Book excerpt: No year in the history of UFOs had greater impact than 1952. It was a year in which the leadership of the United States Air Force was inundated with incredible reports of unknown objects from credible and competent witnesses. They described objects that looked like nothing they had ever seen, performing maneuvers that did not seem to be possible, and at times over very sensitive places such as military bases and key technology sites.Events culminated in the summer of that year, when these objects appeared for two weekends in a row the nation's Capitol. Air Force interceptors and commercial airliners alike saw them, as well as people on the ground. Orders were given to shoot them down. The New York Times ran a headline article about them. President Truman demanded answers. Air Force General John Samford gave a much-publicized press conference in which he attributed the main confusion not to not aliens from another world, but to weather. The press and public might have believed this, but few insiders in the military or intelligence community seem to have. Enter the CIA. For the remainder of 1952, the Central Intelligence Agency got involved in trying to understand just what was going on. Senior analysts appear to have taken UFOs seriously. The end result was the infamous Robertson Panel, which imprinted the tradition of debunking UFOs not only to the public at large, but to the military and intelligence community itself. At least those segments of that didn't have a need-to-know. It is a tradition that has lasted to this day. Bruce Maccabee has been researching and writing about UFOs for nearly fifty years. He is one of the world's leading experts on US government policy toward UFOs, and is ideally suited to write this definitive treatment of the most fascinating year of UFOs in American history.
Download or read book Just Plain Dick written by Kevin Mattson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all started with some businessmen bankrolling Richard Nixon to become a “salesman against socialization.” But in this precursor to current campaign finance scandals, Nixon had some explaining to do to keep his place on Dwight Eisenhower's Republican ticket, so he took to the airwaves. The “Checkers” speech saved and bolstered Nixon's political career and set the tone for the 1952 campaign. Just Plain Dick is political history and more. It's the story of a young man nearing a nervous breakdown and staging a political comeback. While the narrative focuses tightly, almost cinematically, on the 1952 election cycle-from the spring primary season to the summer conventions, then to the allegations against Nixon through to the speech in September, and finally the election in November-Mattson also provides a broad-stroke depiction of American politics and culture during the Cold War.

Download or read book Mid Century Modernism and the American Body written by Kristina Wilson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first investigation of how race and gender shaped the presentation and marketing of Modernist decor in postwar America In the world of interior design, mid-century Modernism has left an indelible mark still seen and felt today in countless open-concept floor plans and spare, geometric furnishings. Yet despite our continued fascination, we rarely consider how this iconic design sensibility was marketed to the diverse audiences of its era. Examining advice manuals, advertisements in Life and Ebony, furniture, art, and more, Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body offers a powerful new look at how codes of race, gender, and identity influenced—and were influenced by—Modern design and shaped its presentation to consumers. Taking us to the booming suburban landscape of postwar America, Kristina Wilson demonstrates that the ideals defined by popular Modernist furnishings were far from neutral or race-blind. Advertisers offered this aesthetic to White audiences as a solution for keeping dirt and outsiders at bay, an approach that reinforced middle-class White privilege. By contrast, media arenas such as Ebony magazine presented African American readers with an image of Modernism as a style of comfort, security, and social confidence. Wilson shows how etiquette and home decorating manuals served to control women by associating them with the domestic sphere, and she considers how furniture by George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, as well as smaller-scale decorative accessories, empowered some users, even while constraining others. A striking counter-narrative to conventional histories of design, Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body unveils fresh perspectives on one of the most distinctive movements in American visual culture.
