Civilian Conservation Corps, the Peace Corps, and AmeriCorps. President Bush asked Bridgeland to lead a renewed call to civic leadership and volunteering that would last long after 9/11. The goal was nothing less than a true culture shift. Soon the newly established USA Freedom Corps led the way. In Heart of the Nation Bridgeland shows how he reached across party lines and pushed aside cynicism and bureaucracy to promote a new spirit of civic service that brings self-fulfillment and a stronger democracy. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and the ABA began a “Dialogue on Freedom,” and Mortimer Caplin ’40, founder of the Public Service Center at the Law School sought ways to inspire lawyers to do more to serve the public interest. John Bridgeland is president and CEO of Civic Enterprises, a public policy development firm. He is a current member of the White House Council for Community Solutions under President Obama.

A Century of Eugenics in America: From the Indiana Experiment to the Human Genome Era Edited by Paul A. Lombardo ’85 Indiana University Press
In 1907 the state of Indiana passed the world’s first involuntary sterilization law based on the theory of eugenics. In the decades to follow, more than 60,000 people deemed feebleminded or socially deficient were forcibly sterilized in the United States. A Century of Eugenics in America presents the history of the eugenics movement in the U.S., including legal repercussions of the role of government in controlling reproduction and the possibility of a renewed eugenics movement in the age of the Human Genome Project. A noted historian of the eugenics movement, Paul Lombardo assembled ten essays, including one of his own, entitled “From Better Babies to the Bunglers: Eugenics on Tobacco Road.” These compelling essays detail the origins of eugenic sterilization in Indiana, the eugenics movement in popular culture, state studies of sterilization, and eugenics
