J. D. Brannan letter to Warren G. Harding, January 24, 1921
No full textIn this letter dated January 24, 1921 (the author mistakenly writes 1920), J. D. Brannan at Harvard University Law School to President-elect Warren G. Harding in regards to his choices for cabinet appointments. Brannan recommends Senator Elihu Root for Secretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes for Attorney General, Senator John W. Weeks for Secretary of the Treasury or Secretary of the Navy, and General Leonard Wood for Secretary of War, and includes qualifications for each. After discussing tensions among the government and organized labor leaders, he does not specify an appointment for Secretary of Labor, but includes Herbert Hoover as a qualified candidate.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I

Earl Warren ::a life of truth and justice /
No full text"The definitive biography of one of history's greatest Supreme Court justices. How did a conservative Republican end up creating the most liberal Supreme Court in modern history? This new biography of Earl Warren Sr., based on primary sources and previously unpublished material, brings together for the first time family recollections, anecdotes, mementos, photos, documents, and excerpts from diaries, along with the facts of the great jurist's life. The result is the most accurate, up-to-date, and complete picture of the man available. Beginning with Warren's upbringing, and Scandinavian immigrant parents who taught him fairness, tolerance, and reverence for the truth, the author then reviews Warren's early career in California as a district attorney. There he helped put an end to corruption in the police department, tackled organized crime, and worked to end illegal gambling and offshore racketeering. After becoming governor, he fought to improve the state's public health, education, and prison systems. And he played an important role in the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower as the first Republican president in twenty years. Focusing largely on Warren's remarkable career as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, chapters are devoted to that court's landmark rulings, including Brown v. Board of Education and Miranda. In addition, the author discusses Warren's relationships with Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Finally, he delves into the Chief Justice's role in spearheading the Warren Report, the official publication documenting the investigation of President Kennedy's assassination--findings that forever etched Warren's name in history. With access to all surviving Warren family members, courtesy of Earl Warren's grandson, Judge James Warren, the author has crafted the definitive biography of one of history's greatest Supreme Court justices"-

Yecora, Hwy. 16, km. 261, barranca at W end of Mesa Campanero [48 km east of Tepoca] at an elevation of 1600m. Etymology. We take great pleasure in naming this species in honor of Jim and Joan Brock of Tucson, Arizona. Jim brought the existence of this species to the attention of the late Stephen R. Steinhauser, who had planned to name it after him, and Jim has been present during essentially all known encounters with this taxon in Sonora. Joan, a professional author in her own right, has unselfishly supported numerous lepidopterists with generous hospitality during their visits to Tucson. Distribution and phenology. To date, Onespa brockorum is known only from Sonora and Sinaloa in northwestern Mexico. Adults have been found from late April through August in canyons at about 1600m elevation in Sonora, and the specimens from Sinaloa were taken between 1820 and 1970m. As noted above under O. gala, records of Onespa gala from Sinaloa (Stanford and Opler 1993) refer to this species; while the details of the record of O. gala plotted from the state of Durango by Stanford and Opler (1993) are unknown; Onespa from Durango are most likely to represent O. brockorum. Biological notes. Various grasses (Poaceae) occur at the type locality of O. brockorum, one of which likely represents the larval foodplant; no Chusquea was observed (ADW, pers. obs.). Males guard perches on tips of vegetation 0.5 to 3 m above the ground, at least from 10:30 to 15:40 h., in riparian corridors and other sunny areas within pine-oak forest. Diagnosis and discussion. Onespa brockorum is very similar to O. gala and has historically been identified as such. The former is more brightly colored than O. gala and the macules are broader and more orange. The ventral hindwing of O. brockorum has an orange-brown aspect unlike the olive-brown venter of O. gala. Male genitalia of O. brockorum have a less robust uncus than O. gala, a shorter tegumen and saccus, a more pointed caudal end of the valva, and a heavily sclerotized small spike in the vesica in addition to the robust one. Females have narrower and less rounded lamellae, a lamella antevaginalis that is less excavate caudad, and a ductus bursae that is more convoluted cephalad.Published as part of Austin, George T. & Warren, Andrew D., 2009, New looks at and for Onespa, Buzyges, and Librita (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae), with new combinations and descriptions of a new genus and six new species, pp. 1-55 in Insecta Mundi 2009 (89) on pages 10-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.516772
Eisenhower vs. Warren : the Battle for Civil Rights and Liberties (2018)
No full textThe epic 1950s battle that would shape the legal future of the civil rights movement is chronicled here for the first time.
The bitter feud between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Chief Justice Earl Warren framed the tumultuous future of the modern civil rights movement. Eisenhower was a gradualist who wanted to coax white Americans in the South into eventually accepting integration, while Warren, author of the Supreme Court’s historic unanimous opinion in Brown v. Board of Education, demanded immediate action to dismantle the segregation of the public school system. In Eisenhower vs. Warren, two-time New York Times Notable Book author James F. Simon examines the years of strife between them that led Eisenhower to say that his biggest mistake as president was appointing that “dumb son of a bitch Earl Warren.” This momentous, poisonous relationship is presented here at last in one volume. Compellingly written, Eisenhower vs. Warren brings to vivid life the clash that continues to reverberate in political and constitutional debates today.https://digitalcommons.nyls.edu/fac_books/1100/thumbnail.jp
Analysis of two genomic variants of orang-utan hepadnavirus and their relationship to other primate hepatitis B-like viruses
No full textWe recently described orang-utan hepadnavirus (OuHV) (Warren et al., Journal of Virology, 73, 7860–7865, 1999). Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the various isolates of OuHV can be divided into two genomic variants. Two representatives from each genomic cluster were analysed both molecularly and phylogenetically. Their genome organization was highly similar to other hepadnaviruses of apes and humans. The complete genome sequences of the two OuHV types had an overall 5% sequence difference. Research on 25 seropositive Bornean orang-utans showed that, of the 19 animals infected with one variant, 12 originated from East Kalimantan. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using the full-length genomes of various primate hepadnaviruses. The tree topology revealed one cluster of Old World hepadnaviruses that is divided into two subclusters, one consisting of the ape viruses, and the other comprising the human genotypes A–E. These data suggest that the great apes and gibbons have been infected with a common ancestor hepadnavirus
Spatiotemporal associations between forests impacted by mountain pine beetle and adjacent replantings impacted by Warren root collar weevil.
No full textA concern to reforestation efforts following the recent outbreak of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, is the migration of the below-ground herbivore Warren root collar weevil, Hylobius warreni Wood, from stands with a high percentage (>80%) of mature, dead lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta var latifolia Dougl. ex. Loud., into adjacent young, replanted stands, resulting in significant levels of mortality to juvenile trees. The effects of the spatial patterns of salvage harvesting following outbreaks of mountain pine beetle on the development of Warren root collar weevil pressure in neighbouring, regenerating stands was examined in young lodgepole pine stands in the central interior of British Columbia, Canada. Gradients of tree mortality caused by feeding of Warren root collar weevils were observed and found to be dependent on characteristics of the adjacent, unsalvaged stands. Mortality was exacerbated by high components of dead pine in these stands, and became worse over time. To investigate whether reduced host availability is a potential causal factor explaining such patterns, I constructed three research plots consisting of combinations of live tree, dead tree and mixed (i.e., live and dead) tree habitats and observed dispersal patterns of labeled insects. Weevils were more likely to be captured close to the release location in the mixed and live habitats vs. the dead habitat. Movement rate was high in the dead habitat compared with the live and mixed habitats. In the plot with the dead habitat adjacent to the location of release, the probability of capture was lower, but movement rate and dispersal distance were greater, indicating that Warren root collar weevils will disperse out of a habitat with dead trees into a habitat with live trees. Implications to reforestation strategies following savage harvesting are discussed.--P.ii.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b151374
