Extractions: The address President Johnson delivered on AprIl 7, 1965 at Johns Hopkins University is important for two reasons. On the one hand, the President has shown for the first time a way out of the impasse in which we find ourselves in Vietnam. By agreeing to negotiations without preconditions he has opened the door to negotiations which those preconditions had made impossible from the outset. On the other hand, the President reiterated the intellectual assumptions and policy proposals which brought us to an impasse and which make it impossible to extricate ourselves. The President has linked our involvement in Vietnam with our war of independence and has proclaimed the freedom of all nations as the goal of our foreign policy. He has started from the assumption that there are two Vietnamese nations, one of which has attacked the other, and he sees that attack as an integral part of unlimited Chinese aggression. Consistent with this assumption, the President is willing to negotiate with China and North Vietnam but not with the Viet Cong. We are militarily engaged in Vietnam by virtue of a basic principle of our foreign policy that was implicit in the Truman Doctrine of 1947 and was put into practice by John Foster Dulies from 1954 onward. This principle is the military containment of Communism. Containment had its origins in Europe; Dulles applied it to the Middle East and Asia through a series of bilateral and multilateral alliances. Yet what was an outstanding success In Europe turned out to be a dismal failure elsewhere. The reasons for that failure are twofold.
Extractions: Treks in areas of breathtaking beauty in northern Vietnam are an old specialty of Our Tours. We have expanded this program to include treks in the Central Highlands. These trips through hilltribe villages (sometimes with no electricity or running water) include homestays with the hilltribes. On some of the treks, the terrain can be rough and one has to be reasonably fit for the longer treks. GO!

Charged with arms smuggling and colluding with Khmer Rouge rebels, he was tried, in absentia, in 1998 and found guilty, but was later pardoned by his father, Prince Sihanouk. During World War II Cambodia was occupied by Japan. France regained control of the country in 1946, but it achieved semi-autonomy within the French Union in 1949 and full independence in 1953. Prince Norodom Sihanouk , who had been elected king in 1941, abdicated in favour of his parents and became prime minister as leader of the Popular Socialist Community in 1955. When his father died in 1960, he became head of state.

It is not primarily a course about America's war in Vietnam except as that war affected the Vietnamese people. The focus will be on the Vietnamese themselves: their origins, their ancient civilization, their religions, their relations with their neighbors, especially China and the other Indochinese peoples, their conquest by the Chinese, French, and Japanese, and the victory of the Communists over America and the South Vietnamese. We will discuss what this victory has brought in the way of economic, political, and social changes. We will consider gender roles, differences between rural and urban life, minorities, and Vietnam's relations with the other countries of Indochina, the Pacific Rim, and the world. We will conclude by examining Vietnam today, it relationship with the overseas Vietnamese communities, and with America.

Ancient Civilizations Built Along Rivers We couldn t believe how advanced the ancient Egyptian civilization and technologywas the In August we plan to explore Laos, vietnam, and Cambodia. http://www.shieldsaroundtheworld.com/ancient.html
Extractions: Search WWW August 7, 2000: During the last month, we travelled through 5000 years of history. The journey began in Jerusalem, a tense city at the crossroads of 3 major religions. The emotions apparent in the streets inspired us to learn more about history and religion, setting the tone for the month. In the Middle East we learned about Christianity, Judaism, and Islam from guides, citizens, monks, whomever we could talk to or whatever we could read. Petra, in Jordan, blew us away with the carved sandstone tombs. We didn't expect the vivid blues, greens, yellows, whites, and reds swirled together in the living rock, forming natural decorations in the carvings. Petra exceeded our highest expectations, and one full day was not enough. The Red Sea beckoned. We jumped in for some fantastic diving with colorful coral and lionfish. Then we returned to discovery of ancient cultures with a cruise up the Nile. We couldn't believe how advanced the ancient Egyptian civilization and technology was - the temples and tombs that dot the banks of the Nile show fantastic sophistication. We floated along, observed 'modern' Nile living while we learned about the polytheistic culture that thrived starting in the 21st century BCE. We celebrated 9 months of marriage in Cairo, visiting the Great Sphinx. Then we travelled to China with a switch to Emperors and Buddhism. While the Forbidden City and Lama Temple were enjoyable, the scenery surrounding the Great Wall really made an impression on us. China possesses some beautiful countryside. The next four days we cruised along the Yangtze River to see the gorges that will be flooded after the completion of the world's largest dam.

Mountains or high plateaux isolated the province from the outside world, while a large network of rivers did allow for communication and trade with other parts of China.

Extractions: What really happened By Keri Anderson Accurate knowledge of history is one of the hallmarks of a free society. TV networks are dedicated to it. Movies bring it vividly to life. Books tell its stories. All you have to do is flip the channel or glance at the bestseller list, and youll come across evidence of the popularity of historys mysteries. Hitler and the Holocaust. America in Vietnam. The Civil War. We are fascinated with finding out what really happened. But how do we know that what we see on TV or read in a book is true? Who does the research? Writes the books? Appears as the experts in documentaries? Theyre a lot closer than you may think. Just turn your eyes to Clemson. Clemsons history faculty members are showing up in prime time. Discovery Health Channel recently interviewed Donald McKale, Clemsons Class of 41 Memorial Professor of the Humanities, for an hour-long documentary on Hitlers health and death. The History Channel interviewed Steven Marks and Roger Grant for their expertise on railroads. Paul Andersons book on Civil War cavalry leader Turner Ashby is a History Book Club selection. And Edwin Moises landmark book on the Gulf of Tonkin and the escalation of the Vietnam War has been optioned for movie rights. Like the rest of the University, the history faculty is dedicated to teaching, research and service to the community. Thomas Kuehn, chair of the history and geography department, says that the main way the departments work fits the Universitys goal of becoming a top-20 public university is in fostering Clemsons academic reputation with strong work by strong faculty.
