This is a story of the EC at work over fifty years, seen from the perspective of a developing European higher education policy. The book provides a rich background narrative to current strategic efforts to develop the Europe of Knowledge, and to the Bologna Process. Its analytic interest in ideas and individual "policy entrepreneurs" underpins the story and advances understanding of the EU policy process and of the phenomenon of policy entrepreneurship.

This is the story of Richard A. Corbett: An alcoholic mother. An absentee father. A youth spent searching for a way to prove himself. A search that leads to boxing titles, street smarts, wilderness survival skills, degrees from Notre Dame and Harvard, an enviable spot in the presidential campaign of John F. Kennedy, and later a place at Robert Kennedy's side when he dies.

It all started with lots of dreams and no money, Corbett leaves the secure cocoon of the Kennedy family's inner circle to find out if he has what it takes to succeed on his own. Having helped manage the Kennedy family's real-estate trust portfolio, he chooses real estate, but despite good connections and enough bravado to fuel an empire, the climb is treacherous. But life has taught him how to get up again, and long hours spent studying the business files of Joseph Kennedy--a trove of papers left to gather dust--have equipped him with an understanding of what it takes to win. The Kennedy maxims are not for the weak or the hesitant; they're no-nonsense basics useful only to those with the vision to recognize opportunity and the guts to take the risk.

The story that follows tracks the rough-and-ready life of a man who won't accept failure as an outcome. Setbacks large and small are mined for lessons on how to do it right the next time. And one small success leads to another, larger one, until the dream achieved is grander than any restless youth could have imagined--and wealth greater than the assets Joe Kennedy accumulated.

In Corbett's long and remarkably successful career, his commitment to economic development and growth management have been stunningly reflected in the more than $1 billion dollars of complex real estate ventures he's financed, developed, and constructed, including International Plaza--a mixed use retail, office, and hotel development of approximately three million square feet at the Tampa International Airport. Corbett's work has generated thousands of permanent jobs, hundreds of new commercial sales entities, office space, adjunct hotels, and restaurants and produces hundreds of millions of dollars annually for the regional economy, yielding substantial tax revenues that benefit the community.

He was in a train from Tito Velez, Yugoslavia with he's Aunt Vera for a long trip to Venice, Italy. He was field with fear so much so that even dough he was tired, he could not close he's eyes and go to sleep. If he's falls passport was discovered by the Yugoslavian border patrol at the Slovenian/Italian border, he would have been deported back to Bulgaria and he's life would have been over. This trip was the beginning of a road to the uncertainty. It was devastating to even think of what was lying ahead on the road to nowhere. This was a man that give-up everything back home in Bulgaria, in order to get away from the communist totalitarianism. He was going to the uncertainty all alone without any understanding of what was going to happen to him. But that is the only way he taught he can fight back the government he grow-up with to hate. He left all that which he knew and engage in a war that was silent and the front was the unknown. The one thing that was going to get him through any obstacle in he's life a head, was he's positive attitude in life.

This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.

The shift in U.S. defense strategy and the transformation of the Army must be matched by a similar transformation in logistics. The Service-centric, hierarchical logistical organizations that relied upon requisitions and historical consumption rates was ill-suited to supply or support strategically deploying forces in simultaneous actions across the breadth and depth of the battlespace. The new way of warfare requires a logistics system with the same characteristics as the tactical forces: speed, maneuver- in-depth, adaptability, agility, flexibility and battlespace situational awareness. It must be responsive in a timely manner to the needs of far-flung forces and do so without creating new "Iron Mountains" or establishing a large footprint that may be vulnerable to attack and will certainly be expensive. What the Army is doing for itself must eventually evolve into a fully joint logistics system. This monograph evaluates Army Logistics Transformation vis-a-vis Army Transformation. History serves as the stage setter to establish a framework that supports and establishes the importance and significance of logistics transformation. At issue is the changing nature of logistics structures and concepts of support that were developed for a Cold War Army and that continue to evolve to meet support requirements within an asymmetric warfare environment.
