| 7d832e2 | to speak of "polarization" is to assume symmetry. No fact emerges more clearly from our analysis of how four million political stories were linked, tweeted, and shared over a three-year period than that there is no symmetry in the architecture and dynamics of communications within the right-wing media ecosystem and outside of it." | Yochai Benkler | ||

He was a commanding presence in our American history, a man who helped shape the way we look at that history. It was he, in fact, who created the Wild West, in all its adventure, violence, and romance. | Robert A. Carter | ||

Bilateral Information Talks in Moscow, involving leaders from American media and Soviet counterparts. As a result of this work, he was named Chairman of the American Delegation for print media in follow-up talks with the Soviets in February 1990 in Washington, DC, and | Robert A. Carter | ||

Since 1989 he has served as Trustee of Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho M.. | Robert A. Carter | ||
| 17913ab | The golden age for magazines came in the quarter-century from 1825 to 1850, when the business as we know it today really began. In 1825 there were fewer than a hundred magazines in America; by 1850 there were more than six hundred, the survivors of between four and five thousand periodicals issued in that quarter-century. Three magazines founded during this period are still surviving: Scientific American, begun in 1845, and Harper's Magazin.. | Robert A. Carter | ||

| cc27fad | In 1986, under the sponsorship of the U.S. Information Agency, he conducted seminars for Chinese educators in Beijing, China, in the teaching of American English. He was a key speaker at the first Face-to-Face International Publishing Conference in The Hague, Netherlands, and was a principal speaker at the annual meeting of the Periodical Publishers | Robert A. Carter | ||
| 76faabd | If Cody's fame and popularity seem strange to us today-he was, after all, celebrated for his prowess in killing, both buffalo and Indians-it is because his virtues were nineteenth-century virtues, and we live in an age of disillusion and cynicism. Cody's death, in a way, along with the First World War, signaled the end of those nineteenth-century values. | Robert A. Carter | ||

| 50bf361 | Will told his rival that "if you ever do that again, I'll hurt you." The next day Will had a third playhouse almost two-thirds constructed when Steve once again pushed it over. The fight that followed found Will once again on his back, pinned down by Steve Gobel. This time he resorted to a small pocket knife he carried and slashed Steve on the thigh. It was not a serious wound by any means, but it did draw blood, as well as Steve's anguishe.. | Robert A. Carter | ||

The Cody family, Mrs. Wetmore asserted, came down from the line of Heremon. Their original name was Tireach, which signifies "The Rocks." Murdeach Tireach, one of the first of this line, was crowned king of Ireland in the year 320. Another of the line became king of Connaught" | Robert A. Carter | ||

However, it is only one of the legends Mrs. Wetmore offers up as fact in her book, despite her disclaimer in the preface that "embarrassed with riches of fact, I have had no thought of fiction."

| c082e67 | Will Cody was always quite open about his drinking, although none of the officers he served under ever went on record to accuse him of drinking on duty. Off duty it was another matter altogether. On the morning after the first day's march, General Duncan, whom Cody called "a jolly, blustering old fellow," proposed a shooting match." | Robert A. Carter | ||

| 5519826 | Yochai Benkler says that while an inordinate amount of attention is being placed on free software, it is in fact only one example of a much broader social-economic phenomenon. I suggest that we are seeing the broad and deep emergence of a new, third mode of production in the digitally networked environment. I call this mode "Commons-based peer-production," to distinguish it from the property- and contract-based modes of firms and markets. I.. | Jeremy Rifkin | ||

| ca2f6d1 | From the steam engine to the assembly line, from the double-rotary printing press to the communications satellite, the capital constraints on action were such that simply wanting to do something was rarely a sufficient condition to enable one to do it. | Yochai Benkler | ||
| c8052e0 | In either case, the practical individual freedom to cooperate with others in making things of value was limited by the extent of the capital requirements of production. | Yochai Benkler | ||
| 8e7ea7c | There is no guarantee that networked information technology will lead to the improvements in innovation, freedom, and justice that I suggest are possible. That is a choice we face as a society. The way we develop will, in significant measure, depend on choices we make in the next decade or so. | Yochai Benkler | ||

| 0f6eb1e | The costumes raised memories of the Night of the Kinken Shards, when the New Quill Party had overrun the khepri ghetto in a storm of murder, shattering spit-sculptures in the Plaza of Statues, stamping the mindless males and butchering the women until they trod a ground of glass needles, ichor, blood. | China Miéville | ||
