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

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...

Gravity's Rainbow Notes Franz Pokler

From pp 397-433: Franz Pokler , a German rocket scientist. He is marginally associated with early attempts to develop rockets in the 1920's. During the war, Weissmann controls Pokler, giving him routine assignments and keeping him in line by allowing him yearly visits from a girl who he says is Pokler's daughter. The girl spends the rest of the year in a concentration camp, and Weissmann's implied threat is that she will be killed if Pokler fails to cooperate with Weissmann's scheme. Weissmann's purpose is to use Pokler to make one small part for the A4 rocket. In the end, having performed his task, Pokler is released; Slothrop meets him living quietly in the ruins of a children's village after the end of the war. His daughter also survives.
