Podcasts about jennet conant

Jennet Conant returns to the podcast with her latest work, a spirited portrait of twentieth-century war correspondent Maggie Higgins and her tenacious fight to the top in a male-dominated profession.

Jennet Conant is the New York Times best-selling author of Tuxedo Park, 109 East Palace, The Irregulars, The Great Secret, and the critically acclaimed Man of the Hour. She returns to Someone Talked! to discuss her latest work Fierce Ambition: The Life and Legend of War Correspondent Maggie Higgins.

[REBROADCAST FROM November 30, 2023] A new biography captures the life of groundbreaking New York Herald Tribune reporter Maggie Higgins, who rose to prominence after her reporting on the liberation of Dachau following World War II. Her coverage of the Korean War won her a Pulitzer Prize, but her reputation as a journalist was often questioned by men in power who wondered if she was using her good looks to get the scoop. Author Jennet Conant joins us to discuss her new book, Fierce Ambition: The Life and Legend of War Correspondent Maggie Higgins.

Today's episode focuses on two books about legendary journalists, the business of reporting and the state of the industry today. First, NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Jennet Conant about Fierce Ambition, a biography of war correspondent Maggie Higgins – the first woman to win a Pulitzer for foreign correspondence, who also resented being defined by her gender. Then, NPR's Scott Simon asks The New Yorker's Calvin Trillin about The Lede, an introspection into the realities of being a reporter, the careers of Edna Buchanan and R.W. "Johnny" Apple, and so much more.

James Scott had a reputation for wreaking havoc. As a teen, he burned down an abandoned elementary school. A few years later, he set fire to an apartment complex and a garage. But by 1993, he seemed to have settled down. He was married and out of prison, working at Burger King. Then came the Great Flood of 1993. That summer, James Scott did what many other local residents did – he helped reinforce levees along the Mississippi River. Later, when one broke, people were certain that James was the one to blame.  Then Kristin tells us about a total shitbag named Alex Kelly. Alex grew up privileged. He was an undefeated wrestler, a football player, and an honor roll student. At a party one night in 1986, he raped a fellow student. A few nights later, he raped another teen. Investigators soon arrested Alex, but he wasn't accustomed to facing consequences. When it came time for Alex to face trial, he was nowhere to be found. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.

In such spirit was this book written.[24:38] The essence of civilization is the transmission of the findings of each generation to the next.[29:00] This is not a call for optimism, it is a call for determination.[31:12] It is pleasant to turn to situations where conservatism or lethargy were overcome by farseeing, energetic individuals.[31:34] People are really a power law and that the best ones can change everything. —Sam Hinkie[33:46] There should never be, throughout an organization, any doubt as to where authority for making decisions resides, or any doubt that they will be promptly made.[34:32] You can drive great people by making the speed of decision making really slow. Why would great people stay in an organization where they can't get things done? They look around after a while, and they're, like, "Look, I love the mission, but I can't get my job done because our speed of decision making is too slow." — Invent and Wander: The Collected Writings of Jeff Bezos by Jeff Bezos and Walter Isaacson.(Founders #155)[38:36] Rigid lines of authority do not produce the best innovations.[38:42] Research projects flowered in pockets all around the company, many of them without Steve's blessing or even awareness.They'd come to Steve's attention only if one of his key managers decided that the project or technology showed real potential.In that case, Steve would check it out, and the information he'd glean would go into the learning machine that was his brain. Sometimes that's where it would sit, and nothing would happen. Sometimes, on the other hand, he'd concoct a way to combine it with something else he'd seen, or perhaps to twist it in a way to benefit an entirely different project altogether.This was one of his great talents, the ability to synthesize separate developments and technologies into something previously unimaginable. —Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli (Founders #265)[40:56] He was so industrious that he became a positive annoyance to others who felt less inclined to work.  —Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print, and Power by James McGrath Morris.

(Founders #138)[48:21] Difficulties are often encountered in bringing an invention into production and use.[48:47] An invention has some of the characteristics of a poem.It is said that a poet may derive real joy out of making a poem, even if it is never published, even if he does not recite it to his friends, even if it is not a very good poem.No doubt, one has to be a poet to understand this.In the same way, an inventor can derive real satisfaction out of making an invention, even if he never expects to make a nickel out of it, even if he knows it is a bit foolish, provided he feels it involves ingenuity and insight.An inventor invents because he cannot help it, and also because he gets quiet fun out of doing so.Sometimes he even makes money at it, but not by himself. One has to be an inventor to understand this.One evening in Dayton, I dined alone with Orville Wright.During a long evening, we discussed inventions we had made that had never amounted to anything. He took me up to the attic and showed me models of various weird gadgets.I had plenty of similar efforts to tell him about, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.Neither of us would have thus spilled things except to a fellow practitioner, one who had enjoyed the elation of creation and who knew that such elation is, to a true devotee, independent of practical results.So it is also, I understand, with poets.[51:28] Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[52:21] When picking an industry to enter, my favorite rule of thumb is this: Pick an industry where the founders of the industry—the founders of the important companies in the industry—are still alive and actively involved. — The Pmarca Blog Archive Ebook by Marc Andreessen. (Founders #50)[57:18] If a company operates only under patents it owns, and infringes on no others, its monopoly should not be disturbed, and the courts so hold. An excellent example is Polaroid Corporation. Founded by Edwin Land, one of the most ingenious men I ever knew (and also one of the wisest), it has grown and prospered because of his inventions and those of his team.[1:00:46] I came to the realization that they knew more about the subject than I did. In some ways, this was not strange. They were concentrating on it and I was getting involved in other things.[1:01:31] P.T. Barnum: An American Life by Robert Wilson.

December 2, 1943. World War II is raging throughout Europe, but in the Allied port city of Bari, Italy, things have remained relatively quiet. The Allies are offloading tanks, guns and other equipment when on this night, the Nazis attack. They bomb the port, killing 2,000 soldiers and civilians, and sinking 28 Allied ships. One of those ships holds a secret cargo, a chemical weapon that leaks into the harbor where soldiers are swimming for their lives. What happened when those soldiers were exposed to this deadly toxin? And how did the investigation of this incident revolutionize the way we treat cancer?

He was too complex to categorize—financier, philanthropist, society figure, physicist, inventor, dilettante—a contradiction in terms. He rose to become one of the most powerful figures in banking in the 1920s. The smile was a velvet glove covering his iron determination to get underway without any lost motion. He would dedicate himself to overcoming Germany’s scientific advantage. He had amassed a substantial fortune, which allowed him to act as a patron.Loomis was a bit stiff, with the bearing of a four-star general in civilian clothes. He was strong and decisive. He was enthusiastic about American know-how and was not inclined to sit idly by until the miliary finally determined it was time to take action—particularly if just catching up with the Germans proved to be a monumental task. He carried himself with composure, but his politeness was merely a habit; he was preoccupied. When duty called he helped reinvent modern warfare. He became an enthusiastic champion of the new armored tanks. He became such an expert on tank construction, he built a scaled-down model tank in his garage in order to see if he could make further improvements in the design. When his cousin came to visit, Loomis rolled into the rail station in his light armored tank to meet the train, kicking up dust and causing quite a scene. Loomis would later maintain that everybody on the Street knew the crash was coming, the only difference was that he and Thorne refused to bank on its being inevitably delayed. After the shock of the sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine in 1915, Thomas Edison said that Americans were “as clever at mechanics as any people in the world” and could defeat any “engine of destruction.:” Edison had advocated for preparedness without provocation, and to Loomis, it seemed as wise a course in the present as it had been then. For the next four years, he would drive himself and his band of physicists almost without break to develop the all-important radar warning systems based on the magnetron.He drew a striking parallel between the present international situation and the financial situation prior to the crash. He said that now people are asking him when we will enter the war just as in 1928 his friends were asking him when the stock market crash was coming. He said that in both cases such a question is quite beside the point. He said that once a person admitted a stock market crash was coming a prudent individual will immediately get out fo the stock market and not consider when the crash is coming and thereby try to hang on and make some more profits. Likewise, at the present time it is of secondary importance when we will get in; of first importance is the admission that we are going to get in, and our action accordingly should be that of preparing just as though we were actually in the war! Loomis had one important characteristic. His ability to concentrate completely on the chief objective, even at the cost of neglecting matters that appear to other people to be of equal importance. ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Staden är en motsägelsefull skapelse. Så hemma och ändå alltid främmande. Författaren Dimitris Alevras reflekterar över våra föreställningar om staden och gränserna som både bygger upp och utestänger. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Staden är en märkvärdig plats. Genom sin koncentration av människor och genom sin artificiella karaktär har den en unik inverkan på både det geografiska och det kulturella landskapet. Staden är det konkreta undanträngandet av naturen till fördel för människan och det mänskliga. Den utgör det största och mest levande monumentet över människans förmåga. Därför besitter också alla städer en sorts kraft attraherande eller bortstötande som inte uppstår ur något konkret hot eller löfte utan skapas genom kombinationen av stadens onaturlighet och dess mänsklighet. Onaturlig därför att den är konstruerad. Mänsklig därför att dess funktion är att tillfredsställa oss, att befria oss från det oönskade och föra oss närmare det mer önskvärda. Dessa två aspekter av staden funktionen och konstruktionen säger något väsentligt. Ta till exempel operahuset i Sydney, en enskild byggnad som många med enkelhet kan framkalla för sitt inre. Betänk först dess funktion en plats där människor samlas för att ta del av andra människors musikaliska uttryck. Betänk sedan dess konstruktion en enorm asymmetrisk figur som från en vinkel liknar en rad vita fenor som skjuter upp ur marken, och från en annan mer påminner om halvt nedsjunkna kupor på väg att omsluta varandra i mörker. I det första fallet har vi att göra med ett konkret syfte. Vi förstår funktionen och vet ungefär vad vi kan förvänta oss. Huruvida man lockas av det eller inte kan vara en fråga om behov och personliga preferenser. Men när det kommer till byggnadens konstruktion är det snarare genom känslan det visuella intrycket ger som vi påverkas. Här blir det ogripbara det mest framträdande: formerna som former, och inte minst den oundvikliga kontrasten till det av naturen skapade. En enskild byggnad är inte svår att betrakta på detta vis ofta har den en eller ett fåtal huvudsakliga funktioner, inte sällan uppenbara för en betraktare. Men med en hel stad i blickfånget bestående av hundratals, tusentals byggnader händer något. Konstruktionens effekt förstärks i och med att mångfalden och storleken ökar, samtidigt som funktionen blir svårare att urskilja. På så vis blir stadens utomvärldsliga karaktär mer framträdande ju större den är, samtidigt som vi aldrig blir helt alienerade inför den. Något bekant finns där alltid det mänskliga i det onaturliga. Det framhålls ibland att de flesta som tar sitt liv genom att hoppa från en bro gör det från den sidan av bron som är vänd mot staden. Västerbron i Stockholm är en av flera platser där detta bekräftas om och om igen. I en handbok för personer som arbetar med förhandling i krissituationer kan man läsa att rädslan för att dö ensam, tillsammans med önskan att andra ska se hur mycket man lider, kan förklara varför så många hoppar från en bro som vetter mot staden, fullt synlig för alla. I en sista desperat vädjan vänder man sig mot staden. Man ser staden, och staden ser en. En oundviklig aspekt av stadens konstruktion är dess gränser. Någonstans börjar bebyggelsen, någonstans slutar den. Stadens här står mot det omgivande där. I Jesper Svenbros text Mjölet och kritan Berättelsen om Alexandrias grundläggning är denna gränsdragning i centrum. Svenbro skriver: När platsen för den framtida staden har valts ut av Alexander någon gång alldeles i början av år 331 f.Kr., markerar man sträckningen av stadens ringmur på marken [] I de flesta versionerna markerar arkitekterna stadsmurens sträckning [...] med hjälp av mjöl, vilket får ersätta den krita som normalt används i dylika sammanhang. Att man väljer just mjöl och inte krita har i sig en särskild symbolisk betydelse. Svenbro skriver: Enligt Plutarkos utgör nämligen mjölet ett gränsstadium halvvägs mellan det levande sädesaxet och det gräddade, ätliga brödet; mellan det 'råa' och det 'bakade'; på visst sätt alltså mellan 'natur' och 'civilisation'. Berättelsen fortsätter: Rätt vad det är, läser vi, kommer ett stort antal fåglar och äter upp mjölet med vilket Alexander låtit avgränsa sin stads område, något som till en början gör härskaren förbluffad och orolig [...] Orsaken till denna oro är uppenbar: ett sådant intermezzo tycks förebåda stadens försvinnande, utplånandet av dess murar och gräns, den gräns förutan vilken den ju inte kan existera. Vad vi här plötsligt ställs inför är stadens simultana födelse och undergång. Ett samband mellan gränsen i sig och de föreställningarna som görs om platsen framträder: gränsen försvinner och i samma stund uppstår en föreställning om att även den framtida staden kommer att försvinna. För de närvarande, med sina blickar riktade mot de halvt utsuddade linjerna av mjöl på marken, har Alexandria i ett slag grundats, byggts upp och förgjorts. ... det verkliga Los Alamos ersätts med något annat. Det är inte Aten som åberopas, utan dess själ. Det är idén om den ideala republiken. En mer sentida stad för vilken detta samband mellan manifesterade gränser och gemensamma föreställningar spelat en avgörande roll är Los Alamos i New Mexiko, grundad 1942. Los Alamos är dessutom en stad för vilken funktionen ursprungligen var allt. Mer specifikt en funktion: att producera världens första atombomb. Stadens konstruktion var i alla avseenden underkastad detta övergripande syfte, liksom reducerad till en rent praktisk aspekt av funktionen, och tillskrevs inte något större värde i sig. Los Alamos var därtill en stad som i princip saknade ekonomiska begränsningar. Vad än forskarna med Robert Oppenheimer i spetsen behövde, fick de. Det gällde allt från teknologisk utrustning och laboratorier, till mer personal, fler bostäder, vägar och vardaglig service. För att framställa det kärnbränsle bomben skulle laddas med anlades tre nya reaktoranläggningar som sammanlagt sysselsatte över fyrtio tusen personer. Även på dessa platser växte samhällen fram ur ingenting, konstruerade både som förlängningar av Los Alamos och som enskilda, avskärmade entiteter. Ur det perspektivet var Los Alamos en gränslös stad, samtidigt som dess faktiska gränser var högst påtagliga och strikt bevakade. Ingen utan tillstånd fick komma in, eller ens komma i närheten av platsen. Ingen kunskap om vad som försiggick där fick göras känd. Dessa ovanliga omständigheter bidrog till att skapa en särskild atmosfär bland invånarna. Högst medvetna om Los Alamos icke-existens fick deras här, där de befanns sig, också karaktären av ett avlägset där. Den brittiska fysikern James Tuck beskrev det som en gyllene tid. Han vittnar om hur han i Los Alamos fann det antika Atens själ, den ideala republiken. Enligt vissa var staden som en ö i himlen, enligt andra ett Shangri-La. Det intressanta med dessa beskrivningar är att det verkliga Los Alamos ersätts med något annat. Det är inte Aten som åberopas, utan dess själ. Det är idén om den ideala republiken. Och det är det fiktiva paradiset Shangri-La. Los Alamos konkreta här görs till ett symboliskt där. Kraften i den handlingen ska inte underskattas. Grundarna av Alexandria gjorde det inte. Valet att använda just mjöl för att markera gränserna var, skriver Svenbro, i själva verket ingen slump, och hade det specifika syftet att frammana bilden av Alexandrias framtida blomstring. Så uppstår staden ur våra föreställningar om den, och så formas våra föreställningar av stadens gränser och konstruktion av dess faktiska här. För olika människor, i olika tider, ser denna ömsesidiga skapelseakt olika ut, men dess närvaro är ständig. Det finns inget här utan ett där. Och vi, invånare och medskapare, befinner oss alltid någonstans mittemellan. Dimitris Alevras, författare   Litteratur On-Scene Guide for Crisis Negotiators, Frederick J.

Taking care of business can mean a lot of different things. From activist CEOs to the science of war to clean energy companies, we’re diving into how business actually gets done. First up, CEOs used to keep their mouths shut. They’d donate to campaigns and spend money lobbying, sure, but for the most part, they wouldn’t comment on politics. That’s *definitely *no longer the case. Patagonia, Starbucks, Apple… corporations and the people in charge of them are commenting on issues ranging from LGBT rights to federal land management. Nordstrom even took a stand on Ivanka Trump. And according to Duke University associate professor Aaron Chatterji, there are a lot of complicated reasons for that. Next, a split-second after a test of the atomic bomb, James Conant thought the world was going to end. It didn’t, of course, but the creation of the bomb was a transformational event. One that James Conant, a scientist and former President of Harvard, played a large role in. His grandaughter, author Jennet Conant, talks about his legacy, his leadership in The Manhattan Project, and what Conant, Robert Oppenheimer and others can teach us about using cutting-edge science to create weapons of war. And finally, the business of sustainable energy isn’t always that, well… sustainable. Jay Whitacre, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, would know. His clean energy startup, Aquion Energy, filed for bankruptcy last year, despite raising $200 million from investors. We talk with him about the challenges facing companies — and researchers — focused on sustainable energy. And he tells us why the future still looks bright, at least outside the U.S.

Growing up, Thanksgivings in Jennet Conant’s house were contentious. The Vietnam War was raging, and in Cambridge, MA, student protests were ubiquitous. But Conant’s family was especially combative. Her grandfather, James B. Conant, a former president of Harvard University, had both supervised the production of poison gas during World War I, and oversaw the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. And Conant’s father argued her grandfather wasn’t a scientist who had served his country, but a mass murderer. Jennet Conant is the author of a new biography of her grandfather, “Man of the Hour: James B. Conant, Warrior Scientist,” as well other books about war, science, and the intersection of the two. She explains what happens when people use science to create weapons - and the fallout for the scientists themselves.
