As a university professor (now at the State Department as a Foster Fellow) who teaches strategy, innovation and leadership to both undergraduate and MBA students, I was glad to see that the Department is following a similar path for developing leaders as the private sector. Leadership is one of the main traits that industry is now looking for in new hires. The 10 items discussed by Under Secretary Fore can be considered the “Ten Commandments” for good leadership. I would like to add one more from former Secretary Colin Powell that could be consid- ered the golden rule for good leadership: “Leadership is all about people. It is not about organizations. It is not about plans. It is not about strategies. It is all about people—motivating people to get the job done. You have to be people-centered.” Larry Chasteen Management Professor/Foster Fellow Office of Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism Great Publications Paul Claussen I have just enjoyed reading your article Just a short note to express my apprecia- (May issue) about the team that puts tion for the fine obituary of Paul Claussen, together the Bureau of International Infor- which appeared in the June issue.

This is a time of nuclear threat; a time of increasing inequality, populism, nationalism, and authoritarianism; a time when a record number of people—over 68 million in 2017—have been driven from their homes; a time when artificial intelligence is on the cusp of changing our world forever.

A record-high 63 original television and digital pilots and series will be presented for industry executives and TV fans at the 12th Annual New York Television Festival, including 42 world festival premieres, October 24-29, 2016 at The Helen Mills Theater and Event Space, with additional Festival events at the Tribeca Three Sixty° and SVA Theatre. The slate of in-competition projects was selected from the NYTVF's largest pool of pilot submissions ever: up more than 42 percent from the previous high. Festival organizers also noted that the selections are representative of creative voices across diverse demographics, with 59 percent having a woman in a core creative role (creator, writer, director and/or executive producer) and 43 percent including one or more persons of color above the line (core creative team and/or lead actor). “We were blown away by the talent and creativity of this year's submissions – across the board it was a record-setting year and we had an extremely difficult task in identifying the competition slate.

Brown Leonard and Sophie Davis PREVENT ATROCITIES IN THE Genocide Prevention Fellow, January – June 2015. Brown is CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC currently Managing Director of Strategy for Humanity, LLC. DECEMBER 2012 – SEPTEMBER 2014 1 METHODOLOGY AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report is the product of research conducted while I was the Leonard and Sophie Davis Genocide Prevention Fellow at the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide at United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). It is based on a review of more than 3,500 publicly available documents, including material produced by the US and French governments, the United Nations, the African Union, and the Economic Community of Central African States; press stories; NGO reports; and the Twitter and Facebook accounts of key individuals. I also interviewed a number of current and former US government officials and NGO representatives involved in the US response to the crisis. Almost all interviewees spoke on background in order to encourage a frank discussion of the relevant issues. Their views do not necessarily represent those of the agencies or NGOs for whom they work or worked – or of the United States Government. Although I attempted to meet with as many of the key players as possible, several officials turned down or did not respond to interview requests. I would like to thank USHMM staff, including Cameron Hudson, Naomi Kikoler, Elizabeth White, Lawrence Woocher, and Daniel Solomon, for their encouragement, advice, and comments. Special thanks to Becky Spencer and Mary Mennel, who were kind enough to make a lakeside cabin available for a writing retreat.

    Brian Balogh: Back Story is brought to you by Rest in Power: the Trayvon Martin Story. It's a six part original documentary series from Paramount Network, executive produced by Shawn Carter. It gives you the story behind the story you think you know. The series delves deep into the details of the case, and examines how Trayvon's death gave rise to Black Lives Matter. Exploring how the death of a 17 year old boy in Florida ignited a worldwide social justice movement. Paramount Network's Rest in Power: the Trayvon Martin Story, airs Mondays at 10/9 central on the new Paramount Network, and on BET. Major funding for Back Story is provided by an anonymous donor, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation. From Virginia Humanities, this is Back Story. Welcome to Back Story, the show that explains the history behind today's headlines. I'm Brian Balogh. Each week Back Story explores American history from our studios in Charlottesville, Virginia. A year ago, August 12th, history exploded on our doorstep. Charlottesville was thrust into the headlines around the world when the Unite the Right rally led to widespread disorder, public beatings, and the tragic death of counter protester Heather Heyer. A year ago we devoted our Back Story episode to an extended conversation between Ed, Joanne, Nathan and myself, about how to make sense of the events which had happened right outside our door, and how our history had informed these events. Charlottesville has had one year to start to come to terms with what happened here.

    “Fusion” Musics and Tunisian Identity in the Age of the Global Stereo Rachel Colwell Independent Study Project Popular Culture and Globalization in the Arab World School for International Training (SIT) May 11, 2009 Colwell 1 Tunisia wears its hybridity on its sleeve. Quite literally, a walk through the residential suburbs of Tunis, La Marsa or La Goullette, proves just that; when walking past a café you are as likely to see a middle-aged man in a smart Italian business suit wearing chechia, a distinctively Tunisian felt hat, as an older gentleman in djellabah, a heavy brown Berber cloak, sporting a “Yankees” cap and pair of sneakers. Superficially, these hybridities between local and inter-state, old and new, and “traditional” and “modern” are everywhere, on the street, on restaurant menus, and in the every-day colloquial Tunisian Arabic, darija, a combination of local Arabic and French with a spattering of Italian. These demonstrations barely scratch the surface though; hybridity is by no means skin-deep in Tunisia. Fusion and hybridity are not patterns that Tunisia or Tunisians put on to go out in the morning and take off at night like the imported second-hand American, British, and Brazilian t-shirts that women of all ages picked up for a few hundred millimes at the Sunday market in La Marsa. Fusion is a deeply rooted ideology, a meaningful pattern of life for Tunisians, whether explicitly or implicitly realized, that has had, and continues to have, profound effect on the development, internalization, and presentation of Tunisian identity throughout. Hybridity characterizes both internal identities among Tunisians and is an important component in Tunisia’s presentation of itself to other Arab states, to Europe, and to the world.
