  • La Casa Pacifica San Clemente, California Introduction
    LA CASA PACIFICA SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA INTRODUCTION La Casa Pacifica, originally known as the Cotton Estate, holds a prominent place in California history. From the 1880s to the 1930s, the Golden State’s southern coastline experienced a development boom. In fact, Southern California’s romantic renown is largely a result of what was built during this fifty-year period. Three of the state’s most ambitious and progressive master-planned communities constructed in the 1920s — Ojai, Rancho Santa Fe, and San Clemente — displayed California’s limitless potential. Ole Hanson, San Clemente’s founder, had envisioned the seaside enclave to be a modern city reminiscent of southern Spain, which shared a similar climate with coastal Southern California. The developer drew his inspiration from Mediterranean locales famous for their sun-dappled white stucco buildings, covered with red-tiled roofs, lush citrus groves and gardens, and endless ocean views. Hanson had exhaustively researched several oceanfront land offerings before selecting a serene stretch of coastline, replete with gentle hills rolling down to a golden shore. Once he secured the land, Hanson and his investor-partner, the successful and politically connected financier and oilman Hamilton H. Cotton, broke ground on the seaside village Hanson called San Clemente. Hamilton H. Cotton reserved San Clemente’s finest oceanfront parcel for his own estate. His vision was to model his home after an Andalusian-themed manor located in San Sebastian, Spain, that he and his family had visited and admired. As a result, he commissioned European architect Carl Lindblom, who was famous for his sublime Spanish Colonial Revival designs, including Santa Barbara’s iconic city hall.

  • What Motivated Teachers to Teach About the Soviet Union After World War Ii
    HOPE, HOSTILITY, AND INTEREST: WHAT MOTIVATED TEACHERS TO TEACH ABOUT THE SOVIET UNION AFTER WORLD WAR II ANATOLI RAPOPORT Historically, the cold war was a watershed that separated two epochs: the time of abnormal, although compelled, partnership of two political systems and the period of peaceful coexistence with barely hidden hostility. The peacefulness of the latter, however elusive and vulnerable it was from time to time, has to be credited to the cold war, a relatively short period of time in world history, when humankind, and most importantly its leaders, realized how close our world was to self-destruction. The importance of the cold war is hard to overestimate. Analyzing the origins of the cold war in history textbooks, J. Samuel Walker pointed out three distinctive periods in explaining its roots.1 For almost twenty years the American public held the conviction that postwar tensions were a result of the Soviet Union’s expansion and aggression. This opinion was also shared by the intellectual and political elite of the United States. Things started to change by the late 1960s, at the very height of the Vietnam War when historians sought to explain why Americans GI’s found themselves thousands of miles away from Chicago and Los Angeles. New Left scholars more and more often pointed at the economic expansion of American capitalism as the primary reason for the cold war. These revisionists were immediately and decisively repulsed by traditionalists. The dispute prompted a bitter scholarly debate. Observing the arising controversy, Cashman and Gilbert hailed the existing diversity but warned against the inflexibility of a priori assumptions made by revisionists and traditionalists.

  • Involuntary Memories Exhibit at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
    Involuntary Memories Exhibit at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum (Yorba Linda, CA) - The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum will present Involuntary Memories, which showcases the work of artist Deborah Aschheim, from July 26 to September 28, 2014. Aschheim's installation is about people's memories of events that took place during the Nixon Presidency and the summer of 1974. Aschheim was artist-in-residence for seven months at the former Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro (now the Orange County Great Park). President Nixon, family, guests, and staff would travel to El Toro by Presidential helicopter during visits to the Nixon home, La Casa Pacifica, in San Clemente. Nixon's connection to El Toro and Orange County inspired Aschheim to interview park visitors about their own memories tied to events in the Nixon era. Aschheim made large-scale pen and ink drawings based on images from the Nixon era to inspire "involuntary memories" (the term, from cognitive psychology, refers to spontaneously triggered memories of autobiographical experiences) and to encourage people to tell her their personal stories. Text from these interviews is incorporated into the installation alongside the original drawings. "Richard Nixon's close ties to Southern California continue to reverberate in the memories of many local residents," states acting Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum Susan Donius. "These ties make Involuntary Memoriestimely, informative, and an interesting way in which to view the life and career of the 37th President." Deborah Aschheim makes large-scale immersive installations, sculptures, and drawings based on invisible worlds of memory and information.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.
