Abstract:
I entered college in September of 1975, a working class kid from Queens whose father, Hyman Isaac, was an unemployed linotype operator (I wonder how many of our younger readers even know what that is; it's a typesetter, a trade that no longer exists), and whose mother, Sylvia Isaac, was an office secretary. I thus enrolled at Queens College, the neighborhood school, part of the City University of New York which, in 1975, offered free tuition to all New York City high school graduates. A month later, on October 30, the New York Daily News carried one of the most famous newspaper headlines of the century: “Ford to the City: Drop Dead.” The Ford in question was Gerald Ford, the unelected President of the United States who had acceded to the office from the House of Representatives when first the Vice-President (Spiro Agnew) and then the President (Richard Nixon) resigned amid scandal and disgrace. And his “drop dead” to “the city”—New York City—was a strong declaration that the US government would not bail New York out of the severe fiscal crisis in which it was mired. That same autumn, the State of New York passed the New York State Financial Emergency Act of The City of New York, placing the city in receivership, under the fiscal control of a state-appointed Emergency Financial Control Board: EFCB. That acronym, and a second with which it was conjoined—MAC, or “Big MAC,” the Municipal Assistance Corporation, the bond authority led by Felix Rohatyn that became the veritable executive office of the city—is indelibly stamped on the psyches of all who lived in and around New York in those years. For me, a teenage college student, the most palpable effect of all of this was the abolition of tuition-free higher education in New York City in 1976—a sour note during that year's bicentennial celebration of American freedom.

Abstract:
Gerald R. Ford was the 38th president of the United States. He was appointed as vice president by Richard Nixon in 1974 upon the resignation of Spiro T. Agnew. In the midst of the Watergate Crisis, Nixon resigned making Ford the only president to serve without being elected as either president or vice president. In the year 2000, 13 years after his abbreviated term in office, he was attending the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia where he developed pain in his tongue, slurring of his speech, and signs of a stroke. He was taken to the emergency room of Hahnemann University Hospital where a CT scan showed a posterior circulation stroke. Within 24 hours, all of Ford’s symptoms improved except for his tongue pain and speech. An MRI of the head and neck showed a tongue mass and he was taken to the operating room where an abscess was found. The bacteriology confirmed actinomycosis of the tongue and Ford rapidly improved after the incision and drainage. This paper will review the clinical course of Gerald Ford’s lingual actinomycosis and will discuss this rare condition.

Abstract:
Hurricane Agnes struck the United States in June of 1972, just months before a pivotal election and at the dawn of the deindustrialization period across the Northeast. The response by local, state, and national officials had long-term consequences for all Americans. President Richard Nixon used the tragedy for political gain by delivering a generous relief package to the key states of New York and Pennsylvania in a bid to win over voters. After his landslide reelection in 1972, Nixon cut benefits for disaster victims and then passed legislation to push responsibility for disaster preparation and mitigation onto states and localities. The impact led to the rise of emergency management and inspired the development of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). With a particular focus on events in New York and Pennsylvania, this book narrates how local, state, and federal authorities responded to the immediate crisis of Hurricane Agnes and managed the long-term recovery. The impact of Agnes was horrific, as the storm left 122 people dead, forced tens of thousands into homelessness, and caused billions of dollars in damage from Florida to New York. In its aftermath, local officials and leaders directed disaster relief funds to rebuild their shattered cities and reshaped future disaster policies. The book explains how the political decisions by local, state, and federal officials shaped state and national disaster policy and continues to influence emergency preparedness and response to this day.

Abstract:
This chapter agues that Nixon and Kissinger reconciled themselves to their weak hand during the final eighteen months of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. With negotiations on Vietnam dragging on and no US–China breakthrough in prospect, Nixon and Kissinger effectively adopted US–Soviet détente based on strategic arms limitation as the central fulfilment of Nixon’s promise to open “an era of negotiation” with the communist world. With eroding support for the US ABM program, this necessitated agreeing to almost all Soviet demands at SALT. The agreement banned national missile defenses and left the USSR with a commanding lead in offensive ballistic missile launchers. Contradicting his personal feelings on the importance of US superiority, Nixon publicly embraced the rhetoric of arms control advocates that emphasized the importance of stability based on superpower parity and mutual assured destruction.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how Richard Nixon mixed politics and policy in his response to Hurricane Agnes. To aid in winning his reelection bid in 1972, Nixon was determined to play politics with disaster relief legislation, mainly as it applied to New York and Pennsylvania. In order to gain Nixon as many votes as possible from the disaster, the Nixon White House wrote, and Congress enacted, the most generous disaster aid package in American history to that time: the Agnes Recovery Act of 1972. The relationship between disasters and elections has generated a body of research that shows a strong correlation between when and where presidents issue a disaster declaration. Disaster declarations are more frequent in highly competitive swing states during presidential election years, and presidents favor those states that may benefit them or their party in the election, as Nixon did in response to Hurricane Agnes.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter provides an overview of Hurricane Agnes, which swept through New York and Pennsylvania in late June of 1972. National trends influenced the federal and local response to the disaster. Hurricane Agnes struck the United States less than five months before the 1972 presidential election, and Richard Nixon's response to Hurricane Agnes was one variable in that election, which charted the course of American politics for the next three decades. In order to win reelection in 1972, President Nixon enacted the most substantial disaster aid package in history to that time, termed the Agnes Recovery Act, which he was convinced was the key to winning New York and Pennsylvania. The chapter then explains that local leaders played a crucial role in responding to the crisis in their communities and in flood recovery operations and rebuilding. Often neglected in studies of natural disaster policy is the way in which local leadership from government and the private sector interacted with representatives of the federal government to restore order and implement change. The chapter also introduces the Federal Office of Emergency Management (FEMA).

Abstract:
Chapter 10 describes the sunset of Bolger’s career. Particular focus is given to the creation of All American, Mel Brooks’s first musical, starring Bolger. The show hearkened back to the era that shaped Bolger’s core values. But, like so much of the art reflecting the culture of the 1960s, All American was actually out to lampoon these values. This story offers insight into the culture wars of the 1960s and Bolger’s changing attitude toward stardom. His increasing interest in political activities is explored. The Republican Party encouraged his participation in their activities. He performed for President Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon at the 1957 inauguration. He would go on to work on three presidential campaigns for Nixon. Bolger’s final Broadway show, Agnes de Mille’s Come Summer, also features prominently in this chapter.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Italian Americans’ response to Spiro Agnew’s candidacy for vice president in 1968 and 1972 as a case study to assess the influence of ethnic and racial factors on their electoral behavior. Republican presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon slated Agnew as his running mate in 1968 to win the white ethnics’ vote. But Agnew was also chosen over John Volpe, the governor of Massachusetts and a rising star in the Italian American political universe. Consequently, Agnew’s candidacy was likely to dissatisfy voters of Italian background with a strong ethnic consciousness. However, political retaliation against Nixon out of ethnic redress was kept to a minimum and the Republican presidential candidate underwent a significant increase in his share of the Italian American vote in comparison with his 1960 unsuccessful presidential bid. Nixon further consolidated his following among Italian American voters in 1972, as further evidence of the latter’s whitening.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how John Connally summarized the Nixon administration's economic strategy to a number of Treasury consultants when he pointed out that his philosophical conviction was that the foreigners are out to do bad things. It describes the unorthodox approach to international economic policy and cooperation with allies. A sort of gunboat diplomacy had characterized Connally's eleven months as President John F. Kennedy's secretary of the Navy in 1961 when at the height of the Cold War he sent the Sixth Fleet to the Mediterranean to demonstrate a US presence there. The chapter recounts how Richard Nixon considered Connally as a potential vice presidential running mate in place of Spiro Agnew. However, Henry Kissinger managed to prevail despite Nixon's prolonged reluctance to offer him the post that Kissinger so desperately wanted.

Abstract:
Chapter Six covers the Republican National Convention in Miami, concentrating on the behind-the-scenes campaign of Ronald Reagan. The new governor of California communicated the principles of the New Right in a more genial, telegenic way than the disastrous 1964 nominee, Barry Goldwater. Conservative delegates at the convention adored Reagan. But thanks to a deal with South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, Nixon held off a last-minute defection of southern delegates, ensuring his nomination. His vice-presidential selection of Spiro Agnew further signaled the Republican’s emerging base in the suburbs and New South.

Abstract:
During the Cold War the United States developed a strategy, which involved nuclear weapons, for deterring the Soviet Union in order to prevent Soviet aggression while avoiding nuclear war. The United States and the Soviet Union both acquired allies and clients, but many countries—styling themselves members of the “Third World”—wished to avoid alignment with either bloc. The United States became involved in an ultimately unsuccessful war to keep communist North Vietnam from conquering noncommunist South Vietnam. The Nixon administration sought to lighten the burden of the Cold War on the United States through a policy of conciliating the Soviet Union known as détente, as well as with other innovations in American foreign policy including the end of the Bretton Woods international monetary system, a rapprochement with mainland China, and the mediation of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
