Walter Lippmann and the American Century
Ronald SteelDrew McKevittRonald Steel recently passed and his WALTER LIPPMANN AND THE AMERICAN CENTURY (1980) was an early grad school fav of mine. I wonder, was he the first to use the "and the American Century" framing? Beverly Gage just won a Pulitzer for it with the Hoover bio. Any examples pre-1980?

A Well-Regulated Militia: The Founding Fathers and the Origins of Gun Control in America
Saul CornellDrew McKevitt@thomasafine @UNC_Press No doubt. I think you're right about all of this. If you haven't yet seen it I would recommend Saul Cornell's A Well Regulated Militia on the 17/18C stuff. As for postwar, I write about some of the early groups. I argue it's more about cold war hysteria than the founders.
