Cousins was the strongest proponent of the idea for a conference that would bring together high-level citizens from the two primary antagonists of the Cold War. And he had a personal relationship with the president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Cousins was a unique figure in the intellectual and public life of mid-20th century America. He was editor for 35 years of the Saturday Review of Literature, a founder of the anti-nuclear SANE move- ment, and a committed believer that world peace could only be achieved through world government. He was also a member of the Kettering Foundation Dartmouth College President John Dickey (center) with Russian delegation, Hanover, board from 1967 to 1987.

(Over 80 chapters had some kind of alcohol related program during the past biennium.) She mentioned that we are in the era of "It's Great to be Greek" and many members are partici­ pating in Panhellenic. In the last 20 years more than a million new members have joined NPC member groups. Kappas continue to uphold philanthropic endeavors with a total of $380,000 awarded to scholarships during the bienni­ um. "Every single one of us can buy a Kappa magazine sub­ scription through the Rose McGill Agency housed at Fraterni­ ty Headquarters," said President Nitschke as she viewed the spirit of Kappa is giving to others. New resources unveiled at convention included: Revised Ad­ ventures in Leadership, A Guide to Scholarship, Manual for Pledge Chairmen, Songs of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Revised Book of Devotions, Keys to Housing, Graphics Manual, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Professional Directory. An inspirational Memorial Service paid tribute to all Kappas who passed away during the biennium; a stirring President's Dinner featured seven former presidents with Helen Snyder Steiner speaking as the ranking president- her 27th Fraternity convention; a KappaFair unparalleled where resource people were available to answer any and all questions; a cookout at Mummy Mountain with skit; "Kids on the Block" came to the philanthropy dinner; and an encounter with " Sun Signs and Marian Klingbeil Williams, 0 - Missouri Fraternity President Spirit Circles" at the candlelight banquet are all moments to be remembered.

    The Diary of Anatoly S. Chernyaev 1986 Donated by A.S. Chernyaev to The National Security Archive Translated by Anna Melyakova Edited by Svetlana Savranskaya http://www.nsarchive.org Translation © The National Security Archive, 2007 The Diary of Anatoly S. Chernyaev, 1986 http://www.nsarchive.org January 1st, 1986. At the department1 everyone wished each other to celebrate the New Year 1987 “in the same positions.” And it is true, at the last session of the CC (Central Committee) Secretariat on December 30th, five people were replaced: heads of CC departments, obkom [Oblast Committee] secretaries, heads of executive committees. The Politizdat2 director Belyaev was confirmed as editor of Soviet Culture. [Yegor] Ligachev3 addressed him as one would address a person, who is getting promoted and entrusted with a very crucial position. He said something like this: we hope that you will make the newspaper truly an organ of the Central Committee, that you won’t squander your time on petty matters, but will carry out state and party policies... In other words, culture and its most important control lever were entrusted to a Stalinist pain-in-the neck dullard. What is that supposed to mean? Menshikov’s case is also shocking to me. It is clear that he is a bastard in general. I was never favorably disposed to him; he was tacked on [to our team] without my approval. I had to treat him roughly to make sure no extraterritoriality and privileges were allowed in relation to other consultants, and even in relation to me (which could have been done through [Vadim] Zagladin,4 with whom they are dear friends).

  • Telling Our Story
    Tel l i ng Our Story What makes Dartmouth an experience like no other? Why does Dartmouth matter out of proportion to its size? What makes Dartmouth ... Dartmouth? The answers to these questions—the defining fundamentals of our story—come not from outside experts but from within our own community: students, faculty, staff, and alumni who so eloquently articulate what makes Dartmouth distinctive. From them come the language, tone, and proof points for the pages that follow. To celebrate what makes Dartmouth different in a way that resonates and sticks, we must be clear and consistent. To motivate those who know us best and introduce ourselves to those who don’t yet know us at all, we must be proud and unapologetic. To tell our story with confidence, we must embrace who we are. This book provides the tools for you, as an ambassador for Dartmouth, to do just that: to share with the world what makes Dartmouth … Dartmouth. 1 Telling Our Story Our Mission Dartmouth College educates the most promising students and prepares them for a lifetime of learning and of responsible leadership, through a faculty dedicated to teaching and the creation of knowledge. 2 3 Telling Our Story The Strategic Communications Framework There are lots of facts and stats that document what makes Dartmouth great.

The American university was in tur- moil, and students, for the first time since the 1930s, played on a na- tional political stage. A sitting president, Lyndon Johnson, decided not to run for reelection in part because of student demonstrations against his Vietnam policies. Students were also at the forefront of a major change in American values and attitudes - particularly in areas such as relations between the sexes, reproductive rights, music, and social norms. For a short period in the late 1960s, public opinion polls indicated that the most important concern of the American population was campus unrest.

I am curious how you came to choose Dartmouth as the institution for undergraduate learning. HART: It was chosen for me. My father went to Dartmouth, Class of 1921 [Clifford F. Brown ʻ21]. Then he went to Columbia School of Architecture and got his Bachelor of Architecture there; but he was extremely loyal to Dartmouth and I felt that his four years at Dartmouth were probably the happiest of his life. He always seemed to be seriously connected with Dartmouth and I was, as a matter of fact, registered or enrolled in the Class of whatever, enrolled at Dartmouth when I was born. So I grew up understanding that I would go to Dartmouth. However there was a bump in that road since I got heavily involved with junior competitive tennis and felt that I probably would like to go to Stanford. His position was that I could go to Stanford. That would be fine, but he wouldnʼt pay for it. [Laughter] I could go to Dartmouth or I could go to Harvard if I got a scholarship. I did get some kind of tuition break at Dartmouth and that was the best deal, and I was perfectly happy to go to Dartmouth.
