    Never Say Never Again Ariel E. Levite Nuclear Reversal Revisited

    Never Say Never Again Never Say Never Again Ariel E. Levite Nuclear Reversal Revisited A serious gap exists in scholarly understanding of nuclear proliferation. The gap derives from inade- quate attention to the phenomena of nuclear reversal and nuclear restraint as well as insufªcient awareness of the biases and limitations inherent in the em- pirical data employed to study proliferation. This article identiªes “nuclear hedging” as a national strategy lying between nuclear pursuit and nuclear roll- back. An understanding of this strategy can help scholars to explain the nu- clear behavior of many states; it can also help to explain why the nightmare proliferation scenarios of the 1960s have not materialized. These insights, in turn, cast new light on several prominent proliferation case studies and the unique role of the United States in combating global proliferation. They have profound implications for engaging current or latent nuclear proliferants, underscoring the centrality of buying time as the key component of a non- proliferation strategy. The article begins with a brief review of contemporary nuclear proliferation concerns. It then takes stock of the surprisingly large documented universe of nuclear reversal cases and the relevant literature.1 It proceeds to examine the empirical challenges that bedeviled many of the earlier studies, possibly skew- ing their theoretical findings. Next, it discusses the features of the nuclear reversal and restraint phenomena and the forces that inºuence them. In this context, it introduces and illustrates an alternative explanation for the nu- clear behavior of many states based on the notion of nuclear hedging. It draws on this notion and other inputs to reassess the role that the United States At the time this article was written, Ariel E.

    2 Silver Squelchers and Their Interesting Associates!

    #2 SILVER SQUELCHERS AND THEIR INTERESTING ASSOCIATES! Presented September 2014 by Charles Savoie “…THE CLANS WHOSE SELFISH ACTIVITIES HAVE TORMENTED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS---THE MEMBERS OF THE POWER MINDED UPPER RULING CLASS THAT SEE EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN INTERESTS. EVERY REPRESSIVE AND FASCIST TREND IN THE UNITED STATES CAN BE TRACED ON THE RECORD IN SOME WAY, TO THIS RULING CLASS.” ---pages 484 and 513, “America’s 60 Families” by Ferdinand Lundberg, 1937. There is no evidence that Lundberg was aware of The Pilgrims Society. Continuing with number 2 in this series, as we progress towards the present, we will consider another 15 Pilgrims Society members from the leaked 1914 rosters. Unavoidably we will mention others significantly connected to them. Not all members of this nearly unknown organization have been, or are, precious metals suppressors. The organization is concerned with many other spheres---medicine, science, diplomacy, the military and war industries, insurance giants, universities, big media, and far more. This group remains present at this moment behind the scenes and traces to conspirators active in the Crime of ’73, the Panics of 1857 and 1837, both United States Banks, and much more. It can be anticipated that as they were in earlier times the source of precious metals price and monetary suppression, that the ringleaders in this arena today are also members. That’s why it’s important to maintain pressure on them to post rosters to public view. None of the nine rosters from bygone years were voluntarily released. 1) Henry Clews (1836-1923) is described by Wikipedia as having cofounded in 1859 “Livermore, Clews & Company, then the second largest marketer of Federal bonds during the Civil War.” In 1877 he was the principal in Clews & Company.

    The Emergence, Development and Survival of Four Lesbian and Gay Archives

    The Emergence, Development and Survival of Four Lesbian and Gay Archives by Rebecka Taves Sheffield A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Rebecka Taves Sheffield 2015 The Emergence, Development and Survival of Four Lesbian and Gay Archives Rebecka Taves Sheffield Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies University of Toronto 2015 ABSTRACT Lesbian and gay archives, particularly those established within the context of the homophile, gay liberation, and lesbian feminist movements, serve as social movement organizations (SMOs). That is, they are organizational and administrative members of activist communities that acquire, manage, and share resources for the purpose of collective action for social change. Archives are nevertheless absent from literature on social movements and social movement theory. This project was designed to expand on current research in the fields of archival studies, social movement studies, and sexuality studies to better understand the experiences of lesbian and gay archives. A multiple case study was conducted at four community grown archives: The Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives, the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, The June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives, and the Lesbian Herstory Archives. Site visits took place over six months in 2013 and 2014, during which time interviews were conducted with 33 community archivists, volunteers, and community partners. In addition, more than 20,000 pages of organizational records related to the founding and development of these archives were reviewed. By tracing the emergence, development, and resource struggles of four lesbian and gay archives, this dissertation shows how these organizations have been shaped by broader movement goals, local geographies, socio-political structures, and the particular interests and energies of those who have nurtured their collections over the years.

    When Are Arms Races Dangerous? When Are Arms Races Charles L. Glaser Dangerous? Rational versus Suboptimal Arming Are arms races dan- gerous? This basic international relations question has received extensive at- tention.1 A large quantitative empirical literature addresses the consequences of arms races by focusing on whether they correlate with war, but remains divided on the answer.2 The theoretical literature falls into opposing camps: (1) arms races are driven by the security dilemma, are explained by the rational spiral model, and decrease security, or (2) arms races are driven by revisionist adversaries, explained by the deterrence model, and increase security.3 These Charles L.

    International Security at Twenty-ªve the Modern ªeld of International Security Studies Is Roughly Half a Century Old

    International Security at Steven E. Miller Twenty-ªve From One World to Another International Security at Twenty-ªve The modern ªeld of international security studies is roughly half a century old. It emerged after World War II and took hold in the 1950s.1 The journal International Security has spanned half that period, having now completed twenty-ªve years of publica- tion. During that time, the world and the ªeld have changed dramatically. We are not in the habit of utilizing the pages of this journal for introspective or self-referential ruminations, but it seems appropriate to mark the passage of a quarter-century with some reºections on the history of the journal, the evolu- tion of the ªeld within which it operates, and the altered world that the ªeld seeks to understand, explain, and perhaps even inºuence. Here, the aim is sim- ply to sketch suggestive snapshots of then and now, in the hope of conveying the magnitude and character of the changes that a quarter of a century has wrought. This exercise provides the opportunity to revisit some of the issues and articles that have justiªed and animated the pages of International Security over its ªrst twenty-ªve years.2 The Origins and Conception of International Security Nearly thirty years ago, then-President of the Ford Foundation McGeorge Bundy launched a major initiative to promote university-based research and Steven E.

    Dr. Mathias C. Williams: Early Settler of College Hill & Abolitionist The Strobridge Lithograph of College Hill c1860, showing the home and grounds of Dr. Mathias C. Williams in College Hill (lower right), as it would have appeared prior to being consumed in a fire in 1864. At left is the Farmers’ College and Cary’s Academy Buildings. Introduction When I was three years old, my parents purchased what was known as the Daniel B Pierson home, and later the Orville Simpson home. Growing up in an old house with a rolling landscape around it was a true joy. The old place, since christened as Tanglewood, has always held a special position for me. As an adult, this eventually meant delving into the history of the home and the families who inhabited it and shaped the landscape and architecture of which I have become the steward. Most all of the material began with Daniel B. Pierson and went forward; but I want to know what was there before that? Well, William Cary purchased 491 acres in Section 30 of Millcreek Township in 1813 at $7 per acre and that became the core of College Hill. Of these acres, he later sold 56 of them in 1819 to his half-brother John Strong, and a decade later the southernmost portion of that tract was made into a ten acre lot that would hold its form for nearly a century and become the residence of Daniel B. Pierson. In the recorded history of College Hill we have found that there have been many omissions.
