The Foreign Service Journal, June 1962 A In This Issue The Modernization Process and Insurgency, by Henry C. Ramsey JUNE 7962 Since men began living together in organized societies, leaders have recognized a potent factor governing any action they may be about to undertake. The Romans called it vox populi. We still use the classic Latin phrase when referring to "the expressed opinion of the people" For many years, in over 100 countries, the people have been expressing their opinion of Seagram’s V.O. Canadian Whisky, with its true lightness of tone and its rare brilliance of taste. It is an enthusiastically positive opinion with a measureable effect: throughout the world more people buy A CANADIAN ACHIEVEMENT HONOURED THE WORLD OVER The Foreign Service Journal is the professional journal of the American For¬ FORSTGF^^^|JOURNAL eign Service and is published by the American Foreign Service Association, a non¬ profit private organization.

Up until the 1840’s the magnificent natural THE ASSOCIATION takes the greatest pleasure in announcing harbor, now called the Old Port, was the only safe haven for large vessels, the receipt of an additional $25,000 in endowment funds and in fact it was that harbor that made the fortune of the antique city for scholarships as the result of an ingenious offer made to us called by the Romans, the Greeks and the Phoenicians who used it, by the Honorable William Benton, former Assistant Secretary Massalia.

Mr. Benton once again provided evidence of his continuing interest in our scholarship activities by PHOTOS AND ART FOR JUNE tempting the Association to meet a formidable challenge: he Paul Child, FSR-retired, photos, cover and page 20 informed us that he would donate $5,000 to the scholarship fund if we could find two other donors willing to subscribe a Earl Wilson, USIA, painting, page 2 similar amount.

Mr. Benton, it should be further noted, was thoughtful and interested enough to put forward two challenges. His second one—an offer to put up another $5,000 if we could raise a similar amount over and above the Association’s nor¬ mal fund-raising activities—was intended to stimulate inter¬ est on the part of those who stand to benefit most from this offer. Mr. Boswell’s special letter of last month to all Associa¬ tion members has brought a warm response on which a more detailed report will be made later. Particularly noteworthy is the response from retired officers. To meet Mr. Benton’s sec¬ ond offer, however, we do need a wide response from the field and it would be a favorable omen indeed if we could come up to the standard set by the colleagues mentioned above who helped us to meet one of Mr. Benton’s generous Ilong Kong Eari i. wuson j offers twice over. 2 FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL, June 1962 Tlie abandoned Ii^litliouse on Black- stone’s Island, near tke moutli of tke river.

    Annual Report 2018–19 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 6 Season Repertory and Events 14 Artist Roster 16 The Financial Results 20 Our Patrons On the cover: Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes a bow after his first official performance as Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director PHOTO: JONATHAN TICHLER / MET OPERA 2 Introduction The 2018–19 season was a historic one for the Metropolitan Opera. Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.

Silver Spring 2004 Not Brick by Brick: Development of Interior Landmark Designation Policies in Washington, D.C. I: INTRODUCTION The Supreme Court’s 1978 decision in Penn Central Transportation Co. v. City of New York firmly established that state and local governments may enact land use regulations that further the concerns of historic preservation.1 The Court declared that the protection of the “cultural, historical, aesthetic, and architectural assets is an aspect of the public welfare” that the states are empowered to protect pursuant to the police power.2 But Penn Central only confirmed the validity of New York City’s Preservation Law as applied to proposed exterior alteration since the interior was not at issue in the case. Thus, even though the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 treats building interiors equally with exteriors,3 states have been slow to articulate standards and criteria for the evaluation of interior designations. Interior landmarking seeks the preservation of significant spaces without impinging upon the adaptive use of private property, a balance with political overtones that has perhaps made states wary. However, arguments for measured interior designation are compelling.
