Sixty Years of Journalism: Celebrating Jimmy Breslin
Sixty Years of Journalism:
Monday, December 7th at 7pm
A host of eminent journalists and writers, convened by Pete Hamill, celebrate the career of Pulitzer Prize-winner Jimmy Breslin. An inimitable New York voice, the city’s “steadiest and most accurate chronicler” (Tom Robbins, The Village Voice, March 19 2002), Breslin was born in Queens, New Yo
rk in October 1929. He started as a copy-boy at the age of fifteen at the Long Island Press and then worked as a reporter covering fires, crime and sports for that paper. In the late 1950s he became a sports columnist at the New York Journal-American and in 1963 he published his first book, Can’t Anybody Here Play This Game? The Improbable Saga of the New York Mets’ First Year. Breslin wrote his city-side column for the New York Herald-
Tribune from 1963 to 1966. He was at The Daily News from 1976 to 1988 where he received the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Commentary in 1986. He then joined Newsday from 1988 until his retirement as a columnist in 2004. Pioneering in style and in focus, his columns were peopled with the prominent, the shady and those struggling with poverty and crime. He also reported from Northern Ireland, Vietnam and other places beyond New York. His first novel, The Gang that Couldn’t Shoot Straight, was published in 1970 and was made into a successful film. His most recent book The Good Rat: A True Story was published in 2008. In all, he has published seven novels and ten works of non-fiction.

Fighting to the Death: Moral Paradoxes in Modern Warfare
Date: Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Time: 6:45 - 8:30 PM
Place: Silver, Room 414
As part of the 2009 SHARP Lecture Series, in conjunction with the Selma Rubin Distinguished Lecture Series, Gunnar Heinsohn, frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal and the Economist, will be speaking on modern warfare and terrorism in relation to his now famous Youth Bulge Theory.
Gunnar Heinsohn is a German sociologist and economist. Since 1984, he has been a tenured professor at the University of Bremen, where he heads the Raphael-Lemkin Institute for Comparative Genocide Research named for Raphael Lemkin. His list of publications includes almost 700 scholarly articles, conference presentations, and books. His research has been focused on developing new theories regarding the history and theory of civilization.
He is known most widely for his theory of the Youth Bulge. He argues that an excess in especially young adult male population predictably leads to social unrest, war and terrorism, as the "third and fourth sons" that find no prestigious positions in their existing societies rationalize their impetus to compete by religion or political ideology. Heinsohn claims that most historical periods of social unrest lacking external triggers (such as rapid climatic changes or other catastrophic changes of the environment) and most genocides can be readily explained as a result of a built up youth bulge, including European colonialism, 20th century Fascism, and ongoing conflicts such as that in Darfur, The Palestinian uprisings in 1987-1993 and 2000 to present, and terrorism.
Heinsohn's contributions to genocide research include an encyclopedia of genocides, a generalized version of youth bulge theory and a new theory of Hitler´s motivation for the Holocaust.
