2Mlle Libert était d'un caractère modeste et timide: elle communiquait volontiers ses découvertes aux savants qui l'encourageaient et qui lui semblaient seuls capables de les apprécier et de les publier. Elle ne croyait pas, tant sa réserve était profonde, qu'elle put elle-même prendre rang parmi les auteurs: elle aimait la science pour les émotions intimes qu'elle fait naître, comme on aime le bien pour éprouver le bonheur de le pratiquer (Morren 1868, p. 9).
3Miss Libert was of a modest and shy disposition; she readily communicated her discoveries to the scholars who encouraged her, and who alone seemed to her capable of appreciating and publishing them. She did not believe, so deep was her reserve, that she herself was able to rank among the authors: she loved science for the intimate emotions to which it gives birth, just as one can experience happiness by doing good.
5Libert maintained her reserve in regard to publishing until 1820, when she received another eminent botanical visitor at Malmedy, the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent (1778–1846) (Fig. 3). As a young man, Bory was a member of Nicolas Baudin's (1754–1803) exploring expedition to Australia in 1798 (although he left the expedition in Mauritius). On his return to France, Bory supported Napoleon and, as a consequence, was proscribed after the Bourbon Restoration in 1815.
6Moving frequently to avoid being captured by authorities, Bory was finally given permission to reside in Brussels, where he became gravely ill. In August 1820 he was advised to 'aller prendre les eaux' (take the waters), and opted for Chaudfontaine, between Liège and Spa, an area that he knew would also offer him opportunities to botanise, and to meet Libert. Afterwards he was happy to write to a friend that the trip had eased his gout, yielded a rich store of rare plants, and added that, 'Ces fanges de Malmedy sont bien curieuses' (the bogs of Malmedy are very curious) (Lauzun 1908, p. 224).
8According to Édouard Morren, Bory had been especially taken with the liverworts around Malmedy. Responding to this interest, Libert showed him a manuscript description of a new genus in this group that she had named for her first mentor, Lejeune (Lejeunia Lib.—now conserved with the spelling Lejeunea)1 (Morren 1868). As a co-editor of Annales générales des sciences physiques in Brussels, Bory was in a position to reassure Libert that her description was worthy of publication and to facilitate its appearance in his journal.
10Je dédie au savant et modeste auteur de la Flore de Spa, M. le docteur Lejeune de Verviers. J'ose espérer que les botanistes daigneront, en confirmant ce genre que je ferai connaître ici par anticipation, lui conserver un nom déjà distingué dans la science des végétaux (Libert 1820, pp. 373–4).
11I dedicate [the genus] to the learned and modest author of the Flore de Spa, Dr. Lejeune of Verviers. I dare to hope that botanists will deign, by confir-ming this genus that I will make known here in advance, to keep a name already distinguished in the science of plants.
12Nevertheless, as Pender observes in the context of early modern women authors, Libert's words can be seen as 'a calculated display of modesty' (Pender 2012). In venturing into print she was, in fact, daring to offer an original scientific opinion, and to associate her discovery with the name of an eminent scientist.
15Mademoiselle Libert en a découvert une espèce fort élégante dans les envi-rons de Malmédy; nous l'avons communiquée à Agardh qui lui a conservé le nom de Libertiae par lequel nous la désignâmes le premier (Bory de Saint-Vincent 1826).
16Mademoiselle Libert discovered a very elegant species of algae in the neighbourhood of Malmedy; we have communicated it to Agardh, who has kept the name of Libertiae, by which we first designated it.
17Most novel names coined by Libert among fungi were based on the host, but other eponyms named by her include the liverwort Jungermannia dumortieri Lib., for Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier, and the fungal genus Dezmazierella Lib. for Jean Baptiste Henri Joseph Desmazières. By honouring colleagues in new names, and being honoured in return, Libert was participating in a tradition of eponymy that had been established by Linnaeus at the commencement of modern binomial nomenclature (Garrison 1915; Maroske & May 2017, p. 72).
20Les descriptions les plus exactes et accompagnées des figures les plus parfaites laissent encore quelque chose à désirer à celui qui veut connaître complètement un être naturel. Ce quelque chose, que rien ne peut suppléer, ne s'obtient que par l'autopsie ou la vue de l'objet lui-même … (Candolle 1819, p. 316; Libert 1830).
23Keen to encourage Libert, Lejeune either agreed, or offered, to edit the exsiccata, an arrangement she was initially very pleased to countenance in order 'pour voir encore une fois nos noms figurer ensemble' (to see our names once again appearing together) (see Appendix 1). In December 1829, she sent him the manuscript of the first fascicle for feedback, and with a view to having him write a prospectus to advertise the work.
24In 1880, the botanist and mycologist Casimir Roumeguère (1828–1892) published two letters from Libert and Lejeune's exchanges about the first fascicle (Roumeguère 1880), and these are translated into English here for the first time. Those letters were also published by Lawalrée (1957), together with several other letters and documents. The first letter, written by Libert, constitutes a powerful contradiction of her carefully curated public image. In place of the language of deference, she rejects Lejeune's critique of her work as 'capable … de déplaire extrêmement' (extremely disagreeable). She accuses him of drawing attention to how little she knew a decade ago, suggesting that self-education and isolation may have led her to make mistakes, and that her specimens were vulnerable to plant-eating insects. In effect, her letter can be read as chiding Lejeune for taking the rhetoric of modesty too literally. 'Je le demande à tout homme sensé' (I ask any sensible man), she declared, abandoning her ground as a woman, 'pourrait-on parler d'un auteur, que l'on veut mépriser, sur un ton plus ironique' (could one speak of an author, whom one wants to despise, in a more ironic tone?).
26Il faut convenir que vous êtes d'une susceptibilité accablante pour un ami qui vous confie ce qui lui passe par la tête, à la vérité peut être trop brusquement, mais pensez donc qu'un homme qui pendant toute une journée épuise ses moyens physiques et moraux près des malades et de leurs alentours peut bien écrire à un ami philosophe, mais doit se garder dans cette disposition d'esprit d'écrire à un prince qui le protège, s'il ne veut courir les risques d'entrer en disgrâce! (Appendix 2).
27It must be acknowledged that you are excruciatingly sensitive towards a friend who sends you what passes through his mind, to tell the truth [,] perhaps too bluntly, but think however that a man, who every day expends all his physical and emotional energies in the presence of the sick and their surroundings, cannot well write to a scientific friend, but must put himself in the spirit of writing to a prince patron, if he does not wish to risk falling into disgrace.
28In publishing these two letters Roumeguère insisted that Libert's expression of forceful rhetoric was an aberration in a relationship with Lejeune that lasted nearly half a century: 'On est étonné de voir sortir de sa plume un tel flot de mauvaise humeur, qu'un écart regrettable de langage, qu'une restriction injuste et trop hatée semblent cependant très-bien excuser.' (One is astonished to see such a flow of bad humour come out of her pen, which a regrettable difference of language and which an unfair and too hasty judgement [by Lejeune] seem however to excuse) (Roumeguère 1880). This statement, however, is contradicted by Lejeune himself who hints at ongoing tensions in his letter: 'Depuis 15 ans, vous m'accablez chaque fois que vous me donnez une de vos découvertes en me recommandant de ne pas vous tromper, de garder cela en silence' (For fifteen years, each time that you give me one of your discoveries, you importune me not to deceive you, [and] to keep them secret.) (Appendix 2). Moreover, Roumeguère's decision to publish Libert's angry letter meant that doubts about her modesty were now on the public record.
29Establishing the impact of Roumeguère's disclosures on the private opinions of cryptogamic colleagues about Libert's character is beyond the scope of this article. Nevertheless, the historian Joseph Beaujean found enough evidence during his researches into Belgian botanists to conclude that Libert had many disputes with Lejeune, attributing them to her not having an easy personality (Beaujean n.d.). Libert's letter in Appendix 1, however, suggests that she was angry with Lejeune because his emphasis on her isolation from scientific centres and her lack of formal education had the potential to undermine her reputation for being talented and sales of her exsiccata. A letter from Libert to Desmazières, written end 1828, already showed the sometimes tense triangular relationships between the Malmedian botanist, and her mentors (Lawalrée 1955).
31Between 1830 and 1837, Libert issued four fascicles of her exsiccata Plantae cryptogamicae Arduenna, each with one hundred specimens. In these published fascicles, Libert introduced more than 200 new taxa, including numerous new species and the genera Ascochyta Lib. (in which she introduced 34 species), Aulographum Lib., Cheilaria Lib., Discosia Lib. and Dothichiza Lib., and consequently many of the sheets in the exsiccata are type specimens. We have located 25 sets of her exsiccata (Table 1); with MEL being the only repository in the southern hemisphere.
33TL2 = Stafleu & Cowan (1981). For locations indicated by Mel'nik (2000), species of Ascochyta from Libert's exsiccata are cited as being in the respective herbaria, but confirmation is required that the whole set is present. Because her exsiccata contains a mixture of taxonomic groups, some sets may be split between present-day botanical and mycological institutions, as appears to be the case for DAO and DAOM, and possibly for US and BPI.
34The new taxa are accompanied by descriptions on the labels, meaning that the new names are published in the exsiccata. Scanned images of collections from Plantae cryptogamicae Arduenna are available at JSTOR Global Plants (Anon n.d.d), for a limited number of sheets from the sets at G, MEL and US. Labels usually include, along with the name and description, the name of the exsiccata as printed text, along with the fascicle number and date, but for collections of the first three fascicles in MEL, there is a pencil annotation 'Ardennes, M.A. Libert' and the date, also in pencil (Figs 4, 5).
35FIG. 4. – MEL specimen of Ascochyta padi Lib., Pl. Crypt. Arduenna. No. 153 (Reproduced with permission from the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria).
36FIG. 5 – MEL specimen of Campylopus arduennae Lib., Pl. Crypt. Arduenna. No. 106 (Reproduced with permission from the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria).
37Specimens from the last fascicle at MEL have the name of the exsiccata on the printed label (Fig. 6). We note that there is some variation in the printed labels, with two examples of No. 43, Sphaeria asteromorpha Lib., held at G (G 266344 and G 266345) differing in the layout of the text of the description.
39Libert is known to have collected material for further fascicles, preparing descriptions under unpublished names, but these fascicles did not eventuate. Libert's obituarists lamented her inability to complete the Plantae cryptogamicae Arduenna, but did not offer any explanation (Dumortier 1865, p. 407; Roumeguère 1880). Libert's herbarium is now at BR, from which remaining specimens were distributed as 'Reliquae Libertianae' (see Stafleu and Cowan 1981, p. 6). Many of the remaining novelties in Libert's herbarium were subsequently described after her death by Casimir Roumeguère (1828–1892), Pier Andrea Saccardo (1845–1920) and Felix von Thümen (1839–1892) in a series called Reliquae Libertianae (see Roumeguère 1880). There were sufficient duplicates for von Thümen to include Libert material in his exsiccata Mycotheca Universalis.
1 The spelling as used by Libert, Lejeunia is allowable under the Code (Turland et al. 2018), because it was based on the latinization Lejeunius. Nevertheless, the name was altered to Lejeunea by most botanists from the late nineteenth century, and this latter spelling has also been used to form compounded names for more than 80 genera, as in Amblyolejeunea Jov.-Branch. This situation prompted Grolle (1973) to propose conservation of the name with the spelling Lejeunea, which was accepted.
2 Further research is required to establish whether or not Bory mentions Libert in his unpublished letters (Lacroix 1916, p. LVI).
3 Leptomitus libertiae C. Agardh is now known as Leptomitus lacteus C. Agardh, a fungus-like organism in the Kingdom Chromista.
4 Libert had also received a copy of the Mémoire sur les lichens calicoïdes. Première partie. Description des genres limboria et cyphelium. Par Erik Acharius. Traduit du suédois par Auguste Le Prevost from Desmazières, with the following dedication "A Melle Libert, de la part de son dévoué serviteur et ami, H. Desmaziere [sic]" (To Miss Libert, from her devoted servant and friend) (Federal collection Meise Botanic Garden, inv. no. 5324).

50-Somethings Advised to Calculate Their 'Long-Term Care Savings Gap'
If it's too big, it jeopardizes retirement dreams, but there are options, reports Kevin Bressler, an expert in the area
Wayne, PA October 27, 2015 – Most Americans are poorly prepared to pay for long-term care costs, but there's a two-step fix, according to Kevin Bressler, a Wayne-based agent with ACSIA Partners LLC, a leading long-term care insurance agency.
It starts by learning if there's a gap, and how big, between your ability to pay and your likely future expenses.
For most Americans there is indeed a gap. According to a May 2015 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), 52 percent of households age 55 and older have no savings for retirement (let alone long-term care). If you're among the 48 percent with some retirement savings, you may be prepared to cover some, but not all, of your probable LTC tab.
"Step one," says Bressler, "is to see if you have a gap, and how big." Doing so can take less than five minutes. For a rough estimate, Bressler recommends entering a few facts into a calculator provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: http://longtermcare.gov/savings-calculator/.
Here's a sample calculation for a 52-year old woman planning to retire in Florida, who could afford to set aside $300 (earning 4 percent interest) per month starting now. She would have a long-term care savings gap of $652,184, based on $839,263 in projected care costs in Florida, for life remaining after age 65, minus $187,079 in accumulated savings, as determined by government data and assumptions.
If the woman were married, there would likely be a similar gap for her partner.
Once you know you've got a gap, "the next step is just as simple and almost as quick," says Bressler. "Ask a state-certified long-term care agent to help you explore your options." This can be done by phone or online. An in-person meeting is optional.
Kevin Bressler is a leading long-term care agent serving consumers and organizations in DC, DE, IA, IL, MA, NC, NJ, NM, PA. "We're glad to help them find the best, most affordable solution for their situation," Bressler says. "In addition to long-term care insurance, today's options range from critical illness insurance to annuities and life insurance with LTC riders."

Getting into GEAR to remember Bobby Moore
Blowing Bubbles Monthly Editor David Blackmore is gearing up to take on another challenge to raise money for the Bobby Moore Fund.
David will take part in the 10km Grand East Anglia Run (GEAR) on May 1, and is training hard to make sure he beats his previous best time of 46 minutes and 12 seconds.
GEAR organisers decided to award David the race number 1966 after hearing he wanted to run it in memory of Bobby Moore, and to mark the 50th anniversary of the footballing legend holding aloft the World Cup.
David's connection to the cause is not just the obvious claret and blue one – he has previously fundraised and volunteered for the Bobby Moore Fund on school building projects in South Africa (2010) and Namibia (2011).
With it being five decades since England beat Germany to win the World Cup for the first time, David hopes to raise £196.6 for the charity.
You can make a financial pledge by texting BBFB66 £5 (or any amount you wish) to 70070, or by visiting http://tinyurl.com/jxhujog.
"I've got first-hand experience of the work the Bobby Moore Fund does, and how it can utterly transform people's lives, and give them an opportunity which they might never get otherwise," David explained.
"Bobby left an unparalleled legacy at West Ham, and also with England. By taking part in GEAR, this is another chance for me to help the charity leave a lasting legacy too – by changing the lives of other people, and helping bring about an end to the curse of cancer."
David would also like people to help raise more awareness and cash for the Bobby Moore Fund by showing their support for his magazine's Blowing Bubbles for Bobby campaign. which has received the backing of internationally acclaimed writer Irvine Welsh, actress Danniella Westbrook, TV presenter Matthew Wright.
All you need to do is film yourself blowing bubbles in an imaginative and unlikely place, call out five friends to do the same, explain how people can donate by texting BBFB66 £5 to 70070, and upload your video to your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube account and help spread the news about this fundraising drive.
Editor: The final few miles are always the most gruelling of them all...
West Ham and I have something in common - we're both working towards an end goal that will arrive next month.
When May 10 arrives to herald the final game at the Boleyn, I hope to be celebrating raising a substantial amount for the Bobby Moore Fund having completed the Grand East Anglia Run on May 1.
I've been a keen supporter of the charity for the past seven years and with it being 50 years since Bobby captained England to World Cup glory, I thought it would be nice to mark this anniversary by taking part in this popular annual event in Norfolk.

TURF is an acronym that stands for Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency. This research technique originated in advertising and media research as a tool to maximize the number of people (i.e., Reach) who would be exposed to an advertisement per unit of cost. By analyzing the overlap between mailing or subscription lists, those lists with the lowest percent of overlap are identified. By comparing the number of non-duplicated people (i.e., Total Unduplicated) to the list costs, the most economical method of reaching the largest number of people can be calculated.
TURF Analysis is very useful for market research as well, especially when used to optimize potential product or promotional offerings. Instead of examining duplication across lists or other media sources, purchase intent scores are analyzed for a series of promotional offers or product elements (flavors, sizes, etc). By optimizing the unduplicated purchase intent of potential products or line extensions, the largest number of consumers can be appealed to with the fewest number of products or offers. TURF Analysis can also take into account different cost structures to produce the products, and help to optimize the profitability of a line extension or brand family.

Samsung Electronics upbeat on chip outlook as third-quarter profit falls 56%
FILE PHOTO: The logo of Samsung Electronics is seen at its office building in Seoul, South Korea, July 4, 2017. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji
SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said chip sales should pick up in 2020 as it reported a 56% fall in third-quarter operating profit on Thursday, reeling from memory price declines amid a prolonged industry downturn.
Samsung said there were positive signs for the chip outlook thanks to anticipated demand from data-centre customers and the continuing expansion of 5G smartphones.
But the South Korean tech giant warned that prospects for 2020 should be viewed with caution as uncertainties remained in the macroeconomic environment, a likely reference to the future of U.S.-China trade relations.
The world's top maker of memory chips and smartphones said operating profit was 7.8 trillion won ($6.7 billion), slightly above the 7.7 trillion won estimate the company released earlier. Revenue fell 5.3% to 62 trillion won, in line with its earlier estimates.
Samsung's profit has slumped on-year for four consecutive quarters and it is expected to fall again in the current quarter, analysts say.
Earlier this month its cross-town chip rival SK Hynix said 5G-enabled smartphones should help lift the global memory market out of the doldrums next year.
Analysts say strong smartphone sales cushioned the profit fall, with U.S. sanctions on Huawei Technologies effectively barring U.S. firms from supplying the Chinese competitor.
Samsung said its mobile business posted a 32% rise in operating profit to 2.9 trillion won in the third quarter.

Barb, as she was known to her family and friends, was born Dec. 10, 1957, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Marvin and Lois (Martin) Richter. The second of five children, she attended grade school in Silver City, Iowa, and graduated from Glenwood High School in 1976. She went on to attend Northwest Missouri State University, where she majored in fine arts. After working as a graphic designer, Barb was intrigued by engineering and subsequently attended the University of Nebraska – Omaha. There, she received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in civil engineering, with a focus in environmental engineering. In 1988 Barb moved to Corvallis, Oregon, for a job with CH2M HILL (now Jacobs), where she was employed for over 30 years. On March 20, 1993, she married Tom Engleson, whom she met at CH2M HILL, at their home in Corvallis. They had one daughter, Renee.
Barb had a variety of roles with CH2M Hill, including Process Engineer, Department Manager, Staffing Manager and Design Manager. Barb was a contributor and manager for projects around the globe, including water and wastewater projects in Singapore, England, Canada, Puerto Rico and dozens of projects across the nation. Barb was an outstanding engineer and manager, but she most enjoyed acting as a mentor to young engineers and encouraging others to stretch and develop their careers and interests. She will be remembered for her calm, confident management style and strong work ethic. Her legacy will continue with the many co-workers with whom she shared her gifts as an engineer, manager and friend, and the communities with improved access to clean water.
Outside of work, Barb's many passions included running, traveling, the arts, gardening, walking her beloved dogs and exploring the Oregon outdoors. She loved running in McDonald Forest and completed the Boston Marathon twice. Barb was a volunteer at the Whiteside Theatre, and enjoyed attending plays and concerts. Barb enjoyed sketching and painting and kept an easel and watercolors at the ready. Shortly after moving to Corvallis, she learned to play the violin and for many years played with the Pro Musica Corvallis String Orchestra.
Barb inherited a love of travel from her parents, and visited Europe, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Mexico, Canada and Hawaii with family and friends. She loved taking her dogs to the Oregon Coast, and made frequent hiking and ski trips to Central Oregon and the Cascades. Her family farm in Iowa remained a special place to catch up with family and friends.
Barb was a wonderful mother, sister, wife and friend. She cared about all the people in her life and went out of her way to ensure people were respected and their unique talents honored. She was patient and kind, but also had high standards for herself and others, which spurred those around her to do their best.
Barb is survived by her husband, Tom, of Corvallis; one daughter, Renee, of Portland, Oregon; father, Marvin Richter, of Silver City, Iowa; three sisters, Carol and husband Greg Reeder, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Shari and husband John Gregory, of Glenwood, Iowa, Linda and husband Tom Gomez, of Treynor, Iowa; one brother, Martin and wife Jackie Richter, of Mineola, Iowa; many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Her mother, Lois Richter, preceded her in death.
A celebration of life service will be held Saturday, August 31, at the United Methodist Church, Silver City, Iowa, with a lunch and fellowship following. Inurnment will be in the Silver City Cemetery. Another Celebration of Life will be held in Corvallis, Oregon at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park pavilion on October 12 from 2 to 5 p.m. Memorials may be offered to Lumina Hospice and Palliative Care and the Vina Moses Center.

9) The utter collapse of logic, reason and rationality, to the point where nearly half the population of America's youth now believe that men can get pregnant and that chromosomes have nothing at all to do with gender. The very ability of mankind to reason is under constant attack and now all but obliterated.
Ask yourself this question: Who or what would pursue an anti-human agenda for our planet? Your answer is found in that question, because the answer is most definitely not human.
In summary, Earth is now undergoing the beginning stages of a cosmic ethnic cleansing operation. Humankind has failed the cosmic IQ test and will be eliminated in order to protect the asset of Earth, including all its other sentient life forms which may be given their own chance to "own" the planet over the next few million years.
∫∫∫ While I agree with the overall gist of the article there are two things to consider: 1)Humans progress as individuals, not as a group. 2)Earth (or any planet for that matter) is a living entity with a consciousness as well.

2019 September Issue Wins Award as Best Special Issue!
We are extremely delighted and proud to share the news that the 2019 special issue of American Quarterly, "Origins of Biopolitics in the Americas," guest edited by Greta LaFleur and Kyla Schuller, won the 2020 Council of Editors of Learned Journals Award in the Best Special Issue category! The award was announced at the MLA annual meeting on January 9, 2021. Here is the judges' citation for the award:
"Origins of Biopolitics in the Americas" is likely to be of broad interest to academics working in a variety of fields and time periods. Focused on the early Americas, it addresses race, gender, and science in the context of humanities scholarship. The essays go beyond typical scholarship on the early Americas, including research that addresses the experiences of Native Americans, Blacks, and Asians. The special issue builds on important theoretical contributions by Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, and Achille Mbembe. The editors and authors examine "differential valuations of life" in the early Americas, topics with particular resonance today. Another unique and important contribution of this special issue is that it posits a biopolitics from below and one situated in the early Americas, speaking from the margins instead of the center, and positing the emergence of these important ideas in an earlier era. By translating this body of theory from Europe to the colonies, the editors and authors shift previous theoretical engagement from nation to the larger geopolitical sphere. The special issue concludes with a Forum of shorter, experimental, more speculative pieces, including short essays that address archival issues. The committee was impressed by the theoretical sophistication of this issue, the importance of the contributions to the study of US history, and their potential to significantly shift discussion of biopolitics beyond the field of the early Americas. In conclusion, we found this issue of American Quarterly to be exceptional, setting the highest standards for scholarly excellence in its timely focus on biopolitics in the Americas, a topic of broad academic interest due to its relevance today.
We are happy that this important work is getting scholarly and professional recognition and thank the groundbreaking vision and tireless work of Greta LaFleur and Kyla Schuller in putting together this important collection.
We would like to wish a warm congratulations to AQ contributors Mike Taylor and Terence Wride! Their article, "'Indian Kids Can't Write Sonnets': Re-membering the Poetry of Henry Tinhorn from the Intermountain Indian School", published in our March 2020 issue, received an honorable mention for the 1921 Prize for Best Article in American Literature in the untenured/contingent faculty category.

Recently, Julie Sze and Sunaina Maira, the authors of a 2012 American Quarterly "Currents" contribution titled "Dispatches from Pepper Spray University: Privatization, Repression, and Revolts," were contacted by the former chancellor of the University of California at Davis, Linda Katehi, under whose authority the pepper spraying of student protesters took place.1 Katehi alleged that aspects of the essay were faulty and defamatory. Additionally, Katehi contacted Johns Hopkins University Press, questioning the scholarly integrity of the journal. American Quarterly publishes errata on factual errors found since publication but as a general principle does not publish readers' responses to contents of the journal, as we believe there are many other venues in which scholarly debates over published materials can take place. However, given the seriousness of the charges, we asked Sze and Maira to respond.
Statement by Julie Sze and Sunaina Maira
We thank Linda Katehi for pointing out the factual error in our 2012 piece and for a chance to reaffirm our fundamental argument about privatization, repression, and revolts as well as the global contexts in which struggles against austerity and student protests take place.
In her correspondence to the authors and the journal, Katehi pointed out that the International Committee on Higher Education in Greece that she served on and which we cited in the AQ piece did not make a specific claim about amnesty or the asylum law that prevents police from entering Greek universities. She is correct, and we apologize for that specific error.
Although the International Committee on Higher Education in Greece report did not make a particular claim about amnesty, its findings on the culture of campuses remain of interest to us as scholars. The report reads: "Greek university campuses are not secure. While the Constitution allows University leaders to protect campuses against elements that seek political instability, Rectors have been reluctant to exercise their rights and responsibilities, and to make decisions needed in order to keep faculty, staff and students safe."2
Greece has been an important node in the global circuit of student protests for democracy and against austerity. As we note in our essay, the asylum law for Greek universities was a response to the 1973 student protests at Athens Polytechnic against the CIA-backed military junta. On December 8, 2008, a fifteen-year-old student was killed by police in the Exarchia neighborhood in Athens, sparking an uprising by students and youth across Greece and solidarity demonstrations around the world—an event commemorated annually in Greece. In 2011 the repeal of the asylum law passed in Greece in the context of anti-austerity activism and its repression.3 It was later reinstated and is now under pressure.4 The crux of our 2012 reflection, written just months after the violent pepper spraying of students on our campus, was pivoted on the language and ideology of "security" and "safety."
Privatization and revolts are globally networked. So, too, are struggles for justice and freedom, often driven and led by students. In 2019 various global uprisings, from Chile to Hong Kong, show how campuses are often the front line of struggles for freedom and against authoritarianism. We apologize for the error about the International Committee on Higher Education report, but we stand behind the rest of the piece. Since the piece was published, the global authoritarian turn, and its attack on universities, demands no less of a defense, and the honesty and accountability of university administrators to students at public universities does matter, as do questions about the policing and militarization of campuses.

Services in Staines for Trident crash 40th anniversary
THE 40th anniversary of England's worst air disaster was marked in Staines on Monday with services to remember the 118 people who died.
Chris Caulfield
THE 40th anniversary of England's worst air disaster was marked in Staines on Monday (June 18) with two memorial services to remember the 118 people who lost their lives.
The Trident G-ARPI, known by its call sign of Papa India, crashed in what is now the memorial ground at Moormede recreation ground on Sunday, June 18 in 1972 at 4.11pm, killing everyone on board.
The aircraft was two-and-a-half minutes into its flight from Heathrow to Brussels when it crashed after stalling during take-off.
Prayers recognising the 40th anniversary were said at the crash site on Monday at 10am and 11am followed by services at St Mary's Church in Vicarage Road.
Father Rod Cosh has been the vicar at St Mary's since 2000 and was one of the main organisers behind the remembrance services.
Since 2004, with the support of British Airways and former councillor John O'Hara, the church has held an annual memorial on the anniversary of the crash.
Father Cosh, speaking about Monday's services, said: "They went beautifully. There were more than 200 people at the services and the Bishop of Guildford, the Right Reverend Christopher Hill, provided a very sombre and powerful sermon. Everybody seemed to have been moved by the services.
"They are very important as we found there was a real call for them and they give people the chance to grieve and to grieve together with people who have lost someone in the disaster."

Delivers Keynote address at a Seminar cum Interactive Session on the theme "Youth Contribution to India @ 100" organised by the University of Jammu
Mantra for youth in 21st Century Aspirational India is- "Aspire, Innovate and Compete": Dr Jitendra Singh
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; Minister of State (Independent Charge) Earth Sciences; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said here today that 21st century opportunities can't be availed with 20th century mindset. For the youth who have active years ahead, it is important to cultivate the right mindset to be able to avail of the amazing new opportunities unfolding in 21st century India, he said.
Delivering the Keynote address at a Seminar cum Interactive Session on the theme "Youth Contribution to India @ 100" organised by the University of Jammu at Zorawar Singh Auditorium here today to mark "Amrit Mahotsava", Dr Jitendra Singh said that unless the mindset is reoriented, new avenues will not yield optimum outcomes. In the highly aspirational India of today, the current Mantra for the youth is "Aspire,Innovate and Compete", he said.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, no government in the world can provide a government job to every youth but a responsible government like the one headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has undertaken several initiatives to provide avenues of livelihood which are even more lucrative than a government job. But to avail of these avenues, the youth need to liberate their mindset from the clutches of government job. For this, he said, the parents also need to be educated and at the same time, the politicians and leaders also need to restrain themselves from giving false assurances of government jobs.
India is celebrating the 75th years of its independence and it is time to lay down the road map for the next 25 years before independent India turns 100, Dr Jitendra Singh said. It is a proud privilege and opportunity for the youth of India today to be able to contribute to the making of India when it turns 100 in 2047 and stands as a frontline nation in the world community.
The greatest advantage for the youth today, said Dr Jitendra Singh, is that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has made rapid strides which the entire world acknowledges and today India is seen as a force to reckon with. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been universally and unanimously acknowledged as the most influential and popular Head of State anywhere in the world, he added.
Every generation of youth, said Dr Jitendra Singh, has a contribution to make and the nature of this contribution is determined by the era in which he is born and the mindset through which the nation is going through. Therefore, he said, at the time of independence the youth of that era were entrusted with the challenge of sustaining the independence of India and stabilizing it as a progressive democratic nation at a time when several democracies of the world were collapsing and the Prophets of doom including Sir Winston Churchill had predicted that India as a democracy did not have the capacity to survive even for 50 years. Today, on the other hand, the youth of 2021 owes the responsibility of sustaining what India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has achieved in the last 7 years and made up for the lapses of the past 70 years, he said.
Describing the Indian youth today as privileged one, Dr Jitendra Singh said, they have the unique opportunity to contribute the next active years of life to the making of india @ 100 and to be able to tell their children that they too were, to a bigger or a smaller extent, architects of new India at 100.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, today India is already ahead of all other nations in space technology, innovation, bio technology and COVID has established our enormous capacity not only by coming up with the first ever DNA vaccine but also manufacturing enough Vaccine to export to other countries. The next 25 years will therefore expect the youth of this generation to establish the insurmountable supremacy of India for the following generations to come, he added.
The presentation by Dr Jitendra Singh was followed by a lively interaction which lasted nearly two hours and in which scholars, students and researchers from different departments and streams participated. Dr Jitendra Singh responded in detail to each of the participants and described the interaction as a highly enriching and mutually learning experience.
Vice Chancellor of Jammu University, Professor Manoj Kumar Dhar delivered the Welcome Address while Professor Naresh Padha presented the Vote of Thanks. Professor Rajni Dhingra also spoke on the occasion. The interactive session was compered and conducted by Rajni Sharma.

Busted Axle Road
Copyright© 1993, 2001, 2010
Mark Gravengood got home early Tuesday evening. The lights were still on out in the shop, so it was pretty clear that Jackie was out there, working on a sign.
It proved to be the case. The computerized vinyl cutter was singing as he walked in the door. "What's the situation on supper?" he asked.
"At least an hour," his tall, brunette wife said. "Unless you want to make it yourself. Clark Plywood has been dinking around on this sign for their show booth for two months, and now they want it yesterday."
"Doesn't surprise me," Mark said. "Anything for me?"
"You want to call Frank Matson. He's getting some kind of goofy intercept when he boots up his 8086. Something to do with the CONFIG.SYS file."
"Probably nothing major," Mark said thoughtfully. "Home computer, or at the bank?"
"Home computer, he wants you to call him this evening," Jackie said.
"Well, nuts," Mark said. "If I go over to Point Drive and screw around for an hour, it'll be too dark to take a run. I'll call him after supper."
"I ought to go with you," Jackie commented, "But I've got to get this sign done and over to the Clark office, so they can take it to Camden."
"Well, all right," Mark said. "I'll see you in an hour or so." He went into the house, took off the phone company uniform, and pulled on his sweats. It was kind of muddy to be running up the trail, but it was muddy going up the road, too.
Mark was not a fanatic jogger, one that had to get his miles in, no matter what the weather. Neither was Jackie, for that matter; in fact, both disliked it, but saw it as a necessary evil, at best. Perhaps five years before, on a trail work trip, they had come to realize that they weren't in the shape that they once were.
It hadn't taken much to see what the problem was. Mark's work was pretty sedentary, mostly with a test kit or a soldering iron. With the exception of backpacking and trail work, his avocations were pretty sedentary, too. He loved amateur astronomy; he'd been a pilot for many years, but that was a sit down thing that only rarely brought the heart rate up, although when it did it was a corker. Since home computers had started to make their appearance in Spearfish Lake, he had been recognized as the local resident expert, even though he saw his sales and service business mostly as a hobby, too. Jackie's sign business, along with flying and astronomy and a little bit of computers, too, didn't exactly qualify as a high-exercise lifestyle. It was obvious that they needed to make a conscious effort to keep in shape, and jogging seemed to be the most time-efficient way of doing it, if not the most enjoyable.
Mark went out onto the porch of the old stone farmhouse he and Jackie had rebuilt, and did a little stretching before he lazily started down the airstrip in back of the barn, heading in the direction of the trail. There was one thing to be said for jogging slowly, mindlessly through the woods: it gave him a chance to think.
The conversation about dog sled racing at the Spearfish Lake Cafe the week before had kept coming back to him. The thought of running a dog team appealed to him. Why it should be that, he wasn't sure, but one thing had been clear: it was time for something new, and it certainly was a candidate.
He assessed the airstrip as he jogged down the length of it. It was firming up nicely, and given a couple of warm, windy days, it could be used again. They tried to avoid putting ruts in it during spring breakup, but that was pretty much over, now. He'd taken the skis off Rocinante over the weekend, and put the wheels back on; it wouldn't be much longer, now.
At the far end of the airstrip, he turned onto the trail. There weren't even a lot of challenges left there, he thought.
Back when he and Jackie had been on their "honeymoon" -- it had lasted eight months and ended, rather than started, with their getting married -- they had spent a week doing trail maintenance on the Appalachian Trail. The crew leader had been an interesting old guy from Michigan named Vince, and they'd had a good time. If Vince had seemed old to them back in 1971, then he'd seemed positively the ancient of days when he'd knocked on their door ten years later. It had been mutual surprise all around that they remembered each other, and it opened the door for what Vince had really wanted: there was a new trail being constructed between New York and North Dakota, called the North Country Trail, and Mark and Jackie's farm occupied a critical half-mile separating two sections of state forest land. Not only had Vince walked away with permission for the trail to cross Mark and Jackie's property, he'd gotten their agreement to maintain and build a seven-mile segment of it.
