All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy by WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

  • From Rome to Home
    By STEVE KNOLL Joseph T. Dembo, a 22-year CBS veteran who most recently served as news director and exec editor of radio network news, last week was named vice president of CBS News in charge of radio. Dembo replaces Emerson Stone, who held the position for 15 years before his recent ap- pointment as v.p., news practices (serving as the division's "ombudsman."). When Stone took over CBS Radio News in 1967, the man he succeeded was Dembo, who moved across town to Black Rock to turn then-ailing flagship WCBS-AM into an all-news station. As WCBS veep-general manager, he became the first newsman ever handed the reins of a network radio or tv O&O though once the -precedent was set, others followed. In an address before the Radio Television News Directors Assn. last year, Dembo reflected on how the exec experience changes a newsman's perspective. Station management, he advised his fellow n.d.'s, "will extend your professional horizons ... And should you currently harbor a disdain for sales, and the misapprehension that it's easy to make a buck selling air time, it will haul you into the real world of commercial broadcasting." When Dembo put together the WCBS exec team, he tapped Ed Joyce now CBS News exec vice president - as his first news director. But instead of selecting a new sales manager, he kept the one he inherited: Bob Hosking, today the president of CBS Radio. While setting the station on its highly profitable all-news course, Dembo made some mistakes.

  • Approaching and Stalking Public Figures—A Prerequisite to Attack
    Commentary: Approaching and Stalking Public Figures—A Prerequisite to Attack Park Dietz, MD, MPH, PhD, and Daniel A. Martell, PhD The concept of studying approaches to public figures (i.e., physical pursuit or stalking) arose as a proxy measure to aid in the development of tools to prevent assassination, a low base rate event. In this commentary, we review the origins of this concept and the historical record of public figure attacks in the United States that formed the empirical basis of the concept, we describe case examples of approaches toward public figures in the United States that did not result in injurious attacks, and we provide a synopsis of our findings on the ways in which communications predict approach.

  • Television Newscasters and News: the Perception and Selection of Local Newscasters and Stations
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph, and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
