EDT THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Speaker, Mr. President Pro Tempore, members of Congress, and fellow Americans: In the normal course of events, Presidents come to this chamber to report on the state of the Union. Tonight, no such report is needed. It has already been delivered by the American people. We have seen it in the courage of passengers, who rushed terrorists to save others on the ground passengers like an exceptional man named Todd Beamer. And would you please help me to welcome his wife, Lisa Beamer, here tonight. (Applause.) We have seen the state of our Union in the endurance of rescuers, working past exhaustion. We have seen the unfurling of flags, the lighting of candles, the giving of blood, the saying of prayers in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. We have seen the decency of a loving and giving people who have made the grief of strangers their own.

French revolutionaries ended the Old Regime and imagined they could lead the world by example. The ability to demonstrate the benefits and blessings of freedom civil liberties and laisser-faire economics became an illusion. Religious zealots (militant, traditional Catholics) regarded republican policies and practices as blasphemous and heretical. They responded to the new secular state with civil disobedience that quickly turned to violent opposition. Simultaneously, the defenders of royalism formed a coalition to restore the traditional power. Both international war and civil war developed and grew. Robespierre, before taking leadership of the group that carried executive power, warned that international warfare would subvert the exercise of fundamental freedoms of the press, speech and assembly. His arguments proved to be true. His worst fears were realized and, ironically, he became an agent who played a key part in fulfilling his own prophecy. The domestic response to the civil war included a Law of Suspects. Details of this legislation are strikingly similar to the Patriot Act. In the name of defense of the doctrines of rights and responsibilities, the French government and people launched what we now call the Reign of Terror. Fear of dissenters turned neighbor against neighbor. Due process and civil liberties disappeared in the shadows of the call to patriotism and the defense of republican principles and La Nation. ...

Extractions: (Editor's Note: Joseph Miller's oral presentation appears here; for a much longer, slightly differently focused text with full documentation see Miller, Joseph C., "Presidential Address: History and Africa/Africa and History," The American Historical Review (v. 104, no. 1, February 1999), p. 1-32.) IT IS MY PRIVILEGE THIS EVENING to address my historian colleagues as an Africanist about what studying Africa has taught me about history. Africa, as you will recall, was the continent that Hegel and the late-nineteenth-century founders of our discipline excluded from the moral, scientific, progressive methodology they defined as a place inhabited by "people without history". Africa, for them, was a place as remote as they could imagine affectively, culturally, geographically ... far beyond being out of reach intellectually. For them, it was as distant as their sort of history was for the succeeding generations of students in France's colonies in Africa, who began history lessons taught in the colonial style their by reciting "Our ancestors, the Gauls ... ". In my capacity as your president, I am proud to follow Philip D. Curtin as an Africanist. But Professor Curtin, in his 1983 address, spoke about Africa only incidentally, devoting himself instead to themes of comparative and world history. The years intervening since he spoke have brought Africa solidly within the practice of our profession. It is possible now to reflect on Africa's former exclusion from universal history and to chart some of the intellectual pathways along which he and the founding generation of Africanist scholars all around the world not least in Africa, and prominently including Jan Vansina, my other inspiration as a historian at the University of Wisconsin, as well as in other fields of African studies how they created a history of people who had had none.

North American History - The Beginning
A Brief history of North american The Beginning. Manager of General Aviation, leaving a career as vice president of engineering at Douglas Aircraft.
http://www.boeing.com/history/bna/

Extractions: North American Aviation logo We started with an obvious disadvantage.... It couldnt have been much worse. Dutch Kindelberger, 1934 During the prosperous, whirling 1920s, aviation was in its childhood. Companies dedicated to airplane manufacturing, engines, propellers, passenger flight and support industries sprouted across the country. On Dec. 6, 1928, North American Aviation was incorporated in Delaware to become a holding company for many of these new ventures. In March 1930, it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. North American Aviation, Inc., had interests in a number of leading airlines and aircraft manufacturing companies including the General Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, located at the Curtis-Caproni plant at Dundalk, Md. As part of the "New Deal" legislation during the Depression, the Air Mail Act of 1934 prevented an organization or its members engaged in any part of the aircraft industry from holding an airmail contract after Dec. 31, 1934. Therefore, North Americans airline interests were separated from its airplane-building concerns, and 39-year-old James Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger became President and General Manager of General Aviation, leaving a career as vice president of engineering at Douglas Aircraft.

http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Societies/AMS.html

Extractions: The American Mathematical Society started its existence as the New York Mathematical Society which was founded in 1888. The history of that Society, prior to becoming the American Mathematical Society, is related in the article on the New York Mathematical Society A major motivation for the New York Mathematical Society to become a national mathematical society came about through the International Mathematical Congress held in Chicago in August 1893 in conjunction with the World's Columbian Exposition. The main international speaker was Klein who delivered the Evanston Colloquium lectures over a period of six days. After this Klein toured the United States and visited the New York Mathematical Society where J E McClintock , the President of the Society, introduced him as an:- ... apostle, prophet, evangelist, and teacher of mathematics - excelling in each office ... Klein lectured to the New York Mathematical Society and engaged in an open discussion session. Now Eliakim Moore was the chairman of the organising committee for the International Mathematical Congress which had been held in Chicago and the committee had received 39 papers for publication in a Conference Proceedings. After unsuccessfully attempting to find financial backing for the publication, he approached the New York Mathematical Society and, by June 1894, they had guaranteed up to $1000 to have Macmillan and Co publish the Proceedings.

Extractions: U.S. PRESIDENCY AND TELEVISION Ten dates, some momentous, some merely curious, tell the story of presidential television. In its own way, each date sheds light on the complex relationship between the U.S. presidency and the American television industry. Over the years, that relationship has grown complex and tempestuous (virtually every president from Harry Truman through Bill Clinton has left office disaffected with the nation's press). More than anything else, however, this relationship has been symbioticthe president and the press now depend upon one another for sustenance. Ten dates explain why: September 23, 1952 Richard Nixon's "Checkers" Speech January 19, 1955 Dwight Eisenhower's Press Conference January 25, 1961 John Kennedy's Press Conference February 27, 1968 Walter Cronkite's Evaluation of the Vietnam War November 25, 1968 - Inauguration of the White House's Office of Communication

Extractions: By JAY BOOKMAN 29 September 2002. Follow links for greater depth. The official story on Iraq has never made sense. The connection that the Bush administration has tried to draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed contrived and artificial. In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the Bush administration would start a major war based on such flimsy evidence. The pieces just didn't fit. Something else had to be going on; something was missing. In recent days, those missing pieces have finally begun to fall into place. As it turns out, this is not really about Iraq. It is not about weapons of mass destruction, or terrorism, or Saddam, or U.N. resolutions.

This is a young and growing university, but it has already fulfilled Bishop Hurst's enlightened hope for the study of history and public affairs in a city devoted to the making of history and the conduct of the public's business. By sponsoring this institution of higher learning for all who wish to learn, whatever their color or their creed, the Methodists of this area and the Nation deserve the Nation's thanks, and I commend all those who are today graduating. Professor Woodrow Wilson once said that every man sent out from a university should be a man of his nation as well as a man of his time, and I am confident that the men and women who carry the honor of graduating from this institution will continue to give from their lives, from their talents, a high measure of public service and public support.

That conflict has already taken a heavy toll-in lives lost, in wounds inflicted, in property destroyed, and in simple human misery. If we fail to find a just and peaceful solution, history will judge us harshly. Therefore, I believe that we both have a heavy obligation to seek earnestly the path to peace. It is in response to that obligation that I am writing directly to you. We have tried over the past several years, in a variety of ways and through a number of channels, to convey to you and your colleagues our desire to achieve a peaceful settlement. For whatever reasons, these efforts have not achieved any results. . . . In the past two weeks, I have noted public statements by representatives of your government suggesting that you would be prepared to enter into direct bilateral talks with representatives of the U.S. Government, provided that we ceased "unconditionally" and permanently our bombing operations against your country and all military actions against it. In the last day, serious and responsible parties have assured us indirectly that this is in fact your proposal.
