Obviously, I need to study this fascinating issue more thoroughly. I worked extensively on Time's vision toward American foreign policies between the s and today and was extremely happy to find many precious details regarding Luce's views. This is an excerpt from a review published in Bookmarks magazine. They lived among Western merchants but shared little with them. They launched it in , and young Luce quickly became a publishing titan. Overview Acclaimed historian Alan Brinkley gives us a sharply realized portrait of Henry Luce, arguably the most important publisher of the twentieth century. While I do not question what Brinkley writes, I do wonder if there is another side that is not quite as critical of Hadden. The accidental president whose innate decency and steady hand restored the presidency after its greatest crisisWhen Gerald R. It covers the life of Henry Luce, twentieth century publishing mogul. The growing presence of prosperous German and British businesses eased the lives of missionaries, but it did little to alleviate the great poverty of the vast majority of the Chinese population. He knows how to weave together Luce's often complicated professional and personal lives, never dwelling too much on one or the other. Because he was not born wealthy, Luce had to build his publishing empire primarily on hard work, contributions from wealthy patrons, and a bit of luck. He would instead attend divinity school and seek a posting abroad, perhaps in China where Pitkin also hoped to go. Ford American Presidents Series. Luce spent his later years in isolation, consumed at times with conspiracy theories and peculiar vendettas. Luce himself wielded influence hitherto unknown among journalists. From to , he was University Provost. He's not heroic. Well written and fascinating account of Luce's early life and founding of Time magazine. Read more During the semester in which I took the course, we religiously read Time every week and had class discussions about the bias that was evident in many "news" stories essentially turning them into opinion pieces. Alan Brinkley details how he built his publishing empire starting with the creation of Time magazine In other words, is the description of Hadden based more on Brinkley being Luce's biographer, or was he really as bad as portrayed? His father was a Presbyterian missionary in China, a Yale-educated and enlightened man who saw his task as not merely converting the Chinese to his faith, but raising them to Western standards of education and prosperity so they would gravitate to Christianity on their own. Whatever else you think of Luce, he never dived down-market. From what Brinkley writes, Hadden sounded insufferable, and made Luce seem like a really nice guy in contrast. Community Reviews. Their commitment was the beginning of a wave of student interest that over the next two years attracted more than two thousand additional volunteers and that inspired the creation, late in , of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions.

Three months later, after the SVM persuaded James Linen, a Luce family friend in Scranton, to pledge one thousand dollars to support the young couple, Harry and Elisabeth sailed for China, having already conceived their first child. He went on to found Life and Sports Illustrated , as well as many other publications. His second marriage—to the glamorous playwright, politician, and diplomat Clare Boothe—was a shambles. As a member of the Yale class of , Harry Luce as he was known to his classmates at first followed a relatively conventional path. Enlarge cover. Luce published the first issue of Life, to which millions soon subscribed. He was a cold warrior, but progressive on social issues. Part of it was simply the magazine being part of the culture but it was also due to his fierce hatred of the Japanese because of their acts in China.

In other words, he returns to certain themes at various points throughout the book, but he generally does not make readers feel as though they are being heavy-handedly guided toward a particular overall viewpoint.

Alan Brinkley details how he built his publishing empire starting with the creation of Time magazine As a young man he displayed what was for his time a more or less ordinary Christian faith. Missing in that is what became of Luce's second wife Clare, whom Luce had such a contentious relationship with, and after Luce's divorce from his first wife, Lila, she is not heard from again either.

Roosevelt: Tonight, sitting at my desk in the White House, I make my first radio report to the people in my second term of office. I want to talk with you very simply tonight about the need for present action, the need to meet the unanswered challenge of one-third of a nation ill-nourished, ill-clad, ill-housed. The Courts, however, have cast doubts on the ability of the elected Congress to protect us against catastrophe by meeting squarely our modern social and economic conditions. In the last four years the sound rule of giving statutes the benefit of all reasonable doubt has been cast aside. The Court has been acting not as a judicial body, but as a policy-making body. We have, therefore, reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself. What is my proposal? It is simply this: whenever a Judge or Justice of any Federal Court has reached the age of seventy and does not avail himself of the opportunity to retire on a pension, a new member shall be appointed by the President then in office, with the approval, as required by the Constitution, of the Senate of the United States. This plan will save our national Constitution from hardening of the judicial arteries. Those opposing the plan have sought to arouse prejudice and fear by crying that I am seeking to "pack" the Supreme Court and that a baneful precedent will be established.

  • Brinkley New Deal
    Name: ______________________________________________ Purpose: the purpose of the reading and accompanying tasks is to think about the successes and failures of the New Deal. Directions: Complete the following tasks and answer the following questions in your composition books. Read the questions/tasks and then read the reading about the New Deal. 1. Describe the economic problems that FDR needed to address. 2. What programs did FDR implement during the “first hundred days”? 3. Explain three programs that helped address the problem of unemployment. 4. What is the “Second New Deal”? 5. Describe at least two reasons that the New Deal was a success. 6. Describe at least two reasons that the New Deal was a failure. The New Deal, Then and Now by Alan Brinkley Well before Barack Obama’s election, the New Deal was emerging as an instructive model for those trying to understand, and address, what is now known as the “worst financial crisis since the 1930s.” But is the New Deal in fact a useful model for our own troubled times? In some respects, the New Deal – and in particular its first hundred days – have important lessons for our time, lessons that President Obama seems already to have learned. Franklin Roosevelt’s first and most important contribution to solving the great economic crisis he inherited in 1933 was to exude confidence and optimism and to invite frightened Americans to put their trust in his energy and activism. In his Inaugural Address, Roosevelt promised “action, and action now,” and to a large degree he delivered on that promise. The frenzy of activity and innovation that marked those first months, a welcome contrast to the seeming paralysis of the discredited Hoover regime, helped accomplish the first, and perhaps most important, task he faced: ending the panic that was gripping the nation.

  • Franklin Roosevelt and Presidential Power
    Franklin Roosevelt and Presidential Power John Yoo* Along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt is considered by most scholars to be one of our nation's greatest presidents. FDR confronted challenges simultaneously that his predecessors had faced individually. Washington guided the nation's founding when doubts arose as to whether Americans could establish an effective government. FDR radically re-engineered the government into the modern administrative state when Americans doubted whether their government could provide them with economic security. Lincoln saved the country from the greatest threat to its national security, leading it through a war that cost more American lives than any other. FDR led a reluctant nation against perhaps its most dangerous foreign foe-an alliance of fascist powers that threatened to place Europe and Asia under totalitarian dictatorships. To bring the nation through both crises, FDR drew deeply upon the reservoir of executive power unlike any president before or since-reflected in his unique status as the only chief executive to break the two-term tradition. 1 * Emanuel S.

John F. Kennedy created a sensational moment as a Roman Catholic seeking the highest public office in the United States. Various groups resistant to any Catholic president organized to increase awareness of the separation of church and state. Faced with mounting opposition based on religion, John Kennedy and his campaign team created a group designed to face the challenges surrounding the issue. Dubbed Community Relations, the team handled every aspect of the religious issue for the Kennedy team. Ultimately winning the election, John Kennedy became the

    September 5, 2008 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House U.S. House of Representatives H-232 The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable John A. Boehner Republican Leader U.S. House of Representatives H-204 The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Republican Leader Boehner: Last year, the National Archives located a July 7, 1863 letter written by President Abraham Lincoln concerning the Civil War, which was described by the Archives as a “significant find.” The discovery of this short note, written over 150 years ago, occasioned extraordinary interest and excitement. Modern presidents have generated millions upon millions of documents that are critical to an understanding of our nation’s past. Yet unless Congress takes action to safeguard these materials, many of them may be lost to future generations. In 1978, Congress reacted to the Watergate scandal by enacting the Presidential Records Act. The PRA requires the president to “take all such steps as may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of his constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties are adequately documented and that such records are maintained as Presidential records.” Unfortunately, while the PRA requires the preservation of presidential records, it fails to provide an effective means of enforcing compliance with that requirement. The consequences of that failure have only recently become clear, with the revelation that millions of White House email messages generated between October 2003 and March 2005 are missing. Little to no effort has been made to recover the missing messages, and many, if not all, may now be permanently lost.

  • Post World War II-Brinkley
    After World War II by Alan Brinkley This reading is excerpted from Chapter 29 of Brinkley’s American History: A Survey. As always, most of these questions have multiple answers. Study Questions 1. Why didn’t the US sink back into the Great Depression once the war was over? 2. How did the end of the war affect American workers? 3. What was the goal of Harry Truman’s Fair Deal? 4. Why did most of the Fair Deal fail to pass the Congress? 5. What was in the Taft-Hartley Act, and why did labor unions—and President Truman—oppose it so vociferously? 6. What circumstances led to the creation of the short-lived Dixiecrat Party? 7. The smart money was betting that Harry Truman would lose the 1948 election. What conditions led to this assumption? 8. How did Truman manage to win the 1948 election, despite the odds? 9. How successful was Truman’s second term? Why? 10. Why did a second Red Scare begin after World War II? 11. Why was the Hiss case an important development in this Red Scare? 12. Why were Julius and Ethel Rosenberg executed? What effect did their case have on the beliefs of Americans? 13. Who is Joseph McCarthy, and why did he become enormously powerful in the early 1950s? 14. Why were Republicans so quick to rally around McCarthy? 15. What factors explain McCarthy’s fall from grace? AMERICAN SOCIETY AND POLITICS AFTER THE WAR The crises overseas were not the only frustrations the American people encountered after the war.
