Sports writer and Irish Times columnist, Dave Hannigan, who lives in Long Island, spoke to Jerry about how the World Cup is being viewed in America in a land where as a kid you have to pay huge amounts of money to play soccer.
You don't see too many $61.00 “pops” generating ovations like the one Rothfire and Brad Rawiller got after the recent Doomben $10,000. The horse all but written off when he broke down almost six years ago, and the tough-as-teak veteran jockey served up a fairy tale story in winning the famous sprint after a very wide run. It was Gr 1 number 26 for the hard working Rawiller who hadn't won at the elite level since scoring on Elite Street in Perth's Winterbottom Stakes five and a half years ago. Brad, who makes a habit of “walking racetracks” when track conditions are suspect, went out with a set plan. He answers all of the questions that people have pondered in this week's podcast. He begins by explaining how he secured the ride from a stable he hasn't ridden for previously. The jockey takes us through the tactics he employed in the big sprint. He talks of Rothfire's unlucky seventh in the Kingsford Smith Cup two weeks later. Brad pays tribute to his remarkable dad Keith, a versatile horseman who enjoyed success as a jockey both on the flat and over the jumps. Rawiller Snr also made his mark as a trainer and driver of harness horses. The jockey gives a shout out to his mum Elaine who closely monitors the progress of brothers Nash and Brad. Brad makes special mention of brother Todd and sister Stacey, both highly efficient horse people in their own right. He makes no secret of the fact that brother Nash is his primary inspiration. Brad goes back to his initial apprenticeship to Alan Bowell at Bendigo and a later transfer to Tony Noonan at Mornington. In his final year with Noonan he won the Victorian country jockey's premiership. He's never forgotten his win as a 19 year old in an Apprentice's Cup at Belmont in WA. He formed an instant attachment to Perth racing. Brad was thrilled to win his first Gr 1 in Perth for high profile trainer David Hayes. He looks back on a national jockey's title in the 2007/2008 season. His win tally was extraordinary. Brad recalls the unfortunate circumstances that brought him a Golden Slipper win on Phelan Ready in 2009. He looks back on a brief association with the grand stayer Viewed. He enjoyed a freak run to win the Caulfield Cup on the handsome stallion. Brad reminisces about his exciting journey with the talented galloper Weekend Hussler. He won 11 races on the gelding including 7 Gr 1's. Only one other horse even gets close to Weekend Hussler in the jockey's affections. He pays homage to the remarkable Black Heart Bart, a horse he partnered in 6 Gr 1 wins. The last of those wins triggered high emotion. Brad looks back on his snap decision in 2020 to try his luck on a permanent basis in Perth. There were several highs and one devastating low. The 47 year old is greatly inspired by older brother Nash but there are two other Victorian jockeys for whom he had special admiration. Brad makes special mention of daughter Cleo (14) and son Lucas (11). A nice chat with one of Australia's hardest working jockeys who hopes to enjoy similar longevity to brother Nash.

A draft class searching for traction The Detroit Lions Podcast put the 2024 draft class under a harsh light. Two years in, the group has flashed but not finished. The Detroit Lions need more in the NFL's tight margins. This feels like a prove-it season for the entire class, headlined by first-round pick Terryon Arnold at No. 24 overall after a trade up with Dallas from 28. Terryon Arnold needs consistent CB1 tape Arnold has shown it in stretches. Early last year he looked the part outside. Midseason he matured. He played less handsy. He read the receiver better. Then came the injury. Then penalties. Then a general lack of effectiveness. He has not played like a first-rounder yet. The expectation remains that he opens 2026 as a starting outside cornerback. The benefit of the doubt is fading. He has one more season before the fifth-year option decision becomes straightforward or complicated. The Dallas trade context matters Detroit paid a first and a third to move up for Arnold. Those Dallas picks turned into Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe. Guyton has started at tackle and shown an inconsistent but impressive profile. Beebe has started at center and been decent, short of high expectations. No one knows if the Lions would have made the same choices. They did spend time with Beebe at the Senior Bowl. Viewed through that prism, the move has not produced the intended return yet in Detroit. Ennis Rakestraw's availability and a crowded slot Rakestraw has played eight games in two years. Multiple injuries hit both seasons, echoing a college pattern where timing hurt his offseasons more than his Saturdays. This is a big year for him. The room around him has tightened. Detroit drafted Keith Abney in that spot and signed Roger McCreery there. Christian Risdon and Avante Maddox can play slot nickel. Outside, they brought Brockus back. Nick Whiteside is back, and to this point he has shown more in coverage than Rakestraw. The challenge is clear. Day 3 pieces still seeking a spark Giovanni Manu arrived as an offensive lineman from British Columbia in the fourth. Also in the fourth, Vaki was listed as a safety at Utah but Detroit drafted him to play running back, a role he handled at Utah and at the Senior Bowl. In the sixth, Mangin Wingo came in at defensive tackle from LSU. The Lions also added guard Chris Mahogany from Boston College. Collectively, the group has been underwhelming and frustrating. There is time, but not much, for this class to match the standard set elsewhere on the roster. The 2026 tape has to change the story. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #terrionarnold #ennisrakestraw #giovannimanu #2024nfldraft #mekhiwingo #christianmahogany #sionevaki Learn more about your ad choices.

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast begins a new series on the Gospel of Luke. Dr. Mitchell will be giving 3 lessons in overview comparing and contrasting the four Gospels before beginning his exposition of the Gospel of Luke.Each writer presents the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ from his divinely revealed perspective and focus as to who this Jesus of Nazareth is. So to begin Dr. Mitchell looks at the contrasts between Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each gospel writer was inspired of God to write without error God's revelation to him concerning this Jesus. Matthew writes to Jewish believers. Mark writes to Roman gentiles. Luke writes to a gentile Greek believer named Theophilus. John writes to everyone that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast,Luke 1 Introduction.
PREVIEW for Later Today: Gregory Copley discusses King Charles III's invitation to address the Irish Parliament. Similar to his appearance before the U.S. Congress, the King is viewed as a calming influence meant to soothe significant political upheaval worldwide.1690 CHARLES II
FDR faced significant domestic opposition from powerful congressional voices like Harry Truman and Hiram Johnson, who viewed both Hitler and Stalin as "monsters" or "beasts." Internal polls showed that 54% of Americans opposed aiding the Soviet Union, with majority support in only 11 states. To bypass this political resistance, the Roosevelt administration kept the early stages of Soviet aid secret for six months. Sean McMeekin notes that it was only after the Soviet regime survived the 1941 winter that Roosevelt publicly admitted to a multi-billion dollar credit line with no strings attached, effectively winning the political battle through executive discretion.

Winston Churchill viewed the Soviet Union as a necessary bulwark against Hitler, leading him to treat Stalin as a "brother-in-arms" despite Soviet crimes. To keep the Russian army fighting as "cannon fodder," Churchill diverted crucial equipment—including 200 Hawker Hurricane fighters and tanks meant for Singapore and North Africa—directly to Stalin. This massive transfer of resources retarded Britain's own domestic manufacturing and aircraft industries. Sean McMeekin argues that Churchill's "historical imagination" allowed the British to avoid direct land combat with Germany for several years while the Russians suffered the brunt of the casualties, leading to modern Russian moral blackmail arguments.

In the late 1950s, Pamela strategically seduced producer Leland Hayward, eventually becoming his wife to secure a new life in America. She moved to the United States in 1959, where she was viewed by New York and Washington society as a dangerous "vixen" due to her reputation as a seductress. Despite the success of The Sound of Music, she discovered Leland was financially unstable, leading her to sell her European assets to sustain their lifestyle. Seeking intellectual fulfillment, she opened a Manhattan shop, though her celebrity clients often failed to pay their bills. During this time, she maintained a close friendship with President John F. Kennedy, and his 1963 assassination was a profound personal blow to her. As Leland's health deteriorated throughout the 1960s, Pamela faced hostility from his children, who resented her influence and feared for their inheritance. By Leland's death in 1971, she was left financially depleted. (5/8)1650
"Viewed from above, on maps and in satellite imagery, Litzauer Schleife (‘Litzau Loop') appears as a gracefully looping meander. Sonically, on the ground, the field recording makes a similar gesture with the sounds of gently flowing water and the calls and wingbeats of birds. We were intrigued to learn this section of the River Lech is protected by conservation legislation and is one of the very few remaining parts of the river that approximates a ‘natural' riverscape. We dug a bit into the history of this place and learned about past times and people that both inspired and troubled our contribution."In the decades following World War Two, Litzau Loop was saved from being turned into a reservoir while under incredible pressure from powerful industrial interests seeking to develop entirely the Bavarian section of the River Lech. The word ‘pressure' and sound of water rushing through a power plant in Ilaria Boffa's preceding piece for Section 13 thus resonated for us and we brought it into the our opening."Another thread of continuity we introduce is historical. Today the person celebrated for protecting the Litzau Loop from destruction is Professor Dr. Otto Kraus (1905-1984). A famous line associated with him, from a film Natur in Gefahr (Nature in Danger) that he co-produced in 1952, is: "He who destroys nature, destroys himself". While being a stalwart force for nature conservation in post-war Germany, Kraus's role was continuous in many ways with the work he did for the Nazi Regime but using then the language of primeval nature as essential cultural identity for preservation of the German volk: one argument for regional wetland conservation was the expectation of additional lebensraum to be provided for development by Hitler's expansionism. As fascism rises again in the loops and returns of history, we have chosen to embed rather ignore unsettling links between nature and nationalist identity politics."Despite its protected status, we learned too that the Litzau Loop is still in danger of disappearing. The lack of hydrologic dynamics in the highly industrialized River Lech means that this section of the river no longer shifts its course. As silt accumulates, the riverbanks are becoming covered with vegetation, and this cultural waterscape is beginning a slow transformation into landscape. As the piece builds, we play with “accumulation” in terms of the layering of loops drawn from the field recording. We also layer in beats made from plucking TYΦA's cattail cordage-strings to ultimately take the piece in a cacophonous direction, suggestive less of romantic idyll than existential uncertainty. Kraus's phrase "He who destroys nature, destroys himself" is literally embedded as audible filtering processes in the second half of the piece, and the text can be seen when opening the piece in a spectral audio editor."

In evolutionary terms, the last Ice Age was just yesterday. We narrowly missed witnessing creatures like woolly mammoths, short-faced bears, glyptodons, and dire wolves. The late Pleistocene, spanning roughly 50,000 to 12,000 years ago, is marked by the extinction of most large terrestrial animals outside of Africa, likely driven by a combination of climate change and the expansion of modern humans. In this conversation, I speak with paleontologist and Associate Professor of Anatomy at Des Moines University, Julie Meachen. She leads ongoing research at Natural Trap Cave, where she and her team excavate Ice Age mammals each summer. Their work aims to understand how climate change influenced both the morphology and genetics of these animals. By analyzing microfaunal remains and pollen records, they also reconstruct Pleistocene climate conditions in mid-latitude North America. Recently, colossal bioscience announced what it described as the “de-extinction” of the dire wolf. While that claim did not fully hold up, the underlying science is still remarkable. In our discussion, Julie explains what we know about the late Pleistocene ecosystem at the time of the dire wolf's extinction, and what fossil evidence reveals about these animals. We also examine Colossal's announcement, considering whether it was aimed less at the scientific community and more at the public and potential investors. Viewed in that light, the real value of reviving charismatic species like the woolly mammoth or dire wolf may not lie in the animals themselves. Instead, their greatest contribution could be as ambassadors, capturing public imagination and helping drive the development of technologies for genetic rescue and conservation. ►Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/c4lvsreJ-WU ►You can find out more about Julie's work here: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=-hdi3IUAAAAJ&hl=en https://www.dmu.edu/directory/profile/julie-meachen/

Send us Fan MailEpisode 443 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 24)The 1980 Republican Presidential PrimaryIn Episode 443 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we turn to one of the most pivotal — and ultimately disappointing — chapters in his political journey: his campaign for President in 1980.Viewed through the lens of Dole's candidacy, this episode offers a revealing look at a Republican Party in transition — searching for direction in the aftermath of the 1970s and on the brink of a conservative realignment.At the center of that transformation stood Ronald Reagan, whose vision and political momentum would come to define the era. Alongside him was George H. W. Bush, representing a different wing of the party and mounting a formidable campaign of his own.Caught between these two rising forces, Dole's campaign struggled to find its footing.This episode assesses:• Why Dole entered the race — and what he hoped to achieve • The challenges he faced in a rapidly shifting political environment • His relationships with Reagan and Bush — both as rivals and future allies • The strategic and structural weaknesses that hindered his campaign • How the outcome reshaped Dole's future in national politicsThough his presidential bid fell short, the campaign itself provides valuable insight into Dole's political identity — pragmatic, disciplined, and deeply rooted in the Senate — and highlights the difficulty of translating that identity into a national movement during a time of ideological change.More broadly, this episode captures a turning point in Republican politics:A party moving toward Reagan… a field adjusting to that reality… and a candidate in Bob Dole, whose moment had not yet arrived.A campaign that didn't succeed — but still helped define the path forward.

Gaius & Germanicus debate in the Londinium wine bar, 92 AD. In our gathering, Gaius and Germanicus address the unfolding chaos of the 21st-century empire for you, veteran centurions. The Emperor is increasingly viewed as unfit by the global commentariat, delivering contradictory messages that leave allies and adversaries confused. Germanicusargues the Emperor allowed himself to be led into a failed war in Persia by Mr. Netanyahu, a conflict that lacks strategic objective and risks a consequential defeat. This "ceremonial" military, though dazzling in appearance, mimics the "mini-me" force of Israel, capable only of destroying cities rather than achieving decisive victory. The American public, sensing this failure through the Emperor's erratic social media posts, recognizes the nation is no longer the superpower it once was — as in the Roman tradition, an emperor who loses an army is quickly discarded.

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
Today, we sat down with Paul Tatum, Executive Vice President, Global Public Sector at Salesforce, to hear how Salesforce can help federal agencies reach ambitious goals with Agentic AI. By now, everyone has played around with AI, and possibly some agents. Viewed independently, they can dazzle. Unfortunately, the federal government expects action based on data. If you isolate Agentic AI, you can fall into the trap of lacking the ability to scale, ensure security, and maintain control. In those several weeks, notable technology leaders have jumped headfirst into some agentic offerings from new vendors. What is not reported is that many have jumped back out because of privacy concerns. Salesforce can serve as the "adult in the room," enabling federal leaders to leverage agentic technology in a secure and compliant manner. The good news: agents can connect just about everything. The bad news: agents can connect with everything. In the federal government, one needs trusted, mission-specific data through controlled interfaces. During the interview, Paul provides insight into innovation and security while using Agentic AI in a federal environment. He envisioned future AI evolving from reactive to initiative-taking and personalized, potentially becoming a concierge for citizens.

In this heartfelt and wide-ranging episode, host Bryan reconnects with Jim Bergmann of measureQuick after nearly three years apart. The reunion is anything but ordinary — Jim opens up about a serious battle with non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma that sent him through not one but two rounds of chemotherapy, ultimately requiring a cutting-edge CAR-T cell immunotherapy treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. Jim shares the remarkable medical journey of having his T cells extracted, genetically modified in a Maryland lab, and reintroduced into his body to permanently attack cancer cells. Now past the critical six-month remission milestone, Jim is back, healthy, and more motivated than ever to push the HVAC diagnostics industry forward. From his medical comeback, the conversation transitions naturally into what Jim loves most: the world of HVAC diagnostics and the evolution of measureQuick. After years of defending a per-use pricing model that the market simply didn't embrace, Jim candidly admits the old model wasn't working. With the help of business partner Eric Preston (formerly of TruTech Tools), the team overhauled the software's pricing structure in February — a move that has since driven 90%+ customer retention and accelerated growth significantly. The new focus is squarely on "time to value," streamlining workflows so technicians reach key diagnostic reports faster than ever before. A significant portion of the episode dives into how measureQuick is thoughtfully integrating artificial intelligence. Rather than chasing AI trends, Jim and his team — including AI specialist Ben Reed — took a deliberate approach: identifying the precise areas where AI genuinely helps technicians without creating distractions. The standout use case is label identification, where AI reads equipment labels and auto-populates system profiles. Jim is refreshingly candid about AI's limitations in HVAC diagnostics, explaining that the field variability of real-world systems (varying line set lengths, mismatched equipment, non-standard airflow conditions) makes purely AI-driven diagnostics unreliable. Instead, measureQuick leans on first-principle modeling and non-dimensional mathematics to generate objective, data-driven results. The episode closes with a thought-provoking discussion about the state of the HVAC industry at large. Bryan and Jim tackle the growing influence of private equity consolidation, the persistent problem of technicians skipping probe deployment, the difference between clearing faults and actually fixing them, and the importance of commissioning and retro-commissioning equipment to manufacturer design intent. Throughout it all, the conversation is anchored by a shared belief: that measuring everything — in business and on the job — is the foundation of genuine, lasting improvement. It's a must-listen for any HVAC professional or business owner who wants to understand where the industry is headed. Topics Covered Jim's cancer diagnosis: non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma and the progression from standard chemo to aggressive relapse CAR-T cell immunotherapy explained: how T cells are extracted, genetically modified, and reintroduced to fight cancer permanently Jim's recovery at the Cleveland Clinic and surpassing the critical six-month remission milestone Neurotoxicity as a side effect of CAR-T therapy and what that experience was like The pivot away from measureQuick's per-use pricing model and the dramatic improvement in retention after switching The "time to value" philosophy driving measureQuick's new hybrid workflow interface How measureQuick is integrating AI — and where AI falls short in real-world HVAC diagnostics Label identification as the most practical current AI application in field diagnostics Why AI is highly sycophantic and the danger of relying on subjective, internet-sourced training data for HVAC decisions The power of measureQuick's proprietary measurement data and target zones as a foundation for AI summaries First-principle modeling and non-dimensional mathematics: why brand-agnostic diagnostics work The importance of deploying all nine probes on every air conditioning service call Benchmarking vs. commissioning vs. retro-commissioning: the three layers of equipment assessment Design temperature difference: measuring evaporator and condenser delta-T as engineering benchmarks How ECM motors mask airflow problems — and why that leads to premature motor failure and higher energy costs The two "elephants in the room": incomplete probe deployment and clearing faults without fixing them Why clearing a fault in measureQuick without addressing the root cause is like putting duct tape over a check engine light How poor installation practices in high-growth markets (Florida, Texas, Arizona, Las Vegas) have created widespread system deficiencies The role of private equity in HVAC consolidation and why many PE firms add cost without adding value Why implementing field measurement systems like measureQuick is the missing link for PE-owned and independent shops alike The legacy mode vs. new mode toggle in the upcoming measureQuick update — no forced UI changes for existing users How measureQuick helps newer technicians become productive faster and helps seasoned technicians be more consistent The importance of presenting diagnostic findings to homeowners and helping them understand what the numbers actually mean Learn more about measureQuick at https://measurequick.com/.

Mark Antony and the Divine Spectacle of the East Following Caesar's assassination, Cleopatra wooed Mark Antony with a theatrical arrival on a gilded boat, presenting herself as the goddess Aphrodite. While Antony viewed her as a vital political opportunity, conservative Rome saw her as a dangerous seductress who had caused a Roman general to abandon his principles. Their union was marked by Antony's increasing reliance on Cleopatra for funding his failing military campaigns against the Parthians. Simultaneously, a massive volcanic eruption in Alaska triggered climate cooling and poor Nile floods, leading to famine and further destabilizing the Egyptian economy as Octavian prepared for war.

This week in True Crime Today's Week in Review, with the guilty verdict now on record, the legal decisions made during the final stretch of the Kouri Richins murder trial deserve a complete accounting. On Day 13, following the denial of a directed verdict motion and the final cross-examination of lead investigator Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, the defense rested without calling a single witness. Three were reportedly prepared. One hour behind closed doors. Then silence.Tony Brueski examines the legal architecture of that decision — the directed verdict standard, why it failed, and the procedural position the defense was in when that recess ended. Viewed against a guilty verdict on all counts returned in three hours, the choice to rest without testimony takes on added weight.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, provides the most rigorous pre-verdict legal accounting of where this case was vulnerable and where it wasn't. The drug use theory had been challenged on three fronts: a judicial ruling, witness testimony from Eric's personal circle, and forensic toxicology. Both key prosecution witnesses held immunity agreements and altered their accounts. A detective's recorded statements were used against the state mid-trial. Faddis assessed each of these defense arguments with full credibility — and then turned to the deception record the jury ultimately had to weigh. A forged insurance signature. A jailhouse letter written as a destruction instruction. Phone searches. Text messages requesting fentanyl three days after Eric Richins died.The jury deliberated for three hours. This is the legal map of how the verdict got there.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

8. Perpetua and the Shift to Christian Martyrdom (15)In the final segment, Southon discusses Perpetua, a well-born young woman in Carthage who was executed for being a Christian. Roman policy viewed the refusal to worship state gods as treason. Perpetua kept a diary of her imprisonment, framing her suffering as a spiritual victory. This marked a major cultural shift; while Romans valued suicide to avoid dishonor, Christians believed suffering and humiliationwere pathways to salvation. Her story concludes as Christianity begins to replace traditional Roman beliefs as the empire's dominant spirituality. (16)

Few things are more confusing than seeing a recruiter or hiring leader view your LinkedIn profile… and then hearing absolutely nothing. That spike of excitement followed by silence can leave you wondering what went wrong. The truth is, LinkedIn isn't just about what you want to say – it's about how quickly someone scanning your profile can decide to stay, scroll, or move on. Every section creates micro-decisions. From your headline to your About section to your activity, small signals shape whether someone feels confident enough to take the next step. When your profile is built from your perspective instead of theirs, interest quietly drops off. But when it's built from their lens momentum builds, and in this episode, I'll tell you exactly how.

Mark's journey runs from combat camera documenting the wars in Iraq and Africa to helping build We Are The Mighty into one of the most influential online media platforms for veterans before launching his own advertising agency. In this conversation, we dig into the real mechanics of representation in media — why veteran stories should be written, produced, and directed by the people who actually lived them — and how that philosophy shaped the VA's bold “Face Your Dragon” campaign. Mark and I break down how he partnered with director Ryan Curtis, producer Chase Milsap, and star Rudy Reyes to build a piece of storytelling that's unapologetically cinematic, deeply creative, and unmistakably direct. We talk about the risks of pitching a VFX dragon for a government campaign, the realities of producing high-end visual effects on a shoestring budget, and why veterans working as writers, producers, and creators matters more than ever.

Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan explains the Victorian view of the famine through the lens of economist Thomas Malthus, who believed the "generous" potato encouraged overpopulation. He notes that British policymakers viewed the famine as a natural, inevitable correction and feared that providing aid would discourage the Irish poor from developing a "civilized" work ethic.
Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine details the intense political opposition Lincoln faced in 1863 following the Emancipation Proclamation. He highlights Clement Vallandigham, a "Peace Democrat" leader who viewed the war as unwinnable and Lincoln as a "Puritan despot." Carwardine explains that the Democraticcoalition was fractured by religion, specifically between Catholics and Protestants, yet united in opposing the administration. Lincoln ultimately banished Vallandigham to the Confederacy to neutralize his influence.1880 HENRY BEECHER
BAZBALL DECLARED DEAD AFTER AUSTRALIA'S ASHES VICTORY Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Australia'sdecisive 4-1 victory in the Ashes series is viewed as a failure of England's "Bazball" strategy, which Zakis declares "dead" for test cricket. The strategy, reliant on brute force and psychological warfare to score quickly, ultimately backfired by exhausting the English players over the duration of the five-day matches. The Australian team successfully "outfoxed" England by utilizing technical bowling expertise—varying pace and using sliders—rather than engaging in a contest of pure speed. While England boasted of hitting "sixes" (home runs) prior to the series, Australia's disciplined field placement and bowling variety prevented the English batters from getting "their eye in," dismantling the aggressive strategy completely.

DISSENT, EXECUTION, AND THE SHADOW OF IMPERIALISM Colleague Professor Gary J. Bass. Judge Radhabinod Pal of India issued a massive 1,200-page dissent, arguing the tribunal was illegitimate and driven by the racism of colonial powers. Pal viewed Japanese actions as defense against Western encroachment and, controversially, questioned evidence of the Nanjing atrocities. Despite dissents from French, Dutch, and Indian judges, the executions proceeded in December 1948, with Tojo chanting "Banzai" (Long live the Emperor) on the gallows. The US Supreme Court refused to intervene, issuing a narrow ruling that it lacked jurisdiction over an international tribunal, allowing the executions to occur despite the judicial discord.

CLEOPATRA AND CAESAR Colleague Daisy Dunn. Dunn describes Cleopatra's dramatic entrance from a rug to meet Caesar and secure her rule in Egypt. Despite her intelligence and linguistic skills, the Romans viewed her with suspicion and distaste, labeling her a "whore queen." Dunn challenges the Hollywood image of Cleopatra's beauty, noting coin portraits show a hooked nose, and argues her power lay in her charisma and voice. She remains a figure of admiration today.

PLATO'S LETTERS AND THE WHITEWASHING OF DION Colleague Professor James Romm. The conversation examines Plato's thirteen letters, specifically the five Romm believes are genuine regarding the Syracuse affair. Platoviewed himself as a wise lawgiver capable of reforming a tyrant, though he was naive about practical politics. In the seventh letter, Plato attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of his associate Dion, spinning the narrative to portray Dion as a virtuous victim of evil rather than admitting his political failures.

INTELLIGENCE AND CALCULATED RISK Colleague Craig Symonds. Nimitz employed the concept of "calculated risk"—weighing potential benefits against losses—to manage his inferior forces. Although he viewed the Doolittle Raid as a risky stunt, he allowed it to proceed. Relying on intelligence from Layton and Rochefort, Nimitzcommitted his remaining carriers to the Battle of the Coral Sea and Midway. When Admiral Halsey fell ill with a skin condition before Midway, Nimitz selected the quiet Raymond Spruance to command, a decision validated by victory. Following Midway, Nimitz quietly placed aviator Marc Mitscher in "escrow" after a misleading after-action report. NUMBER 2 1945 OKINAWA (CV-94 LUNGA POINT)
