for a time a friend and admirer of luce, he was fired when he began to express his disaffection for chiang. partly because of luce's grief over the fall of china, he went on to be a passionate champion of the least successful wars. if he had his way, the united states would have used both the korean war and the vietnam war as conflicts that would help unleash chiang kai-shek and join him in over throwing the communist regime in china. he believed in that until his death. luce was a difficult man with few friends, an unhappy marriage and kind of shyness linked with arrogance that left him mostly alone. alone but certainly not invisible. his hand was evident in almost every aspect of time incorporated's life and culture. the company attracted talented young men from the ivy league, almost never women. men who aspired to be novelists, poets or playwrites but wrote for "time" because they needed a salary. no one paid better than luce. the regimented world of time, incorporated was stifling to many writers, many left over time to do more creative and independent work. others stayed on for decad

chiang kai-shek made it, madam chian made the team. mao tse-tung never made person of the year. when "time" decided to acknowledge the american woman in 1975, they had some significant people, billie jean king and others, but they somehow in their list of folks on the cover or pictures of people on the cover overlooked betty fredan and gloria steinem. this is a pretty establishment, up east sort of people. and so i wonder about nominating someone. the person i'm going to nominate, however, achieved probably the first thing he did in 1862 of great consequence was to frame some legislation that transformed a modern industrial nation, would-be industrial, would-be nation into a modern nation. framed in legislation. this person also near the end of 1862 laid some claim to be a significant emancipator of slaves. and so the person i'm nominating, you all have figured out by now, this creator of a modern nation, this emancipator of slaves, was robert edward lee. pause for applause. okay. let me suggest some of the context here in which lee functioned. because through the first year of

to say and i'll just remind you that i was the first one to appoint deputy managing or who was it chiang mai who is recently appointed the secretary of the board, who is also a chinese national. so you know, the voices are not just a factor of the institution , the governance. it is also how you open up, reach out and make room at the head table. that is what i will continue to do. >> all right, greece. [laughter] there have been many negative things. you're right. but you know, i think the courage of the great people and the first place is a very strong positive and i think it must be a week of nice. very brave and nice. greek civil servants, create people that face the application, to pay their tax, that there is a sacrifice of cut pension and cut wages. i would say that any programs that is made in tax and revenue collection is also a great positive for the country. and i would say that a coalition of the political party to actually endorse, backup, lead in a difficult exercise the country has to face is also positive. and i have to say for having worked with ken cummins and mr. papag
