RE: Extra Credit Questions - mbgross - 03-02-2025
Don't know if anybody got to see the podcast with Professor Carwardine on the GL site yet, but it was amazing. I look forward to reading the book.
Elizabeth Taylor. I don't guess I am disclosing any State secrets or that the professor would mind.
I do not recall the story exactly as it was a few years and brews ago.
But, Professor Carwardine had a small part in some production of Taylor's. The crew had the day off, and the young actor felt honored to be invited to a party that Taylor and the other big-name actors were attending. The party was on a rooftop with a pool. They spent most of the day out there. The Professor received a terrible sunburn. What was cool and amazing was that Elizabeth Taylor took the time and called to check in on him the next day. The good professor never forgot her act of kindness and sympathy towards him.

I have long remembered the basics of the following story from many, many years ago and I was very impressed by what she had done:
On the evening of May 12, 1956, while filming Raintree County, [Montgomery] Clift was involved in a serious car crash after leaving a dinner party in Beverly Hills, California, hosted by Elizabeth Taylor and her husband, Michael Wilding.[49] Clift had veered off one of the twisting hairpin turns and smashed into a telephone pole and the surrounding cliffside. Alerted by friend Kevin McCarthy, who witnessed the collision, Taylor found Clift under the shattered dashboard, conscious but with his face bleeding and swelling rapidly.[50] She pulled out a hanging tooth that was cutting into his tongue before accompanying him into the ambulance. [51]

Who is this (no Googling , please)
Double Left click to enlarge
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-11-2025
Warren Harding?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-11-2025
No, Roger. Thanks for having a go. Up early , so you get first clue.
I was searching the internet in connection with a word that is very much in the News right now. This person did some work relevant to the 'word'.
His father was an Irish patriot and became a US citizen.... that won't help much. Sorry.

The man in the picture gave Lincoln advice upon which he relied to a very great extent.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 03-11-2025
I'm stuck.
Was this person serving in federal government service during the Civil War?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-11-2025
Gene, he was very much involved in providing advice to the federal government service during the Civil War.
It may help to say that he was opposed to the British free-trade system.
Before the Civil War he worked as a journalist. On the same newspaper was a journalist of foreign extraction ... he and the person in the picture had conflicting opinions but there was some mutual respect.
Maybe ... you could guess that 'word' I was interested in. The word that is appearing in the financial headlines.
Strangely enough, he "supported" the Russians in their fight against Britain ... in the Crimea.

Is the mystery word "tariff" ?
I'm still at a loss on who the man of mystery is?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-11-2025
Yes, well done Gene! Now, you need a connection to Lincoln and Tariff....
Sorry for delay. Sleep took priority.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - mbgross - 03-11-2025
Lord Palmerston?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-11-2025
No, sorry, Mike. My person disliked the British.
I'm tempted to allow googling, because I didn't know about this person until yesterday.
Google is fine. Go for it.
This man didn’t trust Cameron. Lincoln , and others, relied on him for advice.
Marx thought him dangerous.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 03-11-2025
Henry Charles Carey (thanks google & wikipedia)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Charles_Carey
and if you are really into all this talk about tariffs and economics there's this article (skip half way down and it almost gets interesting)
https://www.abrahamlincolnsclassroom.org/abraham-lincoln-in-depth/abraham-lincoln-and-the-tariff/index.html
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-11-2025
Yes, Gene. Henry Charles Carey is the answer.
The 'classroom' link is the one that led me to the question.
The wikipedia link says that Karl Marx referred to Carey as the "only American economist of importance" and described Carey's theories as the chief obstacle to communist revolution in the United States. He pledged to wage "hidden warfare" against Carey.
Yes, its a dry subject but I'm surprised (having read about him) that Carey isnt better known.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 03-11-2025
That was a tough one.
At least I learned that Lincoln was in favor of tariffs.
