that was the case with charles lindbergh, as an example.he he returned from his solo flight over francer and tk. he ended up having to be rescued but that's a whole other story. this is the apartment, the famous apartment. frequently a backdrop in vanity fair and at times to en vogue. i apologize for the qualities of the pictures but they are pictures of pictures in the family albums. it gives you an idea of what they are like. ... actual shot that appeared in various vogue or vanity fair magazines. and guess what happens >> decided to come up with something called the new yorker. they get worried about "vanity fair," but it turns out that they decided to work with harold ross. when i say that conde was the first to think of a lot of things, he was a pioneer in all new technologies. and he had the best printing plant in the entire united states in greenwich, connecticut. and they did a deal with the new yorker to print the new yorker at conde's printing plant. and basically, it was a very successful relationship for many years. it was only once the new house was bought, the new yorker,

i will turn it over to ambassador lindbergh. >> thank you very much and good morning to everyone. thank you for everyone for coming out on this friday morning at the beginning of a long weekend. a wonderful comment about iran always being in the news, even on a friday morning in washington. i want to thank our host also for putting this together. i'm going to start on a personal note. my connections to iran go back a long way. they go back about 60 years. a teacher, as a , verycher and an academic forfly as a diplomat, and an unfortunate length of time, as a prisoner, but my real connection is as a member, proud to be a member, and lined and welcoming iranian american families so i have iranian connections as a husband, as a brother in law, son-in-law, and of course father and grandfather of people, of young people that are part iranian. i should say in the interest of full disclosure, i am not a big fan of the islamic republic. based juston is not on personal experience. our iranianing that friends, relatives, they deserve better than they have. thatdeserve a government treats th
