	American Women Not Good Enough - More Men Seeking Wives Outside The U.S. [Free Republic]
		American women wouldn't be able to compete on the international market, with their big mouth and high expectations that are not warranted by the quality of merchandize they offer.
		Although there are exceptions, many American women are caught in the trap of feminist ideology, and have bought into the "men as dummies" attitude purveyed by the advertising media and reinforced by the legal system in this country which treats a man as an unnecessary appendage whom the woman would be better off without.
		Well, since you asked for it...who would want the "ideal" American wife, who decides about the time the kids are 8 and 6 to dump her hubby, but of, course demands that he support her in her "accustomed" lifestyle for the next fifteen or so years.

	Frederick Henry Osborn Papers, American Philosophical Society
		He became one of the founding members of the American Eugenics Society in 1926, an organization founded to promote eugenic education in the general public, and was associated with the Society throughout its existence.
		Elected president of the AES in 1946, he convened a meeting to discuss the reconstitution of the Society, steering it away from "propagandizing" on social policy and toward becoming a forum for the discussion of eugenic ideas with a "well-informed audience," and toward promoting scientific studies of population.
		His correspondence with Kathleen Harris is similarly revealing of how Osborn viewed the, mixing an ardent anti-communism with an opposition to the Vietnam War and a disdain for American politicians, and a dismal view of the future impact of unchecked population growth for the future of the world.

	A Guide to the Records of the Animal Behavior Society
		In 1990, the Animal Behavior Society crossed the quarter-century threshold; it is now solidly established as a major member of the community of scientific societies.
		The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) was created around 1949, and within a year or so organized its own set of "umbrella" meetings to which the various biological societies were invited.
		The problem was resolved, most informally, by agreeing that if in the future the chairperson were not a member of a parent society, he or she could delegate another member of the Executive Committee to represent the Section/Division on the governing council.

	Digging a Hole in the Ocean: Project Mohole, 1958-1966
		Ocean drilling offered a further advantage in that undersea samples, undistorted by atmospheric and surface actions, would provide better evidence of long term geological activity than would samples drawn from land.
		The American Miscellaneous Society (AMSOC), an informal group of scientists of which Munk was a member, endorsed Munk's idea.
		The group was formed in 1952 when Office of Naval Research geophysicists Gordon Lill and Carl Alexis found themselves handling research proposals that fit into no existing scientific categories.
