I then saw the same gentleman, with a white male Navy Lieutenant who I later learned was running back toward the driveway of the Admiral's resiaence. At that point, I notified a coworker, that something didn't look right. I proceeded to leave the Historical Center and head over to the Admiral's residence. I heard a commotion (men yelling) coming from the garden located in the Admiral's residence. I made my way back to the garden and observed performinq CPR on Admiral Boorda.

  • “Revolutionary Change at Evolutionary Speed”: Women and the United States Naval Academy
    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History Volume 1 Number 1 April 2002 “Revolutionary Change at Evolutionary Speed”: Women and the United States Naval Academy H. Michael Gelfand On the evening of 4 May 1972, the Brigade of Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy hurriedly left their mess hall.1 As they usually did every night, many midshipmen took pieces of fruit for evening snacks.2 But that night, instead of returning to their rooms or going to study, the midshipmen filed in to the Academy’s Field House. There, Superintendent James Calvert introduced a guest lecturer, feminist leader Gloria Steinem.3 Steinem approached the podium, and began her speech by remarking that “women have been much too docile and too law abiding for too long, but I think that era is about to end.”4 Once the laughter subsided, Steinem declared that “there are very few jobs that require a penis or a vagina, and all other jobs should be open to everyone.”5 Some midshipmen reacted to these comments, “tossing fruit in the air.”6 Others threw oranges onto the stage, but as one alumnus recalled, “we were just yanking her chain.”7 Steinem, in fact, enjoyed the “excitement and high spirits” of the midshipmen.8 She concluded by telling them that the Academy would be a different place in ten years; “some day,” she predicted, “there will be 50 percent female cadets here and some day the mystique will have changed.”9 Although her estimated percentage was off, Steinem was correct in her prophecy: by the early 1980s, women were indeed both midshipmen and Naval Academy graduates.

  • Act II, Signature Xvii - (1)
    We can also trace that peculiar social movement which led some factories, ships, restaurants, and households to clean up their backstages to such an extent that, like monks, Communists, or German aldermen, their guards are always up and there is no place where their front is down, while at the same time members of the audience become sufficiently entranced with the society's id to explore the places that had been cleaned up for them [Erving Goffman, The Presentation of Self (New York: Anchor Press, 1959), p. 247]. II — xvii — What Was That Good For? Coalition forces pour into Ossian. In Las Vegas, Roveretto Messimo ponders taking on a new client to pay his bills. A U.S. detachment breaks into the Impersonal Terrace while Fuald, deported back to Ossian, plots revenge by organizing the looting of the Hermitage.

Whitfield first produced the song — a blatant anti-Vietnam War protest — with The Temptations as the original vocalists. After Motown began receiving repeated requests to release "War" as a single, Whitfield re-recorded the song with Edwin Starr as the vocalist, deciding to withhold the Temptations ' version so as not to alienate their more conservative fans.

  • Vietnam to the Gulf War by Fred Dupont
    STORIES OF WAR: Vietnam to the Gulf War By Fred DuPont Copyright 2017 1 DEDICATION To all of those who have given their lives so that we may live in freedom. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This humble work could not have been possible without the assistance of many people: Peter “Stash” Guinta, USMC 67-69 who applied his expert wordsmithing skills to make it more readable. Eric Kenny who gathered the names of 9th Engineers as he traveled the country for 20 years as an insurance inspector for the State of Illinois. Mike Cummins, Sr. who compiled those names in a usable data base with the help of his son. Mike Cummins, Jr., who also hosts the website: 9thEngineers.com All of my fellow Marines and Shipmates who contributed their inputs to these stories. And especially my wife, Diane, for supporting me all these years. Like the bumper sticker says, “Navy Wife, The Toughest Job in The Navy.” 3 PREFACE Although I served with many brave men, I am no hero. While many around me were wounded or disabled, I was not. 9th Engineers Reunion Association meets once a year somewhere in the U.S. and serves to keep us in touch. This year I was privileged to have the reunion in my home town of St. Augustine. It was not until the 2008 reunion that I began to write this after finding most of the official records from Vietnam were destroyed when the battalion pulled out in 1970. Many phone calls, emails and interviews were necessary to ensure accuracy. Research about the Navy stories was far easier because every time we deployed a Cruise Book was printed replete with names and photos of all hands.

Bruce E. Ivins, a biodefense researcher at Fort Detrick, MD AP Photo/Frederick News Post, Sam Yu http://ap.google.com/media/ALeqM5hBRcp34Bso0_pAVCjgan5S3vueHw?size=s Ivins and his attorney, Paul F.

Zackerie aka Dr. Zack, for sending the anthrax letters that led to the death of numerous people post 9/11. It was Zackerie, who had supervised Ivins, was photographed handling the strain of lethal anthrax that wound up in the envelopes sent after 9/11.
