Many people have forgotten about the Great Depression . This is unfortunate because the lost arts of modesty, saving and skepticism have passed with the last generation. A time has gone in America since great strides have been made. Now, since 2001, there is question of when America will again make progress. Please consider the Tytler Cycle : Some people have started to compare the current recession to the Great Depression ( 1 , 2 , 3 ). Many of these people are making comparisons based on their own subjective claims, or worse. My research in this article is to present you with a view of primary sources from the depression (page scans from the New York Times at various dates) which show analysis, politicking, and misguided attempts to handle the situation, ultimately leading to failure and World War II.

Hello all, I am seeking a book recommendation in support (from an American's perspective) of US direct aid to Israel. The ideal book would argue that support for Israel has a positive, measurable effect on United States interests. A lame book would talk about a moral or religious case for the existence for Israel (since this is orthogonal to US national interests, and a little thing we call the First Amendment). I will read your recommendation as a contrast to my previous book,  The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy  by  John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt , which I have reviewed on my reading list .
