Face Value: Hedy Lamarr's Ready for Her
Close-Up 05/03/2004 06:04 PM
Legendary beauty Hedy Lamarr invented frequency hopping; a film may show her intellectual side: Lamarr and George Antheil developed many of the fundamental ideas for frequency hopping spread-spectrum technology that is the foundation of much of modern data and voice wireless communication. Their patents were kept secret until 1985, delaying recognition. A foundation is helping to fund "Face Value," a screenplay about these broader aspects of Lamarr's life beyond her screen talent. Lamarr received a Pioneer Award in 1997 from the Electronic Frontier Foundation while Antheil was recognized posthumously. The Associated Press reported that the actress, then in her mid-80s, said on learning of the award, "It's about time." Her son apparently traveled to accept on her behalf; she died in 2000. In an uncredited article about her written around 1997, this prescient quote appears: "I should probably sell my life story to Ted Turner," says the film goddess-inventor-patriot, "because it's unbelievable.". Dave Hughes successfully lobbied for Antheil and Lamarr's nomination for that Pioneer Award. He is a technical adviser for the screenplay about her life. (Hughes himself will receive West Point's Distinguished Graduate award in late May, a signal honor by his alma mater. And someone should, in fact, schedule a movie to be made about his life, too.)...

The lemmings go over the cliff, or the
inmates are driving the bus

The lemmings go over the cliff, or the
inmates are driving the bus 03/16/2003 04:52 AM
As you may be able to tell from the links that I have selected tonight for the Midnight Blog, I am feeling fairly disheartened, too disheartened to do much original writing. Once I again, I find that my writing, which starts off being about technology and its effect on people, people and their use of technology, my voyages of discovery on this crazy thing we call the 'Net, and the fun random stuff that crosses through my brain, ends up focusing on politics, writ large. I don't know how not to write about politics, as we go to war. I feel like I am living in Europe in the summer of 1914 after the assassination of the archduke Franz Ferdinand, and I am watching the troops mobilize across Europe for a quick fight to "show who is right," and I know how it is not going to turn out. History has many more examples of wars with different outcomes than their instigators' intended than it does of wars that turn out as planned. It is not going to be a short glorious war, although the opening stages may look like it. One billion Muslims may not rise up at once, but they are not going to be happy with Christian occupation of the Islamic heartland, and some of them will find nasty ways to express their unhappiness. It is not going to be the war to end all wars, nor will it make the world safe for democracy. Like all wars, it will brutalize the participants and bystanders alike. In this case, both sides will probably make use of advances in military technology to commit new barbarities. So it was particularly disheartening to read this brilliant article, Just the Beginning, Is Iraq the opening salvo in a war to remake the world? by Robert Dreyfuss. Dreyfuss looks at the intellectual godfathers who agitated for a war against Iraq in the 1990's, neoconservatives like Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen, Reuel Marc Gerecht and Douglas Feith, most of whom are now in or associated with the Bush administration. As Dreyfus documents using their own words, they see the war against Iraq as just the first step in a war to remake the Middle East by militarily attacking or otherwise overthrowing the governments of Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. They want to see a Middle East dominated by an alliance between the United States and Israel, backed by overwhelming military force. They either ignore the fact that being democratic does not mean being pro-American policies, something that should be self-evident to even the most ignorant person by now, or they are clear that what they are after isn't democracy -- they would be just as happy to have authoritarian pro-American rulers. And they are prepared to have America go to war to install satraps for the new American empire. Some quotes:

"I think we're going to be obliged to fight a regional war, whether we want to or not," says Michael Ledeen, a former U.S. national-security official and a key strategist among the ascendant flock of neoconservative hawks, ... the very logic of the global war on terrorism will drive the United States to confront an expanding network of enemies in the region. "As soon as we land in Iraq, we're going to face the whole terrorist network," he says, including the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and a collection of militant splinter groups backed by nations -- Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia -- that he calls "the terror masters." "It may turn out to be a war to remake the world," says Ledeen. ... In their book, The War Over Iraq, William Kristol of The Weekly Standard and Lawrence F. Kaplan of The New Republic write, "The mission begins in Baghdad, but it does not end there. … We stand at the cusp of a new historical era. … This is a decisive moment. … It is so clearly about more than Iraq. It is about more even than the future of the Middle East and the war on terror. It is about what sort of role the United States intends to play in the twenty-first century." ... "Nostalgia for the last shah's son, Reza Pahlavi … has again risen," says Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former CIA officer who, like Ledeen and Perle, is ensconced at the AEI. "We must be prepared, however, to take the battle more directly to the mullahs," says Gerecht, adding that the United States must consider strikes at both Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and allies in Lebanon. "In fact, we have only two meaningful options: Confront clerical Iran and its proxies militarily or ring it with an oil embargo." ... Perle called on Israel to work with Turkey and Jordan to "contain, destabilize and roll-back" various states in the region, overthrow Saddam Hussein in Iraq, press Jordan to restore a scion of its Hashemite dynasty to the Iraqi throne and, above all, launch military assaults against Lebanon and Syria as a "prelude to a redrawing of the map of the Middle East [to] threaten Syria's territorial integrity." Joining Perle in writing the IASPS paper were Douglas Feith and Wurmser, now senior officials in Bush's national-security apparatus. ... Chas Freeman, who served as U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War, thinks it will be a disaster. "This outdoes anything in the march of folly catalog," he says. "It's the lemmings going over the cliff."

Required Reading, especially for anybody who thinks this war has anything to do with freedom. Like Chas Freeman (a brilliant diplomat, one of the US' best), I am convinced that the insane asylum inmates have taken over the bus that was transporting them to the loony bin, and they are driving the bus over the cliff. Unfortunately, we are on the bus too. What is a concerned citizen to do? I I write my Congresswoman and Senators, to support their opposition to the war, I write in this weblog, but I fear that all this writing is just preaching to the converted. The inmates have taken over the bus, and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do to stop them. Instead, we just watch as the bus goes over. I wonder if this is what it was like to watch the troop trains scurry across Europe in August of 1914, knowing that death and destruction were on their way, but feeling powerless to stop them. Suggestions for meaningful action welcomed.
