Immigration currents shape American growth and fear
A Washington Post opinion piece traces U.S. immigrant waves from 1789 to the present, linking immigration to economic needs and policy shifts. It notes peaks in the 19th and early 20th centuries, rising anti immigrant sentiment, and 1920s quotas, then contrasts past exclusions with modern refugee arrivals including 150,000 Vietnamese in recent times. It cites figures on arrivals, population growth, and policy debates, and comments on public attitudes toward immigrants and refugees.

The Turks And their army in Turkish politics
Ankara reports that the Turkish military has long influenced civilian government, with repeated interventions and a trend toward restraint in recent decades. Leaders like Ataturk and Inonu shaped civilian power by discarding uniforms, while later chiefs of staff warn against renewed interference. The Cyprus crisis expanded army prestige, yet political misgivings persist about future coups and conspiracies within the ranks.

Paul Harvey on Businessmen as Presidential Material
Paul Harvey argues qualifications matter more than names in choosing a president. He contrasts lawyers and politicians with professional administrators and notes doubt about modern generals and corporate leaders.
