Re: Pause
by Jim Fleming
As a so-called ICANN/IANA Director (planted by New Yorker Esther Dyson and others) can you summarize the Gender-Religious-SexualPreference make-up of the ICANN Board and Staff ? “Consider this case. It is 1907. An elderly New England woman finds herself being targeted by Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. She is 86 years old and holds some unconventional religious beliefs that she expounds in a book. The book becomes a bestseller, making her wealthy and a well-known public figure. The New York World decides she is incapable of managing her own affairs and persuades some of her friends and her two sons to sue for control of her estate. Although Boston and New Hampshire newspapers and major wire services interview this person and find her competent, the New York World is unrelenting. The lady in question finally is taken to court where the case against her is dropped. And the next year this woman, Mary Baker Eddy, founds The Christian Science Monitor. Given her experience with the press, it is not all that surprising that she sets as the Monitor's goal ‘to injure no man, but to bless all mankind.’ In one of life's little ironies, Joseph Pulitzer went on to endow the Pulitzer prizes for journalistic excellence. And Mrs. Eddy's newspaper went on to win seven Pulitzers so far.
