  • Glasnost & Goodwill Highlights Washington's Grassroots Cold War
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 28, 2017 MEDIA CONTACT: Julianna Verboort, Marketing and Communications Director, Washington State Historical Society, 253-798-5902, [email protected] Visionaries and risk takers: Glasnost & Goodwill highlights Washington’s grassroots Cold War activists Tacoma, WA - By the 1980s, there were thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at the United States, and an equal number targeted at the Soviet Union. The arms race was running out of control and only a vague notion of “mutually assured destruction” stood between war and peace for the world’s superpowers. And yet, citizens did not sit idly by. Quietly a movement formed, built by citizen diplomats who reached across the Pacific to engage their neighbors, one conversation at a time. Washingtonians, in particular, saw an opportunity to bring peace with their neighbors through business partnerships, sister-city relationships, and cultural exchanges. Presented by the Washington State Historical Society, Glasnost and Goodwill: Citizen Diplomacy in the Northwest is an invigorating plunge into how citizen diplomacy in Washington and the greater Northwest contributed to the thawing of the Cold War. Glasnost & Goodwill is brought to life through compelling photographs, rare videos, fascinating oral histories, and authentic artifacts that trace the rise of grassroots diplomacy in Northwest from the late 1930s through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and beyond. Many of the citizen activists contributed to and were involved in creating the exhibition. Their stories reveal the levels of fear and hope that drove their unprecedented actions. In 1987, Lynne Cox became the first person to swim the Bering Strait between the United States and the Soviet Union.

  • Sean Lowry, Cold War Memorial (2013) Thought Projection Over
    Sean Lowry, Cold War Memorial (2013) Thought projection over Bering Strait (168°58'37’W) with visual schema During the Cold War, the Bering Strait marked the physical border between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although it is not possible to physically see the 55 miles across the Bering Strait, as Sarah Palin reminded us in her now infamous September 11 2008 ABC interview ‘…you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.’ Beyond the banality of Palin’s command of international relations, it is nonetheless true that there are two islands in the middle of the Bering Strait: Big Diomede (the easternmost point of Russia), and Little Diomede (part of the United States). At their closest point, the two islands are approximately 2.4 miles apart. Given that the horizon is approximately 2.9 miles away at sea level, on a clear day it is indeed possible to see Russia from U.S. territory. The Diomede Islands are however typically blanketed by dense fog. Although geographically remote to key Cold War boundaries such as Berlin, the Korean Demilitarized Zone and the Florida Straits, Little Diomede Island was once the only place from which one could literally see the Soviet Union from U.S. territory. Together with an international border, the International Date Line also separates the islands (at 168°58'37’W). During winter, an ice bridge spans the distance between the two islands, making it possible to walk between the islands. During the Cold War, this space was referred to as the ‘Ice Curtain’.

Swimming to Antarctica by Lynne Cox 11 March 2009, 12:00 am Swimming to Antarctica Lynne Cox ISBN:9780156031301 About the book: Now in paperback, with photos and maps added especially for this new edition, here is the acclaimed life story of a woman whose drive and determination inspire everyone she touches. Lynne Cox started swimming almost as soon as she could walk. By age sixteen, she had broken all records for swimming the English Channel. Her daring eventually led her to the Bering Strait, where she swam five miles in thirty- eight-degree water in just a swimsuit, cap, and goggles. In between those accomplishments, she became the first to swim the Strait of Magellan, narrowly escaped a shark attack of the Cape of Good Hope, and was cheered across the twenty-mile Cook Strait of New Zealand by dolphins. She even swam a mile in the Antarctic. Lynne writes the same way she swims, with indefatigable spirit and joy, and shares the beauty of her time in the water with a poet’s eye for detail. She has accomplished yet another feat–writing a new classic of sports memoir. About the author: LYNNE COX has set records all over the world for open-water swimming.

  • The Russian-U.S. Borderland: Opportunities and Barriers, Desires and Fears
    The Russian-U.S. Borderland: Opportunities and Barriers, Desires and Fears Serghei Golunov∗ Abstract The paper focuses on the Russia-U.S. cross-border area that lies in the Bering Sea region. Employing the concept of geographical proximity, I argue that the U.S.-Russian proximity works in a limited number of cases and for relatively few kinds of actors, such as companies supplying Chukotka with American goods, border guards conducting rescue operations, organizers of environmental projects and cruise tours, and aboriginal communities. The impressive territorial proximity between Asia and North America induces ambitious and sometimes widely advertised official and public desires of conquering the spatial divide, promoted by extreme travellers and planners of transcontinental tunnel or bridge projects. At the same time, cooperation is seriously hindered by limited economic potential of the Russian North-East, weakness of transportation networks, harsh climate, and pervasive alarmist sentiments on the Russian side of the border. Introduction Russian and U.S. territories are situated close to each other in the areas of the Bering Sea: the shortest distance between the closest islands across the border is less than four kilometers. However, the nearby territories are sparsely populated and have limited resources that make intensive cooperation between them problematic while larger cities are situated at a much larger distance across the border. The area where Russian and U.S. territories are close to each other can be conceptualized as a geographical proximity that is a multidimensional, relational, and highly subjective phenomenon. In what respects and for whom does the Russia-U.S. proximity matter? To what extent does it matter for cross-border cooperation? What kinds of desires does such proximity induce? Are there some pervasive alarmist sentiments linked with proximity and, if there are, what ways do they influence cross-border interaction? To respond to these questions, the following issues are addressed.

  • A History of the Catalina Channel Swims Since 1927 by Dr. Penny Lee Dean Copyright 1980 Revised 2012, 1996, 1994, 1988
    A History of the Catalina Channel Swims Since 1927 by Dr. Penny Lee Dean Copyright 1980 Revised 2012, 1996, 1994, 1988 Abstract The purpose of the book is to develop a history of the swimming crossings of the Catalina Channel since the first swim was completed in 1927. On January 15, 1927 George Young won the Wrigley Ocean Marathon swim across the Catalina Channel in 15 hours, 44 minutes, and 30 seconds. Within three months of the Wrigley Ocean Marathon, four swimmers successfully tackled the Catalina Channel. Between 1927 and 1952 only two men conquered the Channel, but from 1952 to 1958 eleven swimmers crossed the Channel. Numerous attempts were made between 1958 and 1970 but none were successful. In the early 1970's and again in the late 1970's, the men's and women's speed records were rewritten. There were twenty-nine crossings by seventeen swimmers in the 1970's. From 1980 through 1989 there were thirty two individual crossings and twelve relay crossings. The book is further broken into the following sections from 1990 to 1999; 2000 to 2004; 2005 to 2007;2008; 2009; 2010; 2011; Around the Island swims and 2012. In 2011 the overall relay record was broken and in 2012 the women’s record and overall record from Catalina to the mainland was smashed. Numerous records were broken, especially that of the oldest person to swim the Catalina Channel (which was broken three times) and the relay record. From 1927 through the 2012 season there were two hundred and fifty-one (251) people who swam Catalina.
