances in life. We need to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. Always playing it safe is for sissies who will lie on their deathbeds wondering what they did with their lives. Anyway, this is a great book. It is very short and easy to read, and every page of it is interesting and delightful. Jun 03, Geoff Wyss rated it really liked it. If I were going to recommend a nature-adventure book for adults, I'd definitely recommend 'Kon-Tiki' over 'Canoeing with the Cree. But this book is going to be perfect for my English III classes, the quarter on the theme of nature. It's an account of two high-school boys who decide to paddle Canoeing with the Cree: A 2250-Mile Voyage from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay the Minnesota River into Canada and all the way to Hudson Bay, over miles. The book is essentially worked-up journals, day piled after day, as the boys get farther and farther from people and comfort. Ultimately, the book unwittingly sparks a lot of the same questions as Thoreau, the writer who'll be one of the bases of the quarter.

MASS MEDIA AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN POLITICS I. INTRODUCTION The importance of the mass media1 in today's society cannot be over- estimated. Especially in the arena of policy-making, the media's influ- ence has helped shape the development of American government. To more fully understand the political decision-making process in this coun- try it is necessary to understand the media's role in the performance of political officials and institutions. The significance of the media's influ- ence was expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "The Press has become the greatest power within Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: '2 By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?" The importance of the media's power and influence can only be fully appreciated through a complete understanding of who or what the media are.

    CBS NEWS INQUIRY "The Warren Report" Part IV as broadcast over the CBS TELEVISION NETWORK Wednesday, June 28, 1967 10:00-11:00 PM, EDT With CBS NEWS Correspondents Walter Cronkite Dan Rather Eric Sevareid and KRLD-TV News Director Eddie Barker EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Leslie Midgley 1967. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. All rights reserved. WALTER CRONKITE: Good evening. For the past three nights we have been examining the circumstances of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On Sunday, we returned to Dealey Plaza to recreate that fatal motorcade ride beneath the windows of the Texas School Book Depository. Believing that rifle tests conducted by the Warren Commission were less than adequate, we conducted new tests, more closely simulating the conditions of the actual murder. We found hitherto undiscovered evidence in film of the murder itself, that the killer had more time than the minimal 5.6 seconds indicated in the Warren Report to get the shots off. And we concluded that beyond reasonable doubt, Oswald was indeed at least one of the killers. But was there more than one? On Monday night, we interviewed eyewitnesses who said all the shots came from the School Book Depository. And others equally insistent that there were shots from the grassy knoll overlooking the motorcade itself. We tested more exhaustively than did the Warren Commission the extremely controversial single bullet theory, found that one bullet could, indeed, have wounded both the President and Governor Connally. We heard autopsy surgeon, James Humes, break three and a half years of silence to report that he has re-examined the X-rays and photographs of the President's body, and still has no doubt that all the shots struck from behind.

    “Demonization in Democracy” Dylan Marando Demonization in Democracy Dylan Marando We are in a conflict between good and evil, and America will call evil by its name. - George W. Bush Politics and Religion The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America declares: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The amendment is a classic expression of the desire to separate Church and State. It is a clear sign that, though the founding fathers of America respected personal religion and its effects on morality, they were somewhat fearful of the proven power of religious institutions to become the force of law. 1 Therefore, the architects of American ideology strove to achieve the disestablishment of faiths by creating absolute divisions between institutions of a spiritual nature and institutions of a political nature. It is crucial to recognize, however, that the separation of Church and State does not necessarily, and has not historically, led to the separation of religion and politics. In many ways what the above legislation does is merely make “religion an open marketplace in which religious groups [are] free to compete for the bodies and souls of the people.”2 It provides every religion with an equal opportunity to edify or corrupt the minds of the American public and the elected officials that represent them. The aim of this essay will be to explore how religious conceptions of evil have shaped serious political dialogue in the United States. The essay will argue that notions of evilness have been used by the political establishment to create a sense of extreme and inherent otherness and, therefore, to distract citizens from the substance of complex and often unjustified policy programs.

Though Jews had been living in Minnesota since the mid- nineteenth century, the end of World War I marked the beginning of a decades- long period during which Jews faced discrimination and exclusion from both formal and informal cultural and economic networks. Fears and hardship brought on by the Great Depression exacerbated underlying racial and religious tensions. In the 1920s, Minnesota’s Ku Klux Klan targeted Jews, Catholics, and immi- grants, as well as people of color. An increase in nativist sentiment, in part a reaction to the Russian Rev- olution of 1917, also resulted in the immigration quota system of 1924.
