With historians heavily involved in either defending or damning the war in Iraq, it might be good time to ponder the case of Viscount James Bryce, the historian who sold out.
From the start of World War I, stories of German atrocities filled British and American newspapers. Most emanated from the German march through Belgium to outflank French defenses in their drive on Paris. Eyewitnesses described infantrymen spearing Belgian babies on their bayonets as they marched along, singing war songs. Accounts of Belgian boys with amputated hands (supposedly to prevent them from using guns) abounded. Tales of women with amputated breasts multiplied even faster.
At the top of the atrocity hit parade were rape stories. One eyewitness claimed the Germans dragged twenty young women out of their houses in a captured Belgian town and stretched them on tables in the village square, where each was violated by at least twelve "Huns" while the rest of the division watched and cheered. At British expense, a group of Belgians toured the United States telling these stories. President Woodrow Wilson solemnly received them in the White House.
The Germans angrily denied these stories. So did American reporters with the German army. Early in 1915, the British government asked Viscount Bryce to head a royal commission to investigate the atrocity reports. Bryce was one of the best known historians of the era; he had written widely praised books on the American government and on Irish history, sympathetically portraying the Gaels hard lot under British rule. In 1907, he had collaborated with an Anglo-Irish diplomat, Roger Casement, to expose horrendous exploitation of Indian peoples on the Amazon by a British rubber company. From 1907-1913, he had served as British ambassador in Washington, where he became a popular, even beloved figure. It would have been hard to find a more admired scholar.
Bryce and his six fellow commissioners, an amalgam of distinguished lawyers, historians and jurists, "analyzed" 1,200 depositions of eyewitnesses who claimed to have seen atrocious German behavior. Almost all the testimony came from Belgians who had fled to England as refugees; some were statements from Belgian and British soldiers, collected in France. The commissioners never interrogated one of these eyewitnesses; that task was left to "gentlemen of legal knowledge and experience" -- lawyers. Since the asserted crimes took place in what continued to be a war zone, there was no on site investigation of any report.
Not a single witness was identified by name; the commissioners said this was justified in the case of Belgians by the fear that there might be German reprisals against family members. But British soldier witnesses remained equally anonymous, for no apparent reason. Nevertheless in his introduction, Bryce said he and his fellow commissioners had tested the evidence "severely."
The Bryce Report was released on May 13, 1915. British propaganda headquarters in Wellington House, near Buckingham Palace, made sure it went to virtually every newspaper in America. The impact was stupendous, as the headline and subheads in the New York Times make clear.

On May 27, 1915, Wellington House operatives in America reported to London: "Even in papers hostile to the Allies, there is not the slightest attempt to impugn the correctness of the facts alleged. Lord Bryce's prestige in America put skepticism out of the question." Charles Masterman, the head of Wellington House, told Bryce: "Your report has swept America."
Among the few critics of the Bryce Report was Sir Roger Casement. "It is only necessary to turn to James Bryce, the historian, to convict Lord Bryce, the partisan," Casement wrote in a furious essay, "The Far Extended Baleful Power of the Lie." By this time Casement had become an advocate of Irish independence. Few people paid any attention to his dissent, which was dismissed as biased. Clarence Darrow, the famously iconoclastic American lawyer, who specialized in winning acquittals for seemingly guilty clients, was another skeptic. He went to France later in 1915 and searched in vain for a single eyewitness who could confirm even one of the Bryce stories. Increasingly dubious, Darrow announced he would pay $1,000, a very large sum in 1915 -- more than $17,000 in 21st Century money -- to anyone who could produce a Belgian or French boy whose hands had been amputated by a German soldier. There were no takers.
After the war, historians who sought to examine the documentation for Bryce's stories were told that the files had mysteriously disappeared. This blatant evasion prompted most historians to dismiss 99 percent of Bryce's atrocities as fabrications. One called the report "in itself one of the worst atrocities of the war."
More recent scholarship has scaled down the percentage of the Bryce Report's fabrications; several thousand Belgian civilians, including some women and children, were apparently shot by the Germans in the summer of 1914 and Bryce more or less accurately summarized some of the worst excesses, such as the executions in the town of Dinant. But even these latter day scholars admit Bryce's report was seriously "contaminated" by the rapes, amputations and speared babies. They blamed this lapse on hysteria and war rage. This amounts to giving Bryce a free pass.
Correspondence between the members of the Bryce committee survived the destruction of the documents; it reveals severe doubts about the tales of mutilation and rape. One of the committee's secretaries admitted that he had been given numerous English addresses of Belgian women supposedly made pregnant by German rapes but could not locate a single case. Even the story of a member of Parliament sheltering two pregnant women turned out to be fraudulent. Bryce apparently brushed aside this negative evidence.
Lord Bryce the scholar should have known -- and almost certainly did know - -that tales of spearing babies and cutting off the breasts of murdered women were standard "hate-this-enemy" fables hundreds of years old, So were mass rapes in fields and public squares. He should have rejected such fabrications out of hand. Instead, he lumped them all into a general condemnation of the German army and people.
Why didn't Bryce dismiss the fabrications and concentrate on the German executions of civilians? Because that opened a very sticky subject. A high percentage of the Belgian Army were "home guards" who wore no uniforms except for an insignia pinned to their shirts or hats. The Germans, desperately trying to win in the West before the invading Russian Army smashed through their lightly held lines in the East, were infuriated by these seemingly civilian combatants, and showed them no mercy. They were entitled to do so by the rules of war in 1914. Some German field commanders obviously lost their heads and retaliated excessively against whole towns, such as Dinant. But a defense of sorts could be mounted, even for these men. The ensuing debate would have produced yawns in newspaper readers. They wanted what Bryce gave them -- blood and lust and horror.
The Bryce Report unquestionably helped England win the war. It convinced millions of Americans and other neutrals -- it was translated into 27 languages -- that the Germans were beasts in human form. No one except a few outsiders such as Casement ever reproached Lord Bryce for these vicious lies. He went to his grave loaded with royal and academic honors.
From a perspective of a hundred years, we ought to take a harsher view. The Bryce Report has obvious connections to the British decision to maintain the blockade of Germany for seven months after the armistice in 1918, causing the starvation deaths of an estimated 600,000 elderly and very young Germans. This was far and away the greatest atrocity of World war I and it made every German man and woman hunger for revenge. By creating blind hatred of Germany, Bryce sowed the dragons teeth of World War II.

Calling the Bush regime "the Nazi regime in Washington" is so unfair to the Nazis. I am sure that Hitler and the Nazis would never have been so stupid.
They would certainly have recognized the true motives, in an instant, of the neo-cons at the American Enterprise Institute.

Really relevant piece in the aftermath of Kosovo and Iraq. However, you might have mentioned the fate of Sir Roger Casement-hanged in an English jail for the "crime" of wanting his country to be freely governed by Irishmen or, indeed, Irishwomen.Is this not the great cry of Americans and Brits: Freedom!

It has often been said that truth is the first casualty of war. And in the case of Bush's war, that casualty occurred before the war even began. Bush justified his war on the basis of a fabricated story that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction. He swore that this was so and grandly announced that he would produce the proof. But now, 3/4 of the year later, the proof has yet to be produced. And yet, Bush and his henchmen uses this phony story has their fig leaf for war of aggression against the Republic of Iraq. When their lie was exposed, they did not withdraw their troops. Instead they arrogantly engaged in a brutal occupation of that forlorn country. The motive for the war's pretty obvious; they were after the oil fields. The whole world knows it. But Bush and his henchmen do not have the oil fields. Iraq is not secure. The Iraqis continue to grimly fight back, inflicting new casualties on Bush's imperial troops everyday. The Iraqis are fighting for their own freedom on their own turf. Bush's troops are fightinmg for Halliburton to get the oil. Bush's supply lines stretch ten thousand miles. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who's gonna win. As long as Bush and his henchmen retain power the killing will continue and the world will be under threat. The Nazi regime in Washington needs to be removed and brought before courts of competent jurisdiction to be tried convicted and sentenced as required.

a British citizen, I have opposed British imperialism since at least the wretched Suez adventure of 1956. And British propaganda since 1914 has certainly been high up in the perfidy stakes (I believe Goebbels learned a lot of his trade while studying it).
Indeed, the struggle 1914-8 might well have been contained had Grey and Asquith not in effect tricked the Liberal Cabinet/Parliamentary party into war. The British empire was indeed over-extended by 1919-22 (not just Ireland, but Chanak/Anatolia/Thrace, Mesopotamia, Amritsar...) If Ogle is a conservative (no reason why he should be) he should be pleased at the ending of any or all empires. British progressives (not inlcuding the neocon Blair) largely are, and indeed oppose extensions and recrudescences of empires, too. WAs US intervention in 1917 that great an idea? see Eugene Debs, Randolph Bourne etc.
But we have been brought up to see the British ruling class as exceptionally cunning and durable, since at least 1688...
I wonder what sources Ogle relies on? For WWII, what is his opinion of Charmley's Churchill- the End of Glory?
P T Garrett - 6/17/2003
Once again we have recently relearned what we have always learned from the well documented history of war propaganda - not a damn thing. Yesteryear's speared babies were this year's vast WMD stockpile just moments away from being unleashed on our homes.
Perhaps what is needed is the creation of the James Bryce War Propaganda Trophy (of a speared baby?) to be awarded to the most aggregious practioners of the ancient art of fomenting war hysteria. Without a doubt this year's trophy would have to be shared by P Bush and PM Blair for a truely infamous job. However an honorable mention for best technical assist to the winners would have to go to Fox News.
Tom Woods - 6/14/2003
I think people reading what I posted and then reading your reply will be able to judge for themselves who's being hysterical.
John Attarian - 6/14/2003
I said nothing about approving of Woodrow Wilson, nor did I say that Fleming himself was "anti-American." Anyone who bothered to see what he looked at when reading my comments would have known that. For the record, I dislike Wilson just as much as you do, and for the same reasons. For the record, I own, read, and thoroughly enjoyed Fleming's Now We Are Enemies,re Bunker Hill, and his WWII naval yarn Time and Tide, about the fictional USS Jefferson City--still dip into it when I want a break from my work.
I do happen to be a convinced Anglophile and am jolly well going to stay that way. If you don't like it, that's your problem, not mine.
Among my reasons for posting my first comment was to test the water among my fellow paleoconservatives and see just how open they were to differences of opinion. Such replies as I got were hysterical to put it mildly, and did not shrink from personal abuse of someone the authors did not even know. No harm done, of course, but what earthly good does that sort of stuff do?
For the record, there was and is plenty of anti-Americanism among the revisionist historians of the New Left, who weren't about to say anything good about this country if they could help it. They still aren't. America is routinely tarred as a racist, sexist, imperialist plague on the world by these folk, who argue, among other things, that the Constitution was a repressive document because it was written by rich white men. Any halfway well-read student of history knows that these sorts of things are going on.
I used to be more of a reader of revisionists and used to have a subscription to Chronicles. I had to give it up. Tom Fleming's (not THIS Fleming's) monthly dose of hysteria and vitriol just got to be too much to choke down any longer. Too many revisionists and paleos are just guys with axes to grind who think an ethnic grudge match is a conservative principle. Some of them have a party line: awful Lincoln, wicked Winston, diabolical perfidious Albion, etc., etc., ad nauseam, and "deviationists" get excommunicated, just as the respondents to my first comments tried to excommunicate me--"what kind of conservative is Attarian" etc., etc. I'll tell you what kind I am: one who thinks for himself and doesn't let anybody program him like a robot. That's precisely why I can't be a neocon. If in your judgment that means I can't be a paleo either, that's too bad for you!
I'm sorry to see that paleos have their oprichniki (oh, go look it up! Hint: Ivan the Terrible) and enforcers just like the neocons.
I have to wonder, why are so many people of all shades of opinion in this country so rabid about their politics, so intolerant of any perspective other than their own, so quick to fly off the handle and put words in the mouths of people they don't even know, so quick to excommunicate and guillotine anybody who doesn't think their way?
Grow up, guys. Life's too short for this kind of childishness.

JR - 6/14/2003
Yes, indeed; to see some more evidence, go to:
http://www.jrbooksonline.com/birinyi.htm
where Birinyi shows:
a. The Versailles Treaties were mere "rubber stamps" to previous secret agreements made with shadowy internationalists;
b. The Russian secret apparatus bribed the French press to promulgate fake atrocity stories about Germany;
c. The Russian secret apparatus paid the Serbian secret apparatus to effect the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife;
d. WW I was most directly caused by international finance;
and a few other things.
Another interesting book (I haven't digitized it) is "The Inside Story of the Peace Conference" by Dr. E. J. Dillon (Harper & Bros., 1920). He was anti-German, yet also thought the Versailles Conference was bogus.
GEORGE B. CLARK - 6/14/2003
Mr. Fleming
Great book. You've said all the things I've been saying to friends, romans, and relatives for the past thirty or more years. They are tired of me, but I hope no one tires of your book.
Bryce was a swine. So were all the other Europeans who worked over the immature Americans, dragging the nation into a war that we had no real part in. You can add Wilson, an un-elected House and all the other pro-British "Americans" to the list.
All nations involved in the 1914 diaster were to blame for that war, with the British egging on the French and Russians. The Austrians were over the hill and dragged the stupid German government down with them.
The "peace treaty" was a violation of all normal interactions.
All the disasters of the 20th century can be laid to that one mistake made by the 2d greatest egotist [Roosevelett minor was first] of the nation, Wilson.
George B. Clark
Wish you had used my book "Devil Dogs" as a source.
Holocaust revisionism is best represented by the vast collection of essays at http://www.vho.org
F. P. Berg
Some of you may be interested in examining some official German documents related to WW I & II atrocities.
Of course, these must be seen as "biased" by their nature, but what official gov't pub isn't? Look for yourself and decide:
http://www.jrbooksonline.com/belgianpw.htm
This one deals with Dinant, Louvain and many other Belgian cases.
http://www.jrbooksonline.com/polish_atrocities.htm
This one deals with the Polish border incidents, etc. which lead directly to the German invasion of Sept. 1, 1939.
Interesting reading, but don't look at some of it on a full stomach.
I suggest that we all get down and pray real hard that there is NO God--because if there really is a God out there, and if he bares any resemblance to the thing most of us pretend to worship (a God of justice who punishes hardcore criminals), then we Americans are all in big trouble. The worst war criminals in all human history were the Americans in World War 2--and that would still be true even if the Holocaust myth were also true. The fact that it is not true only makes America's crimes even more despicable.
As to Hitler--he keeps getting a bad wrap and it is so totally unfair. Try to imagine what would have happened to Europe without Hitler stepping on the stage in the 1930's. Who else was there to harness an effective resistance to communism in the 1930's and 1940's? The answer is no one. Although there were others such as Mussolini and Franco who had the right idea, they were never strong enough without Hitler. And as to the great Allies--Britain, France and the US--they actually supported communism to a great extent during the thirties. After the great war against Germany, their only real lever against the Soviets was the atomic bomb. But it was Hitler and the Nazis and the German people and their allies who had given communism such a severe, bloody kick in the ass during WW2 that the West actually had a few years to come to its senses about communism before the Soviets had their own atomic bombs.
Despite the great risk to survival on our small planet, it was the atomic bomb which saved our butts after World War 2 and not much else. But before the bomb, it was Hitler!
I couldn't have said it better myself...........
Gordon - 6/13/2003
I understand your furstration Mick, unfortunately it sounds to me like if you have the answers and you feel so strongly about your views perhaps you could stop bad mouthing us ingnorant Americans with our low IQs and do something positive like getting the word out. Americans are isolated, our media is laughable and most Americans rarely get the truth about anything. We can all sit around and talk about all the flaws that exist in America and let me tell you that is what goes on everyday. Problem is most people in this nation of consumers are unwilling to sacrifice our way of life, especially when some one insults them. So my challenge to you is to give them a reason. Don't write and tell us how stupid we are, explain how our actions are effecting you in your country, a lucid statement will go a lot farther than a bunch of insults. Great spelling by the way.
Very, very typical response, oh Laird -- always defend Israel like a "good Christian" and hurl insults at people you don't agree with, while ignoring the atrocities that the Israelis perpetrate upon the Palestinians.
Point being -- in 1948, the Jews STOLE the land that belonged to the indigenous Arabs that had lived there for at least 15 centuries, and started killing them -- just like the Nazis.
As for WW2 - we didn't belong in that war at all, and it is proven that we provoked the Japanese to attack us, id est, strangling their trade, cutting off their oil, et cetera -- so "good" America could have it for herself.
Real white hats, huh Poindexter - you sound like Richard Perle or Paul Wolfowitz to me.
Perhaps you should study history, instead of being a typical Judaizer, and you wouldn't appear as obtuse as you seem to be.
Further, FDR knew that the most likely place for the Japs to attack us would be in the Pacific Theatre, just as he knew about the munitions that we were shipping to England aboard the Lusitania during WW 1 -- costing more innocent lives as unwitting pawns.
Incidentally, Laird, by your shrill attack on my person, I venture you, like George Bush, believe that if we don't defend "Holy Israel", "Jeezus" won't come back -- am I correct in that assumption, Poindexter -- or are you perhaps Jewish?
I case you may be wondering at the moment, I am an English-German atheist, so inane allusions to "Judeo-Christian" morality mean nothing to me -- indeed, all moral constructs are relative, anyway.
If you wish, try to prove to me that "morality" isn't arbitrary -by using objective FACTS, not conjecture or myths.
Yeah, I do agree that Hitler and the Krauts were off the wall in WW 2, but that doesn't mean that we should have exterminated defenseless, disarmed prisoners AFTER the war, much less their women and children, just like the "Holy" Israelis love to do in occupied Palestine!
Just try to rebut me on that point, without the holier than thou overtones.
And with regard to prejudice, I submit that your "bigotry" toward the Germans and Palestinians is very apparent, by the way.
So, chew on that one for a bit, buster -- oh Judaizing lover of war!
John Deterick - 6/13/2003
The continuation of the blockade during the negotiations of the Paris Peace Conference was, by any objective understanding, a violation of the armistice. But the Germans were in no position by that point to be able to do anything about it, considering that the Allied armies had established bridgeheads on the eastern bank of the Rhine and were prepared to resume offensive operations at any time. Those who dismiss the underhandedness of the British and French in dealing with their enemies -- and not just Germany --, and even some of their "allies," should remember this.
Also, the food blockade established a nasty precedent for future behavior, and it has come to pass that the U.S. government, taking its cue from its Allies' behavior in decades past, imposes blockades of its own during armistices and truces. The twelve year blockade against Iraq, although it was moderated somewhat (the "Oil for Food Program") eventually in response to international outrage, is a very prominent example of this mentality in action. 500,000 dead Iraqis? "It was worth it," said Madeline Albright. Versus: "There are twenty million Germans too many," said Clemenceau. A five year old could see the pattern.
Leila M. - 6/13/2003
Any writer, historian, or journalist has a responsibility of reporting events objectively and intelligently to his/her public. But this era has shown us that anyone can be bought and sold. Viscount James Bryce may have sold out for personal gratification or whatever other reasons he may have had back then. 100 years later, there are people willing to give anything so that the truth is not reported and that stories are skewed to suit their interests.
B. Mohamed B. - 6/13/2003
just pleased that some, on this planet,
still understand simple things.
arkturus - 6/12/2003
Yes. But we are speaking about a blockade not during the war.
As a result could be considered an act of war.
Wow! Perhaps in another fifty years we can see some discussion by Mr. Fleming and his colleagues of the World War 2 atrocity stories. I can hardly wait.
TheLairdJim - 6/12/2003
Funny I've heard about all of those. In fact I've heard so much about the mistreatment of Palestinians by Israelis that I pretty much doubt every story I hear now. As far as Dresden and Hamburg and Hiroshima and Nagasaki--everyone knows about them. Most everybody knows about firebombing Tokyo too. They just don't provoke your brand of venomous bigotry in most people. I'm no fan of total war, and have always detested its prophets like Sherman and Clausewitz. WWII was a total war, however, and as nasty a business as ever was--literally. The nastiest business since the Mongols rolled into China and Russia and the Middle East. It was new in the race for the most horrific weapons ever, and I thank HEAVEN that it wasn't the Nazis or the Japanese that found them first. Bad as it was, it could've been far worse. America was wearing a white hat in WWII.
Jimmy Cantrell - 6/12/2003
What kind of 'conservative' is Attarian? If he is what I label an Anglophilic Imperial Conservative, it is expected that he defend Wilson as well as Lincoln, and that he always excuse the English Empire, even at its most bloodthirsty and hypocritical. The thought of 'freedom-loving' England going to fight to save the freedom of small countries while ruling its empire at gunpoint should make us all laugh out loud and keep a watchful eye on the English, and their American and Commonwealth supporters and emulators, forever.
Jan - 6/12/2003
Good article on bin Laden's stated objectives, as opposed to what Bush said they were.
John Attarian is simply wrong about blockades, and is evidently aware of none of the legal distinctions that international lawyers made at the time. The British blockade was not a so-called close blockade (legal) but a distant blockade (illegal), which employed mines scattered throughout the North Sea. It was also a blockade of food, which no one in the world considered legitimate. The Scandinavian countries rightly signed a protest against such behavior; Woodrow Wilson refused to join them.
To criticize Woodrow Wilson -- which Fleming does only in passing in this piece -- is hardly "anti-American," a term that is increasingly used to shut down debate on important matters. This is especially surprising coming from the conservative Attarian -- a dislike of Woodrow Wilson is practically a requirement for a serious conservative, in my judgment.
Kulif - 6/12/2003
This is regarding mick's post ( http://hnn.us/comments/13368.html ) stating the holocaust never happened, i've heared poeple say this before, i was wondering what books you've read or internet links you have that made you believe this..
Some of Fleming's piece makes sense. But the conclusion was just simply hysterical. Lord Bryce sowed the dragon's teeth for WWII? All by his little self? Ridiculous!
As for the blockade, a blockade is simply a siege on a national scale. It's a well known strategic measure and no "atrocity." The Royal Navy blockaded France during the Napoleonic Wars. Lincoln blockaded the South. So what?
Quite frankly I find the shooting of infants at Dinant just as indefensible as the shooting of infants at My Lai.
Funny how revisionist historians, with honorable exceptions, tend to be anti-Americans and Anglophobes by the wrong name.
It seems plain to me that the victor of any conflict always states that the "other" side was the one that committed "atrocities".
Funny, we never hear of the ATROCIOUS treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis, or of the various atrocious acts of the US military in WW 2, i.e., Dresden, not to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I guess it's because we were the ones wearing the "white hats", right??
Such blatent hypocrisy makes me sick to my stomach, and history will not treat us kindly in the end.
Observer - 6/12/2003
It is a brave man who can write an apology for the losing team.
Don't Germans always keep exact count of everything? If you believe that in the next round they only gassed 5,999,999 then rounded up to 6,000,000 then you are in BIG trouble!
Our main concern should be with spelling: "lurid," not "lured." If we spell correctly then the facts will just sort themselves out.
Herodotus - 6/12/2003
Yes, this was a badly orchestrated story advanced by some within Kuwait. It culminated in one of the daughters of the Kuwaiti ambassador (or embassy staff...I don't recall off hand) giving testimony before Congress to the effect that she witnessed this personally.
It was, in fact, a completely fabricated story.
There were several other stories of atrocities committed by the Iraqis which, however, were shown to be all too true. Included in that were the 600 Kuwaitis who were removed from Kuwait during the war and never returned. Many of them were later found to have been executed, following the examination of the various mass graves in Iraq in the past few weeks.
Earl Edmondson - 6/12/2003
Professor Fleming does well to remind us of the way in which governments--and their supporters--invent and exaggerate claims of atrocities commited by their enemies (more often than not it's often a two-way street). The last sentence of his fine article ("By creating blind hatred of Germany, Bryce sowed the dragons teeth of World War II") might benefit, however, from a minor changes: "By helping create blind hatred of and in Germany, Bryce and others sowed the dragons teeth of World War II." After all, Bryce was hardly the sole culprit, and Fleming's previous sentence refers to hatred felt by Germans--not just that directed toward them.
Tom - 6/12/2003
Mr. Fleming - Thanks for a great piece. Well done, Sir! Sadly, the tactics of 100 years ago still work today. If only these things were taught in our "Public" schools.
F. le Roi - 6/12/2003
Does propaganda create will, or, rather, prey upon the long worked prejudice of the people. Pretense alone will not suffice to explain,
as these lies are too shabby even for the most juvenile to purchase.
No, these are non-believers that buy these shoddy goods. States are nothing more than loosely organized gangs.
Marvin E. Ogle - 6/12/2003
Thomas Fleming's fascinating article, "The Historian Who Sold Out", merely confirms my own long-held doubts of the veracity of the German "rape of Belgium" tale propagated by the perfidious British politicians during WW I. In fact, after a lifetime of studying the history of Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries, I have had to conclude, reluctantly, that the British political elite during the period from 1860 to 1950 was unquestionably the most incompetent, ruthless, ignorant, deceitful, and bloody-minded national leadership to afflict any people in modern times.
Imagine. In just two generations British politicians managed to destroy completely Great Britian's empire, squander the fabled wealth of the nation, and encompass the death of two millions of "England's finest"--all in the name of greatness, security, and peace, leaving Britain (forget the "Great") by 1950 a pitiable shadow of its former self. And by 1950 the bureaucratic, redistributionist socialists were in charge, 'national socialism! British variant. They still are.
mick - 6/12/2003
This is a very good article. However American IQ beeing as it is... most probably for your average reader it will come out as a surprise that Pearl Harbour was a desired incident, holocaust never existed and YES there was no Osama Bin Laden associated to 911... and yeah, no WMD in Iraq either.
Boy, in what sort of a green-house are you guys living ? You are a people with 90% of your history just about falsified but you keep asking for more.
Remember the Civil War... ?... or the official reasons involved for the starting of spanish-american war ?
Well... one day all this will add up and will come to hount you. These things always do. Meanwhile keep writing books, join the masonery, kiss
your money-shalom and keep voting Bush. You'll have a bright future. There have never been a nation transformed in such a loughing stock ever.
Trully, Mick.

Weren't there accusations by doctors that the Iraqi army was was taking critically ill Kuwaiti babies out of incubators and sending the incubators back to Iraq because they were short of them? After the war these stories were found to be false in every instance
Many thanks for the references--they underscore the significance of your piece.
Thomas Fleming - 6/11/2003
Dear Mr. Kates -- I refer in my essay to recdent scholarship that has validated the occurrence of serious atrocities committed by the German Army in Belgium in 1914. The book is German Atrocities, 1914, A History of Denial by John Horne and Alan Kramer. I admire the scholarship of this book. But I disagree with their casual reference to lured atrocities "contaminating" the Bryce report, as if it were some sort of biological entity, and not a document prepared by supposedly thoughtful men. That is why I think we should judge Lord Bryce severely as one of the chief propagators of mindless German hatred in World War I.
My source for the number of Germans starved after WWI is: Chales P. Vincent, the Post-World War I Blockade of Germany, An Aspect in the Tragedy of a Nation, Unpublished Ph.D. dissertation, University of Colorado, 1980. My book has vivid word portraits of starving German children drawn from other sources, such as letters of British and American officers and civilian officials. Herbert Hoover scathingly condemned the British extension of the blockade. The Britsh replied they wanted "to make the Hun squirm." Georges Clemenceau was even more heartless: "There are twenty million Germans too many," he said. The 600,000 figure is, of course, a round number. In the chaos of 1919 Germany, no one was keeping exact count.
Don Kates - 6/10/2003
I have not read the book, but only a review. W/ that caveat, let me note that within the last two years a book written by two reputable historians concludes that the atrocity charges against the Germans in Belguim are substantially true. It would certainly have been useful if Mr. Fleming had cited this book (or any other source) to which we could look for validation, or refutation, of his comments.
Just to be fair (i don't know either way) where does the number of 600,000 starving Germans come from?
Having (rightly) aroused our skepticism of the accounts of atrocities with this piece, he ends with an estimated number...

foo_queuecontents enables the user to edit and view queue contents through an ui element. Both the Default User Interface (DUI) and Columns User Interface (CUI/uie) are supported. As a legacy option, queue contents can also be viewed and edited by a special queue playlist, which is updated automatically with queue contents.
The component started as a modification of foo_locktest (by foosion) but since then it has developed much further.
The component is available from here. Install the .zip package in "Preferences > Components", or manually by unziping foo_queuecontents.dll to foobar2000 components directory.
Source code for the component is available from github. Please see the license files.
Please use this thread to provide feedback, or to report any bugs you might have found.
foobar2000 1.1 (or later) and Column UI 0.3.8.x (Optional). The component will not work with previous versions of foobar.
The recommended way to use foo_queuecontents is to use the UI element. Just add the panel as you would any other UI element. The element can be found under Utility category in DUI, or under Panels category in CUI with the name Queue Contents Editor.
As stated before the component supports two kind of interfaces: UI element (CUI/DUI) and a special playlist for displaying/editing queue contents.
Views items currently in the queue using interface similar to foobar default playlist component.
Reorder queue items by drag & drop, and by using keyboard shortcuts similar to foobar default playlist component.
Delete queue items through the context menu, or pressing the delete key.
Add items to queue by drag & drop. Files can be dragged either outside or inside from foobar. Files that are dragged from a foobar playlist are queued in the same way they would have been with the Add to Playback Queue command.
Fully user-customizable columns in the UI element. You can add, delete and reorder columns however you like. User can define new columns with custom format strings from the preferences.
Optionally auto-size of columns so that column width/element width ratio is kept constant (Auto-scale Columns with Window Size).
Optionally show or hide the column header. You can always show the column header by clicking anywhere in the UI element and clicking Show Column Header.
Frame style of the component can be changed with Columns UI (CUI) by clicking anywhere in the UI element and choosing a style from the Frame style context menu.
Queue playlist functionality has been from the start. It is now considered obsolete/legacy option since reflecting queue contents in a separate playlist is confusing to say the least. It also has strange behaviour (due to inherent features of a playlist) that might confuse people. However, the functionality is preserved for compatibility reasons. UI element is recommended over the playlist functionality.
Queue contents are reflected to a special playlist. The items are ordered according to their queue position, i.e. items on the top of the playlist are played first.
All changes (deletions, insertions and reordering) to playlist is reflected also to queue.
Queue playlist name can be changed by just renaming the playlist. It can also be changed from the foobar preferences.
Queue playlist functionality is disabled by default but it can be enabled from the preferences.
Pattern, format string for displaying information about the queue item. Click Syntax Help for more information on format strings.
Alignment, alignment of the column.
In the pattern you can also use %queue_index% to reference item's position in the queue (first one has index 1), and %queue_total% to reference items currently in a queue. In addition you can use %playlist_name% to refer to the playlist name of the queued item. Similarly, %list_index% and %list_total% tell you the position and size of the playlist corresponding to the queued item.
For each queuecontents UI element you have, you can choose different columns to display by right-clicking the column header.
As a legacy option, foo_queuecontents supports reflecting of playlist contents to a special playlist. You can enable/disable the functionality from the preferences using the checkbox Enable Queue Playlist Feature.
Frame style of the component can be changed with Columns UI (CUI) interface. DUI components use the same frame style as before, and with DUI the style cannot be changed.
Addition of two new context menu options ("Move Up" and "Move Down"). Suggested by auditorium.
Drag & Drop of columns fixed (again!). Tested quite thoroughly this time.
Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down crashed when all the items were selected.
Minor UI fixes regarding item selection and focus when opening context menu.
Fields available in formatting strings (added by this component) are now case-insensitive as they should be, e.g. %QUEUE_INDEX% is same as %queue_index%.
Additional fields available in formatting strings: %playlist_name% (name of the queued playlist corresponding to queued item), %list_index% (index of the queued item in the queued playlist), %list_total% (total number of items in the queued playlist).
Queue playlist functionality no longer identifies the queue playlist by name. This makes it safe to have other playlists with the same name as the queue playlist.
Fixed incorrect behaviour (addition of 'ghost rows') when adding the first column. Reported here.
Column reordering should work correctly now.
Rebuilt with foobar SDK 1.1. From now on requires at least foobar 1.1.
Fixed bug with newest columns ui and foobar 1.1.3+. With autosize enabled, all the columns disappeared on foobar start.
Finally fixed the bug which broke completely the queuecontents playlist behaviour.
More default columns. They will be visible only for new installations (or if you reset your settings).
Drag & Drop from queue playlist to UI element works now as expected (it will queue the items again to the specified position in the queue).
Removed warning related to configuration on first UI element startup since it is always expected.
Erratic queue playlist behaviour fixed.
Queue playlist supports drag & drop better.
Queue playlist item reorder problems solved.
Fixed crash when removing queuecontents panel when using Columns UI.
Column order is preserved correctly after drag & drop of columns.
Left and Right cursor keys works correctly in preferences when editing columns.
Alignment of columns is now correctly displayed in the settings.
Changes to column names are updated immediately in ui elements.
"Show Column Header" setting is now correctly preserved over different foobar2000 sessions.
ESC button works as expected in the preferences dialog: it closes it.
%queue_total% supported in format strings.
UI element automatically refreshes items when one of the queue items has a metadata change.
UI element has the same border style than the DUI playlist view.
Preferences dialog: When configuring columns, no need to press return key anymore, text is committed automatically. Also improved processing of ESC and other keys in the prerences.
Preferences dialog: Syntax Help button for HA Syntax Help.
Preferences dialog: Help button brings to this wiki page.
Drag from playlist to ui element now correctly queues the item preserving the "link" to the playlist (i.e. playlist items will have %queue_index%) for the dragged items in the playlist).
Behaviour tested with DUI playlist and various playlist components for CUI.
NOTE: As far as I know there is no proper way to do this, and currently the program checks every drop against the active playlist selection. If they are the same (same items and in the same order), drop is interpreted as queuing from the playlist. In addition, I've implemented a check that matches the dropped items against currently selected items. Currently selected items are the selected items of the currently focused UI element. This is not 100% fool proof but it should work in 99.9 % of the regular cases. (And in the 0.01 % of the cases it still doesn't explode the universe).
Queue playlist functionality is now disabled by default for new installations.
Note that you will lose the format string you defined in version 0.2 when moving to a newer version. Please backup the format string before updating the component!
reordering of queue playlist might fail if the playlist corresponding to a queue item is removed.
When drag & dropping items to queue playlist, they are added twice.
Columns ui element support (CUI). Uses CUI font and color configuration facilities.
Drag & Drop support for ui element outside and inside of foobar2000. Queue order can also be changed by drag & drop.
Added context menu to ui element with "Show Column Header", "Auto-Scale columns with Window Size", "Move To Top", "Move To Bottom" and "Delete" options.
selection of queue item(s) in the ui element is reflected in "Selection Properties" (and others like album art) UI element.

2008 ZOGBY POLL: ATLAS SHRUGGED READ BY 8.1%
For the second year in a row a Freestar Media/Zogby poll found that 8.1 percent of American adults have read the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
The sample was 1,338 adults interviewed by telephone with approximately 63 questions asked from 10/9/08 to 10/12/08. Zogby International surveys employ sampling strategies in which selection probabilities are proportional to population size within area codes and exchanges.
When asked "Have you ever read the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand?", 8.1% said "yes", 91.7% said "no" and 0.2% were not sure. The margin of error of the poll is +/- 2.7 percentage points. This result matches the 8.1 percent result from the 2007 Atlas Shrugged survey.
Those living in the West (14%) are most likely to say they have read Ayn Rand, followed by those in the East (11%), the South (6%) and the central U.S. (4%). Democrats (11%) are more likely than independents (9%) and Republicans (6%) to say they have read the book. College graduates (17%) are the most likely education group to say they have read Atlas Shrugged, and those who earn more than $100,000 a year (15%) are the most likely income bracket to have read the book.

MOVIE ABOUT EMINENT DOMAIN ABUSE PUT ON HOLD
The movie about the eminent domain abuse and the Lost Liberty Hotel has been put on hold. Because the topic of socialized medicine is more timely Logan will finish "Sick and Sicker" before returning to his movie on eminent domain abuse. The eminent domain movie is also in need of additional financing.
GOVERNMENT TAKES HALPER HOME AND FARM
The Government of Piscataway, New Jersey
didn't want anyone to see it stealing the Halper home and 75 acre farm. However, several local newspaper photographers and three Freestar cameramen were on the property every day and often at night as well. Their solution, fine the Halpers $4,000 a day for each day they remain on the property in defiance of the court order to leave. This fine would eventually increase to $10,000 a day.
So Larry and Clara Halper had no choice but to leave. Thursday night they spent the night in a hotel and everyone else went home as well. It seems the government won again, just as they did in New London.
This morning Mark Halper showed up early to remove some of his equipment from the farm. According to Mark, a police officer guarding the Halper property said that the Piscataway SWAT team was sent in to storm the property in the middle of the night. Freestar is trying to verify this. So far, the Piscataway government is refusing to comment but is likewise not denying it.
The Eminent Domain Movie
LENIN GIVES AWARD TO MAYOR WAHLER
Piscataway, N.J. Mayor and eminent domain abuser Brian Wahler receives an award for confiscation of private property from Vladimir Lenin as part of Logan's movie about eminent domain abuse.
Mayor Wahler reacted to the award by sending a large portion of the Piscataway police force to intimidate us. Ultimately we had to run to our cars and flee as it seemed quite likely that the police would confiscate our tapes.

The Lost Liberty Hotel
On Monday June 27, 2005 Freestar Media, LLC informed the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire that it wants to begin the permit process to build a hotel on the land owned by U.S. Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter. Mr. Souter was one of five justices who voted in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision to allow city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government believes it will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.

Man who killed mom wants to get paid from her life insurance
Publication: New York Post
By Julie Marsh
Dodging jail time for killing his mom wasn't enough — now a former Fordham University student wants to get paid for it.
Henry Wachtel, 24, was found not criminally responsible for beating his mom to death in October 2014 while in the throes of an epileptic seizure.
Karyn Kay, a beloved La Guardia High School teacher, died of blunt force trauma to the head and torso after her troubled son hit her up to 100 times, according to court records.
Wachtel testified that he had no memory of the attack and cops described him as "wild-eyed" when they arrived at the family's West 55th Street apartment in April 2012.
"I woke up on the kitchen floor to the cops picking me up and my mother being carried out on a stretcher," Wachtel testified.
He was heard on a recording of his mom's 911 call screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, please don't die!"
Wachtel is being held by the state Office of Mental Health. He's due in court next month for a hearing to determine if he has a "dangerous mental disorder." That ruling will determine the length of his psychiatric commitment.
Meanwhile, his attorney, Judith Weil, insists that he has a right to his mother's life insurance policy and other benefits from the Teachers' Retirement System of the City of New York.
When the group refused to even disclose the amount of Kay's life insurance policy, let alone hand the money over to her son, he sued.
Wachtel is her sole heir and listed as the beneficiary of her teacher's benefits, according to his new Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.
Kay was separated from her husband, Fordham University professor Edward Wachtel.
The Teachers' Retirement System has cited the state's "slayer rule," which prevents killers from inheriting from their victim, and asked for a court ruling on the matter.
Wachtel's lawyer says the rule doesn't apply to people like her client who were found not criminally responsible for the killing.
But attorney Arthur Schwartz, an estates and wills expert who is not involved in the case, disagreed.
"There have been a few cases where someone 'not guilty by reason of insanity' has inherited money from a deceased. But the standard of proof for the estate, to show that the killer was aware of what he or she was doing, is lower than the 'beyond a reasonable doubt' standard in criminal cases," he said.

What Year Did Red Live In Russia In 'Orange Is The New Black'? Her Teenage Flashback Showed A Changing Soviet Union
By Leah Marilla Thomas
Jojo Whilden/Netflix
While I'm always interested to learn how and why the Litchfield ladies ended up incarcerated, it's the Orange is the New Black's flashbacks that go further back and delve into the childhood and adolescence of these women that really interests me. One of the Season 5 flashbacks took us not only outside of New York state, but outside of the country. Watch out, there are Orange is the New Black spoilers ahead. When was that Red flashback on Orange is the New Black? Her Soviet Russia days were a little wilder than you might expect.
In flashbacks in Episode 9 we saw Galina Reznikov, also known as Red on Orange Is The New Black, as a young woman in the Soviet Union. Fans now know how she met her future ex-husband Dmitri, the other kinds of boys she was dating at the time, what her natural hair color is, and that her best friend disappeared after getting involved with a revolutionary crowd.
By the looks of a banner outside of Galina's workplace, references to the Party Leader Leonid Brezhnev and a few posters on her short term boyfriend's wall, it appears to be 1977 — the year of Star Wars, the New York City Blackout, and Roots. That happens to be the year that the Soviet Constitution was adopted, right in the middle of the Soviet era in Russia, which officially ended in 1991. This particular era in the Soviet Union is known as the Brezhnevian Stagnation, when the economy stopped growing and morale was low.
It's also around that time that Red and Dmitri left the Soviet Union and came to the United States — which is significant because emigration was illegal at the time. Those escaping the Soviet Union were defectors. However, Dmitri discovers that Jewish Russians were starting to be granted permission to leave. That's why Galina was impressed with Dmitri's desire to go to America together. He was more of a revolutionary than her blue jeans-peddling, long-haired hippie beau. At Litchfield, Red may be more of a protector who works within a system to better the status quo — but she has always been forward thinking, well before the events of Orange is the New Black.

The Deadliest Night Fighter in Korea
Why Douglas Skyknight crews weren't afraid of the dark.

By Robert Bernier
With a profile that would never be considered glamorous, the Douglas Skyknight was a conventional design delivering truly mediocre performance. Still, the Navy needed a sedan, not a sports car, and designer Ed Heinemann, who won fame for the World War II Douglas Dauntless and the 1953 Collier Trophy for the F4D Skyray, gave them what they wanted. Surprisingly, Skyknights would soldier on for two decades of service, easily outlasting speedier, more nimble contemporaries.
Conceived as the Navy's first purpose-built night fighter, the Douglas F3D was built big to accommodate a complicated radar system along with a powerful battery of four 20-mm cannon. There were three radars: search, fire control, and a novel tail-mounted unit warning of threats approaching from behind. Pilots took off in darkness, flew by instruments, and trusted the radar operators sitting next to them to guide them to enemy aircraft that blipped across scopes mounted on the radar console.
In its attempt to achieve the range that the Navy optimistically specified for the search radar—125 miles—Westinghouse endowed it with an antenna dish 30 inches in diameter—this at a time when most aircraft radar antennas were half that size. Douglas stuffed the thing into a bulbous fiberglass radome. Although the radar never did attain the 125-mile range, it could see a fighter-size target up to 20 miles away, and that made it a valuable weapon system in the Korean War, especially to the bombers set upon by MiG-15s.
When B-29s were sent into North Korea to attack factories, bridges, and dams, their gunners were no match for MiG-15 fighters, which quickly prevented the B-29s from flying daytime missions. Switching to nighttime raids worked until the enemy countered by using a system of ground radar sites to guide MiGs to within visual range of the bombers. After three B-29s were shot down on June 10, 1952, by a dedicated night-fighting team of MiGs, raids were suspended until jet night fighter escorts became available.

That summer, Marine fighter squadron VMF(N)-513 ("N" for "night") acquired F3D-2s. The squadron was known as the Flying Nightmares. Assigned the dual missions of bomber escort and combat air patrol over United Nations-held territory, the pilots hunted MiG-15s and on November 8 bagged the first one.
Captain Oliver Davis and his radar operator Dramus Fessler were flying at 19,000 feet when a U.S. ground controller radioed from a radar intercept site: enemy aircraft 10 miles straight ahead and nearly 7,000 feet below. Diving at full speed to catch up to the target, the Skyknight crew stalked the bandit with their radar. Davis reported having to apply full power while closing with the enemy, but once within range, he fired into the bright glow of the MiG's tailpipe, sending the aircraft down in flames. The Flying Nightmares shot down three more MiGs before the end of the war.
Along with North American F-86 Sabres and Lockheed F-94B Starfires, Skyknights were among the few allied aircraft that sought combat with the intimidating MiG-15s during the Korean War. Although no match for the MiG during daylight hours—Skyknight crews were even leery of flying under a full moon—when cloaked by darkness, their radar "eyes" made them killers. Originally assigned to fly B-29 escort missions every other night, taking turns with U.S. Air Force night fighters, the Marines were soon flying nightly, at the insistence of the Air Force general in charge of B-29 operations, who specified F3Ds for the job. The single-seat Sabres were much more effective in daylight; for night intercepts, it appeared that two heads were better than one. And although the Lockheed jet, like the Skyknight, had a second seater, what it didn't have was the F3D's radar system—or its firepower. The Starfire had four machine guns; the Skyknight had four cannon.
Orbiting over the B-29 formations as they lumbered to their targets and back, Skyknights deterred MiG attacks and prevented heavy losses. They were almost always flown by Marines from land bases in South Korea. Although qualified for carrier duty in 1951, the airplane had characteristics that discouraged its deployment on flattops in squadron strength. The big twin-jet weighed more than a DC-3; it strained the carrier's catapult gear. Moreover, carrier ops were a problem for a radar system made up of nearly 300 fragile vacuum tubes.
The airplanes' low-slung engines were another drawback for operations off the era's wooden flight deck. They were mounted canted slightly downward in order not to scorch the tail, and when the airplane sat too long waiting to launch, the engines' exhaust could set fire to the decks. Not an endearing feature with carrier skippers. Although Skyknights weren't banned from flattops, the Marines, always scheduled to operate the airplane, got a lot more of them—sooner.
The Skyknights became so good at their job that they themselves became hunted. In June 1953, four Navy Skyknights from VC-4 Composite Squadron temporarily detached from the carrier Lake Champlain to join the Marines for nightly patrol and escort duties. One of the Navy pilots, Lieutenant G.G. O'Rourke, recalls in his book Night Fighters over Korea a scheme developed by MiG pilots to trap the F3Ds.
Working in four-aircraft teams guided by ground controllers watching the skies with radar, the enemy would guide one MiG ahead of a Skyknight, where it would be painted by the F3D's radar. Trailing below and behind the lead MiG-15 would be three more. Once the F3D crew was engrossed in pursuing the first MiG, the trailing MiGs zoom-climbed onto the Skyknight's tail. MiGs had a phenomenal climb rate, and if the Skyknight crew wasn't paying attention to the tail radar, the next sound they'd hear would be the shells from a MiG's cannon hitting their aircraft.
Wrote O'Rourke about MiG tactics: "They had no airborne radars and had to rely completely upon their ground controllers to get them to within visual range behind us, which they did extremely well." On a coal-black night in July 1953, flying a bomber escort mission over North Korea, O'Rourke was nearly bagged, but for the warning radar in his airplane's tail. "We went around and around like blindfolded wrestlers," he wrote, "catching a hint of a target here, then there, then having one spot us for an instant, turning sharply to throw him off." The MiGs were tenacious; only after they began to run low on fuel did they break off.
O'Rourke is certain that the July 2, 1953 loss of a Skyknight piloted by Lieutenant Bob Bick was due to the same trap. Bick reported firing on a target ahead, then sent a terse final radio message: "Taken a couple of 37s." (MiGs fired 37-mm cannon rounds.)
Jet v. Biplane
Eugene "Mule" Holmberg was a young Marine staff sergeant in 1953 when he was posted to VMF(N)-513 as a Skyknight radar operator. Holmberg immediately liked the big jet. Its roomy cockpit accommodated his sizable frame, and its Westinghouse AN/APQ-35 radar was the most formidable airborne radar system of the day. "I loved it, just a super plane for a night fighter," he says. "Our planes had a track-while-scan capability that no one else had at the time." The Skyknight's radar system could lock on to a target and continue to search ahead for other threats.

A model faculty
A season for exploration
Departing FAS Dean Michael Smith's investment in world-class scholars is paying big dividends, colleagues say.

FAS dean's investment in world-class scholars is paying dividends
By Jill Radsken Harvard Staff Writer
Date August 9, 2018 August 10, 2018
During her eight years as senior adviser on FAS faculty development, Mahzarin Banaji watched many times as Edgerley Family Dean Michael D. Smith surprised a Committee on Appointments and Promotions meeting by reading detailed students' comments about a particular professor's teaching.
"Mike made faculty who invest in teaching believe that they were being recognized for it," said Banaji. "The value of teaching in the tenure decision is more deeply established because he prioritized it."
Dedicated to strengthening a world-class faculty, Smith, who steps down this month as dean, invested in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) with attention and resources, and a vision for innovative classrooms that welcomes interdepartmental teaching as well as artists and writers from outside academia. From 2007 to 2018, the FAS grew from 709 to 738 ladder faculty.
"We've hired truly extraordinary scholars, and our offers have been roughly at parity or 50/50 (men and women) over the last five years," said Nina Zipser, FAS Dean for Faculty Affairs. "Not only are these people incredible researchers, but Mike has made sure we are hiring from the most diverse pools with the best search practices. He developed new practices and policies to support the tenure track. He also put in place a program to give research funds, especially in fields where it's hard to get funding, or where there is there is need for seed or discretionary funding."
In recent hires and promotions such as those of Lauren Kiyomi Williams (math), Philip Deloria (history), Robert Reid-Pharr (studies of women, gender, and sexuality), Matt Leibmann (anthropology), and Ju Yon Kim (English), Smith defined being a "modern dean in the true sense of the term," said Banaji.
"Harvard, like any ancient institution, has had implicit (sometimes explicit) notions of what a Harvard professor must look like, sound like, act like. Mike let all those superficialities fall away, and brought a laser focus to the work. He understood the social pressures that lead us to favor irrelevant features — the packaging, if you will — over the hard facts of actual achievement," she said. "He left behind older ways of thinking about social categories and who looked the part of a Harvard professor. In his thinking, there was no place for false indicators of talent. And because of this, he fostered a way of thinking on the Committee on Appointments and Promotions and elsewhere that prioritized the integrity of the process, from how we recruit and select to how we nurture and promote."
Smith's commitment to diversity is felt across FAS, but perhaps nowhere more acutely than at the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), which came into existence shortly after he became dean.
"Mike's been absolutely in lockstep with our shared priority of diversity in recruitment of faculty," said SEAS Dean Francis J. Doyle III. "He's been an enthusiastic partner in helping to create a more culturally rich community, not only in hiring and promoting women but in thinking of how we support them with mentoring and moderating demands of their time. When I was appointed, we didn't have student organizations for the Society of Women Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers, or Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers on campus. I worked with Mike to find ways to get chapters installed to create affinity groups to retain a diverse student body. He was dedicated to that effort."
In the division of arts and humanities, Smith focused on faculty innovation with support for arts lectureships and professors of the practice (PoP) in English and music. He also oversaw creation of a new interdisciplinary concentration in Theater, Dance & Media (TDM).
"At times, the humanities have been organized too much into separate silos. Mike really encouraged us to get better at working together," said Martin Puchner, chair of TDM. "In TDM, as a new concentration, this was relatively easy to do, since we were drawing our faculty from all over the University. We had to collaborate to survive, but we also did it because we believed in Mike's vision of working across departments, of sharing resources, and working together."
Among the new English department hires were Michael Pollan, Jill Abramson, and Teju Cole. Claire Chase and Esperanza Spalding joined the music department in 2017.
"Students have direct contact with these artists," said music chair Suzannah Clark. "As a scholar who used to perform, it's given me a whole new life. It's also a statement that the University has long wanted to make: We are a liberal arts institution, and the arts are a real part of the liberal arts."
Dean of Arts and Humanities Robin Kelsey said, "Finding new ways to attract artists who can excel both here and out in the world gives students better ways to imagine and pursue their own creative lives."
"Harvard has long struggled with the fact that Cambridge is off the beaten path for artists. It's not New York or Los Angeles or London or Berlin," Kelsey said. "These part-time PoP positions have made it a destination for world-class artists."
In thinking about the lifecycle of FAS faculty, from hiring to retirement and the milestones in between, officials said Smith created an atmosphere that encouraged experimentation and openness, and that valued ingenuity. He ran pilot programs that, when successful, would be launched in full form.
"He has always pushed me on my thinking and my assumptions, and through these dialogues we always came to a better answer. He has high standards. He is never satisfied with the first answer you give him," Zipser said. "He is also genuinely interested in people's experiences and in what the quantitative data could tell us. He has a big heart. It wasn't always obvious to people, but when faculty came with issues, he was very sympathetic."
Calling Smith a "no-drama dean," Banaji described his leadership style as "humble and patient."
"Anybody who knows Mike Smith knows that he is a man of few words. What Mike does well is: act. He has started many sentences with 'What do I know? You tell me,'" she said. "He has an abiding belief that faculty, if given the right physical and psychological environment, and left alone, do their best work."

Students learn from psychological expert James Garbarino
On Thursday, Nov. 12, students from Dr. Kevin Courtright's CRIM 272 – Criminology classes were afforded a unique opportunity to chat remotely with noted author James Garbarino. In partial fulfillment of course objectives, students read Garbarino's "Listening to Killers" book, wrote reaction papers on the book and developed questions for the author.
"Listening to Killers" offers an inside look at 20 years of murder files from Dr. Garbarino, a leading expert psychological witness who interviews killers so that he can testify in court. In this book, the author offers detailed accounts of how killers travel a path leading from childhood to lethal violence in adolescence or adulthood.
Garbarino holds the Maude C. Clarke Chair in Humanistic Psychology and is senior faculty fellow with the Center for the Human Rights of Children at Loyola University Chicago. In addition to numerous awards, titles and previous teaching and research positions at Cornell University, he has served as an adviser to the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, the National Institute for Mental Health, the American Medical Association, the U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect and the FBI.

I mentioned this video in the sermon this morning from Matt Chandler, the lead pastor of Village Church in the Dallas area. He is an Acts 29 guy who was recently diagnosed with a tumor on his brain requiring immediate surgery. His response to God's will in the midst of his suffering is a terrific example of someone who is finding that Jesus is enough.
