The Gathering Storm
(Pathfinder Magazine, 1948)
This is the Pathfinder book review for the first in Winston Churchill’s monumental six-volume account of the struggle between the Allied Powers in Europe against the Axis during the Second World War. Told from the unique vantage point of a British prime minister, it is also the story of one nation’s heroic role in the fight against fascist tyranny. When the other volumes in the series were completed, in 1953, Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his effort.

The Biblicist
(Pathfinder Magazine, 1950)
“Few Americans have more Bibles than Harry S Truman (he has ‘about 50’) and few quote from them with greater facility… The President seldom misses a chance to stress that only as the U.S. has faith in God can it face the future with confidence.”
When President Truman Tried his Hand at ”Distributing Wealth”
(Pathfinder Magazine, 1949)
It seems like a tough nut to swallow, but 12 years before President Obama was even born – U.S. President Harry S. Truman plugged the idea of ‘wealth distribution’ as a portion of a piece of proposed legislation that has come to be known as the “the Fair Deal”. The president’s scheme was introduced to the nation in his 1949 State of the Union address, it was composed of “21 points” and the element that is discussed in the attached article involving distribution of income was called the Brannan Plan – for it was U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan (1903 – 1992) who was its advocate. Secretary Brannan wanted the government to establish a guaranteed income for farmers, while allowing the market forces to determine the prices of agricultural products.
The Political Landscape
(Pathfinder Magazine, 1920)
Weeks after the Prohibition Amendment came into effect, there was much scurrying about by all politicians on both the state and Federal levels – all looking for allies they could rely upon to either defend or overturn the legislation, depending upon their respective constituencies. The first question put to each representative was, “Are you wet or dry?” Shortly before this article went to press, Congress held a vote to repeal the Volstead Act: the repeal was rejected by a vote of 254 to 85.

(Pathfinder Magazine, 1949)
This article about the newly established nation of Israel will give a sense as to how difficult it is to govern, seeing that the land is dear to the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
