This is a great and well reseached book on Justice K. The Ruth Marcus book is a badly written & reseached disaster. So many incorrect facts. Fake News, just like the @washingtonpost! https://t.co/i6GwghuEsU

One of the most iconic photos of American workers is not what it seems https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/09/01/one-most-iconic-photos-american-workers-is-not-what-it-seems/?tid=ss_tw

Photo buffs know the truth behind the classic photo: It was staged. The men in the picture were real ironworkers. They did build the structure that is now the 22nd tallest building in New York City and home to NBC studios. But rather than capture them in the midst of their lunch break, the photographer posed them on the beam for multiple takes — images that were intended as advertising for the new building. Some historians believe there was a sturdy level of the structure, then called the RCA building, just below the frame.

“You see the picture once, you never forget it," Rockefeller Center archivist Christine Roussel told Time magazine. But “the funniest part about the photographs," she said, "were they were done for publicity.”

“We already have a smoking gun about a campaign getting dirt on their opponent, it was Hillary Clinton. How is it OK for Hillary Clinton to proactively seek dirt from the Russians but the Trump campaign met at the Russians request and that is bad?” Marc Thiessen, Washington Post

Removed from U.S. Capitol, Lee statue will become museum exhibit of changing attitudes on race https://t.co/8vVU6bugc6

“Our hope is we will be able to interpret the statue in such a way that tells the story of the people, the place and the time in which Virginians lived,” said Andrew Talkov, the museum’s senior director for curatorial affairs. “Because it tells us about how people in Virginia wanted to remember the American Civil War in the early 20th century, and how that has changed over time to where we are today.”
