E .J. Dionne Nostalgia for the 1950s looms large in American politics, crossing partisan and philosophical lines. The Right yearns for the stability, order, and authority ascribed to that decade. The Left recalls the period as a time of equitably distributed economic growth, strong labor unions, and some semblance of loyalty between employer and employee. So how could the stability of the 1950s give way to the uproar of the 1960s? Because the ’50s were not nearly as stable as they looked. The ’60s could be seen as the working out (not always successfully) of the many tensions the 1950s embodied: in family life, on racial matters, in politics, and in the culture. In Women and the Common Life , Christopher Lasch flatly declares that the family "where the husband goes out to work and the wife stays home...was a mid-twentieth-century innovation." Previously, less affluent women had always had to work, and more affluent women played active, if often unpaid, public roles. Betty Friedan’s powerful feminist polemic, The Feminine Mystique (1963), could be seen as a rational response to "the plight of suburban women" cut off from involvement in the public sphere. Something had to give in the organization of women’s roles, and the result was the rise of feminism. The country’s huge commitment in the ’50s to the education of both men and women also fed feminism. It was absurd to pretend that large numbers of educated women would choose to remain disengaged from public life.

Berkeley, A City in History
by Charles Wollenberg
Chapter 7
WORLD WAR II WATERSHED
Exodus
The war produced what, at least until now, was the last major population increase in the city's history. After experiencing virtually no growth in the 1930s, Berkeley's population grew by nearly 40 percent during the 1940s, from about 85,000 to 115,000. In the immediate aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, however, thousands of people left the city, particularly young men and women departing to join the armed forces. And an additional 1400 or so people of Japanese descent, including Yoshiko Uchida and her family, left involuntarily to take up residence in government internment camps. President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, issued in February, 1942, authorized the military to relocate and intern all people of Japanese descent living in California, Oregon, Washington and a part of Arizona. The sole criterion for internment was ethnicity, not nationality, the relocation applying equally to Japanese-born immigrants and California-born American citizens of Japanese descent. At the end of April, 1942, the Uchidas and other Berkeley internees were relocated to Tanforan Race Track in San Mateo County where they were assigned "apartments" that formerly had been horse stalls. After about three months at Tanforan, most of the Berkeley internees were transported to a camp at Topaz, Utah, where many remained until the end of the war.
Military Establishment
While Japanese Americans were coping with internment, Berkeley was filling up with new residents. Some were armed forces personnel stationed at various military installations located around San Francisco Bay. In Berkeley the army established Camp Ashby, headquarters for a segregated unit of African American military policemen located near the west end of Ashby Avenue. The Navy built the Savo Island housing project for married personnel in South Berkeley. Both services established officers training programs at UC. The army took over the Bowles Hall dormitory and kept its personnel largely separate from the rest of the students. The navy, on the other hand, largely integrated its trainees into the general student body, allowing them to play on university athletic teams and even participate in student government. The navy program took over the International House and several fraternities to house its trainees. By 1944, more than 1000 navy personnel were studying at Cal.

http://voteworld.berkeley.edu/animate/intro.html
An Introduction to ANIMATE When you look at ANIMATE you see a large number of letter tokens that are in motion. The horizontal dimension has a stable interpretation throughout American history. It is economic left-right. Liberals are on the left and conservatives on the right. Briefly, during the Civil War period, there is a spatial realignment and the dimension represents the conflict over slavery. The vertical dimension is always far less important than the horizontal dimension, even if legislators are dispersed on that dimension. When the dimension is most important, in the 1830s and 1840s and 1940s, 50s, and 60s, it represents conflict on race, with anti-black being at the top. From the 1870s through the 1930s the second dimension represents conflict on rural-urban lines, with agrarian, rural legislators appearing at the top. We have provided labels as guides to the axes or, synonymously, dimensions. But it should be recalled that the axes are abstractions that represent the output of a scaling algorithm that is blind to the political party membership of the legislator and to the content of the roll calls being voted on. Ideology is measured by the DW-NOMINATE scaling procedure of Keith T. Poole and Howard Rosenthal. In the contemporary period, we commonly classify legislators as liberals and conservatives in part because their roll call voting behavior in Congress is very predictable. On one roll call, the liberal side might be supported by Barbara Boxer and all the senators to her left; on another Diane Feinstein and all the senators to her left, including Boxer; on still another by Arlen Specter and all the senators to his left, including Feinstein and Boxer; on still another by Orrin Hatch and all the senators to his left, including Feinstein, Boxer, and Specter. DW-NOMINATE simply provides a quantitative basis for this type of observation and allows us to make similar observations for earlier periods of history.

18. About Donna Allen

http://www.wifp.org/honey.html
Donna Allen, Crusader for a Democratic Communications System
by Michael Honey, Ph.D. Michael Honey teaches labor, ethnic, gender and African-American studies and U.S. history at the University of Washington Tacoma, and is an Associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press.] Dr. Donna Allen, born in Petosky, Michigan on August 19, 1920, passed away on July 19, 1999. She was a pioneer feminist, a civil liberties, civil rights and peace activist, a historian, and a writer and editor who in her later years took up an innovative campaign to organize women to create a more democratic communications system. In 1972, Dr. Allen founded the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press, which still continues today under the directorship of her daughter Dr. Martha Leslie Allen , in Washington, D.C. From 1972 to 1987, the elder Allen edited the Media Report to Women , while Martha Allen edited the annual Directory of Women's Media (1974 to 1989). Together, these two publications reported on the ways that women were creating their own media or making inroads into the commercial media. Dr. Allen constantly wrote articles and pamphlets and gave speeches, not only across the U.S. but in other parts of the world, on the need to restructure mass media on the principle that everyone should have an equal voice. Working long hours and without salary, she housed the Women's Institute in her home and she and Martha raised much of their own income by typesetting. Dr. Allen insisted that equal access to one's fellow citizens provides the first principle for a democracy. Through her own experiences as an activist and educator during the 1940s, 50s and 60s, she discovered how the mass media trivialized, ignored, distorted and otherwise misinformed the public about crucial issues such as national health insurance, labor rights, and racism, sexism, and war. She documented the ways money and white men typically rule the airwaves and dominate production and dissemination of the printed word in the commercial mass media. She dedicated the latter part of her life to restructuring mass communications so that the media is no longer controlled by a wealthy few.

The Once and Future Supreme Court The last four decades have witnessed a fundamental transformation in the types of men, and now women, who exercise the broad and untrammeled judicial power of the U.S. Supreme Court. By David J. Garrow This past October the United States Supreme Court began its 2004-05 term with the same nine justices who have served together since 1994. Going 10 years without any change in court membership has not previously occurred since the early 1820s. But now the increasing age of the justices alone Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist has just turned 80 and is in failing health, and senior Associate Justice John Paul Stevens is 84 virtually ensures that the president will be able to nominate at least two new justices during the four-year term that commences on January 20, 2005.
