Subject: [DIG_REF] New Library of Congress Online Collection Presents Oral
Histories of U.S. Diplomats: "Frontline Diplomacy: The Foreign Affairs Oral
History Collection of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training"
A new online collection of interviews with some of the most prominent
diplomats of the 20th century is now available from the Library of
Congress's American Memory Web site:
<http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html>
"Frontline Diplomacy: The Foreign Affairs Oral History Collection of the
Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training"
<http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/diplomacy/>
presents a window into the lives of American diplomats. Transcripts of
interviews with U.S. diplomatic personnel capture their experiences,
motivations, critiques, personal analyses and private thoughts. These
elements are crucial to understanding the full story of the creation of a
structure of stable relationships that maintained world peace and
protected U.S. interests and values.
Most of the interviews in the collection come from foreign service
officers, but there also are some with political appointees and other
officials. While some 1920s-, 1930s-, and World War II-era diplomacy is
covered, most of the interviews involve post-World War II diplomacy, from
the late 1940s to the 1990s.
This collection captures the post-World War II period in vivid terms and
intimate detail, documenting the way U.S. diplomacy defended the United
States and its interests in a challenging world. The narratives span the
major diplomatic crises and issues that faced the United States during the
second half of the 20th century and, as new interviews are added, will
include developments in the 21st century. The 1,301 transcripts of oral
history interviews were donated by the Association for Diplomatic Studies
and Training, a private, nonprofit organization.
The collection includes extensive personal recollections from luminaries
of American 20th century diplomatic history, including Alfred "Roy"
Atherton (ambassador to Egypt), Zbigniew Brzezinski (national security
adviser under President Carter), Frank Carlucci (ambassador to Portugal
under Presidents Nixon and Ford; also served as secretary of defense under
President Reagan), Julia Child (spouse of foreign service officer Paul
Cushing Child), Lawrence Eagleburger (secretary of state under President
George H.W. Bush), Averell Harriman (ambassador to the Soviet Union and
England under President Franklin Roosevelt), Jeane Kirkpatrick (ambassador
to the United Nations), Winston Lord (played a critical role in opening
relations with China under President Nixon), Clare Boothe Luce (ambassador
to Italy under President Eisenhower), Douglas MacArthur II (nephew of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur and ambassador to Japan, Belgium, Austria and Iran),
Charles H. Percy (senator from Illinois), Rozanne Ridgway (ambassador to
Finland and East Germany), Dean Rusk (secretary of state under Presidents
Kennedy and Johnson), John S. Service (foreign service officer
specializing in China before World War II), Cyrus Vance (secretary of
state under President Carter) and Marion Post Wolcott (photographer,
married to USAID official Lee Wolcott).

This is an interesting piece of software.
Its a visual system for mapping ideas through the use of action
associated icons which may be linked and placed on different levels.
My own opinion is that it is still far from perfect and there are
basic things that the designer could do to make it less clunky and
more user friendly. The latest version seems to have focused on
enhancing the bells an whistles components of the program, many of
which seem totally useless, however the core functionality (the idea
mapping) is still there. This outfit from Singapore is on to
something. It's revolutionized the way I use Window's for my work.
So check it out:

4. EGYPTIAN COURT SENTENCES BLOGGER TO 4 YEARS IN PRISON

EGYPTIAN COURT SENTENCES BLOGGER TO 4 YEARS IN PRISON
An Egyptian blogger has been convicted and sentenced to four
years in prison for insulting Islam and Egypt's president,
sending a chill through fellow Internet writers who fear a
government crackdown. The 22-year-old former student at
Egypt's Al-Azhar University had been a vocal secularist and
sharp critic of conservative Muslims in his blog. His
conviction brought a flood of condemnations from
international and Egyptian human rights groups, as well as
fellow government critics on the Internet.

INTERNET POLICE UNCOVER GLOBAL PAEDOPHILE RING
UK police rescued eight children from alleged sexual abuse
after uncovering a suspected paedophile ring based in
Britain with more than 300 members worldwide. The
London-based Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre
coordinated a global undercover operation which pinpointed
alleged "principal suspects" in the UK. Officers from
Britain, the US, Australia, and Canada operated a shift
system to infiltrate the suspected paedophile ring on the
web.
