World War Ii Veteran

This article is dedicated to the film Wings (1966) directed by the Soviet director Larisa Shepitko. With its story of a World War II veteran, Nadezhda Stepanovna Petrukhina, Wings makes for an interesting case when looking at women’s and veteran’s status in the Soviet society of the 1960’s, and morality and memory culture more generally speaking. But as Nadezhda Stepanovna is a former fighter pilot who continuously return to the sky in her daydreams, Wings is also an excellent case for a critical discussion of the meaning of the airspace. Aviation and the airspace hold certain connotations is Russian culture (not necessarily excluding other cultures) that open up for a different kind of reading of this film, in particular because of the intersections between gender, space and memory. Hierarchies are often presented trough a metaphor of verticality in Russian culture. By examining the different notions of verticality, both physical and metaphorical, in Wings, I not only argue that this film can be read in a new way, but also bring new perspectives on the established theory of women’s position in Russian culture as morally superior to men. This again can be linked back to the spatial understanding of Russia, as the term Motherland in Russia particularly strongly makes a connection between femininity, the mother, and space, the land.

This review of the psychosocial aetiology of ischaemic heart disease is prompted by a recent decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to accept that the ischaemic heart disease of a non combatant World War II veteran could be attributed to his war service. In the light of existing clinical and research evidence the Tribunal appears to have erred in its judgement. The precedent this particular decision establishes may prove extremely costly.

The Cold War

When long-term Chicago resident and World War II veteran Rodolfo Lozoya traveled to Mexico in 1957 to visit his ailing mother, he probably did not think that he would face the threat of permanent separation from his US citizen wife and children. But when he tried to reenter the United States, authorities excluded him from the country because of his alleged past membership in the Communist Party. The saga of Lozoya’s exclusion and his family’s separation offer insights into the hypocritical nature of democracy in Cold War America. The case also sheds light on the intertwined lives of citizens and noncitizens, and how immigrant rights groups such as the Midwest Committee for Protection of Foreign Born mobilized to defend people from exclusion and deportation under the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952. Federal censors’ decision to withhold materials on Lozoya more than fifty-five years later, and thirty years after his death, points to the enduring legacy of the Cold War and to the pervasive fear of radical politics in the twenty-first century.

Close Family

It is a special pleasure for me to participate in today's symposium, in honor of my cousin Saul Krugman's 80th birthday and to celebrate his important contributions to our knowledge of infectious diseases. It so happens that I have also spent my life in the pursuit of knowledge of infectious diseases, and yet, despite our close family relationship—he is the son of my mother's brother—our paths rarely crossed until he was 35 years old. It was then that Saul, without any special training in bacteriology, virology, immunology, or pathology, decided to spend his life in academic pediatrics and infectious diseases. Was there any link between Saul's career in infectious diseases and my own, which began 64 years ago? In October 1946, after 5 years as a flight surgeon and a 6 months' residency at the Willard Parker Hospital, then the center for all the horrible communicable diseases of children in New York City, Saul applied for a residency in pediatrics. But there were no vacancies for this 35-year-old World War II veteran. It was then that Saul came to Cincinnati to seek my advice. In 1940, after a pediatric residency at Hopkins, Dr Robert Ward came to my laboratory to work on polio and other viruses. In 1943, when I left Cincinnati to join the Army, Robbie Ward was not accepted by the Army because of an old tuberculous lesion acquired on the wards of the Hopkins Harriet Lane Hospital, and he joined John R. Paul at Yale to work on polio and hepatitis.
