  • Islam - Washington's New Dilemma :: Middle East Quarterly
    Islam - Washington's New Dilemma :: Middle East Quarterly http://www.meforum.org/289/islam-washingtons-new-dilemma Islam - Washington's New Dilemma by Benjamin Gordon Middle East Quarterly March 1996, pp. 43-52 http://www.meforum.org/289/islam-washingtons-new-dilemma Benjamin Gordon is a consultant at Corporate Decisions, Inc., Boston, and a recent graduate of Yale College. Does the U.S. government have a coherent policy toward fundamentalist Islam? Fundamentalists themselves are convinced not only that Washington has a policy but that it is a consistent and aggressive one. Iran's former ambassador to the United Nations, Said Raja'i Khourasani, asserts that the American position "has not changed" over the years: "The language is always the same -- it is threatened or it is threatening."1 On the other side, scholars and diplomats tend to see incoherence in policy toward fundamentalists as they do about foreign policy in general. Richard Haass speaks for many when he holds that "public statements by administration officials about the purposes of U.S. foreign policy have been inconsistent or simply ambiguous.2 In fact, neither side is entirely correct. While there has been a coherent policy, it has changed over time. Since 1979, when Iranian fundamentalist Muslims overthrew Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Washington has undergone a series of subtle shifts in its policy toward fundamentalist Islam. From Presidents Reagan to Bush to Clinton, the U.S. government has migrated from rhetorical confrontation to timid outreach to outright accommodation. The following analysis focuses on official U.S.

To better acquaint you and your students with the content of the exhibitions, ICP provides Guided Tours and Self-Guided Tours.

Tours are conducted in an inquiry-based discussion format, encouraging students to discover visual information and realize multiple interpretations and meanings. In an effort to provide you with the most comprehensive museum-based learning experience, we create pre-visit activities designed as a starting point from which you and your students can view and discuss our exhibitions, and post-visit activities designed to transfer their museum experience to classroom learning and projects. While these materials provide a framework for exploring the themes presented in the exhibitions, we encourage you to modify them to the needs of your students. This packet contains activities designed for Roman Vishniac Rediscovered.

It seems fitting that I would develop a dissertation topic on suntanning in sunny Santa Barbara, where students literally live at the beach. While at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), I have had the fortunate experience of learning from and working with several remarkable individuals. First and foremost, my advisor Bruce Robertson has been a model for successfully pursuing both academic and curatorial endeavors, and his encyclopedic knowledge has always steered me in the right direction. Laurie Monahan, whose thoughtful persistence attracted me to UCSB and whose passion for art history and teaching students has been inspiring.

    Volume 16 | Number 1 Fall/Winter 2018 Georgian Court University Magazine President’s Annual Report & Honor Roll of Donors 2017–2018 Georgian Court–Hackensack Meridian Health School of Nursing Celebrates 10 Years From the President Dear Alumni, Donors, Students, and Friends: Happy New Year! The holiday season is behind us, but the activities and accolades of 2018 still give us to plenty to celebrate. That is why this edition of GCU Magazine is packed with examples of good news worth sharing—with you and with those you know. First, the Georgian Court–Hackensack Meridian Health School of Nursing is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. Our first decade has produced successful health care professionals serving patients from coast to coast, and the program is among the fastest growing at GCU. In this issue of the magazine, I’d like you to meet two unforgettable alumni. Florence “Riccie” Riccobono Johnson ’45 (pp. 28–29) has worked at CBS for more than six decades and reflects on her time at 60 Minutes, where she’s been employed since 1968. Gemma Brennan ’84, ’93 (pp. 6–9), a longtime teacher, principal, and part-time GCU professor, is sharing her passion in unique ways. Likewise, our newest honorary degree recipient, His Royal Highness The Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, shared his passion for court tennis during a September visit to GCU (p. 13). Georgian Court was at its absolute finest as the prince met students, faculty, staff, and coaches, and played several matches in the Casino. A few weeks later, I was proud to see alumni join in the fun of Reunion and Homecoming Weekend 2018 (p.
