  • The Origins of the Trilateral Commission
    Dealing with an Interdependent and Fragmented World: The Origins of the Trilateral Commission By Fulvio Drago Research Fellow, International Studies University of Roma Tre Rome [email protected] © 2010 by Fulvio Drago In October 2012 I conducted funded research at the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) on the recently opened Trilateral Commission (North America) records. I am particularly interested in the origins of the Commission and the role of those members who joined the Jimmy Carter administration in 1977. The research is part of a larger project on the origins of globalization during the Cold War and on the contribution of think tanks and other NGO’s on the definition of new goals in a rapidly changing world, which emerged in the 1970s.1 Stories Yet to be Written: The Trilateral Commission in the Scientific Literature The previous scientific literature which has dealt with the history of the Trilateral Commission shows two major limitations. The first is related to the growing influence of “conspiracy theories” associated with the Commission and other transnational NGOs. Furthermore, the studies that are based on more rigorous scholarly reconstructions are quite dated, because documents relating to the Commission have only recently become available.2 My project seeks to chart a new path, by attempting to enrich the traditional political and diplomatic history of the United States with the history of a Non Governmental Organization (NGO), in order to shed new light on an important period in the history of the United States. 1 Research Project Between the late 1960s and the first half of the 1970s the U.S.

    Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld 59 Steve Jobs’ Immortal Quest and the Heroic Persona Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld Yale University October 2011 was a month of historic milestones for Apple. At the end of the prior month, on Tuesday, September 27, Apple sent media invitations for a press event to be held October 4, 2011 at 10:00 am at the Cupertino Headquarters for a major announcement. Several prominent industry analysts proclaimed with hopeful optimism that the firm would announce the return of Apple founder Steve Jobs. Sadly, Steve Jobs did not appear for what turned out to be a product announcement of the iPhone 4S. In fact, Jobs had stepped down as CEO on January 17, 2011, a year and a half after returning from medical leave. He stated that Tim Cook, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, would run day-to-day operations as he had previously done during Jobs’ 2009 medical leave. The analysts’ wishful thinking had some basis in more than cult like denial of Steve Jobs’ mortality. In fact, despite that medical leave, Jobs had returned for the iPad 2 launch on March 2 and the iCloud introduction on June 6. The analysts were among many constituents around the world who were to be tragically disappointed. Jobs actually had resigned as CEO on August 22, 2011 saying, “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come” (Isaacson, 2011). Six weeks later, a day after the new iPhone press conference, he died (Isaacson, 2011).

As she passed through Daly City, she noticed that the hills were covered with endless rows of new candy-colored tract houses. She pulled over, asked her husband to drive, and immediately wrote “Little Boxes.”1 The song, which became an unlikely hit for Pete Seeger the next year, and has since been covered by countless other musicians, became the hymn of anti-suburban sentiment.2 Reynolds, who had a PhD in English from UC Berkeley, fits neatly into the ranks of academics and intellectuals who scorned these new suburbs and all they represented. Even if her lyrics seem over-simplified today, a surprising number of contemporary critics of suburbia main- tain a similar social and aesthetic disdain for suburban houses and their residents.3 As historian John Archer has pointed out, their critiques are based on two enduring concepts.

  • Hewlett-Packard's Secret Surveillance of Directors and Journalists
    For the exclusive use of C. Luong, 2016. NA0050 Unauthorized Disclosure: Hewlett- Packard’s Secret Surveillance of Directors and Journalists Anne T. Lawrence, San Jose State University Randall D. Harris, California State University, Stanislaus Sally Baack, San Francisco State University n September 28, 2006, members of Congress, their staffs, reporters, prospec- tive witnesses, and the curious public packed the wood-paneled hearing room Oof the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The subject of the day’s hearing, called by the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, was “Hewlett-Packard’s Pretexting Scandal.” 1 At issue were methods the technology firm had used to investigate the unauthorized disclosure of nonpublic information to the press by members of its board of directors. Hewlett-Packard (HP) apparently had hired investi- gators who had used a technique known as pretexting—calling the phone company and posing as someone else in order to obtain that person’s records. Newsweek had summed up the situation in a cover story published ten days earlier: “Lying, spying, name-call- ing, finger-pointing—all of it is a tragicomedy that Shakespeare might’ve penned if he had gotten an MBA.” 2 Hewlett-Packard and its board chairman, Patricia Dunn, had initially defended the company’s investigation of directors and journalists, saying aggressive efforts to ferret out the source of leaks were fully justified. But in the past few weeks, the situation had begun to spin out of control as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the California Attorney General had opened probes into the company’s actions.3 Now, nearly two dozen of HP’s top executives, directors, lawyers, and investigators—includ- ing the company’s CEO Mark Hurd—had been called before Congress to account for their firm’s alleged out-of-bounds behavior and to explain what they intended to do about it.

SCULLY Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 84 PUBLISHED 2004 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. WILLIAM REDINGTON HEWLETT May 20, 1913–January 12, 2001 BY ROBERT J. SCULLY AND MARLAN O. SCULLY ILLIAM REDINGTON HEWLETT passed away on January 12, W2001, endowing that day with a national significance. The Silicon Valley miracle was in large part fostered by William Hewlett and David Packard. Indeed, the ideas and ideals of the Hewlett-Packard Corporation set a high stan- dard for the industry. During his life Hewlett was recog- nized by his profession, his country, and his peers as the hero that he was. He was president of the (now) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in 1954 and was elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering in 1965 and the National Academy of Sciences in 1977. Presi- dent Reagan awarded him the National Medal of Science in 1983, and he was awarded the prestigious “Degree of Un- common Man” by Stanford University in 1987. Hewlett-Packard was and is a testament to the success of the free enterprise system and the American dream. The simple, honorable ideals and intensely productive practices they employed propelled a business started in a garage during the Depression to stardom. William and his lifelong friend and partner, David Packard, owned and ran a unique com- pany dedicated to the premise that profits were based on the well-being of its most important assets: its employees.

  • Trilateral Commission Task Force Report on Artificial Intelligence Draft for Discussion | March 25, 2018
    TRILATERAL COMMISSION TASK FORCE REPORT ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION | MARCH 25, 2018 Members of the Task Force Report on Artificial Intelligence (AI) have co-authored a draft report that introduces the possibilities as well as risks associated with AI. The draft report will be presented during the Trilateral Commission’s 2018 plenary meeting in Singapore. Potential applications in education, health care, food and agriculture are analyzed. The report also explores the potential impact on the labour markets, changing demographics as well as related governance issues. For next steps, the authors aim to develop a perspective that only the Trilateral Commission can enable, thus creating a distinctive and valuable contribution to the field. In particular, the authors aim to: ■ Engage interested Trilateral Commission members on the report; ■ Ask Trilateral members to nominate external stakeholders to engage on the report; ■ Create a distribution list for the report after the 2018 Singapore plenary meeting; ■ Synthesize the report further and publish on the TC website; and ■ Guide the agenda setting for upcoming regional meetings. We welcome your engagement and feedback throughout this process.
