Dove si stava facendo la storia, Sander Vanocur era spesso lì con domande difficili. Il giornalista pionieristico che ha coperto la politica per la televisione e la stampa per più di 40 anni è morto di complicazioni dovute alla demenza lunedì 16 settembre 2019, mentre si trovava in ospedale a Santa Barbara, in California, secondo Il New York Times. Aveva 91 anni.

Vanocur è stato uno dei quattro giornalisti presenti nel panel del primo dibattito presidenziale televisivo tra Richard Nixon e John F. Kennedy, seguito da 70 milioni di telespettatori nel 1960. Più di tre decenni dopo, è stato uno dei relatori del dibattito tra George HW Bush, Bill Clinton e Ross Perot nel 1992.

Ha anche ospitato due serie sulla STORIA, Movies in Time e Storia & # x2019; s Business. Per Movies in Time, una volta ha intervistato Oliver Stone e Anthony Hopkins sul film del 1995 Nixon, confrontando le rappresentazioni del film con gli eventi storici reali. & # x201C; È & # x2019; s nell'occhio di chi guarda, & # x201D; Vanocur ha detto al Los Angeles Times della sua precisione. & # x201C; Una parte di me si ribella all'allentamento dei fatti. L'altra parte afferma che le persone hanno il diritto di interpretare la storia a modo loro ... Penso che stia mettendo in risalto le sue opinioni e le inserisca nel film, che è il suo diritto. Ma è una storia accurata? Non credo. # #2201D; penso di sì. & # X201D;

Lui stesso è apparso anche nei film come giornalista, con apparizioni nel 1971 La banda che non poteva sparare dritto, 1980 & # x2019; s Alza il Titanic, 1993 & # x2019; s Dave, 1996 & # x2019; s Scappare con l'omicidio e 1994 & # x2019; s Senza attenzione.Ha anche ricevuto il premio E. Van Scripps School of Journalism & # x2019; Carr Van Anda.

Nato l'8 gennaio 1928 a Cleveland, il suo nome era originariamente scritto Sander Vinocur. Ma dopo che sua madre e il padre avvocato divorziarono, si trasferì con i suoi figli a Peoria, nell'Illinois, e cambiò l'ortografia del loro cognome in Vanocur perché era arrabbiata con il vecchio, & # x201D; come Il New York Times dice Vanocur al giornale di San Pietroburgo, in Florida, The Evening Independent.

Vanocur si è laureato alla Western Military Academy di Alton, nell'Illinois e alla Northwestern University, e ha anche studiato alla London School of Economics. Ha anche prestato servizio nell'esercito.

Ha iniziato la sua carriera come reporter per The Manchester Guardian e ha lavorato per la BBC e la CBS News, prima di andare Il New York Times nel 1955. Nel 1957 si trasferì alla NBC News dove ricoprì diversi ruoli come corrispondente della Casa Bianca, Oggi mostra corrispondente D.C., Il Rapporto Huntley-Brinkley editore collaboratore e Primo martedì ospite. All'inizio degli anni '70 lasciò la NBC per la PBS, seguita da un periodo di lavoro Il Washington Post dal 1975 al 1977 e ABC News dal 1977 al 1991.

Tra le sue interviste più importanti c'erano la conversazione con Martin Luther King, Jr., presso la chiesa battista di Ebenezer meno di un anno prima che fosse assassinato e Robert Kennedy a Los Angeles presso l'Ambassador Hotel, poco prima che Kennedy fosse ucciso nel 1968.

& # x201C; Sono & # x2019; m un forte sostenitore della libertà di stampa & # x2014; purché abbiano qualcosa da dire, & # x201D; ha detto nel 2004 in un discorso alla Stanford University.

Vanocur era anche consulente presso il Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, professore di comunicazione alla Duke University, residenza professionale presso il Freedom Forum di Arlington, in Virginia, e aveva una propria attività di consulenza in comunicazione, Old Owl Communications.

Era sposato con Edith Pick nel 1956 e aveva due figli, Christoper e Nicholas. Dopo la morte di Pick nel 1975, sposò Virginia Backus Vancour, che gli sopravvive. È sopravvissuto anche a una figliastra, Daphne Wood Hicks.

    He thought the guy he met on vacation was just a fling. He turned out to be the love of his life [url=https://sites.google.com/view/pancakeswap-exchange-v2/pancakeswap]Pancakeswap[/url] Guillermo Barrantes relationship with Larry Mock was supposed to begin and end in Palm Springs. It was a “casual, brief encounter.” A vacation dalliance that only lasted half a day. “It was just so casual, so easily nothing could have happened from it,” Guillermo tells CNN Travel. “We could have walked away and just had our lives separate. But of course that didn’t happen, because it wasn’t meant to be that way. It was meant to be the way that it was. That it is.” It all started in summer 2013. Guillermo - then in his early 40s - was on vacation in the California resort city of Palm Springs. He was in a phase of life where, he says, he was prioritizing himself, and wasn’t interested in long term romance. “I thrived in being by myself, in traveling by myself, in having dinner by myself – I loved all of that so much,” says Guillermo, who lived in Boston, Massachusetts at the time. “I wanted no commitment, I wanted no emotional entanglement of any kind. I wanted to have fun, get to know myself. And it was in that mode that I met Larry, when I wasn’t really looking.” During the vacation in Palm Springs, Guillermo was staying at a friend’s apartment, and while the friend worked during the day, Guillermo passed his time at a “run-down, no-frills” resort a couple of blocks away. “You could just pay for a day pass, they’d give you a towel, and you could be in the pool and use their bar,” he recalls. One day, as he was walking the palm tree-lined streets to the resort, Guillermo swiped right on a guy on a dating app – Larry Mock, mid-40s, friendly smile. The two men exchanged a few messages back and forth. Larry said he was also on vacation in Palm Springs, staying in the resort Guillermo kept frequenting. They arranged to meet there for a drink by the pool. Guillermo was looking forward to meeting Larry, expecting “some casual fun.” Then, when Guillermo and Larry met, there was “chemistry” right away. Guillermo calls their connection “magnetic.” “My impression of Larry: sexy, handsome and warm,” he recalls.

    Bug-bitten oolong? The secret behind Taiwan’s rare honey-flavored tea — and where to enjoy it <a href=https://sites.google.com/view/ethena/ethena-fi>Ethena</a> As the leaves rustle atop the hills in Nantou, Taiwan’s largest tea-producing area, the farm suddenly comes alive, millions of tiny green bugs hopping into the air. While many farmers might frown at the sight of these pests munching on their crops, Lee Ming-cheng, a third-generation tea farmer and maker, can’t hide the broad smile on his sun-kissed face. This “green insect fog,” as locals call it, is a sign they’ll have a good harvest of Gui Fei Oolong (also known as Honey Flavor Dong Ding Oolong or Concubine Oolong), a special tea that’s prized for offering a hint of honey flavor. And it’s these endemic insects, called Jacobiasca formosana, or tea jassids, that are to thank for it. When the jassids feed, the leaves go into defensive mode and produce a sweetened hormone that tastes and smells like honey, creating one of the world’s most intriguing teas: mixiang cha, or honey-fragrance tea. The bug-bitten leaves are oxidized and roasted to create a variety of beverages. There’s mixiang black tea (made with fully oxidized leaves) and oolong teas like Oriental Beauty (partially oxidized and not roasted) and the previously mentioned Concubine Tea (partially oxidized and roasted), to name a few. Unlike Taiwan’s ubiquitous bubble tea, mixiang tea is still highly limited and largely off-the-radar. But what was once a hidden gem among serious tea lovers is now starting to gain international attention.

    The Australian city that became a global food and drink powerhouse <a href=https://sites.google.com/view/defillama-defi-dashboard/defillama>Defillama</a> Sydney or Melbourne? It’s the great Australian city debate, one which pits the commerce, business and money of Sydney against cultural, arts-loving, coffee-drinking Melbourne. While picking one can be tricky, there’s no denying that Australia’s second city, home to 5.2 million people, has a charm all of its own. Melburnians (never Melbournites) get to enjoy a place where nature is close by, urban delights are readily available and the food and drink scene isn’t just the best in Australia, but also one of the finest in the world. There’s no better way to start a trip to Melbourne than with a proper cup of coffee. Coffee is serious stuff here, with no room for a weak, burnt or flavorless brew. The history of coffee in Melbourne goes back to the years after World War II, when Italian immigrants arrived and brought their machines with them. Within 30 years, a thriving cafe scene had developed and, as the 21st century dawned, the city had become the epicenter of a new global coffee culture. The iconic Pellegrini’s on Bourke Street and Mario’s in the Fitzroy neighborhood are the best old-school hangouts, while Market Lane helped lead the way in bringing Melbourne’s modern-day coffee scene to the masses. Kate Reid is the best person to speak with about Melbourne’s coffee obsession. The founder of Lune Croissanterie, she was once a Formula 1 design engineer and has brought her expertise and precision to crafting the world’s best croissant, as well as knowing how to brew a coffee, and specifically a flat white, just the way it should be. “Good coffee is just ingrained in everyday culture for every single Melburnian now,” says Reid. “I think that that peak of pretentious specialty coffee has come and gone, and now it’s just come down to a level of a really high standard everywhere.” That’s clear when she pours a flat white. Describing herself as a perfectionist, the way she froths the milk and tends to the cup is a sight to behold.
