Focusing on the Louisiana public school system, this report explores the experiences of students displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita: their movements among schools, the durations of enrollments at each site, and time out of school. It also documents the effects of these movements on the state's public education system during the first academic year following the hurricanes, as reported by 415 school principals in survey responses.
Scranton's Bygone Department Stores: The Globe and the Dry

Remembering two palaces of retail For generations, Scranton's two big department stores, The Globe Store and Oppenheim's Scranton Dry Goods Company, affectionately known as the "Dry," dominated retail in the Electric City. Facing each other on Wyoming Avenue, they created special memories for those who walked their sales floors with attractive displays, special events, community service, and elaborate Christmas decorations. Many fondly recall the steamship round of beef carved to order at The Globe's Charl-Mont Restaurant or waving to customers passing by on the escalator from the Dry's mezzanine Tea Room. Together, the two stores brought the best the world had to offer to Northeastern Pennsylvania. Join Scranton area native Daniel J. Packer Jr. and step through the iconic revolving doors into a bygone era of shopping in grand style.

Neighborhood Effects on Crime and Youth Violence

Business improvement districts (BIDs) collect assessments and invest in local service provisions and activities, such as place promotion, street cleaning, and public safety. Such activities can help reduce crime and youth violence by increasing informal social control, reducing signs of disorder and blight, improving order maintenance, and enriching job opportunities. This report examines BIDs' impact on crime and youth violence in Los Angeles.
Three days of savage and bloody fighting between Confederate and Union troops at Stones River in Middle Tennessee ended with nearly 25,000 casualties but no clear victor. The staggering number of killed or wounded equaled the losses suffered in the well-known Battle of Shiloh. Using previously neglected sources, Larry J. Daniel rescues this important campaign from obscurity. The Battle of Stones River, fought between December 31, 1862, and January 2, 1863, was a tactical draw but proved to be a strategic northern victory. According to Daniel, Union defeats in late 1862 -- both at Chickasaw Bayou in Mississippi and at Fredericksburg, Virginia -- transformed the clash in Tennessee into a much-needed morale booster for the North. Daniel's study of the battle's two antagonists, William S. Rosecrans for the Union Army of the Cumberland and Braxton Bragg for the Confederate Army of Tennessee, presents contrasts in leadership and a series of missteps. Union soldiers liked Rosecrans's personable nature, whereas Bragg acquired a reputation as antisocial and suspicious. Rosecrans had won his previous battle at Corinth, and Bragg had failed at the recent Kentucky Campaign. But despite Rosecrans's apparent advantage, both commanders made serious mistakes. With only a few hundred yards separating the lines, Rosecrans allowed Confederates to surprise and route his right ring. Eventually, Union pressure forced Bragg to launch a division-size attack, a disastrous move. Neither side could claim victory on the battlefield. In the aftermath of the bloody conflict, Union commanders and northern newspapers portrayed the stalemate as a victory, bolstering confidence in the Lincoln administration and dimming the prospects for the ""peace wing"" of the northern Democratic Party. In the South, the deadlock led to continued bickering in the Confederate western high command and scorn for Braxton Bragg.

The American: The Hidden History of Daniel J. Boorstin and His Twentieth Century
Jon Boorstin
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA PRESS

What does it mean to be American? Daniel J. Boorstin, one of the most important intellectuals of the twentieth century, spent a lifetime pondering that question. And many people thought he came as close as anyone to providing answers that captured the nuances of that existential question. But as his son, novelist and filmmaker Jon Boorstin, reveals in The American, the nation's story--and his father's story--is far more complicated. As the twelfth Librarian of Congress and University of Chicago professor, Boorstin won a Pulitzer Prize in 1974 for the half-million words he wrote about being American and authored another trilogy about the history of humanity (The Discoverers, The Creators, and The Seekers). Yet he wrote just nine pages about himself. While his histories were embraced by readers for his celebration of frontier optimism and America's infinite capacity for hope, his own story suggests a more complicated truth--about humanity and America. In searching for the America that shaped Daniel J. Boorstin, Jon confronts the story Daniel never told. A true story about fathers and sons, about Jews and race, and the price of becoming an American. Daniel grew up living the kind of history he didn't write about. His father, Sam, was a Jew from Georgia, a would-be Southern Gentleman and good friend and legal counsel to Leo Frank, who was lynched in America's most notorious antisemitic incident. Sam fled Atlanta with his family to another unlikely Jewish home: Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was then just becoming the self-proclaimed oil capital of the world. There Sam lived through the infamous Tulsa Massacre in 1921. Jon describes how despite these tragedies, Sam Boorstin's booster spirit and his idiosyncratic morality combined to shape Daniel's gilded views of America and Americans. Jon also explores his father's lifelong friendship with distinguished Black historian, John Hope Franklin, a fellow Tulsan. Both of whom were unwavering proponents of the American Dream in the face of extraordinary prejudice. Part biography, part family history, and a crucial extension of his father's work, Jon Boorstin illuminates what we might learn from what was left out. And how, during another challenging time for America, we may renew our own faith in the future.

Essays on the World of Humans: F. Frosini & D.J. Brick

Many years ago, in a poetry class for beginners, I read one of my early efforts which contained the following three lines: "A young poet drops his pen, astonished / by the twenty lines he has just written, / certain it is the Poem of Total Realization." The teacher smiled and said, "I remember thinking I had written that poem when I was sixteen." What we learn from writing poems over a long expanse of time is that each one takes further along the path of our daily life, leading eventually to whatever fulfills our existence. Each poem illuminates for its moment the darkness surrounding us, and in that light we can see the World in its glory or, sadly, in its degradation. Finally, we will carry within, not only the poem as a piece of literature but also the emotional growth it promotes. DJ Brick] ***Nature is wild and eagles and wolves will never be lovers. But certainly Poetry can overcome every obstacle and translates our dreams, desires, passions.. in images that evoke even a new, different Universe. Furthermore, Poetry is such a powerful tool: violence can kill, of course, but Words are stronger. Thus, Ideals/Values will be the final winner, because they can speak directly to hearts and minds - and touching them deeply, they can profoundly change a human being - Even the whole Humankind F. Frosini] ***In the arts repetition is the path of mastery. John Gielgud is said to have performed the role of Hamlet more than any actor in history. Only his innate modesty and respect for Shakespeare's genius kept him from claiming he had mastered the role. Those who witnessed his stage performances several times readily called him the master. A pianist of the caliber of Glenn Gould achieves greatness by rehearsing 'The Goldberg Variations' over and over, performing them again and again, continually discovering new details for each new performance. And the venerable Robert Frost was still reciting from memory poems he had written just before World War I in the 1960s and still charming audiences who knew them almost as well as he did. DJ Brick] ***Stating that our human nature is evil, would not be acceptable at all. Yet, it is beyond doubt that we humans are capable of behaving much and much worse than the most ferocious beasts, when our mental inhibitory-control fails to curb the worst and most pressing impulses. Nowadays, the rise of mass media has changed the way societies think and, unfortunately, exploiting mass psychology has become a lucrative affair for many. Politicians and CEOs of large corporations, in particular, know very well how to manipulate the masses, and in doing so, they can profoundly change our societies -our lives. Above all, through an increase in social inequality. And failing to deal with inequalities only leads to a rise of political extremes. F. Frosini]
