'Kissinger's Shadow' explores diplomat's long reach in US foreign policy - Los Angeles Times

The picture of Henry Kissinger that emerges in Greg Grandin's new book — of youthful brilliance curdled by an overweening ego and the will-to-power — is not an attractive one. The book's moral sensibilities broadly track those of some other eminent thinkers — including Seymour Hersh, Christopher Hitchens, Walter Isaacson and, most recently, Gary Bass — who have written about Kissinger's life and handiwork. Despite officially authorized attempts at a counternarrative (including a 2009 book by Alistair Horne and a forthcoming biography by Niall Ferguson), the evidence against Kissinger is simply overwhelming. In "Kissinger's Shadow," Grandin — a Pulitzer finalist, author of "The Empire of Necessity" and "Fordlandia" and professor of history at New York University — plumbs Kissinger's writing, especially his undergraduate and graduate work at Harvard,... SIGN UP for the free Essential Arts & Culture newsletter >>. In this early work, Kissinger privileged the idea of self-actualization, the idea that the greatness of a man is related to his ability to bend reality to his own desires. Applied to statecraft, this predisposes public officials toward action — even if, as was made painfully clear in the war in Southeast Asia, that action is undertaken only to convey resolve, or even the very ability to act, discounting the human...

'Franken-Charger' auction to push RCMP fund into overdrive | Video - Regina Leader-Post

The partially dismantled 1970 Dodge Charger, unveiled by Premier Brad Wall at the Royal Regina Golf Club on Monday, will soon be combined with a 2015 Charger SRT and auctioned off for charity as part of Project Cypress. Proceeds from the sale of the custom vehicle will go toward the RCMP Heritage Centre, as well as the RCMP National Remembrance Fund, which commemorates the work of fallen RCMP members in their communities. “We’re pretty proud of the fact that every RCMP member is trained here, that this is the home of the Mounties, that we have this great historical connection with the world’s best force,” said Wall. Advanced Collision will work on customizing the car over the course of the next year, before it is auctioned off in the summer of 2016. Approximately $350,000 of parts and materials will be going into the one-of-a-kind vehicle, which will pack a... “We’re basically going to make a ‘Franken-Charger. ’ We’re going to take the new car and fuse everything into the old car, and make a car that’s the only one in the world, and will be quite spectacular,” said Patrick Mengel, the owner of Advanced Collision. Last year’s custom vehicle, which had the body of a 956 Ford F-100 and the drive train of a Shelby GT Mustang, sold at auction for $450,000. While last year’s car auction took place just in Saskatchewan, Project Cypress will have fundraising... The NHL will also help Project Cypress by providing the proceeds from its 50/50 draw at a pre-season game scheduled to take place in Saskatoon on Sept. Source: www.leaderpost.com
