Self-portrait of a Southern Journalist

By: George William Healy

In this candid autobiography, George W. Healy, one of the South's, and the nation's, finest and most distinguished journalists, recalls the people and events that, during his career, left an indelible imprint on the history of the nation and the world. Healy, a Mississippi native, was a reporter who covered several major events of a turbulent time in history, a trusted friend of American presidents from Herbert Hoover to Richard Nixon, and an outspoken editor with solid views on what constituted a responsible press. His coverage of the Mississippi River flood of 1927 gained him nationwide recognition and caused Healy to make more contacts on a national level. The event was a launching pad for his journalistic career. George Healy served as editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune for thirty-six years, directing it and its staff to a position of unquestioned excellence. He also served in the inner circles of government. In 1943, in the midst of World War II, Franklin Roosevelt asked him to serve as director of the domestic branch of the Office of War Information. By resisting political pressures, Healy bridged the gap between the need for military censorship and the publicï¿½s right to know. George W. Healy was a precedent-setter throughout his career. His autobiography gives a unique and up-front look into his life and career, and an interesting time in our nationï¿½s history. As Turner Catledge says in the book's foreword, "George Healy is a person of whom it can truly be said that he is a part of all heï¿½s met.

Juvenile Delinquency

Readings

By: Joseph G. Weis,Robert D. Crutchfield,George Bridges

Designed for undergraduate juvenile delinquency courses, this book actively involves students in the literature of the discipline, presents the field in a format that is accessible, understandable, and enjoyable, and is edited by well-known scholars who are experienced researchers and teachers. * The readings in this anthology have been very carefully edited and pruned by the Editors so that undergraduate students can easily read them without getting bogged down or confused and lost in the technical, methodological details. * At no additional cost, we have included 5 substantial data analysis exercises spread throughout the book. These exercises not only teach students the basic of SPSS, the "standard" data analysis software in social science, but also show them how they can test the delinquency theories and propositions covered in the reader, using current delinquency data packaged with the book. This absolutely unique feature is structured into fill-in-the-blank exercise sets that are easy to grade for large numbers of students by a single instructor. * Over 150 very good questions have been put together for the readings so that instructors can easily test, even in large courses, whether or not their students are keeping up with the reading. * A separate instructor's manual (with more tests) is also available.

Richard Nixon's America

The Legislative Record

By: George D. Cameron III

This book describes and evaluates some 830 Public Acts out of the 1,671 added to the statute books during Richard Nixon’s presidency. The Nixon-era Acts examined here deal with six major topics, including protection of (1) the environment, (2) workers, (3) minorities, (4) consumers, (5) veterans, and (6) the general public. This book’s major premise is that significant valuable public policy was enacted during Nixon’s sixty-six months in office, thanks, in part, to his finding bipartisan agreement with Democrat congressional majorities. And these momentous accomplishments should not be overlooked or forgotten within a cloud of less-favorable Nixon-era memories. Thus, the legislative study in this book provides a bit of positive substance on the scale for the tenure of President Nixon. For those who supported Nixon, this book might offer reassurance that they were not, after all, totally misguided in doing so. But regardless of where your politics or opinions stand, this fact-based book offers valuable and unique insight and lessons about the importance of “reaching across the aisle” to get things done. No matter your level of existing knowledge, if you read this book, you will learn something new about Richard Nixon and maybe even change your opinion of him.

The Role of Violence in the Politics of Reconstruction

But There Was No Peace

The Role of Violence in the Politics of Reconstruction

By: George C. Rable

This is a comprehensive examination of the use of violence by conservative southerners in the post-Civil War South to subvert Federal Reconstruction policies, overthrow Republican state governments, restore Democratic power, and reestablish white racial hegemony. Historians have often stressed the limited and even conservative nature of Federal policy in the Reconstruction South. However, George C. Rable argues, white southerners saw the intent and the results of that policy as revolutionary. Violence therefore became a counterrevolutionary instrument, placing the South in a pattern familiar to students of world revolution.
