What Theodore Roosevelt said was not “walk softly but carry a big stick” as is often mis-quoted. He gave his famous quote during a speech in 1903:
There is a homely old adage which runs: “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far.

The world’s fastest-growing airline and one of the most extravagant began nonstop flights between Los Angeles and Dubai this week, and tonight it will throw one of the more lavish Hollywood parties of the season. Despite global economic turmoil, Emirates Airline, based in the hyper-developing Persian Gulf city of Dubai, is expected to spend more than $3 million for the bash at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, hosted by Hilary Swank and featuring an hourlong concert by Ricky Martin. A four-course dinner is being prepared by Wolfgang Puck. The start of flights to Los Angeles International Airport is the latest link in a growing Dubai connection that has included an investment fund controlled by Dubai’s ruling family taking a 45% stake in Eli Broad’s multibillion-dollar Grand Avenue project in downtown Los Angeles.

The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching. John Wooden said that; being noble and upstanding is easy enough when you’ve got people watching, but when you’re alone with yourself, when you could do the wrong thing (or avoid the right thing) and get away with it, well — that’s when you find out what kind of person you are.

Andalusian culture was deeply influenced by over 700 years of Muslim rule during the Middle Ages. Córdoba became the largest and richest city in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world. The Arabs established universities in Andalusia (Spain), and cultivated scholarship, bringing together the greatest achievements of all of the civilizations they had encountered. During that period Arab scholars played a major part in reviving and contributing to Western astronomy, medicine, philosophy, and mathematics. Columbus’ sail to the “New World” in 1492 opened the Caribbean and South America to Spain and introduced new forms of sic and dance to Spain. In Puerto Rico one of the islands colonized by the Spaniards, Jibaro music represents the mix of the musical traditions of Spain with its Arabic influences, particularly in the performance of the “Seis”. Seis is a form of Jibaro music and dance that came to Puerto Rico from Spain in the 1680’s.

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich begins her new book, “Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History”, struggling to explain — understand — the appeal of an aside she made in the spring 1976 issue of an academic journal, a comment that has become a popular slogan printed on T-shirts and coffee mugs and bumper stickers, usually without her permission and often without attribution.
It was in an article for “American Quarterly”, about the pious and extremely well-behaved colonial women described by Cotton Mather as “the hidden ones,” that Ulrich made her now familiar observation . Her study of wives and mothers and daughters as they were remembered in funeral eulogies, the sole record of women who lived and labored in silent obscurity, illustrates a critical point. Much of what is characterized as female “misbehavior” is a matter of voice — of a woman insisting she be heard, paid not only attention, but also the respect due a being as fully human and necessary as a man.
