Chief Engineer James Hamilton Tomb (1839–1929) devoted almost 12 years of his early life to wartime naval service—first in the Confederate States’ Navy during the American Civil War and then in the Marinha do Brasil during the War of the Triple Alliances. A steam engineer by profession and a torpedo expert by circumstance, Tomb was in the forefront of naval weapons technology of the period. Tomb quickly amassed not only the knowledge required of a steam engineer, but also the courage and capacity to assume important positions of command. Within days of his commissioning, he was on his way t

Educational reform, and to a lesser extent educational dissent, occupy a prominent place in the annals of U.S. education. Whether based on religious, cultural, social, philosophical, or pedagogical grounds, they are ever-present in our educational history. Although some reforms have been presented as a remedy for society’s ills, most programs were aimed toward practical transformation of the existing system to ensure that each child will have a better opportunity to succeed in U.S. society.Educational reform is a topic rich with ideas, rife with controversy, and vital in its outcome for scho

Winning the peace in Iraq may be a far greater challenge than winning the war. This challenge largely falls on President Bush, who must make clear to the world that the United States is prepared to stay the course for the multibillion dollar, multiyear commitment of US troops, civilian personnel and other resources that will be needed to achieve a lasting peace. This report explores the options of reconstruction and governance in a post-Saddam transition and describes the nature and magnitude of the post-conflict requirements. It offers 30 recommendations relating to humanitarian assistance, p
