george putnam came from a famous publishing company family from new york. gp putnam and sons.nd another thing that george set up for amelia was an opportunity to write a book about her experience. 20 hours, 40 minutes by amelia earhart came out literally two months after her famous flight. the manuscript was all ready to go, and she penned a final chapter upon her return to america, and immediately they were able to publish this to kind of capitalize on all of the media attention. putnam also set up a guest editorship at cosmopolitan magazine and so in this case we see one of the magazines in which she published an article about flying. and about the future of airline transportation. and women's role in that. although amelia and george putnam were looking to capitalize on this historic flight, amelia also recognized that there was an opportunity to use her fame as a platform for encouraging and advancing women in aviation and not only aviation, but giving women the encouragement to pursue independent lives outside the home. and so these articles, these books become opportuniti

they had very positive feelings of the colony's and died in the arms of putnam and the massachusettsure had voted monday for a memorial for the westminster abbey and they never forgot that. these were two brothers one was the admiral in their hope was not to destroy washington's army but to reach the point where the americans were forced to negotiate and that would be better for the reconciliation. but that message with an whole scheme selfie cents down cornwallis like what benedict arnold had done it is very interesting on either side of the of river through trenton and into the delaware why should the british said wave after wave of soldiers over there very narrow bridge by canon but the american army is in a very tight spot because there is no where to hide. cornwallis says we will get them in the morning. so with some help, he agreed even though was of very personal he hoped to mount because some were held down on horseback and with some other input decided to speak out to do the end run that is the great victory of princeton that would just add to have the added effect to carry

after 12, watch what happens, showers popping up, especially new jersey, the hudson valley, putnam county, orange county. you'll see downpours develop through the day. that's where most of the rain stays today. in the hudson valley, northwest new jersey, new york city, kind of right on the border. we may see rain. as you head east, drying out nicely. in the hamptons, fireeye land, even down the jersey shore, should be mostly dry throughout the day. heading into the overnight hours, scattered showers and storms, waking up to more rain tomorrow morning. the day starts out nasty and damp with showers an a few downpours. heading into later on 11:00 sunday, still a few showers hanging around. we try to dry things out by tomorrow afternoon. maybe get a few sunny breaks in there towards the end of the day and rain returns as we're heading into monday. the reason i'm concerned about flooding between today, tomorrow and into monday, we're expecting anywhere from 1 to 3 inches. depending on where you get the downpours setting up. right now looks like the biggest that could cause localized flooding

you are finished in nassau and suffolk pattern i'm -- putnam. [cheers and applause] and i know that several of your neighbors can't stand you. we are going to take you out in new york and we are going to do it the way ronald reagan did it, the same break down of those between the city, the suburbs and upstate new york. if we can take you out in new york, while here we are going to wind date and we are. we've got a much better candidate that allows the american people to understand and to appreciate. we will have a candidate with the skills to communicate. i've only seen matched by maybe ronald reagan, maybe bill clinton as a great communicator. maybe obama. great communicator, terrible president. but i think more than day -- not believe more than that. he understands modern american communication better than anybody. i think he understands american television better than anyone. and i think he knows how to overcome the distance manages against him in the disadvantages of all the money hillary had by his complete domination of the free media. you

a few light showers into putnam, and rockland. the thing is even though this area of rainfall, there is this front snaking around to the south. what's happening is areas of low pressure riding along it. there's one right there. it's going to work along the front end approach tomorrow afternoon. where things are quiet, and thunderstorms likely to come in. best chance in the western suburbs and at night, have the umbrellas handy, scattered showers and thunderstorms into sunday morning. and sunday mid-day and afternoon may improve but not clear up. sunday is not a wash out, but a best chance of showers would be early than just mostly cloudy skies and a widely scattered shower for the rest of the afternoon. looking at the future cast, we have that isolated shower this evening and patchy clouds overnight. the majority of friday night are thickening in the afternoon. showers, especially west of new york city, but by late day and evening, i think you're going to be fine in connecticut and long island, and have a dry day. tomorrow night i

putnam books use his reviewses as blurbs on the back. so it's fairly remarkable that you have a sitting is secretary of defense taking time out to review works of fiction as opposed to doing things like working on budgets or handling the many, many issues that come with running an organization as large as the claens so a reason for the novel's media appeal to reagan is jack ryan bears a strong resemblance to marshall will kane, ryan becomes the protagonist reluctantly and serves as a moral center for the norvel. 'apologizes for every deception such as when he's forced to wear a naval uniform and states he does not like pretending to be what he's not. even that rankles ryan so much establishes him as a character who puts what's right over what's necessary. in true marshall kane fashion, ryan does not seek accolades for his work. instead he declines an opportunity to go to the white house to receive official praise from the president. and instead immediately boards a plane to head home with a gift for his daughter in hand to mark the compl

are positive feelings about the american colonies, the elder george died in the arms of his real putnam and the massachusetts legislature voted money for a memorial on westminster alley and they never forgot that. these are two brothers, one was an admiral and the other was a pair and their hope was not to destroy washington but to reach the point where americans would be forced to negotiate. they felt that would be better for reconciliation but trenton mastered that scheme. he sends cornwallis down, very much like what benedict arnold had earlier done, was very interesting. the other side of the river flows through trenton into the delaware. and they are repulsed, american army is in a tight spot. cornwallis it as it comes on -- what does washington do? even though he betrayed washington in a personal way a month earlier helped him out at this stage because he had taken philadelphia on horse back up to princeton earlier and figured out the lay of the land up there and they decided to sneak out that night and do an end run and attack princeton and that would become the great victory of

others like carl from putnam and barbara from hinesburg said i don't use a smartphone. i don't i would want to scan everything i looked at in my supermarket in any case. there are hundreds of vermonters that sent me a letter that said the bill requires the labeling of packaged foods containing g.m.o.'s in one of three ways. electronic that consumers can scan, a usda developed symbol or label. the ability of the manufacturers to decide which of the three methods they prefer. guess which method big food will choose? i have no doubt they'll choose the electronic code that can only be read from a scanner. they know few will want to do this and even fewer will be able to. well, mr. president, it's clear the proposal before us today is driven more by the powerful special interests and by a commitment to honor consumers' right to know or by a legitimate effort to make information available to all americans. i remain concerned that this legislation takes away the rights of vermont or actually any other state to legislate in a way that advances public health and food safety or i
