The view from CView Guest author presents “Fighter Pilot’s Daughter" at the Library
Mary Lawlor is Professor of English and American Studies at Muhlenberg College. Her most recent book, Fighter Pilot’s Daughter: A Story of the Sixties and the Cold War, weaves together her scholarly knowledge with her personal experiences as a “military brat.” Her father was a decorated fighter pilot who fought in the Pacific in World War II, flew missions in Korea, and

was twice stationed in Vietnam. Mary, her mother, and her three sisters followed him from base to base and country to country during his years of service: by the time Mary graduated from high school, she had attended fourteen different schools. These displacements, plus her father’s frequent absences and brief, dramatic returns, were part of the fabric of her childhood, as were the rituals of base life and the adventures of life abroad. As Mary came of age, tensions grew between her patriotic, Catholic upbringing and the values of the countercultural sixties. By the time she dropped out of college in Paris in 1968, she faced her father, then posted in Saigon, across a deep political divide. Fighter Pilot’s Daughter tells the story of the Lawlors’ nomadic life and shows how the global tensions between the US and the USSR sifted down from on high into the moods and dramas of the many homes her family occupied. It adds an important chapter to the collective narratives of American military family life and of cold war America. Mary Lawlor will be at the library on June 24th from 11am to 1pm.

cently, the Spanish Monarchy has been in the news. In my attempt to understand why future hanges will be important to the citizens of Spain, and to the world, I conducted some internet esearch to answer some simple and basic questions regarding the Monarchy of Spain. This is Wikipedia states: re the King and Queen of Spain, and what changes are expected in the near future? Monarchy of Spain is comprised of a reigning King, Queen, and their family. The monarchy is tly represented by King Juan Carlos I de Borbón, his wife Queen Sofia, their children and their hildren. On June 2, 2014, King Juan Carlos announced his intent to abdicate and thereby clear the r his son, Felipe, Prince of Asturias, to take the throne.” (Source:Wikipedia) To “abdicate” means mally relinquish a high power, office, or responsibility.” Once that formal process is complete, Felipe will become King Felipe VI and his wife will become Queen Letizia.
is there a King of Spain? panish Constitution of 1978 established a constitutional monarchy as the form of government for The 1978 constitution affirmed the role of the King of Spain as the personification and embodiof the Spanish State and a symbol of Spain's enduring unity and permanence. Constitutionally, the the head-of-state and the commander-in-chief of the Spanish Armed Forces. anish Monarchy has its roots in the Visigoth Kingdom founded in Spain in the 5th century and in istian successor kingdoms of Navarra,Asturias, and Aragon, all of which fought for the re-conquest Iberian peninsula following the Moorish invasion in the 8th century. The marriage between I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, known as the Catholic Monarchs, united most of the peninsula.The Spanish Empire became one of the first global powers as Queen Isabella and King and funded Christopher Columbus´ exploratory voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. This led to covery of the Americas which became the focus of Spanish colonization. In 1492, the Catholic chs also conquered the Moorish kingdom of Granada in southern Spain, which was the last octerritory in the Iberian peninsula.That year marked the unification of Spain. uently, in the early 16th century, the Spanish monarchy controlled several territories in Europe the Hapsburg King Charles I. His reign ushered in a period of great colonial expansion and trade. 1700´s, the possible unification of Spain with France sparked the Spanish War of Succession culng in treaties that restored the European balance of power. Philip V was the first member of the of Bourbon to rule Spain, which is the dynasty that still rules today under King Juan Carlos 1 de n. Following the Napoleonic and Carlist Wars, in which the Bourbon rule was interrupted, it was ed to the throne in 1874. In 1931, King Alfonxo XIII was forced into exile, but did not abdicate his 1975, the Bourbon rule was again restored with King Juan Carlos I presiding over Spain´s transiom a dictatorship to a democracy and creating a constitutional monarchy.” (Source:Wikipedia)
is the Prince of Asturias the heir-apparent of the Spanish Crown? rding to Article 57, of the Spanish Constitution, the Crown of Spain is inherited by the successors Juan Carlos I de Borbón through male preference primogeniture (i.e. by the King´s first-born son). reference primogeniture has been practiced since the 11th century, in the various kingdoms that ecame Spain, with women being able to inherit the Crown in certain circumstances. October 2005, the birth of Princess Leonor to the Prince and Princess of Asturias prompted a ion of amending the Spanish Constitution by introducing full and equal primogeniture, which is er neutral succession law.With full or equal primogeniture, the first born child would be the heirnt regardless of gender. Since the order of succession to the Crown is codified in the Constitution, nge would require a complicated process including, among other things, a constitutional election
June 19, 2014 and a popular referendum. To date, that change in the Spanish Constitution has not been effected. Constitutionally, the current heirs of Juan Carlos I are: 1. The Prince of Asturias, (Prince Felipe) son of King Juan Carlos I. 2. Princess Leonor, eldest daughter of the Prince and Princess of Asturias (Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia). 3. Princess Sofia, youngest daughter of the Prince and Princess of Asturias 4. Princess Elena, Duchess of Lugo, the eldest daughter of King Juan Carlos I. 5. Felipe Juan Froilan de Marichalar y de Borbón, son of Princess Elena. 6. Victoria Federica de Marichalar y de Borbón, daughter of Princess Elena. 7. Princess Cristina, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, the youngest daughter of King Juan Carlos I. 8. Juan Urdangarin y de Borbón, eldest son of Princess Cristina. 9. Pablo Urdangarin y de Borbón, middle son of Princess Cristina. 10. Miguel Urdangarin y de Borbón, youngest son of Princess Cristina. 11. Irene Urdangarin y de Borbón, daughter of Princess Cristina.” (Source:Wikipedia) What is the King of Spain´s role as the Commander-in-Chief? “The role of the Crown in the Spanish Armed Forces is rooted in tradition and patriotism as demonstrated in the symbols and the history of the military.The role of the Spanish monarch in the chain of command of the armed forces is established by the constitution of 1978, and other laws.As Commanderin-Chief of the armed forces, the King holds the highest-ranking office in the military chain of command. The King's ranks include Captain General of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.The King is the only officer in the military to hold this Five-Star General rank.The King's participation in Spanish military life stems from his constitutional duty to "arbitrate and moderate" the regular working of state institutions. Serving in the armed forces is considered an expectation of the heir-apparent to the throne. King Juan Carlos served in the various branches of the armed forces before succeeding to the Crown. Likewise, Prince Felipe, has served in all of Spain´s armed forces.” (Source:Wikipedia)
