Book Reviews General Walter Bedell Smith As Director of Central Intelligence, the Chief of Staffi the Military Career of General
Book Reviews 87 fully the hoped for results. Even so, from the summer of 1918 on, there was some improvement; and if the war had continued into 1919, the combined efforts of Baruch, March, and Goethals most probably would have contributed substantially to the combat effec- tiveness of the AEF. Nonetheless, the author believes-contrary to some historians’ opinions-that Goethals, with only limited author- ity, had at best limited success. Mired down fighting established interests, i.e., the army’s bureaus, in Washington, D.C., he “did not produce a managerial revolution in six months” (p. 151); and although he was not a complete failure, he left no lasting institu- tional results on the army’s supply system. Still, the army did learn much from the shortcomings of its efforts during World War I and from the mid-1920s on took steps to improve and restructure its procurement and logistic posture. This well-crafted monograph, based on research conducted at the Center for Military History in Washington, D.C., combines archival with printed and secondary sources in an exemplary fash- ion. The author exhibits a fine grasp of the main issues, and her clearly written book makes a valuable contribution to an often neglected topic on the American experience during World War I. GUNTHERE.

The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady
The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady Reagan N. Griggs Dr. Rauhaus University of North Georgia The role of the First Lady of the United States of America has often been seen as symbolic, figurative, and trivial. Often in comparison to her husband, she is seen as a minimal part of the world stage and ultimately of the history books. Through this research, I seek to debunk the theory that the First Lady is just an allegorical figure of our country, specifically through the analysis of the twenty- first century first ladies. I wish to pursue the evolution of the image of the First Lady and her relevance to political change and public policies. Because a woman has yet to be president of the United States, the First Lady is arguably the only female political figure to live in the White House thus far. The evolution of the First Lady is relevant to gender studies due to its pertinence to answering the age old question of women’s place in politics. Every first lady has in one way or another, exerted some type of influence on the position and on the man to whom she was married to. The occupants of the White House share a unique partnership, with some of the first ladies choosing to influence the president quietly or concentrating on the hostess role. While other first ladies are seen as independent spokeswomen for their own causes of choice, as openly influencing the president, as well as making their views publicly known (Carlin, 2004, p. 281-282). -

THE SURGEON GENERAL AND THE BULLY PULPIT Michael Stobbe A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Administration, School of Public Health Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Ned Brooks Jonathan Oberlander Tom Ricketts Karl Stark Bryan Weiner ABSTRACT MIKE STOBBE: The Surgeon General and the Bully Pulpit (Under the direction of Ned Brooks) This project looks at the role of the U.S. Surgeon General in influencing public opinion and public health policy. I examined historical changes in the administrative powers of the Surgeon General, to explain what factors affect how a Surgeon General utilizes the office’s “bully pulpit,” and assess changes in the political environment and in who oversees the Surgeon General that may affect the Surgeon General’s future ability to influence public opinion and health. This research involved collecting and analyzing the opinions of journalists and key informants such as current and former government health officials. I also studied public documents, transcripts of earlier interviews and other materials. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.................................................................................................................v Chapter 1.
