This is June 27, 2007. I'm here with Dr. Ed Harper, for the Richard Nixon Presidential Oral History Program. Dr. Harper, I'm delighted that you are joining us today for this interview. Ed Harper Thank you, glad to be here. Timothy Naftali Let's just start at the beginning. How did you come to join the Nixon administration? Ed Harper Well, I was working for Arthur Doolittle[phonetic sp], a consulting firm here in Washington, doing public policy analysis in different areas, and an old friend of mine from high school days, Bud Krogh, asked me if I'd come over and have lunch with him and John Ehrlichman, and I did. And John said, "Well, when can you join us on the domestic policy staff?" And I said, "How about Friday?" So that's how I came to be on the staff. Timothy Naftali At -- Male Speaker One second. Timothy Naftali Put to what it was before, so -- this matters, please. Ed Harper Sure. Timothy Naftali Tell us some stories. Ed Harper Well, why I was there goes back a little before that meeting.

And Bob Mayo was a 2007-06-27-HAR Ed Harper Interview Transcription Page 2 of 31 June 27, 2007 protégé of David Kennedy's, a banker from Chicago, and it always kind of amazed me that Kennedy just off handedly said to Nixon before the election, said, "Oh, you know, Mr.

  • BC Fulton Hall of Fame

    BC Fulton Hall of Fame

    Dear Fultonians, The Fultonian for Summer 2019 was mailed on July 12, 2019 and contained a completely unexpected honor for me as I learned that I had been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a representative of the Golden Age of Fulton Debate. It came at a perfect time for me to immediately show it to my brother Kevin, who had entered BC in 1967 and co-chaired the Fulton High School Debate Tournament in 1968. It also came at a perfect time in the history of Boston College, since the Boston College Magazine had just announced that the archive of issues from 100 years of The Heights has been made available on the internet. So I was able to browse my life at BC and recall my time as a Fultonian. I realize that your march through the decades made me one of the first honorees with an opportunity to thank you for the honor. Accordingly, I feel the obligation to recount my journey to this honor with the help of pictures and the thousands of words they merit. I was in the vortex of the Golden Age, because it didn’t begin with me and it didn’t end with me. My entrance to the Fulton certainly did not presage such an honor, based on my high school record as a member of the Behrens Debate Society of Canisius High School. I certainly couldn’t have been described as a “former all-state debater from Illinois” as Charlie Lawson, CBA ’70 was in 1967. The only debate tournament I won in high school occurred on Nov.

    “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: the Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920S

    “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: The Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920s Arthur S. Meyers” In Sinclair Lewis’s fictional Zenith, Ohio, in 1920, George Babbitt complained to his wife that their daughter and her beau were “trudging off to lectures by authors and Hindu philosophers and Swedish lieutenants.” Lewis was describing an actual phenomenon taking place in several hundred industrial cities, including at least four in Indiana. The Open Forum lecture movement was remarkable: a locally planned, non-partisan, non-sectarian initiative in public learning, reaching thousands of people around the country. Expanding beyond the Chautauqua lecture movement in topics and locale, it brought a wide range of people together to discuss the vital concerns and intellectual advances of the day and to consider the core beliefs and values in their lives.’ Although the Open Forum has faded from history, it was a model of social commitment, public learning, and freedom of speech that took root not only in metropolitan areas but also in small cities in the Midwest. The story of the movement in Terre Haute and Hammond in the 1920s provides fresh insight into Indiana’s history, revealing a previously unknown interest in the ideas of liberal reformers and support for public learning, and documenting the social activism of a minister and rabbi. It also suggests that other smaller urban communities of the Midwest were less provincial and more politically varied than most accounts of the era suggest. The Open Forum is best understood in both religious and political terms.

    Voices of MLAC by John J

    Voices of MLAC By John J. Carroll, Esq. Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, P.C. Access to Justice Fellow Project 2017-2018 PREFACE In his Access to Justice Fellowship with the Equal Justice Coalition, John Carroll interviewed leadership, staff, and other stakeholders in the Massachusetts legal services community. From these interviews, and using other historical resources, John authored the collection of narratives in this document, tracing the origins of civil legal aid in Massachusetts and detailing the vital services provided by the 14 programs funded by the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation (a co-founding member of the EJC). These narratives will be translated into a variety of formats (articles, blog posts, fact sheets) for the EJC, MLAC, and civil legal aid programs to use in outreach, legislative advocacy, and other educational efforts. * Client names in this document have been changed to protect individual privacy. DEDICATION This project is dedicated to the men and women who work in, and have worked in the legal services programs described here. This year marks the 35th anniversary of MLAC’s existence. Over 30 current employees have been at their respective programs all that time. A special dedication to Lonnie Powers, who has been the Executive Director of MLAC since its inception. Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the inexhaustible energy of Catherine Rizos, Director of Communications at MLAC. Her skills in formatting, editing and project management were indispensable in bringing this work alive. Special thanks to Emily Spiewak and Sean Smerczynski at Meehan Boyle, who continually assisted in the drafting and editing process.
