Heavy Radicals
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HEAVY RADICALS Heavy Radicals is a concise and insightful history of a long- forgotten but vibrant radical movement. Leonard and Gallagher break new ground in revealing the extent to which law enforcement will go to infiltrate, destabilize and ultimately destroy domestic political organizations that espouse a philosophy counter to the status quo. To better understand the current state of domestic surveillance and political repression, from Occupy Wall Street to the Edward Snowden revelations, start with this little gem of a book. T.J. English, author of The Savage City and Havana Nocturne In this masterfully written and extensively researched book, Aaron Leonard with Conor A. Gallagher offers a no-nonsense critical analysis of one of the most resilient, misunderstood, and controversial anti-capitalist organizations of the last fifty years. This book is a MUST READ for anyone invested in nuancing their understanding of revolutionary political struggle and unrelenting state repression in the United States. Robeson Taj Frazier, author of The East Is Black: Cold War China in the Black Radical Imagination Based on impeccable research, Heavy Radicals explores the rise of the Revolutionary Communist Party in the late 1960s and 1970s. Militant Maoists, dedicated to revolutionary class struggle, the RCP was one of many organizations that fought to carry on the 60s struggle for radical change in the United States well after SDS and other more well known groups imploded. Leonard and Gallagher help us to understand how the RCP’s revolutionary ideology resonated with a small group of young Heavy Radicals: The FBI’s Secret War on America’s Maoists people in post-1968 America, took inspiration from the People’s Republic of China, and brought down the wrath of the FBI. -
City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous
City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous What’s Your City’s Claim to Fame? By Jeff Coy, ISHC Paris was the world’s most-visited city in 2010 with 15.1 million international arrivals, according to the World Tourism Organization, followed by London and New York City. What’s Paris got that your city hasn’t got? Is it the nickname the City of Love? Is it the slogan Liberty Started Here or the idea that Life is an Art with images of famous artists like Monet, Modigliani, Dali, da Vinci, Picasso, Braque and Klee? Is it the Cole Porter song, I Love Paris, sung by Frank Sinatra? Is it the movie American in Paris? Is it the fact that Paris has numerous architectural icons that sum up the city’s identity and image --- the Eiffel Tower, Arch of Triumph, Notre Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge and Palace of Versailles? Do cities need icons, songs, slogans and nicknames to become famous? Or do famous cities simply attract more attention from architects, artists, wordsmiths and ad agencies? Certainly, having an architectural icon, such as the Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, put Paris on the world map. But all these other things were added to make the identity and image. As a result, international tourists spent $46.3 billion in France in 2010. What’s your city’s claim to fame? Does it have an architectural icon? World’s Most Famous City Icons Beyond nicknames, slogans and songs, some cities are fortunate to have an architectural icon that is immediately recognized by almost everyone worldwide. -

David Reynolds—a Cambridge historian—has now filled the gap with a book that is as penetrating in its overarching analysis as it is rich in detail about individual encounters at the summit: the result is a study in international history at its very finest.” —Irish Times “Behind the narrative lies a muscular analytic mind.” —Sunday Times “Lucid, authoritative account of big-power diplomatic parleys from Munich to Camp David.” —Kirkus “Reynolds had the intriguing idea of examining the conflicts of the 20th century through the lens of its pivotal summit meetings. Given his Cambridge professorship and eight books on WWII and the Cold War (Command of History), the author’s thorough mastery of his subject is reflected in the fluency and assurance of the writing.” —Publishers Weekly “Author David Reynolds takes us on a virtual trek to the summit and back in a book that is as entertaining and eye-opening as it is instructive.” —Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 0465012756_FM.qxd:reynolds 2/6/09 1:47 PM Page b “This is an essential book for a deeper understanding and apprecia- tion of the difficulties and the possibilities of international summitry.” —Lincoln Journal Star “A fascinating look at historical events through this particular lens. ” —Library Journal “Masterly . required reading.” —Spectator “David Reynolds writes with pace and verve . -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 I SO 53 Abstract The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 was called by many observers of international affairs the end of the Cold War. However, fifteen years earlier, commentators such as Alistair Buchan had also declared the end of the Cold War. Was this just an premature error on Buchan's part or is there a link between the events of the early 1970s, which is referred to as the era of detente and those leading up to the collapse of the Berlin Wall? It is the intention of this thesis to argue that these periods are integrally related mainly by the fact that they were each periods when one of the two superpowers was forced to re evaluate their foreign policies. The re-evaluations were brought about by changes in the international arena, most importantly a change in the nature of military power. -

Sabine Plakolm E 251/3 Institut für Kunstgeschichte, Bauforschung und Denkmalpflege eingereicht an der Technischen Universität Wien Fakultät für Architektur und Raumplanung von Martina Machl 01026098 Wien, im November 2018 KurzFassung Die theoretische Diplomarbeit am Institut für Kunstgeschichte, Bauforschung und Denkmalpflege an der Technischen Universität Wien befasst sich mit dem Vienna InterContinental am Wiener Heumarktviertel zum Zeitpunkt seiner Eröffnung im März 1964 sowie dem Beitrag des Architekten Walter Jaksch. Um diesen erfassen und dokumentieren zu können, wurde der im Architekturzentrum Wien liegende Nachlass bearbeitet und ausgewertet. Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt auf der Ausarbeitung des architektonischen und soziokulturellen Wertes des Hotelgebäudes Vienna InterContinental, welches als 30. Hotel der internationalen Kette „InterContinental Hotels Group“, einer Tochtergesellschaft der Pan American World Airways, errichtet wurde. Ein Exkurs geht auf die Entwicklung der amerikanischen und europäischen Hotelbauten, sowie in die damalige Wiener Hotellerie ein. Das Vienna InterContinental war das erste Großhotel einer international tätigen Hotelkette, das in der Nachkriegszeit eröffnet wurde und damit auf den modernen internationalen Tourismus reagierte. Geplant wurde das Hotel von den amerikanischen Architekten Holabird&Root und ihren österreichischen Partnern Carl Appel und Walter Jaksch. -

It emphasises the crucial role played by the British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan and the Soviet Premier, Nikita Khrushchev, both of whom viewed the Berlin problem within the wider context of their mutual objectives of achieving detente and disarmament. The opening chapter analyses Soviet motivation for reactivating the Berlin question, and emphasises two factors behind Soviet policy: the maintenance of the status quo in Germany and Eastern Europe, and Soviet fears of the nuclearisation of the Bundeswehr. -
