edited by Luke Beckerdite and published by the Chipstone Foundation, uses several words that have been used for some time but are now becoming more common when talking or writing about American furniture. The term was used by several speakers at the Winterthur Furniture Forum to show how particular elements from inherited cultures were merged creatively to create new American forms. In the furniture journal, an article by Alan Miller demonstrates Irish creolization in Philadelphia cabriole furniture, and Peter Kenny talks of Dutch creolization in the Brinckerhoff scrutoir. “Late baroque” is used to describe furniture with turned legs. Cabriole-leg seating furniture and cabriole- case furniture, what the English call Georgian and the French call baroque, is the next development in American style and is now called cabriole. “Rococo” is used to describe furniture embellished in the 18th-century French taste. As usual, American Furniture 2014 is filled with groundbreaking papers on furniture made or used in America from its founding until the present day, as well as book reviews and a bibliography of articles and books about American furniture that...

Roosevelt’s footsteps echoed across the stage, but most of the actors sitting in the Oval Office on the morning of April 13, 1945 had changed since the war’s first dreadful weeks. William Leahy had been ambassador to Vichy when Pearl Harbor was attacked, and Henry “Hap” Arnold, on inspection in Europe that day, was a full member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a name that did not exist in 1941. And for the first time since... Leahy explained the function of the Joint Chiefs to the new president. At Stimson’s suggestion, Marshall and King gave short summaries of the state of the war. Marshall said Eisenhower would send Patton’s army into Czechoslovakia. Iwo Jima’s capture three weeks earlier had put American fighter escorts within range of Japan, and the Tenth Army was making steady progress on Okinawa. “If the South had had a staff organization like that,” he said, “the Confederates would have won the Civil War. He said he was satisfied with the war’s progress and wanted no major changes in its prosecution.
