    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 4 No 2 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) Published by MCSER-CEMAS-Sapienza University of Rome May 2013 Contention Between Communalist and Capitalist Inhabitants Escort to the Cold War Dr. Abdul Zahoor Khan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of History & Pakistan Studies Faculty of Social Sciences, International Islamic University, Islamabad-Pakistan, Phone Office: +92-51-9019517, Cell: +92-300-5527644, +92-300-7293535 Emails: [email protected], , [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2013.v4n2p437 Abstract: In retrospect, the question, (what was the cold war about?), seems to a great extent harder to answer than it probably did to contemporaries, some of whom would probably shake their head in wonderment at the above analysis. Yet if we address each of its putative justifications singly, any clear answer seems to fade into the ether. First, from the U.S. side, was the cold war about fighting communism? As long as the Soviet Union remained the sole Communist state, this was a fairly simple proposition, because communism and Russian/Soviet power amounted to the same thing. After 1948, however, with the emergence of independent centers of Communist power in Yugoslavia and then in China, the ideological simplicity of the cold war disappeared. The United States found itself supporting communism in its national variety precisely in order to complicate the projection of Soviet power. The Yugoslav case has been mentioned; and although the U.S. opening to China would be delayed by two, decades of tragic ideological blindness, the United States did undertake, after 1956, to encourage and cultivate national communism in Eastern Europe in the form of the policy of differentiation.

The uncorroborated testimo- TIP OF THE ny of a white undercover narcotics officer led to the DRUG WAR ICEBERG arrest of nearly half of the town’s adult African American population. Guilty verdicts stacked up and innocent people went to prison, despite gross misconduct in the case. In 2003, after an extraordi- nary national campaign challenging the wrongful prosecutions, all of those imprisoned were released. In scrutinizing this travesty of justice, Tulia: Tip of the Drug War Iceberg examines the connections between racial profiling, law enforcement miscon- duct, federally funded drug task forces, and the country as a whole. It demonstrates that the events in Tulia were not an isolated case of one cop gone bad, but instead represent systemic problems in the U.S. justice system. And, it offers recommenda- tions for how to prevent future “Tulias.” 60512_TXT 12/7/04 2:58 PM Page 1 TULIA TIP OF THE DRUG WAR ICEBERG JANUARY 2005 The Open Society Policy Center (OSPC) is a non-partisan organization that engages in policy advocacy on U.S. and international issues, including domestic civil liberties, multilateralism, economic development, civil rights, human rights, women’s rights and criminal justice reform.

Watergate: What Was It? by JOHN W. DEAN, IH* First, let me say it is certainly a pleasure to participate in what I believe to be the first serious scholarly examination of the impact of Watergate on the legal profession and the integrity of public service. Certainly sufficient time has passed to take a hard look and reach some conclusions about whether, in fact, Watergate made any difference. I look forward to the insights and observations of the distinguished panelists who have been assembled for this occasion. Events not of my choosing have required me to spend considerable time during the last nine years looking back at my Watergate experience. As a result, I have now read testimony of many others involved in Watergate that I had never looked at or been aware of before; I have examined countless books and memoirs about these events that I had purposefully avoided; and I have spent several months (cumulatively) at the National Archives going through files and presidential recordings from the Nixon White House, plus the files of the Senate Watergate Committee and the Watergate Special Prosecutor's Office.

  • Annual Alexander Valley Film Festival!
    5th annual ALEXANDER VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL OCTOBER 17-20, 2019 Welcome to the 5th Annual Alexander Valley Film Festival! We welcome you to the celebration of an astonishing five years of film, friendship, fun, and philanthropy in Northern Sonoma County. In just five years, we’ve built an organization that provides young people with career-ready skills training through film workshops. We’ve screened hundreds of films for our community and welcomed more than a hundred filmmakers who shared their work with us. Together, we’ve raised $1,000,000 for the Alexander Valley Film Society’s year-round educational and cultural programming. Perhaps most importantly, we’ve cemented our role in the community as the host, conduit, and gatekeeper for the dynamic influence of movies – a role that will only grow in impact and become more self-sustaining in coming years. Our finest work continues to take place in collaboration with partners old and new. This year, AVFS launched a partnership with Corazón Healdsburg to produce a Spanish language series, ¡Vamos Junto El Cine! (Let’s Go to the Movies!). Generating access to great films and representation on the big screen for underrepresented groups is critical to our mission of creating and strengthening community through film. We also joined forces this past summer with the City of Healdsburg and the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce to bring free movies to the community in both English and Spanish. What could be better than hosting families of all ages as they come together to view a heart- warming film under a canopy of stars? Maker.
