Want to get ahead? Read Barton Bernstein's "[|The Conservative Achievement of New Deal Reform"] by Monday the 25th. So the link above is incomplete. Hopefully you got a full copy of the essay from me in class today. Assignment: First read the essay. On separate sheet of paper take notes on the following: 1. What's his main thesis? 2. What evidence does he use to support his thesis? There are several subtopics, so break it down and give specific examples for each. Be sure to cite the page number. 3. What are Bernstein's fundamental assumptions (things that he takes for granted as he writes the essay)? 4. What questions do you have for Bernstein? What areas do you think he leaves out? These are critical questions, not something like, "So Bart, what type of jobs did those farmers who were kicked off the land due to the AAA actually have? Where did they go?" 5. What examples of Bernstein's arguments are found in the Brinkley chapter 26. Cite page numbers.

That ought to do it.

The end of the worst, critically acclaimed film in America. It figures that our first "great" film is so twisted and intolerable. Watch at your own peril. Birth of Nation media type="youtube" key="BTGoIAvkKNs&rel=1" height="355" width="425"
