Topic: List of Presidents of XXX


  
  Lee Edwards Excerpt - Chapter 13
It was a formidable list, and Gorbachev, most probably, had never read Alexis de Toqueville, who once commented, "Experience teaches that the most critical moment for bad governments is the one which witnesses the first steps toward reform."[lxiv] The Soviet Union in the middle 1980s was a very bad government attempting very radical reform.
There were some excuses about the president being "over-briefed," but the truth, as campaign adviser Stuart Spencer later admitted, was that Reagan had not debated anyone for years, and his skill at political thrust-and-parry had grown rusty.

 Introduction to Perceptions of Palestine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Saunders also indicates that a president’s or senior policymaker’s approach to Middle East questions has almost always been influenced by the particular lens through which he or she views the world.
Evidence that presidents and key policymakers very often, perhaps usually, ignore this expertise is voluminous, and it has historically been the case that those working-level bureaucrats whose analysis occasionally does reach the president or his aides are as likely as not to have no academic expertise in or historical knowledge of the conflict.
Presidents and bureaucrats come and go, and neither is likely to pass on knowledge to a successor.

Publishers, who have been scared of electronic publishing, are likely to move in on that $8,000 of internal library costs per article by pushing for a complete switch to electronic formats, and thus unwittingly become forcing agents.
Thus the decisive steps towards eliminating print versions of journals are likely to be taken by academic decision makers, the deans and presidents, when they realize how much can be saved.
