Break On Through
In this brief but ambitious undertaking, Lucas Richert, chair in the history of pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, explores the impact of radical psychiatry in the United States during the 1970s. Richert's definition of the counterculture is amorphous, pointing to departures from common social standards. Of greater significance, he highlights approaches, which surfaced in both the 1960s and 1970s, to “diseased minds” (p. 2). Through…
Defending the Masses
Eric B. Easton, of the University of Baltimore School of Law, makes a contribution to the literature on the burgeoning civil liberties movement with a careful exploration of the life and times of Gilbert Roe, an early twentieth-century litigator. As Easton explains, Roe was at the cutting edge of the battle to safeguard the political freedoms articulated in the First Amendment, participating in a series of cases involving both little-known and re…

Roger Nash Baldwin and the American Civil Liberties Union
“Contradictions abounded in this epochal figure in the pantheon of American liberalism, reform, and radicalism,” writes Robert C. Cottrell of Roger Nash Baldwin, a founding father and longtime leader of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Baldwin had been born into affluence yet spent most of his life allied with radicals. He created the ACLU to check governmental encroachments on personal freedom, yet he delighted in associating with powe…
Roger Nash Baldwin and the American Civil Liberties Union
Baldwin's thirty-year tenure as director of the ACLU marked the period when the modern understanding of the Bill of Rights came into being. Recapturing the accomplishments and contradictions of America's greatest civil libertarian—a staunch defender of Communist Russia who openly admired J. Edgar Hoover and Douglas MacArthur—this riveting biography is an eye-opening view of the development of the American left.

Russia’s Parliamentary and Presidential Elections
In December 1995 General Elections Took Place in Russia for the lower house of parliament, the Duma. In constitutional terms the Duma is a relatively weak body, comparable with the French National Assembly. It initiates and enacts legislation, but must find a two-thirds majority if it is to override a presidential veto. The December elections were, however, of a disproportionate significance. The fact that they were taking place was important in …
Struggles for Justice
Change or Stasis? Progressivism and American Education, 1930-1960
As the twentieth century draws to close, contemporary observers of education in the United States seem to be in agreement about one thing only: the woeful plight of American schools. By contrast, they disagree vociferously about who or what is to blame for discipline seemingly having vanished from certain classrooms altogether, achievement test scores remaining mediocre at best, high school and college graduates lacking the most rudimentary skill…
