  • Patti Davis, Daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Reveals She Was Sexually Assaulted, Calls Christine Blasey Ford 'Brave'
    Patti Davis, daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, reveals she was sexually assaulted, calls Christine Blasey Ford 'brave' Elise Solé Yahoo Lifestyle, September 22, 2018 Patti Davis, the daughter of President Ronald Reagan and the late Nancy Reagan, has disclosed in a Washington Post essay that she was sexually assaulted. (Photo: Getty Images) Writer Patti Davis, the daughter of former president Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan, has written an essay about being her experience of being sexually assaultedto illustrate why women like Christine Blasey Ford, Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser, don’t fully recall their traumatic memories. In the opinion piece Called “I was sexually assaulted. Here’s why I don’t remember many of the details,” published in the Washington Post on Friday, Davis reveals that she was assaulted — though many would describe what she experienced as rape — by a “prominent music executive” 40 years ago after writing a song that appeared on the 1975 album “One of These Nights,” by the Eagles. Eager to kickstart a songwriting career, Davis says she met the executive in his office — an appointment she pointed out was “scheduled suspiciously late in the workday.” Davis can’t recall the content of the meeting, but details such as the man’s faCe, hair, clothing, and his offer to use cocaine stuck, as did a growing feeling of discomfort. “What happened next, though, is indelible,” wrote Davis. “He crossed the room. There was a dark-green carpet, but his footsteps seemed loud, hard. He was against me, on top of me — so quickly — with his hands under my skirt and his mouth on mine, that I froze.

  • A PHOTOJOURNALIST on ASSIGNMENT by PETE SOUZA
    A PHOTOJOURNALIST ON ASSIGNMENT by PETE SOUZA B.S., Boston University, 1976 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE School of Journalism and Mass Communications College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2006 Approved by: Major Professor Robert Meeds Copyright PETER J. SOUZA 2006 Please note: Some of the photographs in this report are previously copywritten by the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, The Chanute Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and Pete Souza Photography. They are used here with permission. Abstract This report is based on an exhibition of 37 photographs at the Kemper Gallery in the Student Union of Kansas State University. All photographs presented here and in the exhibit were created during the past 28 years of my career. Hence the exhibit is a mid-career retrospective. My photojournalism experience is very unique in that I am the only photojournalist in the world who has worked as a presidential photographer, published photo essays in National Geographic Magazine as a free- lancer, and been on the staff of a large metro newspaper. The photographs chosen for the exhibit were high- lighted by, but not limited to, assignments from those three experiences. This report mirrors the exhibit except for a few additional photographs that, because of space limita- tions, didnʼt make it into the final edit for the exhibit. There are three sections: Moments from Kansas to Papua New Guinea, The Presidency, and After 9/11. The “moments” section presents a wide variety of photographs from a wide variety of assignments.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. In this study, beliefs and convictions are delineated by the extent to which the belief is also operationalized in policy; that is, a conviction is a belief that has been applied in a substantive manner. For example, as we will see in chapter 6 that deals with Reagan’s cognetic narrative, he had a belief that abortion was abhorrent and immoral, but he had a competing conviction that it was not a government’s role to impose limits on freedom of choice. In effect, his conviction about limited government overrode his belief about abortion from becoming a conviction. For members of the Religious Right, for whom prohibiting abortion was clearly a conviction, Reagan managed to assuage them with rhetoric, but the record shows that he did not act in a substantive manner. 2.

  • Public Diplomacy for the Nuclear Age: the United States, the United Kingdom, and the End of the Cold War
    PUBLIC DIPLOMACY FOR THE NUCLEAR AGE: THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND THE END OF THE COLD WAR A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Anthony M. Eames, M.A. Washington, DC April 9, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Anthony M. Eames All Rights ReserveD ii PUBLIC DIPLOMACY FOR THE NUCLEAR AGE: THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND THE END OF THE COLD WAR Anthony M. Eames, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Kathryn Olesko, Ph.D., David Painter, Ph.D. ABSTRACT During the 1980s, public diplomacy campaigns on both sides of the Atlantic competed for moral, political, and scientific legitimacy in debates over arms control, the deployment of new missile systems, ballistic missile defense, and the consequences of nuclear war. The U.S. and U.K. governments, led respectively by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and backed by a network of think tanks and political organizations associated with the New Right, sought to win public support for a policy of Western nuclear superiority over the Soviet bloc. Transatlantic peace movement and scientific communities, in contrast, promoted the language and logic of arms reduction as an alternative to the arms race. Their campaigns produced new approaches for relating scientific knowledge and the voice of previously neglected groups such as women, racial minorities, and the poor, to the public debate to illuminate the detrimental effects of reliance on nuclear weapons for Western society. The conflict between these simultaneously domestic and transnational campaigns transformed the nature of diplomacy and public diplomacy, in which official and unofficial actors engaged transnational publics in order to win support for their policy preferences, emerged as an important complement to state-based institutional channels of international relations.
