Stimulus in washington or nonstimulus, the breaking news on china, and markets as well. The dollar moments ago breaks down to new week this of dxy new weakness of dxy. An ever weaker dollar index. That will be one of our themes across the hour. Our Kevin Cirilli reports a deeply divided reports on deeply divided republicans, and there are fire trucks in houston. Jonathan they are united on one thing in washington, and it is china. The consulate in houston shutting down after the u. S. Demand. We have looking up 70 times to that headline woken up so many times to that headline, so we have woken up so many times to that headline, u. S. China tensions. Gold, 1863 note an ounce.

Today. We are shifting the direction of our course today. We are moving away from catholics and in particular the jesuits. We spent a lot of time talking about the jesuits in this course. We are going to be moving toward the protestants. We will be looking at some of the missionary efforts in the work they did. In particular today, we are looking at their work in early new england. One thing i want you to think about for seminar is this really critical question. You have basically done a whole crash course in jesuit missionary work for the last four weeks. So think about this.

As i have said before, as an important part of this survey course, exploration of the ideas that came to define the american identity. We try to see our history in new and novel ways. To push up against the boundaries and think critically. Occasionally, to laugh at professors jokes.
