5/31/2023 0 Comments Bob woodwards latest book![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is an exact transcript of the exchange that has already given rise to to hundreds of thousands of words of meaningless commentary. If reports are to be believed, this fragment from Woodward's "explosive new book" (the exact phrase that has been used to describe very nearly every book the man has published in my lifetime) is evidence of a - get this - " cover-up" of the not exactly secret virus that emerged in Wuhan last fall. ![]() Hence my inability to get worked up about the 52-second snippet of conversation between two septuagenarians released amid a great deal of manufactured outrage on Wednesday afternoon. (Who now can remember a single thing "reported" in the vast shelf of books he wrote about the administrations of Bill Clinton, the two Bushes, and Barack Obama?) The second is Woodward himself, who can somehow never get over his luck at finding a vindictive FBI agent passed over for promotion willing to give him the time of day. In these circles Rage will be feverishly and uncritically discussed and tweeted out in snippets - all five or so pages of a total 480 capable of arousing even minimal if still largely feigned enthusiasm - until it is promptly and inexorably forgotten. The first is the only class of persons likely to be aware of the book's existence, namely Woodward's fellow journalists and the rapidly aging subset of upper-middle-class white liberals who will purchase and perhaps even read parts of it. ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Friedman capitalism and freedom![]() ![]() ![]() This new edition includes prefaces written by Friedman for both the 19 reissues of the book, as well as a new foreword by Binyamin Appelbaum, lead economics writer for the New York Times editorial board. Enduring in its eminence and esteem, it has sold nearly a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and continues to inform economic thinking and policymaking around the world. How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, Milton Friedman provides the definitive statement of an immensely influential economic philosophy-one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom.įirst published in 1962, Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom is one of the most significant works of economic theory ever written.

Instead you had to haul us off to a deserted island in the middle of the North Atlantic where we’ll probably get eaten by polar bears! You’ve never heard of Miami Beach? Crumpet, the spoiled princess in the suitcase retorted. Hell was this bleak, hostile winter island. Annie decided that anybody who believed in hell as a fiery furnace had it all wrong. How could you bring me to this awful place?Īn icy blast rocked the car, and the branches of the old fir trees hovering over the unpaved road whipped like witches’ hair. You know I hate the cold, her suitcase replied, in the annoying whine of a child who preferred making a point by stamping her foot. ![]() “Just because it feels like the end of the world doesn’t mean it is.” “It’s only a little snow,” she told the oversize red suitcase wedged into the passenger seat. The high beams of her headlights could barely penetrate the dark, swirling chaos of the winter blizzard, and the windshield wipers on her ancient Kia were no match for the wrath of the storm that had hit the island. Without you visionary women, I would not be a writer.ĪNNIE DIDN’T USUALLY TALK TO her suitcase, but she wasn’t exactly herself these days. I owe my love of reading to your magical novels.

He followed that up in the next few years with memorable performances in David Fincher's "Seven" (1995) and Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys" (1995), the latter of which led to his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Nearly a decade after leaving college to go to California, Pitt broke through in 1994, where he starred in "Interview with the Vampire" (1994) and "Legends of the Fall" (1994). Pitt's first notable role arrived in Ridley Scott's "Thelma & Louise" (1991), which led to another scene-stealing turn a few years later in the Quentin Tarantino-written "True Romance" (1993). ![]() ![]() That was followed up by a starring role on the show "Glory Days" (Fox 1990), but that only lasted six episodes. His first leading film role was in "The Dark Side of the Sun" (1988), but the film was barely seen. ![]() His early work was mostly uncredited, with appearances in "Less Than Zero" (1987) and an episode of "21 Jump Street" (Fox 1987-1991). As he came of age, he attended the University of Missouri, but just shy of graduation, he left, setting sail for California so he could try his hand at becoming an actor in the mid-1980s. Born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, Brad Pitt viewed Hollywood from afar in his youth. ![]() |
