  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture
    OCULREV Fall 2012 Rostron 323-395 (Do Not Delete) 12/17/2012 10:59 AM OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VOLUME 37 FALL 2012 NUMBER 3 ARTICLES THE LAW AND ORDER THEME IN POLITICAL AND POPULAR CULTURE Allen Rostron I. INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

Even Nixon's enemies admitted that he faced the mobs courageously. 11111 There is at least one point about that much disputed figure, Richard Milhous Nixon, which no sensible person can now dispute.

Since 1836, when Martin Van Buren in- herited the crown from crusty old Andrew Jackson, no Vice President has been nomi- nated as his party's Presidential candidate. Yet already, two years in advance, Vice President Nixon has the 1960 Republican Presidential nomination sewed up in a nearly puncture- proof bag.

  • The Good Old Campaigns an Engaging Look at the 1948 Presidential Elections
    THE GOOD OLD CAMPAIGNS AN ENGAGING LOOK AT THE 1948 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS Chicago Tribune - Chicago, Ill. Author: Steven M Gillon Steven M Gillon is the author of "That's Not What We Meant to Do: Reform and Its Unintended Consequences in 20th Century America" Date: Aug 20, 2000 In our age of focus groups and instant polls, it is refreshing to be reminded that presidential campaigns can sometimes be unpredictable and electrifying. Historian Zachary Karabell does just that in this entertaining and thoughtful account of the most exciting presidential campaign in modern times, the 1948 contest that pitted underdog incumbent Harry Truman, the Democrat, against the overconfident Thomas Dewey, the Republican, and two minor-party candidates. What makes the 1948 election unique, Karabell tells us, is not just its surprising outcome but the range of opinions articulated by the contenders. On the left, running on the Progressive Party ticket, was former Vice President Henry Wallace, who combined a populist appeal and deeply religious beliefs in his lonely crusade for internationalism and pacifism. "He believed he was called to lead a noble crusade in the path of righteousness," Karabell writes. Unfortunately for Wallace, the hardening Cold War consensus and growing fears of communist subversion left him vulnerable to charges of being soft on communism. Ironically, the most strident voices came not from the right but from fellow liberals in an operation organized by the White House and spearheaded by the Americans for Democratic Action. Karabell is evenhanded in his treatment of the often-elusive Wallace. While defending Wallace against the vicious Redbaiting of his opponents, Karabell acknowledges that his refusal to disavow the Communist Party overshadowed his farsighted and often courageous support for civil and economic rights.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

  • Annual Report of the Town of Raymond, New Hampshire
    The Raymond Community Stewardship Committee Caretakers & Facilitators Of The Vision For The Future Established in July, 1992 by the Board of Selectmen as a permanent advisory committee of the Town of Raymond, our fifteen-member group of volunteers accepted a formidable challenge with enthusiasm. We are made up of eleven members at-large, plus one representative each from the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Board, the Conservation Commission, and the Raymond Industrial Development Corporation. As charged by the Selectmen, we are "to provide an orderly forum to discuss and consider matters that affect the town's public image, historic heritage, community spirit and public facilities planning." In addition, we are "to identify ways the town can leverage its assets to attract desirable business and industry in order to broaden its tax base." Formation of the committee grew out of Raymond's participation in the 1991 Governor's Commission on the 21st Century. Raymond was one of two communities chosen by the Office of State Planning to help the Commission develop a process and set of planning tools that could be used by communities state-wide, and that would enable them to direct the location, character and timing of their future development in order to 1.) conserve important natural resources, 2.) promote economic growth, and 3.) maintain the "rural" atmosphere that makes New Hampshire living so desirable. In January of '92 a series of intensely productive meetings took place between Raymond citizens and a Task Force of State Planning Officials and private-sector volunteers with expertise in banking, real estate, architecture, landscaping, conservation, the environment and historic preservation.
