This Day in Legal History: League of Nations MeetsOn January 23, 1920, the League of Nations held its first official meeting, marking a major experiment in international law and collective governance. The League was created in the aftermath of World War I as part of the Treaty of Versailles. Its core mission was to prevent future wars through diplomacy, arbitration, and collective security. For the first time, nations committed themselves to resolving disputes through legal mechanisms rather than unilateral force. The League also helped develop early norms of international accountability and treaty enforcement. It established permanent institutions to oversee mandates, labor standards, and minority protections. Although the United States never joined, the League influenced how international law was discussed and practiced. Its failures, particularly its inability to prevent aggression in the 1930s, exposed the limits of voluntary compliance without enforcement power. Those weaknesses became lessons for later international institutions. Many of the League's structures and legal concepts were later incorporated into the United Nations. The League's first meeting thus represents a foundational moment in the modern law of international cooperation.U.S. President Donald Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit in Florida state court against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon, alleging that the bank improperly closed his accounts for political reasons. Trump claims JPMorgan violated its own internal policies by singling him out as part of a broader political agenda. The bank denied the allegations, stating it does not close accounts based on political or religious views and that the lawsuit lacks merit. Trump also accused Dimon of orchestrating a “blacklist” intended to discourage other financial institutions from doing business with him, his family, and the Trump Organization. He said the account closures caused reputational harm and forced him to seek alternative banking relationships. JPMorgan countered that account closures are sometimes required to manage legal or regulatory risk. The lawsuit comes amid broader political scrutiny of banks over alleged “debanking” practices. Conservative critics have accused lenders of restricting services to certain individuals and industries. A recent report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency found that major banks limited services to some industries between 2020 and 2023, though it did not identify specific wrongdoing. Regulators have since moved away from using vague “reputational risk” standards in bank supervision.Trump sues JPMorgan, CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion over alleged debanking | ReutersFormer U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith told the House Judiciary Committee that Donald Trump willfully violated the law in his efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election. Smith testified that Trump was not seeking truthful information about election fraud claims but instead was searching for ways to block certification of the results. The hearing marked Smith's first extensive public testimony about the two criminal cases he brought against Trump, both of which were dropped after Trump won reelection in 2024. Republicans on the committee accused Smith of political bias and argued his investigation improperly targeted Trump and his allies. They focused on Smith's use of subpoenas for phone records of Republican lawmakers, portraying the actions as overreach. Smith defended those measures as necessary to investigate potential obstruction of justice. He said Republican witnesses who contradicted Trump's fraud claims would have been central to the election interference case. Trump responded by renewing calls for Smith to be prosecuted and accusing him of harming innocent people. Democrats on the panel defended Smith as a career prosecutor guided by evidence rather than politics.Former US prosecutor Smith says Trump ‘willfully broke' laws in bid to keep power | ReutersA federal judge expressed skepticism about whether the Trump administration has the legal authority to build a $400 million ballroom at the White House without congressional approval. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon questioned the administration's justification for demolishing the historic East Wing and replacing it with a large new structure. The lawsuit was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which argues the project violates federal laws governing construction on parkland in Washington, D.C. The group contends that Congress must expressly authorize such construction and that required environmental reviews were bypassed or improperly handled. Judge Leon sharply rejected comparisons between the ballroom and past minor renovations, signaling concern about the scale of the project. He is considering whether to issue a preliminary injunction that would halt construction while the case proceeds. The administration maintains the ballroom is necessary for state functions and part of a long tradition of presidential renovations. Government lawyers also argue that stopping construction now would serve no public benefit, especially since above-ground work is months away. Leon said he expects to rule on the injunction request in the coming weeks.White House faces skeptical judge in lawsuit over Trump ballroom | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Édouard Lalo.This week's closing theme features music by Lalo, a composer who spent much of his career just outside the spotlight of 19th-century French music. Born in 1823, Lalo came to composition relatively late and struggled for recognition in a musical world dominated by opera and established conservatory figures. He is best remembered today for works that combine classical structure with vivid color and rhythmic vitality. The Concerto in F Major, Op. 20 reflects those strengths, balancing elegance with expressive intensity. The opening Andante – Allegro begins with a reflective, almost searching character before unfolding into a more energetic and assertive main section. Lalo uses the solo instrument to sing rather than dominate, emphasizing lyrical phrasing over virtuosic display. The movement's shifting moods showcase his gift for contrast and dramatic pacing. There is a clear sense of forward motion, but never at the expense of clarity. Lalo's orchestration remains transparent, allowing themes to breathe and develop naturally. The music feels poised between Romantic warmth and classical restraint. As a closing theme, it offers both momentum and reflection. It is a reminder of Lalo's understated influence and the enduring appeal of his finely crafted musical voice.Without further ado, Édouard Lalo's Concerto in F Major, Op. 20, the opening Andante, enjoy!

Un jour d'hiver 2004, Florence Féderlé, mère aimante, épouse en apparence dévouée, fait basculer du jour au lendemain le destin paisible de sa famille. Sans préméditation, mais avec une détermination folle, en quelques heures, elle drogue son mari, le tue, le décapite, le démembre, avant de brûler ce qu'il reste de son tronc sur un parking aux abords d'une forêt. C'est ce qui se serait passé à en croire les résultats de l'enquête menée par la brigade criminelle de Versailles. C'est ce qui justifierait une condamnation à 15 ans de réclusion criminelle. Pendant l'enquête, aucun autre suspect n'a été appréhendé. Les policiers ont concentré leurs investigations sur Florence Féderlé, qui clame toujours son innocence malgré ses condamnations.Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

Tourists visiting France from outside the European Union now have to pay significantly higher entrance fees at some of the most popular sites in the country: €10 more at the Louvre museum and €3 more at the Palace of Versailles. This after a recent daytime heist at the Louvre exposed shortcomings in its maintenance and security systems. Plus, Ryanair's CEO has blasted what he called "stupid" passenger taxes in Brussels and said the company would reduce its flights to the city by 10 percent this year.

An engaging investigation of how 13 key Enlightenment figures shaped the concept of race, from the acclaimed author of Diderot and the Art of Thinking Freely. Over the first decades of the 18th century, Christianity began to lose its grip on the story of humankind. Yet centuries of xenophobia, religious intolerance, and proto-biological ideas did not simply disappear. This raw material was increasingly “processed” by secularly minded thinkers who claimed the right to rethink the category of the human. By century's end, naturalists and classifiers had divided the human species into racial categories using methods that we now associate with the Enlightenment era. In Biography of a Dangerous Idea, prize-winning biographer and Enlightenment specialist Andrew S. Curran retells this story through the medium of group biography. Written more like a detective story than traditional history, the book traces the emergence of race through the lives of 13 pivotal figures, among them Louis XIV, Buffon, Linnaeus, Voltaire, Hume, Adam Smith, Blumenbach, Kant, and Jefferson. Moving from the gilded halls of Versailles to the slave plantations of the Caribbean, from the court of the Mughal Empire to the drawing rooms of Monticello, this sweeping narrative not only reveals how the Enlightenment's ultimate Promethean quest intertwined with systems of oppression and empire, but also offers a groundbreaking reassessment of the era's most famous luminaries.

INSIDE IRAN: CONFRONTING REVOLUTIONARY FIGURES AND UNCOVERING THE DOUBLE COUPColleague Craig Unger. Unger describes his 2014 trip to Tehran to find Iranian corroboration for the October Surprise. He visited the former US Embassy, now a "Den of Spies" museum documenting the 1953 CIA coup against Mossadegh, which remains a source of deep grievance. Unger secured a rare interview with Mohsen Rafighdoost, a founder of the Revolutionary Guards and Khomeini's driver. During the interview, Rafighdoost slipped, saying "If we met with the Republicans..."—a moment Unger captured on video. Unger also interviewed Abolhassan Banisadr, the ousted first president of the Islamic Republic, in Versailles. Banisadr provided documents confirming the plot, describing it as a "double coup": it removed Carter in the US and allowed hardliners to consolidate power in Iran by undermining moderates like himself.

Designer et architecte britannique, Duncan Lewis (Wallsend, 1959) débute sa carrière au Japon en 1984. Il s'installe en France en 1987 et collabore successivement avec Jacques Hondelatte, Lacaton Vassal, Edouard François de 1994 à 1997, puis crée l'agence Lewis-Potin-Lewis avant de fonder Duncan Lewis Scape Architecture à Bordeaux en en 2005 avec Brigitte Cany-Lewis. Il s'appuie sur la notion de contexte et de territoire, puisant à la source des écosystèmes. Le projet de Pont autoroutier (1993), l'Extension du groupe scolaire Buffon (1995) ou les Gîtes ruraux de Jupilles (1996) conçus avec Édouard François (1994-1999) s'inscrivent en osmose avec le paysage. De la même manière, le Lycée Jean Moulin avec Manal Rachdi, Tanguy Vermet (OFF architecture) et De Giacinto (Revin, 2012) épouse le dénivelé des collines. La Bibliothèque Universitaire Florence Delay (Bayonne, 2008), située au cœur de la ville historique, s'incruste dans les fortifications érigées par Vauban. Duncan Lewis est aussi auteur de plusieurs réalisations emblématiques (Résidence Ama Lurra, Bayonne, 2010 ; Station de tramway Hérouville Saint-Clair, Caen, 2002 ; Jardins des Géants, Lille, 2008). Qui ne connait pas La Cité Manifeste (60 logements semi-individuels) de Mulhouse où il oeuvre au début des années 2000 aux côtés d'Architectures Jean Nouvel, Shigeru Ban / Jean de Gastines, Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal, Mathieu Poitevin / Pascal Reynaud? Aujourd'hui, il travaille en groupement avec H Hans Lefevre. Parallèlement, il enseigne dans les universités et écoles de Barcelone, Londres, Versailles, actuellement Marseille.Dans ce numéro de Com d'Archi, le récit de Duncan Lewis se déroule tel une épopée : la naissance de son désir d'architecture, son expérience au Japon, la naissance puis l'affirmation de sa pratique en France, ses projets. Cet architecte a connu et travaillé avec les plus grands de l'hexagone, dont les noms s'égrènent au fil du discours, dont Jean Nouvel . Nous découvrons ici son approche de l'environnement, laquelle a toujours fait partie de son ADN. Nous partageons avec lui la volonté de ne pas "coller des étiquettes" et la mise à distance des dogmes. Un regard porté sur le monde d'une grande humanité, doublé d'humilité. Une sensibilité, une énergie et une intelligence hors du commun, montrant oh combien l'approche architecturale "en résilience" existait déjà au XXe siècle !Image teaser DR © Studio Florent LarrondeIngénierie son : Bastien Michel____Si le podcast COM D'ARCHI vous plaît n'hésitez pas :. à vous abonner pour ne pas rater les prochains épisodes,. à nous laisser des étoiles et un commentaire, :-),. à nous suivre sur Instagram @comdarchipodcast pour retrouver de belles images, toujours choisies avec soin, de manière à enrichir votre regard sur le sujet.Bonne semaine à tous!

LLOYD GEORGE AT THE BERGHOF Colleague Charles Spicer. In September 1936, Lloyd George traveled to Hitler's Alpine retreat, the Berghof, where he successfully charmed the dictator, who was delighted by the visit and the validation it offered. The meeting was marked by mutual goodwill, with Lloyd George finding Hitler unpretentious and well-educated, a view he later publicized in the British press. During their discussions, Lloyd George proposed reopening the Locarno treaty to address German grievances regarding Versailles, noting that Hitler responded with visceral hatred whenever the subject of Russia was raised. Although criticized in hindsight, the visit was a serious diplomatic attempt to engage the regime, leveraging Lloyd George's status as the statesman who had originally drafted the war guilt clause.

Nous sommes en décembre 1673. Jusque-là, en matière de reconnaissance d'enfants naturels, les rois de France ont eu l'habitude de mentionner la filiation du côté paternel comme du côté maternel. Ce qui, dans le cas de Madame de Montespan, maîtresse de Louis XIV, est impossible car les enfants seraient considérés comme doublement adultérins et leurs droits pourraient être contestés par le mari de la dame. Qu'à cela ne tienne, le roi n'y va pas par quatre chemins. Ainsi, dans les lettres qu'il signe pour légitimer les trois premiers enfants de la marquise, il passe le nom de la mère sous silence et n'établit que la seule parenté paternelle et royale. Le roi écrit : « La tendresse que la nature nous donne pour nos enfants, et beaucoup d'autres raisons qui augmentent considérablement en nous ces sentiments, nous obligent de reconnaître Louis-Auguste, Louis-César, et Louis-Françoise, et leur donner des marques publiques de cette reconnaissance. Pour assurer leurs états, nous avons estimé nécessaire d'expédier à cet effet nos lettres patentes pour déclarer notre volonté ; à quoi nous portons bien volontiers, que nous avons lieu d'espérer qu'ils répondront à la grandeur de leur naissance, et aux soins que nous faisons prendre de leur éducation ». A la différence de leurs prédécesseurs de la dynastie des Valois, les premiers souverains Bourbon assument leurs maîtresses et enfants naturels. Ils forment ensemble une autre famille, parallèle à la lignée légitime. Mais comment ces deux familles se comportent-elles entre elles ? Se font-elles concurrences ? Quelles sont les privilèges des unes et des autres ? Qu'en est-il de la crédibilité du pouvoir ? Les origines roturières, bourgeoises, courtisanes de certaines favorites ternissent-elles les couleurs du trône ? Les fortunes colossales amassées par la Montespan ou la Du Barry sont-elles sources de scandales ? La « contre-famille » royale a-t-elle contribué au déclin de la monarchie avant la Révolution ?

1285, au temps des preux et des chevaliers.Bientôt, Philippe le Bel sera roi. Mais avant cette consécration, il accompagne son père Philippe III le Hardi dans le projet fou d'une ultime croisade, en terre du Midi. Se plaçant sous la protection de Saint Louis, Philippe III, avec le soutien du pape, veut imposer son plus jeune fils, Charles, sur le trône d'Aragon.Sur leur chemin se dresse la ville d'Elne, dont les remparts gardent l'entrée des Pyrénées. Elle est dirigée par un mystérieux gouverneur, surnommé « le bâtard du Roussillon », ou encore « Estefan le ruseur ». Aussi à l'aise avec les seigneurs qu'avec les manants, avec les chrétiens qu'avec les Maures, capable de se glisser dans la peau d'un conseiller du prince comme dans celle d'un cuisinier, quel parti cet homme imprévisible prendra-t-il ?La tension monte et le choc s'annonce gigantesque. Personne n'en sortira indemne, et c'est peut-être de cet incroyable gouverneur que viendra la surprise. En quête de vengeance, manoeuvrant dans l'ombre et en solitaire pour des motivations que lui seul connaît, il va donner un cours inattendu à cette épopée.Jacques de Villiers exhume dans ce grand roman historique une période méconnue de l'histoire de France, à travers un récit d'aventures peuplé de personnages aussi troublants que fascinants.Jacques de Villiers est notre invité en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

THE RISE OF THE PARIS COMMUNE FOLLOWING THE SIEGE Colleague Sebastian Smee. By March 1871, following a winter of starvation where Parisians ate rats and zoo animals, the city's radical Republicans revolted against the provisional government. The radicals, frustrated by the government's failure to break the Prussian siege and the subsequent humiliating surrender terms, seized cannons and established the Commune. This new government aimed for localized, democratic control but was viewed by the national government, now retreated to Versailles under Adolphe Thiers, as an insurrection. The Commune was libertarian and progressive but faced immediate isolation. Having survived the Prussian siege, the Communards now found themselves besieged by French government forces, setting the stage for a brutal civil conflict where the "brother fought brother" narrative of the 19th century would reach a violent climax.

Qu'est-ce qu'un gentleman ? Un homme habillé en tweed qui passe sa journée à tirer sur des perdrix et à jouer au cricket ? Quelqu'un de particulièrement noble dans l'âme, magnanime dans les affaires et droit dans les combats ? Une personne honorée par la monarchie, la société, la littérature britanniques ? Ou un snob prétentieux doublé d'une brute vulgaire capable des pires vilenies ? Richard de Seze propose, en trente-trois tableaux, une exploration du vaste monde des gentlemen anglais, depuis les plus connus, figures de la royauté ou militaires célébrés, jusqu'aux plus obscurs, dont la trace dans l'histoire se limite à une ou deux anecdotes. On y découvrira, à travers le rire et la stupeur, la bassesse qui semble, à rebours de l'image traditionnellement reçue, être la marque de fabrique de ceux dont on a appris à saluer l'élégance et le fair-play. Journaliste, Richard de Seze est écrivain et collabore avec plusieurs magazines et journaux dans leurs colonnes culturelles.Richard de Sèze est notre invité en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Jusqu'au 4 janvier, retour sur les épisodes les plus glaçants de l'année 2025 !C'est une nuit calme de la mi-juillet 1709 à Versailles : le vieux Louis XIV observe une cassette scellée. Il y a quelques jours, le monarque a ordonné la destruction de l'entièreté des archives royales concernant le plus grand scandale de son règne. Trente ans après la fin de l'affaire des poisons, le souverain souhaite plonger cette histoire dans un “éternel oubli.” Empoisonnements en série, sorcellerie, messes noires, rebondissements sordides et secrets d'État… Avec 442 personnes inculpées issus de toutes les strates de la société et des victimes innombrables, l'affaire qui nous occupe aujourd'hui a durablement marqué l'histoire de la justice française.
Au nom de la musique et de la liberté : un couple face à Goebbels" Ma grand-mère, Ruth Schönenberger, était la fille d'un célèbre médecin. Mon grand-père, Walter Betcke, lui, était le fils d'un riche industriel. Il a fait la Première Guerre, puis des études de droit, est devenu avocat puis a été engagé comme directeur juridique en 1928 par Deutsche Grammophon, dont il est devenu le président en 1932. Mes grands-parents se sont mariés en février 1933. À cette époque, le communisme et le nazisme leur étaient complètement étrangers et ils en condamnaient fermement la brutalité et la folie. Les nazis sont arrivés au pouvoir trois semaines après la prise de fonction de mon grand-père et ont aussitôt commencé à vouloir mettre l'entreprise au pas. C'est dans ce contexte que mon grand-père est entré en résistance contre Goebbels et le ministère de la Propagande, au point de lui faire un procès en 1935, qu'il a perdu en première instance et en appel, mais gagné en 1936 devant la cour suprême. Pendant ce temps, mes grands-parents ont subi intimidations, descentes de la Gestapo et menaces de déportation. Arrive la guerre et mon grand-père est enrôlé mais il continue de s'occuper de la société et à employer des juifs dans l'entreprise sous de faux noms. Libéré au bout d'un an, il poursuit sa résistance active pour conserver l'indépendance du répertoire musical et maintenir les salariés (dont des juifs) dans l'entreprise. Mais l'entreprise est bombardée. Il est envoyé au front dans les derniers jours de la guerre et se constitue prisonnier dans la zone américaine. Suit l'enquête en dénazification qui l'empêche de reprendre la direction de l'entreprise pendant un an. Il est totalement blanchi et redevient président de Deutsche Grammophon en 1946, jusqu'à sa retraite en 1965, pour faire de cette entreprise ce qu'elle est devenue : l'un des plus anciens éditeurs de musique enregistrée encore en activité. " C'est cette histoire qui est narrée ici à travers le récit d'un petit-fils ayant grandi à l'ombre d'une Prusse disparue et fantasmée : une traversée historique et intime du XXe siècle.Christian Curtil est notre invité en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Notre perception des guerres reste abstraite tant qu'on ne porte pas le regard sur les « outils » avec lesquels elles ont été menées. Pour cette raison, Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau fait « parler » trois objets parmi les plus évocateurs : un éclat d'obus, une dague de tranchée et une maquette relatant une attaque par les gaz, subie en 1915. Ces « témoins » peu ordinaires restituent la vérité du terrain, alliant les procédés de la guerre industrielle et la survivance des pratiques de combat rapproché. Un modèle qui perdure bien au-delà de la Première Guerre mondiale. Cet ouvrage qui mêle érudition, intelligence et émotion déploie une histoire « autre » du fait guerrier.Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau est notre invité en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Diplomate en poste à plusieurs reprises en Russie et en Chine, Sylvie Bermann retrace la longue histoire de ces deux pays. Elle nous éclaire sur ces deux géants dont le pacte stratégique est en train de dessiner l'avenir du monde.Après des siècles de relations en dents de scie, caractérisées par l'obsession du commerce pour Saint-Pétersbourg et la préservation de leurs frontières pour la Chine impériale, leurs liens s'étoffèrent à l'accession au pouvoir de Catherine II. Dans une volonté de modernisation et d'expansion, la Russie s'empare au XIXe siècle de territoires mandchous. La prise de pouvoir du Parti communiste chinois en 1949 scelle l'alliance sino-soviétique dans un rapport toutefois inégal.Grands gagnants de la mondialisation et hantés par l'effondrement de l'URSS, les Chinois ne cachent pas leur dédain pour le « grand frère » qui n'a pas su construire de puissance économique, trop dépendant de ses hydrocarbures. Malgré ce renversement des rapports de force, la croisade contre les valeurs occidentales de Pékin et Moscou, sur fond de rivalité sino-américaine, façonne désormais leur vision du monde et influe sur le Sud global.À la croisée de l'Histoire et de la géopolitique, Sylvie Bermann analyse la stratégie des deux Empires dont le sort semble déclarée « sans limites » est surveillée par un Donald Trump décidé à s'inviter avec fracas dans cette nouvelle donne.Sylvie Bermann est notre invitée en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Voltaire, le célèbre philosophe, a 68 ans et est interdit de séjour à Paris et à Versailles par le roi.

Fille d'un roi d'Espagne, elle partit à quatorze ans épouser un roi de France, sans autre mission que de lui donner un héritier ni autre liberté que de cultiver sa grande dévotion. Le destin en décida autrement : Anne d'Autriche sera la dernière régente de l'Ancien Régime - une "régente absolue", dira Voltaire - et la dernière femme à gouverner la France. Tenue à distance par un Louis XIII soupçonneux et un Richelieu toujours aux aguets, elle allait s'éveiller à la politique, à quarante-deux ans, sous l'empire de la nécessité, pour sauver le trône de son fils, l'enfant roi Louis XIV. Durant son bref "règne" (1643-1651), la monarchie faillit sombrer sous les coups de multiples révoltes, les guerres domestiques de la Fronde, moment explosif, le plus périlleux que connut la royauté avant 1789. Face à des événements inopinés, des affronts, des trahisons, comme celle de Condé, premier prince du sang, elle sut faire preuve, secondée par Mazarin, d'une grande intelligence politique, mélange de pragmatisme, de persuasion et d'indomptable courage. Avant de rétablir coûte que coûte la paix intérieure, antichambre du grand règne de guerre et de gloire auquel son fils allait associer son nom. Anne d'Autriche incarne le pouvoir au féminin : une reine éminemment politique, percluse de piété, que le hasard des circonstances destina à piloter sans faiblesse dans la tempête le navire malmené de l'État. Par-delà les polémiques et les dénigrements dont on l'a souvent accablée, cette biographie la restitue telle qu'elle fut.

The band Air is a duo from Versailles, France. Their first EP came out in 1995, followed by their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Moon Safari,' which was an international hit. Then they made the music for the film ‘The Virgin Suicides,‘ which was written and directed by Oscar-winner Sofia Coppola, based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides. The movie came out in 1999, and it was Sofia Coppola's first film. An album version of Air's score came out in 2000, and it was nominated for a Brit award. Pitchfork put it at number four on their list of the best film scores of all time. In addition to the instrumental music that appears in the movie, Air also wrote a song for the end credits called “Playground Love.” That song featured Sofia Coppola's future husband, Thomas Mars, from the French band Phoenix, on vocals. Phoenix was still a very new band, and he and Sofia hadn't even met yet. Thomas appears on the song under the name Gordon Tracks. So for this episode, I spoke to all of them: Nicolas and JB from Air; Sofia Coppola; Thomas Mars; as well as Brian Reitzell, the music supervisor of the film.For more info, visit songexploder.net/air.

he Caudine Forks and the Dangers of Half-Measures — Gaius & Germanicus — Germanicus and Gaius center their discussion on the instructive Roman historical lesson of the Caudine Forks: a victor must either completely annihilate the enemy or embrace them as genuine allies; choosing the treacherous middle path of ritual humiliation and subordination ensures future vengeance and perpetual instability. Germanicus applies this ancient strategic principle to contemporary geopolitics, arguing that the United States consistently fails this historical test by demanding submission—symbolized by forcing nations beneath the ritualistic "yoke"—without achieving total conquest that transforms hostile nations into obedient subordinate "bricks" within a durable imperial structure. Gaius and Germanicus cite the Treaty of Versailles and the post-Cold War treatment of Russia as prime historical examples where deliberate humiliation without comprehensive conquest bred lasting resentment rather than durable peace, establishing the foundation for subsequent conflicts and nationalist backlash. Germanicus characterizes this approach as reflecting American "narcissism," the desire for dominance without willingness to wage total war, thereby explaining systemic American failures in Iraq, Afghanistan, and contemporary tensions with Iran. Germanicus and Gaius warn against applying this "halfway yoke" framework to emerging challenges with Venezuela or Russia, instead counseling that it is strategically safer to permit regimes to decay internally through entropy rather than provoke nationalist backlash through external military or political pressure. Gaius concludes by characterizing current European leaders as "aggressive dependents" psychologically clinging to the Ukraine conflict to artificially preserve their own fragile domestic political authority and suppress internal dissent regarding failing governance.
