P. Dutton & co., Inc., reprinted by permission of the publishers. Also see Acknowledgments. Early Family History and Background PREFACE The purpose of this book is to preserve family history and to perpetuate pride in the accomplishments of our pioneer ancestors. It is understandable that the contents of Chapter One may be tiresome reading to some. However, it was included for the benefit of those who might want to go more thoroughly into the background of the family. The old and original spellings - and misspellings - have been used. This book is not intended to be a final story of the Chitwood family of Virginia, but, rather, a first chapter of the story, which we hope will never be ended. It may appear strange that a native of Illinois, born of parents from Kansas, living in Indiana, writes a book about people in Virginia. True, much information is available, if at all, only in Virginia. But, the Indiana State Library, the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Public Library and the National Archives have vast amounts of pertinent information on their shelves, on microfilm and on microcards; and the courteous assistance of their personnel must be remembered.

Andrew Schwartz, Senior Vice President for External Relations, CSIS Bob Schieffer, CBS Political News Contributor; Former Host, “Face the Nation,” CBS News Date: Monday, July 24, 2017 Transcript By Superior Transcriptions LLC www.superiortranscriptions.com (Music plays.) BOB SCHIEFFER: I’m Bob Schieffer. H. ANDREW SCHWARTZ: And I’m Andrew Schwartz. MR. SCHIEFFER: And these are conversations about the news. We’re in the midst of a communications revolution. We have access to more information than any people in history. But are we more informed, or just overwhelmed by so much information we can’t process it? MR. SCHWARTZ: Our podcast is a collaboration of the Bob Schieffer College of Communication at TCU and the CSIS in Washington. MR. SCHIEFFER: In this first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, we’re talking to the reporters who are covering the president the closest. (Music plays.) MR. SCHIEFFER: Today on the podcast we have Ruth Marcus, an op-ed columnist for The Washington Post, who specializes in American politics and domestic policy. She’s also the deputy editorial page editor. She went to Yale and then went to Harvard Law School. And if I’m correct, you started writing for the Post while you were in law school. And then did you ever leave, or is that the only place you’ve ever worked? RUTH MARCUS: That’s – well, I worked for a small legal newspaper before I went into law school, which kind of explains my detour.

  • A 'Hidden Asset' at Citigroup Has Given the Bank a Dominant Position in The
    A ‘hidden asset’ at Citigroup has given the bank a dominant position in the fastest-growing business on Wall Street – but challengers are knocking at the door Alex Morrell Apr. 4, 2019, 7:00 AM Naveed Sultan, the global head of Citi's TTS business. Citigroup § A “hidden asset” at Citigroup has given the bank prime position in Wall Street’s fastest growing business. § The Treasury and Trade Solutions division is Citi's crown jewel, pulling in $9.3 billion in revenue in 2018. § While less glamorous, transaction banking is a $95-billion-a-year market and will continue to be Wall Street's engine of growth in the near future, according to industry research. § Citi has for years dominated the field, and its treasury unit may be the secret weapon in unlocking the bank's potential and satisfying investors like the activist ValueAct. § But other big banks are making investments and looking to dislodge Citi's stranglehold over the top spot. One morning this January, Jim Cramer, the brash and voluble financial-television personality, hemmed and hawed on CNBC's "Squawk Box" before the markets opened about Citigroup's fourth- quarter earnings, which had been announced shortly before. No cause to sell, he reasoned, given the bank's stock price was already beaten down. But no reason to buy either — aside from the beaten-down stock price. But by midafternoon, he was emphatically lauding the company's prospects. What changed his tune? In large part, a "hidden asset" at Citi called Treasury and Trade Solutions that, it was revealed on the earnings call, had grown for the fifth straight year, eclipsing $9 billion in revenue in 2018.
