![]() ![]() Ridgway’s admonitions forecast inherent problems in a Cold War period increasingly dubbed an era of “limited war.” In short, the very definition of wartime victory seemed in flux. Civilian and military authorities had to set attainable goals and work closely in selecting the means to achieve them. Yet what was the purpose of war and strategy if not the complete destruction of enemy forces? In a time when men had “control of machines capable of laying a world to waste,” Ridgway believed escalation without restraint would lead to disaster. and a return to the status quo.” 1 Thus, President Harry Truman’s decision in April to relieve General Douglas MacArthur-who in Ridgway’s words “envisaged no less than the global defeat of communism”-suggested that political limitations were now an intrinsic part of developing and implementing strategy in a time of war. Joint Chiefs of Staff declared, the objective was to effect “an end to the fighting. ![]() Though the enemy had suffered heavily under the weight of allied ground and air power, Washington and its partners had little stomach to press northward. Ridgway, dug in as both sides agreed to open negotiations.

In the end, the Vietnam War exposed the limits of what American military power could achieve in the Cold War era.īy mid-June 1951, the Korean War had settled into an uneasy, yet conspicuous stalemate. policymakers had asked too much of those crafting military strategy to deliver on overly ambitious political objectives. By asking military strategists to simultaneously fight a war and build a nation, senior U.S. Yet the faith of these Americans in their power to resolve deep-seated local and regional sociopolitical problems eclipsed the possibility there might be limits to that power. Contemporary policymakers clearly understood the difficulties of waging a war in Southeast Asia against an enemy committed to national liberation. On their own, none of these arguments fully satisfy. Still others argued “winning” was essentially impossible given the true nature of a struggle over Vietnamese national identity in the postcolonial era. politicians failed to commit their nation’s full military might to a limited war, others contended that most officers fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the war they were fighting. Historians of the conflict and participants alike have since critiqued the ways in which civilian policymakers and uniformed leaders applied-some argued misapplied-military power that led to such an undesirable political outcome. troops departed in 1973, the collapse of South Vietnam in 1975 prompted a lasting search to explain the United States’ first lost war. ![]() For nearly a decade, American combat soldiers fought in South Vietnam to help sustain an independent, noncommunist nation in Southeast Asia. ![]()

It’s so good, in fact, that it makes you wonder what anyone is doing singing “Happy Birthday to You,” and why so many of us persist in the habit despite compelling reasons to abandon it entirely. It’s joyous and effervescent it has beds of smooth’ 80s synths and is, absurdly, almost six minutes long. Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” is extremely delightful. “Black people (me and my entire family, for instance) have been singing it at birthday parties for decades… It’s infinitely cooler and more soulful than the white thing that may have inspired it.” “Yes, the black ‘Happy Birthday’ is real,” she writes. In 2016, Aisha Harris wrote a paeon for Slate about what she simply calls “the black Happy Birthday song,” which, she discovered when she informally polled them, her white friends had almost uniformly never heard of. ![]() Indeed, black families all over America have tended to prefer “Happy Birthday” to the white-favoured “Happy Birthday to You,” defaulting to it in unison each year. ![]() King’s ideas are now regularly taken out of context (often by right wingers) and his more radical ideas ignored, Wonder’s song, while delightful as melody, shouldn’t be heard as just a harmless tune, but a very successful piece of political agitation.Noah’s was not the only family to substitute Wonder’s ballad for the traditional. Even after Ronald Reagan signed it into law in 1983 several states refused to acknowledge it (which would inspire Chuck D to write “By the Time I Get To Arizona” for Public Enemy.) Just as Dr. There was great opposition to the King Holiday movement. In the case of Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” its important, I think at this time, to reclaim it as a political anthem. The beauty of a great song is that, whatever the songwriter’s intent, it has its own life, gaining new meanings and is used in new ways that obscure its origins. That they should make it become an illusion But there’s a long middle section of the song that makes Wonder’s bigger goal explicit. As the cake is brought out at most parties folks clap along as they sing the chorus. While Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” is now a staple of celebrations most folks know the infectious hook and, maybe, the first verse. What I’ve found interesting is how many people don’t know that Wonder’s song is about King (and I’m not just talking about people in their 20s.) An informal survey of adults from 40s to 20s found that most of them did not know the song’s inspiration was in political agitation. Age and time have weakened my recall on that important detail. Ironically I don’t recall a performance of “Happy Birthday,” the track off 1980’s ‘Hotter Than July’ that celebrated King and argued for the King holiday. ![]() Admittedly my memories of the day are a bit fuzzy: I remember standing on the Washington Mall listening to various activist speak recall the presence of both Gil Scott-Heron (who was a big supporter of the effort) and Gladys Knight can still feel my feet getting cold in the biting January air and Wonder giving a rambling speech. for the day as part of new gig at Record World magazine, a now defunct music trade publication, where I had recently started as a staff reporter covering the black music scene. King’s January 15th birthday as a national holiday, Wonder had embraced the idea and made the effort an signature part of his legacy.

In 1981 the multi-talented singer-songwriter-musician-producer was coming off one of the greatest runs of creative and commercial success in history.

Anybody have any other ideas? Rhino for Mac can’t print well, nor can it render well, so what is it for now that it is a commercial release?

![]() ![]() ![]() All other carotenoids, including lycopene, have no beta-ring and thus no vitamin A activity -although they may have antioxidant activity and thus biological activity in other ways. The carotenes α-carotene and γ-carotene, due to their single retinyl group -β-ionone ring-, also have some vitamin A activity -though less than β-carotene-, as does the xanthophyll carotenoid β-cryptoxanthin. β-Carotene can be stored in the liver and body fat and converted to retinal as needed, thus making it a form of vitamin A for humans and some other mammals. β-Carotene is composed of two retinyl groups, and is broken down in the mucosa of the human small intestine by β-carotene 15‚15'-monooxygenase to retinal, a form of vitamin A. They also protect plant tissues by helping to absorb the energy from singlet oxygen, an excited form of the oxygen molecule O2 which is formed during photosynthesis. Carotenes contribute to photosynthesis by transmitting the light energy they absorb to chlorophyll. The typical yellow-coloured fat of humans and chickens is a result of fat storage of carotenes from their diets. ![]() Omnivorous animal species which are relatively poor converters of coloured dietary carotenoids to colourless retinoids have yellowed-coloured body fat, as a result of the carotenoid retention from the vegetable portion of their diet. They also -in lower concentrations- impart the yellow coloration to milk-fat and butter. Carotenes are also responsible for the orange -but not all of the yellow- colours in dry foliage. Carotenes are responsible for the orange colour of the carrot, for which this class of chemicals is named, and for the colours of many other fruits, vegetables and fungi -for example, sweet potatoes, chanterelle and orange cantaloupe melon. They absorb ultraviolet, violet, and blue light and scatter orange or red light, and -in low concentrations- yellow light. Carotenes are photosynthetic pigments important for photosynthesis. Carotene: The term carotene -also carotin, from the Latin carota, "carrot"- is used for many related unsaturated hydrocarbon substances having the formula C40Hx, which are synthesized by plants but in general cannot be made by animals -with the exception of some aphids and spider mites which acquired the synthesizing genes from fungi. ![]() |
