When Jean Becker closed up President Bush's Houston office in 2019 after his death, she told the Houston Chronicle, “What a pleasure. What a journey.” In The Man I Knew, the former chief of staff to President George H. W. Bush shares an intimate look into the post-presidency of one of America's most influential one-term presidents. Becker served as Bush 41's chief of staff for nearly 25 years, handling monumental tasks like the opening of the George Bush Presidential Library in 1997 and overseeing the former president's state funeral in 2018. From the perspective of one of the president's closest confidantes, who was at his side when he died, The Man I Knew offers a behind-the-scenes look into how President Bush continued to lead a life of service after losing the 1992 election – going on to see his own son become president after him and serving as a mentor to Presidents Clinton and Obama. Jean Becker was chief of staff for President George H. W. Bush from 1994 until his death in 2018. In 1999, Becker took a leave of absence to focus on editing and research for the memoir, All the Best, George Bush. Becker also served as deputy press secretary to First Lady Barbara Bush (1989-1992), with whom she worked on Barbara Bush, A Memoir. Becker is a former journalist and a member of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. She holds bachelor's degrees in political science and journalism from the University of Missouri.

Background: Patrick MacLeamy, FAIA, worked his way up from junior designer to CEO of HOK, a global architecture, engineering, and planning firm, where he worked for 50 years. Since 1955, HOK has designed hundreds of major projects including the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in DC, Apple’s first major campus in Cupertino, the George Bush Presidential Library in Texas, Orioles Baseball Park in Baltimore, the expansion of Saarinen's Dulles Airport, the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport, DFW Airport in Dallas and re-imagined Laguardia Airport. A self-taught executive, MacLeamy loved designing a firm just as much as he did designing buildings. He is best known in the design industry as the creator of the “MacLeamy Curve,” which advocates front-loading effort during the design process to catch errors early. A pioneer in leveraging technology to support design quality, he is currently chairman of buildingSMART International, where he pushes tirelessly for the global implementation of building information modeling (BIM). He is also an author. His new book - Designing a World Class Architecture Firm: The People, Stories and Strategies Behind HOK, was just released by Wiley and is now widely available.

Today you’ll meet two CEO’s of HOK, one of the most successful architecture firms in the world, past CEO Patrick MacLeamy and current CEO Bill Hellmuth.  Every architecture student knows HOK, and it’s one of the largest design firms in the US with 1800 team members.  Since 1955, HOK has designed hundreds of major projects like the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in DC, Apple’s first major campus in Cupertino, the George Bush Presidential Library in Texas, Orioles Baseball Park in Baltimore, the expansion of Saarinen's Dulles Airport, the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport, DFW Airport in Dallas, and last but not least, the renovation of Joe Biden’s least favorite airport, LaGuardia.  Wrapping up, a few minutes with architect Frank Harmon, reading from his book Native Places.

Emma Shortis and Chloe Ward are back, for a nostalgic but-not-uncritical take on the 1990s and what it means for today.

They start with the American political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s famous prediction of the ‘end of history’ and liberal triumph, before looking at the Cold War and its – surprising – peaceful end, and the much more cautious predictions about the future made by the historian Eric Hobsbawm.Links and referencesFrancis Fukuyama, ‘The End of History’, The National Interest, Summer 1989, 3-18.Louis Menand, ‘Francis Fukuyama Postpones the End of History’, New Yorker, 27 August 2018.Francis Fukuyama, ‘The Thing That Determines a Country’s Resistance to the Coronavirus’, The Atlantic, 30 March 2020.Eric Hobsbawm, The Age of Extremes: 1914-1991, Hachette, 2020.The Late Show – Interview with Eric Hobsbawm‘Eric Hobsbawm: A Life in Quotes’, Guardian, 1 October 2012.Damien Cave, ‘Vanquish the Virus?
