Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • March 11, 2005 the Honorable Linda Lingle Governor of Hawaii State
    March 11, 2005 The Honorable Linda Lingle Governor of Hawaii State Capitol Executive Chambers Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Dear Governor Lingle: On behalf of the more than 1,700 members of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) in Hawaii, I urge you to veto the Legislature’s proposal to allow local governments to raise taxes to pay for a costly light rail system. HB 1309 would permit the excise tax rate on goods and services to rise from 4 percent to 5 percent (a 25 percent increase). Honolulu is expected to quickly raise taxes to pay for light rail while other jurisdictions may raise taxes to build projects of their own. Allowing local governments to raise taxes or to create new ones is not “home rule.” It is an economically devastating tax increase! Raising taxes for transit is bad news for the state’s economy. Residents already face the fourth highest state and local government tax burden in the nation and this burden will only grow heavier if the state excise tax is raised to fund light rail. Perhaps even more harmful than the immediate impact of higher taxes is that by saddling taxpayers with the costs of constructing and maintaining a new government transportation boondoggle, the Legislature is setting taxpayers up for worse taxes even into the future. Worse than light rail’s poor prospect for public use is the fact that public provision of this service will require massive subsidies. For example, fare revenue covers only 28.2 percent of operating costs in St. Louis, 19.4 percent of costs in Baltimore, and 21.4 percent of costs in Buffalo.

  • The Brain of the Most Beautiful Girl in the World by Corey Hoard
    The Brain of the Most Beautiful Girl in the World by Corey Hoard “My face has been my misfortune… a mask I cannot remove: I must live with it. I curse it.” – Hedwig Kiesler, qtd. in Shearer 112 Hedwig Kiesler was a woman of dimensionality, of many names and surprising talents. She thrived on fantasy and fame but took solace in independence of mind. From the moment of her arrival in America, she was heralded as “the most beautiful girl in the world.” Even today, Kiesler is, for many, a symbol of the Golden Era of cinema. Over her lifetime, she had seven high-profile husbands, and to the public, lived a lavish life of wealth and success. However, from a young age, Kiesler’s beauty would reveal itself as both an asset and a curse, as she embraced and battled with it by turns throughout her life. Her face would prove both her prison and her liberator. Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler was born on November 9th, 1914 in Vienna, Austria, the only child of a humble Jewish family. Despite their social status, her parents tried to raise Kiesler in relative privilege, exposing her to culture early in life. Her beauty was apparent from a young age, and Kiesler’s parents were careful to avoid flattering her to promote modesty. Despite their efforts, she became accustomed to using her appearance to get what she wanted by, as Shearer puts it, “becoming a chameleon, willing to change herself to please others” (283). Hedwig—or “Hedy,” as she was affectionately known—was strongly independent from a young age, prompting her parents to impose strict rules that would inevitably be broken.

  • STEALTH DONORS Outside Groups Spent More Than $1 Billion Trying to Influence the 2012 Elections. Nearly Two- Thirds of That
    STEALTH DONORS Outside groups spent more than $1 billion trying to influence the 2012 elections. Nearly two- thirds of that money flowed through super PACs – groups able to raise unlimited contributions. Super PACs got a lot of attention this year, but despite that, some seven-figure donors managed to avoid the spotlight. Now, new research by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sheds light on a dozen super PAC donors who gave at least $1 million, but whose efforts to sway votes drew little attention. The bipartisan list of big-money donors includes the family behind a popcorn empire, a businessman whose mining companies have been cited for a long list of environmental problems, an advertising industry leader, and a real estate developer who leases space to government agencies. All had policy or business interests depending on the outcome of the elections. The Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision unleashed an onslaught of outside spending, though in many cases this year, it wasn’t enough to sweep preferred candidates into office. Nonetheless, super PAC donors with millions of dollars at their disposal and a demonstrated willingness to spend their money on politics are likely to get special attention from lawmakers. The only question remaining is, what sort of return are these donors expecting on their investments? Philip Geier, Jr., consultant and former advertising executive. From: New York, NY Total Super PAC Donations: $1.35 million American Crossroads (R): $1 million Restore Our Future, Inc. (R): $350,000 Total Other Political Donations: $207,800 Republicans: $53,400 o Presidential candidate Mitt Romney: $2,500 o Rep.
