Japan Attacks Pearl Harbor • However, because America is bigger and more powerful than Japan, a surprise assault is the only realistic way to defeat the U.S. • Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands on December 7, 1941. • When the first Japanese bombs struck Pearl Harbor shortly before eight in the morning, the American forces were utterly unprepared. • Anchored ships, such as the Nevada, the Utah, and the Arizona, provided easy targets for bombs and torpedoes.

  • Who Watches the Watchmen? the Conflict Between National Security and Freedom of the Press
    WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO I see powerful echoes of what I personally experienced as Director of NSA and CIA. I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance. Ross’s study is a welcome and timely addition to the small body of literature examining this important subject. —Gabriel Schoenfeld Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute Author of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law (W.W. Norton, May 2010). ? ? The topic of unauthorized disclosures continues to receive significant attention at the highest levels of government. In his book, Mr. Ross does an excellent job identifying the categories of harm to the intelligence community associated NI PRESS ROSS GARY with these disclosures. A detailed framework for addressing the issue is also proposed. This book is a must read for those concerned about the implications of unauthorized disclosures to U.S. national security. —William A. Parquette Foreign Denial and Deception Committee National Intelligence Council Gary Ross has pulled together in this splendid book all the raw material needed to spark a fresh discussion between the government and the media on how to function under our unique system of government in this ever-evolving information-rich environment.

Previously in 2019, Australians briefly, and mostly clumsily, revisited some of the lines of earlier debates they had about the potential gains and dangers of developing the nuclear fuel cycle for power generation. These debates were stirred partly by debatable claims about casualties (and inferred lessons) made in the popular HBO television mini-series, Chernobyl, recalling the nuclear plant disaster of 1986 and partly by the publication by Defence expert Hugh White of a book, How to Defend Australia, asking if it was time for Australians to consider arming themselves with nuclear weapons. With a mind for the clumsiness of debate that followed and for the lack of historical content therein (even quite recent developments) I explore in this paper 南半球評論 8 2019 whether the legacies of Australia’s nuclear past, including the great secrecy surrounding testing of weapons in the 1950s and 1960s, and subsequent clean- ups, have impacted in particular ways that have ongoing ramifications for policy relating to uranium mining and nuclear energy.

IT’S AN HONOUR TO DELIVER THE INAUGURAL HELEN WILLIAMS ORATION AND PARTICULARLY PLEASED TO BE THE FIRST SPEAKER IN THE WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP SERIES. TOGETHER WE HONOUR HELEN AS A GROUNDBREAKER IN BECOMING THE FIRST FEMALE SECRETARY OF A FEDERAL DEPARTMENT. I REMEMBER HER AS THE EDUCATION SECRETARY, PERSONALLY ENGAGING WITH PEOPLE ACROSS THE SECTOR AND ARGUING THE CASE FOR WIDESPREAD REFORM. AND THEN AS SECRETARY OF THE DEPT OF TOURISM WHEN SUCH A BEAST EXISTED! IT WAS IMPRESSIVE SEEING ONE OF THE FEW FEMALE FACES AT EXECUTIVE LEVELS, UNDER MUCH SCRUTINY, AND OUT AND ABOUT AT THE POINTY END OF CHANGE. SHE CHANGED THE SENSE OF POSSIBILITY FOR WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR – “YOU CAN’T BE WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE”. SHE COPPED FLACK FOR ONLY TAKING 6 MONTHS MATERNITY LEAVE AND THE TERM FEMOCRAT WAS COINED TO DESCRIBE HER! IN PAYING TRIBUTE TO HELEN, WE IMPLICITLY RECOGNIZE THE PUBLIC SECTOR AS A GROUNDBREAKER IN PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN. WHEN HELEN WAS APPOINTED THERE WERE NO FEMALE CEOS IN AUSTRALIA – BUSINESS HAD YET TO MAKE THAT LEAP, TO BE COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO DO SO, BECAUSE IT DOES TAKE COURAGE. (INTERESTINGLY OF COURSE WHEN BUSINESSES DID SHIFT, THEY RECRUITED MANY WOMEN EXECUTIVES HERE IN CANBERRA, INCLUDING ME.) THIS EVENING WE CELEBRATE WOMEN AS LEADERS, AS ACHIEVERS AND CHANGE MAKERS.

  • HBO Signature Schedules Marathon of BAND of BROTHERS and the PACIFIC to Commemorate the 75Th Anniversary of the End of World War II
    HBO Signature schedules marathon of BAND OF BROTHERS and THE PACIFIC to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II Miami, FL., August 27, 2020 – On September 2, 1945, Japan signed their unconditional surrender and ended World War II, one of the biggest horrors experienced by humanity. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of this event that marked the course of history, HBO Signature will broadcast a special marathon of BAND OF BROTHERS and THE PACIFIC, two epic productions with different views on the pain and harshness of the battlefield, which brought together two great talents from the film industry: Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. All episodes of THE PACIFIC and BAND OF BROTHERS will be able for viewing on September 1 and 2, respectively, starting at 12:00 pm, on HBO Signature. BAND OF BROTHERS is based on the bestseller of the same name by Stephen E. Ambrose, and follows the trajectory of the members of the Easy Company, an elite group of American paratroopers who fought in Europe during World War II. The fiction is complemented by moving testimonies from real-life survivors from the battalion, as well as by memories from journalists of the time and by letters from the soldiers. The characters in BAND OF BROTHERS are inspired by these war veterans and by their shocking memories of the war. This blockbuster focuses on the stories of companionship between these brothers while on the battlefield and the bonds they forged during their traumatic experience, as well as on the brutality depicted in the stories about the war and the devastating fear of the young soldiers in the trenches.

  • The “Sopranos State”? North Korean Involvement in Criminal Activity and Implications for International Security
    THE “SOPRANOS STATE”? NORTH KOREAN INVOLVEMENT IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY SHEENA E. CHESTNUT HONORS PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND COOPERATION STANFORD UNIVERSITY 20 MAY 2005 ii Abstract North Korea has a decades-long record of official involvement in drug trafficking, is reported to produce the world’s best counterfeit $100 bills, and allegedly manufactures counterfeit products such as cigarettes and pharmaceuticals. Amid discussions of the regime’s nuclear and missile programs, economic mismanagement, and appalling human rights record, however, the structure and importance of criminal activity in the D.P.R.K. has been overlooked. This thesis first attempts to establish an empirical basis for assessing North Korean involvement, and second seeks to answer interpretive questions about the nature and significance of the D.P.R.K.’s relationship to criminal activity. It concludes that the D.P.R.K. government is engaged in systematic pursuit of criminal activity distributed across different organizations within North Korea and probably managed by organs of the Central Party Committee. The regime’s pursuit of such activity appears to be primarily for the purposes of financial survival and is highly adaptable. Illicit activity’s role in financing the North Korean regime, and in connecting it to transnational networks of criminal organizations, raise serious implications for a range of international security issues, including the current negotiations and the risk of nuclear transfer. In addition, this behavior calls into question the assumption found in political science literature that criminality is a result of state weakness, and calls for a revised understanding of the relationship between the strength of domestic institutions and state employment of transnational criminal activity.

Tutkimalla yhteisöjen ja kollektiivisten kokemusten representaatioita yhdysvaltalaisessa modernistisessa kirjallisuustraditiossa selvitän, miten kollektiivisuuden poetiikkaa on tuotettu tietyssä historiallisessa ja kulttuurisessa kontekstissa. Koska tutkimuskysymykseni on laaja, rajaan työni käsittelemään teoksia, jotka edustavat paikallismodernismin (regional modernism) ja novellisekvenssin (short story sequence) genrejä. Kohdeteokseni kattavat noin sadan vuoden mittaisen ajanjakson modernismin kulta-ajalta, 1900-luvun alkupuoliskolta, aina sen 2000- luvun nykyseuraajiin asti. Kahtena tärkeimpänä kohdeteoksena, ja tämän ajanjakson ääripäinä, toimivat Sherwood Andersonin Winesburg, Ohio (1919) ja Elizabeth Stroutin Olive Kitteridge (2008).
