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.

Medical staff on the front line of the battle against mpox in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have told the BBC they are desperate for vaccines to arrive so they can stem the rate of new infections. <a href=https://bls2tor.net>blackspfgh3bi6im374fgl54qliir6to37txpkkd6ucfiu7whfy2odid.onion</a> At a treatment centre in South Kivu province that the BBC visited in the epicentre of the outbreak, they say more patients are arriving every day - especially babies - and there is a shortage of essential equipment. СЃРїСЂСѓС‚ Р·РµСЂРєР°Р»Рѕ https://www.bs2tsite5-cc.net Mpox - formerly known as monkeypox - is a highly contagious disease and has killed at least 635 people in DR Congo this year. Even though 200,000 vaccines, donated by the European Commission, were flown into the capital, Kinshasa, last week, they are yet to be transported across this vast country - and it could be several weeks before they reach South Kivu. “We've learned from social media that the vaccine is already available,” Emmanuel Fikiri, a nurse working at the clinic that has been turned into a specialist centre to tackle the virus, told the BBC. He said this was the first time he had treated patients with mpox and every day he feared catching it and passing it on to his own children - aged seven, five and one. “You saw how I touched the patients because that's my job as a nurse. So, we're asking the government to help us by first giving us the vaccines.” The reason it will take time to transport the vaccines is that they need to be stored at a precise temperature - below freezing - to maintain their potency, plus they need to be sent to rural areas of South Kivu, like Kamituga, Kavumu and Lwiro, where the outbreak is rife. The lack of infrastructure and bad roads mean that helicopters could possibly be used to drop some of the vaccines, which will further drive up costs in a country that is already struggling financially. At the community clinic, Dr Pacifique Karanzo appeared fatigued and downbeat having been rushed off his feet all morning. Although he wore a face shield, I could see the sweat running down his face. He said he was saddened to see patients sharing beds. “You will even see that the patients are sleeping on the floor,” he told me, clearly exasperated. “The only support we have already had is a little medicine for the patients and water. As far as other challenges are concerned, there's still no staff motivation.” <a href=https://clear-bs2tor2.net>bs2best.at</a>

‘A short and significant relationship’: How a piano in a pickup builds connections [url=https://sites.google.com/view/metamask-wallet-apps/metamask]Metamask[/url] Dozens of internationally renowned recording artists give concerts in Vegas every year, but the musician who connects best with people might be a local troubadour who improvises on a piano in the back of his pickup. The maestro, Danny Kean, calls his setup The Traveling Piano, and he has traversed North America sharing music for nearly 20 years. Kean’s home base is Las Vegas now, and every time he plays, he invites passersby to climb aboard the truck and tickle the ivory for themselves. Even if people are shy or say they can’t do it, Kean usually convinces them to give it a try, inspiring total strangers to express themselves through the common language of music. He estimates more than 100,000 people have played his piano since 2006. For most of these impromptu virtuosos, the experience is cathartic — many of them step down from the truck in tears. For Kean, 69, the encounters nourish his soul. “I enjoy sharing my music with others, but I enjoy having others share theirs with me just as much,” he said. “My goal is to connect with others by creating a short and significant relationship. Music is a great facilitator for that in every way and on every level.” Kean does not accept fees or tips for these musical awakenings, giving away time and energy for nothing in return. He practices philanthropy in other ways, too, providing food and other necessities for the burgeoning population of unhoused individuals in downtown Las Vegas and around the Las Vegas Valley. “I love the idea of strangers becoming less afraid of each other,” he said. “This love for humanity drives me to keep doing good.”
