but you saw, mark twain, daniel clemens was mark twain who had columnist men who wrote newspaper columns often gave themselves a pendant name to give persona to the column. women use a pen names more often though to protect themselves because it was not necessarily respected that they were being so public with themselves, right? and also because depending on what they were writing about you see this as we move into the 20th century women start using initials to hide their gender. so while nelly and dorothy chose very feminine pen names because they are reporting was very gendered, if a woman wanted to write about something that was not gendered so to speak that was in finance or politics she would often use initials so that you could not see that she was a woman. there is a question there. >> you said. [inaudible] why is that you see that changing in the near futuret all? >> when you look at the ratios of women to men in the newsroom, why is that, i see that changing. that's a really good question. and the reason it is so interesting is that classrooms in journalism and mass communicatio

mark twain got to know sickles late in life. valued way above the limits last for imperfectly sure if it apart with either one of them he would part with the one he got. right? that kind of summarizes how it sickles war hero played up the missing leg. there is another quote here i do not use as much but i want to close with. twain added this i will also say that, sickles never made it on generous remark about anybody. he spoke severely of this and that and the other person. but he spoke with dignity and courtesy. there was no validity in what he said pretty nearly pronounce what he evidently regarded as just criticism upon them. i can see that i can see dan sickles the new yorker getting older. not really going after meade with malice or hatred, anything like that i'm right because i'm a dan sickles kind of thing i see that. as i'm getting older start to do the same thing i get it. most of you do to so don't laugh too hard there. that is mark twain on sickles and in closing let's summarize what if sickles had stayed in position

so that's mark twain on sickles and in closing. let's summarize. you know, what's the number one question we all get what if sickles and state in position. what would have happened answer? we don't know. it's not that we can never use what if history but we don't know if sickles the state imposition but one. do an assessment of the terrain was the peach orchard key or decisive to either army? no. neither army benefited two did sickles disrupt mead's defense. yes. he did. however higher numeric casualties, but if you look at them on a percentage basis kind of equal on a percentage basis and again, i don't mean to be cold about this but the army of the potomac could afford casualties more than the army of northern virginia would three did sickles lose the positions that he moved into. yes, and that's an unequivocal. yes. he lost the positions even with increased support. 4 did longstreets suffer heavy casualties taking meaningless positions. yes. he did in my opinion hood macaws are chewed up fighting for ground. that was of no value. 5 did leaves ar

perhaps the greatest mark twain. twain said god invented war to teach americans geography. winston churchill is the reason why churchill's announce the onset of the cold war which would continue for 43 years. as he did in the 1930s 1940s churchill saw things early and said things clearly. i haven't amiable long distance disagreement as a child of central illinois i insist lincoln is the greatest figure in the history of world politics. and everyone insists it is churchill. this much is indisputable. the only remaining argument he did something that great hoarders can do cap the imagination, anxiety, puzzlement, a phrase that riveted attention, is into two syllable words the high stakes of the politics, it was of course iron curtain. the word iron suggested the danger of permanence as did the beginning of august of 1961 the concrete of the berlin wall. but part of churchill's realism which is my subject today is the knowledge that nothing necessarily lasts. nothing. the only political things that last work tirelessly to make permanent or to get rid of. the second phrase iron

he was as well-known and widely read is in the american writer since mark twain yet steinbeck was hardly revered or appreciated by the arbiters of the literary. during his lifetime critic dismissed his work is overly sentimental and not stylistically intimated. his literary reputation developed a parallel just popular acclaim. americans read a steinbeck because he articulated the daily striving more effectively and authentically than any writer of his generation. i'm drawn to his advocacy for families and the depression years who journeyed for my adoptive state of oklahoma and the rest of the southern plains to california. i appreciate the understanding for struggles or food, shelter, health, dignity of those who labor with their hands. perhaps my own back story explains my affinity. i grew up in working-class government housing in london. there is a single small bookcase with a paperback edition of mice and men was among its contents. that little book spoke to me with the directness thomas dickinson thomas hardy could not match steinbeck's advocate was him cursive nonetheless it was hea

but it wasn't just an american thing even though we can look to will rodgers and mark twain. it's also a global reality. you can look back at the ancient egyptians and the romans and the two mocks the authorities of the day. it is a key way of perhaps let think the burden of daily life. like jesters or fools of european court late night comic had license to seek truth to power in a way that other political powers would find difficult to do. it allows for exaggerations to create an environment where you can remind people that you were only kidding if the joke seem to go too far. but if you look across the 30 years that johnny carson's career rarely did he go too far for his audience. largely because he knew it so well. society relish the opportunity to cut political leaders down to size. a joke even a sharp one, can reduce the arrogance and perhaps the creeping authoritarianism that is a modern centralized powerful government with extraordinary capacity to build standing armies extraordinary capacity to have a discourse domination from the national leadership. the more arrogan

as mark twain said, this does not repeat itself, but it certainly does rhyme.his is a very swift resurgence of the taliban. last weekend for me was a signal of the way the taliban was able to take provinces to the left, to the north, and to be able to circle kabul, and this was quicker than the intelligence community had assessed, which was months at one point, then to 90 days, and it happened within a weekend. you had the afghani president flee the country. this shows it was quite simple for the taliban to stroll in two kabul and -- stroll into kabul and clean the streets. you heard a little bit of that from the secretary of state on the sunday shows. that was a shock, how swift the taliban was able to get into the capital. jonathan: two hours. what do allies think? annmarie: the biden administration went from trump's america first to america back. many nato allies feel they were left high and dry. they also feel they are now going to be dealing with a significant refugee crisis. as you can see afghan is just desperate to get out of the country because many of

here's the responses from craig shirley some of his favorite books include mark twain the adventures of tom sara jay winick 1955. miracle in philadelphia tom wolf the bond fire and larry mcmurtry, lonesome dove. currently mr. shirley is reading james watson's endad of days napoleon hill's -- jon meacham's franklin winston and michael dobbs one w minute to midnight. a lot of history titles there mr. shirley that one stood out to me and that was napoleon hill's think and grow risk. what is that about? >> that book it's been around for 100 years. my grandmother in georgia first turned me onto it when i was a young boy. it was kind of similar to other motivational books but it's different to. the power of positive thinking by norman vincent peel. similar to his book and its inspirational about how you achieve different means through spiritual means an economic means and social means. it's a book we read for pleasure and just to reenergize every couple years and i have for many years now. as a matter fact for many years i also whenever i hired a new person my pr firm i gave them a copy of

what do i fear is when we have these conversations now, reminded me of mark twain who often quoted someone else, figures don't lie, by liars figure. we use data that tends to support our position. i am concerned about the fiscal health of this country. which includes, by the way, not only how much we spend, but how much we tax and whether we are going to tax fairly. whether we are going to have a progressive taxcies tefment income tax system. whether we tax wealth in some small measure to help pay for needed investments. i do think of investments. it's interesting, mr. chairman, you made a great point a number of times that we are not a small business. we are not a family. so using those metrics aren't appropriate. but even still when i think of a small business, you want to expand, you usually don't have the cash available to do it, what do you do? you go to the bank if you are a small business. even if you are a larger business or major corporation. you go to the markets whether it's the bond markets. you seek other kinds of financing to continue to make investments that will ultimately
