    1 HUMAN RIGHTS UNDER VIETNAMESE COMMUNISM A Politically Incorrect Approach Ottawa, February 2001 For Human Rights (Huntington Beach, C.A.) March 2001 Ton That Thien American anti-war writers and Vietnam For decades, the literature on Vietnam was strongly dominated by a coterie of Western - predominantly American – journalists and academics who claimed to be experts on Vietnam. These “experts” were fiercely anti-war revolutionaries determined to bring down South Vietnam for internal American reasons. South Vietnam provided the most convenient focus for the anti-war denunciations and demonstrations. As David Horowitz, one of the most radical leaders of the American anti-war movement wrote in his reflections after the war: “My speech illustrated the real importance of Vietnam to the radical cause, which was not ultimately about Vietnam but about our antagonism to America in our desire for revolution. Vietnam served to justify the desire; we needed the war and its violent images to vindicate our destructive intentions”.1 Typical of the above attitude is the “Indo-China Peace Campaign” organized by the famed actress Jane Fonda, which “worked tirelessly to ensure the victory of the North Vietnamese Communists...Fonda travelled first to Hanoi and then to the liberated zones of South Vietnam to make a propaganda film... it attempted to persuade viewers that the Communists were going to create a new society in the south. Equality and justice awaited its inhabitants if only America would cut off support for the Saigon regime...”2 Another illustration is that of Frances Fitzgerald, author of the best seller and Pulitzer Prize winning book, Fire in the Lake.

THE LEGACY OF AMERICAN PHOTOJOURNALISM IN KEN BURNS’S VIETNAM WAR DOCUMENTARY SERIES Camille Rouquet LARCA/Paris Sciences et Lettres In his review of The Vietnam War, the 18-hour-long documentary series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick released in September 2017, New York Times television critic James Poniewozik wrote: “The Vietnam War” is not Mr. Burns’s most innovative film. Since the war was waged in the TV era, the filmmakers rely less exclusively on the trademark “Ken Burns effect” pans over still images. Since Vietnam was the “living-room war,” played out on the nightly news, this documentary doesn’t show us the fighting with new eyes, the way “The War” did with its unearthed archival World War II footage.

    Sen. Levin Secure Against Any Republican in 2014

Levin secure against any Republican in 2014 Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's latest Michigan poll finds Democratic Senator Carl Levin sitting pretty with a net +11 point approval rating 46/35. While that number is very solid; Junior Senator Debbie Stabenow has even higher approval: 55/36. Relatively prominent Republicans in the State had poor name recognition among voters. U.S. Reps Justin Amash and Mike Rogers were seen as more unfavorable than favorable, 11/17 and 17/18 respectively. In both cases, over 65% of respondents had no opinion either way, which suggests familiarity is the issue, not necessarily favorability. Rep Candice Miller was the only Republican polled to receive a net positive favorability 34/23. Only 15% of voters knew State Sen. Roger Kahn well enough to have an opinion about him. State Attorney General Bill Schuette has a slight disapproval of 18/22, with 60% not sure. In hypothetical head-to-heads for the 2014 Senate seat, Carl Levin dominated against any potential Republican opponent. Poor name recognition is a clear factor: Candice Miller had the highest name recognition of all the Republicans polled; and she fared the best against Levin, 52/34. Amash performed second-best, 53/32. Kahn and Schuette each trail Levin by 22 points, 53/31 and 54/32 respectively. Rogers performed the worst-55/31. Michigan voters approve of the job President Obama is doing 53/44.
