“I'm not a big crime reader, but I'm reading Michael Connelly's 'The Reversal.' I'm going back to his novels. I'm also reading Keith Richards' 'Life.' I'm always fascinated by the transition from the innocent late '60s and early '70s and the youth culture becoming an industry.” BigsCultureReadingNovelCrimeYouthIndustryReaderBecomingLateInnocentTransitionFascinatedKeithReversalYouth Culture Author:Jo Nesbo
“I studied cinema at the university so I had a very classical approach to it. I studied all those silent films, and then the films from the 1940's, the Nouvelle Vague, the late Hollywood films. Now I realize, as a young actor, that it's one of my duties to actually be aware of what is today's industry and today's next big directors.” BigsTodayFilmYoungNextActorsRealizingDutyIndustryDirectorsLateApproachHollywoodSilentUniversityCinemaVagueYoung ActorsHollywood FilmsSilent Films Author:Gaspard Ulliel
“Despite the Internet 's origin in the late 1960s as a government sponsored means of communication between the Department of Defense, private industry, and academia, it has been at its best and generated the greatest economic, social, and technological benefits since it was 'liberated' by the hordes of 'geeks' who were originally hired to run it by employers who were not themselves conversant with computers, and couldn't tell when their employees were exchanging official traffic or trading dirty jokes and recipes for marijuana brownies.” MeanHas BeensGovernmentRunningSocialEconomicCommunicationIndustryInternetBenefitsComputerLateJokesDefenseDespiteDirtyOfficialsDepartmentEmployeeMarijuanaTrafficTechnologicalRecipesTradingGeekEmployers1960sLiberatedAcademiaHordeExchangingBrowniesMeans Of CommunicationDirty Jokes Author:L.

“In our own native land, in defense of the freedom that is our birthright and which we ever enjoyed till the late violation of it. For the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our fore-fathers and ourselves, against violence actually offered, we have taken up arms.

“In the late 1930s, both the British and American movie industries made a succession of films celebrating the decency of the British Empire in order to challenge the threatening tide of Nazism and fascism and also to provide employment for actors from Los Angeles's British colony.

“At any point in the world's history most architecture is going to be bad but I think there's been a collective mentality since the late Conservative years - the end of Thatcher/start of Major and certainly continued throughout New Labour and continuing now - that new is necessarily better, so there is this neophilia which isn't the vanguard of progress, it's just the vanguard of the construction industry enjoying itself.” ThinkingWorldYearsEndsEnjoyProgressIndustryLateMajorsConservativeArchitectureLabourCollectivesConstructionMentalityContinuingVanguardConstruction Industry Author:Jonathan Meades
“I try to look at the evolution of these utopian claims. In the late '60s there was an assumption that the wealth generated by industry would be taxed and then put into social programs and it would provide a baseline of stability that would allow people to have the time for self-expression; and that social contract has eroded over the last four decades and now it's every person for themselves.” PeopleTryingLooksPersonsSelfWould BeLastsSocialWealthFourExpressionIndustryEvolutionLateProgramClaimsDecadesAssumptionContractsStabilitySelf ExpressionUtopianSocial ContractSocial Programs Author:Astra Taylor
