Nelson Rockefeller, A Biography
No full textJoe Alex Morris. Nelson Rockefeller, a biography
This is a biography which claims to provide the first inside and intimate glimpse of Nelson Rockefeller\u27s family background, schooling, business ventures and political career. Written in a cloying, adulatory tone the author goes to considerable lengths to demonstrate that Nelson Rockefeller has been unspoiled by money, that he is deeply religious, tolerant, ambitious and aggressive though democratic, that he is, in short, a regular fellow, -- as he manifested at Dartmouth, for example, by being as sloppy as anyone on campus . Morris discusses the Rockefeller children\u27s conscientious upbringing, their abstemious way of life; Nelson\u27s marriage to Mary Todhunter Clark -- at which time young Nelson was regarded by Philadelphia\u27s Main Liners as marrying into the Clark family; his early business experiments; his interest in South America and his appointment as Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs under FDR; his subsequent career in Washington and in San Francisco during the formation of the U N; the foundation of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund; and Nelson\u27s campaign for Governor of New York State. In an Appendix the author provides The Rockefeller Viewpoint on the management of government which is brief and sufficiently vague to alienate no one. Morris\u27s book is not the place to look for an objective appraisal of the tentative candidate. Steward Alsop\u27s analysis of Nixon and Rockefeller accomplished much more within more defined limits. -- Kirkus reviewhttps://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/the-rockefellers/1033/thumbnail.jp

Recovery through contradiction?
No full textWith this new drug strategy, the circle has turned. It was a Conservative government
that introduced the first drug strategy, Tackling Drugs Together, in 1995. This aimed
to reduce drug related crime, protect young people and reduce health harms by
discouraging drug use. It was criticised at the time for having unrealistic, intangible
aims and for not providing the necessary funding. New Labour’s strategies introduced
increasingly specific targets and massively expanded the funding of treatment. This
new Coalition strategy has no targets and provides no new funding
