astor dancing with groucho marx. i can't imagine groucho marx dancing.that is the sort of thing, anybody who was in the news. anyone who was a trendsetter was invited to the party. frequently they didn't know conde nast to begin with. that was the case with charles lindbergh. he returned from his solo flight over france and conde nast decided to throw party in his honor. he was mobbed but he came. they ended up having to rescue him but that is another story. this is the famous apartment, frequently a backdrop in vanity fair. i apologize for the quality of the pictures. these are pictures of pictures in the family albums but it gives you an idea of what it was like. on the right-hand side you have a ballroom in these are actual shops that. in various vogue or vanity fair magazines. guess what happens. in 1925 a guy named harold ross comes up with something called the new yorker. they get worried about vanity fair, they decided to work with harold ross. when they say conde nast was the first to think of many things, a pioneer in technologies and he has a p

maybe telephoned missus astor and it was a done deal.ed to be at the carlton in new york and all the models for all the fashions previously were tied to various fashion houses in europe, not in america. missus astor and missus fish were able to cobble together an interesting show of new york's fashion. don't laugh. here it is. the new york city public library just found some of the stills and if you go to their website you will see the fashions. as i said the models were tied to other places and as you can see fortunately condÉ was making clothes in different sizes because not all of them work models, or they? there were more of these apparently at the new york city public library and i thought it would be interesting to see. anyway, this upset another gentleman called william randolph hearst to adjust bought harper's bazaar. he saidr' -- he sent his people out to badmouth vogue and condÉ mast is people who wanted to get rid of european fashion and not import it into america anymore and they were only out to support clothing designers et

this is where astor ought captures something that has been elusive for multiple decades. as you can see, it breaks down rather closely and to a fairly round number. he finds there were about 43,000 japanese civilians on saipan and tinian. obviously much the most on saipan. of that total number, just about exactly 13,000 perished. and that left about 30,000 survivors, very little under 30,000. i added the math and the percent. be warned, that is my effort at math. if i could do math, i would not be a lawyer. you will see the survival rate on saipan is under two thirds and 80% on tinian. and overall, the survival rate is 70%. now -- how doout we get to this particular moment? how do we get to the fact that these civilians, many of them parents hurtling their children off cliff tops and following them to leaps and deaths or exploiting grenades with the family around, all of these horrendous scenes? the background starts really not just all japanese, the civilians, but the military personnel and the culture. although i am very hesitant to make broader comments about what nati

was when they did come on ted and then did the astor on sunday evening we had. them and those of you who were most of the big guys doing and that kind of wasn't the bunch at the time time we had another gathering organized by the hardliners in front of thinking ok and the things they want that happened after you can best of your attended the vigil in front of me have you been to adversity on saturday giving so hard liners as in their number was about 200 to 300 days or so for things i heard you say however they would say it was a horrible mistake to bring down this my blog is filled with them countries should not intervene in iraq is a mistake a very anti semite thanks so much for bringing us up to date on that smile i can draw producer for a.b.c. thanks so very much for the. let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making the news at this hour in a policy reversal the u.s. says it will no longer label china a currency manipulator the company ministrations as it's making the change after beijing agreed to stop devaluing its currency to make its exports

york and she said i'm a socialist i'm like ok this is going to be a long train trip and i thought at astor. about this isn't the thing that we want everybody to be universally rich she said no we do not because the rich always get rich at the expense of everybody else. and there so i think she's wrong and in a true capitalistic society every trade that takes place should be mutually advantageous advantageously we can all make wealth together in a cooperative you know but yeah good way came in that large latest perspective on why i lived in communist eastern europe in the 1980 s. nobody has to tell me about communism in marxist theory i lived through it ok and it is a dead end. full stop ok ok pi a lot of inequality to write a lot of and there was an enormous amount of inequality and communism ok i absolutely had to be good i want to keep the inequality going let me go to pi here but there's the perception i agree with ok jump in go ahead that's a point of program go ahead in a way yeah i agree with i agree with geoffrey were guarding the earlier statement that he had made a couple of thing

president reagan asserted astor fred fieldingg. president nixon asserted it. this is not t something that was just made up recenently. there e is a dececades long hisy of the department of justice providing the opinion the senior advisers to ththe president are immune from compelled congressional testimony. amy: so that is trump's lawyer patrick philbin. professor, your response? >> this is a really important issue to deal with. there were a lot of points that were not worth dealing with among the trump legal team, but this is an issue that is worth dealing with because there is some truth to their argument that executive privilege has been used by other presidents consistently over time and has been expanding over time. but there was a lot of misleading argument regarding executive privilege and what patrick philbin said. first of all -- first and foremost in the history that he cited is that those presidents were not asserting executive privilege in the context of an impeachment. it should be clear that executive privilege really has no role to play when the

rudolf valentino in 1922 was in "beyond the rocks" with gerude astor, who did "daddy long legs" in 1955james cromwell, who was in "beyond all boundaries" in 2009 with me. that gives rudolf vantino a "bacon number" of three. ( laughter ) >> the fact that we are vastly more closely connect to one another than anyone everag ed really is the heart of why we influence one another so strongly. >> reporter: so then, buying smaller cars or houses, putting up solar pels-- will behaviorl contagion alone save us? don't we need policy as well to rescue the earth? >> yes, we should crge people for discharging co2 into the atmosphere, just as economists have said forer. what's new in the story is that the effect of doing that will be agines.bigger than anyone that's a whole area that's ripe for progress in economics. increasingly, electric billsing. show how your usage compares to the neighbors. and, in a case of corporate contagion, amazon, google, microsoft, and starbucks have all recently made big pledges tu t their carbon emissions. one last question, though-- if bob frank's own roof isl- paee, h

the events of 2003, some suggested with the astor of ofdam hussein, -- ouster saddam hussein, it provided more influence and now we are asking for -- now we are seeing iraq asking u.s. troops to leave. could we end up with iran having more influence? peter: it could. has its own, iraq issues in respect to iran. would notsunni iraqis be happy from more influence by tehran. but if the united states was nickel back, there was that leaked memo from the defense department yesterday about repositioning or pulling back u.s. forces, where that to happen it seems reasonable to conclude it would increase iranian influence in the region and probably provide space for isis to reemerge. anna: and the military denied that they knew anything about that memo, so the position remains unclear. matt: it was a great point. the question i continue to ask myself here, does this push iran and iraq, obviously mortal enemies, one-mortal enemies, closer together? one piece of information that i think is key, you mentioned the votes are concerned, the in parliament was almost solely, i think only shias voted, right

lord astor, who was then running cliveden, was having a party with john profumo. won the war minister. she was a pawn in the game of these wealthy, powerful politicians, who saw her as no more than arm candy and ultimately collateral damage. she is a tragic figure. he came on very strong, it was more like a rate. profumo and keeler met repeatedly over the next few weeks, once in the minister's marital bed while his wife was out of town. before i knew where i was, it was all over. he gave me 20 quid, and i saidi all over. he gave me 20 quid, and i said i would give it to my mother. so stephen wanted in the background. just explain how young daily express reporter gets to be with stephen ward on the night before the trial? well, i don't want this to sound pompous, but i don't cover stories. iam bed pompous, but i don't cover stories. i am bed myself into stories. if you have a big story ahead of you, you must become part of it. you must become the chauffeur, the dry shoulder, the giver of money, the provider of fine wines. so i involved myself with two specific char

a lecturer in work and organisational psychology at astor university joins us now. feeling pressure to clean up your deskis feeling pressure to clean up your desk is helpful or harmful to productivity? i think it can be quite harmful. especially if you think about the concept of desk ownership or space ownership in the workplace in general. and especially transitioning from having allocated desks to a clean desk policy takes away ownership from people and what we experience is that we value losses much stronger than games, so we know this from the salary research. so salary increases for example don‘t have the same positive effect on well—being and engagement as compared to salary decreases, so for example if you get a bonus and it is taken away a few months later, then you end up being less motivated than before getting the bonus at all and the same happens to workspace ownership. if you‘re used to your ownership. if you‘re used to your own workspace, then obviously being taken away has quite some detrimental impacts but if you‘re not used to it, then it basically
