  • Picking the Vice President
    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

    Short Documentaries on War in the Pacific • The Pacific: Historical Background Part 1 (HBO) • The Pacific: Anatomy of a War (HBO) Japanese Aggression Builds • In the early 1900s Japan had a severe lack of natural resources. • Their plan was to invade and conquer neighboring lands that had the natural resources that they wanted. • Japanese expansion in East Asia began in 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria and continued in 1937 with a brutal attack on China. • On September 27, 1940, Japan signed a pact with Germany and Italy, thus entering the military alliance known as the “Axis Powers.” • The United States wanted to curb Japan Vs. the Japan’s aggressive actions. • They also wanted to force a United States withdrawal of Japanese forces from Manchuria and China. • So, the United States imposed economic sanctions on Japan. • Japan now faced severe shortages of oil, along with their shortage of other natural resources. • The Japanese were also driven by the ambition to displace the United States as the dominant Pacific power. • To solve these issues, Japan decided to attack the United States and British forces in Asia and seize the resources of Southeast Asia. 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.

  • The Prez Quiz Answers
    PREZ TRIVIAL QUIZ AND ANSWERS Below is a Presidential Trivia Quiz and Answers. GRADING CRITERIA: 33 questions, 3 points each, and 1 free point. If the answer is a list which has L elements and you get x correct, you get x=L points. If any are wrong you get 0 points. You can take the quiz one of three ways. 1) Take it WITHOUT using the web and see how many you can get right. Take 3 hours. 2) Take it and use the web and try to do it fast. Stop when you want, but your score will be determined as follows: If R is the number of points and T 180R is the number of minutes then your score is T + 1: If you get all 33 right in 60 minutes then you get a 100. You could get more than 100 if you do it faster. 3) The answer key has more information and is interesting. Do not bother to take the quiz and just read the answer key when I post it. Much of this material is from the books Hail to the chiefs: Political mis- chief, Morals, and Malarky from George W to George W by Barbara Holland and Bland Ambition: From Adams to Quayle- the Cranks, Criminals, Tax Cheats, and Golfers who made it to Vice President by Steve Tally. I also use Wikipedia. There is a table at the end of this document that has lots of information about presidents. THE QUIZ BEGINS! 1. How many people have been president without having ever held prior elected office? Name each one and, if they had former experience in government, what it was.

MEDINA Dr. David L. Brunsma, Thesis Advisor MAY 2007 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled THEORIZING AMERICAN GIRL Presented by Veronica E. Medina A candidate for the degree of Master of Arts, And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor David L. Brunsma Professor Mary Jo Neitz Professor Lisa Y. Flores DEDICATION My journey to and through the master’s program has never been a solitary one. My family has accompanied me every step of the way, encouraging and supporting me: materially and financially, emotionally and spiritually, and academically. From KU to MU, you all loved me and believed in me throughout every endeavor. This thesis is dedicated to my family, and most especially, to my parents Alicia and Francisco Medina. Mom and Dad: As a child, I often did not recognize and, far too often, took for granted the sacrifices that you made for me. Sitting and writing a thesis is a difficult task, but it is not as difficult as any of the tasks you two undertook to ensure my well-being, security, and happiness and to see me through to this goal. For all of the times you went without (and now, as an adult, I know that there were many) so that we would not, thank you.

  • Preview of Midnight in Lonesome Hollow a Kit Kittredge American Girl Mystery
    Preview of Midnight In Lonesome Hollow A Kit Kittredge American Girl Mystery Written by Kathleen Ernst Published by American Girl Books 2007 Kit is visiting Aunt Millie in 1934. When a professor arrives to study Kentucky mountain traditions, Kit is thrilled to help her with her research—until it becomes clear that somebody doesn’t want “outsiders” nosing around. Kit decides to find out who’s making trouble…even if it means venturing into Lonesome Hollow in the dark of night. Girls will enjoy solving the mystery right along with Kit. This book includes an illustrated “Looking Back” section to provide historical context. Kit heard the stream’s swishy-whish, swishy-whish song before she glimpsed it through the trees. “Isn’t this Lonesome Branch, that leads to the Craig place?” she asked. “I’ve been looking forward to seeing Fern and Johnny all day.” “It sure is,” Aunt Millie said. “Whoa, Serena!” The mule ambled to a halt on the steep trail. Aunt Millie looked down at Kit, who’d been walking beside the mule. “You’ve learned your way around these parts pretty well.” Kit grinned. “It’s been fun visiting people with our traveling library!” “This will be our last stop today,” Aunt Millie said. “Climb up and hold on!” Kit swung into place on the mule and wrapped her arms around Aunt Millie’s waist. Serena trotted down the bank, splashed into the shallow water, and began picking her way upstream. Kit sucked in a deep breath of mountain air, happy to be exactly where she was.

What began as a simple catalogue and doll company has expanded a widely-known company, creating dolls inspired by America’s own history (now known as the BeForever line). Some of our most popular brands and trademarks include: • BeForever™: American Girl’s signature line of historical dolls, connecting girls ages 8 and up with inspiring characters and timeless stories based 0n America’s history. The BeForever collection currently includes Kaya©, Caroline©, Josefina©, Addy©, Samantha©, Rebec- ca©, Kit©, and Julie©.

  • E-Sources on Women & Gender
    E-SOURCES ON WOMEN & GENDER Look what the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA) and MS. Magazine have put together: a 2009 GUIDE TO WOMEN’S AND GENDER STUDIES programs. Starting from the website of either NWSA (www.nwsa.org/msmag) or MS. (www.msmagazine.com/womensstudies), you can search by state, type of degree offered, or name of institution. Did you know that there are twenty-three colleges and universities in Wisconsin listed as offering women’s/gender studies? They range from the likes of Carthage College, which has a sprinkling of undergraduate courses but no minor or major, to the UW–Madison with its free-standing undergraduate major and master’s degree (as well as an undergrad minor and a graduate certificate). If your institution is not listed, contact NWSA to be added to the database. ALICE WALKER’S GARDEN at www.alicewalkersgarden.com is the official website for the well-known writer. It includes an official biography by the officers of the Alice Walker Literary Society, photos, information about the books, a selection of previously unpublished poems, links to the author’s blog, and a reflection about how she learned on a visit to South Korea to approach being in her sixties. Among the many things I didn’t know until compiling this column: The director of the movie Kit Kittredge: An American Girl is a Canadian woman: Patricia Rozema, who also happens to have directed, among many other films, the fabulous I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing (1987). Pick up hundreds of tidbits like these and find some fascinating films by browsing or searching the CANADIAN WOMEN FILM DIRECTORS DATABASE (http://femfilm.ca), created by University of Toronto librarian Margaret Fulford.
