    John J. Marchi Papers PM-1 Volume: 65 linear feet • Biographical Note • Chronology • Scope and Content • Series Descriptions • Box & Folder List Biographical Note John J. Marchi, the son of Louis and Alina Marchi, was born on May 20, 1921, in Staten Island, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with first honors in 1942, later receiving a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law and Doctor of Judicial Science from Brooklyn Law School in 1953. He engaged in the general practice of law with offices on Staten Island and has lectured extensively to Italian jurists at the request of the State Department. Marchi served in the Coast Guard and Navy during World War II and was on combat duty in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Marchi also served as a Commander in the Active Reserve after the war, retiring from the service in 1982. John J. Marchi was first elected to the New York State Senate in the 1956 General Election. As a Senator, he quickly rose to influential Senate positions through the chairmanship of many standing and joint committees, including Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on the City of New York. In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

  • Greek Perceptions of the 'Good Italian' and 'Bad German' from Invasion
    Greek perceptions of the ‘good Italian’ and ‘bad German’ from invasion (1940) to the London Agreement (1953) Jason Leech I have started now, every time I go to Athens, to pester my fellow commuters on the proverbial Athens omnibus with a questionnaire which asks about their memory of the Second World War and their attitude towards the various participant nations. It is too early for any statistics but the voice of Greek collective memory recalls a narrative which goes something like this: „When the Fascists came upon us in 1940 with the armed forces of a nation six times our size, we defeated them roundly...Then the Nazis came to the aid of their partners. We had not the material strength to withstand their overwhelming mechanized might. They overran our land, and four terrible years of occupation caused the death by starvation of nearly 11% of our population, spread misery and disease, destroyed our industries, agriculture and communications, and left the country in ruins‟.1 This carefully-worded extract is not, of course, from an elderly gentleman I accosted but from a speech King Paul of Greece made in a tour of the United States in December 1953. This was the official narrative as Greece concluded the transition from „hot‟ war to Cold War. It was worded to forget the national identities of Greece‟s enemies and thus it formed the bridge between the narratives of preceding administrations and those of today‟s parliamentarians. One gets the impression from the extract that the „Fascists‟ were left defeated in Albania and never made it into Greece.

  • HISTORY of the BALKANS – Ch
    HISTORY OF THE BALKANS – Ch. 8 The immediate postwar readjustments: the Greek civil war and the Yugoslav-Soviet conflict Iz poglavja sem povzela predvsem grško državljansko vojno ter odnos med Albanijo in Jugoslavijo po sporu Jugoslavije z Informbirojem. Preostali (izpuščeni) del poglavja se nanaša na splošne dogodke po 2 S.V. ter zgodovino Jugoslavije. Grška državljanska vojna 1946-1949 Medtem ko sta se v Bolgariji in Romuniji po 2 S.V. oblikovala režima, ki sta bila pod sovjetskim nadzorom, v Albaniji in Jugoslavijo pa sta bili vzpostavljeni komunistični vladi, je Grčija sledila drugi poti. Po vojni je Grčija dobila od Italije Dodokaneze. Že decembra 1944 je britanska vlada sprejela ukrepe s katerimi je želela ohraniti svoj vpliv v Atenah. Britanski strokovnjaki so diktirali ekonomsko, zunanjo, obrambno, zaposlovalno in finančno politiko. Njihovo politiko so kritizirale predvsem ZDA, ki so sicer ostale zunaj dogajanj, vendar pa so posredno preko ZN in UNRRA programa prispevale veliko sredstev namenjenih Grčiji, ki so v državi preprečila stradanje. Na nasprotnih straneh sta si stali komunistična gverila (podpora Jugoslavija in Bolgarija) in rojalisti (podpora VB). Prvo politično vprašanje, ki se pojavi je vrnitev monarhije. Zahodne države se odločijo, da bodo izpeljale plebiscit in volitve. KKE (grška komunistična stranka) je zaradi težav v izvedbi kampanje v hribovitem svetu prosila za preložitev, kar pa so zavrnili. V odgovor se v KKE niso udeležili volitev, kar je bila dolgoročno gledano slaba odločitev, ker se naslednja 4 leta niso imeli predstavnikov v parlamentu.
