“Consider the death of Princess Diana. This accident involved an English citizen, with an Egyptian boyfriend, crashed in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian, who was drunk on Scotch whiskey, followed closely by Italian paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, and finally treated with Brazilian medicines by an American doctor. In this case, even leaving aside the fame of the victims, a mere neighborhood canvass would hardly have completed the forensic picture, as it might have a generation before.” MightCasesGenerationsCarCitizensInvolvedFameDoctorsVictimMedicineMereLeavingAccidentsDrivenDrivingTreatedDrunkNeighborhoodItalianEnginesPrincessGlobalizationRoyaltyTunnelsWhiskeyMotorcycleDutchEgyptianPaparazziScotchDianaCar AccidentForensicsBelgiansDrunk DrivingScotch WhiskeyCanvassing Author:Mark Riebling
“The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride he will see to it that others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own. Probably the best test of true love of liberty in any country is the way in which minorities are treated in that country.

“Men ruled the roost and women played a subservient role [in the 1960s]. Working wives were a rarity, because their place was in the home, bringing up the kids. The women who did work were treated as second-class citizens because it was a male-dominated society. That was a fact of life then. But it wouldn't be tolerated today, and that's quite right in my book... people look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful, white male.” PeopleIfsMenLooksBookHardFactsHomeKidsTodayWhitePowerfulClassRolesRichWifeCitizensMalesNostalgiaTreatedThickVeils1960sFacts Of LifeSubservientRaritySecond Class CitizensRoost Author:Jon Hamm
