Broadway Books, 2018-03-06 New Now with a new chapter on the chaos in the Trump administration, the first in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the White House Chiefs of Staff, whose actions-and inactions-have defined the course of our countryWhat do Dick Cheney and Rahm Emanuel have in common? Aside from polarizing personalities, both served as chief of staff to the president of the United States-as did Donald Rumsfeld, Leon Panetta, and a relative handful of others The chiefs of staff, often referred to as "the gatekeepers," wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond; they decide who is allowed to see the president, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS's agenda, and-most crucially-enjoy unparalleled access to the leader of the free world Each chief can make or break an administration, and each president reveals himself by the chief he picks Through extensive, intimate interviews with eighteenliving chiefs (including Reince Priebus) and two former presidents, award-winning journalist and producer Chris Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity In doing so, he revises our understanding of presidential history, showing us how James Baker's expert managing of the White House, the press, and Capitol Hill paved the way for the Reagan Revolution-and, conversely, how Watergate, the Iraq War, and even the bungled Obamacare rollout mighthave been prevented by a more effective chief Filled with shrewd analysis and never-before-reported details, The Gatekeepers offers an essential portrait of the toughest job in Washington, Broadway Books, 6, Bernard Malamud and His Critics -thicker black paperback with quite a bit of wear on the edges- some chipping on its edges tear at top of book - book block is in great shape- well bound interiors clean there were some notes erased in front of the book first page book is currently out of print Bernard Malamud and the Critics New York University press New York New York reprinted 1971 copyright held by New York University Library of Congress catalog card number 70 133016 ISBN number 8147 2553 paper cover manufacture United States- Essayists examine Malamud through various critical perspectives and attempt to evaluate his position in contemporary American fiction-expedited shipping available just choose to check out info keywords Bernard Malamud and the Critics The Gotham library Author Leslie A.

He was 71 years old......Mr. Malamud's work showed a regard for Jewish tradition and the plight of ordinary men, and was imbued with the theme of moral wisdom gained through suffering.....Mr. Malamud was considered by many critics to be one of the finest contemporary American writers. The critic Robert Alter said that stories like ''The First Seven Years,'' ''The Magic Barrel,'' ''The Last Mohican,'' ''Idiots First'' and ''Angel Levine'' will be read ''as long as anyone continues to care about American fiction written in the 20th century.'' Text:...The author once described himself as a chronicler of ''simple people struggling to make their lives better in a world of bad luck.'' One of his last appearances was at the PEN Congress in New York in January when he read from his works. Combined Fantasy and Reality....In his work, Mr. Malamud often combined fantasy and reality to create a world that was both the same and different from the one we live in.---In ''Angel Levine,'' a black, rather seedy-looking angel appears to a retired Jewish tailor; in ''The Jewbird,'' a Yiddish-accented vagabond makes his way into an urban Jewish household in the form of a crow; in ''Idiots First,'' the Angel of Death, alias Ginzburg, pursues a desperate Jew trying to scrape together money to send his idiot son to California on the midnight train. ''Malamud has been in the fable business, so to speak,'' the critic Alan Lelchuk wrote.-Mr. Malamud's first novel, ''The Natural,'' an allegory about the rise and fall of a baseball player, was published in 1952. It is different from most of his work in that there are no Jewish characters. After the book was made into a movie starring Robert Redford in 1984, Mr. Malamud said in an interview that he was grateful for the film because it allowed him ''to be recognized once more as an American writer'' as opposed to a Jewish writer. But ''The Natural'' is similar to his later novels and stories in that it lies in the realm of a morality play...''Malamud has always had a fondness for telling tales arranged for the purpose of a specific moral lesson,'' Mr. Lelchuk wrote. ''Neither realism nor surrealism has been his forte through the years,'' he continued, ''but the fable, the parable, the allegory, the ancient art of basic storytelling in a modern voice; through this special mode he has earned his high place in contemporary letters.'' ''The Assistant,'' his second novel, and the one many critics consider his best, was published in 1957. Set in the Depression, it tells of a Jewish grocery-store owner and his Italian assistant, and it, too, is much like a morality play...''The Fixer'' (1966) was inspired by the ordeal of Mendel Beiliss, a Jew tried and acquitted of ritual murder in Kiev in czarist Russia of 1913. ''The Magic Barrel,'' the author's first collection of short stories, was given the National Book Award in 1959...On the basis of ''The Assistant'' and ''The Fixer,'' critics began to think of Mr. Malamud as a ''Jewish writer'' along with Saul Bellow and Philip Roth...Mr. Malamud, however, said that he found the label of ''Jewish writer'' inadequate. He said that the three writers shared more differences than similarities, and that, in his case, Jewishness was more a spiritual than a cultural or a religious quality...''I was concerned with what Jews stood for,'' he said, ''with their getting down to the bare bones of things. I was concerned with their ethicality - how Jews felt they had to live in order to go on living.,,''And at another time he commented: ''Jewishness is important to me, but I don't consider myself only a Jewish writer. I have interests beyond that, and I feel I'm writing for all men...Mr. Roth agreed with Mr. Malamud. ''The Jews of 'The Magic Barrel' and the Jews of 'The Assistant' are not the Jews of New York City or Chicago,'' Mr. Roth wrote. ''They are Malamud's invention, a metaphor of sorts to stand for certain possibilities and promises.'' Later Works CriticizedMr. Malamud's later works - ''Pictures of Fidelman,'' ''The Tenants,'' ''God's Grace'' and to a lesser extent, ''Dubin's Lives'' - got mixed reviews. Many critics cited a growing bleakness in his work, saying that as he left his Jewish milieu for academic and other settings his work took on a flinty emptiness without the poignance and meaning that characterized his earlier novels. His argument with God, they said, seemed to wither into a seminar...Others, however, saw a growth in these works - his handling in ''The Tenants'' of the cultural and psychological upheaval among blacks caused by the rise of nationalism, separatism and racial pride; the powerful presence of nature in ''Dubin's Lives,'' something new for an author whose works for the most part had urban settings, and the concern with man's survival in the nuclear age in ''God's Grace.''Bernard Malamud was born April 26, 1914, in Brooklyn, the elder of two sons of Russian Jewish immigrants, Max Malamud and the former Bertha Fidelman...His father ran a small grocery, working 16 hours a day - he served as a model for the Jewish grocer in ''The Assistant.'' Looking back on his childhood, Mr. Malamud would recall that there were no books in his home, no cultural nourishment at all except that on Sundays he would listen to someone else's piano through the living-room window..Attended Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, and in 1936 he received his B.A. from the City College of New York. After graduation, he worked in a factory, in various stores and as a clerk in the Census Bureau in Washington, writing in his spare time.-Began Teaching High School..In 1940, he got a job teaching at Erasmus Hall Evening High School, and he would continue to teach in New York City evening high schools until 1949. While he was teaching, he earned an M.A. at Columbia University in 1942.-Mr. Malamud often said that the advent of World War II and the Holocaust first made him sure that he had something to say as a writer. Until then, he said, he had not given much thought to what it meant to be Jewish, but the horror of the war - as well as the fact that he married a gentile woman, Ann de Chiara, in 1945 - made him question his own identity as a Jew and compelled him to start reading about Jewish tradition and history. He knew then, he said, that he really wanted to write.-''The suffering of the Jews is a distinct thing for me,'' he once explained. ''I for one believe that not enough has been made of the tragedy of the destruction of six million Jews. Somebody has to cry - even if it's a writer, 20 years later.''In 1949, he got a job teaching English at Oregon state University, where he stayed until 1961, becoming an associate professor. He wrote four books there - ''The Natural,'' ''The Assistant,'' ''The Magic Barrel''& his third novel, ''A New Life'' (1961), which is set in the Pacific Northwest at a college not unlike Oregon State...In 1961, he went to teach at Bennington College in Vermont, where he taught for more than 20 years, with the exception of two years he spent as a visiting lecturer at Harvard from 1966 to 1968..In 1963, he published ''Idiots First,'' another story collection. That was followed by ''The Fixer'' (1966), ''Pictures of Fidelman,'' stories about one central character (1969); ''The Tenants,'' a novel about the conflict between two writers, one Jewish and the other black (1971); ''Rembrandt's Hat,'' more stories (1973); ''Dubin's Lives,'' a novel about a biographer in midlife that many critics consider one of his best (1979); ''God's Grace,'' a novel (1982), and ''The Stories of Bernard Malamud'' (1983). 'Story, Story, Story'..Mr. Malamud was a firm believer that a story should tell a story. ''With me, it's story, story, story,'' he once said. ''Writers who can't invent stories often pursue other strategies, even substituting style for narrative. I feel that story is the basic element of fiction though that ideal is not popular with disciples of the 'new novel.' They remind me of the painter who couldn't paint people, so he painted chairs..''The story will be with us as long as man is. You know that, in part, because of its effect on children. It's through story they realize that mystery won't kill them. Through story they learn they have a future...''He did not find writing an easy task. ''The idea is to get the pencil moving quickly,'' he said. ''Once you've got some words looking back at you you can take two or three - or throw them away and look for other. I go over and over a page. Either it bleeds and shows it's beginning to be human, or the form emits shadows of itself and I'm off. I have a terrifying will that way.'',. In his writing, he prized the idea of swift transition - changing a scene in one sentence between paragraphs -and he thought he might have achieved that talent by studying intercutting in motion pictures. ''I was influenced very much by Charlie Chaplin movies,'' he said, ''by the rhythm and snap of his comedy and his wonderful, wonderful mixture of comedy and sadness..He acknowledged that sadness was one of his prime topics. ''People say I write so much about misery,'' he said, but added, ''you write about what you write best.''.He described the essential Malamud character as ''someone who fears his fate, is caught up in it, yet manages to outrun it; he's the subject and object of laughter and pity.'' Left Unfinished NovelIn addition to the Pulitzer and the National Book Awards, Mr. Malamud won the Rosenthal Award of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, Vermont's 1979 Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts and the 1981 Brandeis Creative Arts Award. He was a member of the American Academy and institute of Arts and Letters, which in 1983 presented him its Gold Medal in Fiction. From 1979 to 1981 he was president of the PEN American Center. Yesterday his publisher, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, announced the establishment of a Bernard Malamud literary award, to be administered by PEN. An official at the publishing house also said it will decide at a later date whether to publish separately the novel on which Mr. Malamud was working at the time of his death, or whether to publish parts of it in a posthumous collection. For many years, Mr. Malamud did not become involved in social issues, arguing that for an author writing was involvement enough. But as president of PEN, he protested the repression of writers in the Soviet Union and South Africa and the curtailing of First Amendment rights. Although he granted occasional interviews, Mr. Malamud led an intensely private life. In ''The Ghost Writer,'' Philip Roth created a character named E. I. Lonoff, a novelist ''deeply skeptical of the public world,'' whose ideas of work and esthetic purity obliged him to live a life of solitude. A number of critics have suggested that Lonoff was a portrait of Mr. Malamud. Mr. Roth was a good friend of Mr. Malamud, and it is perhaps he who best summed up Mr. Malamud's work. Noting that Mr. Malamud was once supposed to have remarked that ''all men are Jews,'' Mr. Roth said:''What it is to be human, and to be humane, is his deepest concern.''He is survived by his wife and by a son, Paul, and a daughter, Janna. Funeral services will be private, and plans for memorial services in April will be announced at a later date.- Date: March 20, 1986, Thursday, Late City Final Edition Section D; Page 26, Column 1; Cultural Desk Byline: By MERVYN ROTHSTEIN Visually inspected owned by Adults, pictures just as important as written listing .Zoom-In ....LAXVespa Los Angeles.

Gallant, Evan H. Campbell Grant, William A. Battaglin , David E. Green, Jennifer S. Staiger, Susan C. Walls, Margaret S. Gunzburger, & Rick F. KearneyU. S. Department of the Interior & U. S. Geological SurveyU. S. Government Printing Office (#: 2006-660-744)Contributing office: Fort Collins Science Center, Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) CenterPaperback8 1/2 x 11 inches, 77 pagesAbstractThe Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) is an innovative, multidisciplinary program that began in 2000 in response to a congressional directive for the Department of the Interior to address the issue of amphibian declines in the United States. ARMI's formulation was cross-disciplinary, integrating U.S. Geological Survey scientists from Biology, Water, and Geography to develop a course of action (Corn and others, 2005a). The result has been an effective program with diverse, yet complementary, expertise.ARMI's approach to research and monitoring is multiscale. Detailed investigations focus on a few species at selected local sites throughout the country; monitoring addresses a larger number of species over broader areas (typically, National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges); and inventories to document species occurrence are conducted more extensively across the landscape. Where monitoring is conducted, the emphasis is on an ability to draw statistically defensible conclusions about the status of amphibians. To achieve this objective, ARMI has instituted a monitoring response variable that has nationwide applicability. At research sites, ARMI focuses on studying species/environment interactions, determining causes of observed declines, and developing new techniques to sample populations and analyze data. Results from activities at all scales are provided to scientists, land managers, and policymakers, as appropriate.The ARMI program and the scientists involved contribute significantly to understanding amphibian declines at local, regional, national, and international levels. Within National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges, findings help land managers make decisions applicable to amphibian conservation. For example, the National Park Service (NPS) selected amphibians as a vital sign for several of their monitoring networks, and ARMI scientists provide information and assistance in developing monitoring methods for this NPS effort. At the national level, ARMI has had major exposure at a variety of meetings, including a dedicated symposium at the 2004 joint meetings of the Herpetologists' League, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, and the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles. Several principal investigators have brought international exposure to ARMI through venues such as the World Congress of Herpetology in South Africa in 2005 (invited presentation by Dr. Gary Fellers), the Global Amphibian Summit, sponsored by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Wildlife Conservation International, in Washington, D.C., 2005 (invited participation by Dr. P.S. Corn), and a special issue of the international herpetological journal Alytes focused on ARMI in 2004 (edited by Dr. C.K. Dodd, Jr.).ARMI research and monitoring efforts have addressed at least 7 of the 21 Threatened and Endangered Species listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (California red-legged frog [Rana draytonii], Chiricahua leopard frog [R. chiricahuensis], arroyo toad [Bufo californicus], dusky gopher frog [Rana sevosa], mountain yellow-legged frog [R. muscosa], flatwoods salamander [Ambystoma cingulatum], and the golden coqui [Eleutherodactylus jasperi]), and 9 additional species of concern recognized by the IUCN. ARMI investigations have addressed time-sensitive research, such as emerging infectious diseases and effects on amphibians related to natural disasters like wildfire, hurricanes, and debris flows, and the effects of more constant, environmental change, like urban expansion, road development, and the use of pesticides.Over the last 5 years, ARMI has partnered with an extensive list of government, academic, and private entities. These partnerships have been fruitful and have assisted ARMI in developing new field protocols and analytic tools, in using and refining emerging technologies to improve accuracy and efficiency of data handling, in conducting amphibian disease, malformation, and environmental effects research, and in implementing a network of monitoring and research sites. Accomplishments from these endeavors include more than 40 publications on amphibian status and trends, nearly 100 publications on amphibian ecology and causes of declines, and over 30 methodological publications. Several databases have emerged as a result of ARMI and its partnerships; one, a digital atlas of ranges for all U.S. amphibian species, was used by the IUCN to display amphibian distribution maps in the Global Amphibian Assessment Project.Given the scope of ARMI and the panoply of projects, findings have had implications for policy. Investigations that demonstrate amphibian declines or illuminate causes of declines provide valuable information about habitat management, environmental effects, mechanisms for the spread of disease, and human/amphibian interfaces. This information has been made available to land managers, scientists, educators, Congress and other policymakers, and the public. The support afforded ARMI by Congress has been influential in the program's development and success. The value of ARMI's efforts will continue to increase as we are able to extend our studies spatially and temporally to answer critical questions with more confidence. We are using ARMI's resources efficiently and continuing to develop innovative mechanisms for leveraging resources for maximum effectiveness during challenging financial times.This report is a 5-year retrospective of the structure, methodology, progress, and contributions to the broader scientific community that have resulted from this national USGS program. We evaluate ARMI's success to date, with regard to the challenges faced by the program and the strengths that have emerged. We chart objectives for the next 5 years that build on current accomplishments, highlight areas meriting further research, and direct efforts to overcome existing weaknesses.-------------------------Most amphibian species have had very little research carried out on them. It is a field wide open for study of even some of the simplest elements. For example,very little data exists on the seasonal activities of frogs and the climatic factors that influence them. When does chorusing begin and stop, when does it reach its highest volume, what are the atmospheric conditions and variations associated with these? What are the dates for egg laying, hatching, transformation? What are the growth rates, age of sexual maturity, average and maximum longevity, duration of breeding behavior, courtship behavior, rate of dispersal, location of brumation or estivation sites? Little is known about homing ability, territorial maintenance, interaction during breeding and non-breeding times, and many other issues. It is indeed a field wide open to the curious and fascinated.There are a number of amphibian monitoring programs in the United States at both the federal and state levels. These programs rely on volunteer help to conduct their research. Plug "amphibian monitoring program" into the search engine of your choice to find one near you. You can also check with your state or province's Department of Fish and Game - they are often responsible for non-game wildlife as well. Even if you do not work on one of these projects, it would be good to check with your Fish and Game Department anyway - in some localities it is illegal to collect or harass amphibians (see the notes under requirement 11 of the Amphibians honor for more information.----------------------ARMI Mission StatementIn response to indications of worldwide declines in amphibian populations, the President and Congress directed Interior Department agencies to initiate a national program of amphibian monitoring, research, and conservation. There is an urgent need to determine the scope and severity of the problem and to investigate causes. The U.S. Geological Survey is uniquely qualified to coordinate and lead a cooperative national effort because its scientists have been in the forefront of studying amphibian populations and life history traits, measuring and monitoring environmental characteristics, and conducting research into potential causes of decline. As a result, the Agency formed the National Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI).ARMI Goals and Objectives" Provide information to natural resource managers on the status and trends of amphibians" Relate status and trends to management options at the scale of management units."

Also includes A Note on Sources. The Extraordinary Story of the Transformation of a City and a Nation. David Brinkley has written an impressionist history, comparable to a pointillist painting composed of small points of color that, seen whole, comprise a remarkably truthful record of reality. Though it is today the hub of international affairs and government, Washington, D.C. was once little more than a small Southern town that happened to host our nationally elected officials. Award-winning journalist David Brinkley remembers what it was like--how Washington awoke from its slumber and found itself with a war on its hands. Washington had to print the paper, alphabetize the bureaucracies, host the parties, pitch the propaganda, write the laws, launch the drives, draft the boys, hire the "government girls," and engage in an often hilarious administrative war of words, wit, and even wisdom. David McClure Brinkley (July 10, 1920 - June 11, 2003) was an American newscaster for NBC and ABC in a career lasting from 1943 to 1997. Brinkley received ten Emmy Awards, three George Foster Peabody Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Derived from a Kirkus review: A vivid, knowing reconstruction of the sociopolitical changes that convulsed the nation's capital just before and during WW II. Washington was something of a backwater before WW II. Isolationist sentiment remained strong on Capitol Hill, and the listless Southern seat of government was largely content to stick to the undemanding business of administering its bureaucracies. Overtaken by events, however, the city underwent an astonishing transformation that, despite geography, made it the hub of the Allies' deadly struggle against the Axis powers. Although he witnessed much of the dramatic metamorphosis as a young radio reporter, Brinkley rarely intrudes on his anecdotal narrative, which runs from the late 1930's through V-J Day. His lively account nonetheless abounds in telling details that put the chaotic times in clear perspectives. To illustrate, he notes without further comment that the ammunition ostentatiously stacked beside White House antiaircraft batteries was the wrong size--a lapse not discovered until years after the war. In like vein, he observes that when Nazi Germany marched on Poland, effectively transferring leadership of the Western world, District of Columbia residents in general and black in particular were still making do with 15,000 privies. By no coincidence, then, the first lunch-counter sit-ins occurred in wartime Washington. In the meantime, while Congress shambled along its wayward, typically partisan way, armies of dollar-a-year men, academics, nubile secretaries and others recruited or volunteering to support the war effort invaded the city, doubling its population between 1940 and 1945. The new arrivals faced shortages of every conceivable kind--housing, hotel rooms, cigarettes, decent booze, office space, typewriters, even paper. Against the helter-skelter backdrop of a wartime capital, Brinkley offers sharply etched portraits of the notables and lesser lights who were at the heart of the home-front action. In addition to F.D.R., his dramatis personae include the consequential likes of Cissy Patterson (publisher of the Times-Herald), Chester Bowles (who made the Office of Price Administration a viable agency), Beardsley Rural (the Macy's economist who devised tax withholding), Evalyn Walsh MacLean (a celebrated hostess), Drew Pearson, Senator Robert A. Taft, and Sam Rayburn (Speaker of the House). An effective, engrossing evocation of a time and place marked in about equal measure by low comedy and high drama., Ballantine Books, 1989, 2.5<
