    Richard Bak

  • White House Daze
    Charles Kolb
    'What happened to ’We are the Change’ between 1988 and 1992? The answer to that question explains why George Bush was a one-term President. The Party of new ideas had become the party of incumbency. Many Republicans now took for granted the 'electoral lock', the Southern bloc, and Republican control of the executive branch. Their complacency was reinforced by the President’s ow...

  • Coca-Colonization and the Cold War
    Reinhold Wagnleitner
    Reinhold Wagnleitner argues that cultural propaganda played an enormous part in integrating Austrians and other Europeans into the American sphere during the Cold War.

  • Farmers and Fishermen
    Daniel Vickers
    Daniel Vickers examines the shifting labor strategies used by colonists as New England evolved from a string of frontier settlements to a mature society on the brink of industrialization.

  • Froth and Scum
    Andie Tucher
    Two notorious antebellum New York murder cases--a prostitute slashed in an elegant brothel and a tradesman bludgeoned by the brother of inventor Samuel Colt--set off journalistic scrambles over the meanings of truth, objectivity, and the duty of the press that reverberate to this day. In 1833 an entirely new kind of newspaper--cheap, feisty, and politically independent--in...

  • Puerto Rican and Cuban Catholics in the U.S., 1900-1965
    When Puerto Ricans and Cubans arrived in the United States both groups presented to American Catholics the paradox of cultures pervaded by Catholic symbols, attitudes, and traditions, but out of touch with the values and priorities of the institutional Church.
