We add perspective to events by fitting them into the larger historical and cultural context of international politics. We conduct research on pressing issues—homeland security and the war on terror, developments in the Middle East, nuclear proliferation in South Asia and Northeast Asia, relations with China, Russia, and Japan—and long-term questions—the role of religion in international politics and the nature of Western identity and its implications for the U.S. and the Atlantic Alliance. We publish a quarterly journal, Orbis, and books and bulletins drawing on our research findings and conferences. We educate the public through our publications, seminars, and presentations. In this way, we serve the community and the nation, the policymakers and the educators, Wall Street and Main Street. THE 2008 ANNUAL DINNER

2 THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARD FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
FPRI seeks to bring the best of scholarship to bear on foreign policy issues and emphasizes the importance of public service on behalf of the nation. These two elements are also symbolized by the career of Benjamin Franklin, who devoted himself from an early age to public service and to resolving problems through objective analysis, drawing upon the best knowledge available. Franklin’s international career culminated in his role as a diplomat whose work proved crucial in securing American independence. In 2005, on the occasion of FPRI’s 50th anniversary and on the eve of Benjamin Franklin’s 300th birthday, we presented the first annual Benjamin Franklin Award for Public Service, to honor Americans whose public service exemplifies the ideals of Benjamin Franklin and the United States. That first award was presented to Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, the second to Charles Krauthammer, and the third to Philip Zelikow. This year, the trustees of FPRI are pleased to designate John R. Bolton as the fourth honoree.
JOHN R. BOLTON
John Bolton, the former U.S. Ambassador to the UN, has a long history of public service, holding such positions as Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs at the Department of State, Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice, and Assistant Administrator for Program and Policy Coordination for the US Agency for International Development. He is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and received his J.D. from Yale Law School. His memoir of his time at the UN, Surrender Is Not an Option, was published in November 2007 by Simon and Schuster.

Highlights of FPRI’s research, publications, events, and media coverage over the past year are presented below by major programmatic areas.
A NEW AMERICAN STRATEGY
America needs a long-term national strategy to meet the challenges to its security. These include not only terrorism but also the changing foreign policies of countries such as Russia and China and the effects of globalization. Harvey Sicherman, president of FPRI and a former aide to three U.S. secretaries of state, has completed his book manuscript Cheap Hawks, Cheap Doves, and the Pursuit of American Strategy (Prentice Hall, forthcoming), which addresses our national security imperative from a geopolitical and historical perspective.
Among Dr. Sicherman’s speaking engagements this year, in February, he was a panelist, with Martin Indyk and Michael Oren, at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy’s special policy forum on “The Final Year: End-of-Term Presidents and the Middle East.” In June, he gave the keynote address to the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies (NESA) on American foreign policy.
CENTER ON TERRORISM, COUNTERTERRORISM, AND HOMELAND SECURITY Co-chairs: Stephen Gale and Michael Radu
This Center, founded after 9/11, studies international terrorism, examines critical vulnerabilities in America’s infrastructure, and suggests ways to improve homeland security. Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell gave the keynote talk at the Center’s conference on “Energy Security in Pennsylvania and the Nation” in December 2007.
7 On May 8-9, FPRI hosted the 8th Transatlantic Editors Roundtable, “Reviving Transatlantic Cooperation: A Roundtable on Terrorism, International Order, and Global Challenges.” These roundtables are held biannually and include transatlantic foreign affairs journal editors. FPRI co-sponsored the event with the Center for Applied Policy Research in Munich; the German Marshall Fund and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania supported the event. About 20 editors of foreign policy journals met to debate key questions regarding the future of transatlantic relations with policy makers, analysts, and journalists. The conference highlighted current challenges as well as future options for a close cooperation between Europe and America. The Center also offers briefings on the war on terror supported in part by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These briefings are offered as a public service (free and open to the public). In 2008, it presented the following talks:
What Students Should Know About 9/11 and the War on Terrorism, two 45-minute webcasts for secondary school classes, featuring FPRI Senior Fellow Lawrence Husick and Adam Garfinkle, editor of The American Interest. More than 100 schools from around the country participated; some local students participated as our “live studio audience.” Michael Horowitz, University of Pennsylvania, on the History of Suicide Terrorism Jonathan Weinberger, former Senior Counselor for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes, U.S. Treasury, on De-funding Terrorism
The War on Terrorism: A collection of FPRI essays, 2001- 2007 (Harvey Sicherman, Stephen Gale and Michael Radu, eds.) was released on September 11, 2007; it was reissued in Fall 2008 by Transaction Publishers as The War on Terrorism: 21st-Century Perspectives.
8 In November 2007, Dr. Radu taught both military and civilian students at the Universidad Sergio Arboleda in Bogota on counterterrorism/counterinsurgency. His Europe’s Ghost: Tolerance, Jihadism and Their Consequences is forthcoming from Encounter Press. Radu appeared this year in or on Army Times, BBC World, FrontPage.com, Radio Liberty (New York), Radio Romania, Romania Libera, and Rzecspospolita (Poland’s largest newspaper) on issues including West Africa narco- trafficking, extremist websites, the Colombian hostage rescue, Vladimir Putin and Dmitri Medvedev, the Russia-Georgia conflict, Serbian fugitive Radovan Karadˆzi´c, President Bush’s European tour, NATO, arms dealer Victor Bout, and Kosovo. In November 2008, Dr. Radu was a guest on Comcast’s Larry Kane Voice of Reason, which broadcasts from Maine to Virginia.
In October 2008, Dr. Gale spoke on “Evaluating the Terrorist Threat to Our Critical Infrastructure” at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Business Continuity Planning Conference in New York City.
Senior Fellow Marc Sageman’s Leaderless Jihad: Terror Networks in the Twenty- first Century (Univ. of Pennsylvania Press), published in December 2007, has been reviewed extensively, including in Foreign Affairs and the New York Times. Dr. Sageman was interviewed for a November 2007 cover article in the New York Times magazine (“Where Boys Grow Up to Be Jihadis,” by Andrea Elliott) Among other media coverage, he was quoted in January in the Economist; his work was featured in “The Fading Jihadists” by David Ignatius (Washington Post, February 28); he was interviewed by NPR in spring, and interviewed for “Jihadi studies: The obstacles to understanding radical Islam and the opportunities to know it better,” Thomas Hegghammer, Times of London. His own “The Homegrown Young Radicals of Next-Gen Jihad” was published in the Washington Post on June 8, 2008.
Senior Fellow Abdullah Schleifer was quoted in “Younger Muslims Tune In to Upbeat Religious Message,” Kevin Sullivan, Washington Post, December 2007; in the New York Times in a January article on al Jazeera; and in “Egypt’s Grand Mufti Counters the Tide of Islamic Extremism,” U.S. News and World Report, March 2008. In August he gave a lecture on “Muslim Christian Dialogue: Where Do We Go From Here?” in Washington, D.C., for the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy and the RUMI Forum.
9 Among other media appearances, Senior Fellow Ed Turzanski was cited in “Local Pakistani Community Reacts To Bhutto’s Assassination,” MyFox Philadelphia in January, and in March in the Los Angeles Times on a thwarted Chinese terror plot. In Fall he was named to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter’s newly created Ethics Task Force.
In February, Center executive director Gregory Montanaro worked with the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration to bring the U.S. Capitol Police to Philadelphia to conduct a daylong briefing to local law enforcement on the latest technologies and methodologies for preventing terrorism and ensuring effective security.
CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF AMERICA AND THE WEST – Chair: Walter McDougall
The Center for the Study of America and the West conducts research to answer the question, what is “the West”? It also publishes original works, runs a study group, and sponsors a History Institute for Teachers that serves high school teachers from around the country.
This past year, the following papers were commissioned for and presented at the Center’s inter-university study group, now chaired by Michael Noonan: – February – Conservative Versus Liberal Views of Europe and the EU, Ronald J. Granieri, University of Pennsylvania – April – European Perspectives on Jihadist Terrorism, British author and historian Michael Burleigh – October - Future Warfare and U.S. Defense Policy, Michael Horowitz, University of Pennsylvania The Center also co-sponsored with the American Council on Germany two luncheon presentations: “Russia: Where Is It Headed?” by Klaus Segbers, Osteuropa Institut and Free University of Berlin, and “U.S.-European Relations,” by Harvey Sicherman.
10 The second volume of Dr. McDougall’s U.S. history, Throes of Democracy: The American Civil War Era, 1829–1877, was published in March 2008 (HarperCollins). Reviewer comments include:
“Pulitzer Prize winner Walter A. McDougall has written an exciting new multifaceted synthesis of American history between 1829 and 1877. Mr. McDougall writes vividly, often in a breezy, colloquial style. But… McDougall’s history is not dumbed down.” Daniel Walker Howe, New York Sun, April 9, 2008 “The larger lesson he presents of democracy’s travails is timely and apt. Most Americans justifiably applaud their forebears’ accomplishments in building a prosperous democratic republic, and McDougall joins them. He declares the United States the ‘greatest success story in history.’ Yet his tale delivers a poignant reminder that success didn’t come easily, and that democracy wasn’t built in a year, or a decade, or even a generation.” H.W. Brands, American Interest, July-August 2008. “This exciting account of a brawling, chaotic era in American life is a significant contribution to American studies.… Few American historians have thought as carefully about the problems of big narrative history as McDougall has; this extraordinary book will be equally helpful to the neophyte struggling to grasp the chronological flow of nineteenth-century American history and to more accomplished scholars looking for insights into a turbulent and critical period of American history.” Walter Russell Mead, Foreign Affairs, September/October 2008
McDougall’s book tour included a March interview with John Miller on National Review Online Radio and a segment on C-Span’s BookTV. Excerpts of Throes appeared in the April issue of First Things and in the July-August issue of the University of Pennsylvania’s Gazette.
The year also saw publication of James Kurth’s new edition of Carle Zimmerman’s 1947 Family and Civilization, by ISI.
11 PROGRAM ON NATIONAL SECURITY Chair: The Hon. John F. Lehman, Jr.; Director: Michael Noonan
What is the best military strategy for conducting the war on terror? How should U.S. forces be organized to provide for the common defense? FPRI helps answer these and other important national security questions through research, conferences, and publications.
This year the Program on National Security has held numerous public and select briefings, including talks by Thomas Mahnken, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy Planning, on the new National Defense Strategy, and Andrew Exum on Hezbollah’s military strategy.
In October the Program cosponsored, with the Reserve Officers Association and London’s Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies, a Press Briefing in Washington, D.C. on “Afghanistan: Is It Winnable?” RUSI panelists included Prof. Michael Clarke and Rear Admiral Chris Parry CBE.
The Program’s fellows helped to bring the best of scholarship to bear on policy debates through individual publication and through public speaking and media appearances. Michael Noonan gave talks in London, UK, and Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, on counterinsurgency and advising foreign militaries and commented on military matters in, among other places, the Philadelphia Inquirer, European Stars & Stripes, Marine Corps Times, Philadelphia Bulletin, and the Kansas City Star. Senior Fellow Frank Hoffman published an influential monograph Conflict in the 21st Century: The Rise of Hybrid Wars through the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies and had several well-received articles in the Armed Forces Journal. Orbis editor and Senior Fellow Mackubin Owens wrote on “America’s Long War(s)” for FPRI’s E-Notes and had several other important pieces in outlets such as the Wall Street Journal and National Review Online, where he is a contributing editor.
12 The next year will see a continuation of the Program’s activities through research, publication, and education. The Program is organizing a major conference for early 2009 on national security “showstoppers” for the new administration.
“We cannot have an intelligent debate on defense spending without looking at the strategic picture and looking at all of our national security requirements. We should not reduce defense spending in the near term as a reflex action, nor should we continue to reflexively invest in raw military power or conventional capabilities. If there is one lesson from the ongoing Long War, it is that there is more to national security than armed might and traditional war-fighting capabilities. Given the painful cost of this lesson, it is incumbent upon our national leaders to understand and act upon it wisely.… The time for hard choices will come back to haunt decisions made today that do not account for truly strategic priorities and disciplined requirements, and not just historical patterns and fixed formulas. Thinking strategically always involves choices and tradeoffs and a rigorous evaluation of risk. There is nothing formulaic to it—or at least there should not be.” FPRI Senior Fellow Frank Hoffman, “Strategic Security Spending,” Armed Forces Journal, March 2008.
ASIA PROGRAM Director: Jacques deLisle
FPRI’s Asia Program promotes debate and analysis of the many important developments in this vital region.
In February, the Program presented “East Asian Security: A Trip Report,” by Senior Fellow Arthur Waldron, who was a guest of Japan’s Foreign Ministry for two weeks in December 2007. His visit included an unusual visit to Okinawa and the Sakishima Islands. The Japan Self Defense Forces also provided a Chinook helicopter and crew to take Waldron and his Japanese colleagues on a
13 rare flyover of the Senkaku islands, which are also claimed by China. He also spent four days in Taiwan, where he met with top strategic analysts, and visited the Penghu/Pescadores Islands in the Taiwan Strait. Waldron’s report, including extraordinary video, presented new insights into the strategic significance of the northeast Asian states.
The Program’s April 2008 annual conference considered Political Transitions and Foreign Policy in East Asia. This year, new presidents were elected or took office in the U.S., Taiwan, and the ROK; Japan selected a new prime minister in September 2007. These polities also all saw, or soon would see, legislative elections. The conference considered the implications of election-produced changes in leadership and regime transformations. The keynote address, “The Democratic Prospect in East Asia,” was given by Carl Gershman, president of the National Endowment for Democracy.
In April the Program also co-sponsored the Philadelphia presentation of Nationwide China Town Hall: Local Connections, National Reflections. This event provided an opportunity for participants to learn about the U.S.- China relationship and have the questions answered by leading China specialists. Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute gave the main talk. Following the national portion of the program, the Philadelphia on-site specialist was Adam Segal of the CFR, author of Digital Dragon: High Technology Enterprise in China; FPRI’s Jacques deLisle was an on-site specialist for the Town Hall in Houston.
The Program’s Study Group also hosted talks this year by: ▪ Andrew Mertha, Washington University, on The Evolution of Capitalism and Innovation in China. ▪ Jacqueline Newmyer, FPRI Senior Fellow and CEO of the Long Term Strategy Group, on the Implications of China’s Military Buildup.
▪ Peter Gries, University of Oklahoma, on Problems of Perception and Misperception in U.S.-China Relations.
14 In September the Program hosted the Fifth Annual four-day Trilateral Conference (Shanghai-Tokyo-Philadelphia), sponsored by the Shanghai Institute of International Relations, the Japan Institute of International Affairs, the New World Institute (VA), and FPRI. These conferences offer an opportunity to explore on an unofficial basis key security and economic issues affecting the three countries.
On deLisle’s summer trip to Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong, he gave eight lectures, two in each city. He was also interviewed on the Beijing Olympics by Yahoo! News, the Christian Science Monitor, Philadelphia Inquirer, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Times, and appeared in the “Taiwan: Opportunities and Challenges” segment of the PBS TV series, “Asian America.”
On July 8, one month before the opening of the Beijing Olympics, de Lisle moderated a preview screening at the National Constitution Center of parts of Discovery Channel’s four-part series examining contemporary China, Koppel on Discovery: The People’s Republic of Capitalism, and discussion about the U.S.-China relationship. On August 7, on the eve of the Olympics, the Asia Program held a telephone briefing on China and the Olympics with panelists deLisle, Monroe Price and Amy Gadsden. DeLisle also spoke to Radio Times and WHYY on this. Owning the Olympics (Feb. 08), edited by Price and including a chapter by deLisle, made Slate’s short list of books to read about the Games.
15 DeLisle also contributed chapters to Larry Diamond and Bruce Gilley, eds., Political Change in China: Comparisons with Taiwan (Lynne Rienner, 2008), and China’s Changing Political Landscape: Prospects for Democracy (Brookings, 2008).
FPRI Senior Fellow Gilbert Rozman co-edited (with In-Taek Hyun and Shin- wha Lee) South Korean Strategic Thought toward Asia (Palgrave, April 2008).
On August 4, deLisle participated in an Atlantic Council (Washington, D.C.) panel discussion on “Negotiating Cross-Strait Relations: Security and Political Dimensions”
“Rising powers seek to change international regimes they did not shape. China, however, has compelling reasons to accept, even support the status quo for now. It depends on participation in the global economy to sustain growth and stability, and it lacks the leverage to demand major changes. Still, although Chinese leaders have a strong record of putting interest ahead of ideology, there is a risk that China’s heady sense of accomplishment and resurgent popular nationalism—both of which will be on display at the Olympics—will drive China to challenge the rules of the game on matters ranging from trade to security. Although acquiescence is more likely in the near term, if and when China becomes less compliant, it could pose problems for another country that benefits even more from the current order—the United States.” Jacques deLisle, “China is a rising star, but unusually weak and poor,” Philadelphia Inquirer, July 6, 2008.
16 PROJECT ON DEMOCRATIC TRANSITIONS Director: Amb. Adrian Basora
Since its formal launch in January 2005, the Project on Democratic Transitions, headed by Adrian Basora, former U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic and a former director for European Affairs for the National Security Council, has sought to better understand the dramatic political and economic transitions of postcommunist Europe and Eurasia. In its initial phase, the Project developed valuable insights into the competing forces that have transformed formerly communist Europe/Eurasia since 1989. The Winter 2008 Orbis featured papers from the Project’s second, 2007, conference.
“The Georgian events are a wake-up call. The U.S. and its European allies must act now to provide leadership in restoring democratic momentum not only in Georgia but throughout the postcommunist region. For the U.S., this will mean replacing its now-discredited, unilateralist brand of “democracy promotion” with a new policy paradigm focused on broader democratic values and partnership: sustained partnerships with the regions’ civil society groups and elected officials, and renewed partnerships with key European allies to integrate the postcommunist nations into wider regional and international frameworks..” – Adrian Basora and Jean Boone, “The Georgia Crisis and Continuing Democratic Erosion in Europe/Eurasia,” FPRI Enotes, October 2008.
THINK TANKS AND CIVIL SOCIETIES Director: James McGann
Program Director James McGann has been appointed Assistant Director of the International Relations Program at the University of Pennsylvania, where he will also serve as a lecturer. McGann maintains a database on global think tanks that is used throughout the world; a portion of it (think tanks focusing on international security issues) is available at the FPRI website.
In January 2008, McGann’s “The Global ‘Go-To’ Think Tanks: The Leading Public Policy Research Organizations in the World,” which identified the top 30 think tanks in the world, was noted in publications including La Clave (Spain), Jakarta Post (Indonesia), The Daily Yomiuri (Osaka, Japan), and the
17 South China Morning Post (Hong Kong). His work will be featured in the Jan.- Feb. 2009 issue of Foreign Policy magazine, and he has been invited to address Davos Conference in January.
McGann took a number of interns to Washington, D.C. on July 31 for meetings with various agencies of relevance to their future careers.
The Program is currently assessing the preliminary results of its Global Think Tanks Impact Survey, the objective of which is to inform donors, policymakers and the public about the impact think tanks have on public policy and the challenges they face as they attempt to improve public discourse and decision making on a broad range of policy issues. Other projects include:
▪ Global Mapping and Assessment of Development and Environment Think Tanks, a systematic analysis of the organizations working in these fields; ▪ Catalysts for Growth and Development in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS), which looks at the policy issues these dynamic economies will face; ▪ Think Tanks in India, which explores the evolving role of think tanks and civil society in India; ▪ Think Tanks in Africa, Middle East/North Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia, which reports on the findings of two years of data collection and analysis that provides the first systematic assessment think tanks in these regions; ▪ NGO Pushback, which looks at the legal and extralegal strategies to limit the number, role and influence of NGOs in Russia, China, Venezuela, Egypt and Zimbabwe; ▪ Three Chinas, which compares the development of think tanks in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China; ▪ Trends in Security and International Affairs Think Tanks, which examines the research agendas of over 900 security and international affairs think tanks worldwide to see if and how they are dealing with a wide range of security and international affairs issues; and ▪ The Fifth Estate: Think Tanks and U.S. Foreign and Domestic Policy.
18 E-NOTES AND FOOTNOTES
Each week, FPRI emails Enotes, succinct analyses of some critical international issue, to some 25,000 key people in 85 countries directly, and reach thousands more indirectly by postings on the Internet at FPRI’s site (which now receives 50,000 visits a month) and in repostings.

21 EDUCATION
WACHMAN CENTER Director: Alan Luxenberg
The Wachman Center focuses on “teaching the teachers”—advancing teachers’ knowledge of world affairs and aiding them in incorporating this knowledge in the classroom. Its work is focused in four core areas:
▪ Teaching Military History ▪ Teaching Asia ▪ Teaching the Middle East and 9/11 ▪ Teaching the History of Innovation
The Center reaches teachers and classrooms across the nation through Footnotes, its bulletin for educators, which are frequently reprinted in American Educator and other education journals and posted at other websites; through webcasts for high school classrooms; through the books it produces with Mason Crest; and through its History Institutes for Teachers.
Walter McDougall and David Eisenhower co-chair the Center’s History Institute for Teachers. The Institute receives generous funding from the Annenberg Foundation, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, H.F. Lenfest, and the Stuart Family Foundation, and in-kind support from the Cantigny First Division Foundation, a division of the McCormick Foundation.
Each weekend-long program provides some 40 educators from around the country the opportunity to learn directly from the top scholars in their fields on subjects teachers are often under-prepared to teach. Many more teachers access the videotapes, reports, classroom lessons, and other materials posted at our website. In 2008, we held four Institutes:
22 Teaching the History of Innovation October 2008 Hosted by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Kansas City, MO.
This will be followed by a webcast for students on Innovation on November 18, as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week.
What Students Need to Know about America’s Wars, Part I – 1622-1919 July 2008 Hosted by the Cantigny First Division Foundation, Wheaton, IL
America in the Civil War Era, 1829–77 May 2008 Hosted by Carthage College, Kenosha, WI
China’s Encounter with the West March 2008 Hosted by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
The following excerpt from an article on one teacher’s experience at the March 2008 history institute gives a sense of what teachers get out of these weekends: China’s influence extends to Pennridge By Theresa Hegel, April 10, 2008 The Intelligencer With the Summer Olympics in Beijing around the corner, China is likely to dominate the media in the coming months. If you ask Pennridge world cultures teacher Jim Valletta, the history-rich country is showing its dominance in many other arenas, though “Americans have been a little blind to (it).” He predicts that this century will be ruled by the Pacific world, not the Atlantic world, as was the case in the previous century.
23 Valletta, who has been teaching at Pennridge since 1994, was chosen to attend a conference last month about China’s dealings with the West. The weekend-long conference, held at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, was arranged by the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Wachman Center. FPRI, a Philadelphia- based nonprofit, holds a series of such history institutes to give high school teachers access to cutting-edge scholarship on world affairs. Valletta said he was very impressed with FPRI and called the conference “a great opportunity for me to be exposed to what experts have to say about China.”
In publishing, the Wachman Center continues a partnership begun in 2002 with Mason Crest Publishers. This partnership has so far produced three book series for middle school and high school students: Making of the Middle East, Modern Middle East Nations, and The Growth and Influence of Islam. The Mason Crest volumes are beautifully designed, including numerous maps and photos, and the content, while accessible to students, is neither “dumbed down” nor subject to the “political correctness” characteristic of college campuses. The School Library Journal wrote that the Modern Middle East Nations volumes were “the best introductions to the political conflict currently in print for this age group.” And one reviewer wrote of Alan Luxenberg’s more recent The Palestine Mandate and the Creation of Israel, part of the Making of the Middle East series: “The reader will be treated to a clarity of writing rarely seen in social studies series books for pre-college age students. S/he will also meet with a striving for objectivity that is the hallmark of the discipline of historical writing.… Trivia is excluded while the essentials of the historical record are told; the glossary and timeline entries are concise and devoid of propaganda…. This imprint has succeeded in setting a standard that puts to shame the amateurish, error-ridden, biased work one too often finds in other publishers’ social studies series. Includes an index, glossary, timeline, short bibliography and list of Internet resources plus maps and archival photographs.” (Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter, May-June 2008) Currently under development or discussion are joint FPRI-Mason Crest series on military history and on Islam and terrorism, as is an update of the Modern Middle East Nations series.

28 IN MEMORIAM
FPRI notes with sadness the passing on December 23, 2007, of Marvin Wachman, its president from 1983-89. As our president, he initiated our public programming, initially in the form of the Inter-University Seminar on Foreign Affairs. Other programs soon followed, including “Global Classroom.” FPRI’s education program today, the Wachman Marvin Wachman Center, is named in his honor. Marvin was also president of both Lincoln and Temple Universities and interim president of two other Pennsylvania colleges.
FPRI also lost this year, on February 11, long-time trustee Frank Piasecki, an aviation pioneer who invented the big twin- rotor helicopter that has carried soldiers into battle and rescued thousands from disaster.

33 34 35 arines have always been first to preserve our ideals, fight for our M freedom, and forge the path for our nation’s future. But that unconditional commitment to our country comes at a great personal cost—from the modest means and duress of military life, to the very real possibility of leaving a family behind—this is a life of both great honor and tremendous sacrifice.

50 Discover Philadelphia’s world-renowned conservatory… The Curtis Institute of Music
“Throughout the world there are many distinguished addresses for music. 1726 Locust Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19103 is considered the most distinguished. Whoever has entered and left the rather unpretentious gray building, which dates from the turn of the century, whether as a pupil, as a teacher, or in both capacities, may count himself part of a musical aristocracy which clearly has produced only kings.” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
