The document discusses how political influences can be found in writing. Specifically, it states that all writing is influenced by the politics of the time period and the author's own political views. It also provides examples of how to find political allusions or messages in writing by examining the historical context of when the piece was written. As an example, it summarizes how Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" uses changes to a hotel sign to represent how the American Revolution replaced rule under King George with the new nation under George Washington.

CHICAGO, 1968 : P OLICY AND P RO T E S T AT T HE DEMOCR AT IC N AT ION AL CONV EN T ION ROLE SHEET: Walter Trohan, Mainstream Journalist M AINS T R E AM JOUR N ALIS T 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. 1. Glen Elsasser, ...

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup. The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf

kaushalkr1407

The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence. The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth. Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration. The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority. Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages. Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
