Barbara Tuchman: The March of Folly (1984)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) 'Don't confuse me with facts!' is a cry
heard throughout the world when it comes to
governmental decisions. Barbara
Tuchman, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, and one
of the best American historians, wrote in her book
The March of Folly (1984) that 'a phenomenon
noticeable throughout history regardless of place
or period is the pursuit by governments of policies
contrary to their own interests' . According to
her, 'self-interest is whatever conduces to the
welfare or advantage of the body being governed;
folly is a policy that in these terms is
counter-productive'. Tuchman considered folly to
be the most dangerous act of mis-government and
saw it as a 'self-destructive act carried out
despite the availability of a recognized and
feasible alternative'.

Boston + Brahmin = White Anglo Saxon Protestant
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The term "Boston Brahmin" is associated
with -- among other things -- the American premiere
of Brahms' Second Symphony. It was performed by
the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the historic
Orpheum Theatre built in 1852, on Hamilton Place
off Tremont Street. Many in the audience walked
out, and music reviewers called those who stayed
"Brahmins." Oliver Wendell Holmes called Boston
"The Hub of the Universe." Some of the so-called
"Boston Brahmins" referred to the city as
"The Athens of America." Those are some notes of
the past concerning the Brahmins, but where are
they now?
