  • How USAF's Missile Program Helped the Nation Off the Pad
    Iii ANNIVERSARY There was no lack of rocketry art when Sputnik jolted the US and the free world. The Army, Navy, and Air Force had all been working with missiles for some years, and many rocket spe- cialists had foreseen the future significance of space. But the national capabilities were splintered. As NASA came into being, with a strong need for large-scale program know-how, it was the Air Force, fresh from its missile management experience, that could offer the most useful aid in getting the space program under way . How USAF's Missile Program Helped the Nation off the Pad BY WILLIAM LEA VITT ASSOCIATE EDITOR, AIR FORCE/SPACE DIGEST "From this effort has emerged not only the major portion of our national missile force but also the prime base of technology and management skill underpinning the total national space effort. Many of our space accomplishments to date—both military and civilian—simply could not have been undertaken successfully with- out the prior experience gained in the Air Force missile development program." —SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE EUGENE M. ZUCKERT T IS a fact, documented in the public prints, Just one aspect of this sizable Air Force role has in congressional reports, and above all, on been the large number of Air Force officers who have launch pads and tracking sites around the served the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis- world, that the US Air Force has made mas- tration on direct loan or in supportive Air Force efforts, sive contributions of men, hardware, and since the civilian space agency's establishment in 1958.

  • Chapter 6.Qxd
    CHAPTER 6: The NASA Family The melding of all of the NASA centers, contractors, universities, and often strong personalities associated with each of them into the productive and efficient organization necessary to complete NASA’s space missions became both more critical and more difficult as NASA turned its attention from Gemini to Apollo. The approach and style and, indeed, the personality of each NASA center differed sharply. The Manned Spacecraft Center was distinctive among all the rest. Fortune magazine suggested in 1967 that the scale of NASA’s operation required a whole new approach and style of management: “To master such massively complex and expensive problems, the agency has mobilized some 20,000 individual firms, more than 400,000 workers, and 200 colleges and universities in a combine of the most advanced resources of American civilization.” The author referred to some of the eight NASA centers and assorted field installations as “pockets of sovereignty” which exercised an enormous degree of independence and autonomy.1 An enduring part of the management problem throughout the Mercury and Gemini programs that became compounded under Apollo, because of its greater technical challenges, was the diversity and distinctiveness of each of the NASA centers. The diverse cultures and capabilities represented by each of the centers were at once the space program’s greatest resource and its Achilles’ heel. NASA was a hybrid organization. At its heart was Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory established by Congress in 1917 near Hampton, Virginia, and formally dedicated in 1920. It became the Langley Research Center. Langley created the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory at Moffett Field, California, in 1939.

  • Durchbruch Des Fundamentalismus? Ein Neues Gesicht Der Orthodoxie Im Judentum Ungarns
    Larissza Hrotkó Durchbruch des Fundamentalismus? Ein neues Gesicht der Orthodoxie im Judentum Ungarns DEUTSCH ABSTRACT Am Beispiel des gegenwärtigen ungarischen Judentums behandelt dieser Beitrag den religiösen Fundamentalismus als eine moderne gesellschaft- liche und kulturelle Erscheinung. Theologisch gesehen kann der Funda- mentalismus auch als eine patriarchale Protestbewegung betrachtet wer- den, die die religiöse Tradition im Interesse der Machterhaltung miss- braucht. Die Orthodoxie nimmt im fundamentalistischen Konzept einen besonderen Platz ein. Sie kann sich manchmal den Verhältnissen und Bedürfnissen moderner europäischer Gesellschaften anpassen und ein frauenfreund liches, ja sogar demokratisches Gesicht zeigen. Diese Form der Ortho doxie wird im Artikel als Neo-Orthodoxie bezeichnet. Die De- mokratie in einer neo-orthodoxen Gemeinschaft ist aber nur eine schein- bare, denn die wirkliche Macht konzentriert sich bei den Rabbinern, die entscheiden, wieviel Freiheit den Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft und ins- besondere den Frauen zugestanden wird. Zurzeit scheinen der Einfluss der jüdischen Neo-Orthodoxie und somit die Gefahr des Durchbruchs des Fun- damentalismus in Ungarn zu steigen. Die nicht-orthodoxen jüdischen Ge- meinschaften sind dagegen nicht aktiv genug und beschäftigen sich wenig mit der Stärkung ihrer eigenen jüdischen Identität. ENGLISH A fundamentalist revolution?

I’m incredibly grateful for the time she took to share her knowledgeable insight and provide thorough feedback. Committee members Dr. Jason Weems and Dr. Catherine Gudis also brought valuable depth to my project through their knowledge of American architecture, urbanism, and preservation.

  • Not for the Uncommitted: the Alliance of Figurative Artists, 1969–1975 By
    Not for the Uncommitted: The Alliance of Figurative Artists, 1969–1975 By Emily D. Markert Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Curatorial Practice California College of the Arts April 22, 2021 Not for the Uncommitted: The Alliance of Figurative Artists, 1969–1975 Emily Markert California College of the Arts 2021 From 1969 through the early 1980s, hundreds of working artists gathered on Manhattan’s Lower East Side every Friday at meetings of the Alliance of Figurative Artists. The art historical canon overlooks figurative art from this period by focusing on a linear progression of modernism towards medium specificity. However, figurative painters persisted on the periphery of the New York art world. The size and scope of the Alliance and the interests of the artists involved expose the popular narrative of these generative decades in American art history to be a partial one promulgated by a few powerful art critics and curators. This exploration of the early years of the Alliance is divided into three parts: examining the group’s structure and the varied yet cohesive interests of eleven key artists; situating the Alliance within the contemporary New York arts landscape; and highlighting the contributions women artists made to the Alliance. Keywords: Post-war American art, figurative painting, realism, artist-run galleries, exhibitions history, feminist art history, second-wave feminism Acknowledgments and Dedication I would foremost like to thank the members of my thesis committee for their support and guidance. I am grateful to Jez Flores-García, my thesis advisor, for encouraging rigorous and thoughtful research and for always making time to discuss my ideas and questions.
