Nevertheless, after wartime service, he was admitted in 1950, on the basis of his self-education, as a graduate student in the Department of Political Science, University of Chicago, earning the A.M. in 1952 and Ph.D. in 1956. He held teaching positions at the University of Chicago, the Illinois Institute of Technology, Claremont Men’s College and Claremont Graduate School, and Northern Illinois University.

Paul Simon Doctor of Laws
The Honorands of The 2001 Commencement Honorable Paul Simon Doctor of Laws Paul Simon is a professor at Southern Illinois University, where he teaches classes in political science, history, and journalism. He joined SIU’s faculty in 1997, just weeks after retiring from the U.S. Senate. In addition, he is founder and director of the Public Policy Institute at the Carbondale campus. Illinois’s former senior U.S. senator has enjoyed a long and illustrious political career. Elected to both the state’s House and Senate, he also served a term as lieutenant governor. His wide-ranging policy interests span such diverse topics as the budget, education, disability policy, foreign affairs labor, and television violence. Born in Eugene, Oregon, Simon attended the University of Oregon and Dana College in Blair, Nebraska. At the age of 19, he became the nation’s youngest editor/publisher when he accepted a local Lion’s Club challenge to save the Troy Tribune in Troy, Ill., near St. Louis. He built a chain of 13 newspapers in southern and central Illinois, which he sold in 1966 to devote full time to public service and writing. Simon served two years (1951-1953) in the U.S. Army and was assigned to the Counter-Intelligence Corps as a special agent along the Iron Curtain in Europe. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974 and served Illinois’s 22nd and 24th Congressional districts for ten years, during which time he was chief sponsor of the Missing Children Act and of subsequent legislation that established the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. -
Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980
Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980 Robert L. Richardson, Jr. A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by, Michael H. Hunt, Chair Richard Kohn Timothy McKeown Nancy Mitchell Roger Lotchin Abstract Robert L. Richardson, Jr. Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1985 (Under the direction of Michael H. Hunt) This dissertation examines the origins and evolution of neoconservatism as a philosophical and political movement in America from 1945 to 1980. I maintain that as the exigencies and anxieties of the Cold War fostered new intellectual and professional connections between academia, government and business, three disparate intellectual currents were brought into contact: the German philosophical tradition of anti-modernism, the strategic-analytical tradition associated with the RAND Corporation, and the early Cold War anti-Communist tradition identified with figures such as Reinhold Niebuhr. Driven by similar aims and concerns, these three intellectual currents eventually coalesced into neoconservatism. As a political movement, neoconservatism sought, from the 1950s on, to re-orient American policy away from containment and coexistence and toward confrontation and rollback through activism in academia, bureaucratic and electoral politics. Although the neoconservatives were only partially successful in promoting their transformative project, their accomplishments are historically significant. More specifically, they managed to interject their views and ideas into American political and strategic thought, discredit détente and arms control, and shift U.S. foreign policy toward a more confrontational stance vis-à-vis the Soviet Union. -

He prefaced his remarks by saying that he has known all candidates e x cept one, the new position of Cornptroller, for 15 to 20 years so has had relatively good exposure to the situation. Do esn 't think Roman Pucinsk i who i s on the Democratic ticket C2.n beat Percy, but that he 'N ill probably give him a better r2.CC than anybody else. They are each going to be eating into the othe r and they're going to cause a lot of crossing back and forth. Obviously Percy i s going to be able to eat in to c ertain liberal elements over on the Democratic side; on the other hand, Pucinski, both in his voting record and in a lot of thing s he's done back here, is going to get over and eat into the Republican s ide, on the conserva tive, be c ause that's about whe re he 1 s been. -
