  • The Pillars of American Grand Strategy in World War II by Tami Davis Biddle
    Leveraging Strength: The Pillars of American Grand Strategy in World War II by Tami Davis Biddle Tami Davis Biddle is the Hoyt S. Vandenberg Chair of Aerospace Studies at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, PA. She is the author of Rhetoric and Reality in Air Warfare: The Evolution of British and American Thinking about Strategic Bombing, 1914–1945, and is at work on a new book titled, Taking Command: The United States at War, 1944–1945. This article is based on a lecture she delivered in March 2010 in The Hertog Program on Grand Strategy, jointly sponsored by Temple University’s Center for Force and Diplomacy, and FPRI. Abstract: This article argues that U.S. leaders navigated their way through World War II challenges in several important ways. These included: sustaining a functional civil-military relationship; mobilizing inside a democratic, capitalist paradigm; leveraging the moral high ground ceded to them by their enemies; cultivating their ongoing relationship with the British, and embra- cing a kind of adaptability and resiliency that facilitated their ability to learn from mistakes and take advantage of their enemies’ mistakes. ooking back on their World War II experience from the vantage point of the twenty-first century, Americans are struck, first of all, by the speed L with which everything was accomplished: armies were raised, fleets of planes and ships were built, setbacks were overcome, and great victories were won—all in a mere 45 months. Between December 1941 and August 1945, Americans faced extraordinary challenges and accepted responsibilities they had previously eschewed.

Although other scholars may have studied Rabbi Nachman, I.B. Singer, Chaim Potok and Pearl Abraham individually, no one has combined their works and examined the depiction of Hasidism through the codes and conventions of different literary genres. Additionally, my research on Judy Brown and Frieda Vizel raises urgent questions about the gendered foundations of Hasidism that are largely elided in the earlier texts.

  • The Jacques Barzun Award Lecture
    PERNICIOUS AMNESIA: COMBATING THE EPIDEMIC Response to the Conferral of the Inaugural Jacques Barzun Award The American Academy for Liberal Education Washington, D.C. 8 November 1997 Jaroslav Pelikan Sterling Professor Emeritus Yale University The Jacques Barzun Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Education The American Academy for Liberal Education is proud to establish the Jacques Barzun Award, honoring outstanding contributions to liberal education. Named in honor of one of the Academy’s founders, and its honorary chairman, Jacques Barzun, the award recognizes and celebrates qualities of scholarship and leadership in liberal education so perfectly embodied by Dr. Barzun himself. A distinguished scholar, teacher, author, and university administrator (he served for twelve years as Dean of Faculties and Provost of Columbia University), Jacques Barzun is internationally known as one of our most thoughtful commentators on the cultural history of the modern period. Among his most recent books are Critical Questions (a collection of his essays from 1940-1980), A Stroll With William James, and A Word or Two Before You Go. He has reflected on contemporary education in Begin Here: The Forgotten Conditions of Teaching and Learning, Teacher in America, and The American University, How it Runs, Where it is Going. Even a full recounting of Jacques Barzun’s forty or so books and translations, or of his many honors (he is a member of the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts) would fail to do full justice to the extent of Barzun’s influence on liberal education in this country.

  • The September Issue MADMAN
    Presents THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE Directed by: R.J. Cutler Produced By: R.J. Cutler, Eliza Hindmarch, Sadia Shepard Executive Produced By: Molly Thompson, Robert DeBitetto, Robert Sharenow, R.J. Cutler Running Time: 88 Minutes For Further Information Please Contact: PUBLICITY : Philippa Harris NIX Co t: 02 9211 6650 m: 0409 901 809 e: [email protected] (See last page for state publicity and materials contacts) The September Issue Production Information…Page 2 of 25 SYNOPSIS Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for twenty years, is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. Hidden behind her trademark bob and sunglasses, she has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her magazine. Until now. With unprecedented access, filmmaker R.J. Cutler’s new film The September Issue does for fashion what he did for politics in The War Room , taking the viewer inside a world they only think they know. Every August a record-breaking number of people can’t wait to get their hands on the September issue of Vogue . The 2007 issue was and remains the biggest ever, weighing over four pounds, selling thirteen million copies, and impacting the $300-billion global fashion industry more than any other single publication. An intimate, funny and surprising look at Anna Wintour and her team of larger-than-life editors as they create this must-have Bible of fashion, Cutler explores the untouchable glamour of Wintour’s Vogue to reveal the extraordinarily passionate people at its heart. He takes us behind the scenes at Fashion Week, to Europe, on shoots and reshoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous, entertaining, and sometimes emotionally demanding process.
