Former GU Professor at WAC: After Fidel: The Inside Story of Castro's Regime and Cuba's Next Leader

Thursday, Dec-15-2005

After Fidel: The Inside Story of Castro's Regime and Cuba's Next Leader
(A Meet the Author Program)

Brian Latell, Senior Associate in the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; Latin America specialist at the CIA and National Intelligence Council, Foreign Intelligence Officer with US Air Force (1963-1998); National Intelligence Officer for Latin America, CIA (1990-1994); author of Mexico at the Crossroads and After Fidel

The question of succession looms as Fidel Castro begins to falter. In After Fidel, author Brian Latell gives a compelling behind-the-scenes account of the extraordinary Castro brothers and the impending dynastic succession of Fidel's younger brother Raul.


Dr. Latell is a former CIA officer who has followed Castro for 35 years, beginning in the early sixties. He has had more access to the brothers than anyone else in this country and his briefs to the CIA have informed much of U.S. policy. Based on his knowledge of Raul Castro, Dr. Latell makes projections on what kind of leader Raul would be and how the shift in power might influence U.S.-Cuban relations. He gives an unprecedented view into Fidel and Raul's remarkable relationship, revealing how they have collaborated in policy making, divided responsibilities, and resolved disagreements for more than forty years--a challenge to the notion that Fidel always acts alone. He also gives a riveting account of what life was like as a U.S. undercover agent in Cuba.

DECEMBER 3rd ROAD TRIP TO SEE HOYA HOOPS IN OREGON

UPDATE:

Hey Folks!

Oregon Tickets are going on sale soon and they've announced the game time, so it is time for an update.

Game Time. The game is going to be televised on FSN, and the time has been set as 12 noon PST on December 3rd. Please note that it is a bit earlier than we expected.

Tickets. So far, we've been shut out by Oregon in the ticket department. I am still trying to get a broker to quote an up front fee, but since tickets go on sale soon, we need to prepare for the worst.

Here's the plan:

1. On Friday, October 21st, a week from tomorrow, tickets go on sale online at http://www.goducks.com/ (Buy online through the tickets menu in the top frame) at 8 am. Please log on and try to get some for your party. Tickets are also available by phone at 1-800-WEBFOOT but an hour later. Tickets are $21 from Oregon.

2. If you don't get tickets, or have extras, email me. Feel free to go through a broker by yourself if you'd like, but I will also consolidate any who likes to try and get tickets for folks who still want to go.

Travel. The Oregon website has some good info here: http://www.uoregon.edu/maps.shtml

Hello Fellow Alumni!

If you haven't noticed, John Thompson III has done a tremendous job turning around the Georgetown Basketball program in just a single year at the helm. After barely missing the NCAAs the last year but returning every starter, at least one preseason publication has them ranked in the Top 25! Excitement is building around the program as we work our way back to the glory days.

If you're looking to catch a game live and in person, the Men's Basketball team only has one away game scheduled anywhere near us in the Bay Area. They play the University of Oregon Ducks in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday, December 3, 2005.

We're planning a road trip. We have significant interest from our fellow Hoyas in Seattle, Portland, the Bay Area, Reno, Las Vegas and Sacramento so far, and I expect some interest from Southern California as well. So this could turn out to be quite the reunion.

Our plans right now are to meet in Eugene. We're trying to get tickets through GU or Oregon but that may not work out. So keep in mind you may have to procure tickets on your own if we can't come up with a centralized source. But even without tickets, we'll try to provide a group rate at a hotel and a place to meet up before the game. Then we'll invade a local bar before game time and then watch the Hoyas beat a tough Oregon team on their home court.

The first step though is to get a list of interested people. You aren't committing to anything here, just letting us know that you'd like to go. Once we have that, we can go about getting group rates, seeing how many tickets we need, etc. If you are interested, email me at alanmgreene@yahoo.com. Please include # of people and # of rooms. Feel free to forward this on.

** SOLD OUT **
A T-Shirt and Jeans: A Conversation on the Intricate Fabric of Globalization with Pietra Rivoli and Phil Marineau

Pietra Rivoli, Associate Professor, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University

Phil Marineau, President and CEO, Levi Strauss & Co



Observing students protesting inhumane conditions at factories that produced Georgetown-branded apparel several years ago, Professor Pietra Rivoli began a journey to investigate the globally interlaced supply chain of the garment industry. In her recent book Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy, Rivoli traces the path of a t-shirt from Texas cotton farms to Chinese factories and American retailers, ending up in a second-hand market in Africa.


Phil Marineau is President and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. The Levi's®
brand has been an American icon for more than a century, but for some has become a symbol of the shift to overseas apparel manufacturing.
With more than 40 years of experience manufacturing and marketing product internationally, Levi Strauss & Co. is not a newcomer to global trade. It was the fir global company to develop and implement a code of conduct for its suppliers and continues to innovate and advocate in the areas of global sourcing and trade.


Together Marineau and Rivoli will discuss the perceptions and misperceptions of the effects of global trade in the apparel sector and how business is responding.


Program will be followed by Prof. Rivoli signing copies of Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy.

Welcome to Northern California

Dear Bay Area Hoyas:

Another Fall is upon us. My name is Oleg Nodelman, and I am President of the Georgetown Club of Northern California. As a Hoya in the Bay Area, you are in good company. There are over 4,000 Hoyas that reside in central and northern California, and our club has over 1,000 active members. 2004 was an excellent year for the club, with events ranging from School of Foreign Service Dean Robert Galluci addressing the club on North Korean Nuclear Policy, to a career networking event that connected over 100 people and a “social drinking” cruise on the Bay. Fr. Murphy called on the Bay Area with his annual visit, last year speaking about the Holy Grail, and Hoyas helped the Holy Family Day Home, San Francisco’s oldest early education center. The club was even graced by 3 time Noble Prize nominee Bishop Samuel Ruiz speaking about the plight of the indigenous people of Chiapas.

2005 has already started off with a bang, and many more events are planned so check back regularly.

The Georgetown Club cannot continue without your help. If you are interested in being involved in any capacity, from hosting or planning events to serving on the executive committee, please email sfhoyas@gmail.com or call Oleg t 415-288-2129. The club also needs your annual membership dues to continue. Events are planned on a break-even basis, Members always receive discounts on admission, and several events are put on for free every year as a gift to local Hoyas. In 2004, active members would have saved over $100 on club events.

The club is proud to be able to bring a small piece of the Hilltop to the Bay Area. Thank you for your continued support.

HOYA SAXA!

Fr. Ron Murphy is back again for another Faculty Ambassador engagement. This time Fr. Murphy takes us on an odyssey through literature using a special lens he has developed over years of teaching literature at Georgetown. This lecture is sure to have wide appeal and you will never read fiction or look at popular mythology in the same way again. You will be moved by a sense of personal journey to, and
through, literature. Fr. Murphy will also discuss nature of
realization in his attempt to give a personal answer to an intriguing and mysterious question: "When did Jesus realize his Divinity?" This is Georgetown teaching at its best – stellar scholarship combined with warm humanism.
In the past Fr. Murphy has spoken about the Brothers Grimm, the Holy Grail and the role of the Christ as Warlord in medieval Saxon Literature. Murphy will illuminate the common thread that makes these stories so appealing to us to this very day.

Each child isassigned a primary caregiver who is responsible for meeting the basicneeds of the child and regularly communicating with the infant'sparents/ guardians. Caregivers follow each child's feeding andsleeping cycle and provide routine care and nurturing supervisionaccording to each child's needs.The physical environment has soft areas for indoor play and an outdoorarea that is separate from the toddlers. The separate play areasmaximize the infants' safety while providing open areas for movement.Infants are seen as competent human beings, capable of communicatingtheir personal needs and getting those needs met. Infants may explorethe indoor or outdoor environments as they wish, always accompanied bya caregiver.To learn more about our programs, schedule a tour, or enroll yourchild go to Parents SectionThe Toddler RoomThe toddler room, for children ages 18 – 30 months, has a toddler tocaregiver ratio of 3:1. As in our infant room, each child is assignedto a primary caregiver. A group of four toddlers and one caregiverforms a "pod." The pod usually eats and naps together.The classroom is a busy place, bustling with quiet activity. Thechildren learn by exploring the carefully chosen materials and thewell-prepared environment. Children may choose to explore the indoorclassroom environment or the outdoor play yard throughout the morning.Materials for art making, science experiments, reading, and pretendplay are available throughout the day.Through pretend play, children learn important personal care skillssuch as dressing and grooming. They also develop the social skills ofgrace and courtesy by respectfully interacting with one other. Theconsistent daily routine of the classroom also provides lessons inpersonal hygiene; we wash our hands before meals and brush our teethafter eating. Developmentally, toddlers are beginning to function ingroup settings, but attention is still given to each child'sindividual needs.Breakfast and lunch are served family style and children may also havehealthy snacks in between if they become hungry. Toddlers nap as agroup after lunch to the sounds of soft music. In the afternoon, uponwaking from their nap, snacks are offered and the children are thenallowed to play in the outdoor area.
