It is headquarters for aircrew training activity and the 3510th Com- bat Crew Training Wing. Famous in recent years as the training center of thousands of air heroes, the Randolph base now assembles specialized B-29 aircrewmen into combat-ready teams. There are now forty trailer spaces at the base, and plans are under way for another park to provide sixty more. Trailerists on base are near work, medi- cal service, commissary, PX, laundry, movies and service clubs. The rent is only nine dollars per month. "WE'RE HAPPIER IN OUR TRAILER COACH," say Lt. and Mrs. Winfred W. Lackey, "than we ever were in other housing. We like having our own home and furnish- ings wherever we go. Moving is easy. We've pulled our mobile home 3,000 miles around the country. It has kept us comfortable in all climates, including 25° below in Wyoming".

Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Shortly after he won three gold medals and one silver medal in distance running events at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Finland's Hannes Kolehmainen immigrated to the United States. He spent nearly a decade living in Brooklyn, plying his trade as a mason and dominating the amateur endurance running circuit in his adopted homeland. He became a naturalised US citizen in 1921 but returned to Finland shortly thereafter. During his American sojourn, the US press depicted him simultaneously as an exotic foreign athlete and as an immigrant shaped by his new environment into a symbol of successful assimilation. Kolehmainen's career raised questions about sport and national identity – both Finnish and American – about the complexities of immigration during the floodtide of European migration to the US, and about native and adopted cultures in shaping the habits of success.

  • The Wilsonian Open Door and Truman's China-Taiwan Policy
    Dean P. Chen American Association for Chinese Studies Annual Conference October 12-14, 2012 Origins of the Strategic Ambiguity Policy: The Wilsonian Open Door and Truman’s China-Taiwan Policy 1 The Problem of the Taiwan Strait Conflict The Taiwan Strait is probably one of the “most dangerous” flashpoints in world politics today because the Taiwan issue could realistically trigger an all-out war between two nuclear-armed great powers, the United States and People’s Republic of China (PRC). 2 Since 1949, cross-strait tensions, rooted in the Chinese civil war between Chiang Kai- shek’s Nationalist Party (KMT) and Mao Zedong’s Communist Party (CCP), have been contentious and, at times, highly militarized. As analyzed by many scholars, the Taiwan Strait crises in 1954, 1958, 1995-96, and 2003-06 brought the PRC, Taiwan, and the United States closely to the brink of war. 3 In each of these episodes, however, rational restraint prevailed due to America’s superior power influence to prevent both sides from upsetting the tenuous cross-strait status quo. Indeed, having an abiding interest in a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan Strait conflict, Washington has always assumed a pivotal role in deterring both Taipei and Beijing from aggressions and reckless behaviors. U.S. leaders seek to do this through the maintenance of a delicate balance: acknowledging the one-China principle, preserving the necessary ties to defend Taiwan’s freedom and security while insisting that all resolutions must be peaceful and consensual. 4 The Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan administrations formalized these commitments in the three U.S.-China 1 This paper is an abridged and modified version of the author’s recent book: Dean P.

  • The Rearguard of Freedom: the John Birch Society and the Development
    The Rearguard of Freedom: The John Birch Society and the Development of Modern Conservatism in the United States, 1958-1968 by Bart Verhoeven, MA (English, American Studies), BA (English and Italian Languages) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts July 2015 Abstract This thesis aims to investigate the role of the anti-communist John Birch Society within the greater American conservative field. More specifically, it focuses on the period from the Society's inception in 1958 to the beginning of its relative decline in significance, which can be situated after the first election of Richard M. Nixon as president in 1968. The main focus of the thesis lies on challenging more traditional classifications of the JBS as an extremist outcast divorced from the American political mainstream, and argues that through their innovative organizational methods, national presence, and capacity to link up a variety of domestic and international affairs to an overarching conspiratorial narrative, the Birchers were able to tap into a new and powerful force of largely white suburban conservatives and contribute significantly to the growth and development of the post-war New Right. For this purpose, the research interrogates the established scholarship and draws upon key primary source material, including official publications, internal communications and the private correspondence of founder and chairman Robert Welch as well as other prominent members. Acknowledgments The process of writing a PhD dissertation seems none too dissimilar from a loving marriage.
