  • JAMES A. BAKER, III the Case for Pragmatic Idealism Is Based on an Optimis- Tic View of Man, Tempered by Our Knowledge of Human Imperfection
    Extract from Raising the Bar: The Crucial Role of the Lawyer in Society, by Talmage Boston. © State Bar of Texas 2012. Available to order at texasbarbooks.net. TWO MOST IMPORTANT LAWYERS OF THE LAST FIFTY YEARS 67 concluded his Watergate memoirs, The Right and the Power, with these words that summarize his ultimate triumph in “raising the bar”: From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known: our Constitution works. And during the Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one—absolutely no one—is above the law.29 JAMES A. BAKER, III The case for pragmatic idealism is based on an optimis- tic view of man, tempered by our knowledge of human imperfection. It promises no easy answers or quick fixes. But I am convinced that it offers our surest guide and best hope for navigating our great country safely through this precarious period of opportunity and risk in world affairs.30 In their historic careers, Leon Jaworski and James A. Baker, III, ended up in the same place—the highest level of achievement in their respective fields as lawyers—though they didn’t start from the same place. Leonidas Jaworski entered the world in 1905 as the son of Joseph Jaworski, a German-speaking Polish immigrant, who went through Ellis Island two years before Leon’s birth and made a modest living as an evangelical pastor leading small churches in Central Texas towns. James A. Baker, III, entered the world in 1930 as the son, grand- son, and great-grandson of distinguished lawyers all named James A.

  • The Art of Compromise 1
    LFCG 21 The Art of Compromise 1" RICHARD: This episode is about the power of compromise and why that can be crucial to making progress. It's a style of leadership and decision-making that runs counter to much of what we see in Washington today. We discuss the remarkable career of James Baker, a man who was never elected to any major post but was right at the center of American power for three decades.#$ This is Let's Find Common Ground from Common Ground Committee. I'm Richard Davies.$ ASHLEY: And I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte. James Baker had a remarkable career, Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, and White House Chief of Sta% twice. He helped end the Cold War and reunify Germany. Baker assembled the International Coalition to Fight the Gulf War, negotiated a rewrite of the U.S. tax code, and ran five presidential campaigns.#$ RICHARD: In the words of a new book, he was "the man who ran Washington." That book's coauthors, Peter Baker, no relation to the man he writes about, and his wife, Susan Glasser.#$ ASHLEY: Susan is Sta% Correspondent for The New Yorker, and she writes a weekly Letter from Washington for the magazine.$ RICHARD: Peter is Chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times. Our first question goes to Susan. Why is it worth learning about Jim Baker now as a new administration is about to begin?$ SUSAN: Because his story is the story of Washington at a very di%erent moment, at a moment not only when Washington ran the world but also when it was forced to function in a di%erent way.

    CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission Planning and Development Department PROTECTED LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: The Angelo and Lillian Minella House AGENDA ITEM: IV OWNER: Ben Koush HPO FILE NO.: 06PL20 APPLICANT: Ben Koush DATE ACCEPTED: Feb-13-06 LOCATION: 6328 Brookside Drive – Simms Woods Addition HAHC HEARING DATE: Feb-23-06 30-DAY HEARING NOTICE: N/A PC HEARING: Mar-02-06 SITE INFORMATION Lot 12, Block 6, Simms Woods Addition, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The site includes a historic one-story, concrete block residence and concrete block garage. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Protected Landmark Designation for residence and garage. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Minella House is a significant example of modern, residential architecture as it evolved in mid- twentieth century Houston. It is significant because of its unusual all masonry construction, contemporary design by Houston architect, Allen R. Williams, Jr. It is an example of the Century Built Homes, variations on a standark design, of which the Minella House seemed to be most fully resolved. Its owners, Angelo and Lillian Minella, owned and operated a plumbing supply company in the East End for decades. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE Lillian and Angelo Minella were originally from the Boston area. Minella worked as a plumber at 366-374 Washington Street in the 1930s in the Brighton Center, Massachusetts commercial area, which had a large Italian-American population.i As late as 1942 Angelo and Lillian were listed in the Essex County City Directory as living on Stanwood Avenue in Gloucester, Massachusetts.ii The Minellas probably left for Texas shortly thereafter.

  • Pictured Aboved Are Two of UCLA's Greatest Basketball Figures – on The
    Pictured aboved are two of UCLA’s greatest basketball figures – on the left, Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) alongside the late head coach John R. Wooden. Alcindor helped lead UCLA to consecutive NCAA Championships in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Coach Wooden served as the Bruins’ head coach from 1948-1975, helping UCLA win 10 NCAA Championships in his 24 years at the helm. 111 RETIRED JERSEY NUMBERS #25 GAIL GOODRICH Ceremony: Dec. 18, 2004 (Pauley Pavilion) When UCLA hosted Michigan on Dec. 18, 2004, Gail Goodrich has his No. 25 jersey number retired, becoming the school’s seventh men’s basketball player to achieve the honor. A member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Goodrich helped lead UCLA to its first two NCAA championships (1964, 1965). Notes on Gail Goodrich A three-year letterman (1963-65) under John Wooden, Goodrich was the leading scorer on UCLA’s first two NCAA Championship teams (1964, 1965) … as a senior co-captain (with Keith Erickson) and All-America selection in 1965, he averaged a team-leading 24.8 points … in the 1965 NCAA championship, his then-title game record 42 points led No. 2 UCLA to an 87-66 victory over No. 1 Michigan … as a junior, with backcourt teammate and senior Walt Hazzard, Goodrich was the leading scorer (21.5 ppg) on a team that recorded the school’s first perfect 30-0 record and first-ever NCAA title … a two-time NCAA Final Four All-Tournament team selection (1964, 1965) … finished his career as UCLA’s all-time leader scorer (1,690 points, now No.

    727- ,11- . 70012 3 CRAFTER XXXVII The' Role of Radiology in the Development of the Atomic Bomb Stafford L. Warren, M.D. THE BACKGROUND OF THE ATOMIC BOMB This chapter of the history of radiology in World War II tells t story, in necessarily brief form, of the role of radiology in the developm it of the atomic bomb that was first detonated at Alamogordo, N. 3Iex., on 6 July 1945, dropped for military purposes on Hiroshima, Japan, on 6 Au 1945,and at Nagasaki 3 days later. The atomic bomb had been in the making indirectly for at least 15 years and directly for the preceding 3 years. Since it was an entirely new development, a certain amount of background information is necessary to make clear the relation between its military aspects and its medical aspects, which were practically entirely radiologic. Therapy did not enter the picture in the Zone of Interior because there were no radiation casualties. Even when it was militarily over Japan in August 1945, each bomb was still a scientific device, an expel.' 'ental model, and the first of its ldnd. Before these bombs could be drop d, a new agency had to be created, the Manhattan District of the Corps of Engineers. The uranium oxide re- quired for the manufacture of the •nibs came from several sources, about a seventh of it from the network of lines in Colorado that had been actively developed early in the war to supp i, the large demand for vanadium in war industry. The uranium oxide for the Manhattan Project came not from further mining operations but fro refining the large stockpiles of vana- dium tailings at these mines.
