Higher Powers

Alcohol and After in Uganda’s Capital City

By: China Scherz,George Mpanga,Sarah Namirembe

Higher Powers draws on four years of collaborative fieldwork carried out with Ugandans working to reconstruct their lives after attempting to leave behind problematic alcohol use. Given the relatively recent introduction of biomedical ideas of alcoholism and addiction in Uganda, most of these people have used other therapeutic resources, including herbal aversion therapies, engagements with balubaale spirits, and forms of deliverance and spiritual warfare practiced in Pentecostal churches. While these methods are at times severe, they contain within them understandings of the self and practices of sociality that point away from models of addiction as a chronic relapsing brain disease and towards the possibility of release. Higher Powers offers a reconceptualization of addiction and recovery that may prove relevant well beyond Uganda.

Cold War Casualty

The Court-martial of Major General Robert W. Grow

By: George F. Hofmann

New research data gathered through the Freedom of Information Act and the first use of the Grow files provide the framework for this absorbing account of the general court-martial of one of General George S. Patton's famous armored division commanders of World War II. The 1952 court-martial of Major General Robert W. Grow, senior U.S. military attach� in Moscow during the Korean War era, involved a general officer who had used questionable judgment in securing a personal diary that contained impolitic statements portions of which had been photocopies by an alleged Soviet agent in Frankfurt, West Germany. This era of Cold War tensions and McCarthyism, Western media sensationalism, and communist propaganda created a cause c�l�bre and influenced the Army Staff in the Pentagon, led by Lieutenant General Maxwell D. Taylor, to exercise controversial command influence under the aegis of the new Uniform Code of Military Justice. White the State Department and Central Intelligence Agency recommended refuting the implications of the published diary, the Army Staff decided to prosecute the unfortunate attach�. Grow, a career soldier, welcomed a formal hearing in order to clear his name. The result became an exercise in Army politics and an example of the corruption of the military justice system through managerial careerism and unlawful command influence. Through his analysis of the Grow incident, Hofmann traces the actual operation of military judicial process under the Uniform Code and examines the bureaucratic intrigues, influence of the media, Cold War propaganda, and resulting conflict between service and self-interest.

Richard Nixon's Court

Pruning the Judicial Branch (The Age of Nixon Series, Book 2)

By: George D. Cameron III

The main themes of this second book in The Age of Nixon Series are that President Nixon well understood the importance of the Supreme Court and that his efforts to change the Court’s policy preferences were more successful than has been generally realized. More specifically, Nixon recognized the policy “problem,” he made a determined effort to change what he could during his presidency, and his efforts were merely the opening salvo in what has become a decades-long process to “remake” the Court. This book lets the twenty-nine Justices speak for themselves, via their votes in actual cases. Those votes are the book’s main data-points. The cases that appear in this book are by no means all of the cases the Supreme Court has decided on the eleven topics addressed within: Federalism, Interstate Commerce, Right to Counsel, Keep and Bear Arms, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Property Rights, Voting Rights, Education Rights, Employee Rights, and Competition Rights. Rather, the book’s primary focus is a comparison of the post-1968 voting patterns of the five Warren Court “holdover” justices and President Nixon’s (and later) replacement justices—as well as comparisons between and among the various replacement justices. This book’s author, Professor George D. Cameron III, taught Law for forty-three years at what is now the Ross Business School at the University of Michigan. Many of the cases included in this book are “old friends” of his that he used in the classroom and in his three Business Law textbooks. The book is also enriched by the additional perspectives derived from the author’s advanced studies in Political Science at Michigan and at Kent State University. He is thus able to assemble a sizable body of relevant data and then utilize it to provide unique insights into the remaking of the Supreme Court—a process begun by President Nixon.
