And Station KFI is playing an im- portant part in this public service. It’s a three-way cooperative job. The United States Weather Bureau staff at Burbank makes the temperature and trend forecasts— and with surprising accuracy it may be said. The weather facts are inter- preted in the light of agricultural use or crop-hazard by members of the Los An- geles County staff of the Agricultural Ex- tension Service. Then this information is relayed to Station KFI for broadcast by the Noon Farm Reporter. During the season when frost is a hazard a preliminary forecast is given at noon, and then a close-up of what may be expected is given at eight o’clock by Floyd D. Young. It’s a service highly valued by citrus, avocado, truck crop and other agri- cultural industries of the southland.

  • Ich Bin Ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL
    Ich Bin ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL Abstract Delivered in the midst of the Cold Wa.r; John F. Kennedy's brief speech in front of the Berlin Wall proclaimed solidarity with the German people._Although the final words of the speech, "!ch bin ein Berliner", could theoretically have been interpreted to mean "I am a jelly dough­ nut", the crowds in attendance understood precisely his meaning. This paper will examine the background of the speech, Kennedy's reaction to the Berlin wall, and the authenticity of his sentiments, while discrediting the myth of misinterpretation. The significance of this speech lies in providing credibility with Berliners that would allow Kennedy to argue for coex­ istence with the Communists, and defusing potentially volatile East-West animosities, rather than debate over German syntax and jelly doughnuts. "For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." This line from Paul's second letter to the church at Corinth is used as a curious opening line in der Spiegel's June 26, 1963 article on JFK's recent visit to Germany and his impassioned speech in Berlin. Delivered by Kenne­ dy in the midst of the Cold War as thousands of Germans thronged the streets to listen, it pro­ claimed solidarity with the German people as he stated, "all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin ..

    OUTPOST OF FREEDOM: A GERMAN-AMERICAN NETWORK’S CAMPAIGN TO BRING COLD WAR DEMOCRACY TO WEST BERLIN, 1933-72 Scott H. Krause A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher R. Browning Klaus W. Larres Susan Dabney Pennybacker Donald M. Reid Benjamin Waterhouse © 2015 Scott H. Krause ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Scott H. Krause: Outpost of Freedom: A German-American Network’s Campaign to bring Cold War Democracy to West Berlin, 1933-66 (under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) This study explores Berlin’s sudden transformation from the capital of Nazi Germany to bastion of democracy in the Cold War. This project has unearthed how this remarkable development resulted from a transatlantic campaign by liberal American occupation officials, and returned émigrés, or remigrés, of the Marxist Social Democratic Party (SPD). This informal network derived from members of “Neu Beginnen” in American exile. Concentrated in wartime Manhattan, their identity as German socialists remained remarkably durable despite the Nazi persecution they faced and their often-Jewish background. Through their experiences in New Deal America, these self-professed “revolutionary socialists” came to emphasize “anti- totalitarianism,” making them suspicious of Stalinism. Serving in the OSS, leftists such as Hans Hirschfeld forged friendships with American left-wing liberals. These experiences connected a wider network of remigrés and occupiers by forming an epistemic community in postwar Berlin. They recast Berlin’s ruins as “Outpost of Freedom” in the Cold War.
