had decreed
from the beginning of the world
who would be elect and who would
be damned.
This kind of belief bred
amongst them a very anxious
spirituality.
At the individual level they
were deeply anxious about their
own spiritual state.
Were they or were they not
amongst the elect?
They tended to indulge in
intense spiritual
self-searching,
rigorous attempts to sanctify
their personal lives in a way
that would give them a sense of
assurance of their own election.
It was also a kind of
theological position which bred
what's been described as a
"piebald mentality."
They saw things in very black
and white terms,
a piebald mentality.
The godly saw themselves as a
beleaguered minority in a world
that was dominated by the
reprobate, the unregenerate.
They tended to describe
themselves as the "little
flock," the "godly
remnant,"
and that in turn seems to have
bred amongst them a kind of
activist mentality.
There was a dutyto demonstrate
their own godliness by standing
up for the honor of God,
by doing His work in the world,
by spreading truth,
by combating sin and error.
A form of activism which in a
sense could give them greater
assurance.
For the most part,
they did that work in relative
obscurity, down in the many
parishes of the kingdom.
Puritans were amongst the most
zealous preachers.
They were often chosen as
'lecturers',
people who would be hired by
local authorities to preach
extra sermons on market days,
for example, or on the weekdays.
In some areas they were
numerous enough by the 1570s to
found regular meetings of
sympathizers which were known as
"prophesyings."
These were meetings of the
local clergy who would get
together to hear a sermon,
to debate its doctrine.
They often opened these
meetings to members of the
laity.
It was thought to be an
excellent method of improving
clerical knowledge,
of passing on theological
knowledge to | {

was cleansed
by everybody who was suspicious.
Western Berlin
was already ringed
by a border fortification.
The only open spot
was the city itself.
So people were going with
public transportation
into East Berlin, crossing
the border by foot,
and then being flown
out of West Berlin
to get to welcome camps
in the Western part,
until they got apartments
and jobs offered.
In the end, in one month
30,000 people alone
left East Germany
via East Berlin.
So they decided to build a wall.
And this-- you see the
English in bold down there,
is one of the famous quotes.
It's as famous as "there are
no Americans in Baghdad,"
or "I did not have
sex with that woman."
This is a quote everybody
in Germany knows, which
is two weeks-- no, actually
two months before the Wall was
built-- the head of state
and party in East Germany,
being asked whether they
have any plans, and he, as
innocent as a lamb
said, ofcourse,
we don't have a plan
to build a wall.
We have so much
other things to do.
Yeah.
True.
So German proficiency at
its best, and at it's worst,
obviously.
In an operation on
a Sunday morning,
over 50,000 armed
forces were roused.
And Russian tanks were
surrounding Western Berlin.
And at midnight, all the
forces were deployed.
At 1 a.m.
Sunday morning, when
Berlin was sleeping,
the entire subway and transit
between the two cities
were cut.
The light was cut.
And then the Wall was built.
And five minutes, the
Brandenburg Gate was closed.
The first Wall that
stood in Berlin
was a wall of armored
soldiers, that
didn't let anybody
going through.
As the next step, 12 subway
lines were permanently severed.
13 stations were bricked off.
And in total, 193
streets were closed,
including bridges, rivers.
They closed sewers.
They closed windows
in buildings.
We will see that in a moment.
And when Berlin was waking
up, it was two cities.
We see two pictures here.

a permanent place
in aviation history for
its remarkable record
of achievement.
Whether the material to
be delivered happened
to be bombs, depth
charges, gasoline, freight,
troops, of VIPs, the liberator
established a reputation
second to none for doing
almost any job any way.
In some respects, the combat
career of the Douglas A20
was much less spectacular
than that of other bombers
employed by the combatants.
It was associated with
no outstanding operations
that remained in front line
service throughout the war.
It did not distinguish
itself on any particular
battlefront but flew with
equal distinction over
all of them.
It did as well in Russia
as it did in the Pacific
or the western desert and
with all was one of the most
pleasant of all combat aircraft to fly.
(dramatic drum music)
Designated by the Americans as the Havoc
and by the British as
the Boston, the A20 was
a pilot's airplane and
its virtues were sworn
in a variety of languages
rangingfrom Africans
to French and from British
to Ukrainian as well as
being operated by the
Americans and Australians.
His cosmopolitan nature was
fundamental in its design
however for it owed its
origins much to the Spanish
Civil War and subsequently
to the urgent need
for re armament by the French.
The dangerous signals of
1936 had not been ignored
in the United States
and prominent aircraft
manufacturers were considering the future
possible requirements for
the United States Army Core,
well in advance of any
military specifications
being issued.
Well suited to the low level bomber role,
the Bostons, or Havocs
were adaptable, reliable,
tractable, and extremely potent.
Possibly overshadowed
throughout much of its career
by the more spectacular
exploits which fell
to the lot of other bombers.
The A20 did rank highly
amongst the most brilliant
combat aircraft designs
evolved by the United States
aircraft industry.
No combat aircraft of the second World War
either from the access or allied powers

Prof: So today we turn
to a mode of doing literary
criticism which was
extraordinarily widespread
beginning in the late seventies
and into the eighties,
called the New Historicism.
It was definable in ways that
I'll turn to in a minute and,
as I say, prevalent to a
remarkable degree everywhere.
It began probably at the
University of California at
Berkeley under the auspices,
in part, of Stephen Greenblatt,
whose brief essay you've read
for today.
Greenblatt and others founded a
journal,
still one of the most important
and influential journals in the
field of literary study,
called
Representations--always
has been and still is an organ
for New Historicist thought.
It's a movement which began
primarily preoccupied with the
Early Modern period,
the so-called
"Renaissance."
The New Historicism is,
in effect, responsible for the
replacement of the term
"Renaissance"
with the term "Early
Modern."
Its influence,
however, quickly did extend to
other fields,
some fields perhaps more than
others.
It would be,
I think, probably worth a
lecturethat I'm not going to
give to explain why certain
fields somehow or another seem
to lend themselves more readily
to New Historicist approaches
than others.
I think it's fair to say that
in addition to the early modern
period,
the three fields that have been
most influenced by the New
Historicism are the eighteenth
century,
British Romanticism,
and Americanist studies from
the late colonial through the
republican period.
That age--the emergence of
print culture,
the emergence of the public
sphere as a medium of influence,
and the distribution of
knowledge in the United States--
has been very fruitfully
studied from New Historicist
points of view.
So those are the fields that
are most directly influenced by
this approach.
When we discuss Jerome McGann's
essay, you'll see how it
influences Romantic studies.
Now the New Historicism
was--and this probably accounts
for its remarkable popularity
and influence in the period
roughly from the late seventies
through the early nineties--
was a response to | {

} | 8,905,462 |
their control
is their response to
that circumstance,
is their attitude.
And Dr. Frankel has come up
with a mathematical equation
that explains the
power of perspective.
Because in the
concentration camps
he saw a lot of
suffering, suffering
that was so bad that some
people sought to commit suicide
because they despaired.
And Dr. Frankel said,
early on in his time
at the concentration
camps he decided
he would never kill himself.
Moreover, would he
not commit suicide,
but he was going to try to
dissuade his fellow prisoners
from doing that.
And he discovered the way to try
to convince them not to despair
was to help them find meaning.
And so his mathematical
equation was this.
D equals S, minus M. Despair
is suffering without meaning.
He recognized, in the present
circumstances removing
the suffering was
near impossible,
but he could decrease
despair to the extent
that he increased meaning.
And Dr. Frankel, years after
coming out of the concentration
camps, cites an example where
this equation,in a sense,
was brought to life
with a young teenager he
learned about in Texas who
had become a quadriplegic.
A lot of times when
people are asked,
imagine if you were
suddenly paralyzed,
would you want to keep living?
And when we're not in that
state we think, no, I wouldn't.
Well, Dr. Frankel cites
an example of someone
who found herself
not being asked
that question in a hypothetical,
but that was reality.
She became quadriplegic.
She would spend her
days watching the news,
reading the news,
and whenever she
came across a story
of someone who
was going through a very
difficult time, of someone who
was suffering in
some way, she would
ask an assistant
to bring a stick
and place it in her mouth.
She would then use
that stick, bend over
to press keys on a keyboard
so she could write letters
of encouragement to the people
she'd read about in the news.
And Dr. Frankel said her life

sincere fear.
In that same statement to
Congress, he goes on to do
brilliant thing number
two--again another example of
his good judgment.
He announces that he will serve
without pay as proof that he
does not want to make any kind
of profit from his service,
that he wants no financial
benefit for what he's doing for
his country.
Again, really brilliant thing
to do.
Now of course he also says he's
going to keep an exact account
of his expenses.
Right?
He doesn't want to get a
salary, but he will charge
Congress for his expenses--
and there is an amusing book
titled George Washington's
Expense Account by Marvin
Kitman that looks at what
Washington was actually charging
the Congress for.
So it's not as though he was
spending a lot out of pocket.
He did keep a careful account
of all of his expenses as
Commander-in-Chief,
but again that's a pretty
significant statementto make.
People noticed it at the time
and commented on it and saw it,
the symbolism in it and the
meaning of it,
and commented just in the way
that he would have hoped people
would have done.
He really wanted to make a
certain impact,
and he did.
So for example,
here is John Adams at the
time--not afterwards with his
ten talents, but at the time.
He says,
"There is something
charming to me in the conduct of
Washington.
A gentleman of one of the first
fortunes upon the continent,
leaving his delicious
retirement, his family and
friends,
sacrificing his ease,
and hazarding all in the cause
of his country!
His views are noble and
disinterested.
He declared,
when he accepted the mighty
trust,
that he would lay before us an
exact account of his expenses,
and not accept a shilling for
pay."
Or, as another Congressman put
it, "Let our Youth look up
to this man as a | {

I was there when
the uprising took place
so I had connections both
in and outside of Syria.
Some reports basically
confirmed Kerry's allegations
using eyewitness
accounts, relying
on the circulation of
information and images
on social media
sites, and producing
a plethora of articles
translated from Arabic
to English and vise versa.
But as early as a week
later, a counter-narrative
began to emerge, one that
placed ultimate accountability
with the opposition.
Although these early
dissenting reports
appeared to lack the
authority or credibility,
they nevertheless
became increasingly
susceptible to uptake.
Less a way of anchoring
an alternative certainty
than questioning the empirical
propositions on which existing
frames of reference relied.
In chat rooms and
online publications
rumors began circulating about
the Saudi intelligence chief
having supplied the weapons to
a Saudi militant, allegations
that instantly generated their
own confusions, including
whether a named author
in one prominent report
had been involved in
writing the piece at all.
The story of the attack
took a technical turn
with a publication
by the New YorkTimes
of an article that drew upon
a study by Richard M. Lloyd,
an expert in warhead design, and
Theodore A. Postol, a professor
of physics at MIT.
The study promised a
scientific resolution
of the accountability
question by addressing
a previously un-noted problem at
the heart of the investigation.
How could what were
initially thought
to be rockets with
minimal carrying capacity
deliver enough gas to
kill so many people
over such a large area?
Lloyd and Postol subsequently
published a second report
casting doubt on UN
and US calculations
of rocket trajectories,
further generating
skepticism about the Syrian
regime's responsibility
for the attack.
Memorable among the
participants in what
became a high-stakes bout
of discursive jostling
with Western intervention and
presumably regime survival
hanging in the balance
with Syrian presidential
spokesperson Buthaina Shaaban.
In a statement given
as early as September,
Shaaban held the opposition
responsible for the attack.
And I quote, "they
kidnapped children and men
from the villages of
[? Latakia," ?] she reported,

forget it when we
talk about Washington--
like any other gentleman of the
period Washington was human.
Right?
He could be self-interested.
He could be gloomy.
He could get excited.
He was all of these things at
various points during the war
and after.
He sometimes doubted himself.
He got bored.
He got tired of all the pomp
and ceremony that basically
surrounded him for the last
twenty-five years of his life.
There's a story of him as
President;
he really didn't like all the
pomp surrounding him as
President, and there are several
stories actually,
more than one.
He was seen giving a ceremonial
dinner as President,
sitting at the head of the
table at this formal dinner,
staring into space and sort of
banging a piece of silverware on
the table,
[whistles]--so not wanting to
be there and so uninterested in
what was going on.
Again, he's all of these
things, including humanas other
gentlemen all were.
But there is something about
Washington that was different
and in a sense,
there had to be something
different to put him in the
exalted position of being quite
literally,
as one of his friends said at
his death,
"first in war,
first in peace,
and first in the hearts of his
countrymen."
So how can we explain the
phenomenon of George Washington?
And what I'm going to talk
about here in the answer
basically is an answer with
three parts.
The first part,
as we're about to see,
has to do with Washington
personally.
He's a man who was extremely
skilled at shaping his public
image, at controlling himself
and presenting to the world what
he wanted them to see.
Related to that,
so part of that same thing,
he was very skilled at sizing
up a situation and figuring out
just what sort of statement or
action it required.

“My Friends, We Were Robbed!”
Introduction:
“My Friends, We Were
Robbed!” is the title of
a book by Rabbi Uri
Zohar which describes
his journey of return to
our spiritual heritage.
In this letter, we will
discuss the meaning of
the title of his book,
and our discussion will
begin with some
information about his
life before he became a
rabbi:
Dear Friends,
Rabbi Uri Zohar is an
Ashkenazic Jew who was
born in Tel Aviv in
1934, and he was
educated in secular
Zionist schools. The
State of Israel was
established in 1948. In
1952, he graduated high
school, and within a few
years, he became a
popular stand-up
comedian. In 1960, he
studied philosophy at
the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, and this
interest in philosophy
would later lead to
spiritual changes in his
life. During the 60’s,
he directed and starred
in Israeli films;
moreover, he became a
popular television and
radio talk-show host.
During the 70’s, he
reached the height of
his entertainment
career, as he was
considered by many tobe
the top comedian,
television and radio
talk-show host, social
satirist, actor, and
film-producer on the
Israeli scene. His
performances were valued
not merely for the
entertainment they
provided, but also
because they provided
astute and sharp-tongued
observations about
Israeli society.
It was during the late
1970’s that he began to
search for his spiritual
roots. This process
began after his
encounter with a wise
Torah teacher in
Jerusalem who challenged
some of Uri’s secular
prejudices towards
Judaism. Uri therefore
began an attempt to
investigate the veracity
of Judaism’s claim that
the Torah is of Divine
origin. His serious and
long investigation led
him to accept the Torah
as Divine truth, and on
a step-by-step basis, he
began to keep the
mitzvos of the Torah.
The commitment of this
famous Israeli
personality to the
spiritual path of his
people shocked many
secular-oriented Israeli
Jews. The first shock
was when they noticed
that he began to wear a
yarmulke on the
television show he was
hosting. They were even
more shocked when he
gave up fame and fortune

the
individual things so much
as the sheer
abundance of things,
which reflected the spread of
mass manufacturing and growing
postwar American
consumer culture.
Warhol started out
using rubber stamps
and stencils to make
these paintings.
But soon landed
on silk screening
as a way to speed things up.
He created his
well-known factory
and set to work with
assistants, rolling out product
after product, displaying them
in warehouse-like arrangements.
He was also interested in
products of the human variety
and started making
paintings of celebrities,
reproducing images from
publicity stills, newspapers,
and magazines, making shrew
commentary on the celebrity
as commodity.
There are number of subjects
that recur Warhol's work,
shoes, products, money,
celebrities, rich people,
disaster, death, himself; shoes,
products, money, celebrities,
rich people, disaster,
death, himself.
But these weren't just
Warhol's obsessions.
They are deeply reflective
of the culture of the time.
If you ascribed to the theory
that the 20th century was
the American century,
then Warhol's work
takes on even more importance.
Spanish:

desastres, muerte, él mismo; zapatos, productos, dinero, celebridades,
gente adinerada, desastres, muerte, él mismo.
Pero éstas no eran sólo las obsesiones de Warhol.
Eran una profunda reflexión sobre la cultura de la época.
Si aceptamos la teoría de que el siglo XX fue
el siglo de América, entonces la obra de Warhol
toma aún más importancia.

His work charts the
development of our obsession

Warhol was an extremely
astute businessperson,
who formed his first
corporate entity, Andy Warhol

And he never really
stopped working for hire.
He made thousands of
commissioned portraits,
the first of which was this one
of art collector Ethel Scull,
based on photos taken
by a machine or rather
a photo booth.
By the 1970s,
commissioned portraits
were a solid chunk

The new Imperial College Union
website (www.imperialcollegeunion.org) has proven to be a great
success over the last month, taking
almost £38,000 in club membership
and event ticket sales. The site has
also won praise within the more
technically inclined members of
the student body for conforming to
modern web standards.
The website cost £40,000 in total
to build, and went live at the start
of this term after extensive testing over the summer vacation. The
Union bought extra capacity for the
site, in order to cope with the rush
that was expected after Freshers’
Fair with students joining andrejoining clubs and societies. So far,
the site has coped admirably with
the almost 27,000 page impressions
per day.
Though the vast majority of payments for club membership went
through without problems, around

a refectory,
where professional staff
and visiting members
could eat and talk together
in a communal way.
Now, the idea for a research
center at the National Gallery
goes much further back
to the early 1950s, when Paul
Mellon--
you see here on the left--
had conversations with director
David Finley--
in his office on the right--
and Chief Curator John Walker
about setting up a place
for scholars
to work in a great library
like that in ancient Alexandria.
In this immediate post-war
period, there was a very strong
sense that the cultural ties
between Europe and the United
States needed to be rebuilt,
and that the National Gallery
should play a leading role here.
And John Walker, you see here
in a photograph with Berenson
and Frederick Hartt--
Walker was especially
interested in what Berenson was
attempting to do at I Tatti,
where he had spent some time.
And in 1956, Berenson even wrote
that he wanted Walker to direct
ITatti for Harvard.
The first concrete result of all
this general thinking
was the establishment
of the A.W. Mellon Lectures
in the Fine Arts,
inaugurated in 1949,
with funding again provided
by Paul Mellon
and his sister Ailsa.
The series was founded,
and I quote, "to bring
to the people of the United
States
the results of the best
contemporary thought
and scholarship bearing
upon the subject
of the fine arts," end quote.
With typical broadmindedness,
the trustees, inspired by Paul
Mellon's vision,
determined
that the distinguished speakers
might come from any discipline,
"provided such subjects have
a relationship to or bearing
on the Fine Arts"
or "their understanding,
appreciation, and promotion."
Paul Mellon and his first wife,
Mary, had been close to Carl
Jung before the war,
visiting him at Bollingen
in Switzerland.
And here you see Jung
with his wife
and below that, the house,
Bollingen, which gave its name
to so many
of the productions
of the Center.
Jung's teaching strongly
influenced the mandate
for the lectures

saying, I major in IR,
international relations,
they said, I major in NR,
nationalist relations?
You can imagine the
pushback you would get.
What I'm getting at is
"nationalism" is not
a good word, at least
until the last two years.
That's kind of peculiar
because the word
comes from the Latin "natio."
And it was considered,
even in antiquity,
a progressive idea that, unlike
the Greek city-state where
people of the same language,
roughly the same traditions,
the same ethnic background
were politically fragmented,
in Italy they came up with a
new concept of unification.
And they thought
that that would be
a more equitable and successful
way of solving rivalries
between different people.
So what happened to the concept?
Woodrow Wilson, remember,
went to Versailles
in January of 1919
promising that people
who spoke the same language and
had the same ethnic background
and mostly the
same religion would
get to have their
own national destiny.
They would not be subject
to imperial rule by others.
Sowhat happened?
I think very
briefly, the answer's
Germany, until the
French Revolution sort of
gave a catalyst to the
modern idea of nationalism,
the Congress of Vienna.
But the unification of Germany,
creating the largest country
in Europe warped the
idea of nationalism
because it was a little
bit different than
the other European countries.
And by that, I mean it was
involved in three wars--
the Franco-Prussian
War of 1871; it
invaded through Denmark,
Belgium, and France in 1914;
and, of course, it went into
Poland in 1939 on September 1
and triggered World War II.
But it wasn't just people felt
that Germany was aggressive,
but people felt that they
had redefined nationalism.
By that, I mean even
before national socialism
of the 1930s, there was
a movement in Germany
that said that Germans are
going to be defined by "blut und
boden"--
blood and soil.
And what that meant was,
you could live in Germany,

of Germany,
you could speak German, | {

shape of a once
glamorous American billionaire financier
named Jeffrey Epstein — a man
now waiting to stand trial in Florida
after being accused of paying
underage girls for tawdry sexual
encounters.
Epstein, it seems, took Ghislaine
under his wing when she arrived in New York a broken and lonely
woman and helped her not
only back on to her feet but also
to become one of the most
sought-after members of the city’s
social elite.
Ghislaine, 46, first met Epstein,
54, in New York in 1991, the year of
her father’s death and a time when
she was said to be desperately
lonely.
She was instantly attracted
to him — a man as flamboyant,
dominant and rich as the father she
had just lost.
In no time, she was appearing at
Epstein’s side as the "celebrity"
guest at the opening of a glamorous
Manhattan restaurant. She was
also a regular guest at his Upper
EastSide apartment.
Very soon, a
friend reported that "her
dependence [on Epstein] is pretty total".
At one time, there were even
rumours they would marry.
Epstein provided for Ghislaine a
life of glamorous parties, exotic
vacations and well-connected
friends.
He showered her with gifts:
£300 bottles of champagne, grand
holidays and offered her the use of
his mansions and seven cars.
Together, they lived life to excess.
But most important, Epstein
helped Ghislaine forget her past.
Through him, she began to build a
respectability in New York that would have been impossible in
London, where Maxwell’s crimes were
less easily forgotten.
Epstein was not, however, altogether
straightforward. He may have been a
firm fixture on the social scene but he
had, to say the least, an opaque
professional history — a little like Robert
Maxwell.
He is rumoured to have worked either
for the Israeli intelligence service,
Mossad, the CIA or even both.
On one

by
all United States light
and medium bombers.
Although it has been
established that the very high
claims of enemy aircraft
kiddle scored by the fortress
were greatly exaggerated,
there can be no doubt
that the total was formidable.
By its almost unrivaled
period of first line service,
the fortress proved itself
one of the classic bomber
designs of all time.
Its performance proved
a triumphant vindication
of the principles of air
strategy and bomber design
established by a few far
sighted airmen and engineers
in the United States
of America, long before
World War II.
While the Boeing Super
Fortress gained for itself
undying fame as the first aircraft to drop
an atomic weapon, thus bringing about
the sudden termination of
hostilities in the Pacific.
It is also deserving of
a place in the history
of aircraft warfare as one
of the principal allied
weapons in the war against Japan.
The laborious and costly
island hopping campaign
conducted in the Pacific
by the allied forces
wasundertaken largely to seize bases
for super fortress operations against
the Japanese homeland.
Once bases had been established,
the super fortresses
of the United States 20th Air Force
systematically and inextricably
raised the industrial
cities of Japan one by one
with a terrible weapon of fire.
The closely packed and
lightly constructed Japanese
buildings were extremely
vulnerable to incendiary attacks.
Now the destruction
wreaked by super forces
in some built up areas
amounted to as much as 99.5%.
In addition to these
devastating blows against
strategic targets, the
super fortresses were
simultaneously employed on
a highly successful campaign
of mine laying in Japanese
home waters, thereby applying
an economic and logistic strangle hold to
the islands of Nipon.
The delivery of the two atomic bombs
against Hiroshima and
Nagasaki was therefore
in the nature of a cous
de gras although essential
to shorten the war.

its
purposes had been to hold some
prominent Jews for exchange with
interned Germans.
It
was only as the flood of inmates from
camps in Poland poured into Belsen in
the last months of the war that it took
on its familiar, hellish
character.
But,
for the British public, it was
inconceivable that there could have
been other camps that were even worse,
so people thought Belsen was as bad as
it got. This obscured awareness of the
existence of purpose-built
extermination camps in Poland, and the
policy they were designed to
implement.
Belsen
inmates (PHOTOS:
AR-Online/Belsen
museum)
Nor
was Belsen linked at the time with the
specifically Jewish tragedy, despite
the fact that Jews were the majority of
the inmates at the liberation. Again,
this obscured the reality of Hitler's
genocidal war against the
Jews.
After
the war, Belsen became a camp for
displaced persons. Reilly describes the
struggle between the surviving Jews in
the camp to establish their rights as
Jews, rather thanas nationals of the
countries from which they had been
deported.
This
brought them into conflict with the
British government, which wanted to
repatriate nationals to their home
countries. Clearly this made no sense
for Jews whose communities no longer
existed.
The
British government was loath to concede
that Jews were different from other
DPs, reasoning that to do so would be
to follow Nazi ideology. They were also
worried that a strong Jewish presence
would inevitably lead to unwelcome
pressure for a Jewish
homeland.
In
the propaganda battles that followed,
the British were so afraid of the
resonance that the word "Belsen" would
have around the world that they renamed
the camp Hohne. The Jews, with equal
resolution, continued to call it
Belsen.
Reilly's
analysis is scholarly, meticulously
referenced and never less than
even-handed. When discussing the
British government's obstructive
policies, or the less-than-impressive
response of Anglo-Jewry to the plight
of European Jews after the war, she
always explains these "shortcomings" in

The result is that there will be several members of the new Democratic majority running for re-election in traditionally Republican areas that Trump won by double digits in 2016.

the
Elizabeth settlement,
at last there had been a lead
from the papacy,
but in a sense it was also a
disaster for the average
traditionalist in religion.
Now they were in a position
where they had to choose.
They had to make a stand,
like it or not.
Geopolitical realities
increasingly demanded it,
and for many of them that was
an absolutely agonizing
situation.
And in the years that followed,
in many ways,
it got worse.
From the mid 1570s missionary
priests trained in the
Netherlands began arriving to
stiffen the faith of the
Catholic faithful.
There were something like sixty
who arrived in the course of the
later 1570s.
Between then and the end of the
reign in 1603,
something like 500 Catholic
priests were smuggled into
England to operate in secret.
From the 1580s,
they were joined by another
group,
the Jesuits,
the shock troops of the
Catholic Counter Reformation in
Europe who joined in the mission
to England.
Nowof course from their
perspective these were heroic
people,
and yet they were fatally
compromised by their association
with a foreign power,
Spain, and they were inevitably
associated with the dynamics of
religious conflict in Europe--
not least because some of the
leaders of the Catholic mission
subscribed to the view that it
was no sin to depose or even
murder a heretical monarch.
And so began a series of plots
which were uncovered throughout
the middle and later years of
Elizabeth's reign.
In 1571, the Ridolfi plot to
depose Elizabeth,
place Mary, Queen of Scots on
the throne, marry her to the
Duke of Norfolk.
That ended in 1572 with the
execution of Norfolk.
In 1572, the news came from
France of the Saint
Bartholomew's Day Massacre of
Protestants in Paris.
This seemed a demonstration
from abroad of the risk of
Catholic treachery.
In 1583, the Throckmorton plot
to murder Elizabeth was
uncovered.

word "patriarch"
in the book-- and
blessed patriarch,
because it sounded
quite religious.
And people weren't
certain whether or not
potential readers
would not think
that this was about
a religious figure,
even though it's Thomas
Jefferson, obviously, and not
a religious figure.
I was a bit concerned about--
I like the phrase "most
blessed of the patriarchs"--
I was concerned that people
would think that Peter and I,
my co-author, Peter Onuf,
who was the Thomas Jefferson
Professor at the
University of Virginia,
that we were calling
him the "most blessed
of the patriarchs."
And we insisted that the
phrase be in quotations,
because that is a quote
from Jefferson himself.
That's a phrase that he
used to describe himself.
And I'll give you the context.
He was writing a letter to a
woman named Angelica Schuyler
Church, who many people who've
listened to the Hamilton cast
album, or who
actually saw the play,
will recognize as
Angelica Schuyler,
one of the Schuyler sisters.
And she was someone
who Jefferson
metwhen he was in Paris.
She was the sister-in-law
of Alexander Hamilton.
So in the small world, the
way that these things go,
Jefferson and Hamilton were
in Washington's cabinet
after Jefferson
returned from Paris.
They started out OK,
and then ended up
as enemies, bitter
political rivals.
And their rivalry is something
that has sparked controversy
on both sides.
People who were partisans
of Hamilton, people
who were partisans
of Jefferson, they've
come to, in sort of
a caricature way,
represent two understandings
about the future of America--
an agricultural
nation, or a nation
of manufacturing, industrialists
and manufacturing.
Hamilton wasn't against farmers.
And Jefferson really was
not against manufacturing.
He just thought that that
was something that was
going to come at a later stage.
But that's the battle lines
that people draw when they're
thinking about the two of them.
So Jefferson and Hamilton
are in the cabinet.
They are fighting.
And they're fighting
for Washington's favor.
And in the end, Hamilton wins.
And Jefferson decides

is that of Norman
Jones.
In his view Elizabeth and her
chief adviser,
William Cecil,
intended initially to return to
the situation of 1552 just
before the death of her brother,
Edward VI.
But they met severe opposition
in Parliament particularly in
the House of Lords,
opposition not only from the
Catholic bishops who sat in the
Lords but also from some of the
leading lay members of the
peerage,
and so they had to return to
Parliament with a distinctly
watered-down draft prayer book
setting out their desires for
religious settlement.
So, for example,
in 1559 in the prayer book they
brought to Parliament the
communion service was in fact a
blend of the prayer book of 1552
with its very Protestant
statements regarding the
communion service being
essentially a service of
remembrance and thanksgiving.
They blended that with the
earlier 1549 prayer book which
had allowed for the possibility
that there was a real presence
of Christ's body and bloodin
the communion service.
And so in 1559 the wording at
the administration of the
communion was as follows:
the bread..."the body of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
which was given for thee
preserve thy body and soul unto
everlasting life."
That's 1549,
followed immediately by
"take and eat this in
remembrance that Christ died for
thee and feed on him in thy
heart by faith with
thanksgiving";
that's 1552.
They blended the two together
so that you could read it as you
chose.
It's been described by Diarmaid
MacCulloch as "a
masterpiece of theological
engineering,"
or fudging the issue you could
say.
Again in 1559 the bill brought
before Parliament put forward
the title for Elizabeth not as
supreme head of the Church of
England but only of Supreme
Governor.
That's often seen as being a
more appropriate title for a
woman,
governor rather than head,
but it also of course left open
the possibility that the

Elon Musk made another
impression on the market
following the unveiling of
the Tesla Semi and Roadster.
The output of the semi-truck
was supposed to begin in 2019,
but this was delayed.
It boasts a 500 miles
range and batteries
and motors designed to
last up to 1 million miles.
The Tesla Semi is an electrical,
battery-powered semi-truck class 8
being developed by Tesla Inc.
The company unveiled
two vehicles in 2021,
with production scheduled
for the same year.
The semi-truck is expected to be

unlike most CEOs who
meticulously choose their words
to avoid making
controversial statements.
Frequently he is not cautious
and often speaks his mind,
never minding the consequences
he deals with later.
Elon has successfully
courted devotion
and controversy from
his public statements.
The way Elon conducts
himself in the future
will determine the effectiveness
of his leadership role
in steering his company to
rise above his competitors.
Elon's bluntness has won him many
fans and endeared him to customers
who find him more approachable
than other famous executives.
But on the other hand,
some analysts and investors
are also frustrated with this
as they perceive him to be
temperamental and reckless.
Here are 11 inspirational
quotes from Elon Musk:
To some,
Elon Musk is seen as an

sipping vintage
Dom Perignon champagne from cut
crystal glasses before toasting their hostess
— the woman whose immaculate society
credentials had drawn them all together.
As the glasses of such an elite set were
being raised in her honour, she must
surely have felt as if she had finally made
it in New York.
After the toast, she
took the guests into the townhouse’s
imposing library. There, they were
confronted with yet more evidence of
how seriously their hostess took the
social pecking order.
She had stuck fake spines on the books,
with titles referring to her best friends.
According to an eyewitness, this led to
something of a scramble among the
guests as they struggled to see if they had
made it as one of her book titles:
"There
was ferocious competition between
guests as they compared how far up the
friendship pecking order they were."

None other than Ghislaine
Maxwell, the youngest daughter of the late newspaper tycoon and
fraudster, Robert Maxwell.
It was in 1991 that Maxwell
plunged from the deck of his
£15million luxury yacht — a 180ft
vessel named Lady Ghislaine after
his daughter — and soon
afterwards it was discovered he had
stolen £440 million from the Mirror
Group pension fund.
Ghislaine’s reputation, like that of
the rest of her family, was in tatters.
As it became clear that Maxwell’s
employees had lost their pensions
because he had raided them, any
member of the Maxwell family seen
living the high life provoked
contempt and fury.

CTOR Salman Khan jumped to the defence of his

this Salman said: “Shah Rukh is in the industry because
of his hard work and support of his fans... not because
Imam cast him in an advertisement.” How the Khan vs

his placement here
at the Peabody Museum
has really enabled him to extend
this investigation to North
American museums,
and particularly
through the
fortunate partnership
between the universities both
at Harvard and at Adelaide
in South Australia
during the 1930s, which
has resulted in a collection
that, as you heard,
he'll talk about today.
And while he studies these
intriguing historical figures,
Philip is a fascinating
man in his own right.
I recently found out
that in his spare time,
Philip retreats to a cottage
in the bush in Adelaide
in Australia and
distills eucalyptus oil.
I personally have watched him
studying a singular object
for hours and days.
Well, I haven't watched him for
hours or days, but I go back
and he's still studying
the same object.
And he's carefully sketching
every single detail,
and the results are truly
kind of amazing works
of art in their own right.
And I've no doubt that
they will one day also
be present in a museum
collection orlittle
beyond reinforcing
a rather easily formed,
rather simplistic conclusion
that ethnographic collecting has
been integral to colonialism,
and must, therefore, be
subject to the same critique.
Now, this seems
reasonable on the surface,
until we begin to
recognize and differentiate
between the different
forms of collecting
and the actual biographies
of objects in collections
and begin to understand
that these differ widely.
Couple of years ago, I
attended a conference
in Berlin, which was
examining the detailed history
of collecting events occurring
during the sacking of Benin
City in West Africa during 1897,
The sacking of Beijing Summer
Palace during the Opium Wars,
the Namibian massacres of 1904,
and other instances of
violent colonial acquisitions
of treasured heritage.
These collecting
events, you might say,
were little more than looting.
Spectacular examples,
undoubtedly,
but looting or theft can occur
on any scale on any frontier.
And that certainly
happened in Australia.

was the day Richard
Ramirez was caught, beaten,
and handed over to the LAPD by
a group of neighborhood locals
who spotted the serial
killer wandering
the streets of East LA.
Flash forward to
September 20th, 1989,
when the night
stalker was convicted
of all charges, 13
counts of murder,
5 attempted murders, 11 sexual
assaults, and 14 burglaries.
Moments after being sentenced
to death by gas chamber,
Ramirez said, big deal.
Death always went

expeditions, the RMS Titanic

recovered thousands
of items, which have
been conserved and put
on public display.
Of course, the
Titanic's popularity
didn't peak until
we fast forward
to November 1997, when James

To Silicon Valley, where
Steve Jobs resigned from Apple
on September 16th
after losing a battle
for control of the company
then CEO John Sculley.
The corker is that Jobs poached
Sculley from Pepsi, because
of his marketing genius.
The pair ran Apple as co-CEOs.
But when Jobs wanted more
say in which direction
the company would
go, Apple's board
told Jobs he was too volatile
to hold a leadership role.
On the same day, Jobs
submitted paperwork
to the California
Secretary of State
for the name of his new
company, Next Computer.
Fast forward to 1997, when Apple
would buy Next for $429 million
and give Jobs an advisory

parallels
and also contrasts
with what's going on
in the Indian situation.
As Hannah Arendt acknowledges
in her rich essay,
"Truth and Politics," quote,
"the politically most-relevant
truths are factual," unquote.
And they are, as political
theorist Lind Zerilli
underscores, also the most
imperiled, the most vulnerable
to human mendacity
and to the pursuit
of narrow political interests.
Politics is a domain of
pleural contingent opinions,
argues Arendt, where the
understanding of freedom
is rooted in an appreciation of
the human capacity for speech
and other kinds of action.
Wittgenstein shows
us how such a world
is made up of reference frames
that are subject to collapse.
Some Syrian filmmakers
share this appreciation,
showing us the depth
of politics that
occurs when a common
world in formation
has been crushed by
dissimulation and violence.
So I want to show you one
clip of the anonymous film
collective, Abounaddara,
whose work over the course
of the uprising suggests that
when journalistic conventions
are challenged something
creative and out
of the ordinary might
happenin their stead.
For the most part the
collective's short films
hint at prospects that
are left vaguely defined,
gesturing towards
experience of self-assertion
as well as of self-dissolution
and unpredictability.
They offer accounts of
events or situations
in which there may be room
for reclaiming judgment
as a political activity.
So this clip that
I'm going to show you
is number three of a
four-part series that
chronicles the evolution
of a soldier fighting
for the opposition.
His decomposition in
the face of war time's
gruesome intensities and
his attempts in part four
to recalibrate his
relation to the world.
So part one establishes the
soldier's first realization
that he could kill.
He was scared but he
felt he had no choice.
That refrain, that
he had no choice,
provides the central
animating theme
of the first
segment, a testimony
to judgment-suspension
or at least compromise,
to the simultaneous recognition
and evasion of responsibility,
to an emotional catastrophe that
leaves the social fabric torn.
He had to protect his family.

the
floor to open up so he could
just go through,
like "poof,"
I'm gone,
[laughter]
and he supposedly went back to
Hamilton and said,
"Yeah, I won the bet,
not worth it" [laughter]--
really not worth it.
He is just this imposing figure.
During the war,
on many occasions he actually
really had to be an imposing
figure not just for reasons of
concrete military success,
which--it's true he did,
for that reason--
but also because he
individually personified the
Revolutionary cause in many
ways,
including to the British,
not just to his own men but to
the British as well,
to British military authorities.
He had to be imposing enough to
command respect from people who
were not necessarily prepared to
see him as the commanding
general of a real army.
And as an example of this,
one of the sort of war games
that the British occasionally
deployed against Washington was
to address things to him in
writingarmy,
but also to command the respect
of the enemy.
So clearly he's an imposing
figure and he had to be,
but there's an important point
to make here,
and that is,
Washington combined that
imposing demeanor with something
that was equally if not more
important for him to display as
a leader in the new nation,
and as particularly a military
leader in the new nation,
and that is that he had a
modest demeanor.
He was imposing,
but he did not look like
someone who was grasping for
power.
He knew how to display himself
to his best advantage,
but he wasn't all pomp and show
and display.
He was the opposite.
He was modest,
he was cool,
he was reserved,
and this was really important
in the new American nation for
some very good reasons which had
to do with distrust of power.

far,

to maneuver.
While Namaqualand's
plants and pollinators
have evolved hand in hand
there is one relationship
that has a much greater effect
on the landscape than any other.
The Gorteria diffusa
is a species of flower,
commonly called
the Beetle daisy.
This particular species
stands out
from other Namaqualand flowers
for one specific reason.
Over time, it has morphed into
15 different versions
of the same orange flower.
But every single version
attracts the same creature.
The Megapalpus fly.
When plants adapt
into different variations,
it's usually in an attempt to
attract various pollinators,
increasing their chance
of being pollinated.
The Gorteria's extraordinary
adaptation is therefore unique
because it's not caused
by an attempt to attract
different pollinators.
Rather, the different versions
get pollinated
by the same species
of fly in different ways.
One particular version
of the flower
mimics the body of a fly
so accurately
that the male often ends up
attempting to mate
with the
raised spot on the petals.
He gets completely
covered in pollen,
and helps to
pollinate other beetlesaline soils
of these quartz fields.
Miniature landscapes,
dotted with miniature plants,
which are all perfectly adapted
to this habitat.
The Bababoudjie,
or in English, "baby's bottom",
is a succulent found only in the
quartz fields of Namaqualand.
It's developed
a remarkable survival strategy,
which allows it
to call this place home.
In order to hide from hungry
herbivores, it disguises itself
as one of the grey-white rocks
that surround it.
And hiding in plain sight
isn't just for plants.
These stony plains host very
specific and unusual creatures.
Which often go unnoticed.
Camouflaged perfectly in the
white, semi-translucent fields,
the stone grasshopper
is a master of disguise.
Everything about his body
keeps him concealed
in the quartz fields.
Parts of him
even look slightly chipped,
mimicking the flawed shapes
of the stones.
The tiny hairs on his legs
smooth the contours
of his shadow.
When feeling threatened,
he can flatten his antennae
to enhance
his rock-like appearance.
He is Namaqualand's
ultimate impersonator.

keep the public and
the media from knowing
about the alien presence.
Even Lieutenant
Colonel Jesse Marcel,
Sr. was asked to fly from
Roswell to Fort Worth
to pose for photographs amid
actual weather balloon debris.
But Colonel Marcel
knew that what
he had gathered the day
before from the Brazel ranch
was not a weather balloon.
Five years later, 1952,
President Truman's Majestic 12
special panel produced their
"First Annual Report" that
described, quote, "unidentified
planform space vehicles,"
close quote.
Planform meant a delta
or crescent shape, not
a round disk.
Here are paragraphs six and
seven from MJ-12's 1952 report.
Quote, "Radar film
and tower logs
do not explain the merging
of three radar targets
prior to collision and
subsequent crashes.
There were five recovered
bodies, two of which
were found in a severely
damaged escape cylinder,
and the remaining three bodies
were found some distance away
from the cylinder.
All five appear to have suffered
from sudden decompression
and heat suffocation,"
close quote.
So there were three radar
targetsand three crash sites
that MJ-12 called Landing
Zones One, Two, and Three.
Landing Zone One was near
Corona, New Mexico, about 75
miles northwest of Roswell.
The same month of the
crashes, another US government
agency with the provocative
title "Interplanetary
Phenomenon Unit"
summarized on July 22, 1947
what had been found at
those three crash sites.
Paragraph 12 stated, quote,
"The most disturbing aspect
of this investigation was
there were other bodies found
not far from Landing
Zone One that
looked as if they had been
dissected as you would a frog,"
close quote.
No explanation was given about
whether the dissected bodies
were animal, human, or alien.
And then came this
startling sentence.
Quote, "Animal parts
were reportedly
discovered inside the craft at
Landing Zone Two," close quote.
Landing Zone Two was 20
miles southeast of Socorro,
not far from Oscura Peak,

backed up for several blocks following the
chain-reaction collision, which occurred
around 4:30 p.m. and involved a transit bus.
Police, fire and ambulance crews responded
to the scene, where one driver blew a fail on
a roadside screening device.
According to the police report, the northbound bus was rear-ended by a newer Kia,
which was rear-ended by a Toyota RAV,
which was rear-ended by a GMC Jimmy.
No injuries were reported. The Jimmy was
impounded and one woman arrested in connection with the collision.
Charges are anticipated against a 48-yearold White Rock resident.

managing
the clerical aspect
of the expedition, completing
and filing the data cards
with more than 100
physiological measurements
for each individual, labeling
hair and blood samples,
and probably keeping
the camp running.
But they contributed
far more than that.
They developed a rapport
with women and children
in the field stations,
and certainly played
a crucial role--
played a crucial role in
humanizing the expedition's
work and explaining
it to the people.
The Carnegie
Corporation had just
funded the opening of
a children's museum
at the South Australia Museum,
which opened a few days
before the expedition departed.
But they also, in the
Carnegie Corporation--
I wish they were
still as active.
They also funded the
establishment of a regime
for testing Australian
schoolchildren
for their abilities and
achievements in English,
mathematics, and other subjects
known as the ACER tests, which
is still going today.
The scheme had barely
been implemented
in Australian schools,
but Dorothy and Bea

schools for the tests
to be part of the
expedition's work.

the expedition encountered
a group living apart
from the local mission in
even poorer circumstances--
and I think there has been
an image of that camp--
having to carry water a
long distance from the town.
And Tindale noted that
their children attend school
with white children.
Objections are sometimes
raised, but so far they
have maintained their
right to attend.
When he asked why they
did not opt for an easier
life on a nearby mission,
he was told, and I quote,
"the people have
decided to live away
from the mission, where
there are rations,
but no work, for as
independent people,
they can earn up to
150 pounds annually.
And this gives them meat,
bread, and butter and fruit,
whereas on stations, they only
get soda damper and poor meat."

Mike Kelly, which recreates
the Seven Star Cavern, a
landmark in LA's Chinatown,
which he positioned adjacent to
an inaccessible enclosure that
is part security fence, part
traditional Chinese gate.
They also had a show up of works
by renowned Brazilian artists
Lygia Pape, including two of her
remarkable Tteia installations.
Pape diverged from
the harsh geometries
of Brazil's concrete art
movement in the 1950s,
and evolved her own
approach to abstraction
that is simultaneously
geometric and expressive.
This installation, originally
constructed in 1976,
is made of metallic thread
strung across the room
to create volumes
that transform as you
move throughout the space.
Here with her work, I
was able to appreciate
the softness, the subtlety,
and the delicate beauty that
is possible in abstraction--
how these lines slip in and out
of legibility, as if by magic.
It was transportive,
immersive, and meditative,
and I did not want to leave.
But eventually, we had
to, and we found our way
to the Serpentine Galleries
tosee their outdoor pavilions
during the final
weeks of their run.
The series was conceived
in 2000 as a way
to introduce you to
contemporary architecture
by commissioning some of the
world's greatest architects
who had not yet completed a
permanent building in the UK
to make a temporary structure
on the gallery's lawn,
taking a maximum of six months
from invitation to completion.
This year's pavilion is
designed by Bjarke Ingels Group,
and is a play on one of
the most basic elements
of architecture--
the brick wall.
Ingels' wall, however, has
been unzipped and expanded
into space, forming a cavity
beneath it that houses a cafe
and hosts activities.
The program is a clever
way to address and move
beyond the strictures of a more
traditional exhibition space.
But the Serpentine
has those as well.
We took in their Marc Camille
Chaimowicz exhibition,
which probes the territory
between art and design,
public and private space,

decoration, and | {

is through deliberate climate change.
Many believe that the
New World Order possesses
the technology to alter
the weather in such a way
that they can cause both temporary
and long-term climate
change resulting in famine,
war for resources and flooding.
This allows the NWO to
manipulate world affairs
while profiting from
investing in the rebuilding
of infrastructure after these events.
One theorized way for
them to control climate
is through the technology developed by
the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency,
or DARPA for short.
Conspiracy theorists believe
that the U.S. led DARPA
has the ability to alter
weather and cause earthquakes
using radio waves transmitted
into the ground or air.
Number five is new world aliens.
It's been suggested
that the New World Order
is either comprised of or controlled by
an intelligent alien race.
From cover ups of a crashed
alien space craft at Roswell,
to the secret testing of advanced aircraft
at Area 51 in Nevada, the U.S. government
andtorturous clicks
and sound distortion which never end
from inside their own head.
This effect has been proven
to work since the 1960s.
Number three is the one world government.
It's often believed that the
New World Order's main goal
is to create a one world
government which either
controls all countries or
abolishes them altogether.
Conspiracy theorists
believe that this agenda
is already coming to fruition
and use a few examples
from history to prove their point.
For example, throughout the
19th and early 20th centuries,
there was a desire by some to
create an imperial federation
out of the existing ex-colonies
of the United Kingdom.
The end goal was that these countries
would eventually annex
the rest of the world
and create a global federal system
much like the modern United States.
The Commonwealth of Nations
which was formed in 1949
is considered by some to be
the first step towards this.

Q
How did the
Alley Theatre
get its name?
On Nov. 10, 1947, more than
100 people met at a dance studio
at 3617 Main to discuss a new
theater for the city. Membership
cost a dime and the payee received
a vote on each question that
needed resolution. Actress Rita
Cobler paid her dime, looked at
the narrow path that led to the
building and suggested the new
theater be named the Alley. The
name got unanimous approval.
The dance-studio-turnedtheater-at-night could seat only
87 theatergoers who suffered
no heat in the winter and no
fans in the summer. The nearest
drinking fountain was three
flights up and a sycamore tree,
which grew through the roof with
gaps around it, guaranteed that
those seated nearby would get wet
when it rained. Two years after
the Alley’s first production, they
moved to a fan factory on Berry
Avenue and in 1968and
carefully crafted that lifts us from the routine of our
daily lives.
Lescaut to the
Ballet
Houston Ballet is launching
its 40th season Sept. 10-20
with Manon, the dramatic
story of love and money.
This production draws on
two well-known operas: one
in Italian by Puccini, the
other in French by Massenet.
The choreography is by 20th
century giant Sir Kenneth
MacMillan, making this one
of the past half-century’s
most popular full-evening
story ballets.
HGO’s New Elixir
A new production of
Donizetti’s lively opera The
Elixir of Love—the story
about a poor boy who falls
in love above his class—was
a hit of the prestigious
Glyndebourne Festival in
Scotland this summer. Now,
that very same production
opens the 2009-2010

Season, featuring Russian
soprano Ekaterina Siurina
as love interest Adina and
tenor Eric Cutler as the
“unworthy” Nemorino.

extraordinary resource
of Tindale's journal.
And you will see that
cropping up in the slides
that we'll move to.
And even more significantly, the
testimony of Aboriginal people
whom the expedition encountered
at the various stations
along the route.
And I've sort of mapped
those out here, or at least
marked them.
Every green dot is one of
the stations that Tindale
and Birdsell visited on their
16,000-mile journey in 1938,
'39.
So the background to the
expedition, how did it happen?
By the early 1920s,
Australian anthropology
had emerged from an earlier
semi-professional base
in museum ethnography, informed
by the central paradigm
of natural history, part of
the British scientific legacy.
in.
Adelaide, this
amalgam of interests
had led to the formation of a
distinct group of naturalists
and medical men who, personified
by the South Australian
Museum's director, Edward
Sterling, developed
a coterie of interest focused
on physical anthropology,
a number of individuals.
And under his directorship
from 1888 until 1913,
he'd seeded a particularbrand
of physical anthropology, which
gradually broadened into social
anthropology during the 1920s.
But it retained a
strong empirical basis
focused on defining the physical
types of Aboriginal people
and investigating their
physical, social, and material
culture trace.
By the early 20s, these
successors to Sterling,
and particularly, the
zoologist and anatomist
Frederic Wood Jones--
no relation-- had begun to
focus their efforts on salvage
ethnography in Central
Australia, where Aboriginal
communities had only recently
experienced the effects
of European contact.
By 1925, when representatives
of the Rockefeller Foundation
had visited Australia
with the plan
to fund Australia's first
chair of anthropology,
Wood Jones considered
that Adelaide
had a good chance of securing
it along the lines being pursued
by his group of researchers.
When this bid failed,
the Adelaide group
formed their own Board for
Anthropological Research
and mounted an
extraordinary series
of short, intensive
field expeditions
to Central Australia each August
in the university vacation
from 1926 until the
Second World War.
And Tindale was the
social anthropologist
on those expeditions.

September of 1793.
The epidemic
continued to spread,
even infecting secretary of the
treasury and future Lin Manuel
Miranda musical subject
Alexander Hamilton.
Washington tried
to tough it out,
but when his neighbors came
down with yellow fever,
he fled the city.
So did 20,000 others,
including Thomas Jefferson.
Before long,
Philadelphia, which once
had a population
of 50,000 people,
was practically a ghost town.
According to Samuel
Breck, the city population
was reduced by half,
yet the disease
continued to spread
faster and faster.
People who were healthy one
day would be dead the next.
Breck wrote, the
wealthy soon fled.
The fearless or indifferent
remain from choice.
The poor from necessity.
In 1793, Philadelphia
was still the capital
of both the United
States of America
and the state of Pennsylvania.
So when yellow fever
shut the town down,
the state and federal
government shut down with it.
Washington and his
cabinet fled in September.
Shortly thereafter,
the legislature
went into an indefinite recess
when a dead body was discovered
on the statehouse steps.
Itfell on Matthew Clarkson,
the Mayor of Philadelphia,
and a small committee
he formed to govern
the city during the crisis.
According to Samuel Breck,
most of the wealthy citizens
of Philadelphia fled the city.
Historian Ashley
Bowen suggests this
was a politically sensitive
issue for the young nation.
They didn't want to suggest
that Philadelphia wasn't
a healthy place for
the nation's capital
or that the republic
itself was diseased.
To help Philadelphia
survive the epidemic,
the mayor formed a committee
that was known as, well,
the committee.
They distributed food,
paid for relief efforts
by taking out loans, and helped
connect people with doctors.
They also arranged to take
donations of money and supplies
from concerned Philadelphians
and Americans in other cities.
Death and grief-- it pervades
nearly every house in the city.
Benjamin Rush was a prominent
doctor, especially when it
came to fighting yellow fever.
He took on a leadership role.
He worked for the

Old Virginia,
the mother-state of slavery,
as a witness of such a sudden
reverse.
The day is clear,
the fields of grain are
beautiful and the birds are
singing sweet melodious songs
while poor Mr.
Clayton is crying to his
servants for mercy."
That's a revolution,
described in the words of a
former slave,
words that were trying to
capture the transformations of
history at the same time his
actions were trying to transform
history.
Words.
Now, we will forever debate in
this society the meaning of the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Over and over and over again we
debate: did it really free
anybody?
Why did it only free the slaves
in the states in rebellion?
Why was Lincoln so bloody
legalistic in this document?
Was Richard Hofstadter right
when he said it had all the
eloquence of a bill of lading
(which means a grocery list)?
Why was it written like it was
a legalprint,
would spread like wildfire
across the South,
and it would bring
about--there's no question--it
will bring about increased
activity,
increased flight,
increased movement toward Union
lines by freed people,
where they can do it.
And there's all over the record
we have testimony of Confederate
soldiers themselves,
of Southerners,
white Southerners themselves
saying they first heard about
the Emancipation Proclamation
from their slaves.
Third, it committed the United
States Government in the eyes of
the world--and that's terribly
important when we remember that
Great Britain was on the verge
of recognition of the
Confederacy--more on that a bit
later in the course,
of how that foreign
relationship and the problem of
Civil War diplomacy is being
managed by the two governments,
Union and Confederate.
And fourth, on the second page
of the Emancipation
Proclamation--or is it the
third--in another very
legalistic paragraph Lincoln
formally authorizes once and for
all,
although it's already begun to
happen, the recruitment of black
men into the Union Armies and
Navy,

was
suspected to have eaten beef
or have beef in his fridge.
As a result of which, a mob,
a Hindu nationalist mob,
went to his house,
lynched him to death,
and lynched one of his
sons also, who escaped,
luckily, escaped death.
That was also dropped
after a lot of criticism.
Then a third
campaign began, which
has been called the Bharat
Mata campaign, Mother India
campaign, which insists
that you, when demanded,
should sing a victory
anthem for Mother India.
And if you do not sing a
victory anthem for Mother India,
a mob can be unleashed on you.
And there are legislators
from assemblies
who've been tossed
out, not simply
average citizens,
legislators from assemblies
who refused to say "Bharat
Mata ki jai," "victory
to Mother India."
Tossed out of the assembly.
Now India's courts,
of course-- now
the Bharat Mata campaign
is still underway
and probably will lead to a
lot of vigilante violence.
All of this leads to a
lot of vigilante violence.
Groupsare privileged to
go and attack dissenters.
And the government
does not stop that.
The government does not stop it.
Another example.
When the student
leader of India's,
perhaps, leading university,
Jawaharlal Nehru, the JNU,
was present in a meeting
which was discussing
the fate of Kashmir in
India, and some people
ended up saying India
should break up in pieces.
He did not say that,
but some people
did say that in the meeting.
He was charged with sedition
and brought into legal--
the sedition case is still on.
Not only that, when he was
brought into Patiala court,
about 200 lawyers
attacked him physically.
Lawyers are supposed to
assume that he is not guilty
until proven guilty.
But 100 odd lawyers physically
attacked him for disloyalty
to the nation.
And it was difficult
to save him, actually,
in the court of law where
the trial was about to begin.
Now the role of courts, of
course, is extremely important.

I'm really delighted
at this moment
to be able to share
with you all some
of the highlights from Philip's
career before he dives in.
Philip Jones has been a
curator in the South Australian
Museum's Department of
Anthropology since the 1980s.
Apparently, he was
a volunteer there
when he first
started out in 1981.
His doctoral thesis
concerns the history
of Australian
ethnographic collections,
based on an analysis
of 1,300 collectors
and their collections,
which is an impressive feat
for a doctoral student.
He's worked with several other
anthropologists and linguists.
He's undertaken fieldwork
in southern South Australia,
the Simpson Desert
in Central Australia.
And as a museum curator who is
expected to produce exhibitions
and publications,
he came to realize
at one point in his career
that research should not
be open-ended but should
result in a clear contribution
to knowledge, and ideally,
that this contribution should
be accessible and useful
to descendant communities.
His fieldwork with
Aboriginal people
has resulted in a large number
of publications on history,
art, andethnography.
He has five books and about
30 articles and chapters,
and more than 30 exhibitions
curated from his base
at the South Australian Museum.
That museum is
the one that holds
the largest and most
representative collection
of Aboriginal material culture.
In Australia, he pioneered a new
approach to museum ethnography,
where he uses history
of particular objects
and their biographies
as entry points
into new examinations
of the frontier
of the zone of
encounter, characterized
by mutual curiosity
engagement just as much
as a zone of violence
and exploitation.
He used this approach
in his 2000 book, Ocher
and Rust, Artifacts
and Encounters
on Australian Frontiers,
an amazing book which
you should all check
out, which also
won the inaugural Prime
Minister's Award for Literary
Non-fiction in 2008.
In recent years, his
field of interest
has widened further
beyond the borders
of the Australian continent to
include scientific expeditions
and ethnography from
further on in the field.
And during 2001, Philip began
intensive investigations
on Australian
Aboriginal collections
outside of Australia,
so in European museums.

the first Egyptian dynasty-less than
4500 years ago! They also believed that the
Mississippi Valley was sufficiently isolated from the
Ohio Valley to warrant the simultaneous flourishing of
quite distinct cultures over a long period. Since
carbon dating was not yet discovered, Thomas used
stratigraphic (after Lyell) analysis and, following
the rest of the mandate, included detailed record
keeping and documentation whenever appropriate. His
findings were broadly accepted, and are still
referenced.
Underneath the layer of shells the earth was very dark
and appeared to be mixed with vegetable mold to the
depth of 1 foot. At the bottom of this, resting on the
original surface of the ground, was a very large
skeleton lying horizontally at full length. Although
very soft, the bones were sufficiently distinct to
allow of careful measurement before attempting to
remove them. The length from the base of the skull to
thebones of the toes was found to be 7 feet 3 inches.
It is probable, therefore, that this individual when
living was fully 7½ feet high. At the head lay some
small pieces of mica and a green substance, probably
the oxide of copper, though no ornament or article of
copper was discovered.

the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution 1890-1891
(published in 1894)
(explorations in Roane County, Tennessee)
But Thomas' time was limited because of the large
territory he was to explore. Under such working
conditions, anomalies were put aside for future
research-to be, as it has turned out, forgotten.
Thomas was forced to rely on the accounts of
operatives in many cases. Evidently, some of these
people discerned between "Indian" burials and the
burials of the Mound Builders, perhaps challenging the
patience of Powell.

know."
Think of that,
"the master of those who know."
For centuries,
Aristotle's authority seemed to
go virtually unchallenged.
Are you with me?
Yet, the authority of Aristotle
obviously no longer has quite
the power that it once did.
The attack began not all that
long ago, really only as late as
the seventeenth century.
A man, who we will read later
this semester,
named Thomas Hobbes,
was one who led the pack,
led the charge.
In the forty-sixth chapter of
Leviathan,
a chapter we will read later,
Hobbes wrote,
"I believe that scarce anything
can be more repugnant to
government than much of what
Aristotle has said in his
Politics,
nor more ignorantly than a
great part of his
Ethics."
Think of that – "nothing more
repugnant to government than
what Aristotle wrote in his
Politics."
Naturally, all thinkers,
to some degree,
have read Aristotle through
their own lenses.
Aquinas read Aristotle as a
defender of monarchy.
Dante, in his book,
De Monarchia on
monarchy, saw Aristotle as
giving credenceto the idea of a
universal monarchy under the
leadership of a Christian
prince.
But Hobbes saw Aristotle quite
differently.
For Hobbes, Aristotle taught
the dangerous doctrine of
republican government that was
seen to be practiced
particularly during the
Cromwellian Period in England,
during the civil war.
Aristotle's doctrine that man
is a political animal,
Hobbes believed,
could only result and did
result, in fact,
in regicide,
the murder of kings.
There are certainly echoes of
this reading of Aristotle as a
teacher of participatory
republican government in the
later writings of democratic
thinkers from Tocqueville to
Hannah Arendt.
Anyway, this returns us to the
enigma of Aristotle.
Who was this strange and
elusive man whose writings seem
to have been enlisted both for
the support of monarchy and for
republics,
even for a universal monarchy
and a smaller participatory
democratic kind of government?
Who was this man and how to
understand his writings?

In the Pacific, G-Is encountered
World War II's fiercest

An elite fighting force called
the Bushmasters
rose to the occasion.
We came up with the name
Bushmaster in Panama .
They killed great big snakes
that were called

The Bushmasters were made up
largely of Mexican-American men
recruited from the
Arizona National Guard.
They trained in the jungles
of Panama and New Guinea
in preparation for action
in the South Pacific.
General Douglas MacArthur
called them

He, of course, went into a POW

cross the sea
to Delos the next day
to give birth to Apollo.
In his early years
when Apollo spent his time
herding cows,
he was reared by Thriae,
the bee nymphs,
who trained him
and enhanced his
prophetic skills.
Apollo is also said
to have invented the lyre,
and along with Artemis,
the art of archery.
He then taught to the humans
the art of healing
and archery.
Phoebe, his grandmother,
gave the oracular shrine
of Delphi to Apollo
as a birthday gift.
Themis inspired him
to be the oracular
voice of Delphi thereon.
Although Apollo had
many love affairs,
they were mostly unfortunate:
Daphne, in her efforts
to escape him, was
changed into a laurel,
his sacred shrub;
Coronis (mother of Asclepius)
was shot by
Apollo’s twin, Artemis,
when Coronis proved unfaithful;
and Cassandra
(daughter ofKing Priam of Troy)
rejected his advances
and was punished
by being made to utter
true prophecies
that no one believed.
The fate of Niobe
was prophesied by Apollo
while he was still
in Leto's womb.
Niobe was the
queen of Thebes
and wife of Amphion.
She displayed hubris
when she boasted that
she was superior to Leto
because she had
fourteen children (Niobids),
seven male and seven female,
while Leto had only two.
She further mocked
Apollo's effeminate appearance
and Artemis' manly appearance.
Leto, insulted by this,
told her children
to punish Niobe.
Accordingly,
Apollo killed Niobe's sons,
and Artemis her daughters.
According to
some versions of the myth,
among the Niobids,
Chloris and her brother Amyclas
were not killed
because they prayed to Leto.
Amphion,
at the sight of his dead sons,
either killed himself
or was killed by Apollo
after swearing revenge.
A devastated Niobe
fled to Mount Sipylos
in Asia Minor
and turned into stone
as she wept.
Her tears formed
the river Achelous.

"It's really just about
grown men taking money

Not everyone loves me."
That never give up reputation

Memphis Charlie,
and everyone, win or
lose, respect him.
He began to parlay
his business success
into the philanthropic arena,
and only one word that

He said, rather than give

he would rather invest

Impact.
His formation of Peer
Power challenged youth
to be professional, productive,
and contributors to society.

for our great city.
He says, "I'm so proud
that we are turning

The National graduation

The difference in that
graduation rate is,

all, I love Memphis.

micro perspective.
From a macro perspective,
I'm very very concerned about
the accelerating deterioration
of any cohesion in the
United States of America.

other variants,
the "kisses four"
and so on--
the 1848 version is a kind of
unselfconscious--
in McGann's view--romance
subscribing to certain medieval
ideas about women,
simultaneously putting them on
a pedestal and fearing,
at the same time,
that they're invested with a
kind of black magic which
destroys the souls and
dissipates the sap of deserving
young gentlemen:
all of this is ideologically
programmed,
according to McGann,
in the 1848 version.
Why?
Because Charles Brown behaved
despicably toward women,
he didn't like Fanny Brawne,
and because Monckton Milnes,
the actual editor of the 1848
edition,
loved pornography and was a big
collector of erotica.
So that's why the 1848 text
with its fear of and denigration
of women, in contrast to the
1820 text, is inferior.
Well, two things:
first of all,
who's to say the 1848 text
wasn't Keats's last thoughts?
In other words,
yes, he was already ill when
the Indicator text was
published in 1820.
It is pretty close to the end
of hispolitically
correct.
He doesn't like "To
Autumn" because he thinks
that "Autumn"
was published in collusion with
Keats's conservative friends in
the Poems of 1820,
which bowdlerized everything he
had to say of a progressive
political nature.
He thinks that "To
Autumn" is a big sellout,
in other words,
and that yes,
1819 happened to be a year of
good harvest,
and so Keats turns that year of
good harvest into something
permanent,
into a kind of cloud
cuckoo-land in which the fruit
falls into your basket and the
fish jump into your net and
everything is just perfect.
Well, do you think the poem is
really like that?
You've read the third stanza,
which McGann totally ignores
apart from "Where are the
songs of Spring?
Ay, where are they?"
In other words,
he gives you the opening but he
doesn't give you any sense of
the rest of the stanza,
because for him "To
Autumn" is all about the
first stanza.

which
provided the ultimate
vindication of the American
visionaries of strategic air power.
The super fortresses made
an immense contribution
to subsequent bomber design.
It was the second World War's
heaviest production war plane
and the first pressurized aircraft
to obtain large scale production.
It was also the first
to make extensive use
of remotely controlled
armament but perhaps the most
remarkable feature of its history
was the fact that it was
designed, built, tested
and placed in operational
service within four years.
Although each type had
its staunch appearance,
the consolidated liberator
was somewhat overshadowed
in fame if not an achievement.
By the Boeing Fortress
during the second World War,
this was despite the
fact that not only was
the liberator built in
considerable larger numbers
than the fortress, it
was produced in greater
quantities then any
other American aircraft.
Such a unique production
record is all the more
remarkable for such a
large four engine aircraft
and the liberator
operated over more fronts
for a considerably longerperiod
and was produced in a
greater variety of versions
than any other allied or enemy bomber.
By comparison with the
fortress, the liberator
was indeed an ugly duckling.
Its deep, slab sided
fusalage an immense barn door
like vertical table services,
were features hardly
indicative of speed and agility.
One of the prime virtues of the liberator
and one which invariably
hallmarks a great war plane
was its versatility.
In addition to strategic
bombing, it was used
with equal facility for
maritime reconnaissance
and anti submarine operations,
passenger and freight
transportation, as a flying tanker,
and for photographic
reconnaissance as well
as for many other duties.
It was this quality in fact
which largely accounted
for the extraordinary
total of 18,188 liberators
and liberator variance
constructed by the USAAF
between delivery of the
first production aircraft
in June 1941 and the
closing down of the last
assembly line on the 31st of May 1945.

CALB Launch Event
On Sunday 10th January, 132
bowlers from four local clubs,
Almeria, Cabrera, Indalo and
La Mata braved the cold and
attended the launch event of a new
provincial alliance. Barry Woods,
President of the host club Cabrera,
welcomed the players and paid
tribute to members of a steering
group, formed last summer, to pave
the way forward for the alliance
and form the Costa Almeria Lawn
Bowls Committee.
He wished
everyone an enjoyable afternoon
and expressed his hope that the
alliance would continue to grow
and prosper.
Ian Brewster Chairof the newly
formed committee thanked Barry
for his welcome and paid tribute
to Cabrera members for providing
well-maintained
facilities,
in
particular the bowling greens.
He then introduced the delegates
Jim Pike and Colin Wright from
Almeria, David Jenkins from
Cabrera, Brian Halliwell from
Indalo and Pete Anderson and
Barrie West from La Mata so that
a name could be put to a face and,
added jokingly, so that people
would know who to blame when
things go wrong. Mick Johnson,
also from Indalo, was training with
the national squad and was unable
to attend. Ian also introduced
Gerard
Douglas,
committee
Administrator, and stated that the
delegates were easy to work with,
totally committed to and motivated
by their role and, as a committee,
they intended to walk before they
run, learn from their mistakes and
give the alliance their best shot.
On behalf of the committee Ian

attendance and reminded them

in the water with
an animal that formidable.
(intense music)
The few steps between the
deck and the shark cage
created a bridge to the
world of the great white.
My heart began to race
English:
but this time, the nerves
I felt were more distinct.
This was an adrenalin rush
from the excitement
of a life's dream
nearing closer with
each and every step.
My moment had finally arrived.
Here we go!
(water splashing)
(bubbles burbling)
As I entered the
cool 65 degree water,
my eyes began to adjust
and I became aware of
the endless blue void
that lurked below.
The sunlight danced through
the 12,000 feet of water
surrounding the
landscape of the island.
And there was no
bottom in sight.
Meaning the sharks
could be anywhere
and come from any direction.
Looking around, scanning
for our first shark,
I was in awe of the
clarity of the water
and the abundance
of fish in the area.
Our main challenge at this point
was getting properly
But after a quick lap around
our cage, it disappeared again.
As fast as the giant flashed
into view, it was gone.
But this was proof, a victory,
we were going to be
seeing sharks today.
And hopefully, lots of them.
On average, great white sharks
will have up to 300 teeth
in their mouths
at any given time.
And these teeth are
arranged in up to seven rows
with the first two known
as the working teeth.
(tense music)
As you can see by our footage,
their attacks are
calculated and precise.
The torpedo shape of their body
allows the great white to
accelerate up to speeds of,
get this, 35 miles an hour,
and strike with
the force of 29Gs.
So forget about the
bite for a second,
the impact alone is enough
to kill prey all by itself.
As I calmly observe
the frenzy of sharks
surrounding the cage,
I am reminded that
I'm in their world.

This is 1985.
1985 started off on a
seemingly positive note,
when National
Geographic published
a cover story of
Koko the Gorilla, who
learned sign language.
Koko got a brand
new kitten, which
she named All Ball,
because she thought
her new pet looked like a ball.
Compared to what my friends
have named their pets,
she is not the worst name giver.
Sadly, All Ball was hit by a
car after the kitten escaped
Koko's cage the month
before, in December of '84.
When Koko was informed, she
signed the words bad, sad, bad.
Frown, cry, frown, sad, trouble.
It wasn't all sad for Koko
though, a few months later,
Francine Patterson, Koko's
instructor and caregiver,
allowed her to pick out two more
kittens, which she did, calling
them Lipstick and Smoky.
In her time, Koko the Gorilla
became quite the star,
meeting celebrities like Robin
Williams, Leonardo DiCaprio,
and Mr. Rogers.
On January 20th, Ronald
Reagan began his second term

U.S. hampered
her efforts, she says.
“It took three
years to get my first
article accepted,” she
says. “I was shot down
in flames each time I
submitted an article.”
Since that start,
Holtzhausen has published
27 scholarly articles and
book chapters, presented
her findings at more
than 45 conferences and
received more than 20
grants and awards. She
has mentored more than
35 graduate students in
her career, several of whom
have become professors at
the University of Miami,
University of Maryland
and Georgia State University, among other schools.
In 2008, an OSU
search committee
approached Holtzhausen
and asked her to apply
for director of the OSU
School of Journalism
and Broadcasting. Her
research had come to
committee members’
attention through the
Association for Education in Journalism and
Mass Communication, the
most influential organization in journalism
and mass communication education in the U.S.
Holtzhausen did
so, won the position and
for the next few years
worked to rebuild a
school whose mission
was rapidly changing.
“There were hints of
the school’sname being
changed when I started,
so as school head, the
first order of business
was to review the curriculum,” she says. What
she discovered was the
school needed a name
that would more accurately describe its mission.
In 2010 — in the
face of some resistance from alumni and
professors — the school
changed its name to the
OSU School of Media
and Strategic Communications. Bachelor’s
degrees now are offered
in strategic communication, multimedia journalism and sports media.
“The curriculum
changes better prepare
students for successful
careers in today’s rapidly
evolving media landscape,” she says.
Making sense
of language
Along with her
administrative duties,
Holtzhausen keeps up
with that rapidly changing
media landscape through
the research she started
at Rand Afrikaans
University (now University of Johannesburg) in
Johannesburg in 1995.
She has taken her
research and published
it in a book titled Public
Relations as Activism:
Postmodern Approaches
to Theory & Practice.
Holtzhausen
uses vignettes to
explain her studies.

Gallery transformed into a sound environment
by Leann M. Kicker
Beeps, buzzes, dim light,
tilting columns: the art gal-lery
has been transformed
into a new environment.
The room is filled with a
group of strategically
placed columns which
emanate sound. Two gal-lery
lights are the only
illumination. The sound is
a series of synthesized,
computer-prompted tones
and silence. It is called
"Sculpture/Sound" and re-quires
participation rather
than mere viewing.
The work was created
by Stewart luckman, pro-fessor
of art at Bethel, and
David Held, sound artist,
in collaboration with a
group of four students
from the interim course
"Pursuit of Excellence."
The students (Andre
LaBerge, Beth Langstaff,
Chris Anible and Steve
Mills) "were artists who
worked with artists to do
a major work," said Luck-man.
Luckman explained
that the students "got into
my head about my inten-tions
and made important
decisions about the piece."
Luckman made it quite
clear that the students did
not just install the piece;
they actually built and in-stalled
it. "The show,"

great
pleasure to introduce
Richard Schacht to you.
Dick was an undergraduate
philosophy concentrator here
at Harvard, as
you've just heard,
where, among other things,
he studied with Paul Tillich
and with John Rawls.
He did his graduate
work at Princeton
working with Walter Kaufmann.
He joined the
Department of Philosophy
at the University of Illinois
at Urbana Champaign in 1967.
And he is currently
Professor of Philosophy
and Jubilee Professor of
Liberal Arts and Sciences there.
On top of being a superb teacher
and a productive scholar,
he has tirelessly served
the University of Illinois
into long stints as chair of
the philosophy department,
as chair of the University
Senate, as an interim dean,
and in many other capacities.
Dick has worked in
a wide-ranging way--
on European philosophy, mostly
of the 19th and 20th centuries,
but some earlier modern
philosophy as well,
on philosophical
anthropology, social theory,
and the theory of value.
One focus of his work
has been Nietzsche, whom
he's going to talk about today.
Besidesnumerous essays,
Dick has written two books
about Nietzsche, one entitled
Nietzsche in 1983 and another,
Making Sense of Nietzsche,
an examination and response
to recent debates about the
interpretation of Nietzsche
in 1995.
He's played a constant leading
role in the North American
Nietzsche Society and edited
a number of collections
dealing with Nietzsche's work.
He's also written on
Hegelian and Marxist themes
and alienation
and, more recently,
in the future of
alienation and has
published a series of clear
and interesting studies
of modern philosophers
in his two books,
Classical Modern Philosophers--
Descartes to Kant and Hegel
and After-- Studies in
Continental Philosophy
Between Kant and Sartre.
Just last year, Dick
and Philip Kitcher
published Finding an
Ending, a co-authored study
of philosophical themes in
Wagner's Ring [? circle. ?]
Among other projects, Dick is
currently the general editor
of the projected
five-volume Norton Anthology
of Western Philosophy.

Today we're going to be hearing
about when free speech is
actually its opposite.
So from Dr. Shon Meckfessel.
He a faculty member of
the English department
at Highland College.
He received his PhD in
Language and Rhetoric
at the University of
Washington in 2014,
and a Master's in
Teaching and English
to Speakers of other
Languages in 2010.
He has published two books,
Nonviolence Ain't What
it Used to Be: Unarmed
Insurrection and the Rhetoric
of Resistance, and
Suffled How it Gush:
A North American
Anarchist in the Balkans.
Meckfessel has authored a
number of academic and popular
articles, and has appeared
as a social movement
scholar on radio and TV.
He has been involved in
social movements and protests
for the last 30 years in the US,
Eastern Europe, and the Middle
East.
So without further ado,
Dr. Shon Meckfessel.
Thank you so much, [INAUDIBLE].
I want to begin by
acknowledging that we
are in occupied Duwamish land.
And we were honored, actually,
on Monday-- ora student
group also, invited
Alice Walker the Pulitzer Prize
winning author of The Color
Purple, very famous
novel, famous film,
to come and speak at the
University of Michigan
at the same college.
And the college dis-invited her.
They said that she could
not speak because--
they actually sent
a letter to her.
They said some of the
donors in the school
did not like what she has said
about the state of Israel.
She made comments that
said that she grew up
in the Jim Crow South.
And when she visited
Israel and Palestine,
she said the system there
reminded her of growing up
in the Jim Crow South.
So because she'd
been talking about,
the same university with that
same chancellor we just heard
from said she was not allowed
to talk, and cancelled her talk.

mainly the existence,
perhaps the inevitable
existence,
of subversion with respect to
structures and circulatory
systems of power.
It's this relationship between
power and subversion that the
New Historicism,
especially in taking up issues
of the Early Modern period,
tends to focus on and to
specialize in.
Now it's not wholly clear that
Jerome McGann has ever really
thought of himself as a New
Historicist.
He has been so designated by
others,
but I think there is one rather
important difference in
emphasis,
at least between what he's
doing and what Greenblatt and
his colleagues do in the Early
Modern period.
McGann doesn't really so much
stress the reciprocity of
history and discourse.
He is interested in the
presence of history,
the presence ofimmediate
social and also personal
circumstances in the history of
a text.
His primary concern is with--at
least in this essay--textual
scholarship.
He himself is the editor of the
new standard works of Byron.
He has also done a standard
works of Swinburne,
and he has been a vocal and
colorful spokesperson of a
certain point of view within the
recondite debates of textual
scholarship: whether textual
scholarship ought to produce a
text that's an amalgam of a
variety of available manuscripts
and printed texts;
whether the text it produces
ought to be the last and best
thoughts of the author--
that's the position that McGann
seems to be taking in this
essay--
or whether the text,
on the contrary,
ought to be the first burst of
inspiration of the author.
All the people who prefer the
earliest versions of
Wordsworth's Prelude,
for example,
would favor that last point of
view.
In other words,

elucidate various
points, comparison is made
with trade, but there's
no real evidence.
We don't really know what
he did for a living.
We know that he married well.
His first wife, Khadija,
K-H-A-D-I-J-A, was from a
wealthy family, a higher class
family than Mohammed's own.
And we also know that Mohammed
got his start as a religious
thinker, as a prophet, at the
age of forty, an encouragement
to those of us who are
slow to get our
careers off the ground.
The discouraging part is that
his career only lasts a
relatively brief time.
He dies ten years after the
Hegira, but he does accomplish
an awful lot.
What was his religious
experience?
What was the revelation
vouchsafed to him that he
preached to the citizens
of Mecca beginning
around 615 to 620?
It is certainly a message of
monotheism against what was
considered to be a prevailing
paganism, or polytheism on the
part of the merchants and
tribesmen of Arabia.
But aswe've said, Arabia
had lots of Jews and
Christians as well.
And it's a little tricky to tell
how much Mohammed would
have known about Judaism
and Christianity.
But it looks as if he did.
And indeed, it looks as if his
preaching begins as a kind of
biblical monotheism
for the Arabs.
It is a message to the Arabs
congruent with the message of
Judaism and Christianity, the
message of Judaism and
Christianity being understood as
a statement of the unity of
God and a progressive
interpretation of God's
message by a series of prophets,
a series of prophets
beginning with Abraham,
including Moses, Isaiah,
Jesus, according to Islam,
and Mohammed.
Mohammed is then in the
line of prophets.
The degree to which this means
that Islam takes on its own
identity is hard to say.
And the tendency of scholars
outside of the Islamic
tradition, that is people like
Berkey, is to say it takes
quite a while.

extensive
network of Presbyterian
sympathizers amongst the clergy
and the laity throughout the
kingdom.
And that network was activated
in 1584 and 1586 to try to
introduce further bills into
Parliament calling for a
Presbyterian system and the
revision of the prayer book.
These attempts were again
scotched by royal councilors
sitting in Parliament.
In 1586, for example,
Parliament itself sent both the
promoter of the bill and those
who defended it in Parliament to
the Tower of London briefly to
cool their heels.
The Presbyterians had failed
again.
But the exasperation and the
frustration that they felt was
vividly expressed in 1588 to '89
in the secret publication of a
number of extremely scurrilous
attacks upon the bishops of the
Church of England.
These were known as the
Marprelate Tracts.
They were directed against
bishops, prelates;
the Marprelate Tracts.
The Archbishop of
Canterbury instigated an
investigation to discover the
secret press that was producing
them,
and in the course of that John
Field'sPuritan network was
uncovered and the movement was
essentially smashed.
Meanwhile, as the 1580s drew to
a close, some of the leaders of
Puritanism were dying away.
John Field died in 1588.
Some of his sympathizers in the
Royal Council,
the Duke of Leicester,
Sir Francis Walsingham,
Sir Walter Mildmay all died in
1589 or 1590.
Puritanism as a political
movement was over for the time
being but it left three
legacies.
First of all,
there were small groups of
Puritan extremists who were so
disillusioned that they broke
from the Church of England
altogether and formed separatist
congregations meeting in secret.
One of their leaders said that
they had decided they would have
"reformation without
tarrying for any."
They wouldn't tarry for the
magistrate;
they would have reformation
without tarrying for any.
Some of them were eventually
forced to flee abroad.
The group led by Robert Browne
based in the city of Norwich
removed themselves to the
Netherlands to escape potential
persecution.

Blooms as a precious flower
Generous touches, gentle care
Sprinkled by a passionate shower
Grasp it
Cling to it
As if dear life depends
Treasure it
Take care of it

the British government
as the source of a story
that the British
government had exaggerated
the evidence on WMD.
Anyway in 2004, those of
us who'd worked on Iraq
were invited to testify to
the first official inquiry
into the war, the
Butler Inquiry.
And I decided to testify.
I wrote a long document
explaining my views
that the threat from
Iraq had been grossly
exaggerated by the
British government,
that the war was illegal
according to the resolutions I,
myself, had negotiated,
and the British government
had ignored alternatives
to war, which
is a complicated
story about sanctions
and economic restrictions.
It's never talked about,
because everybody focuses on,
did they lie or not?
But in fact, it's, in many
ways, much more important,
because there were
peaceful alternatives
to undermining Saddam regime.
I read papers about them.
And I know for a fact
that these were not
considered before Britain
went to war in 2003.
Anyway, when I wrote that
testimony, I had a crisis.
I thought, Iwhich
advises countries and
political movements
all over the world on
their diplomacy about them.
And so it started with Kosovo.
I took the Kosovo prime minister
to the UN Security Council,
where hitherto he
had been prohibited.
I told the Kosovars
what was really going on
in the diplomatic process.
I talked to Martti
Ahtisaari, the Finnish UN
envoy who was dealing with
the Kosovo Serbia negotiations
to decide the future
status of Kosovo.
Interestingly, all
of them accepted
the need for what I was doing.
Because they realized it
really helped the process
for the Kosovo government
to understand it.
It also helped them push
back against the extremists
in Kosovo who were
saying, oh, this diplomacy
is such bullshit.
The international
community is never
going to release us
from Serbia's hold,
never going to make
us independent.
We should unilaterally
declare independence,
which would have been a
highly provocative thing,
and probably would have
led to a resumption of war
between Serbia and Kosovo.

Language course
by Anita Baerg
Many Bethel students
became involved with the
Hmong in the Twin Cities
area during January when
the interim course "Learn-ing
Language" opened new
opportunities for both the
students and the Hmong.
Don Larson, professor
of linguistics and anthro-pology,
originated the idea
for three reasons. The first
was that although there
are over 10,000 Hmong in
the Metro area, not many
people in the dominant cul-ture
know the Hmong lan-guage.
"It's a rare domin-gram
could be done by
themselves. They were en-couraged
to use their own
initiative and skills in work-ing
out pronunciation and
grammar exercises.
A typical day began
with a team of Hmong
, meeting with small groups
of students for language
learning. Another group of
Hmong meet with Larson
at that time. After all had
lunch together, the stu-dents
and the Hmong
switched roles. A group of
volunteers taught the
Hmong in the afternoon,
and some students con-tinued
with language
study.
Up to 50 Bethel students
volunteered to instruct the
Hmong on howto adjust
to the Twin Cities culture.
Topics included repairing

and servicing motor vehi-cles,
teaching the Hmong
how to keep and balance a
checking account, and help-ing
them to read the work-wanted
ads in the news-papers.
"I enjoyed this class be-cause
it opened my eyes
refugee situation and made
me aware of their exper-iences,"
said Charlene
Autey, a student in the
class. "I'm also excited
about Americans taking
the initiative to learn the
(Hmong) language."
Most people working
with the course thought it
was a positive step toward
helping and learning about
the Hmong. "I thought it
was an excellent exper-ience,"
said Autey. The
Hmong too benefited
from this and showed pos-itive
signs of enjoyment,
said Larson.
The original organiza-tion
and funding for the
class was done by the bus-iness
department under
the direction of Kevin
Walton. Funding came
jointly from the Student
Senate and the administra
tion.

Arianna concludes that there will be winners and that all products and services are differentiated in a variety of ways, to which I would agree: there are many ways in which a staking provider can enhance and market their offering.
The emergence of crypto lending platforms and staking networks enable new types of behaviors for owners of cryptoassets. In his post on the CoinFund blog, Jake Brukhman shines light on the interplay between borrowing and staking cryptoassets. The main takeaways are that staking providers could create ways to earn returns without being exposed to the fiat-denominated volatility of the underlying cryptoasset by staking borrowed assets, and that staking and borrowing rates may | {

But of course the representations
of that culture today are not owned
by the people who founded that culture.
But when it's understood,
if we go back to the medieval
West-African empires
of Mali, Songhai, Gao, ancient Ghana,
you have a character that
the Malians refer to as a griot.

The griot was a rhythmic,
oral poet, singer,
musician, custodian of the history,
of the spiritual tradition, etc. etc. etc.,
of those empires, of that culture.

mother
of a solider who
held her daughter in captivity,
and through her forgave him,
his family and his clan.
Later, when this soldier was
killed in the conflict,
she wept
and offered her condolences.
She came to speak regularly
to other parents
of abducted children
and urged forgiveness.
Angelina's activities were
not confined to forgiveness.
She and other parents formed the
"Concerned Parents Association",
which advocated for the girls' release
and began to bring
international attention
to their abduction.
Then Kony himself became worried
about this international publicity
and had one of his minions
approach Angelina
and offer to release her daughter,
if the parents would cease
their international advocacy.
Angelina refused,
saying that she would
only cease the publicity
if the IRA released all of the girls.
Eventually Charlotte was released
after spending 7,5 years in captivity.
Angelina's approach to
violence and injustice
echoed that of a group
of religious leaders,
who amount to one of the
world's greatest examples
of religious leaders
who have exercised
leadershipfor peace and reconciliation,
known as the Acholi Religious Leaders
Peace Initiative, or ARLPI.
These leaders bounded
together in the mid 1990's
to advocate for an end to the war.
Their leader was Catholic
Archbishop John Baptist Odama,
who teamed up with Anglican Bishops
as well as the leading Muslim
sheik in northern Uganda.
The ARLPI was a leading force
behind the Amnesty Act of 2000,
passed by the Uganda Parliament,
a cornerstone in the peace process
that enabled thousands of child soldiers
to leave the IRA and return home.
The ARLPI is a strong opponent of
the ICC indictments,
which, as it says, have only
prevented the IRA leaders
from making peace.
Several of the ARLPI leaders
ventured through the bush
on several occasions
to meet with Kony.
These meetings paved the way
for peace negotiations.
Towards their people these leaders
were tireless advocates
of forgiveness and reconciliation
of the kind that Angelina practiced.

the exposure of
the health violations,
the unsanitary conditions, and
the treatment of the animals
in the meatpacking industry.
And it led to a great public
outcry, which itself kind of
led to some reforms happening,
including the Federal Meat
Inspection Act.
So here, way back in
1906, you have an example
of an undercover investigation
leading to legislative change.
And interestingly, Sinclair
said that, his famous quote
was that, "I aimed at
the public's heart,
and by accident I hit
it in the stomach".
Actually, I think he did both.
He hit them in the
stomach and made
them care about their own--
the stuff that they were
putting in their own bodies,
but they also ended up
caring really deeply
about the animals that were
involved in the process.
Here's a poll from a couple
of years ago by the ASPCA,
saying that 94%
of Americans agree
that animals raised
for food on farms
deserve to be free
from abuse and cruelty.

she still was

proponents of the ag-gag law

the hardcore animal rights
terrorists, it's never

of 9,923 delivered from factories,
it served on every battlefront
in a wide variety of roles
ranging from fighter bombing,
to casualty evacuation,
and smoke laying.
If slightly slower and less
maneuverable than the more
widely used Mustang and Thunderbolt,
the Lighting offered the advantage
of twin-engine operation,
with its additional safety factor added
to an excellent combat range.
The Lighting was particularly interesting
for the number and variety
of its innovations.
Apart from being Lockheed's first venture
into the military field,
the Lightning was the
first squadron fighter
equipped with turboboom
configuration to be adopted by the USAAF,
and the first twin-engine
single-seat fighter used
by that air arm.
By the spring of 1944,
there were 13 P-38 groups
in overseas operational
service with the USAAF,
fighting on every battlefront.
In Europe, serving principally with the
Tactical Ninth Air Force,
the Lightnings operated on
long-range fighter escort
and ground attack duties.
While, in the Pacific,
their exceptional range
put them in the forefront of
the island hopping campaign.
The first bomber escort missions to Berlin
were mounted by Lightnings,
although they were outclassed
by the more maneuverable Fw 190s,
and later, Bf 109s.
In the Pacific, however,
Lightnings claimed more
Japanese aircraft than
did any other fighter.
And the leading American
fighter ace of World War II,
the late Major Richard Bong,
scored all 40 of his victories
while flying a P-38 in that theater.
He was closely followed by
another Lightning pilot, McGuire,
with 38 Japanese victories.

On December 23rd, in Reno,
Nevada, 20-year-old James Vance
and 18-year-old Ray
Belknap shot themselves
in an apparent suicide pact.
Vance's parents lawyered
up and sued Judas Priest,
alleging the boys were
told to shoot themselves
in a subliminal message in
an 8-year-old Priest song,
"Better By You, Better Than Me."
July 1990, when Vance and
Belknap's lawyers finally
got Priest in court, the parents
were asking for $6.2 million
in damages.
Lead singer Rob Halford
said, if he was ever
going to put a subliminal
message in his songs,
it would be to buy more albums.
The judge ultimately decided
that the group was not
responsible.
Turning to true
crime, Dian Fossey,
one of the foremost
primatologists
in the world, best known for her
study of the mountain gorillas,
was found murdered on
December 27th in the bedroom
of her cabin in Rwanda.
Three years later, Fossey's
story would hit the screen.

Finally, on the last
day of the year, which
would end on a somber
note, on his way
to headline a big New
Year's Eve gig in Texas,
Rick Nelson died when his
plane crashed in a pasture,
less than two miles
from a landing strip.
Nelson, his girlfriend,
and his band died.
The two pilots escaped
the burning wreckage
from their cockpit windows.
After a year-long investigation,
the National Transportation
Safety Board concluded that
a definite cause of the crash
was unknown.
Nelson was 45.
1986 was just around

From the outset of North American archaeology, no
federally sponsored concern has researched and
collected evidence specifically emphasizing the
existence of unusually tall Native Americans in
prehistoric, and even in historic times. There are
reasons for this oversight, though in hindsight it has
placed limits on our overview of prehistory.Because
there were only occasional people of large stature
born among the light-skinned, European races, numbers
of giants were far from anticipated in America.
Scientists in Europe, in case-by-case studies,
declared their giants to have been victims of
pituitary disorder. Another reason was that when the
private citizenry in the U.S. unearthed the bones of
very tall and strongly constructed people, and when
these disinterments were recorded, rarely was any
comparison made with sites of similar contents. It was
still a sort of wilderness in many rural areas right
until the middle 1800s. In this, each discovery was

parts of North Carolina.
That movement of people,
movement of slaves,
on this scale had never
happened in the South,
and in the midst of that
movement.
Linda Morgan wrote a fine book
on emancipation in Virginia and
she showed this for the first
time,
that all this movement of hired
out slaves to Richmond--and
other small ironworks,
by the way, over in the
Shenandoah Valley--meant a
certain percentage of them began
to flee,
and escape, further north.
They worked on railroad crews.
It was estimated that in
northern Georgia,
during Sherman's campaign
against Atlanta,
that about forty percent of all
the women working as nurses in
Confederate hospitals all over
the state were slave women.
That means they'd been taken
off their plantations,
their farms,
or out of their domestic
situations,
wherever they were,
and put to work in the
hospitals.
So the point is,
movement of the armies meant
movement of slaves as well,
and that moment of freedom,
that moment of escape,
thatopportunity might come
when you would least expect it.
And that American slave had to
make a choice,
every time--do I go and risk
everything or do I not?
Let me tell one little story
amidst that.
It's the other half of this
book I just did.
This young slave named Wallace
Turnage.
He was born on a little tobacco
farm in North Carolina in 1846,
Green County,
North Carolina,
sold by his indebted owner to a
Richmond, Virginia slave-trader
named Hector Davis,
who was one of the largest
slave-traders in the United
States and kept enormous
records.
He spent about six months in
1860 working in the three-story
slave jail/auction house in
Richmond.
His job every day was preparing
the slaves in what was called
the dressing room,
to take them out to the auction
floor.
And one day he's simply told,
"Boy, you're in the auction."
And he was sold to an Alabama
cotton planter named James
Chalmers.

It's on oceans--
we're going to talk
about life in the very early
oceans here on the planet,
then talk about the
role of the ocean
in driving climate and the
feedbacks between climate
and the ocean, and then
finally, marine life
in the ocean with a particular
emphasis on and New England.
Prior to that, on
October 24th, we
have a talk by Kerry Emanuel who
is a climate researcher at MIT.
And his particular
field of interest
is extreme climate events,
in particular, driven
by rising sea temperatures.
And he is the author
of a paper describing
the emergence of something
called a hypercane, which is
a super hurricane that forms.
So the idea of being
with rising sea
surface temperatures, we'll
have fewer hurricanes,
but the ones we do are
more severe, as a result.
So you may want to
tune in for that.
All of these are
open to the public.

occurred
at a New Jersey university
during a three-year period.
During the first
outbreak in 2016,
MenB-FHbp vaccination
was recommended
for all undergraduates.
In the most recent outbreak
reported in February 2019,
MenB vaccination was
again recommended
to all undergraduates,
and for the first time,
booster vaccination was also
recommended for students
who completed a primary series
at least one year previously.
Thus, college students are the
primary group at increased risk
for serogroup B outbreaks
who may have received
a MenB primary series
as healthy adolescents.
Current MenB vaccination
coverage among adolescents is
low with approximately 15%
of 17-year-olds receiving
at least one dose in 2017,
though coverage has steadily
increased since licensure.
Additionally, several serogroup
B cases have been reported
in patients who received
MenB vaccination.
Of the five reported cases to
date, with any MenB vaccine,
three were fully
vaccinated with MenB-4C,
one was partially
vaccinated with MenB-4C,
and one was partially
vaccinated with MenB-FHbp.
Among those fully
vaccinated with MenB-4C,
two had known underlying
conditions
that may have increased their
risk fora different
color, have been conducted
to assess immunogenicity
and persistence to each
of the four vaccine antigens
shown in the different panels
through seven and a half
years post-primary series.
Persistence following a MenB-4C
primary series was difficult
to generalize due to the
elevated baseline titers
in two studies, heterogenous
results by vaccine antigens,
different time points
assessed in different studies
and more limited
persistence data for NHBA
which contributes most to strain
coverage in the United States.
In light of this, the work
group's interpretation is
that antibodies wane
by two years following
the primary series
in healthy adolescents
and adults,
though they may wane earlier.
In addition, persistence
of MenB primary vaccination
against diverse serogroup
B strains,
including from college
outbreaks, has been assessed
in several observational
studies.
Variable patterns of short-term
persistence were observed
when measured up to 12
months post-vaccination.
In another recent study
to assess seroprevalence
at Princeton University
following the 2013 outbreak,
suboptimal short-term
immunogenicity followed
by substantial antibody waning
to the outbreak strain
was observed
in students vaccinated
with MenB-4C.

regime's
official discourses,
giving voice literally to the
protesting crowds potentiality.
Now, at first it
was widely thought
that the singer of the song had
been one Ibrahim Qashoush who
worked at a fire station
in Hama and supposedly
occasionally performed with
another local, Abdul Rahman
Forhood or, as he was more
popularly known, Rahmani.
And, I should say, Hama, is the
fourth largest city in Syria.
And this is a picture of
what the largest uprising,
actually-- crowds,
in uprising terms--
proportionately, anyway.
On July 4, 2011, Qashoush
reportedly turned up dead,
his corpse left on the riverbank
with its larynx carved out.
Now, many understandably
interpreted the murder
as an act of crude symbolism,
presumed at the time
to be the work of regime
thugs bent on punishing
the subversive singer in the
most graphic way possible.
In these assumptions
people were probably wrong.
First of all the
singer of the song
was likely Rahmani,
not Qashoush.
And Qashoush, far from
being a subversive singer,
may havebeen a
police informant.
Many offered homage to the
departed, if wrongly honored,
Qashoush.
Yet, in likely being
mistaken about who Qashoush
was and the role he played
in the events in question,
many on Facebook
posts and creatives
songs and videos
made after his death
ended up paying tribute to a
possible informant whose body
it may or may not
have been that was
found missing its larynx
by the side of the river.
Moreover, when
Qashoush turned out
to be suspected of
traitorous complicity,
whether responsibility
for the mutilated corpse
lay with regime thugs
became doubtful--
at least to some.
Stories then quickly emerged
about vigilante activists
having executed Qashoush,
or someone else,
for collaboration.
Finally, as if scripted,
sightings of Qashoush surfaced
in 2013 accompanied by articles
and Facebook photos attesting
to his continued
well-being in exile,
culminating in a GQ article--
Gentlemen's Quarterly--
article of 2016.

the godly laity,
and in areas of--some areas
of--the country they were
extremely influential in
influencing the whole tone of
local religious life.
East Anglia was a great area of
Puritan strength.
There were eight of these
prophesying meetings in the
county of Suffolk in the middle
of East Anglia and in the county
of Essex,
just to the south,
there were six of them
operating by the early 1570s.
But after 1570 Puritanism also
began to acquire something of a
political edge.
Specifically,
that came in the form of a
movement to try to formally
alter the structures of the
Church of England and to purge
the prayer book of what they saw
as traditional papist survivals.
Those who became involved in it
were convinced that the New
Testament laid down a clear
model of church government,
that it did not involve
bishops, that it should be based
upon autonomous congregations
who elected their own ministers
and elders,
who wouldin turn meet together
at the higher level in councils
and synods to govern the church
as a whole.
In other words,
a Presbyterian system of church
government.
This is what they desired,
and advocates of such a system
were to mount a series of
challenges to the Elizabethan
settlement between 1570 and
1587.
And there were a number of
landmarks in that process.
In 1570, for example,
the professor of divinity at
the University of Cambridge,
Thomas Cartwright,
gave a series of lectures in
the university in which he
argued that the English church
failed to follow the model of
the New Testament and advocated
a Presbyterian system.
There was a tremendous
controversy in the university as
a result.
Cartwright in fact lost his job.
He was quickly picked up by one
of Elizabeth's favorites,
the Earl of Leicester,
who sympathized with the
Puritans, and placed in a living
elsewhere.
So he survived,
but he lost his position at | {

the
rise during the 1930s,
perhaps solutions could
be found and imposed.
There was little thought that
Aboriginal people themselves
had already found the
only possible answer.
Reading from a typical newspaper
column published just a few
months before the expedition
departed, and I quote,
"half-caste problem, should
they merge with whites?"
That was the subheading.
And, "with official
statistics revealing
a gradual decline of the
Aboriginal population
and an increase of so-called
half-caste Aboriginals,
the Protection Authorities
today" and this
is the quote, "agreed
with one exception
that the half-caste population
must merge with the white.
Queensland delegates disagreed
and made the suggestion
that a native community
should develop
on self-supporting lines with
the aid of a government grant."
So you have this
division, this debate,
which is ongoing in
Australia during the 1930s,
and is going to lead
to a shift in policy.
Along come Tindale and Birdsell,
feeding into this debate.
While they each had their
own private research agenda,
there's little doubt
that the expedition
was sanctioned and supported
inAustralia partly
because their insights were
germane to this so-called
half-caste problem.
Not surprisingly, the
surrounding discourse
was replete with
racial epithets,
half-caste, quadroon,
octoroon, and both Tindale
and Birdsell's journals
are full of these epithets.
Birdsell's much
more so because it
was the currency of his
scientific work at the time.
They were terms of art,
necessary, in his view--
although he didn't use them much
after the Second World War--
for understanding the basis
of the so-called problem.
Before the advent of DNA, he was
employing the full repertoire
of racial science to determine
which particular trace had made
their way from Europeans
to the mixed heritage
descendants of what he
called the first cross,
the initial cross.
His principal
task, in a way, was
to determine whether this
mixing would result necessarily
in any form of degeneration.
Seems extraordinary
to us today, but it
was the nature of the discourse.
It's clear enough
that the answer was
no, and that both Tindale
and Birdsell saw reason

a
familiar sight to people
living on Britain's east
coast during the early years
of the war.
The Whitley was the mainstay
of the RAF bomber force
for the first two years in which the seeds
of strategic night
bombing were being sewn.
Although one of the least
appealing bombers of the war,
the Whitley did represent
an important landmark
in the history of the
RAF's offensive capability.
Few, if any bombers of
the second World War,
enjoyed a longer or more
distinguished operational
career than the Vicker's Wellington.
Bloodied in combat at the
very outset of hostilities,
it carried the lion's share
of RAF bomber commands,
night bombing offensive
until the operational debut
of the four engine heavies
and it was still in
the front line when the war ended.
(dramatic music)
Indeed, such was the
brilliant battle record
of the Wellington that any tribute can be
but a pale reflection of the distinctions
that this remarkable war
plane won for itself.
The Wellington'sdocility
combined with a lively
performance and the ability
to absorb an outstanding
amount of battle damage,
rapidly endeared it
to its crews and its
portly well fed appearance
engendered the nickname
Wimpy, after the strip
cartoon character.
(dramatic music)
More than any other bomber,
the Wellington proved
a power operated gun
carry to be a formidable
defensive weapon, but it
disproved the widely held
belief that large bombers could undertake
daylight bombing rates against
heavily defended targets
without fighter escort.
(dramatic music)
Like most successful combat aircraft,
the Wellington was a result of teamwork,
but it undoubtedly owed its success
to the revolutionary geodetic
or basket weave system
of construction.
This was an ingenious idea by Boms Wallace
and even more remarkable because of its
essential simplicity.
Before the end of 1939, the
Wellington was to achieve
one doubtful distinction.
It was to teach the RAF the hard lesson
that the operation of such
large aircraft by daylight
without fighter escort was impractical.
This lesson was | {

brilliant
political strategist and a lot
of people during his lifetime
and after praised his good
judgment.
He had--That's always the word
they used: He had good judgment.
He was someone who could survey
the opinions of lots of people,
ask all of his advisers for
advice.
They often, more often than
not, had conflicting advice.
He would take it under
advisement.
He'd consider things for
himself.
He'd come to a conclusion and
he'd act on it in a way that
everyone always thought was
calm, considered,
thoughtful.
He was someone who had good
judgment and didn't act
impulsively.
So one reason for the
phenomenon of Washington,
as I'll talk about in a moment
here,
has to do with his
self-presentation and concrete
skills in presenting himself as
a leader.
The second way in which he
earned his reputation has to do
really with the simple fact that
he's the right person with the
right talents,
at the right place,
at the right time.
for your
country and you get to be
famous.
They both happen sort of at the
same time, so it's sort of
selfless and self-interested at
the same time.
So Washington also,
like many people in this era,
is the right person with the
right talents at the right time,
but he has very specific
talents that are really well
suited to this moment in time.
And then finally,
the third reason for the
Washington phenomenon is kind of
a combination of the previous
two,
and that's basically the idea
that during the prime years of
Washington's life,
Americans lost a king and
needed some other figure of
central importance to fill this
vacuum of national leadership,
some other leader who they
could honor as sort of the
symbolic core of their new
nation.
And Washington,
because of who he was,
because of who he presented
himself as being,
because of what he did,
because of the ways in which he

to wide ranging
new materials excavated
from primary sources.
Over the past four or five
years, Therese O'Malley
and her team
have been transforming
this printed volume
into an expanded
and expanding database that will
reside on the Gallery's server,
providing connections
to over 2,000 images
and making it
possible
for
comparative cross-referencing
for researchers, students,
and designers alike.
Images and texts come
from dozens of repositories,
including our own collections.
And this is just one
wonderful comparison
of the documentation of Mount
Vernon, which is included
in the website on the left
and the image of Mount Vernon
here at the National Gallery.
And it also brings to mind
new ways of thinking
about paintings in the Gallery's
collection.
This will all
be accessible to the public
through HEALDD, which
is the History of the Early
American Landscape Design
Database, very soon, later,
I think, this year.
Associate Dean Peter Lukehart
began his work on artist
academies long ago, editing
the volume on "The Artist's
Workshop" in 1993 for CASVA.
When Peterreturned
to the Gallery to supervise
the fellowship program,
after several years directing
the Trout Art Gallery
at Dickinson College,
he picked up his project
on the Accademia di San Luca,
the academy for artists that was
founded in Rome in 1593.
The academy aimed to make
the difficult apprenticeship
suffered by Taddeo Zuccaro--
and here you see him
in various spots in Rome,
unsupervised, desperately trying
to copy great works of art
sometimes even by moonlight.
They hoped to make
this difficult apprenticeship
as illustrated by his brother
Federico less haphazard.
In the first instance
Peter Lukehart organized
a series of seminars
to investigate the early history
of the academy, and these were
published as "The Accademia
Seminars" in 2009.
He has been a pioneer
in digital art history,
constructing a database
over the past two decades,
putting newly discovered
documents online,
and in the end,
linking the names of artists,
dates, and places to works
of art in the Gallery's
collection and to works

later to receive in the West.
Despite some crudity of
construction and equipment,
by Western standards
appertaining at the time,
it was a rugged and extremely
maneuverable fighter,
appreciably faster than
any true contemporary,
easily maintained in the field,
and offering some armor
protection for its pilot,
at a time when such luxuries
were not generally considered
to be necessary.
Its designer never succeeded in overcoming
the poor takeoff and
landing characteristics
that had plagued it from its birth.
Yet, once its undercarriage was tucked up,
it handled pleasantly enough.
And there is no doubt that it
taught the Soviet air forces
and aircraft industry much
that was eventually used
to good effect in the later fighters.
The I-16 was the precursor of
a new style in fighter design,
a style favored until the
advent of the turbojet,
and as such, it possesses a unique place
in the history of fighter development.
(airplane drones)
Italy had two first-generation
fighters in the war,
theFiat G.50 being one of them.
This aircraft was slower than
most of the fighters it faced
in combat, but in the hands
of experienced pilots,
gave a good show of itself.
Most early World War II
Italian fighter pilots
rejected the use of enclosed cockpits
in favor of the topless
canopy with side windows,
considering the use of the former to be
unsporting and unmanly.
Though smaller in size than
most of its contemporaries,
and despite its lack of power,
the Fiat G.50 was reckoned by most to be
a dream to fly and a joy to maneuver.
(airplane buzzes)
The development of the
Macchi Castoldi fighter,
the second of Italy's
first-generation fighters,
presents an interesting parallel
with that of the Supermarine Spitfire.
Neither of these fighters
was the logical outcome
of a line of fighting aircraft,
both designers drawing
heavily upon high-speed
design experience gained
with racing seaplanes.

be the
best single-seat fighter
of any nation to emerge
from that conflict.
Despite its formidable quality, however,
and the fact that it
was expressly designed
for shipboard operations,
the Corsair spent most
of its wartime career
confined to land bases.
And it was not until the end
of 1944 that it made its first
operational sorties from
American carriers in the Pacific.
(airplanes roar)
But the same problems which kept it
from the United States Navy's
carrier decks for two years
after its introduction
to operational service
provided it with the opportunity
to prove its superiority.
Operating from airstrips on Guadalcanal
in the Solomon Islands,
the United States Marines
forged the Corsair into
an air supremacy weapon,
meeting the Japanese
navy's Zero Zen fighters
on more than equal terms the first time
in the Pacific conflict,
smashing them into the sea
and the jungle alike, and
helping turning the tide
of air combat permanently in
favor of the Allied forces.
(airplane rumbles)
A total of1,912 F4Us
had been built by V-J Day,
which reduced contracts of
this version of the Corsair
from 3,149
to 2,356 machines.
But another 7 1/2 years were to elapse
before the last example
of this outstanding
chance-bought fighter was to roll off
the new Dallas production line.
(airplane rumbles)
The Corsair was to enjoy a
distinguished postwar career,
the highlight of which
was the Korean campaign,
its first line of service
stretching into the '60s.
(airplanes rumble)
During its long life,
the Corsair underwent
981 major modifications
and some 20,000 minor changes.
But the airframe remained
basically unaltered throughout,
and such were its qualities
that it was destined to gain
the distinction of being the
last airscrew-driven fighter
built in the United States,
having outlived all its contemporaries,
both land and carrier-based.
(airplanes roar)
When, in January 1943, the
USAAF's 56th Fighter Group
arrived in the United
Kingdom, with its massive
Republic P-47 Thunderbolts,

from his knowledge
of Jungian analysis.
The surrealist interest
in the unconscious
attracted him as well.
And he was certainly
familiar with their embrace
of automatism or yielding
control of the making process
to let the unconscious
mind hold sway.
So it wasn't like Pollock's drip
paintings came out of nowhere.
Others were doing it too.
Arshile Gorky dripped in 1944.
Hans Hoffman did
around the same time.
And Pollock was trying it
out in his paintings as well.
But his first big
break came in 1942
with this kind of work,
which was selected for a show
at Peggy Guggenheim's
gallery, Art of this Century,
having been judged by the
likes of Piet Mondrian who,
having fled Europe
during World War II,
claimed this was the most
interesting work he'd
seen in America so far.
Pollock's first solo show
garnered much attention.
His pictures
described as archaic,
tribal, and of elemental power.
Curator James Johnson
Sweeney described his talent
as volcanic.
It has fire.
It is unpredictable.
It isundisciplined.
What we need is more young men
who paint from inner impulsion.
Guggenheim also
commissioned this new talent
to create a mural for
her New York townhouse.
And he produced an epic
19-foot long canvas
that cemented his
rising star status
and gave a glimpse
of the rhythmic forms
and loose brushwork
that would follow.
Pollock's other 1942 break was
meeting painter Lee Krasner.
They married in '45 and moved
out to Long Island near East
Hampton where they
set up studios--
hers in the house
and his in the barn.
Pollock continued to
begin his paintings
with totemic and
mythological subjects
but painted over
them with layers
so thick that the original forms
were mostly indistinguishable.
By '47, Pollock was spreading
his canvases on the floor.
Sometimes his initial
layer involved brushwork,
but successive layers
were built up with poured,
dripped, and scattered paint,
artist oils, enamel house
paint, and aluminum
radiator paint.
He used sticks, trowels,
and palette knives.
Sometimes string, sand,
or nails entered the mix.

Burns Suppers have been part of
Scottish culture for about 200 years as
a means of commemorating the birth of
Robert Burns.
Burns Suppers range from ostentatiously
formal gatherings of aesthetes and
scholars to uproariously informal raveups of drunkards and louts. Most Burns
Suppers fall in the middle of this range,
and adhere, more or less, to some sort
of time honoured form which includes
the eating of a traditional Scottish meal,
the drinking of Scotch whisky, and the
recitation of works by, about, and in the
spirit of the Bard!
And when Burns immortalised haggis
in verse he created a central link that is
maintained to this day.

on 25 January 1759. His father William was a
