An old pro on political mischief in the United States gives us an overview of U.S. campaign tactics and ethics from 18th-century pamphleteers to 1990s political consultants and media wizards. Felknor analyzes negative campaigning today within the context of the evolution of our electoral system. He offers a candid report on media's influence on politics and shows how political reforms from the Progressive Era to Watergate have often misfired. This incisive analysis also provides long-forgotten, little-known, and never-told accounts of political lore written in a lively manner.

Book by Jacqueline Long; University of North Carolina Press, 1996

Subjects:

Eunuchs--Rome, Invective, Rome--History--Honorius, 395-423--Historiography

Collections: Entire Library

'My second reason is sketchy and perhaps fanciful. Claudian so completely took possession of the figure of Eutropius, that I imagine it would have been difficult for him afterwards to distinguish fully the real eunuch from his artistic image. He represents the real eunuch damningly by an exuberant ...

'My second reason is sketchy and perhaps fanciful. Claudian so completely took possession of the figure of Eutropius, that I imagine it would have been difficult for him afterwards to distinguish fully the real eunuch from his artistic image. He represents the real eunuch damningly by an exuberant literary caricature. Where such creativity has been lavished, a pleasure results. I cannot but love the literary creation, having studied him; I suspect that Claudian felt the same.' - Jacqueline Long, author.

A strange and repugnant mystery of the twentieth century is the durability of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a clumsy forgery purporting to be evidence of the supposed Jewish plot to rule the world. Though it has been exposed as a forgery, some apprentice brownshirt is always rediscovering it, the latest in a line of gullibility that includes, most famously, Henry Ford. Recently it has been translated into Japanese and circulates once again with renewed virulence in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. In 1924 in Germany the Jewish author and journalist Binjamin Segel wrote a major historical expose of the fraud and later edited his work into a shorter form, published as Welt-Krieg, Welt-Revolution, Welt-Verschworung, Welt-Oberregierung (Berlin 1926). Translator Richard S. Levy, a specialist on the history of antisemitism, provides an extensive introduction on the circumstances of Segel's work and the story of the Protocols up to the 1990s, including an explanation of its continuing psychological appeal and political function.
