A political biography that reveals new sides to Helen KellerSeveral decades after her death in 1968, Helen Keller remains one of the most widely recognized women of the twentieth century. But the fascinating story of her vivid political life—particularly her interest in radicalism and anti-capitalist activism—has been largely overwhelmed by the sentimentalized story of her as a young deaf-blind girl. Keller had many lives indeed. Best known for her advocacy on behalf of the blind, she was also a member of the socialist party, an advocate of women's suffrage, a defender of the radical International Workers of the World, and a supporter of birth control—and she served as one of the nation's most effective but unofficial international ambassadors. In spite of all her political work, though, Keller rarely explored the political dimensions of disability, adopting beliefs that were often seen as conservative, patronizing, and occasionally repugnant. Under the wing of Alexander Graham Bell, a controversial figure in the deaf community who promoted lip-reading over sign language, Keller became a proponent of oralism, thereby alienating herself from others in the deaf community who believed that a rich deaf culture was possible through sign language. But only by distancing herself from the deaf community was she able to maintain a public image as a one-of-a-kind miracle.Using analytic tools and new sources, Kim E. Nielsen's political biography of Helen Keller has many lives, teasing out the motivations for and implications of her political and personal revolutions to reveal a more complex and intriguing woman than the Helen Keller we thought we knew

In the Florida Keys, the Rugose Spiraling Whitefly, Aleurodicus rugioperculatus, has become a "sticky" situation that is frustrating homeowners, landscapers, businesses, and governmental officials. The Monroe County Extension Agent has applied a variety of educational and control methods for dealing with this new insect pest. Educational approaches have followed both traditional Extension methods, such as: speaking on the radio, doing newspaper interviews, disseminating information through the internet, educating and utilizing the Master Gardeners, conducting site visits and holding workshop presentations Keyswide. Some non-traditional approaches have included presentations at City and County Commission meetings; developing an evaluation control method tip sheet for people to use to determine how effective or ineffective their control treatments are; and advising local college and high school students in developing a whitefly presentation and tri-folder brochure for use at the Key West Botanical Garden. Control methods also being developed or tested by the Agent include an experiment using aerated vermicompost tea as a root drench or as a foliar spray to determine its effectiveness in controlling the Rugose Spiraling Whitefly; and rearing and releasing the beneficial wasp, Encarsia guadalupae,and predatory beetle, Nepasphis oculata,along public right-of-ways and public parks.

Patriotism is an ideology, like masculinity, that posits specific behaviors and beliefs as best for a nation and an individual. This article examines three forms of masculine patriotism promoted in the crisis of the post–World War I Red Scare—the antiradical heroism of Ole Hanson, the postwar militarism of the American Legion, and the laborer wistfully proposed by manufacturing organizations. These models drew from the wartime emphasis on male soldiers as national redeemers but re-created the ideals of male citizenship to fit the domestic crisis of the Red Scare. Those who defined themselves as patriots praised forms of masculine patriotism that exalted loyalty to family, loyalty to war veterans, and loyalty to employer as the traits of an ideal male citizen. This gendered form of male citizenship excluded women, but because of its racial, ethnic, class, and ideological content, also excluded large numbers of American men from claims to good citizenship.
