    ARAB TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2021 INTERNATIONAL 6 Weather ‘At least one dead’ Ida traps Louisianans, leaves grid in disarray NEW ORLEANS, Aug 30, (AP): Rescue work- ers set out in hundreds of boats and helicopters to reach people trapped by fl oodwaters and utility crews mobilized Monday after a furious Hurricane Ida swamped the Louisiana coast and shattered a large swath of the state’s electrical grid in the sweltering, late-summer heat. One of the most powerful hurricanes ever to hit the U.S. mainland weakened into a tropical storm overnight as it pushed in- land over Mississippi with torrential rain and shrieking winds, its danger far from over. Ida was blamed for at least one death - someone hit by a falling tree outside Baton Rouge - but with many roads impassable and cellphone service knocked out in places, the full extent Edwards of its fury was still coming into focus. All of New Orleans lost power right around sunset Sunday as the hurricane blew ashore on the 16th anniversary of Katrina, leading to an uneasy night of pouring rain and howling wind. The weather died down shortly before dawn, and people began carefully walking around neigh- borhoods with fl ashlights, dodging downed light poles, pieces of roofs and branches. “I had a long miserable night,” said Chris At- kins, who was in his New Orleans home when he heard a “kaboom” and all the sheetrock in the liv- Traffi c diverts around downed power lines Monday, Aug 30, 2021, in Metairie, La.

  • The Tumultuous Sixties, 1960–1968
    CHAPTER 26 The Tumultuous Sixties, 1960–1968 CHAPTER SUMMARY Chapter 26 examines the impact of the tumultuous 1960s on American society. President Kennedy’s policies and actions in the field of foreign policy were shaped by his acceptance of the containment doctrine and his preference for a bold, interventionist foreign policy. In its quest for friends in the Third World and ultimate victory in the Cold War, the Kennedy administration adopted the policy of “nation building” that, through such agencies as the Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps, would “help developing nations through the early stages of nationhood.” The Kennedy administration also adopted the concept of “counterinsurgency,” which was intended “to defeat revolutionaries who challenged pro-American Third World governments.” Such policies perpetuated an idea that had long been part of American foreign policy: that other people cannot solve their own problems and that the American economic and governmental model can be transferred intact to other societies. Historian William Appleman Williams believed that such thinking led to “the tragedy of American diplomacy,” and historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. refers to it as “a ghastly illusion.” Although Kennedy’s activist approach to foreign policy helped bring the world to the brink of nuclear disaster in the Cuban missile crisis, in the aftermath of that crisis steps were taken by both superpowers that served to lessen tension and hostility between them. However, the arms race accelerated during both the Kennedy and Johnson years, and the United States and the Soviet Union continued to vie for friends in the Third World. Young African Americans, through sit-ins, reinvigorated the civil rights movement.

On June 5, 1968, a few minutes after midnight, Robert Kennedy was shot and killed at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles while walking through a narrow serving area called “the pantry.” Kennedy had just won the California primary and was on his way to a room where print media reporters were waiting to hear him speak. In early March, Lyndon B. Johnson had thrown open the race by announcing that he would not seek re-election because of the failure of his Vietnam policy. Kennedy emerged as a leading contender by energizing the youth wing of the party with his calls for sweeping social change. Kennedy was in many ways a strange liberal icon because he grew up idolizing Herbert Hoover, was closest in his family to his father, Joseph, the millionaire business tycoon, began his career supporting Joseph McCarthy’s anti-communist witch-hunt, called for victory | 1 against communism in Vietnam in the early 1960s, and oversaw a terrorist campaign designed to overthrow the Cuban government.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Was Murdered by a Lone Gunman Acting out His Own

Kennedy was murdered by a lone gunman acting out his own frustrations rather than following someone else's, according to a new book on the 1968 assassination. In --The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy," author Dan Moldea rejects multiple-gunman theories and dismisses assertions that the convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, had been hypnotized or programmed to commit the crime. "Sirhan Bishara Sirhan consciously and knowingly murdered Senator Robert Kennedy, and he acted alone," Moldea concludes. Other students of the assassination dispute Moldea's findings, saying he lacks the evidence to back up his conclusions. What makes the book notable is that Moldea, an investigative reporter who has been working on the RFK case since the mid-1980s, rejects his own earlier suspicion that the assassination was a conspiracy by more than one gunman The assassination took place shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, moments after a speech celebrating the New York senator's victory in the California presidential primary. Witnesses saw Sirhan fire the first shot.
