The University of Southern Mississippi DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY: CASPAR WEINBERGER AND THE REAGAN DEFENSE BUILDUP by Robert Howard Wieland Abstract of a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School Of The University of Southern Mississippi In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 ABSTRACT DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY: CASPAR WEINBERGER AND THE REAGAN DEFENSE BUILDUP by Robert Howard Wieland December 2013 This dissertation explores the life of Caspar Weinberger and explains why President Reagan chose him for Secretary of Defense. Weinberger, not a defense technocrat, managed a massive defense buildup of 1.5 trillion dollars over a four year period. A biographical approach to Weinberger illuminates Reagan’s selection, for in many ways Weinberger harkens back to an earlier type of defense manager more akin to Elihu Root than Robert McNamara; more a man of letters than technocrat. -

Black Swimmers of WWII
Black Lifesavers of WWII (c) Bruce Wigo, International Swimming Hall of Fame 2016 The Medal of Honor was established by an act of the United States Congress, in the early days of the American Civil War, to recognize members of the military who distinguished themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty. While heroism has been shown throughout history to be both class and color-blind, the individuals responsible for recognizing these acts have not always been as egalitarian. Racist attitudes and segregationist policies combined to deprive African Americans and other minorities of recognition by means of the Medal of Honor. There were, however, exceptions: of the 2060 Medals of Honor distributed between the Civil War and Spanish-American War, 51 medals were awarded to African Americans. One of the exceptions was Robert Augustus Sweeney, an ordinary seaman, who is one of only 19 servicemen to have received the Medal of Honor twice. In both instances, one in 1881 and the other in 1883, Sweeney, a powerful swimmer, dove off his ship, at the peril of his own life, to rescue shipmates who had fallen overboard. Coinciding with white southern politicians regaining influence in Washington in the 1880s, mass migrations of former slaves to northern states and negative stereotyping of African Americans discrimination became widespread in American culture. By the turn of the new century, these attitudes were also reflected in the policies and nature of service by African Americans in the armed forces. Negroes were no longer deemed capable of serving in the navy in any capacity other than as stewards, messmen or stevedores. -

Transcript: Tom Reed Interviewed by Lou Cannon, May 23, 2019 Lou
Transcript: Tom Reed interviewed by Lou Cannon, May 23, 2019 Lou Cannon: This is another in a series of interviews by Open California of people who played significant roles in the political career of Ronald Reagan. Open California is funded by the California State Library. And today we're sitting down with Thomas C. Reed, whose own career is varied and interesting. He graduated first in his mechanical engineering class from Cornell University. He earned a Master's in Electrical Engineering from USC. Served in the Air Force, worked on nuclear projects at the Livermore Laboratory and was Secretary of the Air Force under President Ford. But today, we're focusing on Tom Reed's relationships with Ronald Reagan. Tom, what did you find attractive about Reagan and how is it you came to work for him? Thomas C. Reed: Well, Lou, I appreciate your having me here and I appreciate the chance to contribute to history. I found him the key to my political objectives, which was to close down the Soviet empire. I got involved in politics starting in the senior year of my high school and first year in college because of two events. The war in Korea had taken a bad turn in the spring of 1951. The tide had turned; Korea was an American problem. MacArthur... General MacArthur had been fired, he came to address Congress and in that address to Congress he talked about the problems, and he delivered the punch line to me: "There is no substitute for victory." And that speech was played into our high school lunchroom. -
