STEVESON Adlai 1900 1975
Typed Letter Signed
Chicago 1953. First. unbound. very good. Outstanding T.L.S. 4to. 1 page personal stationary Chicago August 31 1953 to political adviser and Pulitzer Prize recipient Leland Stowe in part: ".I am baffled by the sudden change of attitude about McCarthy by many people I have talked to but perhaps "baffled" is not the word exactly. At any rate there seems to be a feeling he is slipping fast since his attack on the clergy and for me to proceed too aggressively would be to reinvigorate him because of the Protestant political implications." Stevenson's dilemma: McCarthy a staunch Catholic aligned himself with Joseph P. Kennedy a powerful Democrat and another rabid anti-Communist. The relationship was so strong that McCarthy even dated Kennedy daughters Patricia and Eunice. In addition to this Senator John F. Kennedy who served with McCarthy did not support Kennedy's Republican opponent Henry Cabot Lodge. As all this was happening McCarthy became godfather to Robert F. Kennedy's first child Kathleen and would later select Robert as a Council serving on this committee. After all Joseph Kennedy had an agenda: he would support McCarthy as a national Catholic politician who in return might help pave the way for a younger Kennedy's Presidential candidacy. Fine condition. American politician and diplomat who served as Governor of Illinois from 1949-1953. In 1952 and 1956 he was selected as the Democratic Party's candidate for President. unknown

Heinrich Himmler hade en unik maktst�llning i den nazistiska staten och var den som kanske mer �n n�gon annan stod f�r terror f�rf�ljelse och f�rintelse. Men trots sin centrala roll f�r regimen framst�r Himmler fortfarande som en blek och i stor utstr�ckning g�tfull gestalt. I denna f�rsta riktigt omfattande bok om Himmler f�renar Peter Longerich privat livshistoria med politisk biografi och visar att nazismens historia blir ofullst�ndig och obegriplig utan en grundlig k�nnedom om mannen i dess spets. unknown

He received a Bachelors Degree and a Masters Degree in Psychology from Columbia University and a Ph. D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago. Early on White did fieldwork in the American southwest with the Keresan Pueblo Indians. He then taught at the University of Michigan. Throughout his life White was interested in general evolution. He strongly supported the ideas of the 19th-century writers Herbert Spencer Lewis H. Morgan and Edward Tylor. He adopted many of their ideas and gave them a fresh approach. He is known for developing the term "culturology". White coined this term because he believed that cultures should not be explained in terms of psychology biology or physiology but rather in its own category. Culturology is defined as "the field of science which studies and interprets the distinct order of phenomena termed culture".<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Corners bumped spine head slightly rubbed spine lightly sunned. previous owner's name stamped on front endpaper.
