Resumen Muchas de las acciones del ejército de los Estados Unidos durante la guerra de Indo- china, en las que se utilizó la capacidad de disparo en una escala sin precedentes, eran potenciales generadores de indignación en Indochina, en los Estados Unidos y en otros lugares. El examen de tres aspectos interconectados de las operaciones militares de los Estados Unidos en la guerra de Indochina (los bombardeos, el Programa Phoenix y la masacre de My Lai) proporciona numerosos ejemplos de cómo trató el gobierno esta- dounidense de impedir que sus acciones generaran indignación. Los métodos usados se pueden clasifi car en cinco categorías: ocultamiento de la acción; minusvaloración del objetivo; reinterpretación de la acción; uso de canales ofi ciales para hacer parecer justa la acción; fi nalmente, intimidación y soborno de personas implicadas.

  • The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon
    T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F... The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon What events influenced Richard Nixon’s rise to and fall from power? Introduction This photograph was taken of vice presidential candidate Richard Nixon relaxing with his pet dog, Checkers, in 1952. In his famous “Checkers” speech, Nixon refuted accusations that he had misused campaign contributions. He emphasized his family’s modest means, claiming that his wife, Pat, wore not a mink coat but “a respectable Republican cloth coat.” On September 23, 1952, California senator Richard Nixon reserved a spot on television to deliver the most important speech of his career. With this address, Nixon hoped to squash rumors that he had accepted $18,000 in illegal political contributions to finance personal expenses. The Republicans had recently nominated Nixon to run for vice president on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s ticket. When these charges against Nixon became public, Eisenhower was noncommittal — he did not drop Nixon from the ticket, but he also did not defend him. In his speech, Nixon said, “Not one cent of the $18,000 or any other money of that type ever went to me for my personal use. Every penny of it was used to pay for political expenses that I did not think should be charged to the taxpayers of the © 2020 Teachers' Curriculum Institute Level: A T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F...

Pp. xxii, 585. $30.00 ($18.00 paperback (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Perseus. 1999)). Reviewed by Joel L. Selig* I. There are not many accounts of lives in the law that can be rec- ommended without reservation to students, lawyers, and general readers. One that can be so recommended is Ken Gormley's well-researched, well-crafted and readable biography of Archibald Cox. This recommen- dation can be made without regard to the prospective reader's special- ized interests or legal or political philosophy. Cox's most memorable moment in the limelight, and the one with the largest audience, was his October 20, 1973, press conference in which he explained why, in his capacity as Watergate special prosecutor, he was insisting that President Richard M. Nixon produce a limited num- ber of specified White House tape recordings (pp.
