  • Taking the Pulse of the Class of 1971 at Our 45Th Reunion Forty-Fifth. A
    Taking the pulse of the Class of 1971 at our 45th Reunion Forty-fifth. A propitious number, or so says Affinity Numerology, a website devoted to the mystical meaning and symbolism of numbers. Here’s what it says about 45: 45 contains reliability, patience, focus on building a foundation for the future, and wit. 45 is worldly and sophisticated. It has a philanthropic focus on humankind. It is generous and benevolent and has a deep concern for humanity. Along that line, 45 supports charities dedicated to the benefit of humankind. As we march past Nassau Hall for the 45th time in the parade of alumni, and inch toward our 50th, we can at least hope that we live up to some of these extravagant attributes. (Of course, Affinity Numerology doesn’t attract customers by telling them what losers they are. Sixty-seven, the year we began college and the age most of us turn this year, is equally propitious: Highly focused on creating or maintaining a secure foundation for the family. It's conscientious, pragmatic, and idealistic.) But we don’t have to rely on shamans to tell us who we are. Roughly 200 responded to the long, whimsical survey that Art Lowenstein and Chris Connell (with much help from Alan Usas) prepared for our virtual Reunions Yearbook. Here’s an interpretive look at the results. Most questions were multiple-choice, but some left room for greater expression, albeit anonymously. First the percentages.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in August 1969 featured a galaxy of performers who had contributed significantly ot the alternative zeitgeist that spoke of peace and love in ways that may sound corny now. The peace and love of the Sixties was grounded in a strong antiwar sensibility and a sense of collective solidarity against the American war in Vietnam. When Joan Baez spoke about her husband – draft resister David Harris – introducing “The Ballad of Joe Hill”, the link between the struggles of the working class and the antiwar struggles of the day was apparent.

  • Institute for the Study of Nonviolence in Carmel Valley in 1965, 24 Year-Old Folk Singer Joan Baez Was Already a Near-Icon on the Ameri- Can Folk Music Scene
    THE CARMEL VALLEY HISTORIAN A PUBLICATION OF THE CARMEL VALLEY HISTO RICAL SOCIETY Volume 29, Issue 1 MARCH 2015 Remembering Joan Baez in Carmel Valley—1965 By Elizabeth Barratt, CVHS Historian By the time she opened her controversial Institute for the Study of Nonviolence in Carmel Valley in 1965, 24 year-old folk singer Joan Baez was already a near-icon on the Ameri- can folk music scene. Her 1959 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, an album contract with Vanguard Records, and a 1960 concert at Carnegie Hall had drawn the fans. Her cover image and story in the November 23, 1962 Time magazine established her title as Queen of Folk Music. In 1963, she joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the March on Washing- ton, D.C. Closer to home, her September 1964 concert at the Monterey Fairgrounds drew an audience of 5,000 attendees. But her arrival in Carmel Valley was heralded, not by the adulation of loyal admirers, but with protests from locals who feared an influx of bearded, barefoot, unwashed Bohemians descending upon and disrupting the area’s rural serenity. Baez had gone into partnership with her mentor, Ira Sandperl, to create the Institute, a center where individuals could gather to study and discuss topics of nonviolence and world peace. Initial sessions had been held at her home on Miramonte Road. Anticipating an enlarged attendance, she and Sandperl applied for a use permit to conduct the school in a small, whitewashed structure that had once been the Tularcitos School, later serving as a lab for the “So Help Me Hannah” poison oak remedy, and then a shotgun shell factory.

Ask somebody who fought it. The war ain’t over until you don’t have to live with it anymore. Ron Kovic, in an interview by David Harris for Rolling Stone David Harris Our War 1996 Twenty-five years ago, on April 30, 1975, America ended its two-decade reign of terror in Vietnam. The reign exacted a dreadful toll on Southeast Asia, leaving three million dead (including one million civilians1), four million wounded, “and ten million displaced from their homes. More than five million acres of forest and croplands were laid waste by eighteen million gallons of poisonous chemical herbicides. The U.S. military exploded more than fifteen million tons of bombs and ground munitions in a country less than half the size of the state of Texas.”2 “There are other reminders of the costs of [what the Vietnamese call] the American War: continuing generations of babies born deformed because of the effects of the chemical defoliant Agent Orange and farmers and children who are killed and maimed by unexploded bombs and mines.”3 In some ways, America did not fare much better. “From 1964 to 1972, the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world made a maximum military effort, with everything short of atomic bombs, to defeat a nationalist revolutionary movement in a tiny, 1 “Vietnam War” on Britannica DVD 99 (Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1999).
