Complicated. Its great to look back today, 15 years ago, the terrorism threat. When i was at the National Terrorism center we looked at how that threat had really changed to much in the last 12, 15 years, where its more diverse, adapted on the terrorism side. Now look at cyber. All those same features characterize cyber threat. You have increasingly sophisticated actors, criminal gangs at the level of what we thought were at the capability of nation states. You have the nature of those attacks changing from destructive to disruptive, destroying hardware. One of the things we think about now, the offense typically has the advantage. The offense wins. Its a little like transform. When i was at the National Terrorism center, didnt taub about its basically impossible to stop every terrorism attack. Risk management, it applies in the terrorism realm. Youre managing realm but same thing in the Cyber Security realm. You can stop every did you see president obama beat his chest and say our Cyb
Decline in the dow and other major averages at this thing coming a head. When they stormed the store and the Printing Press area there. The dow did fall to that low of the day of about 229point decline and come back right now. Back 143. Take a quick look at the 10year, as well. This has been rallying as we know for a number of reasons and quite sometime and perhaps an extra bid on the flight to safety trade today. Below 2 again. That u. S. 10year. Watching it for everything from the influence on the Mortgage Market to what it does ultimately send in terms of signals for the Federal Reserve here and policy decisions coming up and we have heard from members expressing like charlie evan this is morning to rather be cautious than hasty to raising factors. If you hang on to that for a second longer cross currents and you can see that after the jobs number came out, stronger than expected in many ways. You saw the yields rise but then they were coming much lower, maybe a flight to safety and
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.

By far the most jawdropping aspect of life in crystal city was the fact that the camp was the center of fdrs secret Prisoner Exchange program. One of the lessons i learned through going through all these documents and interviewing all these people is that by whatever name it is called internment, preventive detainment or just flat imprisonment the practice of incarcerating immigrants with blood ties to countries in which the United States is at war always exists in part for the purpose of exchange. It works like a human chess game. Each side tries to get back their own citizens without giving up their highest value prisoners. Some of the people in crysta

These are people who to use steve jobs words, were able to think different, think out of the box. I want to try to explore the creative mind and how it works. Host one of them themes themes in your book seems to be a connect to spirituality. Guest everybody believed they were part of something larger than themselves.
