i will recall one morning years ago, it was in time of war, recruiting officers had come to lunde. an old gray-headed captain sat with the sergeants, and the burgomaster behind the table. lad after lad was measured, given his shilling and sworn in as a soldier. the room was full. and in the yard outside, the winter air was filled with young men's laughter. then, a name was called and a new lad stepped in. he vaulted towards the table. his right hand swathed in a blood-stained cloth. he told of an accident, a sickle that slipped and cut off one of his fingers close to the stump. the silence filled the room. he felt the scorn. then the captain, an old gray man, slowly rose. he spat, pointed towards the door and said, "go." and as he walked, men shrank on either side. some six months later, he came to live among us, with his mother, his betrothed and a newborn child. he leased a patch of land up on the hills. he married, built his house, broke the hard ground. his vision was narrow. beyond the tiny circle of those who stood close to him, he saw nothing. those words that should have re

cultural organization unesco says francoise lund should be rewarded for his body of a contribution to peace and stability in africa and social justice activist heroes that are giving such a prestigious a rules to the french media will inspire other heads of state to for his example. so what is this reward actually encouraging it presumably encouraging others to follow the example of the french or we invade you go through go broke you played her. or trees in africa it's an invasion on behalf of nato and the u.s. and its africa troops and is aimed at the economic and political interests of empire and particularly in france the problem here is that this is a political crisis in monti and can be resolved only by political means by sending in the warriors the troops the planes and the bombings actually doesn't resolve the problem and as we can see it's actually exacerbating all that and they've claimed that they have been invited to come into mali by a government but it is being an illegitimate government and it's outrageous that the u.n. should sanction such a such a policy i guess that t

the ego, friendships resurfaced with martha stewart where terry lund greene said, i thought you wereha. you were friends with my wife. againw martha stewart it's even more complex because she is the company. so it's hard not to get personal with martha stewart living company, because she is the company. >> friendships and business sometimes don't mix. you've been following this jcpenney macy's thing and terry lungren and his wife were friends of martha's. i guess they are not going to be eating off martha's flatware. >> as a matter of fact during court, said after martha called me up and she told me fyi, i'm going to announce this partnership with jcpenney. i was disgusted, hung up on her. i don't plan to be friends with her. got very emotional in the courtroom. still hasn't spoken to her. that line is important to macy's. what happens there with the business. we know what happens to the friendship. >> going way back. guys who can be very good friends, creative partners, sometimes money comes between and the disputes get really, really ugly. >> an adviser to the wealthy once told me

college rules and so even those this was not a legislative procedure we know that state rep peter lund has already said that he is going to introduce legislation to make this a state law in the state of michigan tried already during the lame duck period last year it did not get through and so i think this is foreshadowing an attempt to disenfranchise the the voters of the state of michigan and the republicans are doing this in all the blue states that they control and we look back now and see an enormous effort by the billionaires to fund republican candidates in in six or seven blue states in the two thousand and ten elections that was successful and but they're not doing in the red states you know they're not talking about allocating electoral votes in texas and oklahoma and it's just well why would it matter to anyone. indeed indeed i mean this is about fixing elections this this is about not playing fair this is about disenfranchising democracy and so it's really a heinous attempt and it's terrible that we smear seeing these kinds of policies being put in place so you're here in d.
