The CENTENNIAL HISTOEY of yTBJMIU:, HUMUS „ lit HMMSB fSBBS a a a THE Centennial History of Litchfield is presented proudly as a record of people founding a community and finding that in their dependence upon one another for their livelihood and happiness, the spirit of a small mid-American city came into be- ing and grew with the years. In the first century of the Christian era, Tacitus (perhaps the greatest of Roman historians) wrote that the object of history is to "rescue virtuous acts from the oblivion to which the want of records would consign them." So it has become one of the prime objects of observing Litch- field's Centennial, to recall in words and in pictures some of the things that have transpired within the span of one hundred years, that have made Litchfield what it is today . the sum- mer of 1953. This Centennial Book is not, nor could it be made, the com- plete story of Litchfield. But it is representative, and its com- pilers sincerely hope that the devoted efforts that have gone into its preparation, by many individuals and organizations of Litchfield, have succeeded in reviving many "nostalgic days of Yesterday." We, ourselves in this year of 1953, are Tomorrow's past. As those who have lived before us, we would not be forgotten. We might even wish to be remembered as more heroic and better than we are. We join memory with hope that the new century into which Litchfield is entering may fulfill the aspirations of the founding pioneers and all who have followed in their train during our community's first one hundred years. May this Centennial Book of Litchfield prove worthy of its purpose! — 3&4.1HJ - L7/ <l HARRY SATTERLEE GARTH HENRICHS Co-Chairman Co-Chairman Board of Directors Board of Directors Litchfield Centennial, Inc.

Bookkeeper The Litchfield Centennial Board of Directors SEVERAL years prior to 1953—the Centennial Year of Litchfield, Illinois there were informal discussions of plans that would be made for the observ- ance of Litchfield's One Hundredth Anniversary. More than a year before Janu- ary, 1953, group conferences were initiated by the Litchfield Chamber of Com- merce, which led to the selection of twelve citizens in whose hands was placed the responsibility of preparing for the celebration of Litchfield's Centennial. The Centennial Board of Directors was granted a charter by the State of Illinois as a nonprofit corporation, and immediately inaugurated plans for the observance of the Centennial during the spring and summer, to climax with a three-day celebration, August 6, 7, and 8. The Board formed ten divisions, with Litchfield owes one of its members as the head of each division. To these men special appreciation for the time and effort they gave unstintingly to the Centen- nial preparations. And to each of the persons who accepted committee responsibilities and shared enthusiastically in making the Centennial an unprecedented success, this portion of the book is dedicated. The Board was pleased to recognize, as the first noteworthy portrayal of the development of Litchfield through the century, a panoramic program, "One Hundred Candles for Litchfield," presented by the Litchfield Woman's Club in early March. In early May the annual high school May Fete was presented in a beautiful Centennial setting and Centennial costumes before a packed house in the new community high school gymnasium. The Board of Directors of Litchfield Centennial, Inc., express their deep appreciation to every person in Litchfield who helped in any way to make the Centennial an extraordinary achievement. It has been a truly wonderful demonstration of the spirit of neighborly goodwill and cooperation which is characteristic of Litchfield. >c^<^<^^^«^^«^|^<>||^^j^^|^^)^^ FINANCE DIVISION COMMITTEES UNDERWRITING NOVELTIES Harold W.

    Judge Mendoza, for Agreeing To

    Q1: Today is November 5, 2005. It is 11:26 am. We are in room 2510 of the Daley Center Cook County Court building where we’re interviewing Judge Patricia Mendoza about her legal career, her background, how she became a judge in the Cook County system. Thank you, Judge Mendoza, for agreeing to talking with us today. The first thing we’d like to do is ask you a little bit about your background and upbringing, how your early experiences influenced your decision to enter the legal profession. Can you tell us a little bit about what it was like growing up in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in the 1960s? A: Well, it’s a working-class neighborhood. They have -- it was a changing neighborhood, changing over from Polish– Lithuanian to Mexican. You know, it was lower middle class. And there’s not a lot -- I don’t know. You know, it’s what I knew, so I couldn’t really compare it to anything else at the time. Q1: Mm-hmm. Did your parents -- had they lived there for a long time, or...? A: We actually moved there when I was 11. They had a bridal shop business that they opened up there. They had had a business previously, and I don’t know the name of the neighborhood. It was like 55th and the Garfield, Halsted area. That neighborhood had undergone a lot of race riots. 1 I vague -- I distinctly remember, you know, the riots because the store was on the dividing line -- at that time Halsted was the dividing line -- between black and white.

    Apple Stores

    For the exclusive use of M. Henny, 2015. 9-502-063 REV: MAY 20, 2010 LUC WATHIEU Apple Stores Ron Johnson (HBS ’84), Apple Computer’s Senior Vice-President of Retail, never missed a chance to show a customer through the nearest Apple Store. A former Vice-President of Merchandising at Target (a leading department store chain), Johnson joined Apple in January 2000 with the mission to oversee the creation of the company’s own stores. The first store opened in May 2001—and just seven months later, 27 identical stores had been opened across the United States. During his store visits, Johnson tried computer applications, listened to a store employee make a presentation in front of the 10-foot screen at the rear of the store in “the theater,” and respectfully introduced his guests to the local “genius,” the official title of a very knowledgeable employee who stood behind a “bar” (complete with stools and water bottles) and helped solve consumer problems. Every detail of the store experience had been carefully designed, and as much as Johnson enjoyed each tour, he was also checking that all the store’s elements were perfectly under control. “The store experience has to be the same every day, every hour, in every store. We care passionately about that,” he often said. The stores were expanding to new territories, mostly in high traffic shopping malls, with the explicit purpose of “enriching people’s lives” and converting new customers to Apple products. To complete that mission successfully, Johnson’s focus was on choosing the right locations, selecting and training knowledgeable and dedicated employees, and defining the most effective utilization of the innovative store elements such as the theater and the genius bar.

    Tor in Oklahoma All the Experiences That Went Into the Making of the Nation Have Been Speeded Up

    Tor in Oklahoma all the experiences that went into the making of the nation have been speeded up. Here all the American traits have been intensified.The one who can interpret Oklahoma can grasp the meaning of America in the modern world." —Angie Debo, Oklahoma: Footloose and Fancy Free, 1949 Every one of these United States touts its unique place in the American Story, but few have as curious a history as Oklahoma. Its place on the continent would have predicted statehood much sooner than 1907, when Oklahoma became the 46th Star. But the federal Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the establishment of an Indian Territory would put the land on a different path, diverging from the logical progression of the white man's Manifest Destiny. csnl^afo /jeu-cr The relocated tribes were promised their new land "as long as the waters run" by U.S. treaty. The tribes would find the promise broken in the latter years of the nineteenth century when Indian Territory saw the breakup of reservations, and then in the early twentieth century when the collective tribes were denied a state of their own. Instead, the territory would join with Oklahoma Territory to form the new state. When areas of the territories were opened for settlement through land runs and lotteries, African Ameri­ cans came to fulfill the promise of equality, only to see the promise shattered with the establishment of Jim Crow laws. Even the "promised land" promoted during the runs and lotteries would ultimately lead to broken dreams for many Euro-Americans, who would see desperate hardship in the depression, drought, and farm crisis of the 1930s.

Despite his education and erudition—or perhaps because of it— he appealed to the working classes and Labour voters, and appeared as a man speaking truth unto power, unafraid to break the political taboos of the day and thereby appealing to individuals who similarly felt silenced by political developments.

    Former Governors of Illinois

    FORMER GOVERNORS OF ILLINOIS Shadrach Bond (D-R*) — 1818-1822 Illinois’ first Governor was born in Maryland and moved to the North - west Territory in 1794 in present-day Monroe County. Bond helped organize the Illinois Territory in 1809, represented Illinois in Congress and was elected Governor without opposition in 1818. He was an advo- cate for a canal connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, as well as for state education. A year after Bond became Gov ernor, the state capital moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia. The first Illinois Constitution prohibited a Governor from serving two terms, so Bond did not seek reelection. Bond County was named in his honor. He is buried in Chester. (1773- 1832) Edward Coles (D-R*) — 1822-1826 The second Illinois Governor was born in Virginia and attended William and Mary College. Coles inherited a large plantation with slaves but did not support slavery so he moved to a free state. He served as private secretary under President Madison for six years, during which he worked with Thomas Jefferson to promote the eman- cipation of slaves. He settled in Edwardsville in 1818, where he helped free the slaves in the area. As Governor, Coles advocated the Illinois- Michigan Canal, prohibition of slavery and reorganization of the state’s judiciary. Coles County was named in his honor. He is buried in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (1786-1868) Ninian Edwards (D-R*) — 1826-1830 Before becoming Governor, Edwards was appointed the first Governor of the Illinois Territory by President Madison, serving from 1809 to 1818. Born in Maryland, he attended college in Pennsylvania, where he studied law, and then served in a variety of judgeships in Kentucky.

    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.
  • Foreign Policy Clout

    Foreign Policy Clout

    MAY 2015 A TALE OF TWO EXCEPTIONALISMS: THE FUTURE OF THE UK AND ITS EU MEMBERSHIP AFTER THE ELECTION By Andrew Glencross Andrew Glencross is a lecturer in international politics at the University of Stirling (UK), where he directs the master’s program in International Conflict and Cooperation. David Cameron’s unexpected triumph in the 2015 UK General Election means that Britons will be asked to vote on whether to remain in the EU. On the surface, this referendum appears to be just another manifestation of Britain’s prolonged equivocations over European integration. First there was the decision in the 1950s to remain aloof, only joining the then European Economic Community in 1973, a decision shortly followed by renegotiation as well as a referendum on membership in 1975. Subsequently, there have been periodic tumults over obtaining concessions, including a budget rebate and opt-outs from both the single currency and the borderless Schengen area. Look more closely at the source of the current dispute, however, and a different picture emerges. Demands for renegotiating British membership prior to voting on the issue, combined with expectations of a “generous exit” if such wrangling fails, all imply that Britain is big enough to do better by going it alone. In this sense, the struggle against the EU is not about indecision it is about loathing constraints on self- government, a narrative directly echoed in the demand for Scottish independence – an issue that is now intertwined with the EU question. The Relevance of the 1975 Referendum The 1975 precedent of asking the people to vote on Britain’s relationship with Europe is useful to illustrate the continuity in this sentiment of a frustrated desire for managing one’s own affairs.
