But, the press ended up being the real battlefield, and Disney surrendered. 2."Can Your Cellular Phone Really Cause Cancer?" - This stupid rumor, first heard on a talk show, cost the cellular phone companies a lot of time and money. But, the Cellular Phone Association had a long term strategy and buried the negative news with positive images. A cautionary word included for those who write manuals. 3.

Lina Abircfeh April 2008 Abstract This research addresses gender-focused international aid in Afghanistan in the aftermath of conflict, focusing on the period of the Bonn Agreement (December 2001 - September 2005). The investigation begins with a contextualized understanding of women in Afghanistan to better understand their role in social transformations throughout history. This history is in some measure incompatible with the discourse on Afghan women that was created by aid institutions to justify aid interventions. Such a discourse denied Afghan women’s agency, abstracting them from their historical and social contexts. In so doing, space was created tor the proposed intervention using a discourse of transformation.

    1 “Reality” Is Splitting I n April 2004, a dozen men traveled from cities across the country to attend a clandestine meeting in a quaint, tucked- away corner of Dallas. The men were in their late fifties and early sixties, and they had about them a similar look: weathered yet tough. For more than thirty years, they had led divergent lives, but they were here to revisit their shared past—the crucible of Vietnam. John Kerry, the Massachusetts senator and decorated Vietnam veteran, had recently emerged as leader in the con- test for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. Like Kerry, the men in Dallas had once served on navy Swift boats, the shallow-water craft used in dangerous counterinsurgency missions aroundCOPYRIGHTED the Mekong Delta, in MATERIAL southeastern Vietnam, between 1968 and 1970. These men couldn’t stand the thought of their fellow vet becoming president. When they considered the manner in which Kerry, as a young man, had protested the 9 10 TRUE ENOUGH war, words like traitor and criminal came to mind. Now they hatched an audacious plan to undo Kerry’s reputation as a hero. Here’s the amazing thing: it worked. The men gathered in a grand two-story mansion that func- tions as the headquarters of Spaeth Communications, a public relations firm founded by a brilliant PR expert named Merrie Spaeth. Spaeth had agreed to host the meeting at the request of her old friend John O’Neill, the Swift boat veteran who rose to prominence in 1971, when he and Kerry debated the war in an appearance on The Dick Cavett Show.
