Martin O’Malley Tweeted “Opposing bad trade deals like TPP is just common sense. Let’s make our voices heard” and included link to Bad Trade Deals video from yesterday. Reported that he will travel to NH on May 13. Bernie Sanders Stalled action on TPP by using an procedural maneuver in the Senate Finance Committee. He objected to a rule that allows committees to meet during legislative sessions and in doing so he prevented the Finance Committee from addressing the trade bill until 4pm. That is significant because Senate Democrats have dozens of amendments prepared for the bill, which will take several hours to address in committee. Jim Webb No update.

Rand Paul Skipped Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on State Department funding, CNN reported instead he was on a radio program and attacked YOU on 7 Benghazi.

  • The Life and Death of an Icon Facil Ute Core Core Tie Modiam, Conulla
    WW | xxxxxxxx THIS STORY ALWAYS HAD everything, didn’t it? The blushing young innocent who transformed herself into the most adored – and most hunted – woman in the world. The Cinderella who found her Prince Charming – or thought she did – and then entered the palace via the golden carriage. The fairytale but fraudulent wedding of the century, followed by that grim parable of death in the Paris tunnel. The romance, the adultery, the royal intrigue, the eternal, hopeless quest for love, the media’s crazed preoccupation and pursuit. TIn her lifetime, Diana was the People’s Princess who, in death, became the Sleeping Beauty and the Lady of the Lake. She was the stuff that myths are made of and, like her or not, believe it or not, hers was a tale of epic, monumental proportions, that mesmerised the world for 16 years – from the time she walked down the aisle in St Paul’s Cathedral to the time of her funeral in Westiminster Abbey, witnessed by, what was it, a quarter of the world’s population? permafrost and the duke’s Teutonic coldness Think of Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, to Diana’s single-minded pursuit of Prince Greta Garbo, Jackie Onassis, perhaps even Charles and her elder son, William’s, interest Mother Theresa, and roll them into one in becoming governor-general of Australia. iconic figure, and you might approach the The Diana Spencer that emerges from fame, the celebrity of Diana Spencer, the pages of Tina Brown’s The Diana Celebrated editor Tina Princess of Wales.

    THE PONTIFICAL ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES 6-7 February 2020 | Casina Pio IV | Vatican City EDUCATION THE GLOBAL COMPACT Today too, children are a sign. They are a sign of hope, a sign of life, but also a “diagnostic” sign, a marker indicating the health of families, society and the entire world.

Original Message -- From: Jill Iscol To: H Sent: Fri Dec 10 11:16:23 2010 Subject: FW: Letter to Hillary - from Tina Brown Dear Hillary, Although I had intended to shoot you an email about far more mundane matters, Tina called and asked me for advice on this request so I figured this should take precedence. Admittedly, in my opinion, this would be a particularly wonderful story because it would certainly underscore the significance of your work as well as that of the women throughout the world who are truly making a significant impact as they gain rights and access to opportunities in every sector. Having said this, I don't have a clue what else is on your calendar nor what the variables are that go into these kinds of decisions. Hence, although I personally love the idea, I am, primarily, a messenger. I am so sorry I didn't get to the TED Women's conference in DC. Perhaps, if I had known you were on the agenda, I would have tried to crash!! ( remember that word from our high school days)? In reality, I did not have the time to go and thought it was rather pricey to attend. I am busy working on the book which is going so well.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

Edward Kosner reviews ‘The Vanity Fair Diaries’ by Tina Brown. EMAIL By Edward Kosner PERMALINK Nov. 13, 2017 4:08 pm ET SAVE PRINT TEXT 4 Tina Brown has fashioned a glittery career out of brains and flair, a rarer combination among magazine editors than you might think. Arriving in New York from London’s Tatler in 1983, she jump-started Vanity Fair and performed CPR on the New Yorker, then oversaw the train wreck Talk (bankrolled by Harvey Weinstein) and, briefly, the husk of Newsweek when it was merged with her Daily Beast website. She’s now in business with the New York Times as the impresario of the Women in the World global gabfests. She has lost lots of money for most of her mogul backers but rewarded them with ample “buzz,” the prized chatter among the cognoscenti that her efforts invariably produce. People tend to settle into two camps about Tina Brown. One school hails her brilliance as a pitch-perfect, inventive editor and quicksilver writer, the author notably of a 2007 best seller about Diana, Princess of Wales.
