    Nights Underground in Darkest London: the Blitz, 1940–1941

    Nights Underground in Darkest London: The Blitz, 1940–1941 Geoffrey Field Purchase College, SUNY After the tragic events of September 11, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani at once saw parallels in the London Blitz, the German air campaign launched against the British capital between September 1940 and May 1941. In the early press con- ferences at Ground Zero he repeatedly compared the bravery and resourceful- ness of New Yorkers and Londoners, their heightened sense of community forged by danger, and the surge of patriotism as a town and its population came to symbolize a nation embattled. His words had immediate resonance, despite vast differences between the two situations. One reason for the Mayor’s turn of mind was explicit: he happened at that moment to be reading John Lukacs’ Five Days in London, although the book examines the British Cabinet’s response to the German invasion of France some months before bombing of the city got un- derway. Without doubt Tony Blair’s outspoken support for the United States and his swift (and solitary) endorsement of joint military action also reinforced this mental coupling of London and New York. But the historical parallel, however imperfect, seemed to have deeper appeal. Soon after George W. Bush was telling visitors of his admiration for Winston Churchill, his speeches began to emulate Churchillian cadences, Karl Rove hung a poster of Churchill in the Old Execu- tive Office Building, and the Oval Office sported a bronze bust of the Prime Min- ister, loaned by British government.1 Clearly Churchill, a leader locked in conflict with a fascist and a fanatic, was the man for this season, someone whom all political parties could invoke and quote, someone who endured and won in the end.

This Note argues that signatures on petitions intended for use in direct democracy processes such as ballot initiatives should be subject to public scrutiny and disclosure. They should not benefit from free speech protections allowing for anonymity. Signatures used in these proceedings should not be considered petitions or speech at all, but rather lawmaking.

    CYRUS HABIB "Nothing Was Impossible" by Bob Young Cyrus Habib "Nothing Was Impossible"

    CYRUS HABIB "Nothing Was Impossible" By Bob Young Cyrus Habib "Nothing Was Impossible" oing into junior high school, Kamyar Habib flirted with reinventing himself. It wouldn’t be the last time. He was a blind, cancer-surviving Iranian Amer- ican living in a Seattle suburb. And he was tired of kids making fun of his Gname by calling him “Caviar.” “You’re right, I’m a delicacy,” he’d snap back. Armored wit had become his first line of defense. He didn’t have a middle name, so he gave himself one, after a daring leader of ancient Persia, Cyrus the Great. He went by “K.C.” which added a hint of hipness to a bookish teenager who played jazz piano. By the time he got to New York City and Columbia University at 18, he was fully “Cyrus.” Debonair in designer clothes and sunglasses, he became a published photographer. “In New York you can be a new man,” Habib says, quoting the musi- cal “Hamilton.” He won a scholarship to Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and aspired to be a literature professor. Then, he took a hard turn from aca- demia’s abstractions toward the corridors of power. He opted to become an attorney and headed to Yale, where he edited the law journal, while working, in his spare time, for Google in London and Goldman Sachs on Wall Street. In 2012, Habib veered into politics, after sizing up the current crop of office holders, and concluding, I can do that. Just four years later, he became Washington’s lieutenant governor, and the first Iranian American elected to a statewide office in the U.S.

    Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012

    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.
