 Oliver
and Gertie Juntenen and the
History of Suomi:
It's not a town or township,
but when Finnish-American
families moved there 95
years ago it became a
vibrant community that
exists to this day. Oliver
and Gertie were born and
raised there. They met in
grade school and still live
on their family's original
homestead.

Cary Miller, Professor of
History at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, talks
with Scott Hall about her
book, Ogimaag:
Anishinaabeg Leadership,
1760 to 1845. Miller
provides a fresh look at
Ojibwe leadership, including
the role of hereditary,
religious and warrior
leaders within Ojibwe
communities, and how they
dealt with the arrival of
outsiders.

Fifty years ago this month,
President Dwight Eisenhower
gave his farewell speech to
the American people.
Eisenhower talked about how,
for the first time in our
history, it was necessary to
have a large and prepared
military establishment; and,
as a result of that, we
should guard against "the
acquisition of unwarranted
influence... by the
military-industrial
complex." Eisenhower's chief
speech writer at the time
was a Minnesotan - Malcom
Moos, a journalist,
political scientist, and
future president of the
University of Minnesota.
After leaving the White
House in 1961, Moos built a
cabin on Ten Mile Lake north
of Hackensack. Last fall,
two of Moos' children, Grant
and Kathy, found 21 drafts
of Ike's farewell address in
the boathouse at the lake.
The drafts were written by
their father during the
eight months before
Eisenhower gave the speech.
The drafts, memos and
research materials contain
notes from Eisenhower and
his staff. The Moos' sent
the notes to the Eisenhower
Library in Abilene, Kansas.
Grant Moos says he knew
there were documents from
his dad's years at the White
House, but he didn't know
they contained the drafts of
the historic speech.
