    http://www.ucalgary.ca/hic • ISSN 1492-7810 2010/11 • Vol. 9, No. 1 Whittaker Chambers: The Lonely Voice of Tragedy on the Postwar Right Hyrum Lewis Abstract In historical discourse, Whittaker Chambers has too easily been lumped in with other midcentury conservative anti- communists. While those on the right have held him up as a hero in the American struggle for victory against “godless communism” and those on the left see him as exemplary of the excesses and damaging overzealousness of the early Cold War, Chambers defies such simplistic categorization. His subtle, nuanced thought differed considerably from that of other conservative intellectuals of the time and drew from sources outside the standard conservative canon. Thus, this despairing existentialist became an inspiration and a model for the America Right even as he differed with those he inspired on philosophical essentials. Historians commonly remember Whittaker Chambers as the central witness in one of the most important spy cases of the twentieth century and as one of the founders and icons of conservative anti-communism. Born in 1901 and raised in a middle-class Long Island home, Chambers went off to Columbia University as a young man, but then dropped out to join the communist underground. In the late 1930s, disillusioned by Stalin’s purges and the Nazi-Soviet pact, Chambers defected from communism, underwent a religious conversion, moved to a Maryland farm, and took a job as a book reviewer, foreign affairs columnist, and senior editor at Time magazine where he became one of the leading anti-communist journalists in America.

  • 15 Little Cesar by Ralph De Toledano 1971.Pdf
    Little Cesar Ralph de Toledano 1971 Foreword by United States Senator Paul J. Fannin There is much in this book to worry Americans. But what is most significant to me is the light it casts on the forgotten people of the “great grape strike” and the boycott which brought success to Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers’ Organizing Committee, and the AFL-CIO. Those forgotten people were the men and women who actually pick the grapes in the San Joaquin Valley. They bitterly opposed—and still do—the efforts of the Chavez group to force them into the straightjacket of a compulsory union—and one which has reverted to the closed shop practices which were declared illegal by the Congress in 1974. Most grape pickers of Delano knew that the Chavez “union” wouldreduce the size of their paychecks and deprive them of the freedom of action they had always enjoyed—and their fears proved to be true. The workers felt no sympathy for the revolutionary doctrines, espoused by Chavez and his handful of followers, which they tied to their unsupported demands for collective bargaining. But the forgotten people wee crushed by the machine. With almost unlimited funds from the great labor aggregations at his disposal, and the massive assistance of an unquestioning mass media, Cesar Chavez was able to deprive the grape pickers of their rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution. In this tragic process, the UFWOC and the AFL-CIO were the upper millstone. The grape growers of Delano were the nether millstone. Compelled by the threat of bankruptcy to sign contracts with Chavez, the growers agreed to arrangements which sold the grape workers into the indenture of a closed shop—with no other choice but go hungry.

Wesemann, Master of Arts Utah State University, 2019 Committee Chair: Randy Williams, MS Department: English Most people are familiar with the Enola Gay—the B-29 that dropped Little Boy, the first atomic bomb, over the city of Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. Less known are the fifteen Silverplate B-29 airplanes that trained for the mission, that were named and later adorned with nose art. However, in recorded history, the atomic mission overshadowed the occupational folklore of this group. Because the abundance of planes were scrapped in the decade after World War II and most WWII veterans have passed on, all that remains of their occupational folklore are photographs, oral and written histories, some books, and two iconic airplanes in museum exhibits. Yet, the public’s infatuation and curiosity with nose art keeps the tradition alive. The purpose of my graduate project and internship with the Hill Aerospace Museum was to collaborate on a 60-foot exhibit that analyzes the humanizing aspects of the Silverplate B-29 nose art from the 509th Composite Group and show how nose art functioned in three ways.
