Kyrgyzstan RPCV Timothy Johnson Wins Fulbright Fellowship for Turkey
Timothy Johnson of Hinsdale is the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship to Turkey. He will teach at Hacettepe University in Ankara during the 2007-08 academic year. Johnson is completing his master’s degree in political science with a sequence in community development. He recently ended a year-long internship working with the Milwaukee Housing Authority, where he taught computer and internet skills to low-income residents and organized income tax assistance at four public housing developments. Johnson also helped adult residents locate and apply for jobs, write résumés and become more familiar with computers. In addition, he assisted students with their homework in an after-school program and helped them learn more about computers.

Fulbright student grants are intended to increase mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchange while serving as a catalyst for long-term leadership development. Approximately 1,300 grants were awarded to over 140 countries worldwide.

 | Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans.

They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
 | What is the greatest threat facing us now?
"People will say it's terrorism. But are there any terrorists in the world who can change the American way of life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they change us? No. Only we can change ourselves. So what is the great threat we are facing? I would approach this differently, in almost Marshall-like terms. What are the great opportunities out there - ones that we can take advantage of?" Read more. |
