LXVIII NO. 99 STORRS, CONNECTICUT Monday, April 19, 1971 sen. muskie: 'here to challenge policies9 By CATHY CONNOR The motor of a light plane droned over some 18,000 people gathered on the steps of the Rhode Island State House In Pro- vidence, Sunday, trailing a banner reading "YAF says 'Why Support Hanoi?' ■ Below, cars became littered wits green paper* that said, "Your wind- shield has been washed courtesy of the R.I. Federation of College Republicans. Now that you can see more clearly, we hope that you will join President Nixon In working for a full generation of peace." The bi-partisan "Dump Nixon" rally sponsored by Citizens for Alternatives Now, drew speakers and entertainers from all over the country including three prospective presidential candidates. Sen. Edmund S. Muskle, D-Malne, told blanketed, shivering crowds, "We are here to challenge policies, not person- alities — to seek solutions, not scape- goats." Rep. Paul N. McClosky, R-Cal., has pledged "to fight President Nixon in the primaries if Nixon doesn't move to end the war," and Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind. told the crown the nation 'can- not afford four more years of the bank- rupt policies of Richard Nixon." Muskle drew the loudest reaction from the crowd when he said that If America wants its problems solved, "then It must vote this administration out of office in 1972." He told the rain- soaked crowd that the single purpose of the rally was "to demonstrate our faith that the people's will can still determine our country's course." "We are here to restore moral leadership to our country," he said. foster* ana ie,uuv pmcerui protestors were part ot the it was part ui uic spring, tnaw. tne nrst day ot me Viet- Continued on Poge 3 scerrtTpn the su££ °' the Rhode Island State House in nam Vets' Washington offensive and the prelude to next Providence Sunday as Citizens for Alternatives Now spon- weekend's Washington rally.(Campus Photo by LaChance's sored the largest political rally in that state's history.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

M.A., Department of History, Wright State University, 2006. Richard Nixon, Détente, and the Conservative Movement. This work examines the relationship between President Richard Nixon and the American conservative movement (1969-1974). Nixon’s anti-communist persona proved pivotal in winning the 1968 Republican Party’s and winning over the conservative base. The foreign policies orchestrated by Nixon and his National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger, however, which sought to reduce tensions with China and the Soviet Union, infuriated the conservatives. In 1971-72, they suspended their support of the administration and even drafted their own candidate, the Ohio congressman John Ashbook, to challenge Nixon in the 1972 primary campaign. Although the Ashbrook campaign had a minimal impact, it set a precedent for conservative opposition to détente in the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Vietnamese Americans LESSONS in AMERICAN HISTORY
    Vietnamese Americans LESSONS IN AMERICAN HISTORY Vietnam Before 1975 V 2800 B.C. – 300 B.C. The Vietnamese have numerous legends about the origin of their state. According to the most famous legend, a Vietnamese prince named Lac Long Qu∑n comes to northern Viet Nam from his home in the sea. He marries Au Co, a princess from the mountain, on the top of Mount Tän ViΩn some time around 2800 B.C. The union results in the princess laying 100 eggs, with a son eventually hatching from each. For some unknown reason, the parents separate, the mother leading half the progeny across the northern mountains, where they become the ancestors of the Mvrg people, and the father leading the remaining fifty sons to the sea, where they become ancestors of the Vietnamese. The most valiant of the sons later becomes the first of the eighteen Hzng kings. Lac Long Qu∑n and Au Co are regarded by the Vietnamese as their primal ancestors. King Hzng establishes VCn Lang, the earliest name for Viet Nam. Another seventeen Hzng kings or generations succeed him, ruling throughout the Bronze Age. The new state prospers under an elaborate irrigation system of dikes and canals that control and channel the supplies of water in the Red River Delta. VCn Lang comprises the northern parts of present-day Viet Nam. 300 B.C. The historical evidence does not establish the reasons for the fall of the zH ng kingdom of VCn Lang. But by 300 B.C., the people in this region seem to be divided into Tay Au (Vietnamese of the highlands) and Lac Viet (Vietnamese of the plains).
