50/50 – U.S. Versus The World

As a commentator on human affairs, I really enjoy getting to see a lot of things going by. I have long been a proponent for women's rights; it began in the '80s for me—that's the 1980s, for those of you who weren't even born then. I was at Cal State, Fresno. It was a center of the feminist movement, and we enjoyed it and we got moving along, and everything was going on. AND as a professor who chose to teach a good number of courses in the evening, I was very, very, VERY privy to who was attending those classes.

It's The Next Mile

Captain Edward James Smith, known as E.J., was the most experienced of the White Star Line masters. He had over two million miles of safe experience—a long and admirable career. And he was the one selected to captain the maiden voyage of the Titanic, the largest, most luxurious passenger liner in history. Of course, you've seen the movie, you know the stories; it was a festive, festive time.

There's a scientist who studied Olympic swimmers—he studied them very much in depth, and he studied their records of progress, because they came from the ranks. But of course, by the time they're Olympic swimmers, they're way exceptional. As Weick and Browning note, "Olympic swimmers modify what they do, and do not simply do more of it."
