... Cold War policy. The Steds A Gentleman Ponders series kicked off its new season pondering post-war presidencies Cold War policies. Organized by the Hall's D.A.D., Director of Academic Discernment, Eoghan Fay, and held in the Flounge, as the Gregorian Lounge was under construction, the night's pondering was facilitated by Fr. Bill Miscamble, C.S.C. A native Australian and Holy Cross priest, Fr. Miscamble's focus is the Cold War, and leaving his accent aside, he methodically examined past presidencies and their policies, eventually ranking them from worst to best. And if that wasn't enough, there was time for questions and answers as well as a raffle, where three copies of Miscamble's From Roosevelt to Truman" Potsdam, Hiroshima, and Yalta were given away as prizes. Winners were freshman Jackson O'Neill, junior Steven Crabtree, and senior Patrick Campbell. On winning a copy of Miscamble's book, Campbell stated, "Father Miscamble was eloquent and very informative. He always catches the attention of the scholarly Stedsman. It was an honor to have him, and an even greater honor to be able to win a copy of his book. Winning a copy reminds me of the Siege of Troy, where this book is a Trojan horse of sorts for knowledge and enjoyment. Still yet, Father Miscamble's John Hancock makes it priceless. I can’t wait to read it!”
