![]() ![]() While other ancient Chinese philosophers focused on moral and personal duty, Zhuangzi promoted carefree wandering and becoming one with "the Way" ( Dào 道) by following nature. ![]() The fables and anecdotes in the text attempt to illustrate the falseness of human distinctions between good and bad, large and small, life and death, and human and nature. Its main themes are of spontaneity in action and of freedom from the human world and its conventions. The Zhuangzi consists of a large collection of anecdotes, allegories, parables, and fables, which are often humorous or irreverent. Named for its traditional author, "Master Zhuang" ( Zhuangzi), the Zhuangzi is one of the two foundational texts of Taoism, along with the Tao Te Ching. The Zhuangzi ( Chinese: 莊子, historically romanized Chuang Tzŭ) is an ancient Chinese text from the late Warring States period (476–221 BC) which contains stories and anecdotes that exemplify the carefree nature of the ideal Taoist sage. ![]() ![]() And now we're at the stage where alarms and sensors on the fence line at the White House that should be the most secure 18-acre compound in the world are on the fritz and allowing people to jump in and spend time uninterrupted on that campus. One tiny, tiny little agency that became sort of the redheaded stepchild in the huge Department of Homeland Security was the Secret Service. Our country spent billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars, protecting us from terror in the skies, so that we fly safely everywhere we want, and protecting us from terror at our borders and our ports. ![]() ![]() The second thing that's happened is that the service has been shortchanged, horribly shortchanged since 9/11. And some of those secrets are important to keep, like how we keep the president from inhaling anthrax, but the secret part of the Secret Service has been abused by some small subset of Secret Service agents, and especially the leadership, to cover up vulnerabilities, to cover up mistakes, and to cover up sort of gross misconduct that none of us in America would tolerate in any law enforcement team, much less the most elite one that protects our democracy. ![]() The first is that the Secret Service keeps a lot of secrets. ![]() You know, there are two major things that sort of brought the downfall of the Secret Service, the state that it's in now, where agents are whispering to me that they're worried about a president being killed on their watch. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Compare Standard and Premium Digital here.Īny changes made can be done at any time and will become effective at the end of the trial period, allowing you to retain full access for 4 weeks, even if you downgrade or cancel.

Veteran journalist Bill Carter details the vicious recent battle over “The Tonight Show,” showing how Leno was hardly the devious schemer he was made out to be, and how O’Brien was not always the angelic innocent the media portrayed, as he and his team aggressively pursued the show at every opportunity. ![]() Whenever they wanted to discuss the situation around the office, instead of saying “The Tonight Show,” they would call it “Anderson Cooper 360.” Jay Leno, the current “Tonight Show” host, didn’t know that O’Brien had been handed his job. On a cold February night in 2004, Conan O’Brien and his executive producer brought their publicist to Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel to share the exciting news that O’Brien had been offered a new job - host of the late night institution, “The Tonight Show.”īut there was one problem. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am the only speech pathologist in this town, which means I get shuttled back and forth to different elementary schools in the San Diego suburbs. As mysteriously as it all started, the screaming went away and the next morning I married Oliver Jones - the Oliver Jones - and we just about lived happily ever after. To this day, I don't know why that happened to me. There was no foreseeable problem that I could articulate. I had a job waiting for me when I returned from my honeymoon. I was marrying the man of my dreams in a prototypical white clapboard New England church, and the reception - a lavish one with white-gloved waiters and Beluga caviar - was going to be held in my parents' backyard. I was barely nineteen, a straight-A student fresh out of Wellesley College and in 1976 that was still an accomplishment. I watched the lights come on in different houses - blue and yellow, blinking like Christmas - and wondered what was happening to me. We lived in a button-down suburb of Boston, and we were waking up the neighbors one by one. Even with my mouth closed, I continued - the high, shrill note of a nocturnal animal. My parents came into the room and put their arms around me they patted my head and smoothed my hair, fine, and I still couldn't stop screaming. ![]() The night before I got married I woke up, screaming, from my sleep. ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Some children found some engine parts in the field long ago, I believe.
