Interview with Ambassador Daniel A. O'donohue Library of Congress Interview with Ambassador Daniel A. O'Donohue The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR DANIEL A. O'DONOHUE Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: May 28, 1996 Copyright 2000 ADST Q: Today is May 28, 1996. This is an interview with Ambassador Daniel A. O'Donohue, being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. Well, let's start at the beginning. Would you tell me when and where you were born and something about your family? O'DONOHUE: I was born on October 27, 1931, in Detroit, Michigan. Both my father and mother were immigrants from Ireland, although they had met in Detroit. I was the first-born in the family. My father was a bus driver. I spent all of my youth in Detroit. Q: We're talking about when the Great Depression hit the United States. O'DONOHUE: Yes, although in those days the condition of “poverty” was so widespread that, as a child, I hardly noticed it, as a matter of fact. I can't really claim that the Depression ever bore very heavily on me. Q: I think that that's true of most of us at that time. It wasn't that bad a time for kids. O'DONOHUE: That's right. This was an utterly different kind of American society. This was actually the beginning of a period of “lean years.” We were children growing up in an Interview with Ambassador Daniel A. O'Donohue http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001427 Library of Congress adult society, unlike the “baby boom” after World War II, when children were the focus of society. It was an unexceptional childhood. Then I went to the University of Detroit. Q: Where did you go to high school? O'DONOHUE: Catholic Central High School in Detroit. Q: Did you get much material on foreign affairs? We're talking about the period of World War II. O'DONOHUE: Well, I had always had, and indeed quite clearly the reason why I was interested and entered the Foreign Service, was that I was an omnivorous reader. I was particularly interested in history. At that age I wouldn't have described this as “foreign or international affairs.” In effect, I was reading a great deal and continued to do so throughout my life. At the University of Detroit I actually majored in chemistry. Then, in my junior year I found out that I was color blind. I received a Bachelor of Science degree and went into the military. Up until that point, I had never heard of the Foreign Service, having come out of an immigrant milieu. Q: When did you graduate from the University of Detroit? O'DONOHUE: I received my degree in 1953. I served two years in the Army, including one year in Korea. Q: What did you do in Korea? O'DONOHUE: I was assigned to a very strange group. It was a special category of the Army, detailed to serve with the Air Force. It had a very mysterious title but, in fact, it was an Aviation Battalion which built airfields. In Korea. I was first assigned to Kimpo Air Base, which was called “K-14” in those days. I was briefly at “K-55” Air Base, a large air base Interview with Ambassador Daniel A. O'Donohue http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001427 Library of Congress down near Osan [about 30 miles South of Seoul]. Then, for most of my time in Korea, I was at “K-16” Air Base on Yoido Island in the middle of the Han River near Seoul. In those days “K-16” could take a C-47 transport aircraft. During the rainy season one end of the air strip was flooded, and we were evacuated at that time. Later it was the site of a massive land fill, where there now may be a million people living on what had once been a very small island. When I came back from the Army, I then entered Wayne State University in Detroit, where I obtained a Masters Degree in Public Administration in 1955. Early in the fall of that year a friend of mine told me that there was an examination for the Foreign Service and suggested that we take it. Up until then I had not known that we had a Foreign Service, but I took the Foreign Service examination in October, 1955. Then, events proceeded in a slow manner which, I think, are as true today as they were then. I took and passed the written exam, passed the oral, and, at that point, became much more seriously interested in foreign affairs. The process finally ended in July, 1957, when I entered the Foreign Service. Q: Could you give us a little feel for the oral exam you took? Do you remember how and when it was given? O'DONOHUE: Yes. It was given regionally. I drove down to Cincinnati from Detroit. As I remember, there were three examiners. The examination was heavily oriented toward foreign affairs with emphasis on how I expressed myself. I would say that it was quite “open ended.” That is, the questions didn't lend themselves to “Yes” or “No” answers. Indeed, the examiners let me ramble on. However, the questions were all related either to government, foreign affairs, or international developments. As I said, they were really questions to elicit responses. The examination was conducted in a fairly low key way by the three examiners. As I recall it, it lasted for about an hour or an hour and 20 minutes. I didn't feel that it was an “interrogation.” On the other hand, I Interview with Ambassador Daniel A. O'Donohue http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001427 Library of Congress felt that I had been put to a thorough test. As I remember, I left the room at the end of the exam. Later, one of the examiners came out and said that I had passed. Q: Were you married when you entered the Foreign Service? O'DONOHUE: No. Q: After you took the written exam, were you starting to make some inquiries about what the Foreign Service was? If you did, I was wondering what people told you. O'DONOHUE: Well, in Detroit and among the people that I associated with, the Foreign Service was really quite a mysterious thing. When I passed the written exam, I became more interested in the Foreign Service. At the same time, then as now, you couldn't “bank your future” on it. So, while waiting for all of the events involved in entering the Foreign Service to unfold, I went to Lansing to work in the State Government. Essentially, I was quite ignorant about the Foreign Service. Although I had majored in chemistry, I had two strengths. There was my massive reading in history and foreign affairs. Then, I also had a practical and solid grounding in American politics and government, because my father had been very active in the Democratic Party. Indeed, he had the rather ignominious experience of having been a campaign manager in 1932 for a Democratic candidate for Congress in Detroit who lost in the Roosevelt landslide. So this kind of influence obviously affected me. I was essentially ignorant of the Foreign Service, outside of descriptions of what it did. My approach was somewhat like the Navy slogan of joining the Foreign Service “to see the world.” Although, during this period the Wriston program had the State Department and the Foreign Service in a state of turmoil, I knew nothing of this. A measure of my ignorance was that I delayed entering the Foreign Service for a year because I had made a commitment to take this particular job in the State Government. Meanwhile, those who had gone to Georgetown University and elsewhere had “rushed in” to the Foreign Service. They had come in as FSO-6's in the old system and then had become FSO-7's in the new 8 grade system. As they were Interview with Ambassador Daniel A. O'Donohue http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001427 Library of Congress literally the only FSO-7's, they were quickly promoted to FSO-6, while I came in as an FSO-8 and struggled for several years before I caught up with them. Indeed, one of my classmates was sworn in while he was in the hospital. He had gone to Georgetown and had come down with “mumps.” They swore him in when he was in his hospital bed. At that time the Foreign Service was paternalistic and highly personalized. Q: When did you take the Basic Officer Course? O'DONOHUE: In July, 1957. Q: Could you tell us something about the composition of your class at the Foreign Service Institute? What was their outlook and what kind of training did you receive? O'DONOHUE: First of all, we were in the midst of a tremendous expansion. The Foreign Service expanded in the sense that it took over many jobs which had previously been under the Civil Service. It wasn't so much that the State Department grew immensely, but the Foreign Service was suddenly recruiting for a much larger entity. The Foreign Service Institute [FSI] was training one class of new officers a month. There was a great sense of excitement and adventure. Like me, there were other, new officers for whom the Foreign Service was a career that they had not previously thought of. Then, in 1956-57, when the Foreign Service broadened its recruitment, the FSI classes grew in size.

As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

Marillion – prekursor powrotu rocka progresywnego w latach 80. XX wieku – nie był i nie będzie postrzegany jako jedna z najważniejszych grup tego gatunku.

  • Fish Biog 2018 in September 1988 Edinburgh Born Singer Derek
    Fish Biog 2018 In September 1988 Edinburgh born singer Derek William Dick, better known by his stage name ‘Fish’ resigned from his position as lead singer with world renowned progressive rock band ‘Marillion’ in a move that shocked both fans and the music business alike. The band were seemingly at the peak of their powers selling out arenas across Europe and having just released their album ‘Clutching at Straws’ in 1987 to critical acclaim following the multi-platinum 1985 album ’Misplaced Childhood’ they looked like they had the world at their feet. ‘Clutching at Straws’ was seen by many to be their best album yet and offered the beginning of an exciting new creative era for the band. “I adored ‘Clutching’. It was very personal to me and painful both writing and especially recording in the studio where confrontations were regular occurrences. We started writing “songs”, not just “bits” that were joined together. ‘Hotel Hobbies’ was a throwback to ‘Misplaced’ but we broke out on ‘Warm Wet Circles’ into bona fide song writing. ‘Incommunicado’ the band really didn’t like when we put it together. They thought it was too simple, a throwaway ‘jam’ .I loved it, it was plugged into my own influences and I admit very ‘Who’ ‘Quadrophenia’, one of my favourite albums. I loved the energy we created. It to me represented the original ‘Marillion attitude’ we had before we became ‘successful’. The fact they didn’t get turned on by it summed up the differences” Behind the scenes internal conflict continued over musical directions and managerial and business issues simmered.

    Marillion goes PHOTO: NIELS VAN IPEREN Somewhere Else It has been nearly a quarter century since Marillion arose at Band considers its chemistry the forefront of progressive rock’s second wave in the early th 1980s. During that span the band gradually adapted to a tighter than ever on 14 changing musical landscape, morphing from prototypical neo- progressive band, replete with references to Peter Gabriel-era studio release Genesis, to crack contemporary rock band. Rock, yes — but still progressive? According to guitarist Steve Rothery, yes, probably, but bassist Pete Trewavas isn’t so sure. By ROSS BOISSONEAU “It’s a rock band,” Trewavas says flatly, before adding, “I’m not even sure it’s a rock band.” “Some people call you progressive,” says Rothery, “but they mean that as an insult, like the worst ‘70s excess or self- indulgent twaddle. The true meaning is it doesn’t have to conform to short-radio format. “You can absorb classical, jazz. It [progressive music] has more meaning than most conventional pop songs. In that regard, yes, we’re a progressive band.” Drummer Ian Mosley is more succinct. “I’ve never really thought about progressive rock, I much prefer to think of music as good or bad – whether it’s long or short,” he says. Not that this discussion settles anything definitively. Marillion long has been considered a standard-bearer among second-generation prog bands, along with outfits such as Pallas and Pendragon, which followed on the heels of Kansas and 42 Progression 51 • Spring/Summer 2007 Rush and the “golden-era” groups who pioneered progressive “We’ve improved as musicians, and I think we’ve learned rock in the ‘70s – the likes of King Crimson, Yes, and Emerson, the craft of writing and arranging,” says Trewavas of the new Lake & Palmer.

  • “Het Voelt Alsof Ik Nog Één Album in Mij Heb”
    “HET VOELT ALSOF IK NOG ÉÉN ALBUM IN MIJ HEB” Interview Fish – De Oosterpoort, Groningen (22 april 2016 ) Met Marillion’s hitsingle Kayleigh zal hij altijd in één adem genoemd worden: Derek William Dick, beter bekend als Fish. Ook zijn naderende afscheid als muzikant in 2018 zal daar weinig aan veranderen. Hoewel Kayleigh in Neder- land niet verder kwam dan de 16 e plaats in de Top 40 bleef Marillion hier door de jaren heen enorm populair. In 2015 was Fish voor het laatst in Groningen, toen zijn optreden op het laatste moment werd geannuleerd omdat toetsenist John Beck kort daarvoor zijn arm had gebroken. Op vrijdag 22 april 2016 is Fish weer terug, deze keer met een ongedeerde toetsenist in zijn band… ’s Middags spreek ik de Schotse zanger in De Oosterpoort, waar hij druk rokend vertelt over alles wat hem bezig houdt. Want Fish is veel meer dan alleen Marillion. Hij is acteur in een aantal tv-series, schrijver van zijn eigen biografie, fanatiek supporter van de Schotse voetbalclub Hibernian en heeft maar liefst tien soloalbums uitgebracht. Kom meer te weten over deze veelzijdige muzikant, die zijn bijzondere bij- naam te danken heeft aan het feit dat hij graag lang in bad zit: Fish! Tekst: Godfried Nevels Vorig jaar zou je hier ook optreden maar… “Ja, ook Pipeline , The Perception of Johnny Hunter , “toen brak John [toetsenist John Beck] zijn arm.

Je zal het vanavond zien.” waren op die plek en daar hing een vloek over…” Ik las dat je het concept van Misplaced Childhood in Gaat het nu goed met hem? zeer korte tijd hebt geschreven.
