In doing so, he became the !rst African American to earn the top spot on a major political party’s presiden- tial ticket. This historical twist of fate was not lost on Obama, but in keeping with his campaign strategy, which called for him to avoid discussing race, he downplayed the happenstance, alluding to it only with a passing refer- ence to “a young preacher from Georgia.”) The media, however, did not hesi- tate to point out the coincidence, freely invoking the spirit of King and the March on Washington. Political cartoonists re*ected this tendency in their work. While covering Obama’s nomination, they made frequent reference to that historic day nearly half a century earlier. Cartoonist R. J. Matson, for example, published a piece the day before Obama’s acceptance speech that featured King, standing on steps not unlike those of the Lincoln Memorial (from which King delivered his most famous speech), holding an oversized replica of Obama’s campaign emblem high above his head., Allusions to King and the March on Washington made by those covering Obama’s campaign neither began nor ended with the Democratic National Convention. Instead, they spanned the full length of Obama’s run for the White House, starting in earnest the day he announced his candidacy in Feb- ruary #--.

A hurricane roared and raged through the night. And in the middle of the chaos, a cargo ship was sinking down down down to the ocean floor. The ship left hundreds of crates floating on the surface. But as the hurricane thrashed and swirled and knocked them around, the crates also began sinking into the depths. One after another, they were swallowed up by the waves, until only five crates remained. By morning the hurricane was gone. There were no clouds, no ships, no land in sight. There was only calm water and clear skies and those five crates lazily bobbing along an ocean current. Days passed. And then a smudge of green appeared on the horizon. As the crates drifted closer, the soft green shapes slowly sharpened into the hard edges of a wild, rocky island. The first crate rode to shore on a tumbling, rumbling wave and then crashed against the rocks with such force that the whole thing burst apart.

  • Extreme Ironing
    Perspectives articles Extreme Ironing Author: Amanda Jones Photo by Theredrocket at English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10609311 Air-guitar, hobby horsing, bunny jumping, curling… there are tonnes of sports that do not get their due. If you are looking to combine a love of white goods and extreme challenges, then Extreme Ironing may be for you. It has been around for forty one years – with international competitors, corporate sponsors, and all the intrigue, scandal and drama associated with any respectable sporting endeavour. At any given event, one is likely to see 100 athletes from 13 nations competing. The United Kingdom. Germany. Austria. Australia. South Africa. Sweden. From the sides of cliffs to the peaks of snowy mountains, underwater, while parachuting, on frozen lakes, Extreme Ironing is actually a thing. Combine your desire to push yourself to your very physical and psychological limits with a love of meticulously crease-free materials, and you may have found your home. The origins may not be lost to the murky mists of history, but there is some controversy. The sport did not begin in 1997 in Leicester, as first asserted to the media, but far earlier in 1980 in the Yorkshire Dales. It’s first international championship was held in 2003 in Munich. The event remains perhaps the most accurate reflection of what Extreme Ironing is all about – the physicality, the technical skills, the intrigue. A proudly British invention, three teams departed from the UK, well aware that they could not afford yet another British sport dominated by foreigners.
