15715West Point New York: USMA 1976. Staple-Bound. Very Good. A scathing & pithy commentary on the Borman Report on the state of affairs at West Point by Colonel Russell Potter "Red" Reeder Jr. 1902 - 1998 United States Army officer a highly decorated veteran of W.W.II and author. The Borman Report was an investigation of the West Point system of Honor and its Code. Frank Borman was a West Point graduate who joined the Air Force and commanded the Apollo VIII and Gemini VII missions. At the time he was asked to chair this "Blue Ribbon" commission he was the chairman of Eastern Airlines. The Academy was under scrutiny for reported abuses and scandals involving cadets. Col. Reeder for 20 years the respected Athletic Director of the U.S.M.A. was asked to comment and his copy of the report is annotated on almost every page. There are also letters to and from Academy and Department of the Army personnel including one where he recounts a conversation with Eisenhower about the Honor Code. Col. Reeder cites specific instances where the code and its application had been either abused or misinterpreted by less-than-caring Point administration often resulting in unfair foolishly judged and downright poor treatment of cadets. Throughout Col. Reeder's approach is one of humanity and good sense and is especially potent given that his entire life was spent within the U.S. Army under one aspect or another and his years of experience with the men and boys under his command gave him insight that would be difficult to surpass. At the front is stapled-in a note on Reeder's letterhead stating ".There will be moans abt. this report. Some at U.S.M.A. think nothing is wrong. But in 30 years there have been two cadet honor dismissals involving abt. 100 cadets each plus one "Scandal" that was swept under the rug. U.S.M.A. should expect some outside changes because they were not cleaning up internally." Loosely inserted are several letters & carbon copies of letters one from Reeder to Frank Borman wherein Reeder tells of meeting with General of the Army Eisenhower who specifically had asked Col. Reeder about the cadets' adherence and loyalty to the Code and his concerns Reeder noting that now more than ever is there need for paying attention to the good structure of the Academy since enrollment was nearly 4 times the size as when Eisenhower was a cadet; with a note to Col. William J. Taylor Jr. regarding the report and Taylor's grateful reply after reading it and Reeder's comments and recommendations. Evidently Reeder had sent the annotated report to several respected colleagues as well as the commission as there are notes that Lt. Col. Dale Hruby as well as Brig. Gen. Harvey Fraser had been in communication list in reviewing this document their names both on the front cover as being forwarded the report. <br /> <br /> 91 pages with handwritten marginal notations underlining for emphasis in red and blue and references to other internal notes and incidents by him. Stapled on the side some edge tips wear soiling to cover sheet and back cover which is loose laid-in materials with light wear and contained in the original manila envelope titled in Reeder's hand worn with tears; overall in very good condition; a very interesting annotated report and group of correspondence a unique archive of material concerning the U.S.M.A. at West Point during a particularly troublesome time of upheaval and self-examination especially as coming from the knowledgeable pen of the prominent Col. Reeder. USMA unknown

195321248Beijing: People's Fine Arts Publishing House 1953. Hardcover. Paper pastedown on boards. Stab binding. Ribbon ties. Very Good Plus. A compendium of sumptuous caisson designs rendered in full color. Caissons in this context refer to decorative ceilings what in the West are known as frescos that were are an architectural feature of Chinese temples and palaces. Elephantine folio 52.5 by 387 cm. 23 leaves content entirely on rectos. First three leaves with title page and two pages of text in Chinese followed by 20 numbered color plates. While the plates are capturing ceiling designs the patterns could serve just as well in other contexts and applications -- handkerchiefs and scarves come to mind for us. The patterns are bold in color and the mixing of design elements. The designs can be both quintessentially Chinese and transcendent of that -- some of the designs could have emanated from other design traditions -- anywhere where good design was prized. We believe this book is scarce. We could find no other copies anywhere and while we acknowledge the difficulties of researching the point given the Chinese characters we performed a number of broad searches that should have pulled in a copy here or there and did not. Dunhuang in the title refers to a region in China known for its rich artistic heritage. A few small abrasions on the front cover and other light wear of various types.
