The American Academy of Actuaries, also known as the "Academy" or the AAA, is the body that represents and unites United States actuaries in all practice areas. Established in 1965, the Academy serves as the profession's voice on public policy and professionalism issues. The Academy has published a number of issue briefs and monographs addressing public policy issues from an actuarial point of view. Because the Academy is non-partisan, it avoids taking specific policy positions in these publications. Most tend to discuss the fiscal and economic considerations as seen by actuaries. In many cases several policy alternatives are discussed, and advantages and disadvantages identified for each. In some cases the Academy provides formal written or oral testimony to Congress or other governmental bodies. The Academy is often asked by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to provide input on actuarial issues, and has provided the NAIC with a number of reports and statements. The Academy publishes Contingencies magazine, a bimonthly publication that publishes articles on a wide range of issues related to the actuarial profession. This issue includes a thoughtful article entitled Grover Cleveland and the U. S. Insurance Industry by Karl Beckman. The Table of Contents has this teaser: "Brought in to save an institution deemed too big to fail, the former president went on to become life insurance's biggest advocate." Pages 20-27, with illustrations and references. Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 - June 24, 1908) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. He was the winner of the popular vote for president three times - in 1884, 1888, and 1892 - and was one of the three Democrats (with Andrew Johnson and Woodrow Wilson) to serve as president during the era of Republican political domination dating from 1861 to 1933. He is the only President in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms in office.Cleveland was the leader of the pro-business Bourbon Democrats who opposed high tariffs, Free Silver, inflation, imperialism, and subsidies to business, farmers, or veterans. His crusade for political reform and fiscal conservatism made him an icon for American conservatives of the era. Cleveland won praise for his honesty, self-reliance, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. He relentlessly fought political corruption, patronage, and bossism. As a reformer Cleveland had such prestige that the like-minded wing of the Republican Party, called "Mugwumps", largely bolted the GOP presidential ticket and swung to his support in the 1884 election.Cleveland was a formidable policymaker, and he also drew corresponding criticism. His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions nationwide in addition to the party in Illinois; his support of the gold standard and opposition to Free Silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democratic Party. His reputation for probity and good character survived the troubles of his second term. Today, Cleveland is considered by most historians to have been a successful leader, generally ranked relatively high among American presidents. Presumed first edition/first printing thus.
