This would present some security problems, but both Scowcroft and Kissinger believe this to be the best of the available alternatives. DOD would pick up the approximate $330 per week round trip cost.

  • Farewell, Mr. President Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon
    Farewell, Mr. President Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon Nixon Library Announces Special Exhibit Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon YORBA LINDA, CALIFORNIA - The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum will commemorate President Nixon’s 1994 State Services with a new display of artifacts and dramatic photographs that tell the story of the events that lead to the passing of the 37th President and the formal memorial that followed in his honor at his Library in Yorba Linda. The services brought U.S. Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton and their First Ladies to Yorba Linda, as well as hundreds of foreign and U.S. congressional leaders, thousands of admirers and millions of television viewers who watched from around the globe. “May the day of judging President Nixon on anything less than his entire life and career come to a close,” President Clinton said in a moving eulogy. Senator Bob Dole declared “the second half of the 20th century will be known as the age of Nixon.” Dr. Henry Kissinger commended the President as a statesman. “In the conduct of foreign policy, Richard Nixon was one of the seminal presidents.” Following the President’s passing on April 22, 1994, the Nixon Library immediately became the place for the public to pay tribute and remember his nearly 50 years of public service. More than 50,000 mourners waited in line for many hours to see the flag-draped casket that laid in repose in the museum, surrounded by a Marine Corps Joint Services Honor Guard.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

The advantage here is that we can concentrate on what happens to non-fringe, everyday lives and relationships after a great crisis. A crisis that was indeed a holocaust. What I gleaned here from Cerda is that people are just as petty and unsatisfied whether or not their country has been a victim of mass state-sponsored murder. This isn't a negative against the author, however. La Casa Vacia crafted realistic characters, characters that have grown up La Casa Vacia post-materialist dreams couched in philosophy studies and philosophers, characters that have bought completely the morality sold to them by the monsters that later perpetrate the atrocity, only to complain about it later when morality is no shield from the horror, no excuse, and no harbinger of justice.

  • The President Will See Whom Now? Presidential Engagement with Organized Interests*
    The President Will See Whom Now? Presidential Engagement with Organized Interests* David Miller June 29, 2021 Abstract Though presidents often publicly criticize organized interests, they also expend substantial effort engaging with those interests. Utilizing original elite interviews, a survey of lobbyists, and large-N administrative data, I consider how engagement manifests, what motivates presidents to engage interests, and with which interests presidents engage. Unlike in other institutions, presidents, not interests, exercise primary control over engagement decisions, and they engage to mobilize interests' institutional resources in service of their goals. To optimize mobiliza- tion, presidents focus engagement on interests with large resource endowments and who share presidents' preferences. Pairing over 7 million White House visitor log entries from two presiden- cies with lobbying and campaign finance records, I demonstrate that presidential engagement is informed by interests' electoral and policy resources and partisan alignment. My findings highlight coalition-building with interests as an under-appreciated utensil in the presidential toolkit and suggest that presidential engagement amplifies the political voice of well-resourced and copartisan interests. Word Count: 11,978 *I thank Dan Butler, Josh Clinton, Thomas Holyoke, David Lewis, Kenneth Lowande, Yu Ouyang, Andrew Reeves, Erin Rossiter, Andrew Stone, Katie Tenpas, Sharece Thrower, participants in the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions seminar series at Vanderbilt University and Political Science Data Lab at Washington University in St. Louis, and panel members at the 2018 Southern Political Science Association annual meeting and the 2020 American Political Science Association Money in Politics pre-conference for helpful guidance and feedback on this project.

Among these measures was the first peacetime wage- price freeze in our history. In prescribing the 90-day freeze, I set down several guiding principles: we would move toward a greater sta- bility of wages and prices, but we would do this without fastening on the Nation a permanent straitjacket of con- trols and without creating a huge bureaucracy. These principles prompted the establishment of the interagency Cost of Living Council under the chairmanship of the Secretary of the Treasury, the designation of the Office of Emergency Preparedness as the central instrument to administer the freeze, and the reliance upon the coordi- nated teamwork of the other Federal departments and agencies. Under the leadership of Director George A. Lincoln, the Office of Emergency Preparedness succeeded in holding the line while we worked out the longer term measures needed to maintain wage-price moderation and improve our position in the changing world economy.
