Chapter 1 NACA ORIGINS (1915-1930) In 1915, Congressional legislation created an Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The prefix "National" soon became customary, was officially adopted, and the familiar acronym NACA emerged as a widely recognized term among the aeronautics community in America. The genesis of what came to be known as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) occurred at a time of accelerating cultural and technological change. Only the year before, Robert Goddard began experiments in rocketry and the Panama Canal opened. Amidst the gathering whirlwind of the First World War, social change and technological transformation persisted. During 1915, the NACA's first year, Albert Einstein postulated his general theory of relativity and Margaret Sanger was jailed as the author of Family Limitation , the first popular book on birth control. Frederick Winslow Taylor, father of "Scientific Management," died, while disciples like Henry Ford were applying his ideas in the process of achieving prodigies of production. Ford produced his one millionth automobile the same year. In 1915, Alexander Graham Bell made the first transcontinental call, from New York to San Francisco, with his trusted colleague, Dr. Thomas A. Watson, on the other end of the line. Motion pictures began to reshape American entertainment habits, and New Orleans jazz began to make its indelible imprint on American music. At Sheepshead Bay, New York, a new speed record for automobiles was set, at 102.6 MPH, a figure that many fliers of the era would have been happy to match.

The relationship goes beyond merely understanding the historical context in which a book is set, and involves a close reading of both historical fact and literary convention.

Giving to the Department Heute geh ich. Komm ich wieder, / Singen wir ganz andre Lieder. / Wo so viel sich hoffen läßt, / Ist der Abschied ja ein Fest. Goethe Search: German at Berkeley: Past, Present, and Future A Long Tradition The turn of the century saw a marked advancement in German studies at Berkeley. Following the appointment of president Wheeler in 1899 and of German professor Hugo Schilling in 1901, the department began to flourish. By 1907, the German Department boasted 8 full time faculty members, student enrollment increased, and undergraduate and graduate course options expanded. In 1906, 25 students received the B.A. degree with a German major and two took the M.A. Degree. 1908 saw the first dissertation on a German topic at Berkeley. The decade beginning in 1910 was a period of transition for the Department as new appointments were made in the wake of several deaths and retirements. During and after WW I, student enrollment dropped sharply and the Department was critized for the supposed pro-German sentiments of some of its faculty. There was, however, a steady increase in student numbers in the late 1920s and 1930s, reaching a total of about 1,600 on the eve of World War II. The decline during the war years was more than offset immediately after the war; in 1946, no fewer than 2,172 students enrolled in German courses.

The Jazz Age Informational Page: The Automobile in the 1920s One important symbol in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is the automobile. It represents the reckless convictions of the flapper society. At the beginning of the novel, the reader hears Nick's account of a party where a car wrecks and chaos abounds. Further into the work, Daisy manipulates the automobile to serve her purposeto escape from Tom and Gatsby. As a result of her careless behavior, Myrtle Wilson dies. Myrtle, too, is reckless. Running in front of a moving vehicle that takes many feet of road to stop because it lacks our anti-lock, power brakes, Myrtle suffers the consequences of her irresponsibility. Daisy, as the driver of the automobile, does not suffer the consequences of her behavior. She hides behind Gatsby, knowing that she does not love him enough to make such a sacrifice for him. The automobile was a dangerous weapon in the hands of carefree, irresponsible people. It still is; Fitzgerald's lesson lives on.

var loc = "../../../"; Kurdistan was erased from the world's maps after World War I when the Allied Powers carved up the Middle East and denied the Kurds a nation-state. More than twenty million Kurds live in parts of Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria. Throughout the 20th century their struggles for political and cultural autonomy were opposed by the region's countries and the Kurds were often used as pawns in regional politics. The Kurds' plight most recently captured the world's attention in 1991 following the end of the Gulf War. Television around the world showed images of northern Iraq's Kurds fleeing Saddam Hussein's Iraq through the mountains of Turkey and Iran. Since the 1920s, negotiations between Iraq's Kurds and the government in Baghdad have always broken down over issues of Kurdish independence, and the Kurds' wish to control the oil-rich city of Kirkuk and to have their own militia. In America's dealings with Saddam Hussein and Iraq, Iraq's Kurds have been a tragic side show. For decades, they looked to the U.S. for support in their struggle against Saddam's government. Washington's response has been classic realpolitik - using the Kurds when it wanted to hurt Saddam and then dropping them when their usefulness had run out.

Origins of the Merritt Parkway The Name The Parkway is named for Congressman Schuyler Merritt, who long represented the southwestern part of Connecticut in the U.S. Congress and who championed the construction of a parkway to parallel U.S. Route 1. Said Merritt at the Merritt Parkway groundbreaking ceremony in July, 1934: This great highway is not being constructed primarily for rapid transit but for pleasant transit. This county [Fairfield County] is fortunate in having such beautiful backcountry and it is our great duty to see that these beauties are preserved. His words still resonate today. Purpose of the Merritt Parkway The primary purpose of the Merritt Parkway was to relieve traffic congestion in southwestern Connecticut, especially on U.S. Route 1, the Boston Post Road, which had become intolerably congested with motor vehicles following their post World War I proliferation. One of the oldest roads in the country, the Post Road was one of the most important traffic arteries between Boston and New York; it was also the most heavily traveled highway in Connecticut, carrying both commercial and passenger traffic. Connecting the industrial centers of New England with the port of New York, the Post Road was the primary route by which raw materials entered New England and finished products left it. Though a critical commercial corridor, the Post Road was also a major tourist route. As the "Gateway to New England" the Post Road carried a steady stream of passenger cars and buses destined for the resort communities that lined the coast in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

B A D E D I T O R I A L S Iraq's New English Studies Joe Lockard Sunday, May 11 2003, 09:05 PM Policy Studies , is one of the more egregious examples of this emergent wave of unapologetic defenses of colonialism and imperialism. One might have thought, after over a century of explicit anti-colonial literature, mass political movements throughout former Euro-American colonies, anti-colonial conflicts involving tens of millions dead, and the resounding triumph of anti-colonialism, that such nonsense would remain confined to a lunatic fringe incapable of the articulateness that Kurtz, Niall Ferguson and Daniel Kruger on the British side of the Atlantic, and other advocates of neo-imperialism can bring to bear. In the immediate aftermath of the Iraq invasion, however, an expanding class of right-wing US intellectuals is in the midst of servicing political needs to rationalize the establishment and maintenance of local rulers who putatively share those much over-estimated beliefs called 'Western values.' Yet that the same English language may be used to seriously promote an impossibly contradicted oxymoron such as 'democratic imperialism' speaks equally to its capacity to confuse as to communicate. With similar phrases being introduced into policy discussions, 'forked tongues' is now more than a Native American metaphor for Euro-American false promises; it describes a social phraseology that reduces democracy to a diminutive adjective and turns English language practice into the invention of lexical means to anti-democratic ends. The Victorian English that labored so long to encode a racial order within promissory phrases of civilizational progress has re-emerged as a global English that sugarcoats the political realities of imperial rule with promises of a democratic future. To learn English has become to learn the future, once again.
