Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world. Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom—for idealism itself—against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism, and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly.

Mary Welsh, a celebrated wartime journalist during the London Blitz and the liberation of Paris, meets Ernest Hemingway in May 1944. He becomes so infatuated with Mary that he asks her to marry him the third time they meet—although they are married to other people. Eventually, she succumbs to Ernest's campaign, and in the last days of the war joined him at his estate in Cuba. Through Mary's eyes, we see Ernest Hemingway in a fresh light. Their turbulent marriage survives his cruelty and abuse, perhaps because of their sexual compatibility and her essential contribution to his writing.

Initially just a fan, he started blogging about the contest, ultimately becoming the most sought-after expert on the subject.

Oltre cento interviste distribuite nell'arco di quattro decenni: il più imponente corpus disponibile di autocommenti calviniani. L'effetto è quello di un grande cantiere autobiografico: un'autobiografia in progress, mobile e sfaccettata, costruita per successive espansioni. Un'autopresentazione simile a un prisma rotante che prende forma davanti ai nostri occhi, senza mai consentire una visione completa e stabilizzata. Proprio così, forse, Calvino avrebbe desiderato apparire: coerente ma non inerte, dinamico senza essere dispersivo, e intento a un'assidua costruzione di sé.

Anni fa, sulle rive del lago Bajkal, in Siberia, una donna mi lesse la mano. E un paio di anni dopo un bramino della città sacra di Vrindavan, in India, guardò nel mio futuro. Entrambi mi raccontarono delle stesse gioie che mi avrebbe riservato la vita. E della morte. Prematura e violenta. Che dovrebbe cogliermi tra poco.Alcune tra le cose predette si sono avverate. Altre non saprei. Le parole si sono perse nel tempo insieme alle cose a cui non do importanza. Ma con l’avvicinarsi di quell’appuntamento mi sono ritrovato a concentrarmi su un errore della divinazione.

For more than thirty years, Andy Rooney had the last word on the most-watched television program in history. "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney"—a segment on 60 Minutes—aired from 1978 to 2011.

When Ted Turner started out in business, he owned a small billboard company in rural Georgia. Over the decades, he built a multi-billion empire that included CNN, Turner Classic Movies (TCM), MGM studios, and the Atlanta Braves. Risk-taking, careful planning, and steely determination are the hallmarks of this brash, outspoken, and wildly successful media mogul. On the other side of the world, his counterpart—Australian-born Rupert Murdoch—began with one small newspaper and parlayed it into more than 100 newspapers and magazines around the globe.

Vent’anni fa ci lasciava Indro Montanelli, il giornalista che ha attraversato tutto il Novecento e lo ha raccontato a lungo con la sua verve e il suo piglio controcorrente. Nato a Fucecchio nel 1909, cominciò la sua carriera «dentro alla cronaca» nella guerra d’Abissinia. Da allora, tutti i grandi eventi storici lo videro in prima linea: era nella Spagna della guerra civile, in Polonia quando i panzer tedeschi scatenarono il secondo conflitto mondiale, nei Paesi baltici e nella Finlandia calpestati dai carri armati sovietici.
