Robert A. Caro's The Power Broker has been called "the greatest book every written about a city." This groundbreaking work revealed how Robert Moses -- a man never elected to public office -- spent decades amassing power so immense that he was able to reshape New York City. Now, a new exhibit at the New York Historical Society, Turn Every Page: Inside the Robert A. Caro Archive, explores the story behind the book and the meticulous, methodical research Robert Caro conducted to write it. Valerie Paley, New York Historical Society senior vice president, discusses the show on view now.

Vi har varit på Olseröds konsthall och tittat på en utmärkt utställning med John E Frantzéns verk. Inspirerande och originellt, från Cadillacen och den skrevande tjejen på Hells Angelsmålningen, till porträttet av kungafamiljen och den ofullbordade men drömska Last Ride, med en chopper lackad i glitter-flagor. Skissernas museum borde köpa Frantzéns fina förstudier. Så talar vi om JD Vance igen och om försöken att skjuta ned honom. Inte ens hans förslag om rösträtt för barn, förvaltad av deras föräldrar, är egentligen särskilt konstig. Den högt ansedde statsvetaren Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson förutspådde redan för 15 år sedan att frågan skulle dyka upp. Hollywood löjlar sig som vanligt och tycker nu att det är "problematiskt" att Amy Adams spelade JD Vances mamma i filmatiseringen av Hillbulli elegy. Varför det, era filmmiffon? Vi såg filmen i veckan och Glenn Close gör ett fantastiskt porträtt av Mamaw, Vances mormor. Intressant att Kamala Harris väljer en vicepresident som inte väger upp hennes vänsterlutning, utan förstärker den. Det beror antagligen att unga radikala amerikaner börjat hata Israel och den naturlige högerkandidaten Joe Shapiro, är en kraftfull försvarare av Israel. Men det är också ett tecken på att båda de amerikanska partierna lätt domineras av yttergrupper — något Johan skriver om i det kommande numret av Fokus och som behandlas i en alldeles nyutkommen bok som heter Hollow parties - ihåliga partier. Uteliggaren Anders i Kambodja, som bokstavligen har "skinnskalle" tatuerat i pannan är Johans mediala höjdpunkt i veckan. Vi glädjer oss åt att podden fått en fin artikel i flådiga magasinet Country Smart, ägnar Lyndon B Johnson och hans biograf Robert A Caro lite tid, liksom utgivningen på vårt eget förlag, Fuck you förlag. Susanna anar höst, men vi ser fram mot att bila till Italien och är glada för våra härliga strandpromenader. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/hakeliuspopova. Hosted on Acast.

On July 29, 2024, President Joe Biden visited The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, Texas to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The President referred to LBJ as "master of the Senate," which reminded me of the opening pages of Robert Caro's book of the same name. That introduction is itself a masterful description of the suppression of Black voters in the South, the meaning of voting, the history of the Senate, its historical resistance to civil rights, and LBJ's role in changing all that. It is also filled with interesting observations about timeless aspects of American politics, and since I enjoyed re-reading it I'm going to read it for you with some annotations along the way.  Oh, and it turns out that President Biden, who knows a thing or two about the Senate, left a few things out for the audience in Austin. Finally, I again recorded early in the morning outside in the Adirondacks, so there are a lot of tweeting birds in the background. Non-birdie recording will resume next time.

Et gjenhør om Lyndon B. Johnson-biograf Robert Caro og biografisjangeren. Med Ane Farsethås og Bernhard Ellefsen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Robert A. Caro has written 6 books and won 2 Pulitzer prizes. The quality of his work is second to none. The dedication and determination to complete these books is nothing short of amazing. He's not done yet; at 88, he is still working to complete the 5th and final volume of his Lyndon B. Johnson series. In this episode, we discuss his coverage of Robert Moses of New York and President LBJ. Not being literary experts here at Investor Professor, we highlight a person (Robert A. Caro) as someone we admire for being dedicated to their craft. It's admirable and hard to find those who have so dedicated themselves to a single purpose that you should take the time to acknowledge it when you find one. Robert Caro's books are about gaining and using power, but his writing has also provided a masterclass in determination, grit, and the personal sacrifice it takes to be excellent.

Recorded on Friday morning September 29, 2023. We talk about the death of Dianne Feinstein, other political topics, playing the flute the Robert A. Caro, book, the power broker and more.

Biografien er en av sakprosaens stolteste og mest folkekjære sjangre. I biografien kan betydningsfull historie skrives og kjendisnysgjerrighet stilles – sjangeren krysser av på alle bokser. Men spørsmålet om hva en biografi skal være har ulike svar. Den biografen i moderne litteraturhistorie som har gitt det kanskje mest radikale svaret på spørsmålet, er amerikanske Robert A. Caro. Han innledet arbeidet med sitt storverk om Lyndon B. Johnson midt på 1970-tallet og er fremdeles ikke ferdig. I denne episoden av Morgenbladets bokpodkast snakker vi om biografisjangeren og om Robert A. Caros bidrag til den. Med Ane Farsethås og Bernhard Ellefsen. Hosted on Acast.

This week, host June Thomas talks to Debra Schmidt Bach, a curator of the New-York Historical Society's new exhibition, " ‘Turn Every Page': Inside the Robert A. Caro Archive.” They discuss the art of selecting objects that visitors will respond to; how objects like notebooks and a typewriter showcase Caro's idiosyncratic writing process; and the particular challenges of maintaining an exhibition that features lots of pieces of paper, a material that needs to rest so that it can be preserved. After the interview, June and co-host Karen Han discuss what kind of museum visitors they are, the art of winnowing, and how they find projects that will sustain their interest. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Schmidt Bach reveals her strategy for overcoming “curator's block” and shares what she learned from working on the Caro exhibition.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Gilbert Metcalf, who is a professor at Tufts University and a university fellow at Resources for the Future. Metcalf recently published a working paper with coauthor Alan Finkelstein Shapiro about the potential effects of a carbon tax on the US economy—specifically, a carbon tax that's designed to meet the US climate target under the Paris Agreement. In the paper, Metcalf and Finkelstein Shapiro estimate the effects of a carbon tax not just on overall GDP, but also on employment, labor force participation, wages, and companies' decisions about investing in clean energy technologies. Raimi and Metcalf discuss the modeling efforts that were involved, the surprising results, and the implications for policymakers.

More and more people understand that crypto is going to be big. But they don't really know why. And they don't want to be forced to turn all of their money into cryptocurrency right off the bat. So, what if there was a way to demonstrate the benefits of the technology with US dollars and then migrate users to digital currency over time? Andy Bromberg is the new CEO of Eco, a wallet designed to simplify everyday finances and maximize earning power. Andy began his career in startups as the CEO of political media platform Sidewire before cofounding CoinList in 2017, where he served as CEO for the last three years. Andy was also a member of the legendary Stanford Bitcoin Group from 2012 to 2014. On this episode of Boost VC, Andy joins us to discuss his introduction to crypto at Stanford and explain his decision to transition from CoinList to Eco. He weighs in the challenges of onboarding remotely and describes the skill set he brings to the Eco team. Listen in for Andy's insight around the benefits of the Eco app and learn how his team provides users with a migration path from USD to crypto. Topics Covered What got Andy into the crypto ecosystemPart of Stanford Bitcoin GroupCofounded CoinList in 2017 The challenges of onboarding remotelyConnect with team in Zoom settingEncourage natural interaction How Eco makes your money work for youPut money in, earn up to 5% APY5% cashback on purchases Eco's approach to broad crypto adoptionApp based around US dollarsEducate on tech over time What inspired Andy's transition to EcoToken design makes senseMigration path (USD to crypto) The skill set Andy brings to the Eco teamBuild community/attentionLaunch project successfullyAbility to scale organization  Andy's definition of successThings feel natural, peacefulIn flow state most of timeConnect with Andy  Eco https://eco.com/  Eco on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/eco-pay/  Eco on Twitter https://twitter.com/ecoAndy on Twitter https://twitter.com/andy_bromberg Resources CoinList https://coinlist.co/  Coinbase https://www.coinbase.com/Earn https://www.coinbase.com/earn  Andreessen Horowitz https://a16z.com/Balaji Srinivasan https://balajis.com/Bolt https://www.bolt.com/Cognito https://cognitohq.com/AngelList https://angel.co/  Protocol Labs https://protocol.ai/MyCrypto https://mycrypto.com/accountFidelity Digital Assets https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/overviewBlackRock https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual  The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert A.

In this episode of the Unseen Leadership podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Josh Hunter are joined by Barnabas Piper who is on staff at Immanuel Church in Nashville, TN. He is also the author of The Pastor's Kid and Help My Unbelief AND He co-hosts the popular Happy Rant podcast. Exciting news…..he also just released a new book called Hoping for Happiness. During their conversation, they discuss how to wait on the Lord in your work, growing in humility as a leader, and  living up to expectations as a pastor’s kid. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 49: “Happiness is not promised to us in our work. Go back and read Genesis 3. Genesis 3 basically says our work is going to be a pain, often.” “Keep the room clean where you are until God opens the door to the next place.” “Every time I have ever tried hard to change my work situation, I’ve screwed it up. When I’ve decided to faithfully work where I am and God handles the transition, I’ve been put in a spot that is clearly the best spot for me to be in.” “To be humble takes a profound amount of security in the Lord. Because you are volunteering to be lower than other people.” “More is expected of leaders. That’s part of the job.” “I liked passing the buck and taking the credit, which is the opposite of leadership.” “If we are marked by the things that we are trying to avoid, we are aimless.” RESOURCES MENTIONED 5LQ Episode 1: John Piper Hoping for Happiness by Barnabas Piper Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning The Son by Philipp Meyer Working by Robert A.

Review of Working: Researching, Interviewing, Writing, by Robert A. Caro

In Betrouwbare Bronnen episode 82 Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger have a conversation with economist Edward Glaeser, the Fred and Eleanor Glimp professor at Harvard University, specialised in the economy of cities.“Globalisation and new technologies have radically increased the returns to being smart", Glaeser says. "We are social species that get smart by being around other smart people. Face to face contact is still highly relevant, so cities are. On our own we are puny creatures. Collectively, we do miraculous things. Cities are machines for enabling us to collaborate. To buy and sell, to meet and to learn from one another. In a very deep sense, we are an urban species. We become more human when we are surrounded by other humans. And that’s what cities do.”We also talk about problems in city governance, such as building houses for everyone, airbnb and dealing with too many tourists.“Building new houses in Dutch cities is less easier than in the United States, because your cities are more precious and beautiful. Messing with them is a more risky bussiness. If you have to many tourists, you are not charging them enough. And think about some mild law and order interventions. Drunk young tourists wouldn’t behave the same in their hometowns, because they would be locked up and jailed.”Professor Glaeser warns politicians – such as the Democrats in the United States – not to cut off ties with rural areas and their inhabitants. “Succesfull urbanites have to find some common bond with these people, otherwise they’re gonna vote for some other politicians than you. If you nominate candidates that only speak to people who share your values, you have an America that’s split. And the same thing is true everywhere.”Some cities, places and regions mentioned in this conversation: New York, Amsterdam, Houston, Pudong (Shanghai), Mumbai, Singapore, Chicago, the Eastern heartland of the U.S. *** Special thanks go to Tilburg University Society and professor Sylvester Eijffinger who facilitated this converstation when Edward Glaeser visited Tilburg University in january for the Vrienden van Cobbenhagen Lecture 2020.*** Reading moreEdward Glaeser’s websiteEdward Glaeser - Triumph of the city, How Urban Spaces Make Us Human (Pan Macmillan 2012)Robert A.

Welcome to Heels of Justice; these are the stories of women lawyers who are trailblazers in their field and paved the way for the rest of us. Today, the Heels of Justice interview Claire Conner McCaskill who served as a United States Senator from Missouri from 2007 to 2019. She graduated from the University of Missouri and the University of Missouri School of Law. She was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006 and was the second female U.S. Senator from Missouri and the first female candidate to be elected to the U.S. Senate from Missouri. She is a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC and a visiting fellow at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.   Key Takeaways [1:32] Sarita welcomes Claire McCaskill to the Heels of Justice and asks her what drew her to the Law and when she knew she wanted to run for office. [4:36] Claire shares how prosecuting arson cases became a way to independence within a restricting firm and how her time in the courtroom more than anything in her career, helped be a better senator — she explains why that is. [8:03] Even people she tried to put in jail supported her bid for office! Sarita asks why she thinks that is. [10:06] Claire explains her two proudest moments as the first woman head prosecutor elected for Jackson county: drug courts and the domestic violence unit. [12:18] What my mother does during the day? Claire shares a hilarious story of how kids can ground you. [14:21] Claire had always done law as a road to politics, and all of her moves have been strategic in terms of bettering her chances at office — she shares the most important of those. [17:01] Once in the Capitol, Claire’s law background became a key asset as well as how to avoid being slotted as the ditzy blonde from Kansas City (keep in mind the incredible chauvinistic attitudes of the times!) [19:09] Did you bring your knee pads? The chilling account of what she was told when Claire asked how to pass a bill. [21:49] The former Senator shares the different strategies she used over the course of her career to protect herself and fight against gender inequities. [24:18] “I thought the world had ended.” Claire explains what she learned from her 2004 Governor position loss and how taking risks is absolutely essential. [28:14] How are deals made in the Senate? Claire digs into the nature and importance of negotiation, courage and compromise in running a country. [30:00] Some fun moments and momentous moments from her time in the senate (Happy birthday on Air Force One anyone?) [32:28] The formidable women who have gotten to the United States Senate should not be messed with — it is no ordinary task they’ve accomplished. [34:33] Sarita asks how people can support female candidates? Money talks and Claire shares the blouse story — Women have been socialized to see money as security whereas men have been taught it is power. [37:16] Claire talks about the hope she has for the future of this country by way of History and constant vigilance. We do not have the luxury of turning ourselves off to the real problems facing our most vulnerable people — get over yourselves everybody. [39:06] Claire has been through so much, and she shares her insight on how to get through it all in the spotlight: get perspective on how blessed you really are. She shares her mantra. [41:46] To advocate for yourself, you have to be willing to! Claire redefines the “L” word… What is ladylike and how can we avoid her mistakes? [44:45]  Sarita thanks Claire McCaskill for sharing so much of her stories and expertise on the Heels of Justice podcast and she signs off until next time.   That’s it for this episode of Heels of Justice; if you like the stories we’re telling, please visit our website.

Caro Pamela Harris Amy Klobuchar Nancy Pelosi Barack Obama John McCain   Personal stories (edited) “As a very young lawyer, I was the only woman in the office and so I was desperately trying to get out of handling what they naturally wanted to give me, which was first the low-level crime stuff like welfare fraud and burglaries. I wanted to get into major crimes. A government grant came along for arson prosecution, and I pitched the boss that I would be good at that. This resulted in two things: 1. gave me a raise, and B. gave me control over when I would go to a courtroom, because the terms of the grant stated the trainee would make all of the charging decisions.”
