    Library of Congress Interview with Robert C. Haney The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project ROBERT C. HANEY Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: September 21, 2001 Copyright 2004 ADST Q: Today is September 21, 2001. This is an interview with Robert C. Haney. This is being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training, and I'm Charles Stuart Kennedy. Let's start at the beginning. Tell me when and where you were born and something about your family. HANEY: I was born in 1921 in Independence, Iowa, a town with a population of about 3,500. Both my mother and father had been to college. My father was an instructor in manual training at the local school. My mother was a housewife. She had been a teacher. My father was from Nebraska. He had been drafted into the Army during World War I, but served only in the United States. He was of Irish origin. My paternal grandfather was still alive when I was growing up. He had been a blacksmith. I remember going out with my father to light up the forge in the blacksmith shop behind my grandparents' house. My mother was Norwegian. Unfortunately, I did not learn Norwegian as a child because we were not living in a Norwegian community. She was born in the United States but did not learn English until she was about 14 years old. She lived in a small town in Iowa called Roland, where the schools, churches, shops, everything and everybody was Norwegian.

  • An Empirical Examination of the Abortion Issue
    Yale Law & Policy Review Volume 1, Number 1, Fall 1982 ARTICLES Electoral Folklore: An Empirical Examination of the Abortion Issue Jeffrey W. Stempel* William D. Morris** For nearly a decade, the abortion issue has loomed large in American politics. City councilmen, state legislators, congressmen, presidents, and Supreme Court nominees are routinely asked their opinions on legalized abortion. Despite the controversy generated by pro-life and pro-choice' interest groups, little is known regarding the issue's impact upon voting behavior. This study seeks to enhance that knowledge by empirically examining congressional general elections in order to assess the impact of the abortion issue. We then review our finding that the abortion issue does not alter established voting patterns in these contests. I. The Abortion Issue.- A Pohtical War Without Casualty Figures During the past decade, abortion has been perhaps the most emo- tional and divisive issue in American politics. One national magazine, in its cover story devoted to the issue, described public division on the issue in Armageddon-like terms: * Law Clerk to Judge Raymond J. Broderick, Eastern District of Pennsylvania. B.A., University of Minnesota 1977; J.D., Yale Law School 1981. ** Chairman, Independent-Republican Party of Minnesota. B.A., Oakland University 1970; Ph.D., Carnegie-Mellon University 1975; Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota, 1974-1981. 1. Semantics has comprised a major battle of the abortion controversy. Those opposing the Roe v. Wade, 340 U.S. 113 (1973), decision have termed themselves "pro-life", a designa- tion frowned upon by those favoring legalized abortion. Not surprisingly, this "pro-choice" group resents the implication that it opposes life.
