France

I'm talking about these middle Eastern Saudi Kuwait, the Emirates.

These are artificial constructs that are result of colonialism, French and British colonialism.

with a lot of tribal stuff that we can't even pretend to understand going on under currents that was kept stifled by side deals and monies transferred.

And so now what's Saudi going to do? What happened to the $500 billion city in the desert? It's going to become a tourist place.

Yeah, they all seem to be North Africans and sub-Saharan Africans for some reason.

OK, they're second and third generation.

They're not French.

Just because you speak French, you're not.

They were prohibited from going into areas that had been communist-controlled areas.

So many journalists were eager to look at the, that side of the war, and two journalists came to Quang Ngai, Frances FitzGerald, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her book, and they asked if we could find a way for them, a path or a guide, a way for them to get into territories that belonged to the National Liberation Front around Quang Ngai.

And since the whole city belonged to the Front, except for the very center of the city, it wasn't hard to get them access, but it, we wanted to get them safe access.

Mm.

So when I talked to Mai about helping me figure out how to, where they should enter the liberated territories, I mentioned that the w- journalist was Frances FitzGerald, and I th- I don't think even people on our team necessarily knew what a Pulitzer Prize winner was.

And for her, with an eighth-grade education and living in Vietnam, to say to me, "Oh, Frances FitzGerald, she won a Pulitzer Prize," I was like, "Oh." I was blown away.

So she was so excited that this would be a good person who would...

And indeed, she wrote five fe- I think five stories that came out in The New Yorker

Hello and welcome to the fourth season of the football podcast, the podcast where football meets politics.

I'm one of your co-hosts, Francesco Bercastro, and here with me is my other co-host, Walter Guy Burton.

Hello Guy, how are you? Hi Francesco, I'm doing well.

How are you doing today?

Good, I'm excited.

You can do that by accessing us on whichever platform it is that we that we come on.

And of course, when I mentioned the platforms, we should also talk about people can get in contact with us as well.

Right, Francesco?

And he said, no, not today.

And then further, JT, I heard a post-race interview with DiFrancesco, with Lewis Phillips, The Rockstar Husky team said, hey, we've been through this with Kitchen before with RJ Hampshire two years ago in Supercross.

Line up next to Kitchen.

He's not going to get the jump on you.

He spoke with Queen Elizabeth on the 25th and again on the 28th.

and on the second visit, he also saw her Secretary of State, Frances Walsingham.

That day, according to his diary, he set out for the Queen her title to Greenland, Estadeland, and Friesland.

The last two came from a Venetian chart of 1558, which I've previously discussed in another video, and neither existed where the chart put them.

For a young violinist of Corelli's ability, Rome in the 1670s was simultaneously the most competitive and the most opportunity-rich environment imaginable.

His first documented appearance in Roman musical life is a payment record from the chapel of San Luigi de Francesi on the 3rd of February 1675, where he was listed as a third violinist.

It is a modest beginning, third violin in a church ensemble is not the stuff of legend, but within a few years he was leading ensembles and directing concerts, and his reputation was growing rapidly.

Several of his potential rivals disappeared from Rome in convenient succession.

of sometimes startling size contemporary accounts describe performances he conducted involving more than a 100 musicians for a period that typically thought of music in terms of small ensembles this was a remarkable achievement a foretaste of the symphonic scale that would come to define concert life in later centuries chapter 3 final years After 1708, something shifted.

Corelli gradually withdrew from public performance.

He stopped appearing at the concerts at San Luigi de Francesi, where he had been a regular presence for decades.

He was replaced in the direction of the orchestra there by Matteo Fornari, his faithful companion stepping in to carry the weight of the public role as Corelli's energy for it diminished.

Then he sang another song.

His name was Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone.

He was the son of a cloth merchant, and nothing about him in that filthy dungeon in 1202 suggested that he was going to become one of the most consequential human beings in the history of the Catholic Church.

He was a rich kid.

His mother, Pica, was French, by tradition a noblewoman from Provence.

When she gave birth, while Pietro was away on a trading run, she named the baby Giovanni, John, after the Baptist.

But when Pietro came home from France, he was so taken with everything French that he started calling the boy Francesco, the little Frenchman.

The nickname stuck, and the world remembers him by it.
