Popular history has been conquered by a complacent liberalism
Television history, in particular, has changed - and not always for the better.
By David Priestland Published 01 November 2012At the end of September, the BBC screened the first part of its eight-part History of the World, written and presented by Andrew Marr. Within days of the show's first episode, another world historian, Eric Hobsbawm, died, at the age of 94. Although the proximity of the two events was coincidental, it did seem as if the baton was being passed from one public historian, keen to paint the "big picture" and with a taste for the grand sweep, to another.
However, a closer comparison of the two men reveals how far popular history has changed and not always for the better. For Marr's series shows the extent to which the struggle to interpret our history has been won by a complacent liberalism. And victory has been rather easy, as many historians have simply refused to join the fight.
This is a triumph with serious consequences – especially for anyone trying to make sense of the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Our view of history shapes our attitude towards contemporary politics. Consciously or not, we are perpetually judging the present by the measure of the past. Once a particular "history" that supports the status quo becomes all-powerful, it is very difficult to make alternative political and economic solutions seem either plausible or necessary.
Hobsbawm and his generation of intellectuals were keenly aware of how damaging liberal complacency could be. In the 1920s, the postwar victors were convinced that they could impose the pre-1914 laissez-faire order without fully incorporating the working class – as if the First World War and the Russian Revolution had never happened. Hobsbawm, a teenager in 1930s Berlin, witnessed for himself the disastrous consequences of such conventional thinking – soaring unemployment, social breakdown and the rise of Nazism.
Yet after the Second World War the tables were turned. Now the western elite accepted that states had to control markets and improve workers' lives. This analysis lay behind the grand social-democratic projects of the era – welfare states, the Bretton Woods system and the Marshall Plan. It also underpinned the "Marxist" history that dominated the postwar era: socio-economic forces were central; and educated experts, who understood those forces, could use reason and science to improve society and help the working classes.
However, just as Marxist-influenced history reached its high tide in the 1960s and 1970s, serious signs of decay had set in. For the convulsions of 1968 triggered a powerful – and in many ways justified – critique that left it looking deeply old-fashioned. The main target of the '68-ers was the technocrat-worker alliance that characterised the era of social democracy. Scientists, the new radicals argued, far from being progressive, were apparatchiks of the military- industrial complex. As for the supposedly heroic working class, they had sold their souls to consumerism. History's real heroes were the victims of cultural discrimination – whether ethnic minorities, colonised peoples, women or homosexuals.
This political sea change required an entirely new view of the past. With cultural identity now central, historians scrutinised subjective perceptions, not objective economic conditions. In the vanguard were Ranajit Guha and the "subaltern" historical school, who sought to rescue the cultures of the Indian poor for posterity; meanwhile, gender historians surveyed the many ways in which patriarchy shaped everything from progressive politics to the micro-power relations of everyday life.
This cultural turn was accompanied by an attack on notions of historical "progress". Marxists were now lumped together with liberal "Whig" historians, such as Macaulay, as the false sirens of an Enlightenment that claimed "rationality" would make society more fair and free, when it often did the exact opposite. Newly fashionable "postmodernist" thinkers now saw progress as the highway to the Gulag and the death camp.
Postmodernists insisted that historians themselves, with their simple-minded "grand narratives" – whether "Whig" stories of progress towards liberal democracy and capitalism, or Marxist fables of progress towards communism – were contributing to this oppressive way of thinking. Historians had to avoid all grand theorising and concentrate on the marginalised and the powerless.
One casualty of this approach was economic history. Once the aristocracy of the profession, economic historians were now regarded as servants of hegemony. As free markets swept across the globe after 1989, there were even stronger reasons for historians – like most humanities academics, generally people of the left – to concentrate on the cultural sphere.
Hobsbawm represented all the postmodernists hated: the mandarin surveying the world from Olympian heights, uninterested in everyday life. Surely this was the attitude that led to grandiose projects of social engineering that caused the death of millions (not least in the Soviet Union, of which Hobsbawm was an unrepentant supporter)?
In somewhat diluted form, postmodernist ideas have reshaped both academic and popular history, and with many positive effects. In their insistence on the value of the experiences of ordinary people, such histories fit with a more democratic age. The recent BBC series presented by Pamela Cox, Servants: The True Story of Life Below Stairs, is an excellent example – giving us the real voices of the domestic servant class and driving a coach and horses through the Tory romanticism of Downton Abbey. These histories have also had a broader cultural effect, contributing to a growing intolerance of the abuse of power in ordinary life.
Necessary and important as these gains have been, the rejection of the most influential grand narratives has brought serious losses. In their abandonment of the big picture in favour of the fragment, academic historians have ceded the political high ground. And this crucial strategic space has been occupied by popular historians from the liberal centre and the right, such as Niall Ferguson and Andrew Roberts.
Until the 1980s, it was the right that was most suspicious of grand narratives, whether Marxist or Whig. For them, history was one damn thing after another, a long series of accidents and of great men making decisions; or, for a more "new-age" right, of randomly significant butterflies fluttering their wings in some corner of the globe or other.
Yet after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, it suddenly seemed that history was going their way; the right embraced grand narratives with relish. In his history of the cold war, The Atlantic and its Enemies (2010), the Thatcherite Norman Stone shamefacedly admitted that he had ended up writing a Whig history of progress, even though he had spent much of his youth condemning the very idea.
And it is various forms of Whiggery that dominate our history today – whether propagated by those on the centre-right, such as Stone, or on the centre-left, such as Marr. Much of this is ideological rather than economic Whiggery: history is seen as a battle between liberalism and totalitarianism, and liberalism has won. The political theorist Francis Fukuyama put the argument most eloquently in his 1989 essay "The End of History?". But it also underpinned some of the most popular histories of the early 21st century, including Simon Schama's A History of Britain (2000-02).
We also see it in the widespread notion that Nazism and Stalinism were essentially the same – violently utopian ideologies created by dangerous anti-liberal intellectuals. We are still battling with their heirs, we are told, but the struggle will inevitably be won. This, in essence, was the history that George W Bush used to justify the invasion of Iraq.
Economic Whiggery is equally influential, though it is more frequently peddled by science writers and economists than by historians. Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature (2011) tells an optimistic story of the defeat of warrior values by a peaceable liberalism. More forthright is Matt Ridley's The Rational Optimist (2010). Yoking Darwinism to free market economics, it casts merchants as the main agents of progress in human history.
Ridley's analysis is a cruder version of a fashionable "big history" that combines the insights of evolutionary science with praise for economic globalisation (though it tends to be much more pessimistic about its environmental consequences than Ridley is). In his History of the World, Marr has whipped up all these trends into a tasty dish, mixing evolutionary history with Whiggish enthusiasms about global trade and warnings about "utopian" ideologies, though marinated in a conservative pessimism about human nature and political improvement.
Marr's series is expertly crafted and stimulating; but it rests on an unexamined assumption common to much popular history today: it assumes, as Margaret Thatcher once put it, that "there is no such thing as society". Marr gives us evolutionary imperatives, economic forces, ideologies and great (or evil) men. But the social groups Hobsbawm saw as central to history are in the background.
The Marxists certainly saw these social groups in crude terms – the postmodernists rightly argued that history was not just driven by economic "classes" but by a range of different groups, in part founded on culture and identity. Even so, occupation is enormously important in creating those identities. To ignore that is to deprive ourselves of a powerful tool for understanding.
The violence of the 20th century was not primarily caused by the pursuit of illiberal utopias, nor by evil dictators. It was largely caused by struggles between groups – social, national and ethnic – over questions of hierarchy and equality. These were the battles that brought Hobsbawm and his fellow Berliners on to the streets.
We saw the consequences of this analytical failure in the incomprehension of commentators and policy-makers when confronted with the turmoil of the Arab spring. Having seen the Middle East as the site of a struggle between liberals and "totalitarian" Islamists, they were bewildered as conflict exploded between competing social and ethno-religious groups – poor Islamists, their more business-orientated co-religionists, leftist workers, cosmopolitan liberals, Shias, Sunnis and Christians.
It is no surprise that the left is not flourishing in this intellectual environment. For the left is primarily concerned with equality. And if social hierarchies and the struggles of social and ethnic groups to flatten or bolster them are airbrushed from the historical record, the left's agenda appears wholly irrelevant.
But even more serious, perhaps, is the effect of Whiggish ideas of gradual progress on our understanding of the financial crisis. We are so used to thinking of history as a process of gradual improvement that we find it difficult to remember how suddenly world orders break down – as they did in 1918, the 1930s or the 1970s – and how radically our ideas have to change in response. Whig gradualism simply cannot prepare us for the very serious challenges ahead.
The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard wrote that "life must be lived forward, but it can only be understood backward". The British are right to value their historians, and the BBC should be investing in grand histories. Yet they have to choose the right ones. For bad history may be worse than no history at all.

Not mentioning anywhere the historical emergence of vitanomics -- the revolutionary antithesis to economics -- paradigm and its exposition of the origin and logic of moralities as the basis for all political cogitations.
Perhaps, I'm jumping the gun. The demise of economics and the rise of vitanomics -- the anti thesis to economics -- is not yet history but history in the making.
The jug rared serial adulterer is so annoying as to be utterly unwatchable, if he deals with 'World History' in the same way he deals with the endless list of tired and failed politicians that inhabit his execrable Sunday morning 'Show' that I would suggest that the series has as much creditability as Blair's WMDs.
Hobsbawn knew a lot of history, but it didn't prevent him being at one with Stalinism. Unfortunately, history too often has a way of seguing into wishful fantasy.
Our group is re-reading A L Morton's 1938 A People's History of England. Of course we have all read the vainglorious historians and some who have lost the plot - Hugh Trevor Roper, Andrew Roberts, once London's most marriageable bachelor, and Niall Fergusson intimate of Cardinal Richelieu and Marie Antoinette.
And even Paul Johnson's not inconsiderable efforts in this field. [ Forget Ayn Rand. Gary Cooper et al would like to. ]
H G Wells is not a bad starting point although his issue have re-written it to some extent.
Its amusing to find views and arguments put forward by left-wing historians writing in the between-the-wars twentieth-century resurrected by vanity historians and given the cosmetic surgery treatment. Superfrag............
However, any history is better than the fantasy or myth-based rubbish so popular with today's reading public.
Even worse is history mixed with fantasy. If we see another dragon.......
H Rider Haggard
I no longer watch BBC history programmes. They so clearly have an agenda to reshape the past to justify their political sensibilities of today. I expect the same happens in our schools. I think it's extremely corrosive.
"De mortuis nil nisi bonum" might well be the sub heading for this article; Hobsbawm is dead, though his interpretation of History through a Marxist lens
lives on. Too many lazy lecturers regurgitate the notes and opinions of their youth to today's students. Hobsbawm wrote well, and his "on History" has it's place on my bookshelf-but it is not the final word on the subject.
Neither Andrew Marr with his History of the World condensensed in to an 8 part TV series or Hobsbawm get it entirely right as interpreters of the limitations of the historians' function as destroyer of myth. Both have their views and opinions, but it is the individual who draws the conclusions.

I ordered a white size S, the shoulders are fitted and bunch like there are shoulder pads if I raise my arms. Larger across the chest and midsection and longer than any other adidas size S shirt I own even after shrinking. Material is thin and soft but not cheesy thin. The print has no texture like it's all in ink and is very clear and defined and did not bleed or fade washing it in scalding hot water to shrink it as much as possible.
I was going to mail it back after trying it on at first because it was so large, long, and the shoulders were fitted. After forgetting enough and just trying to shrink it it fits alright.

"There were Hershey kisses waiting on the nightstand. There was also a cute guest book, where people have written down their stories, where they are from, and what brought them there, and it's all people who stayed in that exact room. I thought that was a really nice touch. The view is gorgeous, and I could not have asked for anywhere better to stay for the night! Thank you so much for a great experience!!"

Sep 2, 2013All I can say is that those who are and a lot of people loved "Blood and Sand" series, they absolutely will not csalódni.A author also threw in a large shovel all téren.Csak I recommend one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Nov 28, 2011I remember when i started watching this thought please i hope it has the same dramatic feel to it as the first season. I tell you it didn't disappoint it was amazing, theres even more twists, betrayal and bloody and nakedness
Jun 4, 2011This review contains spoilers.
Aug 14, 2011Outstanding Action Series! I did not think that they could actually improve on the quality of the first season, then they stepped-it-up to a level in the second that is totally addictive! I hope that the producers and directors keep going with similar productions well after the third season. We need at least 20 seasons of Gladiator dramas, in the "300" Graphic-Novel-Style format!!!
Nov 5, 2011When I first started watching blood and sand, I thought that maybe it wasn't that good, but as soon as I reached chapter 5, I realized that this is one of the best show I have ever seen, season 2 made me realize I'll be watching this show until the end.
Jun 22, 2012the best show in the world, better than anything you've ever seen, the acting, the story, the action,
the best,everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr -
Jun 29, 2011A fascinating prequel to Blood and Sand. Whilst the season was unfortunately only six episodes long, each episode told a fascinating story and left me anticipating both the next and the Sequels to Blood and Sand

Feb 21, 2011Behind all that sex and violence are characters that you will grow to care about. And they actually put in a good story to boot. Batiatus and Lucretia stand out here the most as the best onscreen couple you'll ever see.

Feb 13, 2011Absolutely the best TV serious in the history of mankind. This is the perfect combination of fighting in the arena, training, corruption, sex, and scandals. Please note, that if you don't like the following you will not like Spartacus: Blood,Sex,Gore,Extreme violence, and LOTS of adult language. Don't waste your time then, because Spartacus is the best.

Oct 12, 2012Gods of the Arena was a step up from Blood and Sand, the CGI was more refined and the introduction of Gannicus was much appreciated. Yes there is explicit violence and sex but its essentially a Roman slave house, what do you expect?
Starz's Spartacus - Gods of the Arena is endlessly creative when it comes to all things stabby. It seems to have a bottomless bucket of fake blood in its production budget.
It's obviously not for the squeamish, nor perhaps for the refined. But it's al-i-i-i-i-i-ve in so many ways. So what the hell, let's rock.
The result is a production even more fantastically soapy than the first, visually elevated by an apocalyptic video-game look in which the orgiastic sex and violence are presented with a studied, syncopated choreography.

Superman: Unchained #1 Review
Thursday, June 13th, 2013It's been a long time coming for the Man of Steel.
A long time since he's had a series that anyone could be overly excited about. Something that rattled the shelves and made people want to know what was coming in the next installment. I am very pleased to say that the wait is over and not a day too soon.
"Superman: Unchained" is the best Superman book I've read in the last few years. Bar none. This is perfect, since tomorrow (or tonight at midnight, depending on your level of commitment to the Man) the "Man of Steel" is released to the masses.
How coincidental.
"Superman: Unchained" is the product of DC Comics' two biggest stars: Writer Scott Snyder and Artist/DC Co-Publisher/All-Around-Mega-Star Jim Lee. From them, they craft a Superman story that gets you caught up on who he is, jumps from character to action to character, and never misses a beat.
One thing that has been missing from Superman in his comics of late is his stature. No, I'm not talking about his size. (Though, there is an actual POSTER inside the comic that helps illustrate an important sequence of the story. It's beautiful. It really is.) I'm talking about what he's capable of. That no other hero is.
Within the beginning pages, we witness Superman catch a satellite ship falling at cataclysmic speeds out of orbit. While this could be treated as a day to day Superman act (I've seen him do variations on this before), author Snyder uses it to reflect on how reentering space and leaving Earth is similar to a silo jump he and his friends used to do back on the farm. This grounds him in our reality.
From there, it's an exciting rush as we see Superman dismantle the satellite, rescue the workers, think a thousand thoughts a second to try and think of a way from it breaking apart, attempt to save himself, and, finally, pull it off.
Snyder, in the midst of all the chaos, gives us a solid frame of reference for Clark's mind. He calls himself "Clark". I think that sometimes people forget that. It's not a secret identity. It's his name. I found that a wonderful touch to this otherworldly sequence. After that, Snyder takes us on a tour through the world of Superman as he tries to figure out what caused not just that one satellite to crash, but seven others as well. We meet Lex Luthor, who's as brilliant as always. Lois Lane, the ever go-getting overachiever. Jimmy Olsen, who's finally found his niche as not only Clark Kent's friend, but also his partner.
Each of these introductions is so simple, that it proves a super point. That not every character needs to be completely reinvented to suit a current audience. No, the lesson is that sometimes, they just need to be refreshed.
As stated before, like last week, Lee's works suits him best in the action and adventure sequences. In the opening pages, though, there's a moment that takes place in Nagasaki, Japan in 1945, where a young boy looks out his binoculars. It's these bits that remind us why Lee is so much more than most people attune him for. He's an artist.
Snyder and Lee set up a grand storyline with mystery and intrigue abound, one worthy of Superman. With that, I hope you went out yesterday and got your copy at Heroes and Villains Comic Store in time for the charity auction. If not, still, this is the best place to get your Superman fix if you got a hankerin' after "Man of Steel".
Next Week: We take a look at one last Superman story to wrap up our weeks of Superman books. This time, another great intro into the world of Superman. One a bit more modern. This time we're looking at Superman: For All Seasons. Should be a blast.
In addition to writing for the column "Comic Matters" for the Tucson Citizen, Bobby Acosta is also a 5th Grade Elementary school teacher, employee and frequenter of Heroes & Villains Comics/Game Store, and explorer of the importance of comics. He recommends each and every comic he writes about.

A few weeks ago now we brought you the very first details on Child of Light, an ambitious and beautiful downloadable game being made within Ubisoft.
Despite enjoying the backing of one of the largest videogame publishers in the world, the approach to development has been decidedly 'indie' with a small, focussed team of extraordinarily experienced developers working together to create something extremely new and unique.
But what is Child of Light? Very simply, Child of Light is a side-scrolling action platformer with what appears to be light puzzle elements, but there are more than a few twists to raise the game above the ordinary.
Playing as Aurora, a fairy, you'll find yourself in the intriguing world of Lemuria on a journey home, and on a quest to ultimately defeat the wicked 'Black Queen.' Aurora will be accompanied by Igniculus, a small flame that follows you around where ever you go to provide illumination and assistance while fighting off brutal and heinous enemies.
The most immediately striking aspect of Child of Light is the game's visuals. Making full use of the UbiArt Framework (the game engine powering Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends), the technology behind Child of Light has allowed the game's artists to create amazingly detailed and painterly illustrations to use as the game's graphics, with the goal of playing a game using what would usually only be concept art.
Child of Light – Debut Screenshots
Once you dig a little deeper into the game, you'll discover that Child of Light has heavy Japanese Role-Playing Game (JRPG) influences, from the structure of the story to the way battles play out in turn-based fashion, with what sounds like a very innovative way of handling combat.
While playing, Igniculus the flame cane even be controlled by a second player to help the primary player (controlling Aurora) with exploration and support in a fight.
Child of Light is due out in 2014 across PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One – watch the debut trailer below to see the painterly concept art visuals come to life, and read over the details we gleaned during a GDC 2013 talk hosted by the project lead, Patrick Plourde:

text: It was probably early in 1976 or late in '75 when John Drew Barrymore dropped a script by my house, The Silent Flute, A Martial Arts Fantasy, telling me to read it over the weekend and get it right back to him, so he could sneak it back into James Coburn's library without him finding out that he'd sneaked it out. "And," he said, "You can't tell anyone you've seen it." I didn't understand the need for secrecy, but John Drew is a strange and secretive person. I read it, and immediately decided this movie absolutely had to be made. It could be the essential martial arts movie, and a living legacy for Bruce Lee. Read the rest of this entry »

-- more than three billion dollars -- spent on video advertising on the Internet.
This year adapt TV connect advertisers -- online sites and we've got the CEO and co-founder Amir Ashkenazi here.
We got -- -- the FaceBook stuff let's start with that.
FaceBook goes public on Friday are you gonna buy the stock personally.
Dennis definitive and asked this question FaceBook is one -- billion dollar company because they're best positioned to connect brand advertisers with consumers.
Vandalism even quickly to the Internet and I think -- -- But will develop those products that run -- need to minute to reach audience -- tell you that would be a yes you have let me -- but the -- for a few years now of video online advertising three million dollars.
Global advertising all kinds 600 billion why is -- so small what's the big obstacle we are in the middle of two very powerful -- revolutions.
One of them is the move from connected brought from broadcast TV to connected right.
Online video and the second one is moving -- Emanuel inefficient process to automated problematic -- Of big events which is where you -- and this is exactly what we do will provide the platform and the -- place for brand advertisers to reach on audience -- vetoed it may be emir of mechanics isn't the only obstacle.
It seems like what I come online to a site and I see a video -- a 32 pre roll I just zap away if they're more resistance to a video -- online -- -- -- on television.
I don't think that's there is more resistance on -- I think consumers view TV and connected devices in the same way do you want to consume folks' business he has regardless of devices and run advertisers want to reach consumers regardless of devices.
So we're not talking about -- three billion dollar industry we're talking about 73 billion dollar industry when you combined TV and video and yet what happened on line and I do see a video that somehow I feel like.
A video -- online should be -- different.
Asked -- different from television.
You seem to think instead they can all be interchangeable no I think that.
You'll see advertisers' thinking more and more advantage of the capabilities of online video that includes the the targeting that includes the interactivity that you can get.
Online currency what we see is that 60% of the advertisers simply expand their TV budgets into -- line.
That is gonna increase over time they're gonna do it was larger and larger share of digital pens and take more advantage of those another hurdle the cell phone everything's going mobile does that make video ads works I don't wanna see a bit video -- Wilson and we think mobile -- is exactly the next phase in the TV resolution online video made its content available.

Can someone provide (or point me to) a summary of back office processing nuances specific to FX trading? For example, I know that there are several FX-specific risks that must be managed. They include transaction risk, translation risk, and short- and long-term exposure risks. GAAP and IFRS have published guidelines for fund and tax accounting for FX instruments. What other FX-specific nuanced processing challenges exist within the various back office functions including pricing, risk management, fund and tax accounting, clearance, settlement, custody, cash management, collateral management, and financial reporting?

DOLE Very Veggie Blend should be kept refrigerated at home in its original bag. The bag is made of specially designed film to keep the salad fresh. Store the salad in the refrigerator crisper or drawer. Store leftovers in the original bag, tightly closed, in the refrigerator.
Purchase DOLE Very Veggie Blend in the refrigerated area of the supermarket's produce section. If salads are not kept refrigerated, product quality will be affected. On the front of each package, the salad is stamped with an "ENJOY BY" date that should give you at least a few days to store after purchased. The salad is packaged in a see-through bag.

Do not purchase salads with a considerable number of brown-edged lettuce pieces or if the lettuce appears excessively wet.
DOLE Very Veggie Blend is triple washed and ready-to-eat. As a result, it is not necessary to wash the salad prior to eating. Nevertheless, rinsing your salad again will not damage the lettuce in any way.

Tycho Brahe wore an excellent mustache, but his namesake doesn't make the sort of music I associate with robust facial hair. Tycho, a.k.a. San Francisco producer Scott Hansen, trades in atmospheric electronic tracks, the kind fit for soundtracking footage of space. (You know, that vast, barely explored expanse beyond our atmosphere — the one Brahe charted so accurately all those centuries ago.) For such airy stuff, it's surprisingly gripping.

With all due respect, it's very difficult to tell if this is a review of a "The Deep Throat Sex Scandal" or the author's op-ed on his distaste for adult entertainment/sex industry topics.
And frankly, it is mind-boggling that a writer that works for a subsidiary of Village Voice Media should be criticizing a challenging perspective on free speech, when the Village Voice has been a longtime advocate for 1st Amendment rights. Remember Backpage(.)com??? Voice Media has had to defend the right to post classified ads that some say promoting sex trafficking, but it's okay to further vilify the legal adult entertainment industry with snarky news stories like this?
Whether this author likes it or not, pornography has existed since the dawn of civilization in some form or another. There is no doubt that the play's author, David Bertolino, is pro-free speech AND pornography; thank God that he has free speech protection to be able to write plays on topics that interest him. There are still plenty of place on earth were a story like this could not be told.
"The Deep Throat Sex Scandal" is a snapshot of an important event, in the history of a significant social phenomena which is modern pornography. Whether you like it or not, it's a time and part of history that deserves to be documented. For those of us that actually remember the 70s and how different the political climate was then; the social mores; the innocence of that time... people seemed a lot less judgmental than they are now. Back then, the Village Voice was a champion of 1st Amendment issues.
If the story's author didn't like the play, then fair enough. But shame on this writer for confusing his own opinions on pornography with what should have been opinions on the play itself.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recommended against building a road through Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, because it would have too great an impact on the wilderness, including habitat for 98% of the world's Pacific black brant, a type of waterfowl popular with both birders and hunters. Grizzly bear, caribou, salmon, shorebirds and other waterbirds would also be affected by the road, which would have connected Cold Bay and King Cove.
The refuge lies between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean at the extreme tip of the Alaska Peninsula and is more than 500 square miles in size, greater than Los Angeles.
The decision is an example of the National Environmental Policy Act in action. It requires government agencies to study the environmental impacts of projects, as well as alternatives, before a decision is made about whether they should be undertaken. In this case, the Fish and Wildlife Service's study indicated that taking no action--always an alternative--was the best choice.

Big Financial Firms Keep Their Jets
Filed under: Wings
The car companies may have gotten in trouble for their corporate jets, but as the AP reports, private jets are still flying for Wall Street's firms. They report that six financial firms that received billions in bailout dollars haven't sold off their jets. In fact they are still in use to carry executives to company events and sometimes personal trips. In many of these cases, the CEO is required to use a private jet for security reasons. AIG has seven planes but a spokesman reports they are being used sparingly. The company sold two jets earlier this year and is selling or canceling orders for four others. Citigroup's aircraft are being used a by a few executives but the execs are "encouraged to fly commercial." Morgan Stanley has two jets. JP Morgan owns four Gulfstream jets including a a 2007 ultra-long range flagship G550 model, a plane that sells for around $47.5 million. Bank of America has nine planes including four Gulfstreams. Wells Fargo owns a single jet that is strictly for business use.
While SEC rules require that publicly held companies disclose executives' personal use of corporate aircraft, the line between personal use and business use can often be hard to determine. Overall, companies are cutting back on the use of the jets for any reason that can seem frivolous. They haven't had to travel to Washington to beg for money yet but if they do, likely they'll leave the fleet at home.
If you are shopping for a jet, the picture above is from a used Gulfstream GIV-SP listed at $25.95 million.

Nobody since Newton has been able to use geometrical methods to the same extent for the like purposes; and as we read the Principia we feel as when we are in an ancient armoury where the weapons are of gigantic size; and as we look at them we marvel what manner of man he was who could use as a weapon what we can scarcely lift as a burden.
