This dynamic president called for Air Force One as others summon a taxi?at a moment's notice, whatever the hour or the weather. And the man who made sure that LBJ got his ride was General James U. Cross, the president's hand-picked pilot, top military assistant, and personal confidante. One of the few Air Force One pilots to have a position, simultaneously, in the White House, General Cross is also the only member of LBJ's inner circle who has not publicly offered his recollections of the president. In this book, he goes on the record, creating a fascinating, behind-the-scenes portrait of America's complex, often contradictory, always larger-than-life thirty-sixth president. General Cross tells an engrossing story. In addition to piloting Air Force One around the globe, he served President Johnson in multiple capacities, including directing the Military Office in the White House; managing a secret two-million-dollar presidential emergency fund; supervising the presidential retreat at Camp David, the president's entire transportation fleet, and the presidential bomb shelters; running the White House Mess; hiring White House social aides, including the president's future son-in-law, Charles Robb; and writing condolence letters to the families of soldiers killed in Vietnam. This wide-ranging, around-the-clock access to President Johnson allowed Cross to witness events and share moments that add color and depth to our understanding of America's arguably most demanding and unpredictable president. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xStaff$vBiography 606 $aAir pilots$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAir Force One (Presidential aircraft)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAir travel$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aPresidents$xStaff 615 0$aAir pilots 615 0$aAir Force One (Presidential aircraft)$xHistory 615 0$aAir travel$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a973.923092 676 $aB 700 $aCross$b James U$g(James Underwood),$f1925-$01472207 701 $aGamino$b Denise$01472208 701 $aRice$b Gary$01472209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782008003321 996 $aAround the world with LBJ$93684920 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02748nam 2200733 450 001 9910425156203321 005 20230621140357.0 010 $a3-0352-9601-4 010 $a3-0352-6420-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000000202508 035 $a(EBL)1753109 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001339984 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11833027 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001339984 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11355799 035 $a(PQKB)10898754 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1753109 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/33243 035 $a(PPN)229194435 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000202508 100 $a20140812h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aur|n#|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aConcilier de?mocratie et diversite? $eessais de the?orie politique /$fBernard Gagnon et Jackie F.

Et, si oui, a quelles conditions ? Selon un discours dominant, le modele liberal, pluraliste et multiculturel serait le seul veritablement en mesure de repondre a ce defi. Mais le prix a payer serait un renoncement a l'ideal republicain du bien commun et a l'idee d'une communaute de citoyens qui s'autogouvernent. Les auteurs de ce livre, qu'ils s'inscrivent dans les courants republicain, liberal ou radical, ne partagent pas ce constat. La conciliation entre democratie et diversite n'a pas le liberalisme multiculturel comme seul horizon.
