• Reluctant Liberator: Theodore Roosevelt's Philosophy of Self-Government and Preparation for Philippine Independence

Theodore Roosevelt is well known as an imperialist. The common understanding is both too weak and too strong. Too weak, because Roosevelt idealized an imperialism that could last forever in civilizing savages. Too strong, because Roosevelt prepared the American-occupied Philippines for independence within a generation.

Roosevelt emerges as a reluctant anti-imperialist-an imperialist by desire but an anti-imperialist in governance. His imperialist ambitions were thwarted by America's ideals of self-government and its democratic political system, channeled through the powers of Congress and the process of regular elections. At a crest of imperial opportunity,...

OCEANSIDE, Calif., May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For Judith Talnadge, a power wheelchair provided through Medicare is the difference between living independently in her apartment, with opportunities to visit with friends and engage in the community, or being confined to a nursing home. Those starkly different living environments are the only options available for Talnadge, a 40-year-old woman, who suffers from muscular dystrophy and spina bifida. These medical conditions have severely limited her mobility, confining her to a power wheelchair since 1994.
