Waar geschiedenis werd geschreven, was Sander Vanocur daar vaak met de hardnekkige vragen. De baanbrekende journalist die meer dan 40 jaar lang politiek behandelde voor televisie en print, stierf aan complicaties door dementie op maandag 16 september 2019, terwijl hij in de hospice-zorg in Santa Barbara, Californië, volgens De New York Times. Hij was 91.

Vanocur was een van de vier journalisten in het panel van het eerste op televisie uitgezonden presidentiële debat tussen Richard Nixon en John F. Kennedy, bekeken door 70 miljoen kijkers in 1960. Meer dan drie decennia later was hij een van de panelleden voor het debat tussen George HW Bush, Bill Clinton en Ross Perot in 1992.

Hij organiseerde ook twee series over de GESCHIEDENIS, Films op tijd en Geschiedenis & # x2019; s Business. Voor Films op tijd, hij interviewde ooit Oliver Stone en Anthony Hopkins over de film uit 1995 Nixon, waarbij de afbeeldingen van de film worden vergeleken met de werkelijke historische gebeurtenissen. & # x201C; It & # x2019; s in het oog van de toeschouwer, & # x201D; Vanocur vertelde de Los Angeles Times van zijn nauwkeurigheid. & # x201C; Een deel van mij rebelleert tegen losheid met de feiten. Het andere deel zegt dat mensen het recht hebben om geschiedenis op hun eigen manier te interpreteren ... Ik denk dat hij zijn opvattingen uitzet en in de film zet, wat zijn recht is. Maar is het een accurate geschiedenis? Ik denk het niet & # x2019; t denk ik. & # X201D;

Hij zelf verscheen ook in films als een journalist, met optredens in 1971 & # x2019; s The Gang That Couldn & # x2019; t Rechte shoot, 1980 & # x2019; s Til de Titanic op, 1993 & # x2019; s Dave, 1996 & # x2019; s Wegkomen met moord en 1994 & # x2019; s Zonder waarschuwing.Hij ontving ook de E.W. Scripps School of Journalism & # x2019; s Carr Van Anda Award.

Geboren op 8 januari 1928 in Cleveland, heette zijn naam oorspronkelijk Sander Vinocur. Maar nadat zijn moeder en zijn advocaatvader gescheiden waren, verhuisde ze met haar kinderen naar Peoria, Illinois, en veranderde de spelling van hun achternaam in Vanocur omdat ze & # x201C; boos was op de oude man, & # x201D; als De New York Times zegt Vanocur vertelde de krant St. Petersburg, Florida, De avond onafhankelijk.

Vanocur studeerde af aan de Western Military Academy in Alton, Illinois en Northwestern University, en studeerde ook aan de London School of Economics. Hij diende ook in het leger.

Hij begon zijn carrière als verslaggever voor De Manchester Guardian en werkte voor de BBC en CBS News, voordat ze naar De New York Times in 1955. In 1957 verhuisde hij naar NBC News waar hij verschillende functies vervulde als correspondent voor het Witte Huis, Vandaag toon D.C.-correspondent, De Huntley-Brinkley-rapport bijdragende redacteur en Eerste dinsdag gastheer. In de vroege jaren 1970 verliet hij NBC voor PBS, gevolgd door stints bij De Washington Post van 1975 tot 1977 en ABC News van 1977 tot 1991.

Een van zijn meest opvallende interviews waren het praten met Martin Luther King, Jr., in de Ebenezer Baptist Church minder dan een jaar voordat hij werd vermoord en Robert Kennedy in Los Angeles in het Ambassador Hotel, net voordat Kennedy werd vermoord in 1968.

& # x201C; I & # x2019; ben een groot voorstander van de persvrijheid & # x2014; zolang ze iets te zeggen hebben, & # x201D; hij zei in 2004 in een toespraak van Stanford University.

Vanocur was ook consultant bij het Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, professor communicatie aan de Duke University, professional-in-residence bij The Freedom Forum in Arlington, Virginia, en had zijn eigen communicatieconsultancybedrijf, Old Owl Communications.

Americans nearing retirement and recent retirees said they were anxious and frustrated following a second day of market turmoil that hit their 401(k)s after President Donald Trump’s escalation of tariffs. <a href=https://kraken13-at.net>kra13 cc</a> As the impending tariffs shook the global economy Friday, people who were planning on their retirement accounts to carry them through their golden years said the economic chaos was hitting too close to home. <a href=https://kraken6at.net>kra6 cc</a> Some said they are pausing big-ticket purchases and reconsidering home renovations, while others said they fear their quality of life will be adversely affected by all the turmoil. “I’m just kind of stunned, and with so much money in the market, we just sort of have to hope we have enough time to recover,” said Paula, 68, a former occupational health professional in New Jersey who retired three years ago. Paula, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared retaliation for speaking out against Trump administration policies, said she was worried about what lies ahead. https://kraken-24.net “What we’ve been doing is trying to enjoy the time that we have, but you want to be able to make it last,” Paula said Friday. “I have no confidence here.” Trump fulfilled his campaign promise this week to unleash sweeping tariffs, including on the United States’ largest trading partners, in a move that has sparked fears of a global trade war. The decision sent the stock market spinning. On Friday afternoon, the broad-based S&P 500 closed down 6%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped 5.8%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 2,200 points, or about 5.5%.

Critics say this power imbalance is clear in the 2016 contract Guyana signed with Exxon. Under the agreement, Exxon keeps 75% of everything it makes from its oil operations in Guyana, with the remaining 25% shared equally between the company and the government, which also takes a 2% royalty. <a href=https://1ido-fi.com>lido fi</a> “It was a bad deal,” Ali said in the BBC interview, but he has rejected the idea of unilaterally changing the agreement, which was signed by the previous government. He says the next contract with Exxon will be on different terms. An Exxon spokesperson said the contract is “globally competitive for countries at a similar stage of exploration” and said Guyana is averaging $1 billion a year in “oil profits.” Exxon has also faced a number of lawsuits over its potential environmental impact, many filed by Melinda Janki, a Guyanese international lawyer, who drafted the country’s Environmental Protection Act back in the 1990s. A big victory for Guyana’s people and environment came in 2023, when the court ruled Exxon should have unlimited liability for the costs of any oil spill. Exxon has since appealed the ruling and has posted a $2 billion guarantee while it awaits the appeal outcome. Exxon said this commitment supplements “its robust balance sheets … and the insurance policies they already had in place.” Janki says this isn’t enough. Offshore oil spills can be extremely expensive to deal with, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill cost nearly $70 billion to clean up. The push and pull between those who say oil offers Guyana a brighter future and those who fear the industry’s impact will continue. Exxon said it’s had a positive impact on the country, including employing more than 6,200 people, investing more than $2 billion with local Guyanese businesses since 2015 and spending more than $43 million on community projects.

President Donald Trump speaks about the mid-air crash between American Airlines flight 5342 and a military helicopter in Washington. Roberto Schmidt/AFP/Getty Images New York CNN — <a href=https://bsme.sh>blacksprut com</a> President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed the Federal Aviation Administration’s “diversity push” in part for the plane collision that killed 67 people in Washington, DC. But DEI backers, including most top US companies, believe a push for diversity has been good for their businesses. Trump did not cite any evidence for how efforts to hire more minorities, people with disabilities and other groups less represented in American workforces led to the crash, saying “it just could have been” and that he had “common sense.” But Trump criticized the FAA’s effort to recruit people with disabilities during Joe Biden’s administration, even though the FAA’s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period, issued under Trump’s first administration, promoted and supported “the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.” <a href=https://m-bs2best.ru>блэк спрут ссылка</a> It’s not the first time opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, or DEI, have said they can kill people. “DEI means people DIE,” Elon Musk said after the California wildfires, criticizing the Los Angeles Fire Department and city and state officials for their efforts to advance diversity in their workforces. блэкспрут сайт https://bsme.sh

‘We don’t want the American Dream for our kids’: Why this couple left the US for Ecuador with their children four years ago <a href=https://www.lawgaw.com.ua/%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9-%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%82-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D1%8C%D0%B5-2/>практична допомога адвоката у військових справах Запоріжжя</a> They’d never even visited Ecuador before, but Brittany and Blake Bowen, from the United States, decided to move to the South American country in 2021 to give their four children a completely different upbringing. The Bowens, who were previously based in the state of Washington, have been living in Loja, a small city based in the southern section of the Andes Mountains, ever since, and say that they are in it for the long haul. “We love this little country,” Brittany tells CNN Travel. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.” Before the move, the couple, who’ve been married for nearly 17 years, say that they were becoming increasingly concerned about the pressures placed on children by “modern American society” and wanted to try something new. “We did not like what we’d seen develop over the course of the last couple decades…” adds Brittany, explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming “more isolated.” “We weren’t confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared. “And the more we considered things like that, the more we wondered, ‘Is that even what we want? Do we even want them to be on a fast track to the American Dream?” The couple were also frustrated with living what they describe as the “standard American life.” “Long commutes and never enough money,” says Blake. “All those usual problems… I was working in a career that was very time consuming, and took me away from home a lot. So we didn’t want that anymore.” So why did they choose Ecuador as their “new home”?
