The last million. Europes displaced persons from world war to the cold war. Im joel rosenthal, Prime Minister of Carnegie Council for ethics and international affairs. For those of us in the carnegie family of institutions, we have a special affection for david. His biography of Andrew Carnegie published in 2006 was a lifechanging event for us. Through davids work, weve come to know Andrew Carnegie in all of his humanity and complexity, and theres one lesson from the book that really stayed with me and has animated my work at the Carnegie Council, and that is the as david would put it cashtys carnegies cockeyed optimism was not entirely misplaced. For all the madness we see in the world, progress based on reason and a cando spirit is, indeed, possible. That idea keeps me going, and this occasion gives me the opportunity to say thank you, david. In addition to the carnegie biography, davids previous books include prizewinning biographies of joseph p. Kennedy and William Randolph hearst.
Most noticeably at the coast, thats where we feel the biggest drop in temperatures today. If you are inland you may not notice a whole lot of difference maybe a couple of degrees cooler but not enough to make a significant change. If we look outside now, the numbers have a sitting right around the upper 50s for most locations although our cold spot in santa rosa at 49 and a look ahead to the rest of today. That number inland, 94 degrees for the daytime high, that is still coming in about 15 to 16 degrees above average for this time of year but it does pull us back a couple of degrees from where we were yesterday. Look at the bay, 82. We were sitting in the low 90s for much of the bay yesterday. So that will be an improvement that you will field and to show you what the detail highs look like across the bay area in general, low 90s for places like concord and livermore. 89, santa rosa. 81 in oakland. That number yesterday was 93, we are done doing 90s in the city. Ill sue you with the r
Maybe from tvs and movies if nothing else. Florida i watched this show called texas john slaughter. Song was texas john slaughter do what they outta, because if they didnt they would die. The lone ranger may be the most cinematic ntb radio rangers that started in 1933. Out of wxyz in detroit. The script was originally called man hunter. But then they changed it to lone ranger. We would still be talking about it today. In rangers have been hundreds of movies. There have been hundreds of books written about them, hundreds of magazine and newspaper stories. The image was built. I will go into that a little more. First i want to get a brief history of the rangers. Why the talk about Texas Rangers have residence and a place in a conversation were having now nationally about Police Brutality and approaches to history and all this taking down of the confederate monuments. The rangers have a place in that too. Will try to toggle to vintage photos. This is the first time i have done this. F i m
Thanks so much for joining us tonight and thanks to the u. S. Army command and general Staff College. One of our longest, one of our best, one of our favorite programming partners for yet another what i know will be a compelling presentation. These guys are money, as many of you know, and were so fortunate and privileged to be associated with them. Tonight, we welcome david mills of the command general Staff College and kayla westra of the Minnesota West Community and technical college, the coauthors of great wartime escapes and rescues. Ill start by saying they had me in grade school. I was a fourth grader i think when hollywood released the great escape, the classic adventure drama staring Steve Mcqueen, james garner, charles bronson, among others. It pretty quickly became a tv staple, and all of the guys in my class at st. Josephs Elementary School in martingsburg, missouri, fell in love with it and we would play it out at recess. Each one of us would take one of the roles. Of cours

It pretty quickly became a tv staple and all of the guys in my class at st. Josephs Elementary School in missouri fell in love with it and wed play it out at recess. Each one of us would take one of the roles. Of course all of us wanted to be mcqueen. I think i wound up with the attenborough role which is fine by me, though, i get executed at the end of the movie. Of course mcqueen survives. What we didnt realize then and what we probably didnt care about was that the movie was based on a true story, the escape of 76 allied soldiers and officers from ger
