La situación de ELDT es bastante crítica a día de hoy. Ayuda a que El libro de Tobias pueda continuar: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/91liJSURk5 A finales de julio del 1972 el New York Times y el Washington Star se hacian eco del famoso Caso Tuskegee, el experimento en que se usó a 600 afroamericanos de conejillos de india para estudiar el desarrollo de la sífilis desde sus fases iniciales hasta provocarles la muerte. Ahora, 51 años después de esta denuncia y la cancelación del proyecto, queremos analizar el caso como un ejemplo de lo que nunca debía haber sido un modelo de experimentación con personas. Este estudio posteriormente motivó el conocido Informe Belmont (1978), que es el principal referente en bioética para abordar los conflictos éticos derivados de los experimentos con seres humanos.

1 Il culto di Satana cresce ◆ Dopo che un giovane di 20 anni è stato annegato su sua richiesta in modo che potesse essere ‘messo a capo di 40 leghe di demoni', il redattore associato Smith Hempstone del Washington Star ha commentato: “La fine dell'autorità e il rifiuto del razionalismo hanno lasciato gli uomini alla deriva in un mare ideologico dove tutti i fari si sono spenti. Nella loro disperata ricerca di una nuova rivelazione, si rivolgono alle colonne astrologiche presenti su almeno 1.200 quotidiani, al culto del diavolo, ai tarocchi, alle sessioni di sensibilizzazione, alle droghe, al pentecostalismo o a qualsiasi combinazione di questi”. Notando che le Chiese non sono in grado di contrastare questa tendenza perché sono anch'esse confuse, ha concluso: “Siamo tutti bambini smarriti, la notte è lunga e non c'è molto aiuto per noi”. 2 I ladri usano le catacombe ◆ All'inizio degli anni '70 del secolo scorso, la Questura di Roma denunciò un enorme racket di furti d'auto che operava nelle catacombe. I funzionari dicono che nelle catacombe potrebbero esserci almeno 6.000 automobili disassemblate. I ladri guidano le auto rubate attraverso ingressi nascosti; le spogliano di tutto ciò che ha valore, lasciando solo i telai. Le catacombe sono così vaste e gli ingressi così numerosi che i funzionari stimano che ci vorrebbe un piccolo esercito per fermare i ladri. 3 Ondata di crimini “scoraggianti” ◆ Un commissario di polizia nello stato centro-orientale della Nigeria, Mike Ibekwe, ha definito “scoraggianti” i crimini di tutto il mondo. Ha dichiarato: “Quante più leggi vengono emanate, tanto maggiori sono i crimini, e più severe sono le punizioni, più diffusi diventano i crimini”. Riferendosi a una riunione della Chiesa anglicana, ha osservato che la chiesa stava rapidamente perdendo il controllo sulle persone, aggiungendo che il problema oggi “è che molte persone che professano il cristianesimo difficilmente sono praticanti”. 4 Sostegno alla criminalità organizzata ◆ Un funzionario della polizia di stato a Bloomington, nell'Indiana, ha osservato che le organizzazioni che autorizzano le macchine da gioco nei loro locali sostengono la criminalità organizzata. Il tenente Forrest Cooper ha dichiarato: “Le macchine sono di proprietà del sindacato e controllate dal sindacato. E il denaro investito sostiene il sindacato: la criminalità organizzata”. Quando un'organizzazione ha affermato che i proventi delle macchine da gioco sono stati utilizzati per sostenere enti di beneficenza locali, Cooper ha risposto: “La beneficenza esiste quando si scava nella tasca posteriore dei pantaloni, si tira fuori il portafoglio e si destinano dei soldi guadagnati duramente per un'organizzazione di beneficenza senza aspettarsi un ritorno sull'investimento. Quando consenti a un dispositivo di gioco di entrare nei tuoi locali e quando qualcuno mette [una moneta], non è beneficenza. Questa è avidità. È la debolezza di un uomo che depreda la debolezza di un altro uomo. È il gioco d'azzardo”. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/corgiov/message

Tim Kurkjian's love of baseball radiates as he recounts his four decades of covering our National Pastime. The ESPN stalwart takes us to his early days as a newspaper beat reporter when terrible teams couldn't extinguish his joy. Tim recalls Don Zimmer's wisdom, Earl Weaver's unforgettable greeting, and Cal Ripken Jr.'s ferocious competitiveness even off the field.. He puts us there for a Game 7 that Jack Morris wouldn't leave, and a Game 7 when the Cubs broke a curse. We hear about Tony Gwynn's favorite bat, an odd request from Mickey Rivers, and a shared fascination for the APBA board game. There's a memorable moment with Johnny Bench sitting lakeside in Cooperstown. And, yes, that sausage mascot race . . . Yikes. Kurkjian was named the 2022 Baseball Writers' Association of America's Career Excellence Award winner (formerly the J.G. Taylor Spink award), presented annually to a writer “for meritorious contributions to baseball writing.” He was recognized at Baseball Hall of Fame ceremonies in July of '22. Tim has been a senior writer for ESPN.com and a baseball writer, analyst, host and reporter for ESPN TV since 1998. He has served as an analyst for “Monday Night Baseball” and “Wednesday Night Baseball.” Tim earned an Emmy Award in 2002 for his work on “Baseball Tonight,” and he was honored with a second Emmy for his contributions to “SportsCenter” in 2003-04. Tim was one of the first sportswriters to appear on TV as an analyst. He spent the first half of his career at newspapers and at Sports Illustrated, where he was a baseball senior writer for nine seasons (1998-97). He also worked as an on-air reporter for CNN-SI in his final two years at the magazine. His journalism career began at The Washington Star in 1978. He then worked briefly for the Baltimore News American in 1981 before joining the The Dallas Morning News to cover the Texas Rangers as a beat reporter beginning in the 1982 season. Tim moved to The Baltimore Sun in 1986 and covered the Baltimore Orioles as a beat writer through the 1989 season. Kurkjian is the author of three books: “America's Game” (2000), “Is This a Great Game or What?” (2007), and “I'm Fascinated by Sacrifice Flies” (2017). He grew up in Bethesda, Md. and attended Walter Johnson High School, named for the great Washington Senators pitcher. Tim graduated from the University of Maryland with a BS in journalism in 1978.

The legendary journalist, who helped change the industry with his reporting on Watergate, talks about how journalism changed his life. Carl Bernstein is best known as one half of the investigative team that broke the Watergate scandal, which eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Fifty years later, it is still regarded with reverence by both those who practice journalism and those who consume it. That is partially because the story of that reporting is dramatic, enough to fuel a bestselling book and hit film. But mostly the reporting on Watergate continues to resonate because it so clearly changed the course of American history. In the parlance of newsrooms, what Bernstein and his reporting partner, Bob Woodward, did at the Washington Post in the early '70s was high impact journalism.  None of that is news to anyone. But that isn't the story Bernstein shares in this episode of the Crosscut Talk podcast. Instead, he tells the story that came before the story, of his earliest days in a newsroom, at the Washington Star, in the early '60s.  It's the subject of his recent memoir, Chasing  History: A Kid in the Newsroom, and it's a jumping-off point here — in this interview with University of Washington professor Matthew Powers — to talk about the evolution of the journalism industry, the public's regard for the news and what it means to search for the truth.  --- Credits Host: Mark Baumgarten Producer: Sara Bernard Event producers: Jake Newman, Andrea O'Meara Engineers: Resti Bagcal, Viktoria Ralph --- If you would like to support Crosscut, go to crosscut.com/membership.

Carl Bernstein's investigative reporting on Watergate changed America for the better—or at least shook Americans out of our complacency regarding politicians. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff discuss this story of Bernstein's career, which started at 16 working at the WASHINGTON STAR. Narrator Robert Petkoff, with an occasional assist from Bernstein, takes listeners back to the beginning, and he sounds like an indulgent grandfather telling his life story to his grandchildren. Petkoff gets into the mind and soul of the youthful, news-loving Bernstein. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by Macmillan Audio.

Carl also discusses breaking the Watergate scandal with Bob Woodward 50 years ago. Finally, Carl tells us his thoughts on the state of journalism in the wake of the Trump administration and in the throes of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, and gives his take on the role journalism plays in American democracy today. Follow our guest on Twitter:https://twitter.com/carlbernstein Follow us:https://twitter.com/moochfm  https://twitter.com/scaramucci  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3HidGjy Sign up for our newsletter at:www.mooch.fm Created & produced by Podcast Partners:www.podcastpartners.com 

Tom's first guest today is the legendary reporter and author Carl Bernstein, who, with his Washington Postcolleague, Bob Woodward, broke the story of the Watergate break-in, which led to the resignation of Richard Nixon and the birth of modern investigative journalism. Bernstein has written two memoirs about that iconic story, and a book about his parents' encounters with McCarthyism during the 1950s. His latest book is an homage to newspapers, and a poignant reflection on how he came to love the craft of journalism and the art of storytelling. The book chronicles Bernstein's start in the newspaper business as a precocious 16-year-old copyboy at the Washington Star, and the subsequent five years in which he met people who left an indelible mark on his approach to reporting, and in which he acquired the nascent skills he would hone in a career that has spanned more than 60 years. The book is a terrific read, and an important testament to the value of journalism written by people who are deeply connected to the communities they cover. It's called Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom.  Carl Bernstein joins us on Zoom from New York… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before Watergate brought Carl Bernstein well-deserved fame and fortune, he sharpened his journalistic chops as a copy boy and cub reporter for The Washington Star. It was the Capitol's afternoon newspaper until it was shut down forty-one years ago. And was also The Washington Post's fierce crosstown rival. Bernstein has now written a memoir about his formative days at The Star called Chasing History: A Kid In The Newsroom. It recounts how a kid, who barely graduated high school and never finished college learned how to conduct interviews and craft stories that mattered all while getting a front row seat at some of the biggest events of his time. From the Civil Rights Movement to the assassination of JFK. Bernstein joins to discuss his book and what lessons it has for journalists today.

Fred Barnes recently announced his retirement after more than 50 years as a working journalist, having served as a reporter for the Baltimore Sun, the Washington Star, The New Republic, the Weekly Standard, and the Washington Examiner. He contributed to countless other publications such as The American Spectator and Reader’s Digest, but many people will remember him for his frequent turns on The McLaughlin Group, or perhaps his big screen cameo in Dave. Our wide-ranging conversation runs through his start in journalism in South Carolina back in the 1960s,  his ascent in Washington in the 1970s and 80s, covering Ronald Reagan, his thoughts on Trump, and how journalism has changed (mostly for the worse) during his long career. The secret to Fred’s journalism was that he never wanted to be an opinion columnist, but preferred reporting, which required talking with sources and finding facts—imagine that! The closest thing we have to an old-school style successor for Fred is Byron York I think.

Host Marcia Franklin talks with investigative journalist Jane Mayer, the author of Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right. Mayer, a staff writer for The New Yorker, worked for more than three years on the book, an expansion of an article she wrote on Charles and David Koch for The New Yorker in 2010. The two brothers, the scions of Koch Industries, have spent decades funding conservative candidates and causes. In her book, Mayer traces the history of the family and its political strategies, and examines the rise of untraceable "dark" money in the political system. "They've built up something that hasn't really existed before in the country's politics, which is a huge, multi-state, private political machine," says Mayer about the Kochs. "They operate in 35 states. They have a bigger budget and payroll than the Republican National Committee, yet they're private citizens." Mayer is the author or co-author of four books, including Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas and The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals. Both were finalists for the National Book Award. Mayer, who started her career writing for newspapers in Vermont, was a reporter for the Washington Star and then for the Wall Street Journal for 12 years, where she was that paper's first female White House correspondent. She joined The New Yorker in 1995. She is the recipient of numerous honors, including the John Chancellor Award, the J. Anthony Lukas Prize, the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, the Toner Prize for Political Reporting, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence.

Since 1995, the conference has been bringing together some of the world’s most well-known and illuminating authors to discuss literature and life.

Anne H. Oman began her career as a Foreign Service Officer for the now-defunct US Information Agency, which was charged with "winning the people's hearts and minds." She served in Cambodia and Indonesia and was expelled from both countries, for political, not personal, reasons. Anne has worked principally as a journalist. Her articles have appeared in the Washington Post, The Washington Star, The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Times, Washington Woman, Family Circle, Sailing, National Geographic World, and Senior Scholastic. She is currently a Reporter At Large for the Fernandina Observer in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Anne has published four non-fiction books. Mango Rains is her first novella. The story takes us back to 1963, to a sleepy Southeast Asian backwater, in Bienvenue á Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, a former French colony ruled by a famously mercurial Prince. Though a war rages next door in VietNam, life in the Cambodian capital seems peaceful, and no one has heard of Pol Pot or envisions the horrors to come with the Khmer Rouge. As the gentle mango rains give way to the violence of the monsoon, world events – the self-immolation of the Buddhist monks in Saigon, the coup in VietNam, and the assassination of President Kennedy – precipitate a crisis that scatters the characters in the story to the far corners of the globe: VietNam, Indonesia, India, and Africa. The events are seen through the eyes of Julia Galbraith, a newly arrived American Foreign Service Officer. Her journal chronicles the insular expatriate community's doings, love affairs and heartbreaks, and the changing political climate. Join Anne Oman and me on Tuesday, October 6, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about her remarkable life's journey and her novella, Mango Rains.

Because being a big part of Our Town growing up at WMAL and Channel 7 and the Washington Star is my background, and you know what the Star was like when you were growing up in Our Town and- Deborah Marriott Harrison: Yeah, my brothers used to deliver the paper. Andy Ockershausen: I say, right. It was Our Town. It was a small town. What's happened now has been an explosion. But thank you for remembering that there is a WMAL that was in Our Town and thank you for what you have done for the Marriott Corporation and particularly when you worked at ... your story was working at the Key Bridge Marriott? Marriott's First Two Hotels - Twin Bridges and Key Bridge Hotels - A Bit of Our Town History Deborah Harrison: Yes. Andy Ockershausen: How many years? Deborah Marriott Harrison: Oh, just one summer after I had finished my freshman year. Andy Ockershausen: Oh, you just did it in the summer time. Deborah Marriott Harrison: Yes. I just did it for the summer and that was our second hotel and it is still our oldest hotel in our portfolio because the first hotel was the Twin Bridges Hotel. Andy Ockershausen: Do I remember that well. Deborah Marriott Harrison: Yeah. Opened in 1957 near the 14th Street Bridge and we sold that in the late 80s and there's nothing on that lot right now. It's an empty lot. Andy Ockershausen: The Windjammer Club. Deborah Marriott Harrison: Yes, The Windjammer Club. And- Andy Ockershausen: It was a bottle club I remember that well. Deborah Marriott Harrison: Sirloin and Saddle, the restaurant. Andy Ockershausen: Well, the motel opened up where it used to be a national airport and before national airport there was another field there- Deborah Harrison: Right. Hoover. Andy Ockershausen: Were Marriott had a catering business. Deborah Marriott Harrison: Yup. Hoover Field. And the Pentagon is, and the Pentagon is there now. Andy Ockershausen: And yeah. Right. And so that was the beginning of the catering business, but the hotel business, your grandfather opened that hotel, I remember it had a sign. It was the only sign I've ever seen on the 14th Street Bridge and the Washington signs, at the exit to get to the Marriott Hotel. Can you ... you were too young to know that. Deborah Marriott Harrison: I don't remember that. You're right. I don't remember. That's really neat. Andy Ockershausen: There was some political pressure to get that done. But it was done. The only motel that was highlighted on the bridge leaving town, was the Marriott Twin Bridges. And there were twin bridges and then Marriott got into the hotel business and then opened up in Rosslyn. Was that your next big hotel? Deborah Marriott Harrison: The next one, two years later was the one was Key Bridge in Rosslyn overlooking Georgetown and the river. Andy Ockershausen: And it was a real, a motor hotel. It was a small structure. Marriott Started Out in the Hotel Business with Motor Hotels

Legendary journalist Carl Bernstein talks with David Axelrod about his memories as a young copy boy at The Washington Star, the details of the landmark reporting he did that exposed the Watergate cover-up and led to President Nixon’s resignation, how he grappled with the forces of celebrity after he became a cultural figure, and what he thinks investigative reporters should be looking at with regard to President Trump.

Lon Anderson has been friends with Andy O for over 40 years. Listen in to Andy describe the Lon Anderson he’s come to know. “He's a big voice in our town. He's helped us . . .get around town . . . You've heard his voice on radio. You've seen his face on TV news talking about one of the biggest issue that affects us daily. He's been on the pulse of transportation issues." Andy continues, Lon's "name has appeared in The Washington Post more than 500 times - sometimes favorably I may add. He can speak on any topic related to traffic safety, holiday travel, speed cameras, gas taxes and driving in snow. He's been the spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic for most of his career. He sits with me on the Board of Directors of the Washington Area Regional Alcohol Program which grew out of some ideas that we had on WMAL years ago, with Jerry Sachs and others and we started this whole effort with WRAP. And, he's my friend of many many years and a great great citizen of Our Town.” Lon Anderson and WMAL Andy considers Lon Anderson part of WMAL just without being on the payroll because Lon was on the air so much back then. Andy and Lon take a walk down memory lane. The talk about the talent at WMAL back in the day. Harden and Weaver. Trumbull and Core – co-hosts of “Two for the Road. Ken Beatrice. Lon says of Trumbull and Core, that there “it was the generational gap there . . .that really made it . . .it wasn't a natural pairing that you would have expected . . . they were different generations. Boy, talk about making the evening drive a little easier for all those motorists.” Andy agrees that “it was so incredible the way they got on beautifully . . .they were entertainers. . . they were information outlets but really entertaining . . .that was the old WMAL to entertain people and make their drive safer going and coming to the office absolutely.” They go on to reminisce about WMAL’s popularity, at the time, with AM and PM commuters. Education and Career Lon went to Montgomery College and then University of Maryland. On the way to becoming AAA’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Director, he worked in public relations as spokesman for two different Secretary of Education and as a Vice President of Communications for a trade association. He began his career in journalism as a cub reporter with the Frederick Post where he covered Montgomery County council meetings as a part of the Montgomery County Bureau of the Frederick Post. The Frederick Post is alive and well and is published daily. Sometimes on weekends it is fatter than The Washington Post. Andy and Lon continue to discuss how things have changed geographically. Frederick is no longer the end of the world as it once was but very much a part of Our Town. After the Fredrick Post, Lon became editor-in-chief of the News Express – a weekly community paper out of Bowie. After a couple of years at News Express, Lon bought a failing community newspaper, the Damascus Courier. He “decided it was time to go see if all the things I thought would make a good community newspaper work and happen.” He could see growth coming to the Damascus market. If he could just hold out it will come and he would be in clover. Lon renamed it the County Courier and expanded into Olney. Things worked out and Damascus grew as did Olney but then in the early 80s the recession hit. Lon ended up selling the County Courier to a competitor the Gazette Papers which ultimately sold to The Washington Post. The Washington Post ended folding the community papers. Both Andy and Lon talk about how sad it is that community journalism is no longer. They continue the discussion about the general lack of newspaper readership and what that means. They finish up this segment talking Our Town newspaper history, including the demise of the Washington Star. Andy attributes its demise that in part to transportation problems in Our Town.
