  • SPEAKER 1: Please Take Your Seats Now, and Join Me in Welcoming Tonight's Guests and Director of the Institute of Politics, Mark D
    SPEAKER 1: Please take your seats now, and join me in welcoming tonight's guests and director of the Institute of Politics, Mark D. Gearan. MARK GEARAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to tonight's forum. We have an extraordinary group of colleagues here to discuss campaign 2020. And it's about time we do that right here at the Institute of Politics. So we've put together a great panel of those-- some who have been former fellows here, and those who know politics well, Republicans and Democrats, strategists that will really animate tonight's discussion. We start with Robby Mook with Scott Jennings here. Scott is a former resident fellow, and Robby is a visiting fellow here. They both teamed up, and they teach a course here at the Kennedy School on their perspective from having run Hillary Clinton's campaign to a Republican strategist and close advisor to Majority Leader McConnell. Really provide a great perspective. Reggie Hubbard joins us here as a strategist, Democratic strategist and grassroots strategist with Move On, and having served in the Obama-Biden world, and Sanders. So we welcome you and Alice Stewart, who has long and deep experience in Republican politics, from Senator Santorum and Governor Romney and Michele Bachman and loads of good campaigns. And of course, many of them are known to you from their commentary on CNN as analysts. And the perfect person to moderate this is our own senior fellow here at the Institute of Politics, Dan Balz, who, of course, is the chief correspondent for the Washington Post, who has covered every campaign, presidential campaign for several, several cycles, and brings his deep experience to that.

  • The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED from the CLOUDS
    The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS Chapter 1 "Are we rising again?" "No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!" "For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast!" "There! the last sack is empty!" "Does the balloon rise?" "No!" "I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us!" "Overboard with every weight! . everything!" Such were the loud and startling words which resounded through the air, above the vast watery desert of the Pacific, about four o'clock in the evening of the 23rd of March, 1865. Few can possibly have forgotten the terrible storm from the northeast, in the middle of the equinox of that year. The tempest raged without intermission from the 18th to the 26th of March. Its ravages were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia, covering a distance of eighteen hundred miles, and extending obliquely to the equator from the thirty-fifth north parallel to the fortieth south parallel. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, which the published accounts numbered by hundreds, whole districts leveled by waterspouts which destroyed everything they passed over, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its fury, left by this devastating tempest. It surpassed in disasters those which so frightfully ravaged Havana and Guadalupe, one on the 25th of October, 1810, the other on the 26th of July, 1825.

  • Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Heads to London
    ET's Kevin Frazier Flies With the Angels as Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Heads to London 4:09 PM PST, December 01, 2014 Forty-seven Victoria's Secret Angels headed to London for the VS Fashion Show and ET's Kevin Frazier flew in style with the models. Angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, both 33, will be hanging up their wings this year, and we were there for Adriana's lingerie fitting in New York before heading across the pond. "The outfit itself is like a corset dress with details for lace and leather -- like shiny leather and it's something that I love," said Adriana. Adriana's outfit is just one of 81 that viewers will see on the runway for the Dec. 2 show. The event will also include a return performance by Taylor Swift with Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and Hozier also on the bill. After the fitting it was on to the U.K. via a special Victoria's Secrret flight. "Everywhere you turn there are models," Kevin observed. "That's just how it works on this flight." Before boarding, Kevin and the Angels took plenty of selfies forr the old scrapbook. "Usually I see you holding a microphone," Adriana told Kevin. "This is the first time I've seen you holding a camera." Once on the plane, Kevin was tucked in by Alessandra and Adriana. "You all need to take a nap," Alessandra advised before the six-hour flight. "Here you go," Alessandra said, placing a blindfold over Kevin's eyes. The tricky part came when they touched down in London and had to get 47 models and their entourage through customs.
