Political events in the United States often have unintended consequences for American politics and for the country as a whole. The long-term consequences of the Panama Canal debates of the 1970s was examined by Adam Clymer, former chief Washington correspondent for the New York Times, who discussed his book, "Drawing the Line at the Big Ditch: The Panama Canal Treaties and the Rise of the Right."

Considered one of America's engineering marvels, the Panama Canal sparked intense debates in the 1970s over the decision to turn it over to Panama. Clymer showed how the decision to give up this monument of the "American Century" stirred emotions already rubbed raw by the loss of the Vietnam War and shaped American politics for years. Jimmy Carter made the Panama Canal his first foreign-policy priority and won the battle to ratify the treaties. However, the author revealed, the issue gave Ronald Reagan a slogan that kept his 1976 candidacy alive and positioned him to win in 1980, helped elect conservative senators and create a Republican majority, and fueled the overall growth of conservatism. Clymer's narrative illuminates many aspects of American politics during the Ford and Carter years, offers insight into the "Reagan Revolution" and highlights an overlooked turning point in American political history.

Speaker Biography: Adam Clymer is author of "Edward M. Kennedy: A Biography" and co-author of "The Swing Voter in American Politics" and "Ronald Reagan: The Man, The President." His writings have also appeared in the Nation, The New Republic and other journals.

The Arizona Historical Foundation presents Dane Coolidge's Wild Wild West

The 35 photographs in the exhibit were chosen from 2,000 original 5×7 glass plate negatives. This represents a fraction of Coolidge's work from 1906 to 1917. The exhibit features his favorite themes: cowboys on the range, cattle and horses, border and mining towns, Pancho Villa and lawmen, prospectors and people of the Old West going about their business. These images were not only chosen for their superior aesthetics but also for the activity, the landscape and the characters that could come out of a movie set. Each image is one of a kind.

The Dane Coolidge Glass Plate Negative Collection is part of project that has been accepted as an Arizona 2012 Centennial Legacy Project. The 2,000 plates will be cleaned, re-housed, scanned, and available for viewing on the Arizona Memory Project website by 2012.

The full exhibit can be viewed on the 4th floor of Hayden Library at Arizona State University in Tempe. The exhibit is open to the public during normal library hours. For more information, a map and directions to AHF visit them at: http://www.ahfweb.org
