Charles Hervey "Pete" Jackson Jr. (1898 - 1978) was an American rancher, investor and polo player.

Early life

Charles H. Jackson Jr. was born on April 12, 1898, and grew up in Albany, New York. He was the grand-nephew of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur.

Ranching

Jackson, briefly a banker, was interested in agriculture and became a rancher when he journeyed west and bought the Alisal ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley at auction in 1943. He built it up as a guest ranch, opening to the public in 1946. For a period of time the ranch was known for attracting celebrity visitors; Clark Gable married Lady Sylvia Ashley there in 1949. Under the management of his son it became more popular as a family destination.

Equestrian interests

Jackson was a co-founder of the Santa Barbara Riding and Hunt Club, in the suburb of Hope Ranch, alongside Amy DuPont, Charles E. Jenkins, Harold S. Chase, Dwight Murphy, C.K.G. Billings, John Mitchell, George Owen Knapp, Peter Cooper Bryce, Col. G. Watson French and F.W. Leadbetter in the 1920s.

He acquired 25 polo ponies from Argentina in 1933.

Personal life

Jackson married (Marcia) Ann Gavit on September 7, 1926 at Santa Barbara, California. She was an heiress to the Anthony N. Brady fortune, and was described at the time as "Albany's wealthiest girl" and "one of the wealthiest heiresses in America". They resided in Rancho San Carlos in Montecito, California, a 237-acre (96 ha) estate near Santa Barbara.

In 1958, they acquired part of the old Hammond estate, which was divided up between Wiliam G. Gilmore of Atherton, the President of Gilmore Steel; L.C. Smith, a contractor from San Francisco; and the Jacksons. Some of the old Hammond estate later became Shalawa Meadow, California.

Death and legacy

Jackson died in 1978. His widow died in 1990.Their Rancho San Carlos was inherited by his grandson, Jim Jackson, who listed it for US$125 million in 2014.

A Disconnected and Legally Shaky Defense of Racial Preferences
Format: Paperback
While this book raises some thought-provoking points, it ultimately reads like a product of self-righteous elites disconnected from reality and from the American public. 1. Ignores public opinion. The author never acknowledges that polls consistently show Americans oppose racial preferences in college admissions. Proposition 16—which would have allowed such preferences—was defeated by a wide margin in 2020 in California, one of the nation’s most liberal states. A Brookings poll found that virtually all racial groups, including Black respondents, supported the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) decision. 2. Starts with a strange premise. The first chapter claims conservatives will “regret” the SFFA ruling because universities will continue racial preferences covertly. But that sidesteps the real question: why shouldn’t colleges comply with the ruling’s letter and spirit? 3. Offers dubious legal advice. In Chapter Three, the author—himself a law professor—floats risky ideas for “working around” the Supreme Court’s decision. Many of these suggestions rest on shaky legal ground, as anyone familiar with the Second Circuit’s CACAGNY v. Adams, 116 F.4th 161 (2d Cir. 2024), would recognize. 4. Ignores proportionality and real-world outcomes. The book argues for “diversity” preferences without asking how much preference is justified. In reality, Asian American applicants face steep penalties. e.g. Stanley Zhong was rejected by five University of California campuses’ Computer Science programs as an in-state applicant—shortly before Google hired him for a full-time, Ph.D.-level software engineering position. Meanwhile, UC San Diego’s own freshman math-placement data show a surge of students—mostly “underrepresented minorities” favored by UC—placed into remedial courses, some testing at a 4th-grade level. It is hard to see how admitting these students is helping them other than allowing some elites to make themselves feel good or get a promotion. If this book represents what passes for legal scholarship at Yale, the state of American legal education should worry us all.

Adherence to the Rule of Law Must Not Become a Fair Weather Sport
Format: Paperback
The memorable quotation I have used for the title of this review comes from the second chapter (I think) of "The Fall of Affirmative Action." What is actually happening in the United States is that the law is being enforced rigorously against "enemy" institutions such as those of higher learning and not at all against those with power, money, or affinity for same. The author, an African-American Yale Law professor, devotes his first chapter to the ways in which conservatives might critique the SCOTUS precedent that ended affirmative action and his second to the ways in which liberals might critique it. His most invaluable contribution to the debate is that civil rights can be advocated from an anti-classification standpoint or an anti-subordination standpoint, with anti-subordinationists on both sides of the affirmative action debate. This forced me to take perhaps a harder look at my own beliefs than most books or articles about affirmative action. African-Americans are certainly subordinated in reality by being excluded from higher education but they are subordinated mostly in the minds of white Americans by the fact that a white applicant with the same scores, extracurriculars and admission essays might not get in. That at least is the conclusion I have come to. "Students for Fair Admissions," the organization that brought down affirmative action before SCOTUS, has now sued those few elite educational institutions that DIDN'T see sharp drops in their African-American enrollment. One strongly suspects that SFFA if not the "Justices" they persuaded will be happy only with a formal quota for African-Americans which is half or less their proportion in the population of the state where the institution is located.
