Both sides will exchange reversible concessions for reversible concessions and you reversible concessions for you irreversible concessions for irreversible concessions. Thank you. That is a great place to stop. Underlying all of this is the bitter history of the u. S. And iran. No one better to talk about that then john, who has experienced it in many different ways. Is this really going to make a difference between the u. S. And iran . As our iranian friends like to say, there are only two possibilities. It either will or it wont. So there we are. It is quite simple. They have been speaking and writing very sensibly about iran for many years. This is a very passionate subject in this town. I tell my students at the Naval Academy one could spend his life going to iran in events in washington, whether it is the wilson center, the foundation for the defense of democracy. View. Ideological point of you would never run out of subjects ....
I know it is not the only answer, but behavior modification is one piece when people start to be rewarded by observation. And i can speak from being a midwesterner myself and seeing a lot of people in this area of the country and this age group specifically respond very well to that. I do not disagree with you at all. My mother had a famous saying a minute on your lips, forever on your hips. I got that a long time ago. Still, that is the way it goes. The bottom line is you can only change your behavior if the environment allows for it. When 600,000 food items have 80 adulteration by added sugar, it is awfully hard to change your behavior in a toxic environment. The toxic environment has to improve in order for you to be able to manifest those changes in behavior. That is what i would say. And to sustain them over time. That is all, thank you. That is all the time we have. I would like to remind you rob will stick around a little bit to sign his book. Finally, i would like to thank him. ....
Those relationships with women who are one or two steps beyond. We need to be really conscious about how we mentor people and the kind of encouragement that we get. So many of the studies around women are concerns about the coming political and they focus on the fundamental sense that they are not qualified and they do not know enough yet. The need to be more well qualified than the male candidate would require from himself. People like us and others in the audience would feel more confident. We would be put into contact with that network and could raise that money. How do you do it . I was blessed to have wonderful mentors and everyone here knows that the most important mentor was mitt romney, who supported my career and amy responsibilities as lieutenant governor. I used to attend the Governors Council once a week. That was my responsibility. I had a governor who gave me as much responsibility as i could possibly have and did ....
That it is not random. I remember in my earlier time thinking, well, if you have one woman already in one of those top three positions, then no one is going to want to elect the second one because they will think theyre overdoing it, you know . People in the state have gotten used to electing a woman. It could be that there is a role modeling that is going on and more women are really thinking about becoming political. The women themselves, and some of the women in those positions have said, no, actually, i showed the next woman where the pockets of energy or the pockets of money were. It is like bringing the next one along. It is so exciting, because we have to find ways to really expand these numbers. We cannot just keep moving along. It takes 200 years at the rate we are going. I am not kidding. Literally. You have to find ways to say, we already have one woman in this state come hell or high water. We are going to run a woman for governor and a woman for senator in that very state. ....
My inspiration was the idea that i wanted to explain how totalitarianism happens. We do know the story of the cold war. We know that the documents we have seen the archives and described relationships between roosevelt, stalin and truman and we know the main events from our point of view. What i wanted to do was show from a different angle, from the ground up, what did it feel like to be one of the people who were subjected to this system and how did people make choices in that system and how did they react . Its interesting that one of the things that has happened since 1989 is the regional used to call at Eastern Europe has become very differentiated. These countries no longer have much in common with one another except the common memory of communist occupation. Russian president Vladimir Putin this week gave his first eight of the nation speech since being reelected. His n ....
