Eckhardt had found expression for his creative side in various ways aU his life. He'd executed murals and paintings during his years at UT and written poetry and journalism as weU. Cartooning was his big thing, though. He'd drawn cartoons compulsively since chUdhood and published many anonymously in the '40's in The Texas Spectator, a precursor to the Observer. "He created logos for the various sections of the Observer, as weU as a cartoon for its first issue: a man with a cane, top hat, long braid, and topcoat, saying, ? do not agree with anything you say, and I wiU fight to the death your right to say it.'" [Ronnie Dugger] was delighted. The two became close friends. Eckhardt drew nearly 100 cartoons for the Observer between 1954 and 1990. He tried his hand at lobbying, but he'd had h...

It's time to clean out my folder of memorable quotes from last year. Dumbest remark by a politician:

Margaret Thatcher, the United Kingdom 's first female Prime Minister, moved to initiate policy that would see gender equality in recruitment and pay in the armed forces, but not for pensions or combatant roles. In a review of the events and Thatcher's formulation of policy toward women in the armed forces, as a debate on gender equality and social justice, the salient variables and issues taken into consideration include: Thatcher's personal agenda; her ideological position; her policy priorities; her relations with women organizations; the domestic and international political situation in which she lived; and such concerns that she might have entertained, such as appearing to show favoritism toward other women or indeed appearing to be weak. Thatcher, the Member of Parliament, had pref...

Keep religion to yourself We see the love affair with David Madore in The Columbian again with the Oct. 29 story Divine dining: Businessman David Madore discusses his faith as 800 attend prayer breakfast. This time its the interjection of religion in our government affairs at something called a prayer breakfast. Has he or our mayor or civic leaders ever heard of separation of church and state? See the Sheriffs Honor Guard in the picture? If Madore wants to believe that a mythical being created his success, thats his business. Its not the business of government.

The topic of leadership in the global marketplace has received a high degree of attention among scholars and practitioners over the past few years. Leadership of organizations and employees has definitely become more important as managing across borders and the advent of the virtual team has become increasingly prevalent. Paper explores impact of culture on leadership practices in two countries from culturally and economically different regions: Argentina and the United States of America. It uses the visionary approach to leadership developed by Kouzes and Posner (1987) which identified five leadership practices (actions or behaviors) employed by effective leaders: Challenging the Process, Inspiring a Shared Vision, Enabling Others to Act, Modeling the Way, and Encouraging the Heart. Us...

It was Nadine who "made decisions when the staff couldn't get an answer from [Bob Eckhardt]" and "remembered the names of the people who were key to his success and entertained constituents." And it wasn't the burden of caretaking, per se, that was Nadine's real problem with the relationship. It was that if she'd modeled her second marriage on the Johnsons', she was destined for disappointment, because Bob Eckhardt, to his moral credit, was no LBJ. Whereas [Lyndon Johnson] lived for acclaim and power and money, Bob just wanted to be left alone with the law. LBJ valued Lady Bird's discreet, tactful efforts because he understood their necessity to his career. But Eckhardt seemed blind to the politicking Nadine did on his behalf. Or even worse, he saw it as something useful but of no parti...

How about Hillary's supposed support for family values, which should include justice for abused women and children? I've Always Been a Yankees Fan presents Hillary publicly announcing, "I am proud that my husband has stood up as President to confront the violence and to protect American women." Based on our personal experiences with Hillary Clinton, we encourage others to explore the true nature of this woman through Kuiper's entertaining but revealing book before throwing political support to Hillary on the misguided impression that she is the moderate, family-values candidate she wants you to think she is.
