Pierre was stewing over his wife's perceived infidelity with Dolokhov, who was sitting right across from him at the celebration for Bagration. As too often of late, Pierre was a glutton - eating and drinking in excess. He sensed what marrying into the Kuragin family would devolve into -- but could not resist that Siren's call of Hélène. Pierre's suspicions were roused by rumor as well as an anonymous letter informing him that his wife's connection with Dolokhov was a secret to no one but himself. Pierre reflects while others give toasts. He recalled how Dolokhov arrived from Austerlitz, injured and need of a place to recover; and how he housed him and lent him money. It now made sense as to why Dolokhov would so often praise Hélène's beauty. He senses Dolohkov gets a kick out of cuckolding him. He sees Dolokhov wearing a familiar & sadistic look, such as when he tied a policeman to the bear in Petersburg or when he shot some mail-carrier's horse. Pierre considered, “to kill a man means nothing to him.” Yet Pierre felt a prideful need to make a stand. His mind was scrambling and did not even recognize Nicholas, who chides the Count when Pierre failed to toast Alexandr. Dolokhov suggests for Nichols to be nicer and renew their acquaintance. Denisov then suggests that Rostov should flatter the man with the biggest estate and most striking wife. Pierre sensed he was being talked about. Dolokhov directs himself to Pierre and makes a toast inadvertently funny or intentionally cutting: “Here's to the health of lovely women, Peterkin—and their lovers!” Is he honoring Pierre or rubbing the whole matter in his face? Just then a footman was distributing leaflets of a vocal composition for guests to sing along with. One was laid one before Pierre. Dolokhov decided to take what was Pierre's and perhaps Tolstoy is being symbolic. Dolokhov grabs the paper and began to peruse it, which was the straw that broke the camel's back. We are not told if Dolokhov is being insolent or his rascal self nor whether there was any affair. We just know Pierre's perceptions. Pierre looked at Dolokhov and with a ferocity he never demonstrated, yelled “How dare you take it, You shan't have it!” The outburst alarmed those near, including Prince Nesvítski. Dolokhov returns a look which seemed to say “Ah! This is what I love!” Pierre continues, “You...! You Villain! I challenge you!” He is demanding satisfaction. In Pierre's mind the question of his wife's guilt was resolved. Within that gigantic heart, he hated his wife and was separated from her. Formal arrangements were made for the duel to take place the next day in the Sokolnik Forest. Rostov agrees to be Dolokhov's second and Pierre choses Nesvitski. Pierre quickly goes home but Dolokhov stays at the English club, admiring the entertainment. When Rostov asked Dolokhov how he felt, the latter responded: “I'll tell you the whole secret of dueling. If you make a will and write affectionate letters to your parents and think you may be killed, you are a fool and are lost. But if you go with the firm intention of killing your man as quickly and surely as possible, then all will be right…. À demain, mon cher.” We are brought to the next morning at the forest. Dolokhov, Denisov and Rostov arrive first. When Pierre appears, he carried the air of a man who already lost. He was absorbed by his wife's guilt and thought his adversary had no reason to preserve the honor of a man who meant nothing to him. Pierre ponders "Either I shall kill him or he will me." There were moments he felt like running away and burying himself. He realized there was no getting out of this and considered “Will it be long before this begins? Is all ready?” The pistols were loaded and sabres stuck in the snow to mark the barriers by which the duelists could not pass to shoot. Nesvitski tries to talk Pierre down, saying there is no sufficient grounds for mortal conflict and that Pierre was impetuous. Pierre agrees the whole thing is horribly stupid but feels compelled to proceed. Pierre is almost wishing to be put out of his misery. This includes the gloom over his marriage, the wealth he cannot manage and his directionless life. He took the pistol and inquired about its working, as he had never even held a pistol. This as he was to face a man who been in various duels and acquitted himself well at Austerlitz. The spot chosen was some 80 paces from the main road, in a clearing in the pine forest that was still covered with snow. The duelists would start 40 paces apart from separate edges and walk to each other and fire at will. At this time of day, it was misty and neither belligerent could see the other. This delayed the ability to commence for a few minutes.

There are towns in Texas named New Deal, Fair Play, Progresso, Utopia—and even Buck Naked!But what you won't find is any town called “Moderate, Texas.” I offer this curiosity to the monied powers and milquetoast party leaders who keep insisting that Democrats must moderate their progressive policies, abandon their egalitarian commitments, and become more… well, more corporate.Hello – today's majority hates the everyday arrogance, avarice, and abuse that corporate supremacy has unleashed on workers, consumers, local businesses, family farmers, the poor, the sick, the “different,” our environment… and democracy itself.The time when “captains of industry” were admired is long-gone. Today's billionaire prigs – such as Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg – are clownishly greedy and foolish, becoming so reviled that they can't go out in public. As journalist Perry Bacon points out in New Republic, even moderate Democrats aren't moderate anymore: “Around 70 percent” of them, he reports, bemoan the fact that Party leaders are “too timid in taxing the rich, taxing corporations, and cracking down on companies that break the law.”Polls aside, you can find out how moderates (and even conservatives) feel about moving the Party of the People to the middle of the road by visiting rural areas in Virginia, Illinois, Texas, or other states being invaded by autocratic corporate billionaires trying to usurp vast amounts of land water and energy for their AI data centers. Locals are furious at this plutocratic power grab and wondering if anyone will stand with them in full-force populist rebellion against the profiteers.We're in a 1932 moment. Far from becoming a corporate kiss-up party, people want and need Democrats to be the kick-ass party!Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

How to make money playing the role you were born to play: yourself. Or in other words: learn that the skills you have gained as an actor are of value beyond the script. A deep dive into what skills you have as a performer that can be monetized in other ways including corporate work as an MC, hosting children's shows, game shows and light entertainment with ongoing high profile warm up audience work. Michael worked as an actor on both stage and screen for several years. 1984 was a turning point as he began an on-air career as a television presenter, hosting children's shows, game shows and light entertainment. What followed was a decade of profile building which opened opportunities in the corporate space as host and emcee of Award Nights, conferences, product launches and the like. Work that he continues to this day. 1990 saw another sideways turn as audience warm-up for Blind Date. More shows followed and Michael soon became the go-to-guy for audience warm-up for everything from The Voice, Australia's Got Talent, Mad As Hell and sitcoms such as Acropolis Now, and All Together Now. He continues in this role now on Tipping Point – celebrating 35 continuous years applying the performance skills he learnt as an actor, to this arena. Along the way he has worked as Breakfast Radio host and has created television programs and produced others such as The Price Is Right, Bert's Family Feud and Comedy Slapdown.

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take you through another week in physical media and it's a pretty great week. You can get one of Scorsese's first, Richard Pryor's last concert film and even some early Matt LeBlanc. Peter shows some fondness for Lori Petty's bizarre comic book adaptation and even a little Troma. One of Erik's “Why is this not on blu-ray” choices gets its debut courtesy of Synapse. 20 years before Jurassic Park there was the original Michael Crichton amusement park. The pair debate the legacy of a “prescient” media satire with the late, great Robert Duvall. Finally, not only can you get perhaps the best Tarzan film ever made but John Boorman's incredible telling of the King Arthur legend gets what will be amongst the great upgrades of the year.3:35 - Criterion (Network (4K))21:26 - Warner Archive (Tarzan and His Mate)33:03 - Severin (The Ghost (4K), Retribution, Lookin Italian)49:15 - Cinematographe (Boxcar Bertha 4K)59:43 - Synapse (T.A.G.

I'm joined by Dave Itzkoff on this week's episode to discuss Paddy Chayefsky's classic film, Network. Dave literally wrote the book on Network in his history of the film, Mad As Hell, and had lots to say about the making of the movie, the minds behind it, and its ongoing relevance to our daily lives. I know what you're thinking, I can practically hear your thoughts: A movie about corporations taking over news divisions and fearing problems from the FCC holding up mergers because they don't like coverage? What does that have to do with anything happening today? But I think we can squeeze out a similarity or two to our current moment.

In this special emergency crossover, Johnny Mac (Daily Comedy News) and Mike fire up the mics to tackle the growing storm surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension from ABC. With conflicting headlines, regulatory noise, and media blowback in every direction, it felt like the right time to take a step back and look at what's really going on here.Johnny brings a sharp, informed perspective on the FCC's involvement, and together, he and Mike unpack the broader implications this moment has for the late-night genre. From the evolving role of hosts to the tension between punchlines and political pressure, it's a conversation about where the line is — and whether it's moving.They also talk about legacy, precedent, and how moments like this could shape the future of late-night television, for better or worse.⸻

When state lawmakers passed their biennial budget in July, they approved a $256 million increase to the University of Wisconsin system budget — but that money came with a lot of strings attached. Professors across the UW system are expected to carry heavier teaching loads, which has raised concerns about the potential impact on research and overall academic quality. To unpack these concerns and other potential consequences, host Bianca Martin speaks with Jon Shelton, a professor at UW-Green Bay and president of the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin, and Barret Elward, president of the United Faculty & Academic Staff union at UW-Madison. ‼️We're doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses why Angel Reese getting the WNBA 2K26 cover over Caitlin Clark isn't as big of a deal as some people are making it out to be, whether or not Kirk Cousins is justified for feeling misled by the Atlanta Falcons during his free agency negotiations last year, and how Bradley Beal could single-handedly flip the balance of power in the Western Conference depending where he decides to play next season.

Hour 1: Ike, Spike and Fritz discuss a report regarding AJ Brown potentially being shopped on draft night and if they'd understand trading him for a top four pick.
"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore" This is a line from the 1976 movie Network. The line is spoken by Howard Beale, a character who is angry about the state of America. The executive vice president at a huge bank asked where I was from. "So you left that cesspool to move up here," he said. I said, "Why are so many of you so jealous of New York, is it an inferiority complex?" (This guy was later cashiered because of massive sexual harassment charges.) Then you have the passive-aggressive types: "I assume your daughter's school as her backup school"? "No, but you wouldn't know how good it is because your kids could never get in and you could never pay for it." My first Ferrari: "Look, you can't afford the insurance and she could never learn to drive it." Three Ferraris later, he put me into the first Bentley sports car for $150,000 to try to buy my good will. I've now had seven Bentley's. Stop taking crap from people. When the woman in the coffee shop was rude twice in a row, I told the owner, whom I've known since he opened up 20 years ago. "I'll take care of it," he said. She's all peaches and cream now. Prudence is required. I don't respond to poor driving. I don't want to encourage road rage. But I have taken movies of truck doing 40 on the main street, and a state bus tailgating at six feet behind cars. I received very thankful notes from the trucking company and the Rhode Island transit people. How will they know if no one tells them? I stop donating to causes that are poorly run, don't conduct quality events, and constantly berate me as if I'm an ATM. I hang up on every phone solicitation. The gym knows that when I'm there, if they can, they don't play rap music featuring the "N-word," or "mother F," or any other Fbomb, or calling women "bitches." That's not a matter of taste. It's revolting. Should they show porn videos on the wall, as well? I don't try to please other people's accounting departments and their affectations. They don't need a W2 from me, I'm a corporation. I don't send invoices for minor amounts. And I'm on them like the wrath of God if they owe me money past the due date. And speaking of God: Jesus said to turn the other cheek, but he never said to let them keep hitting you.

Amid the shocking assassination of a health insurance executive and an upswell of anger towards the country's fragile health care safety net, the health insurance industry is suddenly facing a reckoning. Among the best experts to make sense of it all is Wendell Potter.When Wendell Potter left his job as a public relations executive for a health insurance company he was sure of one thing: his former employer was harming people every day. Potter, a former vice president of the insurance giant Cigna, became a whistleblower over a decade ago, and though he does not condone the recent murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, he understands the fury many in the country feel towards the insurance industry. Today on Lever Time, Potter shares what he learned about how insurance companies hurt patients and more than a decade as an insurance industry insider. Journalist Jonathan Cohn, a veteran health care reporter and the author of the book The Ten Year War: Obamacare and the Unfinished Crusade for Universal Coverage, also joins the show to unpack the decades-long political battle to reform the health care industry.

Rage for Ratings: Paddy Chayefsky & Sidney Lumet Present NETWORK What was once considered a satire by all (save the two men who made it - they considered it a reflection of what was happening), Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet's 1976 masterpiece exists as a fifty year harbinger of a media, social, and political reality that has reached its culmination with the current state of American culture. Once considered a blistering social comedy Network has lost a great deal of of its humor in the absurd realities of the third decade of the 21st Century. Mr. Chavez & I are thrilled, excited, depressed, and disgusted . . . all of it coming out in this timely discussion. Take a listen as we look to Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, Beatrice Straight, and (posthumous Oscar winner - the first ever) Peter Finch in this briliant look at the American Media System - Nearly Fifty Years before its Horrible, Horrible Culmination. Take a listen . . . it's a fun talk. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many Thanks. For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.
My guest this week is Mark Segal, who started making waves in the 1960s and hasn't stopped since. Mark was there for Stonewall, he was there for the organizing of the first Prides that followed, and he was ready to get arrested for the cause of gay liberation — and was many times, including on one memorable occasion when he invaded a broadcast of the CBS evening news. These days, he claims the title of the nation's most awarded LGBT journalist, he continues to oversee operations at the Philadelphia Gay News, and he has some wisdom to offer queer people following the trail that he blazed.We'll have that conversation in just a moment.

There are more people voting in 2024 than ever before. This year, elections are taking place in at least 64 countries, as well as the European Union, totaling almost half of the world's population. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, Galen sits down with Richard Wike, director of Pew's Global Attitudes Research, and Matthias Matthijs, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, to talk about whether voters are behaving similarly across the globe. One of the biggest trends they discuss: a deep sense of discontent with the people in power. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
