Extractions: Mankind has been captivated by flying at least since the beginning of recorded history and no doubt long before that. I suppose Freudians would call it "bird envy." The story of Daedalus in Greek mythology is well known. So is that of his son, Icarus, who became humanity's first known aerial casualty as a result of "leaving his wing man," as Hollywood script writers would call it. Whatever else lured Daedalus and the mortals who came after him into the air, from the Montgolfiers to the Wright brothers to Bleriot, Korolev, Earhart and beyond and there were a great many complex reasons, spiritual as well as practical -observation of terra firma was among the most compelling. Whether the flier is a hawk searching for lunch or a reconnaissance pilot searching for the enemy, height gives tremendous advantage because it extends the view. All things being equal chiefly clarity of vision advantage increases in proportion to altitude. That is why balloons were used by Napoleon's army in Egypt and by the Army of the Potomac, why military aircraft were first used for observation, and why RAND Corporation engineers assigned the same role to satellites as early as 1946: eleven years before one actually flew. Practical space-based intelligence collection was conceived in the first flushes of the Cold War and was increasingly driven by it as both sides' positions hardened. Obvious civilian uses of space imagery, such as weather prediction and resource monitoring, had been postulated in concrete terms for years.

Cold War Exile: The Unclosed Case Of Maurice Halperin cold war Exile. The Unclosed Case of Maurice Halperin. Don S. Kirschner. The cold war was in full force. McCarthyism was at its peak. http://www.umsystem.edu/upress/spring1995/kirschn.htm
Extractions: In 1953 Maurice Halperin was called before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee to defend himself on charges of espionage. He was accused of having supplied Soviet sources with classified material from the Office of Strategic Services while he was an employee during World War II. The Cold War was in full force. McCarthyism was at its peak. Caught up in the rapids of history, Maurice Halperin's life spun out of control. Denying the charges but knowing he could never fully clear his name, Halperin fled to Mexico and then, to avoid extradition, to Moscow. Among the friends he made there were British spy Donald MacLean and Cuban revolutionary leader Che Guevara. Disenchanted with socialism in the Soviet Union, he accepted Guevara's invitation to come to Havana in 1962. There he worked for Castro's government for five years before political tension forced him to leave for Vancouver, Canada, where he now resides. Was Halperin a spy or a scapegoat? Was he a victim of Red- baiting or a onetime Communist espionage agent who eventually lost faith in Communism? Halperin's accuser was Elizabeth Bentley, a confessed Soviet courier who accused more than one hundred Americans of spying. Yet Bentley had no proof, and Halperin continues to maintain his innocence. One of them was lying. As Kirschner unravels the engrossing facts of the caseutilizing FBI files and dozens of interviews, including extensive interviews with Halperin himselfthe reader becomes the investigator in a riveting real-life spy mystery. Along the way Kirschner offers new material on the OSS and further disturbing information about J. Edgar Hoover's use of his considerable power.

Extractions: In/conclusion In a now infamous New York Times article from January, 2002, Jack Valenti, President of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), likened his organization’s efforts in opposing peer-to-peer downloads of motion pictures via the Internet to a military engagement. Valenti said, "We’re fighting our own terrorist war," adding, "the great moat that protects us, and it is only temporary, is lack of broadband access" [ ]. Valenti’s remarks position his industry as both a victim and a target, and span centuries of military history. The timing of Valenti’s comments makes it clear that his reference to a "terrorist war" was meant to be understood in the context of the United States’ response to the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Valenti was inviting readers of a newspaper serving the city hardest hit by these attacks to understand the film industry as having endured a parallel trauma. By contrast, Valenti’s description of the industry as temporarily protected by a "great moat," positions the MPAA as, at best, a medieval protectorate, and at worst, the sort of plutocratic castle-keep regularly targeted by Robin Hood. Business Week Online reported that "box office receipts are 21 percent ahead of last year’s pace" [

Extractions: With superpowers in the east and west testing powerful new weapons, the Canadian race for self-preservation took off in the early 1950s. The rising of the Iron Curtain intensified the threat of mass destruction, as communication between the Americans and Soviets came to a screeching halt. In this volatile new world, Canadians fretted about fallout shelters and the government prepared to go underground.

Extractions: Origins Perhaps it was not the security of the Soviet Union that Stalin was most interested in. Stalin was interested in protecting a certain kind of Soviet Union, the kind of Soviet Union that he had created. He wanted to protect Stalinism. This was more important to him than the best of relations with the United States. Stalin still spoke of being at war with capitalism. He believed that another economic depression was coming in the capitalist economies. He had told Milovan Djilas of Yugoslavia that another war would come in twenty years or so with the anti-Communist West. He had stated his belief that the Soviet Union would recover by then, and he was looking forward to meeting that war with his brand of unity. To repeat a quote that I used in a previous chapter, Stalin had said to Djilas: "If the Slavs keep united and maintain solidarity, no one in the future will be able to move a finger against them. Not even a finger!"
CNN Cold War - Profile: Kim Il Sung Profile from the online companion to CNN's documentary series cold war. http://clinton.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cold.war/kbank/profiles/kim/
Extractions: a 4.0 browser and requires javascript Born into a peasant family on April 15, 1912, in Mangyondae, Korea, Kim Il Sung was still a child when his parents left Japan-occupied Korea for Manchuria. There Kim attended Chinese schools. In 1932, he became the leader of a small group of Korean partisans, which he led in various raids against Japanese outposts in Korea. In 1941, Kim fled Manchuria for the Soviet Far East. He next received military training in the Soviet Union. In 1945, Kim returned to his homeland as a major in the Soviet army. The Soviets put him in charge of the formation of a provisional system of government in Soviet-occupied Korea. In 1948, he became the first premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Strongly favoring national unification by military means, Kim's regime waged a guerrilla war against the South, and with strong Soviet support built up a large military. In 1950 Kim managed to get Stalin 's permission for an invasion of the South, which he launched on June 25. But it was only thanks to a massive Chinese intervention that Kim's regime survived the U.S.-led counteroffensive in fall 1950. In 1953, Kim and his Soviet and Chinese guardians chose to settle for half the country, but Kim never accepted the division of his country and until the end of his life continued efforts to overthrow the South Korean republic and kill its rulers. After 1953, Kim created an austere, militarized and highly regimented North Korean society that worshipped him as a deified leader. While officially extolling self-reliance, North Korea in reality relied heavily on Soviet and Chinese economic and military support. Kim's North Korea pursued many independent initiatives toward developing nations, often with the objective to undermine positions of the West. Since the 1970s, North Korea has been a major arms supplier to countries such as Libya, Iran and Syria.

U.S. And Japan After The Cold War The United States and Japan After the cold war. But in the aftermath of the cold war, both nations are reassessing their respective security postures. http://www.rand.org/publications/RB/RB7404/
Extractions: The close U.S.-Japan security relationship that has evolved since the end of World War II has benefited both nations. The United States has been able to anchor its East Asia military presence in Japan, aiding its efforts to contain communism and lending stability to the region. Japan has been able to focus on rebuilding its economy without devoting much concern or many resources to its own defense. But in the aftermath of the Cold War, both nations are reassessing their respective security postures. In The U.S.-Japan Security Relationship After the Cold War , Francis Fukuyama and Kongdan Oh, drawing on extensive interviews in Japan and on a range of English and Japanese publications, examine the Japanese appraisal of the U.S.-Japan security relationship and consider its implications for the United States. Although the reassessment may lead Japan to change many aspects of that relationship, both countries continue to value the basic arrangement. For its part, the United States needs to recognize Japan's status as an equal partner. A confluence of forces is driving Japan to reassess its security policy. Chief among them are the diminution of the former Soviet threat and the stinging international criticism Japan received for its halting response during the Persian Gulf War. Perhaps the most obvious ramification of the demise of the Soviet threat is that Japan has less need to rely on the United States as a guarantor of its security. This is not to say that Japan has no security challenges. Russia's military capabilities, although waning, are still formidable, and Japan has made no substantial rapprochement with that country. The continuing dispute over four small islands known in Japan as the Northern Territories has been a stumbling block to closer relations. Japan also sees other security challenges, including the nuclear threat posed by North Korea, a multination dispute over the Spratly Islands, and the burgeoning military capabilities in China.
