    Ronald Reagan, SDI, and the Nuclear Freeze: Reordering the Ethics of Mass Destruction A Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of History Jacqueline Jones, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Joseph Brown July 2008 Copyright by Joseph Brown July 2008 ABSTRACT Ronald Reagan, SDI, and the Nuclear Freeze: Reordering the Ethics of Mass Destruction A master’s thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts by Joseph Brown By proposing the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), Ronald Reagan co-opted the rhetoric of the nuclear freeze movement and reversed the relationship that had previously existed between himself and his anti-nuclear opponents. Prior to Reagan’s announcement of SDI, the nuclear freeze movement played the role of the ethically principled critic, denouncing Reagan for perpetuating the nuclear arms race and the policy of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). By adopting a proposal for space-based missile defenses, Reagan took on the role of the peace-loving nuclear critic. The Strategic Defense Initiative eclipsed the ethical appeals of the nuclear freeze movement, promising the eventual abolition of nuclear weapons. Ironically, the nuclear freeze movement found itself promoting MAD, because its own proposal to halt the arms race would do nothing to change the dynamic of offensive nuclear deterrence between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although Reagan openly advocated the expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, he was able to justify his strategic modernization plan as a temporary measure, necessary to preserve America’s security until his missile shield could be put in place.

  • Massachusetts 2012 Senate Poll
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Scott Brown looking good for 2012 re-election Raleigh, N.C. – In a look ahead to 2012, PPP tested five different Democrats against freshman Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, who surprised the world by taking Ted Kennedy’s old seat in a January 2010 special election that was a precursor to November’s midterm drubbings. But Brown is still so popular even in a wider electorate that even in this heavily blue state, none of the five can come closer than a seven-point deficit. Brown tops recently re-elected Governor Deval Patrick, 49-42; Kennedy’s widow Vicki, 48-41; 34-year representative of the 7th congressional district, Ed Markey, 49-39; 8th- district Congressman Mike Capuano, 52-36; and 9th-district Congressman Stephen Lynch, 49-30. The varying deficits are largely a function of name recognition, but there is clearly a ceiling for a Democrat right now in an unlikely place. Brown gets 22-28% of Democrats, something usually only seen in Southern Democratic states like North Carolina. He maintains 85-89% of his own party, and holds 29- to 34-point leads with independents, who make up almost as much of the electorate (38%) as Democrats (42%). In a sign of how moderate and mainstream Brown’s image is, 53% say his views are “about right,” something only 32% say of the GOP as a whole.

    OMNI PARKER HOUSE BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS APRIL 25,1995 Welcome to the New England Circle/Citizens Roundtable. This evening's discussion, Affirmative Action and Its Impact on Society is led by JUDGE A. LEON HIGGINBOTHAM JR. Professor of Jurisprudence at The John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Until he retired in 1993, Judge Higginbotham served as Circuit Judge and as Chief Judge Emeritus of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He was appointed a district court judge in 1964 and a court of appeals judge in 1977. In addition, he has many years of experience as an attorney, and he held numerous teaching appointments at such universities as the University of Pennsylvania, New York University and Harvard Law School. His book, In the Matter of Color: Race and the American Legal Process, was published in 1978 with the hope that "...this volume will help us better understand the history we cannot escape and cause us to assume the responsibility we owe to our future." Judge Higginbotham is a graduate of Anitoch College and Yale Law School, as well as the recipient of more than 60 honorary degrees. He is married to Dr. Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, a professor of African American Studies at Harvard. They reside in Newton, Massachusetts and have four children. This evening's moderator is MARTY LINSKY a counselor to Governor William Weld and adjunct lecturer at the John F. Kennedy School of Government.
