For many diners. perennial vegetables are an acquired taste. The leaves of this wild chicory plant, for example, are frequently considered strong if eaten uncooked. Some of that bitterness can be neutralized by mixing a few of the uncommon edibles with more . traditional salad fixings like iceberg lettuce, an aimual. Chicory is probably better kn'own for its roots which can be roasted, ground and used as.a coffee substitute. AP photo A second-year rhubarb emerges from the ground in this undated photo in New Market. Va. Rhubarb is one of the most"· widely grown of any perennial vegetables, yet it's ·loaded with toxins. Its leaves and roots. are poisonous, capable· of causing nausea, dizziness, convulsions and possibly death. Avoid eating anything but the stalks of rhubarb and then only when cooked and in moderation. What you don't know about some veget~bles can hurt you BY DEAN FOSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Perennial vegetables are an enduring lot. Many are capable of surviving drought, recurring cold, deep shade and shon periods of flooding . · Some even-have developed natural defenses for discouraging predators. But those chemical and physical barriers mean people should proceed with caution, particularly when sampling new ·food plants, said Eric Toensmeier, author of "Perennial Vegetables: From Artichoke to Zuiki Taro, a Gardener~s Guide to Oyer I 00 Delicious Easy-to-Grow Edibles." "Make sure to prepare the food properly," Toensmeier said. "Some vegetables are toxic when raw, but quite healthy to eat when sufficiently cooked. Also, make sure you are eating the proper pan of the plant." Some plant-specific warnings: • Stinging nettles. Initial impressions aside, nettles are excellent for eating when boiled, Toensmeier said. They're among the very first of the green vegetables to emerge in spring, often while snow is on the ground. "Nenles are probably more appreciated by diners outside the United States," he said. "They•re·considered a gourmet plant ih Italy. But you've got to pick them with gloves on. They're covered with stinging hairs that work like little.syringes, injecting a painful mix of chemicals including formic acid. Nettles need this defense because their leaves .are so nutritious." · • Bracken rem. Fiddleheads or the coiled young fronds of many ferns are considered eminently edible, but those of the bracken variety (Pteridium aquilinium) have been linked with stomach cancer and probably should be avoided, Toensmeier said. • Water parsnip. This is an aquatic wild edible valued for the taste of its roots. "Unfonunately, it is very difficult to distinguish water parsnip from the deadly water hemlock, and so I recommend that only experienced botanists experiment with this plant," Toensmeier said. • Cactus pads. Cactus is a popular edible . plant in Mexico, where they were domesticated some 9,000 years ago. They've become three times as widely grown there as carrots, Toensmeier said; and have become an important commercial crop, especially the sweet fruits of some Opuntia cacti or '·tunas." · · The pads of many prickly pear cacti are covered with spines, however, making them a challenge to harvest and cook. Even some of the spineless varieties grow bulges called glochids. Their tiny hairs can cause itching and irritation for days, he said. Wear leather gloves and peel them a~ you would a cucumber. Rinse well to ensure all the spines and glochids have been removed. • Rhubarb. The leaves and roots of rhubarb are poisonous, capable of causing nausea, dizziness, convulsions and possibly death. Leaf stalks are the edible portions of this popular fruit-like vegetable but only after they've been cooked and only when served in moderate amounts. "Make sure to train any children who might be in your garden to avoid eating anything but the stalks of rhubarb," Toensmeier said. "The stalks contain only the relatively harmless oxalic acid." People have eaten perennial ve~etables for centuries, Toensmeier said. "They're usually easier to grow but often harder to harvest and process. Just use a bit of common sense when cooking some of these new plants for yourself, or when serving them to your friends who have never tried them before." .

Planting perennial vegetables is something like that. . Once they're there, all you. have to do is a little maintenance to yield a few seasons wonh of food. Perennial · vegetables, including th.e edible portions of trees, shrubs and vines, have gone largely unnoticed over the decades, aside from the ubiquitous rhubarb and asparagus beds planted in overgrown backyard patches. Yet these plants produce vegetable crops for many years without repla.nting, taste delicious, yield abundanti y and can be harvested when annual plants aren't available, says Eric in his Toensmeier, "Perennial Vegetables: From Artichokes to Zuiki Taro, A Gardener's Guide to Over I 00 Delicious and Easy-to-Grow Edibles." "I · think the information about what's been available out there has been greatly lacking," Toensmeier said in a telephone interview from Holyoke, Mass. "But vegetable gardening is picking way up in popularity and se.ed companies and .nurseries have begun offering more perennials. I hope those upward trends mesh and continue."

"Most vegetable gardeners want their gardens to be as productive as possible over as long a season as possible," Gill · says. "TYpical annual vegetables are planted, produce abundantly for a time, finish production and are removed," freeing up space. "Most perennial vegeta' bles are quite different in how they are grown. Take asparagus, for instance. We harvest fresh, young asparagus spears in March and Apri I here in south Louisiana. After that, there is no more production from the asparagus. However, the asparagus plants are perennial and the same . plants grow from year to year. They essentially 'own' that ·spot in the garden year'round." It's unlikely that perennials will replace annual vegetables in popularity, Toensmeier said. ''I'm not advocating that," he said. ~But there .is a place on your property for a blend of the two. These lesser-known vegetables are not just fun novelties for the garden. Perennials are plants whose time has finally come."

The Daily Sentinel NATION • WORLD Arrest made in New York City therapist slaying, but slasher's motive remains unclear Bv coLLEE" LONG AND ADAM GOLDMAN .. Monday, February 18,2008. ANNIE'S MAILBOX Chi~~ concerned about US David Tarloff, 39, center, is walked out of the 19th Precinct in New York City· Saturday. Tarloff was arrested Saturday in the vicious slaying of Kathryn Faughey, a psychologist attacked in her office with a meat cleaver, police said. The breakthrough in the case came just hours before friends, family, and former patients attended Faughey 's funeral in Manhattan. Hundreds of mourners filled St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church on Manhattan's East Side. just down the street from the crime scene. Tar)off had been arrested earlier this month on charges of punching a security guard in the face after being asked to leave St. John's Episcopal Hospital in Queens, Kelly said: It wasn't clear why Tarloff had been at the hospital. Police said they matched his prints from the Feb. I arrest with three found on a suitcase- filled with adult diapers and women's clothing - left near the basement door where the killer escaped. Also found was a smaller bag with rope. duct tape and knives not used in the attack, police said. Investigators established Tarloff's identity. at about 5:40 a.m. Saturday and found his address on an application he submitted· in 2001 to the city's Taxi & Limousine Commission, which licenses cab drivers. Police then moved swiftly to locate him, and he went voluntarily to the 19th Precinct near the scene of the attack, Kelly said. He described Tarloff's demeanor as "calm" but noted that Tar! off had cuts . on his right hand. During the short interrogation, Tarloff claimed that he had been institutionalized or incarcerated 20 times - a fig.ure that Kelly said didn't appear to be accurate. Police contifmed to collect possible evidence at Tarloff's apartment into the afternoon, Kelly said. One neighbor who has known the Tarloff family for decades, Phyllis Zicherm'an, said Tarloff had seemed down lately, but she was stunned to hear he was a suspect. "He had problems, but he was never violent," she said. Tarloff had gone to college but did not graduate and was unemployed, . neighbors said. Investigators said the pudgy, balding, middleaged killer arrived around 8 p.m. Tuesday, telling the doorman he had an appointment with Shinbach. Then he sat in the waiting room with one of Shinbach'.s patients until the patient went into his office around 8:30 p.m., police said. Sometime after that, the killer entered Faughey 's office and attacked her. Shinbach came to her aid but was assaulted, pinned behind a chair and robbed of $90. The killer then tried to attack Shinbach's patient, but she ·fended him off and. he fled, according to police. Shinbach was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center with slash wounds on his head,face and hands. Kelly said the psychiatrist was released Saturday. Kell y said investigators worked around the clock on blood and DNA samples from !he scene, and three witnesses, including Shinbach, picked Tarloff out of a lineup. Police examined every ·possible lead, combing through surveillance footage and removing evidence from the slain therapist's office. Kelly said Saturday the suspect was seen on surveillance tapes about an hour and a half before the slaying walking the same escape route he would later use.

ANNIE'S MAILBOX Chi~~ concerned about US David Tarloff, 39, center, is walked out of the 19th Precinct in New York City· Saturday. Tarloff was arrested Saturday in the vicious slaying of Kathryn Faughey, a psychologist attacked in her office with a meat cleaver, police said. The breakthrough in the case came just hours before friends, family, and former patients attended Faughey 's funeral in Manhattan. Hundreds of mourners filled St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church on Manhattan's East Side. just down the street from the crime scene. Tar)off had been arrested earlier this month on charges of punching a security guard in the face after being asked to leave St. John's Episcopal Hospital in Queens, Kelly said: It wasn't clear why Tarloff had been at the hospital. Police said they matched his prints from the Feb. I arrest with three found on a suitcase- filled with adult diapers and women's clothing - left near the basement door where the killer escaped. Also found was a smaller bag with rope. duct tape and knives not used in the attack, police said. Investigators established Tarloff's identity. at about 5:40 a.m. Saturday and found his address on an application he submitted· in 2001 to the city's Taxi & Limousine Commission, which licenses cab drivers. Police then moved swiftly to locate him, and he went voluntarily to the 19th Precinct near the scene of the attack, Kelly said. He described Tarloff's demeanor as "calm" but noted that Tar! off had cuts . on his right hand. During the short interrogation, Tarloff claimed that he had been institutionalized or incarcerated 20 times - a fig.ure that Kelly said didn't appear to be accurate. Police contifmed to collect possible evidence at Tarloff's apartment into the afternoon, Kelly said. One neighbor who has known the Tarloff family for decades, Phyllis Zicherm'an, said Tarloff had seemed down lately, but she was stunned to hear he was a suspect. "He had problems, but he was never violent," she said. Tarloff had gone to college but did not graduate and was unemployed, . neighbors said. Investigators said the pudgy, balding, middleaged killer arrived around 8 p.m. Tuesday, telling the doorman he had an appointment with Shinbach. Then he sat in the waiting room with one of Shinbach'.s patients until the patient went into his office around 8:30 p.m., police said. Sometime after that, the killer entered Faughey 's office and attacked her. Shinbach came to her aid but was assaulted, pinned behind a chair and robbed of $90. The killer then tried to attack Shinbach's patient, but she ·fended him off and. he fled, according to police. Shinbach was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center with slash wounds on his head,face and hands. Kelly said the psychiatrist was released Saturday. Kell y said investigators worked around the clock on blood and DNA samples from !he scene, and three witnesses, including Shinbach, picked Tarloff out of a lineup. Police examined every ·possible lead, combing through surveillance footage and removing evidence from the slain therapist's office. Kelly said Saturday the suspect was seen on surveillance tapes about an hour and a half before the slaying walking the same escape route he would later use.

This, they wrote, will "set the basic parameters for the U.S. presence in Iraq," which must extend .past 2008 "for progress iii stabilizing Iraq to continue." Has the administration's policy of "surge till they (Iraqis) merge" changed to "keep surging because they 're not merging"? Unclear. At the same time, the new framework they envision will not set troop levels, make security commitments or authorize permanent bases in Iraq "something neither we nor Iraqis want," they added. · Me neither.

If your next question is, "What 'shared' political, economic, cultural · and security interesis?" 1 second it. The only unanimous expression of Iraqi political will I know of was 3 parliamentary vote in favor of Hezbollah in its 2006 war with Israel. Economically speaking, Iraq is not only an increasingly enthusiastic OPEC player, it enforces the Arab boycott on Israel. And when it comes to "common" cultural interests, Iraq is, as mentioned ·above, a Shari a-supreme state where one writer was recently found guilty · of "blasphemy.'' Given the Shiism Iraq shares with · nuke-seeking Iran, . how many security interests does that leave us in common? Not that many. Maybe this accounts for the secretaries' flat tone of understatement regarding a U.S.lraq future. It certai-nly , speaks to my own concern that when we finally walk away from "democratic" Iraq, we are unlikely to leave-behind a staunch U.S. ally. If ~ when? - this comes to pass, what lessons will we take away? www.mydailysentinel.com . Obituaries Frankly, the same lessons we should have taken into Iraq. Writing in the winter 2007-08 issue of The Objective Standard, John David Lewis offers an illuminuting analysis of another U.S. occupation, this one thoroughly successful,• in Japan ( 1945-1952). President Bush, of course, frequently refers to the democratization' of Japan as a model for the democra_tization of Iraq (and the wider, Islamic Middle East). But, as Lewis' must-reatl essay makes historically clear, the pre_sident has been comparing apples and oranges. It iso't just that the total defeat and utter devastation of Japan nullifies the comparison with Iraq (which it does). There is something else. There is the completelydifferent U.S. approach to Japan's animating, warlike state religion of Shintoism, which , not incidentally, bears striking similarities to the animating. warlike state religion of Islam. In 1945, ou~ government was of one mirid regarding state Shintoism. Lewis quotes Secretary of State James · F. Byrnes, who wrote: "Shintoism, insofar as it is a religion of individual Japanese, is not to be interfered with. Shintoism, howeve·r, insofar as it is directed by the Japanese government, and as a measure enforced from above by the government, is to be done away with .. .". There will be no place for Shintoism in the schools. Shintoism as a state religion - National Shinto, that is -will go .... Our policy on this goes beyond Shinto .... The dissemination of Japanese militaristic and ultra-nationalistic ideology in any tonn will be completely suppressed." And it was, with fabulous results. Obviously, there have been no analo~ous U.S. efforts to "de-jihadtze" Islamic public culture even as the United States has spe · nt lives, limbs, money and years trying, ·essentially, to stop the jihad in the Islamic Middle Eastnot even, to take a manageable exllinple, in the U.S.funded Palestinian Authority, where state-run media continue to incite Islamically motivated violence against Jews -and Americans. And then there are all those U.S.fostered constitutions that >enshrine Sharia law - just the .sort of ideological concession our forebears would never have made. Bottom line? Hjstory . shows that the conditions that drove the model transformation of Japan do not exist today with regard to the Islamic Middle East. We're going to need another strategy ~ for starters, an immigratiop policy and new laws to halt the creef of Sharia - to ward of the Islamization of the· West. Murl Boudinot Murl W.

That bombshell wasn't expected: Chief Executive Martin Sullivan had been telling investors AlG had · "high degree of certainty" that it wouldn't have · to book major write-downs even as other financial companies tallied $140 billion in credit-related charges over the last year. Investors had to take the company at its word; its auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, did not. And thanks to · the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reform law's disclosure requirements, the public was told thjlt the auditors spotted a deficiency in the company's books. That certainly pours cold water on Sarbox critics who have been lobbying for the 2002 law to be rolled back. They co'mplain of the financial burdens that go along with the laborious task of reviewing companies' internal controls tn make sure their financial processes are properly in place. You won't find many AlG shareholders complaining about those cost> now. Monday's news from AIG shows they've gotten their money's worth. "In the post-Enron era, if is imperative for auditors to have more courage and power, which is what we are seeing here," said Edward Ketz, associate professor of accounting at the Smeal College of Business at Pennsylvania State University and co-author of the book "Fair Value Measurements." . Before the last week, the message coming from AIG management was a resounding "don't worry." Even though much of the financial world seemed to be getting rocked by the para Iysis wrecking credit markets that has devalued risky debt, AlG wasn 'i feeling much pain. AIG's credit-related hit · was expected to be relatively modest compared to the super-sized · write-downs booked at firms such as Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and UBS. As of Sept. 30, AIG recorded a $352 million unrealized market valuation loss on its portfolio of credit default swaps, which protect fixed-income , investors against default of certain securities like collateralized debt obligations. CDOs have been hit hard because of their exposure to subprime mortgages, which have been defaulting at alarming rates.

By early December, it raised its expected losses· for October and November combined to $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion. "We cannot predict the future ... but we have a high degree of certainty in what we have booked to date," CEO Sullivan said at an investor conference on Dec. 5, according to a transcript provided by Thomson Financial. That's . why Monday's news came as such a shock. -In a securities filing, AIG said that it had to lower the value of those insurance contracts it holds by an estimated $4.88 billion, before tax, for October and November ·_ al111ost four times what investors had been expecting. The updated valuation didn't even. account for December, meaning additional write-downs could come since credit conditions deteriorated as last year ended. Auditor PWC forced AIG to lower its valuations. PWC found "material weakness in its internal controls over finaneial reporting and oversight" relating to its accounting fnr the contracts, AIG said. In simple terms, analysts said the auditors seemed to take is,ue with the method thiu AIG used in its· markto-market valuations on those derivatives when there has been no active market for the debt. AIG had been using certain socalled negative basis adjustments, which lowered their mark-to-market losses; it has done away with that. Citigroup analyst Joshua Shanker noted that removing that benefit forced the drop in the company's gross valuation to grow from $352 million on Sept. 30 to nearly $6 billion two months later. AIG said Monday that its assessment of internal con-. trois is ongoing. It noted that it "believes that it currently has in place the necessary compensating controls and . procedures to appropriately determine the fmr value" of the credit default swap portfolio. Separate! y Tuesday, the company noted that the mark-to-market valuation declines don 't indicate the level of actual losses the insurer may incur in future and said they will ''not be material" to AIG. So investors are supposed to feel better now? Try again. They sent the stock down 12 percent on Monday's news to just under $45 a share, · and it hasn't moved much since. AIG has long been considered too complex for most investors to analyze, and ha> relied too often on "trust me" statements. This news rein forced the downside of that.

This, they wrote, will "set the basic parameters for the U.S. presence in Iraq," which must extend .past 2008 "for progress iii stabilizing Iraq to continue." Has the administration's policy of "surge till they (Iraqis) merge" changed to "keep surging because they 're not merging"? Unclear. At the same time, the new framework they envision will not set troop levels, make security commitments or authorize permanent bases in Iraq "something neither we nor Iraqis want," they added. · Me neither.

After that? They write: "In addition, we seek to establish a basic framework for a strong relation_s hip with Iraq, reflecting Diana West · our shared political, economic, cultural and security interests.'' If your next question is, "What 'shared' political, economic, cultural · and security interesis?" 1 second it. The only unanimous expression of Iraqi political will I know of was 3 parliamentary vote in favor of Hezbollah in its 2006 war with Israel. Economically speaking, Iraq is not only an increasingly enthusiastic OPEC player, it enforces the Arab boycott on Israel. And when it comes to "common" cultural interests, Iraq is, as mentioned ·above, a Shari a-supreme state where one writer was recently found guilty · of "blasphemy.'' Given the Shiism Iraq shares with · nuke-seeking Iran, . how many security interests does that leave us in common? Not that many. Maybe this accounts for the secretaries' flat tone of understatement regarding a U.S.lraq future. It certai-nly , speaks to my own concern that when we finally walk away from "democratic" Iraq, we are unlikely to leave-behind a staunch U.S. ally. If ~ when? - this comes to pass, what lessons will we take away? www.mydailysentinel.com . Obituaries Frankly, the same lessons we should have taken into Iraq. Writing in the winter 2007-08 issue of The Objective Standard, John David Lewis offers an illuminuting analysis of another U.S. occupation, this one thoroughly successful,• in Japan ( 1945-1952). President Bush, of course, frequently refers to the democratization' of Japan as a model for the democra_tization of Iraq (and the wider, Islamic Middle East). But, as Lewis' must-reatl essay makes historically clear, the pre_sident has been comparing apples and oranges. It iso't just that the total defeat and utter devastation of Japan nullifies the comparison with Iraq (which it does). There is something else. There is the completelydifferent U.S. approach to Japan's animating, warlike state religion of Shintoism, which , not incidentally, bears striking similarities to the animating. warlike state religion of Islam. In 1945, ou~ government was of one mirid regarding state Shintoism. Lewis quotes Secretary of State James · F. Byrnes, who wrote: "Shintoism, insofar as it is a religion of individual Japanese, is not to be interfered with. Shintoism, howeve·r, insofar as it is directed by the Japanese government, and as a measure enforced from above by the government, is to be done away with .. .". There will be no place for Shintoism in the schools. Shintoism as a state religion - National Shinto, that is -will go .... Our policy on this goes beyond Shinto .... The dissemination of Japanese militaristic and ultra-nationalistic ideology in any tonn will be completely suppressed." And it was, with fabulous results. Obviously, there have been no analo~ous U.S. efforts to "de-jihadtze" Islamic public culture even as the United States has spe · nt lives, limbs, money and years trying, ·essentially, to stop the jihad in the Islamic Middle Eastnot even, to take a manageable exllinple, in the U.S.funded Palestinian Authority, where state-run media continue to incite Islamically motivated violence against Jews -and Americans. And then there are all those U.S.fostered constitutions that >enshrine Sharia law - just the .sort of ideological concession our forebears would never have made. Bottom line? Hjstory . shows that the conditions that drove the model transformation of Japan do not exist today with regard to the Islamic Middle East. We're going to need another strategy ~ for starters, an immigratiop policy and new laws to halt the creef of Sharia - to ward of the Islamization of the· West. Murl Boudinot Murl W.

That bombshell wasn't expected: Chief Executive Martin Sullivan had been telling investors AlG had · "high degree of certainty" that it wouldn't have · to book major write-downs even as other financial companies tallied $140 billion in credit-related charges over the last year. Investors had to take the company at its word; its auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, did not. And thanks to · the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reform law's disclosure requirements, the public was told thjlt the auditors spotted a deficiency in the company's books. That certainly pours cold water on Sarbox critics who have been lobbying for the 2002 law to be rolled back. They co'mplain of the financial burdens that go along with the laborious task of reviewing companies' internal controls tn make sure their financial processes are properly in place. You won't find many AlG shareholders complaining about those cost> now. Monday's news from AIG shows they've gotten their money's worth. "In the post-Enron era, if is imperative for auditors to have more courage and power, which is what we are seeing here," said Edward Ketz, associate professor of accounting at the Smeal College of Business at Pennsylvania State University and co-author of the book "Fair Value Measurements." . Before the last week, the message coming from AIG management was a resounding "don't worry." Even though much of the financial world seemed to be getting rocked by the para Iysis wrecking credit markets that has devalued risky debt, AlG wasn 'i feeling much pain. AIG's credit-related hit · was expected to be relatively modest compared to the super-sized · write-downs booked at firms such as Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and UBS. As of Sept. 30, AIG recorded a $352 million unrealized market valuation loss on its portfolio of credit default swaps, which protect fixed-income , investors against default of certain securities like collateralized debt obligations. CDOs have been hit hard because of their exposure to subprime mortgages, which have been defaulting at alarming rates.

By early December, it raised its expected losses· for October and November combined to $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion. "We cannot predict the future ... but we have a high degree of certainty in what we have booked to date," CEO Sullivan said at an investor conference on Dec. 5, according to a transcript provided by Thomson Financial. That's . why Monday's news came as such a shock. -In a securities filing, AIG said that it had to lower the value of those insurance contracts it holds by an estimated $4.88 billion, before tax, for October and November ·_ al111ost four times what investors had been expecting. The updated valuation didn't even. account for December, meaning additional write-downs could come since credit conditions deteriorated as last year ended. Auditor PWC forced AIG to lower its valuations. PWC found "material weakness in its internal controls over finaneial reporting and oversight" relating to its accounting fnr the contracts, AIG said. In simple terms, analysts said the auditors seemed to take is,ue with the method thiu AIG used in its· markto-market valuations on those derivatives when there has been no active market for the debt. AIG had been using certain socalled negative basis adjustments, which lowered their mark-to-market losses; it has done away with that. Citigroup analyst Joshua Shanker noted that removing that benefit forced the drop in the company's gross valuation to grow from $352 million on Sept. 30 to nearly $6 billion two months later. AIG said Monday that its assessment of internal con-. trois is ongoing. It noted that it "believes that it currently has in place the necessary compensating controls and . procedures to appropriately determine the fmr value" of the credit default swap portfolio. Separate! y Tuesday, the company noted that the mark-to-market valuation declines don 't indicate the level of actual losses the insurer may incur in future and said they will ''not be material" to AIG. So investors are supposed to feel better now? Try again. They sent the stock down 12 percent on Monday's news to just under $45 a share, · and it hasn't moved much since. AIG has long been considered too complex for most investors to analyze, and ha> relied too often on "trust me" statements. This news rein forced the downside of that.

"As the frrst of every thing, in. our situation will serve to establish a Precedl!nt," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles.;' Born in 1732 into a VIrginia plantc;r family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of know ledge requisite for an 18th century VIrginia gentleman. He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the frrst skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. · From 1759 to the outbreak of the" American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like, his fellow John Adams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Hafvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence. During the Re'lolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. From 1785 to 1788 he was minister to the Court of St. James's, returning to be elected VIce President ,under George Washington. , Adams two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences for him. When Adams became President, the war between tiie French and British was causing great difficulties for the United States on the high seas and intense partisanship among con- , tending factions within the Nation. His administration focused on France, where the Directory, the ruling group, had refused to receive the American envoy and had suspended commercial relations. Adams sent three commissioners to France, but in the spring of I 798 word arrived that the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand and J1e Directory had refused to n.egotiate with them unless they would frrst pay a substantial bribe. Adams reported the insult to Congress. . The Nation broke out into what Jefferson called "the X. Y. Z. fever," increased in intensi·ty by Adams's exhortations.

"As the frrst of every thing, in. our situation will serve to establish a Precedl!nt," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles.;' Born in 1732 into a VIrginia plantc;r family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of know ledge requisite for an 18th century VIrginia gentleman. He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the frrst skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. · From 1759 to the outbreak of the" American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like, his fellow John Adams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Hafvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence. During the Re'lolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. From 1785 to 1788 he was minister to the Court of St. James's, returning to be elected VIce President ,under George Washington. , Adams two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences for him. When Adams became President, the war between tiie French and British was causing great difficulties for the United States on the high seas and intense partisanship among con- , tending factions within the Nation. His administration focused on France, where the Directory, the ruling group, had refused to receive the American envoy and had suspended commercial relations. Adams sent three commissioners to France, but in the spring of I 798 word arrived that the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand and J1e Directory had refused to n.egotiate with them unless they would frrst pay a substantial bribe. Adams reported the insult to Congress. . The Nation broke out into what Jefferson called "the X. Y. Z. fever," increased in intensi·ty by Adams's exhortations.

JAMES MONROE Born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1758, James Monroe attended the College of William and Mary, fought with distinction in the Continental Anny, and practiced law in Fredericksburg, Vrrginia. As a youthful politician, he joined the antiFederalists in the Virginia Convention which ratified the Constitution, and in 17~. an advocate of Jeffersonian policies, was elected United States ~nator. As Minister to France in 17941796, he displayed strong sympathies for the French cause; later, with Robert R. Livingston. he helped negotiate the Louisiana Purcha..e. His ambition and energy, together with the backing of President Madison, made him the Republican choice for the Presidency in 1816. With little Federalist opposition, he easily won re-elec~on in 1820. A painful economic depression undoubtedly increa.'ied the dismay of the people of the · Missouri Territory in 1819 when their application for admission to the Union as a slave state failed. An amended bill for gradually. eliminating slavery in Missouri precipitated two years of bitter debate in Congress. The Missouri Compromise bill resolved the struggle, pairing Missouri as a slave state with . Maine, a free state, and barring slavery nol1h and west of Missouri forever. In foreign affairs Monroe proclaimed the fun. dam;ntal policy that bears his name, responding to the threat that the moo: conservative govern- ments in Europe !night try to aid Spain in winning back her furmer Latin American colonies. Monroe did not begin fonnally to recognize the young sister republics until 1822, after ascertaining that Congress would vote appropriations for diplomatic missions. He and Secretary of State John Quincy Adams wished to avoid trouble with Spain until it had ceded the Aoridas, a~ was done in 1821. Great -Britain, with its powerful navy, also opposed reconquest of Latin America and suggested that the United States join in proclaiming "hands off." Ex-Presidents Jefferson arid Madison counseled Monroe to accept the offer, · but Secretary Adams advised, "It would be more canOid ... to avow our principles explicitly to Russia and France. than to come in as a cockboat in the wake of the British man-of-war." Monroe accepted Adams's advice. Not only must LatinArnericll be left alone, he warned. but also Russia must not encroach southward on the Pacific coast. " ... the American continents," he stated, "by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European Power." Some W years after Monroe died in 1831, this became known as the Monroe Doctrine. ~onday,February- 18,2008 JOHN QUINCY ADAMS The tirst President who was the son of a Pre~ident, John Quincy Adams in many respects paralleled the career as well as the temperament and viewpoints of his illustrious father. Born in Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1767, he watChed the Battle of Bunker Hill from the top of Penn's Hill above the family farm. After graduating from Harvard College, he became a lawyer. At age 26 he was appoirited Minister to the Netherlands, then promoted to. the Berlin Legation. In 1802 he was elected tO the Unit!!(~ States Senate. Serving under President · Monroe, Adams was one of America's great Secretaries of State, arranging with England for the joint occupation of. the Oregon country, obtaining from Spain the cession of the Aoridas, and formulating with the President the Monroe Doctrine. In the political tradition of the early 19th century, Adams as Secretary of State was considered the political heir to the Presidency. Within the one and only party - the Republican ~ sectionalism and factionalism were developing, and each section put up it~ own candidate for the Presidency. Adams, the candidate of the North, fell behind Gen. Andrew J~'kson in both popular and electord) votes, but received more than William H. Crawford and Henry Clay. Since no candidate had a majority of electoral votes, the election was decided among the top three. by the House of Representatives. Oay, who favored a program similar to that of Adams ' threw his cru. cia! support in the House to the New Englander. Upon becoming President, Adams appointed Clay a~ Secretary of State. Jackson and his followers charged that a "corrupt bargain" had taken place and immediately began ~ir campaign to wrest the Presidency from Adams in 1828. He proposed that the Federnl Government bring the seCtions together with a netwak of highways and canals, and that it develop and conserve the public . domilin, using funds from the sale of public lands. In 1830, the Plymouth district elected him to the House of Representatives, and there for the remainder of his life he served as a powerful leader. Above all, he fought against circumscription of civil liberties. In 1848, he collapsed on the floor of the House from a stroke. He died two days later.

He studied classics and history at Hampden-Sydney Coliege, then began the study of medicine in Richmond . . Suddenly, that same year, 1791, Harrison switched interests. He obtained a commission as ensign in the First Infantry of the Regular Anny, and headed to the Northwest, where he spent much of his life. In the campaign against the Indians, Harrison served aide-de-camp to General "Mad Anthony" Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, which opened most of the OhiQ area to settlement. After resigning from the Anny in 1798, he became Secretary of the Northwest Territory, was its first delegate to Congress, and helped obtain legislation dividing the Territory into the Northwest and Indiana Territories. In 180 I he became governor of the Indiana Territory, serving 12 years. . His priire task as governor was to obtain title to Indian JaOOs so settlers could press fawanl into the wilderness: When the Indians retaliated, Harrison was responsible for defending the settlement~. The threat against settlers became serioUs in 1809. An eloquent and energetic chieftain, Tecumseh, with his religious brother. the Prophet; began to slrengthen an Indian confed. eration to prevent further encroachment. In ' 1811 Harrison received permission to attack the confederacy. While Tecumseh was away seeking more allies, Harrison led shout a thousand men as toward the Prophet's town. Suddenly. before dawn on November 7, the Indians attacked . his camp on Tippecanoe River. After heavy fighting , ·Harrison repulsed them. but suffered I CXJ dead and wounded. The Battle of Tippecanoe, · upon which Harrison's fame was to rest, disrupted Tecumseh's confedemcy but failed to diminish Indian mids. By the spring of 1812. they were again terrorizing the fiontier. In the War of 1812 Harrison won more military laurels when he was given the command of · the Army in the Northwest with the rank of brigadier gener.d. At the Battle of the Thames, north of Lake Erie, on October 5, 1813, he defeated the combined British and Indian forces, and killed Tecumseh. The Indians scatlered, never again to offer serious resistance in what was then called the Northwest. Thereafter Harrison returned to civilian life; the Whigs, in need of a national hero, nominated him for President in 1840. He won by a majority of less than ISO ,(XX), but swept the Electordl College, 234 to 60. He arrived in Washington in February 1841. Before he had been in office a month, he caught a cold that deJeloped into pneumonia. On April4, 1841, he died - the first President to die in office - and with him died the Whig program. ·-ANDREW JACKSON Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767, Andrew Jackson received sporadic education. But in his late teens he read law for about two years, and he became an outstanding young lawyer in Tedltessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he engaged in brawls, and in a duel kified a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel. Jackson prospered sufficiently to buy slaves and to build a mansion, the Hermitage, near Nashville. He was the fust man elected from Tennessee to the House of Representatives, and he served briefly in the Senate. A major general in the War of 1812, Jackson became a national hero when be defeated the British at New Orleans. In 1824 sam! state political factions rallied around Jackson; by 1828 enough had joined "Old lflckory" to win numerous st;lte electionS and control of thj: Federal administration in Washington. As national politics polarized around Jackson and his opposition, two parties grew out of the old Republican Party - the Democratic Republicans, or Democrats, adhering to Jackson; and the National Republicans, or Whig~. opposing him. Henry Clay, Daniel Webstfr, alkl <*r Whig leaders proclaimed themselves defenders of pq>ular liberties against the usurpatioo "Jacksoo. Behind their aooJS3Cions Jay the fact that Jacksoo, wilike p:evious Presidents,did mdefer to Congress in policy-rnak. ing, but used his power of the veto and his~ leadership to ·assume coounand. The greatest party battle centered around the Second · Bank of the United States, a private corporation but virtually a Government-sponsored monopoly. When Jackson appeared hostile toward it, the Bank · threw its power against him. Clay and Webster, who~ acted as attooJeys for the Blllk:, led the fight for its recharter in Congress. ''llE bank;' Jackson told Martin Van Buren, "is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!" Jackson; in vetoing the recharter bill, charged the Bank with undue economic )Xivilege. His views won approval from the American electorate; in 1832 he polled more than 56 percent of the popular vote and almost five times a~ many electoral votes as Clay. In January of 1832, while the President was dining with friends at the White House, someone whispered to him that the Senate had rejected the nomination of Martin Van Buren as Minister to England. Jackson jumped to his feet and exclaimed, "By the Eternal! I'll smash them!" So he did. His favorite, Van Buren, became Vice President, and succeeded to.the Presidency when "Old Hickory" retired to the Hermitage, when! he died in June 1845. ·John Tyler was the ftrSt vice president to be .elevated to thi!: office of President b)' tbe death df his predecessor.

JAMES MONROE Born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1758, James Monroe attended the College of William and Mary, fought with distinction in the Continental Anny, and practiced law in Fredericksburg, Vrrginia. As a youthful politician, he joined the antiFederalists in the Virginia Convention which ratified the Constitution, and in 17~. an advocate of Jeffersonian policies, was elected United States ~nator. As Minister to France in 17941796, he displayed strong sympathies for the French cause; later, with Robert R. Livingston. he helped negotiate the Louisiana Purcha..e. His ambition and energy, together with the backing of President Madison, made him the Republican choice for the Presidency in 1816. With little Federalist opposition, he easily won re-elec~on in 1820. A painful economic depression undoubtedly increa.'ied the dismay of the people of the · Missouri Territory in 1819 when their application for admission to the Union as a slave state failed. An amended bill for gradually. eliminating slavery in Missouri precipitated two years of bitter debate in Congress. The Missouri Compromise bill resolved the struggle, pairing Missouri as a slave state with . Maine, a free state, and barring slavery nol1h and west of Missouri forever. In foreign affairs Monroe proclaimed the fun. dam;ntal policy that bears his name, responding to the threat that the moo: conservative govern- ments in Europe !night try to aid Spain in winning back her furmer Latin American colonies. Monroe did not begin fonnally to recognize the young sister republics until 1822, after ascertaining that Congress would vote appropriations for diplomatic missions. He and Secretary of State John Quincy Adams wished to avoid trouble with Spain until it had ceded the Aoridas, a~ was done in 1821. Great -Britain, with its powerful navy, also opposed reconquest of Latin America and suggested that the United States join in proclaiming "hands off." Ex-Presidents Jefferson arid Madison counseled Monroe to accept the offer, · but Secretary Adams advised, "It would be more canOid ... to avow our principles explicitly to Russia and France. than to come in as a cockboat in the wake of the British man-of-war." Monroe accepted Adams's advice. Not only must LatinArnericll be left alone, he warned. but also Russia must not encroach southward on the Pacific coast. " ... the American continents," he stated, "by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European Power." Some W years after Monroe died in 1831, this became known as the Monroe Doctrine. ~onday,February- 18,2008 JOHN QUINCY ADAMS The tirst President who was the son of a Pre~ident, John Quincy Adams in many respects paralleled the career as well as the temperament and viewpoints of his illustrious father. Born in Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1767, he watChed the Battle of Bunker Hill from the top of Penn's Hill above the family farm. After graduating from Harvard College, he became a lawyer. At age 26 he was appoirited Minister to the Netherlands, then promoted to. the Berlin Legation. In 1802 he was elected tO the Unit!!(~ States Senate. Serving under President · Monroe, Adams was one of America's great Secretaries of State, arranging with England for the joint occupation of. the Oregon country, obtaining from Spain the cession of the Aoridas, and formulating with the President the Monroe Doctrine. In the political tradition of the early 19th century, Adams as Secretary of State was considered the political heir to the Presidency. Within the one and only party - the Republican ~ sectionalism and factionalism were developing, and each section put up it~ own candidate for the Presidency. Adams, the candidate of the North, fell behind Gen. Andrew J~'kson in both popular and electord) votes, but received more than William H. Crawford and Henry Clay. Since no candidate had a majority of electoral votes, the election was decided among the top three. by the House of Representatives. Oay, who favored a program similar to that of Adams ' threw his cru. cia! support in the House to the New Englander. Upon becoming President, Adams appointed Clay a~ Secretary of State. Jackson and his followers charged that a "corrupt bargain" had taken place and immediately began ~ir campaign to wrest the Presidency from Adams in 1828. He proposed that the Federnl Government bring the seCtions together with a netwak of highways and canals, and that it develop and conserve the public . domilin, using funds from the sale of public lands. In 1830, the Plymouth district elected him to the House of Representatives, and there for the remainder of his life he served as a powerful leader. Above all, he fought against circumscription of civil liberties. In 1848, he collapsed on the floor of the House from a stroke. He died two days later.

He studied classics and history at Hampden-Sydney Coliege, then began the study of medicine in Richmond . . Suddenly, that same year, 1791, Harrison switched interests. He obtained a commission as ensign in the First Infantry of the Regular Anny, and headed to the Northwest, where he spent much of his life. In the campaign against the Indians, Harrison served aide-de-camp to General "Mad Anthony" Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, which opened most of the OhiQ area to settlement. After resigning from the Anny in 1798, he became Secretary of the Northwest Territory, was its first delegate to Congress, and helped obtain legislation dividing the Territory into the Northwest and Indiana Territories. In 180 I he became governor of the Indiana Territory, serving 12 years. . His priire task as governor was to obtain title to Indian JaOOs so settlers could press fawanl into the wilderness: When the Indians retaliated, Harrison was responsible for defending the settlement~. The threat against settlers became serioUs in 1809. An eloquent and energetic chieftain, Tecumseh, with his religious brother. the Prophet; began to slrengthen an Indian confed. eration to prevent further encroachment. In ' 1811 Harrison received permission to attack the confederacy. While Tecumseh was away seeking more allies, Harrison led shout a thousand men as toward the Prophet's town. Suddenly. before dawn on November 7, the Indians attacked . his camp on Tippecanoe River. After heavy fighting , ·Harrison repulsed them. but suffered I CXJ dead and wounded. The Battle of Tippecanoe, · upon which Harrison's fame was to rest, disrupted Tecumseh's confedemcy but failed to diminish Indian mids. By the spring of 1812. they were again terrorizing the fiontier. In the War of 1812 Harrison won more military laurels when he was given the command of · the Army in the Northwest with the rank of brigadier gener.d. At the Battle of the Thames, north of Lake Erie, on October 5, 1813, he defeated the combined British and Indian forces, and killed Tecumseh. The Indians scatlered, never again to offer serious resistance in what was then called the Northwest. Thereafter Harrison returned to civilian life; the Whigs, in need of a national hero, nominated him for President in 1840. He won by a majority of less than ISO ,(XX), but swept the Electordl College, 234 to 60. He arrived in Washington in February 1841. Before he had been in office a month, he caught a cold that deJeloped into pneumonia. On April4, 1841, he died - the first President to die in office - and with him died the Whig program. ·-ANDREW JACKSON Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767, Andrew Jackson received sporadic education. But in his late teens he read law for about two years, and he became an outstanding young lawyer in Tedltessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he engaged in brawls, and in a duel kified a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel. Jackson prospered sufficiently to buy slaves and to build a mansion, the Hermitage, near Nashville. He was the fust man elected from Tennessee to the House of Representatives, and he served briefly in the Senate. A major general in the War of 1812, Jackson became a national hero when be defeated the British at New Orleans. In 1824 sam! state political factions rallied around Jackson; by 1828 enough had joined "Old lflckory" to win numerous st;lte electionS and control of thj: Federal administration in Washington. As national politics polarized around Jackson and his opposition, two parties grew out of the old Republican Party - the Democratic Republicans, or Democrats, adhering to Jackson; and the National Republicans, or Whig~. opposing him. Henry Clay, Daniel Webstfr, alkl <*r Whig leaders proclaimed themselves defenders of pq>ular liberties against the usurpatioo "Jacksoo. Behind their aooJS3Cions Jay the fact that Jacksoo, wilike p:evious Presidents,did mdefer to Congress in policy-rnak. ing, but used his power of the veto and his~ leadership to ·assume coounand. The greatest party battle centered around the Second · Bank of the United States, a private corporation but virtually a Government-sponsored monopoly. When Jackson appeared hostile toward it, the Bank · threw its power against him. Clay and Webster, who~ acted as attooJeys for the Blllk:, led the fight for its recharter in Congress. ''llE bank;' Jackson told Martin Van Buren, "is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!" Jackson; in vetoing the recharter bill, charged the Bank with undue economic )Xivilege. His views won approval from the American electorate; in 1832 he polled more than 56 percent of the popular vote and almost five times a~ many electoral votes as Clay. In January of 1832, while the President was dining with friends at the White House, someone whispered to him that the Senate had rejected the nomination of Martin Van Buren as Minister to England. Jackson jumped to his feet and exclaimed, "By the Eternal! I'll smash them!" So he did. His favorite, Van Buren, became Vice President, and succeeded to.the Presidency when "Old Hickory" retired to the Hermitage, when! he died in June 1845. ·John Tyler was the ftrSt vice president to be .elevated to thi!: office of President b)' tbe death df his predecessor.

Polk was born in Mecklenburg County, N.C., in 1795. Studious and industrious, Polk was graduated with honors in 1818 from the University of North Carolina. In the House of Representatives, Polk was a chief lieutenant of Jackson in his Bank war. He served as Speaker between 1835 and 1839, leaving to become Governor of Tennessee. The aged Jackson, correctly sensing that the people favot'ed expansion, urged the choice of a candidate committed to the Nation's "Manifest Destiny."

Presiding over a rapidly dividing nation; Buchanan grasped inadequately the political realities of the time. Relying on constitutional ~ to close the widening rift over slavery, he failed to understand that the North would not accept constitutional arguments which favoRxl the South. Nor could he realize how sectionalism had realigned political parties: the Democrats split; the Whigs were deslroyed, giving rise to the Republicans. Born into a well-to-<lo Pennsylvania family in 1791, Buchanan, a graduate of Dickinson College, wa~ gifted as a debater and teamed in the law. · He was elected five times to the House of ·Representatives; then, after an interlude as minister to Russia; served for a decade in the Senate. He became Polk's secretary of state· and Pierce's minister to Great Britain. Service abroad helped to bring him the Democratic nomination in 1856 because it had exempted him from involvement in bitter domestic con·1roversies. As president-elect, Buchanan thought the crisis would disappear if he maintained a sectional balance in his appointments and could persuade the people to accept constitutional law as the Supreme Court interpreted it. The Court was considering the !egality of reslrict- ing slavery in the territories, and two justices hinted to Buchanan what the decision would be. Thus, in his inaugwru the president referred to the territorial question as "happily, a matter of but little practiCal importance" since the Supreme Court was about to settle it "speedily and finally." ·When Republicans won a plurality in the House in 1858, every significant bill they passed fell before southern votes in the Senate or a presidential veto. The federal government reached a stalell)ate. Sectional strife rose to such pitch in 1860 that the Democratic P..uty split into·nonhem and southern wings, each nominating its own candidate for the presidency. President Buchanan, dismayed and hesitant, denied the legal right of states to secede but hetd'that the feder31 government legally could not prevent them. He hoped for compromise. but secessionist leaders did not want comprorruse. Buchanan reverted to a policy of inac.tivity that continued until he left office. In March 1861 he retir.::d to his Pennsylvania home Wheatlrutd - wher~ he died seven years later - leaving his suc<xssor to resolve the frightful issue facing the Nation. a ABRAHAM LINCOLN Weueproad of- past heritage and the qtWity senice """..--.we prolide today!· .• , Lincoln made exttaordiLincoln warned the South in his Inaugural Address: '1n_your hands, my dissatisfied felruuy efforts to attain knowledge while wOiting !ow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.

Polk was born in Mecklenburg County, N.C., in 1795. Studious and industrious, Polk was graduated with honors in 1818 from the University of North Carolina. In the House of Representatives, Polk was a chief lieutenant of Jackson in his Bank war. He served as Speaker between 1835 and 1839, leaving to become Governor of Tennessee. The aged Jackson, correctly sensing that the people favot'ed expansion, urged the choice of a candidate committed to the Nation's "Manifest Destiny." This view prevailed at the Democratic Conventioo, where Polk was nominated on the ninth ballot.

Presiding over a rapidly dividing nation; Buchanan grasped inadequately the political realities of the time. Relying on constitutional ~ to close the widening rift over slavery, he failed to understand that the North would not accept constitutional arguments which favoRxl the South. Nor could he realize how sectionalism had realigned political parties: the Democrats split; the Whigs were deslroyed, giving rise to the Republicans. Born into a well-to-<lo Pennsylvania family in 1791, Buchanan, a graduate of Dickinson College, wa~ gifted as a debater and teamed in the law. · He was elected five times to the House of ·Representatives; then, after an interlude as minister to Russia; served for a decade in the Senate. He became Polk's secretary of state· and Pierce's minister to Great Britain. Service abroad helped to bring him the Democratic nomination in 1856 because it had exempted him from involvement in bitter domestic con·1roversies. As president-elect, Buchanan thought the crisis would disappear if he maintained a sectional balance in his appointments and could persuade the people to accept constitutional law as the Supreme Court interpreted it. The Court was considering the !egality of reslrict- ing slavery in the territories, and two justices hinted to Buchanan what the decision would be. Thus, in his inaugwru the president referred to the territorial question as "happily, a matter of but little practiCal importance" since the Supreme Court was about to settle it "speedily and finally." ·When Republicans won a plurality in the House in 1858, every significant bill they passed fell before southern votes in the Senate or a presidential veto. The federal government reached a stalell)ate. Sectional strife rose to such pitch in 1860 that the Democratic P..uty split into·nonhem and southern wings, each nominating its own candidate for the presidency. President Buchanan, dismayed and hesitant, denied the legal right of states to secede but hetd'that the feder31 government legally could not prevent them. He hoped for compromise. but secessionist leaders did not want comprorruse. Buchanan reverted to a policy of inac.tivity that continued until he left office. In March 1861 he retir.::d to his Pennsylvania home Wheatlrutd - wher~ he died seven years later - leaving his suc<xssor to resolve the frightful issue facing the Nation. a ABRAHAM LINCOLN Weueproad of- past heritage and the qtWity senice """..--.we prolide today!· .• , Lincoln made exttaordiLincoln warned the South in his Inaugural Address: '1n_your hands, my dissatisfied felruuy efforts to attain knowledge while wOiting !ow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.

Although an honest and honorable rnan,Andrew Johnson was one of the most unfortunate of President~. Arrayed against him were the Radical Republicans in Congre$s. brilliantly led and ruthless in their tactics. Born in Raleigh, N.C., in 1808, Johnson grew up in poverty. He was apprenticed to a tailor as a boy, but ran away. He opened a tailor shop in Greeneville, Tenn., married Eliza McCardle, and participated in debates at the local academy. Entering politics, he became an adept stump speaker, championing the common man and vilifying the plantation aristocracy. As a member of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 1840's and '50's, he advocated a homestead bill to provide a free farm for the poor man: During the secession crisis, Johnson remained in the Senate even when Tennessee seceded, which made him a hero in the North and a traitor in the eyes of most Southerners. In 1862 President Lincoln appointed him Military Governor of Tennessee. and Johnson used the state as a laboratory for reconsttuction. In 1864 the Republicans, contending that tl1eir National Union Party was for all loyal men, nominated Johnson, a Southerner and a Democrdt, for vice president. After Lincoln's death, President, Johnson proceeded to reconstruct the fomJCr Confederate States while Congress wa~ not in session in 1865. He pardoned all who would take an oath of allegiance, but required leaders and men of wealth to obtain special presidential pardons., By the time Congress met in December 1865, most' southern states were reconstructed, slavery was being abolished, but "black codes" to regulate ~ freedmen appeared. In March 1867, the Radicals effected their own plan of reconstruction, again placing southern states under military rule. They passed laws placing restrictions upon the president. When Johnson allegedly violated one of these, the Tenure of Office Act, by dismissing Secretary of War Edwin M. .Stanton, the House voted II articles of ,impeachment against him. He was tried by the Senate in the spring of 1868 and acquitted by one vote. In 1875, Tennessee returned Johnson to the Senate. He died a few .months later. Monday, February 18, 2008 ULYSSES S.

After five years of law practice in Lower Sandusky, he moved to Cincinnati, where he flourished as a young Whig lawyer. He fought in the Civil War. wa~ wounded in action, and rose to the rank of brevet major general. While he wa~ still in the Army, Cincinnati Republicans ran him for. the House of Representatives. He accepted the nomination, but would notcampaign,explaining, "an officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer... ought to be scalped." · Elected by a heavy majority, Hayes entered Congress in December 1865, troubled by the "Rebel influences ... ruling the White House." Between 1867 and 1876 he served three terms as Governor of Ohio. Safe liberalism, party loyalty, and a good war record made Hayes an acceptable Republican candidate in 1876. He opposed Governor Samuel J.Tilden of New York. Hayes expected the Democrats to win. When the first returns seemed to confinn this, Hayes went to bed, believing he had lost. But in New York . Republican National Chairman Zachariah Chandler. aware of :!loophole, wired leaders to stand fnm "Hayes ha~ 185 votes and is elected." The popular vote apparently wa~ 4,300,(XX) for Tilden to 4D36,(XX) for Hayes. Hayes's election depended upon contested electoral votes in l..ouisiana, South Carolina, and Florida. If all the dispuled electoral votes went to Hayes, he would win; a single one would elect Tilden. Months of uncertainty followed. In January 1877 Congress established an Electoral Commission to decide the dispute. 11\e commission, made up of eight Republicans and seven Democrats, determined all ti1C contests in.favor of Hayes by eight to seven. The final electoral vote: 185 to 184. Hayes pledged protection of the rights of Negroes in ti1C South, but at the same time advocated the restoration of "wise, honest, · and peaceful local · self-government." This meant the w.ithdrawal of troops. Hayes hoped such conciliatOry policies would lead to the building of a "new Republican party" in the South, to whif:h white businessmen and conservatives would rally. ., Many of the leaders of the new South did indeed favor Republican economic policies and approved of Hayes's financial conservatism, but they faced annihilation at the polls if they were to join the party of Reconstruction. Hayes and his Republican successors were persistent in their efforts but could not win over the "solid South." Hayes had announced in advance that he would serve only one term , and retired to Spiegel Grove, his home in Fremont, Ohio, in 1881. He died in 1893. 2008 President's Day .

He was graduated from Williams College in Massachusetts in 1856. and he returned to the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute (later Hirdm College) in Ohio as a classics professor. Within a year he was made its president. Garfield was elected to the Ohio · Senate in 1859 as a Republican. During the secession crisis, he advocated coerc- . ing the seceding states back into the Union. · . In 1862, when Union military victories had been few, he successfully Jed a brigade at Middle Creek, Ky., against Confederate troops. Meanwhile, in I862, Ohioans elected him to Congress. Garfield repeatedly won re-election for 18 years, and became the leading Republican in the House. At the 1880 Republican Convention, Garfield failed to win the Presidential nomination.for his ftiend John Sherman. Finally, on the 36th ballot, Garfield himself became the "dark horse" nominee. · By a margin of only 10,000 popular votes, Garfield defeated the Democratic nominee, Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock. As President, Garfield strengthened Federal authority over the New York Customs House, stronghold of Senator Roscoe Conkling, who was leader of the Stalwart Republicans and dispenser of patronage iti New York.

Arrayed against him were the Radical Republicans in Congre$s. brilliantly led and ruthless in their tactics. Born in Raleigh, N.C., in 1808, Johnson grew up in poverty. He was apprenticed to a tailor as a boy, but ran away. He opened a tailor shop in Greeneville, Tenn., married Eliza McCardle, and participated in debates at the local academy. Entering politics, he became an adept stump speaker, championing the common man and vilifying the plantation aristocracy. As a member of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 1840's and '50's, he advocated a homestead bill to provide a free farm for the poor man: During the secession crisis, Johnson remained in the Senate even when Tennessee seceded, which made him a hero in the North and a traitor in the eyes of most Southerners. In 1862 President Lincoln appointed him Military Governor of Tennessee. and Johnson used the state as a laboratory for reconsttuction. In 1864 the Republicans, contending that tl1eir National Union Party was for all loyal men, nominated Johnson, a Southerner and a Democrdt, for vice president. After Lincoln's death, President, Johnson proceeded to reconstruct the fomJCr Confederate States while Congress wa~ not in session in 1865. He pardoned all who would take an oath of allegiance, but required leaders and men of wealth to obtain special presidential pardons., By the time Congress met in December 1865, most' southern states were reconstructed, slavery was being abolished, but "black codes" to regulate ~ freedmen appeared. In March 1867, the Radicals effected their own plan of reconstruction, again placing southern states under military rule. They passed laws placing restrictions upon the president. When Johnson allegedly violated one of these, the Tenure of Office Act, by dismissing Secretary of War Edwin M. .Stanton, the House voted II articles of ,impeachment against him. He was tried by the Senate in the spring of 1868 and acquitted by one vote. In 1875, Tennessee returned Johnson to the Senate. He died a few .months later. Monday, February 18, 2008 ULYSSES S.

HAYES Born in Ohio in 1822, Rutherford B. Hayes was educated at Kenyon College and Harvard Law School. After five years of law practice in Lower Sandusky, he moved to Cincinnati, where he flourished as a young Whig lawyer. He fought in the Civil War. wa~ wounded in action, and rose to the rank of brevet major general. While he wa~ still in the Army, Cincinnati Republicans ran him for. the House of Representatives. He accepted the nomination, but would notcampaign,explaining, "an officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer... ought to be scalped." · Elected by a heavy majority, Hayes entered Congress in December 1865, troubled by the "Rebel influences ... ruling the White House." Between 1867 and 1876 he served three terms as Governor of Ohio. Safe liberalism, party loyalty, and a good war record made Hayes an acceptable Republican candidate in 1876. He opposed Governor Samuel J.Tilden of New York. Hayes expected the Democrats to win. When the first returns seemed to confinn this, Hayes went to bed, believing he had lost. But in New York . Republican National Chairman Zachariah Chandler. aware of :!loophole, wired leaders to stand fnm "Hayes ha~ 185 votes and is elected." The popular vote apparently wa~ 4,300,(XX) for Tilden to 4D36,(XX) for Hayes. Hayes's election depended upon contested electoral votes in l..ouisiana, South Carolina, and Florida. If all the dispuled electoral votes went to Hayes, he would win; a single one would elect Tilden. Months of uncertainty followed. In January 1877 Congress established an Electoral Commission to decide the dispute. 11\e commission, made up of eight Republicans and seven Democrats, determined all ti1C contests in.favor of Hayes by eight to seven. The final electoral vote: 185 to 184. Hayes pledged protection of the rights of Negroes in ti1C South, but at the same time advocated the restoration of "wise, honest, · and peaceful local · self-government." This meant the w.ithdrawal of troops. Hayes hoped such conciliatOry policies would lead to the building of a "new Republican party" in the South, to whif:h white businessmen and conservatives would rally. ., Many of the leaders of the new South did indeed favor Republican economic policies and approved of Hayes's financial conservatism, but they faced annihilation at the polls if they were to join the party of Reconstruction. Hayes and his Republican successors were persistent in their efforts but could not win over the "solid South." Hayes had announced in advance that he would serve only one term , and retired to Spiegel Grove, his home in Fremont, Ohio, in 1881. He died in 1893. 2008 President's Day .

Fatherless at two, he later drove canal boat iearns. somehow earning enough ·money for an education . He was graduated from Williams College in Massachusetts in 1856. and he returned to the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute (later Hirdm College) in Ohio as a classics professor. Within a year he was made its president. Garfield was elected to the Ohio · Senate in 1859 as a Republican. During the secession crisis, he advocated coerc- . ing the seceding states back into the Union. · . In 1862, when Union military victories had been few, he successfully Jed a brigade at Middle Creek, Ky., against Confederate troops. Meanwhile, in I862, Ohioans elected him to Congress. Garfield repeatedly won re-election for 18 years, and became the leading Republican in the House. At the 1880 Republican Convention, Garfield failed to win the Presidential nomination.for his ftiend John Sherman. Finally, on the 36th ballot, Garfield himself became the "dark horse" nominee. · By a margin of only 10,000 popular votes, Garfield defeated the Democratic nominee, Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock. As President, Garfield strengthened Federal authority over the New York Customs House, stronghold of Senator Roscoe Conkling, who was leader of the Stalwart Republicans and dispenser of patronage iti New York. In foreign affairs, Garfield's Secretary of State invited all American republics to ·a conference to meet in Washington in 1882. But the conference never took place.

Long before the end of the Harrison Administration, the Trea~ury surplus had evapomted, and prosperity seemed about to disappear as well. Congressional elections in 1890 went stingingly against the Republicans, and party leaders decided to abandon President Harrison although he had c_oopemted with Congress on party legislation.

TAFI' THEODORE ROOSEVELT · Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he str¥ggled-against ill health-and in his triumph, became an advocate of the strenuous .life. In 1884, his frrst wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands . of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big gan1e-he even captured an outlaw. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886. As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Govenunent should be !he great arbiter of the cimtlicting economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none. Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a "trust buster" by forcing the dissolution of a great railroad combination in the Northwest. Otlier antitru~t suits under the Sherman Act followed . Roosevelt steered the United States rnorl! actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite provCTb, "Speak softly and cany a big stick ...." Aware of the stralegic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. His coroUary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and arrogated the sole right of intervention in Latin America to the United States. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman's Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent tile Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. So111e of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective achieve111ents were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered Fl irrigation projects. Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an Afi;ican safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he on<.e remarked that he felt as tit as a bull moose, the name of his new party. While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt soon recovered-, but his words at that time would h'ave been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a h.appier life in every way." · WARREN • OHIO .VALLEY BANK Sl'm1872 Member FDIC . .-----~----~--~~~~~~ • ' .

He was nominated for President at the 1912 Democratic Convention and campaigned on a program called the New . Freedom, which stressed individualism and states' rights. In the three-way election, he received only 42 percent of the popular . vote, hut an overWhelming electorill vote. · Wilson maneuvered . through Congress three major pieces of legislation. The first was a lower tariff, the Underwood Act; attached to the measure was a graduated Federal income tax . The pa~sage of the Federal Reserve Act provided the nation with the more elastic money supply it badly needed. In 1914 antitrust legislation established a Fedeml Trade Commission to prohibit unfair business practices. Another burst of legislation followed in 1916. One new law prohibited child labor; another limited railroad workers to an eighthour day. By virtue of this legislation and the slogan "he kept us out of war," Wilson ·narrowly won re-election. But after the election, Wilson concluded that America could not remain neutral in the World War. On April 2,1917, he asked Congress for a declaration of war on Germany. Massive American effort slowly tipped the balance in favor of the Allies. Wilson went before Congress in January l918, to enunciate American war aims:__the Fourteen Points. the last of which would establish "A general association of nations ...affording n,1utual guarantees of political indeperidencu and territorial integrity to great and small states alike." Wilson later present~ to the Senate the Versailles Treaty, containing the Covenant of the League of Nations, and asked, "Dare we reject it and break the heart of the world?" But the election of 1918 had shifted the balance in Congress tq the Republicans. By seven votes, the Versailles Treaty failed in the Senate. The President, against the warnings of his doctors, had made a national tour to mobilize public sentiment for the treaty. Exhausted, he suffered a stroke and nearly died. Tenderly nursed by his second wife, Edith BollingGalt, he lived un.til 1924. G. HARDING Harding, born near Marion, Ohio, in 1865, became the publisher of a newspaper. He married a divorcee, Mrs. Florence Kling De Wolfe. He was a bustee of the Trinity Baptist Church, a director of almost every important business; and a leader in fraternal organizations and charitable enterprises. .

He served in the state Senate and as Lieutenant Governor, and unsuccessfully ran for Governor. He delivered the nominating address for President Taft at the 1912 Republican Convention.ln 1914 he was elected to the Senate, which he found "a very pleasant place," . An Ohio admirer, Harry Daugherty, began to promote Harding for tile 1920 Republican nomination because, he later explained, "He looked like a President." Thus a group of Senators, taking control of the 1920 Republican Convention wheri the pr'incipal candidates deadlocked, turned to Harding. He won the Presidential election by an unprecedented landslide of 60 percent of the popular vote. Republicans in Congress easily got the President's signature on their bills. They eliminated wartime controls and slashed taxes, established a Federal budget sy$tem, restored the high protective tariff, and imposed tight limitations upon immigra· tion.

After he left office, Harrison returned to Indianapolis, and married the widowed Mrs. Mary Dimmick in 1896, A dignified eider statesman, he di~ m 1901. Wn..LIAM H. TAFI' THEODORE ROOSEVELT · Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he str¥ggled-against ill health-and in his triumph, became an advocate of the strenuous .life. In 1884, his frrst wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands . of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big gan1e-he even captured an outlaw. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886. As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Govenunent should be !he great arbiter of the cimtlicting economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none. Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a "trust buster" by forcing the dissolution of a great railroad combination in the Northwest. Otlier antitru~t suits under the Sherman Act followed . Roosevelt steered the United States rnorl! actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite provCTb, "Speak softly and cany a big stick ...." Aware of the stralegic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. His coroUary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and arrogated the sole right of intervention in Latin America to the United States. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman's Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent tile Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. So111e of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective achieve111ents were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered Fl irrigation projects. Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an Afi;ican safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he on<.e remarked that he felt as tit as a bull moose, the name of his new party. While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt soon recovered-, but his words at that time would h'ave been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a h.appier life in every way." · WARREN • OHIO .VALLEY BANK Sl'm1872 Member FDIC . .-----~----~--~~~~~~ • ' . I ' < J 1 1 • • 1 Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia in 1856, the son of a Presbyterian minister who, during tile·Civil War, was a pastor in Georgia, and during Reconstruction, a protessor in the charred city of Columbia, South Carolina. He was nominated for President at the 1912 Democratic Convention and campaigned on a program called the New . Freedom, which stressed individualism and states' rights. In the three-way election, he received only 42 percent of the popular . vote, hut an overWhelming electorill vote. · Wilson maneuvered . through Congress three major pieces of legislation. The first was a lower tariff, the Underwood Act; attached to the measure was a graduated Federal income tax . The pa~sage of the Federal Reserve Act provided the nation with the more elastic money supply it badly needed. In 1914 antitrust legislation established a Fedeml Trade Commission to prohibit unfair business practices. Another burst of legislation followed in 1916. One new law prohibited child labor; another limited railroad workers to an eighthour day. By virtue of this legislation and the slogan "he kept us out of war," Wilson ·narrowly won re-election. But after the election, Wilson concluded that America could not remain neutral in the World War. On April 2,1917, he asked Congress for a declaration of war on Germany. Massive American effort slowly tipped the balance in favor of the Allies. Wilson went before Congress in January l918, to enunciate American war aims:__the Fourteen Points. the last of which would establish "A general association of nations ...affording n,1utual guarantees of political indeperidencu and territorial integrity to great and small states alike." Wilson later present~ to the Senate the Versailles Treaty, containing the Covenant of the League of Nations, and asked, "Dare we reject it and break the heart of the world?" But the election of 1918 had shifted the balance in Congress tq the Republicans. By seven votes, the Versailles Treaty failed in the Senate. The President, against the warnings of his doctors, had made a national tour to mobilize public sentiment for the treaty. Exhausted, he suffered a stroke and nearly died. Tenderly nursed by his second wife, Edith BollingGalt, he lived un.til 1924. G. HARDING Harding, born near Marion, Ohio, in 1865, became the publisher of a newspaper. He married a divorcee, Mrs. Florence Kling De Wolfe. He was a bustee of the Trinity Baptist Church, a director of almost every important business; and a leader in fraternal organizations and charitable enterprises. . Harding's ·undeviating Republicanism an~ vibmnt speaking voice, plus his willingness to · let tile machine bosses set policies, led him far in Ohio,politics. He served in the state Senate and as Lieutenant Governor, and unsuccessfully ran for Governor. He delivered the nominating address for President Taft at the 1912 Republican Convention.ln 1914 he was elected to the Senate, which he found "a very pleasant place," . An Ohio admirer, Harry Daugherty, began to promote Harding for tile 1920 Republican nomination because, he later explained, "He looked like a President." Thus a group of Senators, taking control of the 1920 Republican Convention wheri the pr'incipal candidates deadlocked, turned to Harding. He won the Presidential election by an unprecedented landslide of 60 percent of the popular vote. Republicans in Congress easily got the President's signature on their bills. They eliminated wartime controls and slashed taxes, established a Federal budget sy$tem, restored the high protective tariff, and imposed tight limitations upon immigra· tion.

In 1964, Johnson won the Presidency with 61 peroent of the vote and had the widest popular rnrugin in American history-more than 15SXXJro> votes. The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to edu- cation, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-SCale fight against poverty, control and prevention' of crime and delinquency, removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Under Johnson, the coun11)' made spectacular explorations of space in a program b: had championed since its start. Nevertheless, two overriding ·crises had been gaining momentum since 1965. Despite the beginning of new antipoverty.and anti-iliscrimination programs, unrest and rioting in black ghettos troubled the Nation.PresidentJohnson steadi~ ly exerted his influence against segregation and on behalf of law and order, but there was no early solution. The other crisis arose from VIC! Narn. Despite' . Johruion's efforts to end Communist aggression and achieve a settlement, fighting continued. Controversy over the war had become acute by the end of March 1968, when he limited the bombing of North VIC! Narn in order to initiate negotiations. At the same time, he startled the world by witlx!rdwing as a candidate for re-election so that he might devote his full efforts, unimpeded by politics, to the quest for peace. · When he left office, peace talks were under way; he did not live to see them sucoessful, but died suddenly of a heart attack at his Texas r.mch on January 22, 1973. -------'----------- - --- gj~ Serving Pomeroy & SunYJunmng Areti.t 740-992-6677 114 Court St. • Pomeroy A.cross from the Courthouse START COLlECTING TODAY!

During Vffirkl War II he served brlefly in the Navy as a lieutenant commander, winning a Silver Star in the South Pacific. After six tenns in dle House, Johnson W'dS elected to the Senate in 1948. In 1953, b: became the youngest Minority Leader in Senate history, and ti)e following year, when . the Democrats WOO control, Majority Leader. With rare skill he obtained passage of a lJIIlll!x7 of key EisenOOwer measures. In the I<Jro campaign, Johnson, as John F. Kennedy's running mate, was elected Vice President. On November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was assassinated, Johruion was ·sworn . in as President. .FU'St b: obtained enactment of the nrasures President Kerntedy had been urging at the time of his death-a new civil rights, bill and a tax cut. Next b: urged the Nation ''to build a great society, a place where the meaning of man's ·life matches the marvels of man's labor." In 1964, Johnson won the Presidency with 61 peroent of the vote and had the widest popular rnrugin in American history-more than 15SXXJro> votes. The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to edu- cation, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-SCale fight against poverty, control and prevention' of crime and delinquency, removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Under Johnson, the coun11)' made spectacular explorations of space in a program b: had championed since its start. Nevertheless, two overriding ·crises had been gaining momentum since 1965. Despite the beginning of new antipoverty.and anti-iliscrimination programs, unrest and rioting in black ghettos troubled the Nation.PresidentJohnson steadi~ ly exerted his influence against segregation and on behalf of law and order, but there was no early solution. The other crisis arose from VIC! Narn. Despite' . Johruion's efforts to end Communist aggression and achieve a settlement, fighting continued. Controversy over the war had become acute by the end of March 1968, when he limited the bombing of North VIC! Narn in order to initiate negotiations. At the same time, he startled the world by witlx!rdwing as a candidate for re-election so that he might devote his full efforts, unimpeded by politics, to the quest for peace. · When he left office, peace talks were under way; he did not live to see them sucoessful, but died suddenly of a heart attack at his Texas r.mch on January 22, 1973. -------'----------- - --- gj~ Serving Pomeroy & SunYJunmng Areti.t 740-992-6677 114 Court St. • Pomeroy A.cross from the Courthouse START COLlECTING TODAY!

WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON \ During the administmtion of WiHiam Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. He was the first Democmtic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second tenn. He could point to the lowest unemployment mte in modem times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's l)jstory, dropping crime mtes in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebmte the millennium in 2000, Clinton <oalled for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination. After the failure in his second year of a huge prcigrain of health care refonn, Clinton shifted emphasis, declaring "the em of big government is over." He sought legislation to upgmde education, to protect jobs of parents who must care for sick children, to restrict handgun sales, and to strengthen environmental rules. President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe ill on August 19, 1946, in Hope,Arkansas, three months after his ·father died in a tmffic accident. When he was four years old, his mother wed Roger Clinton, of Hot Springs, Arkansas. In high school, he took the family name. He excelled as a student and as a saxophone player and once ·considered becoming a professional musician. As a delegate to Boys Nation while in high school, he met President John Kennedy in the White House Rose Garden. The encounter led him tO enter a life of public service. Clinton was graduated from Georgetown University and in 1968 won a Rhodes . Scholarship to Oxf<?rd University. He received a law degree from Yale University in 1973, and entered politics in Arkansas. · He was defeated in his campaign for Congress in Arkansas's Third District in 1974. The next year he married H.illary Rodham, a gmduate of Wellesley College and Yale Law School. In 1980, Chelsea, their only child, was born. Clinton was elected Arkansas Attorney General in 1976, and 'won the governorship in 1978. After losing a bid for a second tenn, he regained the office four years later, and served until he defeated incumbent George Bush and thit'l1 party candidate Ross Perot in the · 1992 presidential mce. . Clinton and his running mate, Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore Jr., then 44, represented a new generation in American political leadership. For the first in 12 years both the White House .and Congress were held by the same party, But that political edge was brief; the Republicans won both houses of.Congress in 1994. . In 1998, as a result of issues surrounding personal indiscretions with a young woman White House intern, Clinton was the second U.S. president to be impeached by ·the ·House of Representatives. He was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He apologized to the nation for. his actions and continued to have unprecedented popular approval mtings for his job as president. In the world, he successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-tom Bosnia and bombed lmq when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evideilce of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. He became a global proponent for an expanded NATO, more open international tmde, and a worldwide campaign against drug tmfficking. He drew huge crowds when he traveled through South America, Europe, Russia, Africa, and China, advo~ catiJJg U.S. style freedom. time 'IHE FIRST LADY . • During the 1992. presidential campa1gn, Hillary Rodham Clinton observed, "Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is . ·.. For me, that balance is fami1y, work, and service." Hillary Diane Rodham, Dorothy and Hugh Rodham's first child, -was born on October 26, 1947. Two brothers, Hugh and Tony, soon followed. Hillary's childhood in Park Ridge, Ulinois, was happy and disci'plined . She loved sports and her church, and was a member of the National Honor Society, and a student leader. Her parents encouraged her to study hard and to pursue any career that interested her. As an undergradu;tte at Wellesley College, Hillary mixed academic excellence with school government. Speaking at graduation, she said, "The challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impo,ssible, possible." In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of Yale Law Review arid Social Action, interned with children's advocate Marian Wright Edelman, and met Bill Clinton. The President often recalls how they met in the library when she strode up to him and said, "If you're going to keep staring at me, I might as well introduce myself." The two were soon inseparable--partners in moot court, political campaigns, and matters of the heart. After graduation, Hillary advised the Chi,Idren 's Defense Fund in Cambridge and joined the impeachment inquiry staff advising the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. After completing those responsibilities, she "followed her heart to Arkansas," where Bill had begun his political career. · They married in 1975. She joined the faculty of the University of Arkansas Law School in 1975 and the Rose Law Finn in I 976. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the board of the Legal ·services Corporation, and Bill Clinton became governor of Arkansas. Their daughte~. Chelsea, was born in I 980. Hillary served as Arkansas's First Lady for 12 years, balancing family, law, and public service. She chaired the Arkansas ·Ec;Iucational Standards Committee, co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, and served on the boards of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, Legal Services, and the Children 's Defense Fund. As the nation's First Lady, Hillary continued to balance public service with private life. Her active role began in I 993 when the President asked her to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform. She continued to be a leading advocate for expanding health ins.urance coverage, ensunng children are properly immunized, and raising public awareness of health issues. She wrote a weekly newspaper column entitled "Talking It Over," which focused on her experiences as First Lady and her observations of women, children, and familie~ she has met around the world. Her 1996 book It Takes a Village .and Other Lessons Children Teach Us was a best seller, and she received a Grammy Award for her recording of it. As First Lady, her public involvement with many activities sometimes led to controversy.

WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON \ During the administmtion of WiHiam Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. He was the first Democmtic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second tenn. He could point to the lowest unemployment mte in modem times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's l)jstory, dropping crime mtes in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebmte the millennium in 2000, Clinton <oalled for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination. After the failure in his second year of a huge prcigrain of health care refonn, Clinton shifted emphasis, declaring "the em of big government is over." He sought legislation to upgmde education, to protect jobs of parents who must care for sick children, to restrict handgun sales, and to strengthen environmental rules. President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe ill on August 19, 1946, in Hope,Arkansas, three months after his ·father died in a tmffic accident. When he was four years old, his mother wed Roger Clinton, of Hot Springs, Arkansas. In high school, he took the family name. He excelled as a student and as a saxophone player and once ·considered becoming a professional musician. As a delegate to Boys Nation while in high school, he met President John Kennedy in the White House Rose Garden. The encounter led him tO enter a life of public service. Clinton was graduated from Georgetown University and in 1968 won a Rhodes . Scholarship to Oxf<?rd University. He received a law degree from Yale University in 1973, and entered politics in Arkansas. · He was defeated in his campaign for Congress in Arkansas's Third District in 1974. The next year he married H.illary Rodham, a gmduate of Wellesley College and Yale Law School. In 1980, Chelsea, their only child, was born. Clinton was elected Arkansas Attorney General in 1976, and 'won the governorship in 1978. After losing a bid for a second tenn, he regained the office four years later, and served until he defeated incumbent George Bush and thit'l1 party candidate Ross Perot in the · 1992 presidential mce. . Clinton and his running mate, Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore Jr., then 44, represented a new generation in American political leadership. For the first in 12 years both the White House .and Congress were held by the same party, But that political edge was brief; the Republicans won both houses of.Congress in 1994. . In 1998, as a result of issues surrounding personal indiscretions with a young woman White House intern, Clinton was the second U.S. president to be impeached by ·the ·House of Representatives. He was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He apologized to the nation for. his actions and continued to have unprecedented popular approval mtings for his job as president. In the world, he successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-tom Bosnia and bombed lmq when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evideilce of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. He became a global proponent for an expanded NATO, more open international tmde, and a worldwide campaign against drug tmfficking. He drew huge crowds when he traveled through South America, Europe, Russia, Africa, and China, advo~ catiJJg U.S. style freedom. time 'IHE FIRST LADY . • During the 1992. presidential campa1gn, Hillary Rodham Clinton observed, "Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is . ·.. For me, that balance is fami1y, work, and service." Hillary Diane Rodham, Dorothy and Hugh Rodham's first child, -was born on October 26, 1947. Two brothers, Hugh and Tony, soon followed. Hillary's childhood in Park Ridge, Ulinois, was happy and disci'plined . She loved sports and her church, and was a member of the National Honor Society, and a student leader. Her parents encouraged her to study hard and to pursue any career that interested her. As an undergradu;tte at Wellesley College, Hillary mixed academic excellence with school government. Speaking at graduation, she said, "The challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impo,ssible, possible." In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of Yale Law Review arid Social Action, interned with children's advocate Marian Wright Edelman, and met Bill Clinton. The President often recalls how they met in the library when she strode up to him and said, "If you're going to keep staring at me, I might as well introduce myself." The two were soon inseparable--partners in moot court, political campaigns, and matters of the heart. After graduation, Hillary advised the Chi,Idren 's Defense Fund in Cambridge and joined the impeachment inquiry staff advising the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. After completing those responsibilities, she "followed her heart to Arkansas," where Bill had begun his political career. · They married in 1975. She joined the faculty of the University of Arkansas Law School in 1975 and the Rose Law Finn in I 976. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the board of the Legal ·services Corporation, and Bill Clinton became governor of Arkansas. Their daughte~. Chelsea, was born in I 980. Hillary served as Arkansas's First Lady for 12 years, balancing family, law, and public service. She chaired the Arkansas ·Ec;Iucational Standards Committee, co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, and served on the boards of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, Legal Services, and the Children 's Defense Fund. As the nation's First Lady, Hillary continued to balance public service with private life. Her active role began in I 993 when the President asked her to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform. She continued to be a leading advocate for expanding health ins.urance coverage, ensunng children are properly immunized, and raising public awareness of health issues. She wrote a weekly newspaper column entitled "Talking It Over," which focused on her experiences as First Lady and her observations of women, children, and familie~ she has met around the world. Her 1996 book It Takes a Village .and Other Lessons Children Teach Us was a best seller, and she received a Grammy Award for her recording of it. As First Lady, her public involvement with many activities sometimes led to controversy. Undeterred by ' critics, Hillary won many admirers for her staunch _-supporf for women around the world and her commitment to children's \ issues . She was elected United States Senator from New York on November 7, 2000.
