	Columbia News ::: New Beginnings for a Columbia Veteran: Alan Brinkley's First Days as Provost
		Alan Brinkley has been provost of Columbia University for just over three months and is already juggling a daunting schedule as Columbia's chief academic officer.
		Brinkley finds his biggest surprise in his first days to be, "the magnitude of the job." "I knew it was a big job, but knowing it and feeling it are two different things," says the new provost in his Low Library office that overlooks Lewisohn and Earl Halls.
		Although Brinkley is on teaching leave, he continues to advise his current graduate students and hopes to return to teaching next year.

	Alan Brinkley: Liberalism in Collapse?
		Columbia historian and leading liberal Alan Brinkley has once again illustrated in his behavior something of the hypocritical and contradictory state of much of contemporary liberalism.
		Brinkley, who is provost, had previously voiced his support for unions, but in an embarrassing interview with the Columbia Spectator, attempted but failed to square that position with his union-busting role as provost.
		I'm glad that Alan Brinkley, fearful for his standing among historians, has decided to address himself to the historical community in defense of his actions as administrator.

	Columbia College Today
		Colleagues in the history department, which Brinkley had chaired since 2000, as well as at other universities, observe that Brinkley’s talents extend beyond exceptional scholarship and devoted teaching to his being an energetic and diplomatic leader in the field and a commentator for the public.
		Brinkley’s brother, Joel, is a reporter for The New York Times and a Pulitzer Prize winner; his other brother, John, is a former Washington, D.C., correspondent for the Denver Rocky Mountain News.
		Brinkley also is read widely by undergraduates and even advanced high school students, owing to his bestselling history textbooks, American History: A Survey (McGraw-Hill), which is in its 11th edition, and The Unfinished Nation: A Concise History of the American People (McGraw-Hill), coming out in its fourth edition this month.

	Alan Brinkley
		Brinkley notes how FDR, a consummate pragmatist, had held no design for recovery but rather relied on "bold experimentalism" to carry the day.
		By the time the dust had settled in 1945, all other strands of progressivism had been discarded and forgotten, leaving only the convenient yet strangely disempowering monolith of "postwar liberalism" on the political landscape.
		Brinkley is not only an expert historian but an able commentator on current events.

		With brilliant economy, Alan Brinkley uses these collected essays to explore where liberalism failed....In his view, liberalism is less a closed set of ideas than a complex political equation....Brinkley admirably carries on the liberal tradition.

	village voice > news > Nat Hentoff by Nat Hentoff
		Alan Dershowitz, a paladin of free speech and a Harvard Law School professor, in a conversation with this reporter.
		In December, Brinkley and Bollinger appointed a special committee to investigate the charges by students in the film Columbia Unbecoming, which brought to widespread light the bullying bias of certain MEALAC professors that has been known on campus for a long time.
		Alan Dershowitz, who has spoken at Columbia on this, as I am scheduled to do, says that if the committee produces "a biased result," and if he sees "a corruption of procedure occurs," there will be need for "another committee appointed by distinguished outsiders who have no position and no stake in the matter."
