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.

Silo

This is a dark show that I'm reluctant to watch. Slow burn with reveals along the way. Lots of padding and important small details you have to pay attention to, which sometimes I don't because I'm looking at my phone. The TV competes with the phone. Either I'm playing chess, or another game, or surfing for news about my favorite soccer team NYCFC. They're supposed to sign some new players and can register them tomorrow, but the team usually doesn't do things in a timely way, they're messy.  The first few episodes of the 10 episode first season are about the sherif and his wife, played by Rashid Jones .  Then there's like a buffer action episode where the generator almost goes kaput. Then it becomes Longmire, a woman sheriff who doesn't know the protocols and rules, and doesn't care, she just wants truth and answers.  Everyone lives in the Silo, it's huge and mysterious and you can't have relics, things from the past, that might clue you i...

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

movie versus book

I'm watching the movie a second time, and I'm halfway through the book. Among the movie's differences from the book. Sortilege starts off narrating. The movie doesn't have the school bell for the phone either, just a regular ring. It's really weird the way Doc shouts when he sees the photo of Amethyst as a baby. I guess it's to dramatize the negative impact of being pregnant and using, but the child we see looks pretty healthy. The child doesn't huff out because they're boring like she did in the book.  Superficially The Big Lebowski and Inherent Vice are similar but it's a completely different style of narrative. The Coen brothers are amazing, they have a very witty movie that I have loved for a long time. Pynchon is a whole other realm of fiction, and this conversion is fairly faithful, taking out the best lines and making it more compact. The audio book is 15 hours, the movie is 2 hours. Anyway, I like the different movies for different reasons. T...
