Titoli in Presidenti e capi di stato

बाल्यकाल में ही बधिरता जैसे अभिशाप को एकाग्रता जैसे अद्भुत गुण में परिवर्तित करनेवाले थॉमस अल्वा एडिसन ने जीवन के अंतिम प्रहर तक थकना नहीं सीखा। औपचारिक शिक्षा से वंचित होने पर भी साहित्य से लेकर विज्ञान तक का गहन अध्ययन करनेवाले इस वैज्ञानिक ने अपने कार्यकाल में औसतन हर पंद्रह दिन में एक पेटेंट हासिल किया; उनके जरिए दुनिया आधुनिक काल में प्रवेश कर गई और उपभोक्तावाद का प्रादुर्भाव हुआ।.

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the youngest person to assume the presidency by election and the youngest president at the end of his tenure. The following recording is of his January 20, 1961, inaugural address.

Horace Greeley (1811-1872) was the founder and editor of the influential New York Tribune, whose circulation was among the largest in the United States. On August 19, 1862, Greeley wrote an editorial titled “The Prayer of Twenty Millions"—referring to the number of Northerners loyal to the Union—which criticized Lincoln for his reluctance to use the powers Congress had given him to confiscate southern property, including slaves, in order to emancipate them. The following is President Abraham Lincoln's reply, published in the Daily National Intelligencer on August 23, 1862.

Fifty years after John F. Kennedy's death, we find ourselves enmeshed in an era of political division and cynicism, where politicians talk past one another and the spirit of "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country" is less visible than it should be. We seem to have forgotten that we're all on the same team. Fortunately, Scott D. Reich has given us The Power of Citizenship, a timely book to bring us back on track.

Depuis Mao, aucun dirigeant chinois n’avait concentré autant de pouvoir entre ses mains que Xi Jinping, qui a accédé en 2012 à la fonction suprême de secrétaire général du parti communiste chinois (pcc) puis, un an plus tard, à celle de président de la République populaire de Chine. Si Poutine et Erdogan sont des représentants remarqués et tonitruants de l’illibéralisme, le numéro un chinois Xi Jinping a choisi, lui, la discrétion. François Bougon, journaliste au Monde, décortique ici le personnage et sa stratégie.
