Extractions: Course Introduction Required Readings Schedule of Classes Course Requirements Course Introduction In this class, students examine the era of history known as "The Gilded Age." This was a time of unparalleled economic expansion that profoundly altered political and social arrangements by the late nineteenth century. After the Civil War (1861-65) America completed a transportation and communications network, which in turn facilitated the tremendous growth of the industrial sector. Thus, identifying and understanding the causes of "industrialization," are a major focus of the reading and lectures in 147B. Additionally, the consequences are explored as well. Students will be required to analyze the impact of economic change on politics, society, and cultural practices, with special attention to the rise of protest movements against the emerging industrial capitalist system.

Extractions: Your Government is For Sale! My party's in power, and it's going to undertake a lot of public improvement. Well, I'm tipped off, say, that they are going to lay out a new park at a certain place. I see my opportunity and I take it. I go to that place and buy up all the land I can in the neighborhood. Then the board for this or that makes its plan public, and there is a rush to get my land, which nobody cared particular for before. Ain't it perfectly honest to charge a good price and make a profit on my investment and foresight? Of course, it is. Well, that's honest graft. George Washington Plunkitt

Extractions: What misguided journalistic convention compels op-ed editors to drain the ©lan vital from copy? Oh, a few well-known columnists run the blockade to blend blood with ink and animate newspaperdom's opinion pages: the pun-drunk warmonger William Safire ; the shiv-wielding Michael Kelly ; that Shecky Greene of the policy debate, Michael Kinsley ; desperate entertainer Maureen Dowd ; and a handful of others. But most op-ed pages prefer pieces painted with gray and dead words, if only to signal the seriousness of their page. Some writers require no such prodding and actually prefer the color of ash. The high exemplar of this form is syndicated columnist William Pfaff , whose last name conveniently works as a verb to describe the act of lifeless writing. Listen to this recent pfaffing The NATO debate has included warnings disconnected from real threats and policy proposals irrelevant to their solution. America wants help in carrying out a policy fatefully influenced by the notion that conquering Iraq will permit Washington and Israel to take control of the Islamic Middle East and its peoplesâand that this will have a happy ending.

Extractions: 59 page interview, 3 tapes Gerald J. Oppenheimer was Director of the University of Washington, chairing the Committee on the Status of Librarians and working with Budget, Serials, and Collection Development Committees and with the Management Review and Analysis Program. He was very active in MLA and served on the Board and Executive Committee from 1974 to 1977. He was the founding president of the Association of Academic Health Sciences Library Directors (AAHSLD) and had a long involvement with the National Library of Medicine. Born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Oppenheimer was 11 years old when Hitler came to power. At the age of 16, he "was required to act independently and to make decisions. That, I think, set the one for building some self-confidence." He says of his background, "I thinkit has something to do with how I turned out eventually." His first job out of library school was at Seattle Public Library where he says he learned from "the head of the department, Edith Fryto deal with the foibles of the staff." His next position was at the Fisheries/Oceanography Library at the University of Washington where he organized the huge collection of reprints and report literature. In 1960 he took over the library of the Boeing Scientific Research Laboratories (BSRL). The experience was valuable and he learned about "getting results while working with many levels of bureaucracy."

Extractions: Volume 11, Issue 10. March 27, 2000 - April 10, 2000. Dirty Windows Robert Kuttner E very great political theorist from Aristotle to Madison to Martin Luther King, Jr., has understood the paradox that liberty requires rules and rules require governments. But Internet libertarians have assumed that the Net is a unique realm of benign, self-regulating anarchy. The problem with anarchy is less the inconvenience of chaos than the risk that someone will soon attempt to bring order, at the expense of someone else's liberty. A second threat is the consolidation now occurring among cable companies, phone companies, and other Internet service providers. In their infancy, these access paths functioned as true common carriers, with no commercial stake in which destinations users chose. Now, however, the emerging model is one that packages the common carrier and the preferred destinations of its business partners. One antidote to Microsoft's monopoly is the open-source movement, discussed in this special double issue of The American Prospect . Open-source software, unlike Microsoft Windows, gives competing programmers access to its code and requires that information to remain public so that the best refinements can win in the marketplace in a fair fight. But for the open-source movement to realize its promise, the structure of public rules needs to favor openness. Antitrust enforcement needs to rein in Microsoft. And other public policies need to make sure that those companies who connect users to Web sites continue to function like true common carriers. There are also security, privacy, and intellectual property concerns unlikely to be resolved by market forces without balkanizing the Net.

Extractions: The Oldest Connection by Gil Troy Wilson Quarterly Summer 1997-Feature Article Newspaper and Journal Articles-Written Newspaper and Journal Articles-Quoted Main Mr. and Mrs.President ... See How They Ran The story of the president prostituting himself and his office to secure re-election seems all too familiar. During the campaign, reports came from all over the country that his men "were paying out money like water" to bring about the desired result. "All has been done that can be done here," a crony in New York assured the chief executive shortly before the election. "Every Wardhere [in Manhattan] and in Brooklynand every Election District, is abundantly supplied with 'material aid.'" To justify their efforts, the president and his men denounced their rivals' "aristocratic party," filled with "millionaires." In the United States of Americaand everywhere elsepolitics is about power, and money is a form of power. Despite the best efforts of reformers, past, present, and future, it is impossible to remove all influence of money in politics. Running for elected office costs money, and it must be raised somehow. And as former senator Russell Long (Huey's son) once observed, "The distinction between a large campaign contribution and a bribe is almost a hairline's difference."

The basic themes will contrast the domestic agenda of Americas people with the nations growing international commitments and changing place among nations. For the early 20th century, we will examine immigration, the ethnic and racial diversity of the American people and the concomitant internal migrations in response to industrialization that led to conflicts among us. We will examine how government expanded to meet economic and social crises, like the Great Depression, and especially World War II. We will look particularly at how intellectuals debated the issue of moral responsibility in the face of war. For the post-World War II period, we will examine how America became economically predominant and how our economic and military policies have had vast international implications.

Extractions: A Century in Words A review of In Our Own Words: Extraordinary Speeches of the American Century , edited by Senator Robert Torricelli and Andrew Carroll. Washington Square Press, 450 pages (paper), $17.95. By Dan Cook As far back as the days of old Rome, Tacitus lamented that the great orators were all gone and that oratory had declined, and yet we have ever seen that, when occasion called it forth, it is followed in as pure and strong a stream as in the days of Cicero himself. This is the premise of In Our Own Words , as laid out by Virginia state Sen. Don P. Halsey in a speech he gave repeatedly during the late 1890s and early 1900s. It was Halseys contention as it is the editors of this volume that words matter, and that extraordinary times will inevitably produce the gifted individuals needed to interpret, express and embody the spirit of the era. Edited by U.S. Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., and Andrew Carroll founder of the Legacy Project, which preserves historically significant correspondence In Our Own Words is an engaging and thoughtful effort to document the words that have mattered in American life during the 20th century. The excerpts of more than 150 speeches included here are weighted predictably toward matters of politics and the words of politicians. But there are also the words of poets, artists, activists, preachers, soldiers and even Chicago mobster Al Capone (maintaining that he, a public benefactor, has been unfairly maligned).
