Lecture Archives September 2007 Benefit dinner for Humanities Council is sold out
The 7:30 p.m. lecture at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha features Michael Beschloss, author of the current bestseller “Presidential Courage: Brave Leaders and How They Changed America, 1789-1989.”
Entitled “Great Presidents Past and Present,” the lecture is free and open to the public.
Beschloss is one of America’s leading presidential historians, with studies of presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson all in print. Of his 2002 “The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler’s Germany, 1941-1945,” The New York Times Review of Books said in a front-page review that the “vigorously written” book was “history as it was spoken at the time, and there is not a dull page.”
Beschloss was appointed NBC News presidential historian—the first time any major network has created such a position—and appears regularly on “Meet the Press” and the “Today” show. He is a regular on PBS’s “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.” Beschloss received an Emmy for his research in creating the Discovery Channel series “Decisions that Shook the World,” narrated by actor Morgan Freeman. The lecture is presented by the Nebraska Humanities Council, Creighton University and the University of Nebraska.
“We are thrilled with the response to the benefit dinner, but want people to know that there is still room to attend the lecture, first-come, first-seated,” said Jane Renner Hood, executive director of the Nebraska Humanities Council. “The Governor's Lecture in the Humanities dinner is our largest fund-raising event of the year. This response will help the Nebraska Humanities Council sustain programs like Chautauqua and our speakers bureau—programs that Nebraskans want for their communities.”
In conjunction with the lecture, Charles E. “Chuck” Trimble of Omaha will receive the NHC’s 2007 Sower Award in the Humanities. He is a member of the Oglala Sioux Nation who has been active on both the national and state level on behalf of Native Americans. Trimble is the founder of two companies focused on economic development for Native American reservations, as well as the Red Willow Institute, which provides technical and management assistance to Native American non-profit organizations. He founded the American Indian Press Association, now the Native American Journalists Association.

The 9th Annual Governor’s Lecture in the Humanities, featuring journalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Halberstam, was broadcast live Sept. 9 on Lincoln cable channel 21 and on the NebSat satellite channel 105. The 8 p.m. lecture also was taped for later broadcast on radio.
Presented by the NHC, the University of Nebraska and the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues, Halberstam’s timely lecture was entitled “War and the Modern American Presidency.” The E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues is a cooperative project of the Cooper Foundation, the Lied Center for Performing Arts and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and has a mission of promoting better understanding of world events and issues to all Nebraskans.
Author of 19 books and a prolific writer of magazine articles, Halberstam is a legendary figure in American journalism. He first came to national prominence in the early ‘60s as one of a small group of American reporters who refused to accept the official optimism about Vietnam and reported that the war was being lost. His landmark trilogy of books on power in America, “The Best and the Brightest,” “The Powers That Be” and “The Reckoning,” helped define the latter part of the 20th century and won Halberstam many awards and broad critical acclaim. Some of his books will be available for purchase and autographing at the lecture.
In conjunction with the lecture, the 2004 Sower Award in the Humanities was presented to Don Welch, Reynolds Professor of Poetry emeritus at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. A graduate of Kearney State Teachers College and the University of Nebraska, Welch is a lifelong Nebraskan whose poetry reflects a deep sense of place. His latest book is entitled “The Alley Poems,” published in 2002 by Lone Willow Press of Omaha.

Journalist, author and historian David Halberstam, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on Vietnam for The New York Times, recently drew comparisons between that conflict and the current military engagement in Iraq.
“They’re not exact parallels, and you have to be extremely careful,” Halberstam said during a panel discussion at the JFK Library in Boston. “It’s apples and oranges, but there are moments when the apples look like oranges and the oranges look like apples.”
Halberstam will deliver the 9th Annual Governor’s Lecture in the Humanities on Sept. 9 at the Lied Center for Performing Arts in Lincoln. The timely lecture is entitled “War and the Modern American Presidency.”
Halberstam linked the wars in Vietnam and Iraq in the failure of military intelligence and the power of political will.
“Most serious citizens thought that in the debate that preceded the Iraq War the administration failed to make the case, not just on weapons of mass destruction but on connecting bin Laden to Saddam Hussein,” he said. “Inevitably, intelligence got tailored to the desires of the people who wanted to pull the levers, as happened in Vietnam.”
The two wars also are similar, he said, in “the overestimation of our allies, the underestimation of our adversaries, the failure to compute history… an historical undertow that works against your presence and against your military superiority.” The Sept. 9 evening lecture is free and open to the public. It is presented by the Nebraska Humanities Council, the University of Nebraska and the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues, a cooperative project of the Cooper Foundation, the Lied Center for Performing Arts and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a mission of promoting better understanding of world events and issues to all Nebraskans.

He first came to national prominence in the early ‘60s as part of a small group of American reporters who refused to accept the official optimism about Vietnam and reported that the war was being lost.
His most recent books include “War in a Time of Peace: Bush, Clinton and the Generals” (2001); “Firehouse” (2002), the story of his local firehouse, which lost 12 men on 9/11; and “The Teammates” (2003), a moving account of the 60-year friendship among Red Sox players.

Presented by the Nebraska Humanities Council the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues, and the University of Nebraska, the timely lecture is entitled “War and the Modern American Presidency.” The E.N.

His landmark trilogy of books on power in America, “The Best and the Brightest,” “The Powers That Be” and “The Reckoning,” helped define the latter part of the 20th century and won Halberstam innumerable awards and broad critical acclaim. They deal with, respectively, the path that the Kennedy and Johnson administrations used to take America to war in Vietnam, the dramatic and sudden rise of the power of modern news media and the ascent of the Japanese as a rival economic power. The breadth of Halberstam’s work is demonstrated by the vastly different subjects of his best-selling books. “Summer of ‘49” (1989) is a nostalgic look at the pennant race. “The Next Century” (1991) defines the American agenda in the journey toward the year 2000. “The Fifties” (1993) examines a decade seminal in shaping the America of today. His most recent books include “War in a Time of Peace: Bush, Clinton and the Generals” (2001); “Firehouse” (2002), the story of his local firehouse, which lost 12 men on 9/11; and “The Teammates” (2003), a moving account of the 60-year friendship among four Red Sox players. Halberstam also is the editor of “Defining a Nation: The Remarkable Circumstances that Shaped the American Character” (2003). His next book is an account of a key early battle of the Korean War, when Chinese forces struck American units near the Yalu River. Born in New York in 1934, Halberstam graduated from Harvard University in 1955 with a degree in journalism. He joined the staff of The New York Times in 1960. The University of Nebraska is underwriting a portion of the cost of this year's Governor's Lecture in the Humanities. Safire delivered lecture Sept. 18 in Omaha
The 8 p.m. lecture, presented by the Nebraska Humanities Council with an introduction by Gov. Mike Johanns, was entitled “What’s Going to Happen in Washington.” Safire was a White House advisor and speechwriter in the Nixon administration. The conservative commentator joined the staff of The New York Times as a political columnist in 1973. He also writes a Sunday column, “On Language,” which has appeared in The New York Times Magazine since 1979. This column on grammar, usage and etymology has led to the publication of 10 books and made him the most widely read writer on the English language. Safire began his career as a reporter for a profiles column in The New York Herald Tribune. He also has been a radio and TV producer and a U.S. Army correspondent. From 1955 to 1960, he was vice president of a public relations firm in New York City, then became president of his own firm. He brought Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev together in the 1959 Moscow “kitchen” debate to publicize his client’s kitchen. In 1968, he joined the Nixon presidential campaign. He is author of “Freedom,” a novel of Lincoln and the Civil War. Other novels include “Full Disclosure” and “Sleeper Spy.” His nonfiction works include a dictionary entitled “The New Language of Politics,” “The Relations Explosion,” “Plunging into Politics,” a history of the pre-Watergate years called “Before the Fall,” a speech anthology entitled “Lend Me Your Ears” and “The First Dissident,” a political interpretation of the Book of Job. Safire was born Dec. 17, 1929, and attended Syracuse University. A dropout after two years, he retuned a generation later to deliver the commencement address and is now a trustee. Since 1995, he has been a member of the Pulitzer Board. He is married, has two children, and lives in suburban Washington, D.C., where he writes from the Washington bureau for The New York Times.

Reviewer:
Safire book
is touchstone
to history
No Uncertain Terms By Bob Trimble One of the pleasures of reading a collection of William Safire's language columns is reviewing history in light of the words it invoked. This collection, the 13th, deals with the last years of the Clinton administration and the beginning of the George W. Bush-Al Gore presidential campaign. Words that came up during Bill Clinton's impeachment and Senate trial form a big part of the book, as the collections usually are printed two to three years after the columns originally appeared. Safire, who also writes a conservative political column for The New York Times, tries - unsuccessfully - to be nonpartisan here. One of the most humorous entries occurred when lyricist Stephen Sondheim raked him over the coals at some length for straying into politics. Safire reprinted the letter, explaining the origin and nuances of each word. Among the words that caught Safire's attention were calumny, brooch, compulsive and compelling; shameless; reckless and indefensible; chastened and chastised; humiliated and humbled; misprision, suborn and censure. Of course, impeachment is only part of Safire's bag of language tricks. He argues when to use "each other" and when to use "one another"; what verb to use with athletic teams such as the Jazz and the Heat. He also chides advertisers for grammatical errors, comments on the change in meaning of words and tracks the first use of words in the news. If you are a fan of language or are worried about your grammar, William Safire is your touchstone, whatever your political persuasion. |

The 7th Annual Governor's Lecture in the Humanities was presented by the NHC and the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues. The United States should continue to pursue a diplomatic solution rather than rushing to war with a unilateral attack on Iraq, Friedman said during an address that drew heavily on his intimate knowledge of the Middle East and recent travels in the region. “I want to do this with allies at home and allies abroad,” he said. “The American people are really uncomfortable about doing this alone, and with good reason.” Friedman’s new book, “Longitudes and Attitudes,” contains columns that the three-time Pulitzer Prize winner wrote about the historic and tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, the most momentous news story of our time. It also chronicles his experiences and reactions during that period of crisis. Times public affairs columnist since January 1995, Friedman previously was the chief economic correspondent in the paper’s Washington bureau, chief White House correspondent and chief diplomatic correspondent. In June 1984, he was transferred from Beirut to Jerusalem, where he served as the Times’ Israel bureau chief until February 1988, when he was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship to write a book about his reflections on the Middle East. “From Beirut to Jerusalem” won the 1989 National Book Award for nonfiction and was on the Times’ best-seller list for nearly a year. His book “The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization” was published in 1999. It has been translated into more than 20 languages and won the 1999 Overseas Press Club Award for the best book on foreign policy. The 7th Annual Governor’s Lecture in the Humanities was co-sponsored by the Lied Center for Performing Arts, the University of Nebraska President’s Office, the University of Nebraska and the Dillon Foundation. Gov. Mike Johanns introduced Friedman. |

An
excerpt from the book:
"From Beirut to Jerusalem" In June 1984, journalist Thomas Friedman was transferred from Beirut to Jerusalem, where he served as the New York Times’ Israel bureau chief until February 1988, when he was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship to write a book about his reflections on the Middle East. In June 1989 he published “From Beirut to Jerusalem.” The book has been published in 10 languages and is used as a basic textbook on the Middle East in many high schools and universities. What follows is an excerpt from the updated 1995 edition of “From Beirut to Jerusalem.” It appears with the consent of the author. By Thomas L. Friedman As for the Arabs and Israelis, my bottom line is this: There are going to be good days and bad days, and all one can hope for is that the good days will vastly outnumber the bad. I spent a week in Israel and Gaza in October 1994. In a space of five days, I met businessmen coming to the region to invest for the first time; I saw the Israeli leadership fly off to Amman to finalize a peace treaty with King Hussein on his palace balcony; I watched Syria’s Foreign Minister give the first interview ever by a Syrian official to Israel Television; I saw the Gaza Strip being whitewashed with a fresh coat of paint, and I observed a joint Israeli-PLO patrol maintaining order at a Gaza checkpoint. But in that very same week, Hamas gunmen sprayed machine-gun fire into the Jerusalem restaurant mall that runs right below what used to be the New York Times office; Hamas gunmen kidnapped an Israeli soldier and then killed him before they themselves died in a hail of gunfire from an Israeli commando unit. And, capping off the week, a Hamas suicide bomber blew up a bus in the heart of Tel Aviv, at a spot near where I had been shopping only a few days earlier. This, I am afraid, is the future—a constant struggle between the forces of peace and the forces of extremism. My friend Yaron Ezrahi had a good description for it. He said, “Just as Israel fought a war of attrition against the Arabs in the 1970s, so now it is fighting a peace of attrition.” It will take the same amount of energy as the war of attrition, and probably claim almost as many lives, but hopefully it will produce a modicum of coexistence at the end of the road. A finite peace these people will never know, but a measure of coexistence that allows most of them to go about their lives and do their business may be possible. But the closer they get toward that uneasy coexistence, the more violent and desperate will the forces of extremism become. That’s why it will take Rabin and Arafat even more courage to win the peace of attrition than it took them to shake hands in the first place. Because the only way they can win is if they each confront their extremists head on—before they destroy all that has been achieved. For Rabin that means confronting the Jewish settlers and rolling them back to a line that leaves the Palestinians enough room to establish a functioning state in the West Bank and Gaza. For Arafat that means crushing the violent wing of the Moslem fundamentalist movement, before they blow up so many Israelis inside Israel that the Israeli public loses all faith in the peace process. As I write this book, Rabin himself is now talking regularly about “separation” from the Palestinians. That’s good. I think peace begins with barbed wire, not block parties. Rabin has even gone so far as to say that his primary concern is the “97 percent of Israelis” who live within the boundaries of “sovereign Israel”—not those settlers in the West Bank and Gaza. But while Mr. Rabin speaks about separation, his government has increased settlements in the West Bank by 10 percent in two years. The settlers have run circles around him, often with the complicity of some of Rabin’s own ministers. That is a cancer. It undermines Arafat’s credibility and leaves Palestinians feeling they are being duped. It’s time for Rabin to draw them a line where Israel stops and they start. Without such a line, the Palestinians will fight for every hill and against every Israeli tractor. As for Mr. Arafat, Israelis don’t expect him to end all violence against them. They understand that some originates from areas under Israel’s control. But they do expect him to remove the ambiguity about whether these suicide bombers are the fringe of his community or its very soul. If they are the fringe, then he has to demonstrate that. If they are the soul, then the peace process is doomed, and the only Palestinian state will be in heaven, with the suicide bombers, not here on earth next to Israel. Two days before the Rabin-Arafat signing ceremony at the White House, I had a chance to interview President Clinton on Air Force One. To understand our conversation, I must tell the reader that for years whenever people asked me if I was optimistic or pessimistic about a Palestinian-Israeli rapprochement, I would answer with a paraphrase of an old Arabic proverb. I would say, “Hair will grow out of the palm of my hand before Israel will allow the Palestinians to hold elections in Gaza and the West Bank.” Yet, in the wake of the Rabin-Arafat handshake, such elections seemed to be a real possibility. In any event, as I walked into President Clinton’s private cabin aboard Air Force One, he shook my hand warmly. But he would not let go. He startled rolling my hand around and examining it like a palm reader. At first I didn’t know what he was up to, and then with a smile he said, “Let’s see, any hair growing there, yet?” Well, not just yet, but I hope there will be soon. I came by my pessimism the hard way. So I will have to come by my optimism the same way—one day at a time, watching to see if a new relationship really can take root among these people too long at war. I don’t know if they have the staying power for the long journey back from the abyss, and for the long peace of attrition that lies ahead. But I do know one thing: that Israelis, Palestinians and Jordanians have at least bought a ticket. |
