London: The English Association, 1924. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Near Fine. 18 Pp. Light Green Wrappers, Stitched. First Printing (This Title Last In List Of Titles On Inside Covers). Lightly Used. Ownership Signature Of Nancy S. Reynolds Dated January 26, 1929, With Bookplate Of Henry Walker Bagley And Nancy Reynolds Bagley Depicting Their Home. She Was The Last Surviving Child Of The Founder Of The R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. In 1952 She Started The Nancy Reynolds Bagley Foundation. In 1953 She Divorced Her Husband Henry Walker Bagley. After A Subsequent Marriage And Divorce She Reverted To The Name Nancy Susan Reynolds. She Died At Age 74 In 1985. Reynolds Had What The Foundation, Now Arca, Calls "Her Own Ideas - Some Decidedly Modern Ideas For A Southern Woman, A Wife And A Mother Of Four - About What The World Should And Could Be." Arca Has Been On The Cutting Edge Of Radical Left-Wing Causes, Embracing Fidel Castro'S Cuba, The Palestinian Cause, Saul Alinsky-Inspired Community Organizing, And The Never-Ending Social Justice Campaigns Of The Left. The Fact That Nation Magazine Editor Katrina Vanden Heuvel Adores The Washington, D.C.-Based Arca Foundation Ought To Serve As A Red Flag For Conservatives. Arca Is "One Of The Most Interesting Small Progressive Foundations Working Today, With A Commitment To Social Justice At Home And Abroad That Spans Over 50 Years," Says Vanden Heuvel, A Well-Connected And Stylish Leftist Who Used To Serve On The Arca Board Of Directors. If By "Interesting" Vanden Heuvel Means Having A Knee-Jerk Antipathy Toward Mainstream American Politics, Then'S She Absolutely Right. The Arca Foundation Is Dedicated To Advancing Social Equity And Justice, Particularly Given The Growing Disparities In Our World. The Foundation Believes That A Vibrant Democracy Requires An Organized And Informed Citizenry That Has Access To Information And Free Expression. In Pursuit Of These Principles, Arca Supports Innovative And Strategic Efforts That Work To Advance Equity, Accountability, Social Justice And Participatory Democracy In The U.S. And Abroad. While The Foundation'S Areas Of Focus Evolve Over Time, We Achieve Our Fundamental Purpose By Supporting Efforts That Affect Public Policy. In Practice What This Means Is That Arca Is Committed To Funding The Policy Priorities Of The Left. It Gives Grants To Radical Environmentalists, Anti-Corporate Activists, And Friends Of The Communist Regime In Cuba And The Former Communist Regime In Nicaragua. Unsurprisingly, Arca Praises Figures Such As Filmmaker Michael Moore And Democratic Politician Howard Dean. Arca Is A Member Organization Of Both The Far-Left Peace And Security Funders Group (Profiled By John J. Tierney, Foundation Watch, August 2009) And The International Human Rights Funders Group (Ihrfg). Members Of The Bagley Family Remain Involved In Arca'S Affairs. Until He Died In January 2010, Smith Bagley (Son Of Nancy Reynolds Bagley) Served As The Foundation'S President. His Daughter Nancy R. Bagley Succeeded Him As President. Nancy R. Bagley Is Also Editor-In-Chief Of Washington Life, A Glossy "Lifestyle" Magazine That Chronicles The Balls And Galas Attended By What Passes For The Social Set In The Nation'S Capital. She Is Also A Trustee On The Board Of The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Named For Nancy Reynolds'S Brother. It Focuses Its Liberal Advocacy On The People Of North Carolina. Earlier, Bagley Worked On The Clinton-Gore Presidential Campaign And Then On Hillarycare When She Took A Position In The Clinton White House.
