For the very latest, were joined tonight by telephone by charles briquette, the mayor of surfside, florida. Joining us by telephone, because the weather has turned so suddenly severe, we cant get a tv signal out of there, which also means think of the underground rescue effort and how that will be slowed down and hampered by rainfall. Mr. Mayor, ive been watching you on television all day. I think were pretty close to the same age. When i woke up this morning, saw the pictures in your town, i thought of the Marine Barracks bombing. I thought of oklahoma city. And then ive seen your comment all day long. Buildings dont fall down like this in america. Obviously t ....
Exhibit that began at the New York Historical society and has traveled here, and it was a real pleasure to work on that, and i hope that you all get a chance to see it. Its an interesting exhibit. Today im going to talk a bit about my current research, which, as camille said, is about how the u. S. Army as an institution was trying to manage a crisis that its leaders perceived during the war in vietnam, a crisis around race. And as i imagine almost all of you know, the u. S. War in vietnam was the first major conflict that the United States fought from the beginning with an integrated armed force, with a racially integrated armed force.

Tgsds and here, here is the thing that shaped the trade more than anything else altogether. This tick, a lovely little creature, and then it harbored a three micron large protozoan, a tiny Little Critter inside the belly of this tick. Now, this tick thrived in the southern regions of the United States, in the southern portions of texas but also in mississippi and louisiana, georgia, florida, and what this tick would do, it latches on to the cattle. It would latch onto deer and horses as well, and then it would release this protozoan into the bloodstream of the cattle. In the south, the long horns and the cherokee cattle both developed immunities to this tick. The mothers milk gave those calves enough immunity where they could survive. They would be they would be touched by this disease, but they would survive it and grow into adulthood. This protozoan, when it got into the blo ....

But by the end of the 1960s, army leaders were talking about the war within the war and trying to figure out how to manage a racial crisis that they saw as starting to tear the army apart. My research right now is trying to think about how this massive institution tried to manage a racial crisis. I look at the theories of series of actions the army took, a whole variety of actions that range from the predictable actions of education and training, to an emp ....
