Preliminary Round 10 NHBB Nationals Bowl 2018-2019 Bowl Round 10 Bowl Round 10 First Quarter (1) This case was originally filed against H.G. Cochrane who retired soon after.

In this case, Abe Fortas argued on the behalf of a defendant who had broken into a Florida pool hall. The public defender system was expanded as a result of, for ten points, what case that expanded the accused's right to an attorney to states. ANSWER: Gideon v. Wainwright (accept either underlined name) (2) Five of these structures were based on the island of Kneiphof [neep-hof], where Immanuel Kant is buried, but two of the five were destroyed during World War II bombing raids.

For ten points, identify this naval victory for the Holy League over the Ottomans in 1571. ANSWER: Battle of Lepanto (4) Peter Malkin's memoirs about this event inspired a 2018 film starring Ben Kingsley as this event's subject and also featuring Michael Aronov as Zvi Aharoni. During this event, a team led by Rafi Eitan raided a home on Garibaldi Street. This event, the subject of the film Operation Finale, resulted in agents of Mossad drugging a man for his flight out of Argentina in May 1960. For ten points, name this event that allowed a Nazi to be put on trial in Israel. ANSWER: Mossad/Israel's capture (or synonyms) of Adolf Eichmann (accept equivalents; prompt on partial answers; do not accept Eichmann's trial) (5) James Martin Eder revolutionized this industry at the \La Manuelita" hacienda with steam power.

ANSWER: sugarcane industry (prompt on \molasses" industry until mention) Page 1 NHBB Nationals Bowl 2018-2019 Bowl Round 10 (6) Followers of this man broke into the house of Rebecca Vaughan and killed while she prayed. After being found hiding among the Nottoway by Benjamin Phipps, this man asked \Was Christ not crucified?” The blueish-green appearance of the Sun, possibly caused by an eruption of Mount St. Helens, was interpreted by this man as a message from God to begin one event. Thomas Gray recorded the \confessions" of this man who may have ordered his followers to \kill all the white people." For ten points, name this slave who led an 1831 rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia. ANSWER: Nat Turner (7) During this conflict, one side's declaration that they were preparing the Samson Option prompted the United States to provide aid in Operation Nickel Grass. This conflict commenced with a surprise attack in Operation Badr on the Bar Lev Line. Henry Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy helped bring an end to this conflict, the failure to prevent which led Golda Meir to resign. For ten points, name this conflict in which Arab forces surprised Israel on the Day of Atonement. ANSWER: Yom Kippur War (8) This man's first term as prime minister ended after Daniel O'Connell allied with Lord Melbourne to block any law this man proposed.

For ten points, identify this British prime minister who founded the London Metropolitan Police Force. ANSWER: Robert Peel (9) Steve Bales accepted an award for his role in this mission for saying \Go" when he could have said \Stop" or \Wait."

Henry Billings Brown reasoned that the matters of \health, safety, and morals" belong to the state government in this majority decision for this case. The lone dissent in this case argued that \our constitution is color-blind." A violation of Louisiana's Separate Car Act prompted, for ten points, what case which created the doctrine of \separate but equal?" ANSWER: Plessy v. Ferguson BONUS: The lone dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson came from this Justice who, due to his penchant for performing such actions, was nicknamed \The Great Dissenter." ANSWER: John Marshall Harlan (2) One work builds on Joan Riviere's comment that a variant of this word is a \masquerade," claiming that this word is open to “resignification” because this word's definition is performative and the category this word implies is invalid. In another work, one author argues that this word is defined as a dialectic \Other" and quipped, \one is not born, but becomes" this word. For ten points, name this word at the center of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble and Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. ANSWER: \woman" BONUS: Gender Trouble also engages what thinker's History of Sexuality, which examines historical discourse to argue that sex is a social construct and subject to societal forms of power? ANSWER: Michel Foucault (3) Prior warning of this event was given by a chauffeur nicknamed Jean-Pierre.

THE MOSAIC MONTHLY ESSAY • EPISODE 2 June: The Truth of the Capture of Adolf Eichmann 1x 00:00|60:58 Sixty years ago last month, on the evening of May 23, 1960, the Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion made a brief but dramatic announcement to a hastily-summoned session of the Knesset in Jerusalem: A short time ago, Israeli security services found one of the greatest of the Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible, together with the Nazi leaders, for what they called “the final solution” of the Jewish question, that is, the extermination of six million of the Jews of Europe. Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity.

  • Nuclear Terrorism
    Transnational Institute March 2014 ON THE ISSUE OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM By Achin Vanaik* Four years ago in 2010, at the last nuclear summit of 47 countries in New York, President Barack Obama waxed eloquent on the extreme danger of fissile materials falling into the hands of groups like Al Qaeda which would then make and use a nuclear bomb. The then Prime Minister of India, Mr. Manmohan Singh among others who had attended dutifully applauded this view of the dangers of non-state nuclear terrorism seeking only to put his own spin on the matter by indirectly pointing the finger at Pakistan as a collaborating culprit in this respect. Given that the very nature of nuclear weapons discourse by nuclear weapons states (NWSs) is unavoidably hypocritical and dishonest, is it not time for a closer look at the apparently self-evident, and certainly self-serving (to NWSs) claim that one of the great dangers today and tomorrow -- if not the great danger -- is that of nuclear weapons being built or falling into the hands of ‘terrorist groups’? One of the purposes and effects of this self- serving talk of nuclear terrorism, and hence its popularity and frequency, is that it legitimizes and excuses the NWSs themselves. It does this in a number of ways. First, it dramatizes the wholly artificial ‘divide’ between so- called responsible nuclear powers and supposedly irresponsible nuclear agents, actual or potential. These irresponsible agents are of course selectively identified – among NWSs it is said to be Pakistan and North Korea; among possible aspirant states it is Iran and Iraq; among non-state aspirants it is supposed to be a range of Islamist groups.

  • Continuity and Change in Israel's Strategic Culture
    CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN ISRAEL’S STRATEGIC CULTURE Gregory F. Giles Prepared for: Defense Threat Reduction Agency Advanced Systems and Concepts Office Comparative Strategic Cultures Curriculum Contract No: DTRA01-03-D-0017, Technical Instruction 18-06-02 This report represents the views of its author, not necessarily those of SAIC, its sponsors, or any United States Government Agency Continuity and Change in Israel’s Strategic Culture Gregory Giles STRATEGIC CULTURE DEFINED For the purposes of this project, strategic culture is defined as: Shared beliefs, assumptions, and modes of behavior derived from common experiences and accepted narratives (both oral and written), that shape collective identity and relationships to other groups, and which determine appropriate ends and means for achieving security objectives. This definition is well-suited to consideration of the Israeli case. As explained below, Israel has cultivated—some would say imposed—a set of beliefs and assumptions on its citizenry as a means of simultaneously building and defending the fledgling Jewish state in the face of deep Islamic hostility. This belief system is rooted, in part, in such ancient texts as the Bible but is under considerable pressure from contemporary demographic, ideological, and religious changes in Israeli society. As a result, there is both continuity and change in what passes for “appropriate” ends and means of achieving security in Israeli terms. Indeed, the strategic culture framework could provide a useful tool for anticipating how the Jewish state might come to grips with its ongoing internal, as well as external, security challenges. STRATEGIC CULTURE PROFILE Summary Description Israel’s is a strategic culture in transition.

  • From Yahweh to Zion
    Advance Praise for FROM YAHWEH TO ZION There is no question of the extraordinary gifts and achievements of the Jewish people and of their enormous contribution to American culture and intellectual life. Also, we all know that Zionists play a large role in United States in the media, in finance, and in international policy. In addition we know that there is rather tight censorship with respect to what may be said about these matters without ad hominen response. The fact of Gentile crimes against Jews throughout history is used to justify this censorship, much, but not all, of which is self-imposed. In my view, through their role in this censorship, Jews are paving the way for the rise of anti-Jewish feeling and perhaps much worse. This book may be simply dismissed as anti-Jewish, but it would be far better to engage it in a scholarly, rather than an ad hominem, way. Instead of discouraging scholars from considering the evidence of Jewish crimes, I wish that Jewish scholars would support freedom of inquiry and explain their reasons for disagreeing in open discussion. Otherwise those of us who seek uncensored truth may be misled by errors and exaggerations in what is usually hidden from us and is presented only at the margins of our society. Much in this book is offensive to Christians and Muslims as well as to Jews. As a Christian, however, I find the offense to be a stimulus to fresh thinking and repentance. What is selected to be said about us is certainly not the inclusive truth.
