  Mowbray - LoveToKnow 1911
Between them were divided the estates of the house, the Mowbray dukedom of Norfolk and earldom of Surrey being also revived for the Howards (1483), and the earldom of Nottingham (1483) and earl marshalship (1485) for the Berkeleys.
Both families assumed the baronies of Mowbray and Segrave, but Henry Howard was summoned in his father's lifetime (1640) as Lord Mowbray, which was deemed a recognition of the Howards' right; their co-heirs, from 1777, were the Lords Stourton and the Lords Petre, and in 1878 Lord Stourton was summoned as Lord Mowbray and Segrave.
The heraldic badge of the house was a mulberry-tree.

Mowbray broke away from the pack of reporters covering the State Department; he saw a stunning story, one long ignored, and it was as simple as it was symptomatic of the larger bureaucratic dysfunction related to America’s immigration system: The State Department wasn’t following the law, and America’s security was being compromised.
Mowbray’s investigative reporting detailed a “courtesy culture” emanating from the highest levels at State, a climate in which foreign visa applicants were (and still are) viewed as customers to whom extraordinary deference ought to be offered.

 Inside the State Department - The Washington Times: Editorials/OP-ED   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Mowbray is the reporter and columnist who, when he was covering the State Department for National Review, had a penchant for asking tough questions and writing tougher stories, both of which made him few friends and more enemies among the department's upper echelons.
Mowbray is convinced that the major problem with the State Department is that it has too many career Foreign Service officers in high places and not enough political appointees whose loyalty would be to the president's (any president's) policies and not to those that have evolved through the years in the department.
Mowbray believes that Secretary of State Colin Powell "committed a fatal mistake in deciding that his top priority would be to promote and enhance the role of careerists at state." He notes wryly that "while Powell may have won the hearts of the Foreign Service he did not win their minds."

Mowbray documents a State Department in dire need of reform -- and he has helped make that reform possible by revealing here for the first time just how far State has strayed from its intended role as the primary agent of U.S. interests abroad.
Mowbray's thesis is that State has been monopolized by a culture that believes (as France, the UN, and the Democrats do) in talk as the first, last, and only resort in dealing with any and all threats, including the most relentless violent evil.
Numerous examples prove Mowbray's case, until the strongest evidence for a monopoly culture may be the fact that it took an outsider to write this book.
