from the world of pizza: Italy sets strict guidelines for pizza-making. Of course this has little to do with the practically unrelated dish we call ‘pizza’ in North America.
David Crosby:
Frontline interview from PBS’ The Way the Music Died. I don’t know that I’d so blithely use Woodstock as any kind of benchmark – the execs certainly knew about CSNY as a purely commercial undertaking – but nevertheless there’s a lot to glean from any interview with Crosby on this subject.
On May 26, Al Gore
made a speech that has been widely noted since. The full text has been published by MoveOn. “…from its earliest days in power, this administration sought to radically destroy the foreign policy consensus that had guided America since the end of World War II. The long successful strategy of containment was abandoned in favor of the new strategy of ‘preemption.’ And what they meant by preemption was not the inherent right of any nation to act preemptively against an imminent threat to its national security, but rather an exotic new approach that asserted a unique and unilateral U.S. right to ignore international law wherever it wished to do so and take military action against any nation, even in circumstances where there was no imminent threat. All that is required, in the view of Bush’s team is the mere assertion of a possible, future threat – and the assertion need be made by only one person, the President.”
Josh Marshall then reported
that the filming was later called off. I guess shining the light of day on such practices can have an effect.
