Later he served as the Observer’s publisher, spending more than 40 years with the political newsmagazine. Dugger has published hundreds of articles in Harper's Magazine, The Nation, The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The Progressive and other periodicals.〔 In 2011 Dugger won the George Polk Award in recognition of his lifelong achievements in journalism.〔 The following year he was dubbed the "godfather of progressive journalism in Texas" in an in-depth feature published in the Austin American Statesman by Brad Buchholz.〔 〕 ==Political involvement== In 1952 Dugger, along with Ralph Yarborough, John Henry Faulk, and others campaigned against Governor Allan Shivers, a Democrat who supported the Republican Party presidential candidate, Dwight Eisenhower. Shivers accused Dugger and his friends of being communists.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Ronnie Dugger ) 〕 Dugger criticized Lyndon B. Johnson and his shift away from the left of the Democratic Party when he came under the influence of Herman Brown and George R. Brown. "The alliance (of Brown & Root and Johnson) became common knowledge as his political identity changed from left to right before everyone's eyes." Dugger said.〔 In 1996, Ronnie Dugger also co-founded (The Alliance for Democracy ), a national grassroots populist organization. 〔 〕 In 2000 Dugger sought the Green Party's nomination for the U.S. Senate in New York.〔 〕 Dugger used his 2011 George Polk Award acceptance speech to question the nuclear policy of mutually assured destruction, saying, "Why are nuclear weapons called weapons of mass destruction when morally they are weapons of mass murder?" 〔 〕 This continued his long vocal concern about nuclear weapons going back to his questioning of LBJ about how many would be killed in an nuclear war up to expressing doubts when President Obama calls for a nuclear-free world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronnie Dugger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
