Links to stories that were written. But making my job and then mysteriously, theyre playing spy versus spy saying look it up and the name is backwards and blah, blah, blah. Its like i dont have time to do that. So making themselves available is is the most useful thing for me. And the other thing i guess i would put out is to not be offended if that particular story does not isnt something that we consider news. I mean, theres just as, you know, i get rejected every day by calling people up and having doors slammed in my face, you know, there are going to be times when we say, well, we just did that story, or theres nothing new there or whatever. I think you have to be prepared for that. Well, thank you. Check here with our time. Yall are going to get a little bit of a bonus. Is there anything that either one of you would like to end with . I would if i could. So i would say that for all of you who are working locally in local communities, like if i could imagine an outcome, it would b
Ordinary dull dirts he is not referring to wilfred owen as dull dirt, but sensationalized war novels. He says we do not need to worry about these sensationalized accounts, but others are undoubtedly sincere. They are genuine. Their object is obvious and understandable, to paint war in such horrible colors that no one will ever fight again. You can certainly see that in owens poems and you can see it in so much of the literature that comes out of the great war. So far, in this class, we have approached the topic of war and its impact on individuals, but also wars representations, and what im going to call simply wars stories. How war story works in culture and how historians approach that story from within cultural frameworks. Using two case studies that we have spent time with all semester long, the impact of the civil war, of course, fought around us in the fields of gettysburg and more recently in the last few weeks our discussion about combat experience about the First World War, we
This is potomac mills. Here we have atlanta. Not only do we see cars parked off the street everywhere, we also see major interstate highways accommodating cars at extraordinary expense. So this is like taking your swing line stapler and 200page report and getting a sledgehammer to force that staple through. At least thats one way of possibly looking at this, right . Our assigned reading for today says to the contrary, this is something we accommodate. The automobile is something we accommodate because it is so valuable to our economy, to our society, to the freedom of its residents. Its worth it. Hes not saying, you know, its not costly in some senses. It is costly. But hes saying, but its worth it. For example, look at the economic benefit. All right. More jobs. More income for people. And i, of course, being a good skeptical reader, looked for the data myself. If you look, youll see cars and trucks in the u. S. Increasing in numbers from 1960 on the left to 2010 on the right. And you
Peggy shippen. She is probably the most dangerous teenage girl in American History. [laughter] her husband is much more famous. It is just a story that nobody really knew. In fact, it was poorly understood at the time even, and by the time anyone understood what the story was, no one seemed to care anymore. Was mrs. Benedict arnold, and she liked it that way. She would rather be the victimized wife of a traitor, rather than the real truth, which was a coconspirator to try to bring down the American Revolution, who had full be Founding Fathers and got off scott free which is exactly what she did. More than a century after her death, british papers are studied by american scholars. And they find out there is all of this really important circumstantial evidence to isicate that Peggy Shippen certainly part of the plot. There is no smoking gun, but there is tons of circumstantial evidence. I think any reasonable person would agree she knew all about it. But she had gotten a pass from histor
The embargo caused oil to jump from 3 to 12 per barrel. In response, the u. S. Created the federal energy administration. When the circuit breaks is a film made to help the American Public understand the crisis. They lay out a strategy for u. S. Energy independence by 1985. The plan proposed increased fossil fuel production and expiration. New alternative Energy Sources just such as geothermal and solar. In efficiency and conservation. I think its going to end with everybody changing their habits. Just start working now, otherwise we wont have time. We will be out of oil in a few years. Unless we can harness the unless we can harness the power of the sun, it will run out eventually. The power of the sun. At one time or other, the sun has been to man god, king, father, brother. Beyond all that the controlling force of all the lives and moves here on earth. Its fiery element would change the course of continents and sees. Would send awesome currents of your Energy Charging through the at
