He holds a unique place in American life: soldier, diplomat, advisor to both Republican and Democratic Presidents. What does he make of the Washington gridlock? Does he think the system is broken? What would he do to fix it? We'll ask him. Then I'll have a personal thought on why Washington doesn't listen, or does it? It's all next on FACE THE NATION. ANNOUNCER: FACE THE NATION with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer. And now, from CBS News in Washington, Bob Schieffer. BOB SCHIEFFER: And good morning again. The former secretary of state, the former chairman of the joint chiefs is in the studio with us this morning. General, you do bring a unique perspective to this. You're a Republican but you have held high- level positions under both Republicans and Democrats. And when you announced that you were voting for Barack Obama in 2008, it really got the nation's attention. Here's part of what you said. COLIN POWELL (Former Secretary of State) (Meet the Press, October 19, 2008): Because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, he has both style and substance, he has met the standard of being a successful President, being an exceptional President.

Kissinger's World: a Cautionary Tale Through a Cold War Lens Book Review*
Kissinger's World: A Cautionary Tale Through a Cold War Lens Book Review* MICHAEL J. KELLY** Henry Kissinger, former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State in the Nixon and Ford administrations, Nobel Peace Laureate, co- Man of the Year for Time Magazine, and widely regarded "dean of American foreign policy" is an eloquent writer. He is persuasive, avuncular, and sometimes grandiose. His internal logic is mostly consistent and coherent. He is perhaps one of the greatest diplomats of his generation. Henry Kissinger is also a man of the Cold War generation. This book reflects his latest attempt to bring meaning to the multipolar world that has emerged around him, but it equally reflects his more general inability to do so, as he continues to cling to notions of unipolarity with America at the center. An unfortunate theme is Kissinger's predictable distraction by geopolitical and geostrategic considerations that enjoyed more relevance during his tenure in office than today. Does America Need a Foreign Policy? is clearly a rhetorical title intended to stir interest in what Dr. Kissinger rightly perceives as waning American concern for international affairs. This book is designed to offer a general stock-taking of our current situation in the world as we move into the 21st century-hence the subtitle, Toward a Diplomacyfor the 21st Century. While the book does not neatly outline a comprehensive new foreign policy, package it with all the trimmings and deliver it to Secretary of State Powell for immediate implementation, it does create a * Henry Kissinger, Does America Need a Foreign Policy (Simon & Schuster 2001).

Where Have You Gone George C. Marshall? Colonel Douglas A
Photo courtesy of the George C. Marshall Foundation Where Have You Gone George C. Marshall? Colonel Douglas A. LeVien United States Army here have you gone George C. Marshall? Dr. Forrest Pogue’s illuminating authorized, 1 four–volume, 1,900 page, biography of George C. Marshall published between 1963 and 1987, is the definitive, indispensable account of the “true organizer of victory” and W 1 America’s global role in the post World War II world. Pogue’s masterpiece is an enduring monument to the life of one of America’s greatest soldiers, statesmen, humanitarians, peacemakers, and architects of success. The historian Douglas Freeman once observed that when Marshall’s colleagues asked themselves what were his most noble character virtues, they immediately turned to Thomas Jefferson’s testimonial to George Washington: “His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decisions.”2 “Succeeding generations,” Winston Churchill insisted, “must not be allowed to forget his achievements and his example.”3 Marshall was a leadership genius whose guiding principles are timeless and worthy of emulation. Yet after 14-plus years of endless conflict following the attacks of September 11, 2001, and for considerable spans of the last half-century, the United States has largely ignored his example. In an era when too many of our public and private leaders are more interested in their personal or special interests, and more concerned about prestige than selflessness, it is absolutely necessary to reflect upon how Marshall would have prevented the best military in the world from misguided, endless wars and provided the world’s lone superpower with the strategic vision to navigate in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment.

Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership at His Alma Mater, the City College of New York (CCNY)
For over fifty years, General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) has devoted his life to public service. Having held senior military and diplomatic positions across four presidential administrations, Powell’s deep commitment to democratic values and freedom has been felt throughout the world. The son of Jamaican immigrants, Powell was born in Harlem in April 1937 and was raised in the South Bronx. He was educated in the New York City public schools and after graduating from Morris High School attended the City College of New York where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology. It was not until he joined the Army ROTC program at CCNY that he discovered his calling and launched his military career. He received a commission as an Army second lieutenant upon graduation in 1958 and went on to serve in the United States Army for 35 years, rising to the rank of Four-Star General. From 1987 – 1989 Powell served as President Ronald Reagan’s National Security Advisor. He served from 1989 – 1993 as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for both President George H.W. Bush and for President Bill Clinton, and was not only the youngest officer and first ROTC graduate to ever serve in the position but also was the first African American to do so. During his time as Chairman, he oversaw 28 crises to include the Panama intervention of 1989 and Operation Desert Storm in the victorious 1991 Persian Gulf War. Under President George W. Bush, Powell was appointed the 65th Secretary of State and was unanimously confirmed by the U.S.

3 Party Image Over Time, Contemporary Party Images, and the Prospects for Change
3 Party Image over Time, Contemporary Party Images, and the Prospects for Change Attachments to partisan labels live long beyond events that gave them birth. —V. O. Key Jr., 1949 BASED ON THE HISTORICAL background provided in chapter 2, we know that both the Republican and Democratic Parties have engaged in a range of activities in an attempt to convey to the elec- torate on which side of the racial divide the parties have stood. From symbolic to legislative strategies, both parties have attempted to attract either African Americans or racially conservative whites. Neither party, however, has permanently stayed on one side of the fence. Teetering back and forth, the Democratic and Republican Parties have adjusted their strategies based on their electoral prospects at any given moment. In light of these historical activities, I now turn to examining how the parties’ actions have manifested in people’s perceptions. First, I use the 1948–2002 American National Election Study (ANES) to gauge racial symbolism over time. Since 1952, the ANES has asked a set of open-ended questions designed to assess respon- dents’ perceptions of political parties. I use these responses to ascertain whether individuals believed that a party had positive racial symbol- ism—that is, that the party was good for blacks and other minorities— or negative racial symbolism. (For a more detailed description of the data and methodology, see the appendix.) To bolster these ‹ndings, I also examine perceptions of the two parties on the issue of government aid to blacks and other minorities. This item is the only other question asked in repeated years in which respondents’ had to assess the politi- cal parties along some racial dimension.

'Emailgate' Shows Clintonian Exceptionalism
blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2015/03/14/emailgate-shows-clintonian-exceptionalism-in-press-coverage-not-her-behavior/ ‘Emailgate’ shows Clintonian Exceptionalism — in Press Coverage, Not Her Behavior Last week saw the U.S. State Department reveal that the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton maintained a private email account and server in violation of relevant regulations. Bill D. Herman argues that the unrelenting focus on Clinton since the email scandal broke is an example of coverage that is out of proportion and out of context. He reminds us that government officials have been using private email accounts for years – mostly for convenience’s sake – officials which include Colin Powell, Chuck Hagel, and several Republican presidential hopefuls, Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, and Scott Walker. A former US Secretary of State has violated the law — using a personal email address for official business and then recklessly deleting potentially work-related emails. I somehow doubt Colin Powell will ever face much blowback for his misstep. Read in the context of recent news coverage, one might assume I was talking about Hillary Clinton. Yes, her behavior probably violated several administration policies. However, her entire email archive is still in place, while Powell simply deleted his, which is obviously a much bigger problem and probably violates the plain text of the relevant statute. Yet Powell is hardly even having a finger waved at him, and Clinton has spent almost two weeks being raked over the coals. Thus comes the two-fold lesson of the Clinton email scandal. First, the breaking of the Clinton story has revealed a broader problem with digital communication that reaches to many other parts of federal and even state government.

Honorable Colin Luther Powell DOB: April 5, 1937
Honorable Colin Luther Powell DOB: April 5, 1937 Contributions: The son of Jamaican immigrants, General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret) was born in Harlem and was raised in the South Bronx. He has devoted more than 50 years of his life to public service, serving 35 years in the US Army, and rising to the rank of Four-Star General. Why is Colin Powell an important figure in Black History? Colin L. Powell was appointed Secretary of State by George W. Bush on January 20, 2001, after being unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He was the first African American to serve as Secretary of State. At the time, it was also the highest rank ever held by an African American in the United States government. He served for four years, leaving the position on January 26, 2005. In 1989 he was the first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and at 52, the youngest officer to serve in this position. Among the many U.S. Military awards and decorations Powell has received are the Defense Distinguished Service Medal (with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters), the Army Distinguished Service Medal (with Oak Leaf Cluster), Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit (with Oak Leaf Cluster), Soldier’s Medal, Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart. He is also honored with a bronze statue at the Buffalo Soldier Memorial Park in Kansas. Where is Colin Powell today? It’s no surprise Colin Powell is a much sought-after speaker. In addition to his speaking engagements, he is the chair of the Board of Visitors of the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership at his alma mater, the City College of New York (CCNY).

A Study of Modern Black Conservative Rhetoric
1 DIFFERENCE WITHIN DIFFERENCE: A STUDY OF MODERN BLACK CONSERVATIVE RHETORIC A dissertation presented By Jonathan Osborne to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2020 2 DIFFERENCE WITHIN DIFFERENCE: A STUDY OF MODERN BLACK CONSERVATIVE RHETORIC A dissertation presented By Jonathan Osborne ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2020 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes speeches delivered between 1996 and 2015 by Alan Keyes, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell to examine how Black conservative rhetoric constructs and resists itself as part of the African American rhetorical tradition. My study engages an area of African American rhetoric rarely given serious rhetorical analysis. Much of the scholarship surrounding Black rhetoric(s) presents its methodology and execution in a similar form. Theorized as a rhetoric of resistance, the field draws upon the writing and rhetoric of prominent and insightful Black men and women to construct its form and function. Though profound and necessary to elevate the voices and perspectives of Black people, I argue that the field neglects conservative political perspectives latent within the larger African American rhetorical tradition. Black conservatives often find themselves ostracized by Black communities and tokenized by the political right, producing a twofold marginalization of their rhetoric. At the same time, Black conservatives occupy an important role in constructing policy and legislation, particularly in the cases of Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, as well as the historical construction of the Black political voice.
