In the resulting narrative, Internet governance policy rises from a relatively marginal issue for the foreign policy establishment to a significant component of U.S.

Introduction: Romney’s Dilemma Mitt Romney woke up on the morning of September 11, 2012, with big hopes for this day – that he’d stop the slow slide of his campaign for the presidency. The political conventions were in his rear-view mirror, and the Republican nominee for the White House was trailing President Obama in most major polls. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released at the start of the week, the former Massachusetts governor’s previous 1-point lead had flipped to a 6-point deficit.1 “Mr. Obama almost certainly had the more successful convention than Mr. Romney,” wrote Nate Silver, the polling guru and then-New York Times blogger.2 While the incumbent’s gathering in Charlotte was marked by party unity and rousing testimonials from Obama’s wife, Michelle, and former President Bill Clinton, Romney’s confab in Tampa had fallen flat.

    4/3/2020 David Sarnoff - Wikipedia David Sarnoff David Sarnoff (February 27, 1891 – December 12, 1971) was a Russian-American businessman and pioneer of American radio and David Sarnoff television. Throughout most of his career he led the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in various capacities from shortly after its founding in 1919 until his retirement in 1970. He ruled over an ever-growing telecommunications and media empire that included both RCA and NBC, and became one of the largest companies in the world. Named a Reserve Brigadier General of the Signal Corps in 1945, Sarnoff thereafter was widely known as "The General."[3] Sarnoff is credited with Sarnoff's law, which states that the value of a broadcast network is proportional to the number of viewers.[4] Contents Sarnoff in 1922 Early life and career Born February 27, 1891 Business career Uzlyany near RCA Minsk, Russian RKO Empire (present- Early history of television day Belarus) World War II Died December 12, 1971 Post-war expansion (aged 80) Later years Manhattan, New Family life York City, United States Honors Resting place Kensico Cemetery Sarnoff museum Valhalla, New York, See also United States References 41.0779°N Sources 73.7865°W Further reading Nationality Russian External links Citizenship American, Russian Years active 1919–1970 Employer Early life and career Marconi Wireless David Sarnoff was born to a Jewish family in Uzlyany, a small town in Company the Pale of Settlement of the Russian Empire, now part of Belarus, the Radio son of Abraham and Leah Sarnoff.
