FDR's 4 freedoms

Samantha Power's memoir is amazing in so many ways. Right now I'm reading about her and Obama's response to the Ebola outbreak. Seems quite different than our current president. Anyway, she mentioned FDR's 4 freedoms. I was not familiar with that. Norman Rockwell has 4 famous painting demonstrating those 4 freedoms. I'm learning so much from this book about how government works, and the history of America and the world.

Here are some things I like about The Education of an Idealist:

A woman breast feeding while doing important things.
The fierce desire to preserve human life.
The willingness to do whatever: be a journalist, learn a language, go to law school, work on a campaign, move all over the USA, juggle marriage and family, to learn how to talk in a confirmation hearing, learning how to talk to journalists.
She discusses the impact of various photos on her image, and how others would skew her image and words to suit their own purposes.
She discussed her learning process based on her personality.
She loves sports.
We get to see the inner workings of the US government from many different angles.
Learned about genocides around the world.
Her commitment to good consequences and what works.
Her willingness to look for all kinds of solutions to difficult problems.
Her hard work and the fact that often it was close to futile.
Quixotic appreciations but no loss of purpose.
The largeness of her perspectives.
Her travels in the world.
Her impressions of famous people.
She works hard to get complicated ideas expressed well.
She discusses difficult decisions in the context of her family.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

Margaret Fuller by Megan Marshall

I talk about Fuller, and nobody has ever heard of her. I find that quite shocking. Of course it took me to my 53rd year. Margaret Fuller  (Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli) (1810 – 1850) was a Concord Transcendentalist with Thoreau, Emmerson, Hawthorne and father Alcott and Louisa May Alcott. She wrote a travel book when she traveled around the Great Lakes, and wrote a book on women . She was an editor of a New York newspaper, and the Transcendental organ Dial. She went off to Italy where she was a war correspondent, had a child, and died tragically within sight of the beach off Fire Island, when the lost ship broke upon a sand dune during a hurricane. Thoreau went and searched the beach for her body and found a button. Lost is her book on the war in Rome. Megan Marshall  won the Pulitzer for her biography of Fuller. She has written biographies on the Peabody Sisters and Elizabeth Bishop, the last whom she took classes with. Such a good writer, I want to read her other biographies...
