Truman's "crony-like" approach led to the appointment of Chief Prosecutor Joseph Keenan, who was incompetent and struggled with alcoholism. Keenan was far inferior to Nuremberg's Robert Jackson. The trial transcript reached 50,000 pages over two and a half years. Chief Judge Sir William Webb was overly cranky and seemed to favor the prosecution, alienating the defense and other judges.

Since its launch in 2023, Appointment Schedule has gradually replaced the legacy scheduling workflow in athenaOne. Appointment Schedule offers more in-depth visibility to a provider or department's schedule as well as open or booked slots, and it allows users to view the calendar and start booking without first selecting a patient. As of July, over 90% of athenaOne practices who scheduled an appointment did so with the new Appointment Schedule workflow. By the end of 2025, two-thirds of organizations will have fully migrated to the new Appointment Schedule workflow. Want some tips and tricks on transitioning to the new Appointment Schedule workflow from an organization that has been with us throughout the journey?

Alyson Doty and Shanae Adams, Violence Prevention Educators at the Phoenix Center at Auraria, discuss the importance of de-stigmatizing sex talk and the impact of societal taboos on self-disclosure. Through a reference to a "New Girl" clip where Jess, the main character of the show, struggles to say "penis," they highlight societal issues around discussing body part names. They emphasize that children often find it easier to use correct anatomical terms until influenced by negative associations or by being taught to use euphemisms. They discuss the significance of teaching children about their bodies and consent from a young age. Alyson and Shanae then shift to reflect on the impact of social media algorithms on language and the need for media literacy. The importance of using accurate terminology to prevent sexual assault and promote healthy sexual education is stressed all throughout the podcast as they examine the need to demystify the terminology used when discussing sex and sexual assault.

Marketing effectiveness: How we all strive to achieve it. In today’s episode, two very distinctive takes on successful work, from the verticals and business objectives in play, to audience targeting, messaging and channels used – traditional media through to gaming streaming – are in the spotlight. And both landed their brand leaders and agencies coveted Gold Effies at this year’s Advertising Council Australia Awards. Scoring two Gold gongs was Australian Red Cross Lifeblood and Clemenger BBDO for ‘Lifeblood Blood Supply: How a media first, elevated blood donation into a national news story, saving up to 28,848 lives’ . The pair leveraged a well-established idea – the emergency warning system and media ticker – plus a partnership with the Seven Network to create a mechanism showing the blood supply in a real-time way via the nightly news bulletin, with state-based tailoring, supported through TVCs, integrations with AFL broadcasts and ambassadors and digital capabilities. Lifeblood CMO, Jeremy Weiss says the “behaviour changing” campaign led to a 120% boost in blood donation appointments, along with new donor registrations signing up, were tentpole results. As each new donor saves up to three lives with their first donation, they more than quadrupled the number of intended lives saved. In contrast, Nestle Australia and VML Australia were honoured with their Gold Effie for their work on extending the iconic ‘Have a break, have a Kitkat’ creative platform into the edgier, decidedly younger media platform, Twitch and streaming. The aim of the ‘Break Chair’ was to connect with Gen Zers aged 18-27, 80% of which engage in gaming – many doing it often. Forging that sense of connection, emotion and engagement on the consumer’s terms played a big part here. The “boundary pushing” mix of tapping influencers, livestreaming, a killer consumer insight on needing regular breaks, and an already distinctive creative platform further compounded impact and results including brand and penetration gains to sales lift, says Nestle head of marketing confectionery, Shannon Wright. Joined by Alison Tilling, chief strategy officer, VML Australia, and Frank Curcio, national head of product, Clemenger BBDO, our guests unpack their work and the surprising similarities behind their distinctively different but seriously impactful work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason packs a punch from start to finish. John Rush kicks things off with Dave from Veteran Windows and Doors (https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com), pulling back the curtain on the truth about home efficiency. Are your “new” windows really saving you money, or are they quietly draining your wallet? Dave exposes what builders and sales reps don't tell you — from energy codes to hidden heat loss — and how to truly get the quality you pay for. Then, John pivots from home upgrades to political reality. What really caused Colorado's GOP setbacks, and who's to blame? With his trademark boldness, he calls out hypocrisy, “RINO Watch” drama, and warns that real change demands strategy, not outrage. Finally, Patrick Mueller from Bella Advisors (https://bellaadvisors.com) joins to dissect government spending, economic turbulence, and the explosive rise of AI. Could automation reshape entire industries — or even wipe out white-collar jobs? From Washington's gridlock to America's changing workforce, John and Patrick lay it all out. It's one hour of sharp insight, political truth, and real-world solutions. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with two powerful callers — Wayne from Castle Rock, a veteran real estate broker, and Marty, whose earlier comments sparked debate about wealth, sacrifice, and homeownership. John Rush takes their insights head-on: are Americans struggling to buy homes, or just refusing to start small and build their way up? Together, John and Wayne unpack why expectations — not economics — are often the real obstacle to financial freedom. From there, John dismantles the fear of an impending housing crash, pointing to $122 trillion in generational wealth and America's still-strong 65% homeownership rate. The conversation shifts with Richard Rush to Colorado sports, where the Broncos, Nuggets, and Avalanche all make headlines. The hour finishes at full throttle with a car review of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla — a turbocharged hatchback that proves small can be mighty. It's one hour of grit, growth, and gasoline-fueled insight you won't want to miss. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason is a rollercoaster of politics, economics, and controversy. John Rush kicks things off with Jim Pfaff from the Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com), breaking down the latest government shutdown deal — and for once, Republicans didn't back down. Is this the start of real conservative momentum, or just a brief victory before the next battle? From Donald Trump's influence to Jerome Powell's upcoming exit at the Fed, Jim and John explore how leadership and timing could make or break the economy — and the 2026 election. Then, John shifts gears from Capitol Hill to the shop floor with a story making national headlines: the pardon of diesel mechanic Troy Lake. Sent to prison for removing emissions devices from trucks, Lake's case sparks a fiery debate. Has the government gone too far in punishing blue-collar Americans? Or was justice finally served? With John's trademark mix of insight and outrage, this hour dives deep into freedom, overreach, and the fight for common sense — from D.C. power struggles to the diesel garage. Don't miss the episode that proves why https://RushToReason.com is where truth meets traction.
8. The Final Negotiations and Hitler's Appointment. Tim Ryback discusses how on January 30, 1933, Hitler required the support of media magnate Alfred Hugenberg (40 seats) to achieve the coalition necessary for Hindenburg to appoint him Chancellor. Hugenberg, who sought to be Minister of Economics, desperately opposed Hitler's primary demand: holding new Reichstag elections. Hugenberg knew elections would cost him his vital seats. After holding out until the final moment in a dramatic crisis outside Hindenburg's office, he was cornered and reluctantly agreed. Hindenburg formally appointed Hitler Chancellor at 9:40 AM. Hugenberg subsequently noted he had made "the biggest mistake of his life." Within 18 months, key antagonists Schleicher, Strasser, and Röhm were murdered. 1933 Retry

A listener named Michael asks Father Dave about finding time to go to Confession. "My parish only offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturdays 30 minutes before Mass. This one time makes it very difficult [for me] to go to Confession. In fact, I've been avoiding it due to the schedule," Michael begins. "Is it rare or commonplace to ask a priest for a private confession? We have two priests for 3,500 families so they are super busy; I feel guilty adding to their work load. All the parishes in my diocese have similar schedules."
