When i had the opportunity to come to the ballroom, it is such a thrill for me because i know that this provided inspiration for fitzgerald, and the kind of stories that he was interested in to make money. The saturday evening post stories. This is the epitome of that huge volume of work that he produced that he felt a little bit ashamed of, but are wonderful stories. And so i see this as a real positive place for his career. There was one particular party at his house that actually fitzgerald didnt attend, and apparently a young man it was a costume ball, and they like to have costume balls and this room would have been filled with many people in different options. A young man differently dressed up in a campbells outfit and went to the wrong house. Who knows why . Anyway, the next day fitzgerald heard about the story and he said he tried to find out more information, but then he just sat down and wrote a short story called the camels back. Fitzgerald said he didnt particularly like t
Theres no barrier. A physician can do this but theres increasing work to make it happen. The natural path of least resistance is to prescribe the preferred drug. These are levers. This is what is been called enlightened paternalism or the structure of incentives make it such that do what the insurers would like to maximize, the rational course of achieving cost savings forever is the equivalent drug is the outcome. As a physician, however, and as a patient one needs needs to remember thethat can be at times and opposition between reason and rationality. One thinks of the movie dr. Strangelove, for example, where dr. Strangelove who at the end of the movie as you know led by peter sellers, as eloquently rational madman who is leading the world of destruction, arrived by set of incredibly rational steps through economic game theory. So this idea that one can create a rational system which at times can produce unreasonable results i think is a dilemma that exist at the heart of modern med
If americans do, as i say embrace the automobile culturally, how do they respond when by the 1920s and really it was it wasnt million the 1920s where it wasnt until the 1920s where there was a National Human cry over unavoidable automobile accidents that are killing individuals and particularly pedestrians who have nothing to do with the freedoms of driving. Others were paying for the liberties of these drivers. When the car was first introduced, the rule was very different, and the reaction to those rules were very different. And so the study looks at 900 to 1940 1900 to 1940, a period of time where there werent uniform rules for driving and universal signs for speed limits and grade crossings and what have you. And so that created in a sense a National Dialogue over the difference between our love for automobiles and the social responsibility we have as drivers of automobiles. In the first internal Combustion Engine automobile, it dates back to the 1870s in germany. And as a result,
Obviously it is a distract your question. Just eliminate that of the bad but the first two are plausible. Either make sense if you are confused just google them and they will make more sense charlie. In all seriousness everybody in this room has taken a standardized test at one point or another in your life. They have been around a long time but it seems were living in a moment where the stakes attached to them have never been higher. Not only the standardized tests determine a childs future but also the future of the teacher determine the future of principals and administrators and the guidance counselor the gym and music and art teacher. Though whole school could be bound up with the results of a test for a whole district. That trends to raising the stakes higher and higher, a kid you hear me . And has finally been confronted by a movement figure refers, 1964 College Students sat in us as a result of direct action to spark a whole new era of the Civilrights Movement of mass civil dis
The bridge and they share with the bridge endurance, and they love fact that the bridge was so beautiful and to work on something thats beautiful. Im sure in the time of the renaissance, probably some of those anonymous cathedral builders, those laborers who put the stones to some church or the coliseum. I mean, we knew who were the people who built the coliseum but they did something and a heavenly sense of living in that hereafter. These people work on something its finished and it goes on and on and they die or their have a lot of my age and they still look with wonderment at this bridge that gap no older. The bridge is as young as it was as and 64 and the rest of us age. What didnt age is the glory and the achievement. Thank you, joe spratt. A. Q. , gay talese. Thank you all for coming.
