Dutton Series Overview This China Maritime Report on Gwadar is the second in a series of case studies on China’s Indian Ocean “strategic strongpoints” (战略支点). People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.

  • Public Diplomacy Between Pakistan and India: an Analysis
    Pak. Journal of Int’L Affairs, Vol 2, Issue 1 (2019) Public Diplomacy between Pakistan… PUBLIC DIPLOMACY BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND INDIA: AN ANALYSIS Saeed Khan, Research Scholar, Department of International Relations, Federal Urdu University, Karachi Amna Ameer Ali, Research Scholar, Department of International Relations, Federal Urdu University, Karachi ([email protected]) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT Pakistan and India are known as great rival countries with a bitter past. There is a huge historical background of both countries. Infact, several wars have been fought between Pakistan and India, so the diplomatic relations between Indo-Pak are influenced by the number of political and historical events. But both countries tried so hard to maintain peace and there are some examples of these efforts. It is very important for both countries to maintain good relations because geopolitically Pakistan and India are considered as major states for natural resources in the region of South Asia. The whole world sees both countries as great rivals, but before making any decision there are a lot of perspectives which we need to examine carefully. This paper will explain some of the major events of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and India. KEYWORDS: Pakistan, India, Diplomacy, War, South Asia INTRODUCTION Pakistan and India are two neighboring states, both fully equipped with nukes but unfortunately, they never sustained the durable, friendly and long lasting peaceful relation with each other. The reason behind that situation is disbelief and mistrust between these two arch rivals. So far, four wars have been fought between India and Pakistan and this is the root cause of uncertainty among both countries.

  • THE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT PROGRAM April 13, 1951 Description
    THE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT PROGRAM April 13, 1951 Description: In the opening segment, ER and Elliott Roosevelt respond to a listener's question about the different commissions that are a part of the United Nations. In the interview segment, ER's guest is Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans. In a final segment, ER quotes a passage from the Declaration of Independence. Participants: ER, Elliott Roosevelt, Maurice Evans [ER:] How do you do? This is Eleanor Roosevelt speaking. It gives me great pleasure to visit with you as I do each day at this time from my living room atop the Park Sheraton Hotel overlooking New York. I'm grateful for the many encouraging letters you send me, and most happy that you find my guests both informative and entertaining as I do. Now my son Elliott, who assists me on these programs will speak to you. [Elliott Roosevelt] Yes I will Mother, thank you. Today's guest Mr. Maurice Evans [1901-1989] has brought Shakespearian plays to life for many people in many places but his role on today's program will be strictly Mr. Evans playing himself. Mrs. Roosevelt will introduce him a little later on the program but first we're going to look over the mail and also hear a message from the sponsors who make this recorded program possible. (Break 1:00-1:05) [Elliott Roosevelt:] Mother, today I have a request from Mrs. Tony Rosengarten of Point Pleasant Pennsylvania. She says she wants to learn much more from you about the United Nations, and especially about the different commissions, what is done and what could have been done.

  • THE NAFF COLLECTION (Location: Range 4, Section 5 – NR Workroom)
    THE NAFF COLLECTION (Location: Range 4, Section 5 – NR Workroom) The Naff Collection is an accumulation of programs, autographed photographs, posters, folders, booklets, announcements and a few other items which tell the story of professional theater in Nashville between the years 1900 and 1960. This material was collected by the late Mrs. L. C. Naff during the period in which she served as secretary to the Rice Bureau and later as manager of the Ryman Auditorium. She bequeathed the collection to Francis Robinson, assistant manager of the Metropolitan Opera, who began his career as an usher at the Ryman. On March 27, 1967, Mr. Robinson made the formal presentation of the collection to the Public Library of Nashville and Davidson County, Charles C. Trabue, chairman of the board, and Marshall Stewart, chief librarian. The public was invited to this ceremony at which the collection was on display. The materials had been listed by chronological periods and arranged by Ann Dorsey, head of the reference department, Edward Durham and Terry Hudson. After the material had remained on exhibit for one month, it was packed for storage. In January 1971, it was decided that the collection should be classified and indexed so that it might be more readily available to researchers and other interested parties. The holdings in the Naff Collection have been classified as follows: NAFF COLLECTION CLASSIFICATIONS Advertising Announcements Descriptive Folders Letters and Telegrams Librettos Newspaper Clippings Photographs Posters Programs: Concerts Dances Lectures Miscellaneous Musical Comedies Operas Operettas Orchestras Plays Recitals Souvenirs Variety Realia Scripts Souvenir Booklets The subject headings of the various collections will most likely lead to desired information, particularly if the medium of a performer is known.

In a world where the word where the word “legend” can get overused, let’s be clear. Carl Reiner was a legend. He started in comedy during WWII. He performed on stage, on the radio, on TV and movies. He did it all. He was on TV at a time when TV was this weird new thing that nobody was really sure what to do with. All that’s pretty amazing. The important thing is, though, that the stuff that Carl worked on—it’s really funny, still. He created The Dick Van Dyke Show, one of the greatest TV shows of all time. He co-wrote and directed Steve Martin’s The Jerk. And, you know, his best buddy was Mel Brookes—best buddy and collaborator. The two of them hung out together pretty much every day. Carl Reiner kept working right up until the end, too. One of my favorite recent things he did was on the television show Parks and Recreation. He played Ned Jones, the president of Pawnee Seniors United.
