mr. shirley here. take advantage. a quick word about buying books. this is a free event, but it does -- and i emphasize does -- help the book festival if you buy a book. the more books we sell, the more publish beers will want to send their -- publishers will want to send their authors with us. politics & prose benefits our local economy and supports local job, so if you enjoy this program and you're in a position to do to so, please, buy some books. all right. let me introduce this esteemed panel we have here. tackling the familiar is a challenge for even the most seasoned author. the task is even more daunting when the familiar is an icon and a hero to m. done well, the best books often illuminate a subject -- i'm sorry, let me try that again. they provide texture, context, nuance. w the really good ones speak tote the soul. noted reagan biographer craig shirley is that author, "reagan rising" is that book. the son of charter members of the new york state conservative party, mr. shirley comes by his love of reagan and conservativism honestly.

and interestingly enough, two of the 26 copies are here in the albert and shirley small special collection library. mr. small's copy is one of the finest known. and has a very interesting provenance and we can trace the ownership back to the early 19th century and owned by a name of tobias lear, george washington's last personal secretary. and there's a fairly good chance that earlier it had belonged to george washington. the purpose of the dunlap broad side printed on the evening of july 4 was to disseminate the news as quickly as possible throughout the 13 colonies. so copies were sent on horseback far and wide to government representatives in each colony so the news could be read aloud and reprinted and spread by any means possible. once the news arrived in various cities in the now united states, the text of the declaration was reprinted in various forms. as separate broad sides like the dunlap broad side or in nugent-hopkins, also in period -- or in newspapers also in periodicals and in great britain. this broad side was printed in salem, massachusetts, after the news arrived there later in july

mr. buffett: i think you should look for the job that you would want to hold if you didn't need a job. you're probably only going to live once. shirleydiffer with that, or a few people, but you do not want to go sleepwalking through life. and you really -- whether you make x or 120% of x, it really isn't remotely as important as to whether in most cases you marry the right person and you also find something that you would do if you did not need the money. i have had that job for, you know, 50 or more years. and i was lucky in that i sort of found early on what turned me on that way, but don't settle for something if you can possibly -- don't worry about making the most money this week or next month. when i offered to work for ben graham, i said i would work for nothing, and i meant it. just the idea of being turned on. so look for the job that turns you on, find a passion. ♪ ♪ haslinda: hello and welcome to "high flyers," the show that gives you a 360 degree view of asia's business elite. today, we meet one of asia's youngest and most prominent hoteliers. while other companies are tapping into millennial trends, this millennial is le
