Synopsis

During a seminal decade (1433–1443), Florence became a crossroads of cultural, political, and ecclesiastical significance, hosting an exiled pope and a desperate Roman emperor while embracing the rise of Cosimo de’ Medici as de facto prince. The Medici, a Pope and an Emperor traces the historical arcs of the Commune of Florence, the Medici, the Catholic Church and Byzantium. The intersection of these histories transformed Florence into a unique stage upon which occurred some of the most important events of the early Italian Renaissance.

    Humans produce what the aliens crave. They keep us on factory farms. They pump us full of glorious hormones. 
    It began with a physical exam. They probed and explored my body while making me watch a terrifying video. 
    Then they put me in a holding cell with my new companion—a computer that can read my mind. 
    It doesn’t matter what I say, it knows how to influence and manipulate me. It’s designed to milk me dry. That’s why I’m here—I’m livestock. 
    Day by day, I can feel my body morphing. The need to be milked grows stronger and stronger. I’m no longer a man. 
    I’m a hucow.

    The Public Purpose of Art

    We’re on the cusp of a paradigm shift, a radical change in worldview that will thrust art and culture onto center stage. What does that mean? How will the world be different? What is the rising spirit of the times and how is it being expressed in art? Arlene Goldbard says, “I have this overwhelming image of energy gathering force and taking shape.” She likens this force to a wave and says, “No one masterminds a wave, ordering all the drops of water into line. Many independent forces operate simultaneously – wind, gravity, disturbances of all kinds – and somehow, the wave mounts.” In this dialogue we explore this mounting force and what’s opposing this rolling tide.

  • Day That Will Live in Infamy A: The History and Legacy of Japan’s Initial Attacks against the United States at Pearl Harbor Wake Island and the Philippines on December 7 1941 - cover

    Day That Will Live in Infamy A:...

    All Americans are familiar with the “day that will live in infamy.” At 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, the advanced base of the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet, was ablaze. It had been smashed by aircraft launched by the carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. All eight battleships had been sunk or badly damaged, 350 aircraft had been knocked out, and over 2,000 Americans lay dead. Indelible images of the USS Arizona exploding and the USS Oklahoma capsizing and floating upside down have been ingrained in the American conscience ever since. In less than an hour and a half the Japanese had almost wiped out America’s entire naval presence in the Pacific. 
    Less than 24 hours earlier, Japanese and American negotiators had been continuing their diplomatic efforts to stave off conflict in the region, but as they did, President Roosevelt and his inner circle had seen intelligence reports strongly suggesting an imminent attack - though they did not know where. The U.S. rightly believed that Japan would take action to prevent the Americans from interfering with their military activities in Southeast Asia, and American military forces in the Philippines were already bracing for a potential attack. However, as the negotiations were ongoing, the powerful Japanese carrier fleet had been surging southwards through the Pacific while maintaining radio silence, preparing to strike the blow that would ignite war in an area spanning half the globe. 
    Posted on the other side of the world, it was early on the morning of December 8 in the Philippines when American general Douglas MacArthur received news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor hours earlier. With that, it could only be a matter of time before the Japanese attacked the Philippines. Although MacArthur and Allied forces tried to hold out, they could only fight a delaying action, and the Japanese managed to subdue all resistance by the spring of 1942.

    On May 31, 1988, at the request of General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, and standing below a bust of Lenin, Reagan spoke to and answered questions from a large audience of students and teachers at Moscow State University.  
    Reagan says “I wish you success” in Russian to the students on their upcoming exams. Reagan brings “a message of peace and good will and hope for a growing friendship and closeness between our two peoples.”  
    An information revolution is sweeping the globe that will transform our lives with robots, genetic coding, spacecraft, and other technologies. The key to progress is economic freedom. Entrepreneurs with the courage to take risks “are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.”  
    The Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, India, and China are seeing the power of economic freedom. Freedom “is the continuing revolution of the marketplace.”  
    Nations “must renounce, once and for all, the right to an expansionist foreign policy.” “People do not make wars; governments do.” “Americans seek always to make friends of old antagonists”, for example, Britain, Germany, and Japan.  
    Nothing would please me more than to see “a growing, exuberant, exporting Soviet Union that had opened up to economic freedom”. In this Moscow spring of May 1988, we hope for a new world of reconciliation, freedom, and peace. 
    Following the speech, Reagan fields questions from the audience on a variety of topics: the START ballistic missile treaty, how young people have changed since he was a student, conflicts in Namibia and Nicaragua, the return of missing Soviet soldiers from Afghanistan, what’s unique about the U.S. Constitution, Reagan’s speaking plan on the mashed-potato circuit after retiring, American Indians, and Soviet dissidents.
