PURPOSE& PROGRAM ADL: Yesterday and Today The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith is one of the nation's oldest and leading human rela­ tions agencies. It is dedicated in purpose and program to translating this country's heritage of democratic ideals into a way of life for all Americans in our time. AD L was founded in 1913 with a handful of stationery, two desks in a Chicago law office, and a group of determined volunteers who set as its goal "to end the defamation of the Jewish people ... to secure justice and fair treatment for all citizens alike." Overt and unabashed anti-Semitism was the order of the day: resort advertising that read, "No do~! No Jews!"; offensive caricatures of Jews in magazine cartoons; crude and cruel stereotypes on stage and screen; best-seller circulation of such anti­ Semitic documents as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"; the trial by prejudice of Leo Frank, a "Yankee Jew" accused of rape and murder in Atlanta, Ga., a few years after the Bellus "ritual murder" case in Russia.

  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

  • Human Longing Is for Nothing Less Than the Reconciliation of Time and Place
    uman longing is for nothing less than the reconciliation of time and place, of past and future, of the many and the one, of the living and the dead. HBoston is precious because it lives in the national imagination, and increasingly the world’s, just so— as a still brilliant map of America’s good hope. —James Carroll from Mapping Boston Helping to Build The Good City The Boston Foundation works closely with its donors to make real, measurable change in some of the most important issues of our day. A number of key areas of community life benefited from the Foundation’s “Understanding Boston” model for social change in 2005: Research This year, the Foundation’s third biennial Boston Indicators Report identified the key competitive issues facing Boston and the region and offered an emerging civic agenda. The Foundation also released the third annual “Housing Report Card” and a report on ways for towns and cities to build affordable housing without increasing school costs. Other reports focused on goals for Boston Harbor and the Waterfront—and the impact and role of Greater Boston’s higher education institutions through the Carol R. Goldberg Seminar. Major Convenings All Boston Foundation reports are released at forums attracting thousands of people every year. In 2005 alone, the Foundation held some 20 forums on a diverse set of issues—including two major housing convenings, sessions focused on strengthening the nonprofit sector and community safety—and forums examining the effects of the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina on national and local philanthropy. Task Forces Task Forces of experts and stakeholders are convened and facilitated by the Foundation.

  • Republicans' Mexican-American Presidential Candidate: Mitt Romney?
    Republicans’ Mexican-American Presidential Candidate: Mitt Romney? By Ted J. Chiappari and Angelo A. Paparelli* Four years ago, one of the challenges to President Barack Obama’s Constitutional eligibility for the presidency as a “natural born Citizen” was based on his ostensible dual citizenship at birth and the divided loyalties1 that can result from multiple citizenships. More recently, Mitt Romney’s Mexican heritage made it into the news because of Newt Gingrich’s claim that Romney was “anti- immigrant.”2 Reports of Mitt Romney’s eligibility for Mexican citizenship appeared around the same time.3 With the suspension of Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign and Newt Gingrich’s concession that Mitt Romney will probably be the Republican Party’s 2012 candidate, Romney and Obama are beginning in earnest to highlight their differences. Since both candidates are facing the potential liability of having a father born abroad (George Romney in Mexico and Barack Obama Sr. in Kenya) from whom eligibility for dual citizenship may flow, it is unlikely that either candidate will wish to highlight his opponent’s transnational ties. If they did, as unlikely as it may be, a brief reflection on the issue could result in a new appreciation of the intricacies of the U.S. citizenship laws. In the wake of the last presidential election, we explored the complexities of U.S. citizenship law in connection with the candidacies of both Senator John McCain – born in the Panama Canal Zone – and then President-Elect Obama.4 Given Mitt Romney’s birth in Detroit, no one is questioning that he is a “natural born Citizen” eligible to be President pursuant to Article II of the 1 Competing loyalties have long been a concern in policy and legal arguments against dual citizenship.
