prize!!

NOTICE: 
 
THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN's annual prize contest for the best use 
and/or worst misuse of history in. U.S. public policymaking in 
1995 is approaching the end of the competition for this epochal 
year. (For the winners in 1994 and the rules of the contest, 
see THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN, Spring 1995 issue.) 
 
The editors solicit nominations from all historians (and others) 
who have been struck by the wisdom, or the foolishness, of history- 
uses to justify, explain, or formulate public policy at any level of 
U.S. government in 1995.  Please send documentation illuminating 
the policy setting and the use of history in a given situation. 
 
The 1995 contest closes on 15 December.  We hope for a bipartisan 
basket of nominations, so that President Clinton will not necessarily 
dominate the scene, as he (and Hillary Rodham Clinton) did in 
1994.  Hasn't New used, or misused, history?  To your 
dis/pleasure? 
 
NOMINATIONS AND INQUIRIES SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO: 
 
        Otis L. Graham, Jr., Editor 
                or Lindsey Reed, Managing Editor 
        THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN
