In February 1941, two hundred and eighty-two firms and organi- zations participated in the convention exhibit of the American Association of School Administrators in the Atlantic City Audi- torium. Today, the armed forces are occupying that entire audito- rium, one of the largest in the world.

  • ADC and Antibomber Defense, 1946-1972
    Obtained and posted by AltGov2: www.altgov2.org ADC HISTORICAL STUDY NO. 39 THE AEROSPACE DEFENSE COMMAND AND ANTIBOMBER DEFENSE 194& -1972 ADCHO 73-8-17 FOREWORD" The resources made available to the Aerospace Defense Command (and the predecessor Air Defense Command) for defense against the manned bomber have ebbed and flowed with changes in national military policy. It is often difficult to outline the shape of national policy, however, in a dynamic society like that of the United States. Who makes national policy? Nobody, really. The armed forces make recommenda­ tions, but these are rarely accepted, in total, by the political administration that makes the final pbrposals to Congress. The changes introduced at the top executive level are variously motivated. The world political climate must be considered, as must various political realities within the country. Cost is always a factor and a determination must be made as to the allocation of funds for defense as opposed to allocations to other government concerns. The personalities, prejudices and predilections of the men who occupy high political office invariably affect proposals to Congress. The disposition of these proposals, of course, is in the hands of Congress. While the executive branch of the government is pushect' and pulled in various directions, Congress is probably subject to heavier pressures. Here, again, the nature of the men who occupy responsible positions within the Congress often affect the decisions of Congress. ·National policy, then, is the product of many minds and is shaped by many diverse interests. The present work is a recapitulation and summarization of three earlier monographs on this subject covering the periods 1946-1950 (ADC Historical Study No.

Gantz, Ph.D. ii Dedication For Baby Ike. iii Acknowledgements Writing my thesis with an adorable, screaming newborn has indebted me to numerous people. I need to thank my partner, Curt Scranton, for watching Baby Ike for hours on end and for giving a graduate student the best Valentine’s Day present possible—a trip to the Truman and Eisenhower libraries. He has been a sounding board for my many ideas, some good and some very bad, and has heard the “t word” more times than any partner should. I am grateful to my ever-inquisitive stepdaughter, Adelai, and am proud to become what she calls a “master.” Several friends deserve a round of applause and drinks for the many hours they babysat and listened to the trials of graduate school; they include Christine Greene, Jen Greene, Kendra Clauser, Steph Loyda, Jordan Scranton, Kristin Scranton and Rhona Stephanidis. I am thankful to my parents for their endless hours of babysitting, printer usage and relentless encouragement. To my brother, Michael Poletika, thank you for trudging through graduate school with me.

  • Soldiers' Reconciliation
    Soldiers’ Reconciliation René Cassin, the International Labour Office, and the Search for Human Rights JAY WINTER Reconciliation is the search for an alternative way of configuring hostile parties, locked in the hatred and bitterness unleashed by war and violence. One set of identities – that of soldiers killing other soldiers on the other side of the line – is muted by the construction of another set of identities, com- ing out of combatant status but moving away from war. Here the moral au- thority of soldiers, as men who know what Walt Whitman termed the red business of war, is decoupled from the conflict which brought them into uniform in the first place. Thereafter the door is at least ajar, leading to oth- er encounters with those whom they would have tried to kill on the battle- field. Those post-combat meetings help engender solidarities, an unlikely alliance of former enemies determined after the end of hostilities to make another murderous war unthinkable. I want to tell the story of one such effort. To be sure, in the short term, it failed, but in the process of creating a new kind of veterans’ politics, a se- ries of ideas emerged which had long-lasting consequences. These are the interests former soldiers had in constructing a norm of international affairs above that of the nation state. States, Raymond Aron tells us, are those in- stitutions defined by their right to wage war. Veterans in the interwar years challenged the absolute sovereignty of states precisely because of the lethal consequences of decisions to go to war for everyone caught up in them.
