Good Resources

I am recommending really great resources for ideas in stimulating thought and action!  Currently, those below:

1.  The GPS program of Fareed Zakaria on CNN Sundays can boast of a fine list of books on political matters, far better than CSPAN's-2.  His list contains provocative entries and is consistently up-to-date in the point-of-views expressed having merit. 

2.  BBC-radio, heard in Las Vegas in the middle of the night, has notable in-depth analyses of current events occurring--especially  in Africa.  I've found the series on Nigeria that traces its military intervention into the political arena to the 1960s particularly enlightening.

3.  When I was in El Paso, I discovered that travelers from South-of-the-Border brought with them rumors about what could be happening in the countries from which they had just come.  These conjectures, though fanciful, were nonetheless useful in prompting me to do related factual research upon which the rumors might be based.  (see "What's Up John?" 7/13/13 item,)

Here, in Las Vegas,  I think, because visitors come from all over the globe, the rumor mill is churning out a veritable landfill!  I find rumors, no matter how preposterous, fun; and grist for serious study on some topic of current interest.

4.  I'm a good resource, too.  I posted in scribblings today, May 10, 2014, an item in What's up? that can help my friends.  If it proves useful, I'll continue to do so, but only under scribblings,
