I have the plaque here on my dining room table with the winner’s name on it. The 8 Ball is awarded not by the Trustees, but by the votes of the 8-Ball Committee, which is composed of the previous winners of this distinguished Award. The votes are based on each Committee Member’s opinion as to who among the present members of our Club who have not previously won the award, deserves special recognition for services rendered int eh community (local, state, national, international) or who has performed services of great benefit to our Club. The identity of the winner is kept secret util the award is presented at the ANNUAL 8-BALL LUNCHEON. Of course, this year via Zoom. Our new winner was born locally in this area in 1948. He went to Red Bank High School not Red Bank Regional. I guess from what I hear. I can't document this, but he was a quite a person in high school - lots of achievements, lots of honors and whatnot, but I couldn't find one. When he went from high school to college he went to Wharton’s School of Economics. In 1970, he graduated. Three years later he graduated from Rutgers School of Law in 1973. He was admitted to both the New Jersey Bar and the New Jersey District of the Federal District Court in the same year. In ‘74 to ‘77 he served as a lieutenant in the Navy Reserve as a member of the Judge Advocate General Corps. (cont.) Root Beer Float October 2020 page 5 The 2020 8-Ball Award - Al Zager (cont.) He became a named member of his law firm in 2005. He also served as a director of Foodarama Supermarkets from 1995 till 2006 when it went private. He was the past president of the Board of Directors of the Center for Holocaust Human rights and Genocide Education at Brookdale community college and he was a founding director of EMACC Educational Foundation. He's the past president of the Congregation of B’nai Israel in Rumson. Our newest winner is an avid sailor and as a member of the Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club. In 1988, the club held an annual danger days festival with a great number of contests one special event was a costume parade. Our winner won that dressed in a bridal gown. Not sure we didn't make a mistake here. This should be in the Float, maybe we can get a picture. Soon after this win his son was to be married in Florida. The groom was the guest of honor at a bachelor party and late in the evening was shocked to see his fiancée approaching him at the party in her wedding gown. Shortly his son realized it was not his bride but his father once again in the bridal gown.. Unless you have not guessed it, our new member is Al Zager. Well, maybe we can get him to bring his bridal down to one of the lunches. “ Al Zager: “Thank you, thank you very, very much. I truly am shocked and surprised. I'm a relatively new member and I have such high regard for everybody in the club, and for the club itself. This is truly an honor that I didn't think I deserved yet, and I appreciate, to the end of the earth, being given this great honor, thank you.” Root Beer Float October 2020 page 6 An Outing in Allaire - Jim Powers, the Tices, and Mike Lanza On Friday, 9/11, your stir crazy editors and Mike Lanza ventured to Allaire for an outdoor lunch and to take some photos.

Photos by BT/LT and Mike Lanza Root Beer Float October 2020 page 9 Sailing to Maine with Al and Robin Zager - Part 4 September 5th - We have been in 5 different harbors this week, all in Massachusetts. Motoring under rainy, gray skies from Manchester by the Sea to Marblehead last Saturday, I started to hear the darn rattling sound even though I had tightened the screw for the zinc the night before. On arrival in Marblehead, the Boston Yacht Club launch driver helped us find the mooring loaned by the gentleman we'd met the week before who said we were welcome to use it since he was cruising , saying, "Tell him you are Bill M's good friend." We hunkered down for the remnants of the storm and watched a movie on our computer, but not before calling several marine supply stores in town to see if they had the correct size zinc for our propeller. West Marine had one and the store manager put it aside for us. Early Sunday morning we took our dinghy to the town dock and enjoyed a delightful stroll through the neighborhood where, it seemed, all of the buildings were constructed in the 1800's for bricklayers, shipwrights, Captains, etc. They are all beautifully maintained and repurposed for modern uses. We got to the West Marine store just before the 9:00 am opening and, as promised, the zinc was waiting for us. We probably had the best sail of the summer from Marblehead to Hull Harbor on Sunday. The rain was gone, but the wind was blowing steady at 15-20 knots, with gusts to 30 knots. We reefed the mainsail, unfurled the mizzen (small jib) and enjoyed the north to south passage with the Boston skyline on our starboard side.

Wong All rights reserved. Professor Michael Szonyi John D. Wong Global Positioning: Houqua and his China Trade Partners in the Nineteenth Century Abstract This study unearths the lost world of early-nineteenth-century Canton. Known today as Guangzhou, this Chinese city witnessed the economic dynamism of global commerce until the demise of the Canton System in 1842. Records of its commercial vitality and global interactions faded only because we have allowed our image of old Canton to be clouded by China’s weakness beginning in the mid-1800s. By reviving this story of economic vibrancy, I restore the historical contingency at the juncture at which global commercial equilibrium unraveled with the collapse of the Canton system, and reshape our understanding of China’s subsequent economic experience. I explore this story of the China trade that helped shape the modern world through the lens of a single prominent merchant house and its leading figure, Wu Bingjian, known to the West by his trading name of Houqua.

  • Favorability – USA 2000
    Catching the Big Wave: Public Opinion Polls and Bandwagons in US and Canadian Elections Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Delton T. Daigle, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Herbert Weisberg, Advisor Professor Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier Professor Paul Allen Beck Professor Randall B. Ripley i Copyright by Delton T. Daigle 2010 i Abstract For as long as public opinions have generally thought to be known there have been claims made that knowledge of where people stand can impact both the attitudes and behaviors of others. Previous research has had mixed results in identifying and measuring the effects of ―bandwagons‖. This research uses better data and derives tests from contemporary theories of public opinion to show that not only do bandwagons definitively exist, but also that they exist most often among the groups of people we would expect to be influenced by ambient information: those adequately prepared to receive a message but not so sophisticated as to not be influenced by it. This research examines and finds bandwagon effects in four elections total in two different countries (Canada in 2004 and 2006 and the United States in 2000 and 2004) and as such, contributes to the larger scientific endeavor of generalization through comparison. ii Dedication For my patient and loving wife Carolina iii Acknowledgements It only seems natural to begin acknowledgements with recognizing my advisor Herb Weisberg and my committee Jan Box-Steffensmeier, Randall Ripley and Paul Beck, whose patience with how long it took me to defend this project cannot be appreciated more.

  • Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early
    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • This Isn't Your Father's Anti-War Movement: Comparing the Political Mobilization of Vietnam and Iraq Veterans
    This Isn’t Your Father’s Anti-War Movement: Comparing the Political Mobilization of Vietnam and Iraq Veterans Darrell Driver & Jean Callaghan Abstract The mobilization of veterans can be a powerful force for any political cause, especially when that cause is concerned with ending a war. Vietnam veterans’ voices were a prominent feature of the Vietnam antiwar movement, and, by 2007, antiwar Iraq veterans’ groups were playing an important role in the public debate on the merits of continued U.S. military involvement in Iraq. By comparison, however, these two episodes of veteran antiwar mobilization looked very different. Changes in the social, technological, and political environment held important implications for the efficacy of veteran political mobilization. This paper examines those changes and the way in which select veterans organizations adapted to them. While a traditional antiwar movement did emerge to trade in more conventional protest activities, veterans’ opposition to the Iraq War also signaled the beginning of a political action committee-based approach to veterans’ politics that is likely to remain for the foreseeable future. Keywords: Political science, veterans, Vietnam, Iraq, civilian-military relations, social movements Introduction On April 22 1971, the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations heard a striking indictment of the ongoing war in Vietnam. It was a powerful, full-throated condemnation of the war, its basic rationale, its conduct, and the U.S. government’s treatment of the American service members who had waged it for almost a decade. Just as important as the message, however, was the credentials of the messenger. John Forbes Kerry was not the typical peace activist.
