(hen and where were you born) DA8IDO6: Boston, on Aanuary 26th, 1944. 8 Q: All right. Let me start on your father&s side and then we&ll move to your mother&s side. (hat do you ,now about your father&s side of the family) DA8IDO6: 6ell, my father was born in Fall River. His two older brothers, just separated from him by a couple of years, had been born in Russia. So the family was new to the States when my father was born. His father died when he was a young boy, about 15-years-old. And he came to Boston, went to Northeastern University 4aw School at night, but graduated in the middle of the Depression and never really practiced law. He wound up running a small business for the rest of his life. y mother was also born in the States. Her family were recent immigrants as well. Q: They were immigrants from where) DA8IDO6: On my mother9s side, they came from 8ienna, but they had probably recently come there from somewhere else in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And she grew up in Boston, married my father. I have one older sister who was born about six years before me. Q: That&s all right. OK. (ell, let&s tal, a bit about being a ,id, what sort of elementary school and all. (hat school were you going to) DA8IDO6: I went to the Edward Devotion School, which although it sounds like it might have been a Catholic school, was actually the name of public elementary school in the Coolidge Corner area of Brookline. Edward Devotion was one of the early settlers of Brookline. Q: .eah, they had those sort of biblical sounding names. DA8IDO6: That9s correct. Q: (hat was the neighborhood li,e) I mean was it basically Jewish or was it Irish or -- DA8IDO6: Almost entirely Aewish and the homes were a combination of apartment houses and one or two-family homes on sort of leafy streets. It was a pleasant environment actually. Q: Oh yes. .ou didn&t have the three-dec,ers there, did you) DA8IDO6: No. It was a bit more upscale, not by much, than the neighborhoods with triple deckers. Q: How about what were the teachers li,e) DA8IDO6: It9s very interesting. They were almost entirely, in elementary school, spinster 6ASP ladies. There was a great emphasis on discipline. Not, not too much, but there was some of that. And when I think of it, it9s interesting that for these children and 9 grandchildren of immigrants, the teaching was really Euite waspy in a sense, a lot of 4ongfellow and other New Englanders. I remember singing songs like, —The British .renadiers,““ tow, row, row, row,“ that kind of -- Q: Oh yes, I thin, of Ale1ander. DA8IDO6: Ges. I also remember when

  • Gen John W. Vessey, Jr Interviewer: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D
    Narrator: Gen John W. Vessey, Jr Interviewer: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D. Date of interview: 19 February 2013 Location: Vessey residence, North Oaks, MN Transcribed by: Linda Gerber, May 2013 Edited for clarity by: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D., September 2013 and February 2014 (00:00:00) = elapsed time on digital recording TS: Today is Tuesday, 19 February 2013. This is another of our ongoing interview cycle with General John W. Vessey, Jr. My name is Thomas Saylor. Today we’re at the Vessey residence in North Oaks, Minnesota, on a bright, clear and very cold winter day. General Vessey, we wanted at first to add some additional information and perspective on Lebanon, going back to 1983. I’ll let you put the conversation in motion here. JV: After we talked last week I got to thinking that we hadn’t really explained as fully as we might have the confusion and the multiple points of view that existed both in the United States and in the world in general about Lebanon and our involvement. I’m not sure that what I remembered after you left will add any clarity to (chuckles) your reader’s understanding, but at least they’ll understand the muddled picture that I was looking at, at the time. TS: And that’s important, because even in the contemporary news accounts of the time there is a sense of confusion and wondering really what the Americans are trying to accomplish, as well as the fact that the Americans aren’t the only Western force even in Lebanon at the time.

  • Beyond Breard
    Beyond Breard By Erik G. Luna* Douglas J. Sylvester** I. INTRODUCTION Angel Francisco Breard was no angel. Seven years after coming to the United States on a student visa,' the Paraguayan citizen was arrested and tried for the murder of Ruth Dickie. Forensic evidence at the scene of the crime undeniably pointed towards Breard's guilt.2 The most damning evidence, how- ever, came from the defendant's own mouth. On the stand, Breard admitted that he had armed himself on the night of the crime because he "wanted to use the knife to force a woman to have sex with [him]." 3 He engaged Dickie in a con- versation on the street and followed her home. Breard then forced his way into the woman's apartment and brutally murdered her.4 Breard's only defense at trial was that he acted under a Satanic curse placed upon him by his former father-in-law.5 As one might expect, the jury spumed this defense and convicted Breard on all counts. During the subsequent penalty phase of the trial, the twelve-person panel learned that the defendant had previ- ously attempted to abduct one woman at knifepoint and had sexually assaulted another female victim. Based on his "future dangerousness" to society and the "vileness" of the murder, Breard was sentenced to death.6 After numerous state and federal appeals, the thirty-two year-old convicted murderer was executed by lethal injection on April 14, 1998. 7 Without more, the Breard case was destined to be a mere footnote in the annals of death penalty jurisprudence.

WHITESELL Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.1 INTRODUCTION The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations—a multilateral treaty signed by the president and ratified by the Senate2—delineates the rights of nations to conduct consular relations.3 Consular relations are the means by which nations protect the interests of their citizenry abroad, especially their nationals who are arrested for violating other nations’ criminal laws.4 The right to assist citizens charged with crimes abroad appears in Article 36 of the Vienna Convention. Article 36(1)(a) provides that countries may access and communicate with their citizens,5 and Article 36(1)(b) provides that, upon detention, foreign nationals must be informed that their consuls may assist them.6 Foreign nationals have contended that the Article 36(1)(b) Copyright © 2004 by Brittany P.

  • Exercising Diplomatic Protection the Fine Line Between Litigation, Demarches and Consular Assistance
    Exercising Diplomatic Protection The Fine Line Between Litigation, Demarches and Consular Assistance Annemarieke Künzli* I. Introduction The last Draft Article that was proposed by the Special Rapporteur to the Inter- national Law Commission for inclusion in the Draft Articles on Diplomatic Pro- tection concerns the relationship between diplomatic protection and consular as- sistance. International law distinguishes between (at least) two kinds of interna- tional relations.1 This is stipulated by the existence of two separate treaties: the two Vienna Conventions of 1961 and 1963 have codified the rules with respect to dip- lomatic and consular relations respectively.2 A fundamental difference is that a dip- lomatic agent is a political representative of a state, while a consular officer has no such function.3 As a consequence, the establishment of a consulate in non- recognised territories does not always imply recognition while establishing an em- bassy usually does and immunities granted to ambassadors are markedly different from those granted to consuls.4 In accordance with the two regimes applicable to international relations, international law recognises two kinds of protection states can exercise on behalf of their nationals: consular assistance and diplomatic protec- tion. There are fundamental differences between consular assistance and diplomatic protection. A persistent subject of debate and controversy however is the question of which activities by governments fall under diplomatic protection and which ac- tions do not. This debate is fuelled by an equally persistent misunderstanding of * Ph.D-fellow in Public International Law, Leiden University. The author wishes to thank Prof. John D u g a r d and Prof.

You have studied hard to achieve the goal for which we honor you-a degree from the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. Whatever your major-economics or art, English or Japanese, psychology or American Indian Studies­ you have been privileged to learn from, and with, some of the finest professors in the country.

My only advice to you now is to apply these values wisely and well: do what you love and follow your dreams. And remember, your first job out of college is just that-your first job. If the soothsayers are right, you will change careers several times in your lifetime. With your CLA education, you'll be ready when change comes; indeed, you'll be on the leading edge of change.
