Reflect:The U.S. national government is based on the framework detailed in the U.S. Constitution. The process that the Founding Fathers used to map out our national government is fascinating and illuminating. The Constitution creates a system of checks and balances and separation of powers that have been focal points for class discussions.

Interacting with the federal government includes a variety of different actors and political processes such as the states, political parties, interest groups, and federal elections. All these features create a vibrant and healthy democracy.
Write: In your initial post of at least 200 to 250 words, explain how and why one feature of the U.S. government is the most important for America’s democracy. Choose one feature below to discuss in detail:
· Written, detailed, flexible Constitution.

ROLE SHEET: Walter Trohan, Mainstream Journalist

Walter Trohan
Chicago Tribune columnist
orn in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania, in 1903, your family moved to the South Side of
Chicago in 1910, so you grew up and went to school in Chicago. You know the city well.
This is your town.
In high school, you worked as a reporter for a small newspaper, The Daily Calumet.
After graduating, you attended the University of Notre Dame with the specific idea of becoming a
newspaperman. Consequently, you took many courses in English and history.
After graduating, you worked in New York City, but you did not like it, so you came back to
Chicago, where you got a job with the City News Bureau in 1927. This gave you the opportunity to
cover the infamous 1929 St. Valentine’s Day massacre when Al Capone’s gang gunned down seven
members of a rival organization. Even though you had to take a streetcar, you were the first reporter
on the scene.
Your crack reporting earned you a job with the Chicago Tribune covering courts. In 1934, they
offered you a job working in Washington, D.C. After accepting, you ironically observed, “From the
lofty beginnings of police reporting, I descended into politics. My progress has been steadily downward
ever since.”1
When you first arrived, Washington seemed more like a small town than the nation’s capital. You
had free run of the White House and had the telephone numbers of everyone on the cabinet. Your
stories were often critical of Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, but you always maintained a cordial
relationship with the president. He had charisma in spades, but he was also the worst snob you ever
encountered. You also cultivated a relationship with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.
Over the years, your connections and experience as a Washington insider gave you a number of
scoops. For example, in 1951, you were the first to learn that President Truman planned to fire General
Douglas MacArthur over their differences regarding Korean War strategy.
You eventually became a senior reporter and served as the executive director of the Tribune’s Wash-
ington Bureau; you built it from four reporters to about fourteen. You have worked in Washington for
more than thirty-five years and are contemplating retirement, but you have at least one Convention left
in you—particularly one in your old hometown.
OBJECTIVES
The Tribune is the best of Chicago’s newspapers. You are a political reporter, well versed in the ins and
outs of Washington, so your research needs to be thorough, accurate, and rich in facts.
Get the scoop!
If you are the only journalist to release a call for a big event like a protest, walkout, or vice presidential
pick, it will confirm your reputation as one of America’s leading journalists. Get someone to go on the
record about an important upcoming event.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Required Reading: Christopher Matthews, Hardball - Available at half.com, Border, Barnes and Noble,
Amazon.com (used copies around $5), or your local library
In the book Hardball, Chris Matthews defines the title term: "Hardball is clean, aggressive Machiavellian
politics. It is the discipline of gaining and holding power, useful to any profession or undertaking, but practiced
most openly and unashamedly in the world of public affairs.”
Matthews supports his observations and conclusions with quotes from a variety of sources. Below are a list of
political maxims (sayings), from Hardball and a series of quotes from the book. Your task is to complete part A
and part B.
(A) Define the term “politics”. Explain the meaning of ten political maxims (sayings). You should incorporate
detailed examples explaining each maxim. Your examples can come from the book, historical examples, or
recent current events. If you copy/paste any information, you will earn an automatic zero.
A. Political Maxims:
1. What've ya done for me lately? 8. Leave no shot unanswered
2. All politics is local 9. Hang a Lantern on Your Problem
3. It's better to receive than to give 10. Politics = Power

5. Dance with the one that brung ya 12. Positioning
6. Keep your enemies in front of you 13. Retail politics
7. Don't Get Mad; Don't Get Even; Get Ahead
(B) Describe the context of five of the following quotes, giving appropriate details including the speaker and
background of each quote. If you copy/paste any information, you will earn an automatic zero.
1. "He's not going to win. It's a Republican district. He'd be better for us is he loses. He'll work for me. He'll
bring his organization with him."
2. No, Ronald Reagan is a man of the media: the Great Wholesaler ... he was positioning himself with enormous
science, establishing himself in the public mind not as an aloof head of government but as the man next door.
Every action was designed to make him appear close to the people and distant from the government.
3. "I've lived across the street from you for 18 years ... I shoveled your walk in winter. I cut your grass in
summer ... I didn't think I had to ask you for your vote. He never forgot her response. 'Tom, I want you to know
something: people like to be asked.'"
4. "Better to have them p....n' inside the tent than outside p....n' in."
5. ... the elections of 1994 were a rough slap in the face. His party lost control of both houses of Congress for
the first time since 1954 ... Rather than join his fellow Democrats in defeat, he took advisor Dick Morris's
advice ... "parroting the rhetoric of the congressional Democrats would merely be sharing the storm cellar with
them ... Adopting the Republican agenda begged the question. The president needed to take a position that
blended the best of each party's position." (DO NOT USE POSITIONING TO EXPLAIN THIS QUOTE)
5
6. 6. "... His message came across clear and appealing ... He described America as a country 'where no Catholic
prelate would tell the President -- should he be a Catholic - how to act and no Protestant minister would tell his
parishioners for whom to vote. This is a country where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one
Church is treated as an act against all."
7. "Florida Senator, Lawton Chiles, rejected the well-tailored dark blue suit so fashionable in D.C. 'When I
dress like that, no one comes up to me in the airport to say hello.'"
8. "We succeed in enterprises which demand the positive qualities we posses, but we excel at those which also
make use of our defects"...(relate to Ed Muskie)
9. The waiter said, "Well, maybe you don't know who I am." "Well, as a matter of fact, I don't ... who are you"
"I'm the guy who's in charge of the butter."
10. "Cry Baby", screamed the headline of the New York Daily News above a picture of Newt in diapers. "Newt's
Tantrum: He closed down the government because Clinton made him sit at the back of the plane."
11. "Don't give it all at once. Give five thousand at the start and indicate they can come back for more if they
need it. Halfway through the campaign, they'll be back. This time give them another five thousand and indicate
that is all you intend to contribute. About a week before the election, they'll be some desperate for money that
someone will suggest that maybe you can be induced to come to the rescue..."
12. "It's been said that I'm not the most compelling speaker, and there are actually those who claim that I don't
always communicate in the clearest, most concise way. Well, I may not be the most eloquent ... and I may
sometimes be a little awkward ... but there is nothing self-conscious in my love of country. I am a quiet man,
but I hear the quiet people others don't. The ones who raise a family, pay the taxes, met the mortgages."
13. "JFK would call 5 or 6 ... LBJ would take 19 names and call them all."
