FDR's Last Speech -- An Extraordinarily Articulate Plea for Peace "The work, my friends, is peace. More than an end of this war, an end to the beginnings of all war." These were the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the speech he would never give. It was scheduled to be made on the radio to a Jefferson Day Dinner on April 13, 1945. But he died on April 12th, a day after reviewing and making several changes in the final draft.

Robocall Scourge We are being subject to a scourge of robocalls. Robocall Index reports 58 robocalls were made in the U.S. in 2019, up from 48.7 billion in 2018. In New York, a bill -- which passed its State Senate last year -- is pending in the State Assembly. The "Robocall Prevention Act" provides that a robocall can only be "made with the prior express consent of the called party." That's an ideal remedy and should go national.

The Woodward Interview of Trump "Trump's Agreeing to Talk to Woodward Shows Downside of Never Having Read a Book in Entire Life," was the headline of a satirical piece this week by Andy Borowitz of The New Yorker. Bt I think the prime reason why he went for an interview by Woodward is because as a con man he figured he could con even a great investigative reporter.

Science and Scientific Vested Interests There is science -- and then there is scientific vested interests. There is a major push for making science the basis for governmental decision-making. But what about the push by some scientists to politically further areas of science and technology that they favor. Science might be objective -- but that doesn't mean all scientists are.

A Highly Aggressive U.S. "Defense Space Strategy" The United States "must be capable of winning wars that extend into space", asserts a just-released "Defense Space Strategy" report. It is the first space-strategy document issued by the U.S. since President Donald Trump, after declaring that the U.S. must achieve "dominance in space", signed a measure this past December authorizing establishing a Space Force.

Why so many? A Pentagon official is quoted in the current issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology as saying "we have to be careful we're not building boutique weapons. If we build boutique weapons, we won't -- we'll be very reluctant -- to use them."b

Trump Push for Offshore Oil Drilling The Trump administration is pushing for offshore oil drilling although it is regularly disastrous -- and unnecessary amid a worldwide glut of oil. The Trump drive is strongly opposed by coastal states and environmental organizations.

Vested Interest, Self-Interest -- Keys To How Things Happen or Don't Happen Vested interest, self-interest are keys to how things happen and don't happen. Take the story of the effort on Long Island to ban the mass release-of helium-filled balloons that cause enormous harm to marine life. It was fought by something called The Balloon Council, which has succeeded in stopping similar efforts elsewhere, but it became law nevertheless in Long Island's Suffolk County.

50th Anniversary of the End of Annual Police Raid on Gay Communities on Fire Island Fifty years ago what had been an outrageous annual tradition on New York's Long Island--a police raid on gay communities on Fire Island--came to an end.
