Winston Churchill was a British statesman and politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice, from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, leading Britain through its darkest hour during World War II.
Churchill was born in 1874 and was educated at Harrow and Sandhurst. He began his career in the British Army and later transitioned into politics, serving as a Member of Parliament for over 60 years. He held several government positions throughout his career, including as the First Lord of the Admiralty, Minister of Munitions, and Secretary of State for War.

He made powerful speeches that rallied the nation and inspired the British people to keep fighting, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. His speeches are widely considered to be some of the greatest in history, with phrases such as "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never" and "We shall fight on the beaches" becoming famous.
One of Churchill's greatest achievements as Prime Minister was his strong alliance with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. Together, they led the Allied powers to victory over Nazi Germany.
After World War II, Churchill served as Prime Minister again from 1951 to 1955 but was defeated in the general election. He remained an active Member of Parliament until 1964 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953 for his six-volume memoir of the war. He died in 1965 at the age of 90.

Archibald Cox (1912–2004), a distinguished lawyer, is best known for his role as special prosecutor in the Watergate investigation. Still, his career also involved him in a number of First Amendment issues. Cox's won First Amendment cases during the Civil Rights era. Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, Cox graduated from Harvard Law School in 1937.
In 1961 President John F. Kennedy, for whom Cox had previously served as a speechwriter and adviser, appointed him as solicitor general. In this capacity, Cox won various cases defending the expressive rights of civil rights protesters. His success includes Bell v. Maryland (1964) and Griffin v. Maryland (1964), in which he persuaded the Supreme Court to uphold sit-ins on relatively narrow grounds.
In 1965 Cox returned to his former position on the faculty at Harvard Law School. He wrote a report for Columbia University dealing with student protests at that institution and helped guide Harvard University’s policies in response to student anti-war protests from 1969 to 1972. Cox was a special prosecutor in the Watergate scandal
In May 1973, Attorney General Elliot Richardson appointed Cox the first special prosecutor in the Watergate scandal. Cox’s investigation contributed to the chain of events leading to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon. After testimony revealed that the Nixon administration had installed a recording device in the Oval Office, Cox subpoenaed tapes of conversations that took place there.
When Nixon refused to turn over the tapes, citing executive privilege, Cox took the matter to court. Finding that the president was not above the law, the courts ordered Nixon to give the tapes to Cox. The president instead offered to supply Cox with transcripts. When Cox rejected this approach, Nixon ordered him fired.
Rather than carry out Nixon’s order, Attorney General Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus resigned. Solicitor General Robert Bork then agreed to fire Cox. The resignations and firing became known as the “Saturday night massacre.” These events elicited protests and call for Nixon’s impeachment. Nixon eventually conceded, relinquishing the tapes to the new special prosecutor, Leon Jaworski.
Cox was chairman of the campaign finance reform organization. Cox served as the chairman of Common Cause; a nonprofit lobbying organization focused on campaign finance reform that helped secure the decision in Buckley v. Valeo (1976) upholding much of the Federal Election Reform Act of 1974. He received the Paul Douglas Ethics in Government Award in 1995 and a Thomas “Tip” O’Neill Citizenship Award.

Milo Yiannopoulos is a New York Times-bestselling author, an award-winning reporter, an international political celebrity, a hair icon, a penitent, and, to the annoyance of his many enemies, an exceedingly happy person. He is the most censored, most lied-about man in the world, banned from stepping foot on entire continents for his unapologetic commitment to free expression.&nbsp;
He is also one of the most sought-after speakers anywhere, invited by foreign governments, wealthy individuals, and even the occasional courageous private company to share his unique blend of laughter and war. Milo lurches from improbable triumph to improbable triumph, loathed by Establishment Left and Right alike. His first book, Dangerous, sold over 200,000 copies, despite never being reviewed in any major publication.&nbsp;
Milo hosts a Friday night chat show on Censored.TV, which he describes as “a weekly late-night extravaganza of righteous indignation and casual cruelty.” Milo Yiannopoulos (born on 18 October 1984)is a British journalist, author, entrepreneur, public speaker, and former senior editor for Breitbart News. He wrote previously using the pseudonym, Milo Andreas Wagner.
Yiannopoulos founded The Kernel, an online tabloid magazine about technology, which he sold to Daily Dot Media in 2014. He wrote about the Gamergate controversy. As a self-proclaimed "cultural libertarian" and "free speech fundamentalist," he is a vocal critic of fourth-wave feminism, Islam, social justice, political correctness, and other movements and ideologies he deems authoritarian or belonging to the "regressive left."&nbsp;
Yiannopoulos considers himself a reporter of and "occasional fellow traveler" with the alt-right movement. He was permanently banned from Twitter in July 2016 for what the company cited as "inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others." He resigned from Breitbart after a video of him allegedly defending sexual relationships between boys as young as 13 and gay men in their 20s resurfaced

Stewart Brand is an American writer best known as the editor of the Whole Earth Catalog. He founded several organizations, including The WELL, the Global Business Network, and the Long Now Foundation. He is the author of several books, most recently Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto.
Brand was born in Rockford, Illinois, and attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He studied biology at Stanford University, graduating in 1960. As a soldier in the U.S. Army, he was a parachutist and taught infantry skills; he later expressed that his military experience had fostered his competence in organizing. A civilian again in 1962, he studied design at San Francisco Art Institute, photography at San Francisco State College, and participated in a legitimate scientific study of then-legal LSD in Menlo Park, California. In 1966, he married mathematician Lois Jennings, an Ottawa Native American.
Brand has lived in California since the 1960s. He and his second wife live on Mirene, a 64-foot (20 m)-long working tugboat. Built-in 1912, the boat is moored in a former shipyard in Sausalito, California. In addition, he works in Mary Heartline, a grounded fishing boat about 100 yards (90 meters) away. One of his favorite items is a table on which Otis Redding is said to have written "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." (Brand acquired it from an antique dealer in Sausalito.)
By the mid-1960s, Brand became associated with New York multimedia group USCO and Bay Area author Ken Kesey and his "Merry Pranksters." Brand co-produced the Trips Festival, an early effort involving rock music and light shows, in San Francisco with Kesey and Ramón Sender Barayón. This was one of the first venues at which the Grateful Dead performed in San Francisco. About 10,000 hippies attended, and Haight-Ashbury soon emerged as a community. Tom Wolfe describes Brand in his 1968 book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
The Whole Earth Catalog implied an ideal of human progress that depended on decentralized, personal, and liberating technological development—so‑called "soft technology." However, in 2005 he criticized aspects of the international environmental ideology he had helped to develop. He wrote an article called "Environmental Heresies" in the May 2005 issue of the MIT Technology Review, in which he describes what he considers necessary changes to environmentalism. He suggested, among other things, that environmentalists embrace nuclear power and genetically modified organisms as technologies with more promise than risk.
Brand later developed these ideas into a book and published the Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto in 2009. The book examines how urbanization, nuclear power, genetic engineering, geoengineering, and wildlife restoration can be powerful tools in humanity's ongoing fight against global warming. In a 2019 interview, Brand described his perspective as "post-libertarian," indicating that when the Whole Earth Catalog was being written, he did not fully understand the significance of the government's role in developing technology and engineering. In his environmental position, he self-describes as an "Eco-pragmatist."

In 2015, Deaton won that year's Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Deaton was "delighted" and described himself as "someone who's concerned with the poor of the world and how people behave, and what gives them a good life." The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that economic policy intended to reduce poverty could only be designed once individuals' consumption choices were understood, saying, "More than anyone else, Angus Deaton has enhanced this understanding. By linking detailed individual choices and aggregate outcomes, his research has helped transform the fields of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and development economics". Deaton is also the author of "Letters from America," a popular semi-annual feature in the Royal Economic Society Newsletter.

Salena Zito, a national political reporter, will deliver a public lecture at Washington and Lee University on Monday, November 12, at 5:30 p.m. in Northen Auditorium. She will speak on the electoral shift that supported Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 and reflect upon the midterm elections. Her talk is part of the University’s “Conversations in the Age of Trump” series.
Zito is the co-author of “The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics.” “While much has been written at the macro-level about the 2016 election and the rise of populism around the world, Zito and her co-author Brad Todd draw upon a rich trove of survey data that demonstrates the many diverse aspects of the 2016 vote,” said Mark Rush, Waxberg Professor of Politics and Law.
Zito is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and worked for The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for eleven years. In 2016, she joined the New York Post. She presently acts as an analyst for CNN and a staff reporter and columnist for the Washington Examiner. “This is an exciting opportunity to hear on-the-ground accounts of why voters changed their minds in 2016 and to ponder what changes will occur in upcoming presidential elections.&nbsp;
Insofar as Zito will visit just after the 2018 election, her talk will offer a timely reflection on whether this midterm follows or departs from the typical pattern of rejecting the party of the president in power,” said Rush. While on campus, Zito will also participate in a lunch colloquium with a small group of students and faculty.

In 'Portfolios of the Poor', Daryl Collins takes us on a journey to explore the financial lives of the world's poorest people. He reveals that they are not just surviving, but actively managing their financial situation with complex strategies and tools.

Understanding the Financial Lives of the Poor

The book highlights the importance of microfinance in poverty alleviation. It shows how small loans and savings accounts can make a big difference in the lives of the poor, allowing them to invest in their future and break the cycle of poverty.

The Importance of Microfinance

Collins digs into the role of informal financial services, like moneylenders and rotating savings clubs. He finds that these services, often overlooked by traditional financial institutions, play a crucial role in helping the poor manage their money.

The Role of Informal Financial Services

One key takeaway from 'Portfolios of the Poor' is the need for more flexible financial products. The poor often face unpredictable income and expenses, and they need financial tools that can adapt to their unique circumstances.

The Need for Flexible Financial Products

The book uses financial diaries, a research tool that tracks every penny spent and earned, to shed light on the financial lives of the poor. This approach provides a detailed and nuanced picture of how the poor manage their money, offering valuable insights for policymakers and financial institutions.
