  • JAMES A. BAKER, III the Case for Pragmatic Idealism Is Based on an Optimis- Tic View of Man, Tempered by Our Knowledge of Human Imperfection
    Extract from Raising the Bar: The Crucial Role of the Lawyer in Society, by Talmage Boston. © State Bar of Texas 2012. Available to order at texasbarbooks.net. TWO MOST IMPORTANT LAWYERS OF THE LAST FIFTY YEARS 67 concluded his Watergate memoirs, The Right and the Power, with these words that summarize his ultimate triumph in “raising the bar”: From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known: our Constitution works. And during the Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one—absolutely no one—is above the law.29 JAMES A. BAKER, III The case for pragmatic idealism is based on an optimis- tic view of man, tempered by our knowledge of human imperfection. It promises no easy answers or quick fixes. But I am convinced that it offers our surest guide and best hope for navigating our great country safely through this precarious period of opportunity and risk in world affairs.30 In their historic careers, Leon Jaworski and James A. Baker, III, ended up in the same place—the highest level of achievement in their respective fields as lawyers—though they didn’t start from the same place. Leonidas Jaworski entered the world in 1905 as the son of Joseph Jaworski, a German-speaking Polish immigrant, who went through Ellis Island two years before Leon’s birth and made a modest living as an evangelical pastor leading small churches in Central Texas towns. James A. Baker, III, entered the world in 1930 as the son, grand- son, and great-grandson of distinguished lawyers all named James A.

  • Airing on the Side of Agriculture Is Included in the Blog Section of NAFB.Com
    Volume 4, Number 8, August 1, 2016 by Larry A. Quinn RINGSIDE: EYEWITNESS TO HISTORY – For more than 50 years, Jerry Lackey (Emeritus member, San Angelo, TX) has worked as an agricultural journalist and farm broadcaster. A newly published photo documentary book shows many of the Presidents, Governors, Congressmen and key agricultural leaders who Jerry met and interviewed from his “ringside” position as a journalist. “Writing one’s life story never appealed to me,” Jerry said. However, it occurred to him that the only way he was privileged to interview and/or take pictures of the public figures was because of his chosen field of journalism. Dee Lackey, Jerry’s wife, “touted this project persistently for some time,” and contributed her editing skills to completing the book. Jerry purchased his first camera, a Kodak Brownie Starflash, and a film processing kit from the Sears Roebuck catalog using some of his grandmother’s “egg money.” The 80‐page book is filled with images and identifying cutlines that will take the reader back to the agricultural history that Jerry covered with his camera lens, reporter’s pad, microphone and video camera. Reared in the Texas Hill Country, Jerry worked for state and national publications as well as pursuing a parallel career in television with Texas Agriculture Television Network and radio broadcasting with Voice of Southwest Agriculture Network. He is agricultural editor emeritus for the San Angelo Standard‐Times where he is best known for his Windmill Country columns, which have been published by that newspaper for more than 25 years. Jerry’s numerous honors include the Oscar in Agriculture Award, Excellence in Agricultural Journalism Award, Shepherd’s Voice Award and Man of the Year in Texas Agriculture Award.

  • Trump's Generals
    STRATEGIC STUDIES QUARTERLY - PERSPECTIVE Trump’s Generals: A Natural Experiment in Civil-Military Relations JAMES JOYNER Abstract President Donald Trump’s filling of numerous top policy positions with active and retired officers he called “my generals” generated fears of mili- tarization of foreign policy, loss of civilian control of the military, and politicization of the military—yet also hope that they might restrain his worst impulses. Because the generals were all gone by the halfway mark of his administration, we have a natural experiment that allows us to com- pare a Trump presidency with and without retired generals serving as “adults in the room.” None of the dire predictions turned out to be quite true. While Trump repeatedly flirted with civil- military crises, they were not significantly amplified or deterred by the presence of retired generals in key roles. Further, the pattern continued in the second half of the ad- ministration when “true” civilians filled these billets. Whether longer-term damage was done, however, remains unresolved. ***** he presidency of Donald Trump served as a natural experiment, testing many of the long- debated precepts of the civil-military relations (CMR) literature. His postelection interviewing of Tmore than a half dozen recently retired four- star officers for senior posts in his administration unleashed a torrent of columns pointing to the dangers of further militarization of US foreign policy and damage to the military as a nonpartisan institution. At the same time, many argued that these men were uniquely qualified to rein in Trump’s worst pro- clivities. With Trump’s tenure over, we can begin to evaluate these claims.

  • Haig, a Catholic Who Served As U.S. Secretary of State, Dies at Age 85
    Haig, a Catholic who served as U.S. secretary of state, dies at age 85 Alexander M. Haig Jr., former U.S. secretary of state and retired four-star general who served as a top adviser to three presidents, died Feb. 20 of complications from an infection. He was 85. Haig, who was Catholic, died at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he was surrounded by family members. Although funeral and burial arrangements had not been announced, Haig’s brother, Jesuit Father Francis Haig, a retired physics professor at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore, told The New York Times that the Army was coordinating a Mass at Fort Myer military base in Arlington, Va., and interment at Arlington National Cemetery. The priest, a former president of LeMoyne College in Syracuse, N.Y., and Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia, said the services for his brother would likely be delayed for about two weeks. Alexander Haig, a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars, served as secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan and White House chief of staff under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He made a run for president in 1988 but failed to win the Republican nomination. For years Haig was remembered for his televised response to the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan: “As of now, I am in control here in the White House, pending the return of the vice president.” Then-Vice President George H.W. Bush was out of the country, but next in the line of succession to the presidency is the Speaker of the House, then the oldest U.S.

Despite their impact of restricting the extremes that often surfaced in Nixon’s foreign policy, the president ultimately executed his political strategy in Vietnam to protect his 1972 election bid and ensure his administration’s legacy. This resulted in four more years of bloodshed and U.S. deaths in Indochina.

    ARMY FOOTBALL 2013 “Playing since 1890, the Army Football tradition is as strong as it is long … Add more than 600 victories and the Army football program shines as brightly as its golden helmets.” — Street & Smith’s 50 Greatest College Football Programs of All Time WWW.GOARMYSPORTS.COM WEST POINT The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished repu- tation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of gradu- ates includes some of our nation’s most famous and infl uential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportu- nity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army offi cer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis.
