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.

Hij was getrouwd met Edith Pick in 1956 en had twee zonen, Christoper en Nicholas. Nadat Pick in 1975 stierf, trouwde hij met Virginia Backus Vancour, die hem overleeft. Hij & # x2019; s overleefde ook door een stiefdochter, Daphne Wood Hicks.

Kate Winslet had a surprising ‘Titanic’ reunion while producing her latest film ‘Lee’ <a href=https://kraken5af44k24fwzohe6fvqfgxfsee4lgydb3ayzkfhlzqhuwlo33ad-onion.info>kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd</a> Kate Winslet is sharing an anecdote about a “wonderful” encounter she recently had with someone from her star-making blockbuster film “Titanic.” The Oscar winner was a guest on “The Graham Norton Show” this week, where she discussed her new film “Lee,” in which she plays the fashion model-turned-war photographer Lee Miller from the World War II era. https://kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7nj7instad.com kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad Winslet recounted that while she had previously executive produced a number of her projects, “Lee” was the first movie where she served as a full-on producer. That required her involvement from “beginning to end,” including when the film was scored in post-production. She explained to Norton that when she attended the recording of the film’s score in London, while looking at the 120-piece orchestra, she saw someone who looked mighty familiar to her. “I’m looking at this violinist and I thought, ‘I know that face!’” she said. At one point, other musicians in the orchestra pointed to him while mouthing, “It’s him!” to her, and it continued to nag at Winslet, prompting her to wonder, “Am I related to this person? Who is this person?” Finally, at the end of the day, the “Reader” star went in to where the orchestra was to meet the mystery violinist, and she was delighted to realize he was one of the violinists who played on the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner as it sank in James Cameron’s classic 1997 film. “It was that guy!” Winslet exclaimed this week, later adding, “it was just wonderful” to see him again. “We had so many moments like that in the film, where people I’ve either worked with before, or really known for a long time, kind of grown up in the industry with, they just showed up for me, and it was incredible.” “Lee” released in theaters in late September, and is available to rent or buy on AppleTV+ or Amazon Prime.

Tbilisi, Georgia — Jailed journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli gets weaker every day as her hunger strike has reached three weeks in Rustavi, a town near the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, her lawyer says. Now the 49-year-old is having difficulty walking the short distance from her cell to the room where they usually meet, and human rights officials, colleagues and family fear for her life. <a href=https://kra30.net>kra20 at</a> Amaghlobeli was arrested Jan. 12 during an anti-government protest in the coastal city of Batumi, one of over 40 people in custody on criminal charges from a series of demonstrations that have hit the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million in recent months. <a href=https://kra-25.at>kra25.cc</a> The political turmoil follows a parliamentary election that was won by the ruling Georgian Dream party, although its opponents allege the vote was rigged. Protests highlight battle over Georgia's future. Here's why it matters. Its outcome pushed Georgia further into Russia's orbit of influence. Georgia aspired to join the European Union, but the party suspended accession talks with the bloc after the election. As it sought to cement its grip on power, Georgian Dream has cracked down on freedom of assembly and expression in what the opposition says is similar to President Vladimir Putin's actions in neighboring Russia, its former imperial ruler. kra28 at https://kra24at.com

A job for the Webb space telescope <a href=https://kra30att.cc>kraken</a> “We got 53 candidates for anomalies that cannot be well explained, but can’t say that all of them are Dyson sphere candidates, because that’s not what we are specifically looking for,” said Gabriella Contardo, a postdoctoral research fellow at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy, who led the earlier study. She added that she plans to check the candidates against Suazo’s model to see how many tie into it. https://kra30att.cc kra31at “You need to eliminate all other hypotheses and explanations before saying that they could be a Dyson sphere,” she added. “To do so you need to also rule out that it’s not some kind of debris disk, or some kind of planetary collision, and that also pushes the science forward in other fields of astronomy — so it’s a win-win.” Both Contardo and Suazo agree that more research is needed on the data, and that ultimately they could turn to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope for more information, as it is powerful enough to observe the candidate stars directly. However, because of the lengthy, competitive procedures that regulate use of the telescope, securing access might take some time. If Dyson spheres really exist, what could they be used for? “If you picture ourselves having as much energy as the sun is providing every second, we could do unheard of things,” Suazo said. “We could do interstellar travel, maybe we could even move the entire solar system to our preferred location, if we wanted.” But don’t hold your breath, because the technology and the raw materials required to build the hypothetical structures are far beyond humanity’s grasp. “They are so big that everything we have on Earth would not be enough to build them,” Suazo added. “Freeman Dyson said that we should dismantle Jupiter — the whole planet (for the raw materials).” That supercolossal scale probably means that Dyson spheres, if they exist at all, are very rare.

Broken spheres Dyson died in 2020 before any of his spheres could be found — although they are just one of a dozen ideas that bear his name. <a href=https://kra30att.cc>kra31 at</a> “As a young scientist, Dyson showed that three competing quantum theories were actually the same theory — he summarily ended the competition,” said William Press, the Leslie Surginer Professor of Computer Science and Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. He was not involved in the study. “Later, he applied his genius to areas of astronomy, cosmology, the extraterrestrial realm, and also the very real problem of nuclear proliferation here on planet Earth. At the time of his death, he was recognized as a provocative and creative thinker.” George Dyson also attested to his father’s fascination and comprehensive reach across disciplines. https://kra30att.cc kra30 at “Taking advantage of a short attention span and an aversion to bureaucracy, he contributed to five fields of mathematics and eleven fields of physics, as well as to theoretical biology, engineering, operations research, literature, and public affairs,” the younger Dyson said. “Many of his ideas were controversial, with one of his guiding principles being that ‘It is better to be wrong than to be vague.’” The approach of the researchers behind the new study could offer a more fruitful path in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, said Tomotsugu Goto, an associate professor of astronomy at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. He also was not involved with the study. “However, contamination by circumstellar debris disks, which mimic Dyson Sphere infrared signatures, remains a concern,” he added in an email. “Authors argue that the debris disks around (dwarf stars) are rare, but the 7 candidate authors selected out of 5 million sources are also rare. Despite this, the seven candidates warrant further investigation with powerful telescopes for a more definitive evaluation.”
