Chelsea Elizabeth Manning[3] (born Bradley Edward Manning (Bradley Manning), December 17, 1987) is a former United States Army soldier who was convicted by court-martial in July 2013, of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after disclosing to WikiLeaks nearly 750,000 classified, or unclassified but sensitive, military and diplomatic documents.[4] Manning was sentenced to 35 years confinement in August 2013[5] and pursuant to a commutation by President Barack Obama, was released on May 17, 2017.[6] Manning is a trans woman who, in a statement the day after sentencing, said she had a female gender identity since childhood, wanted to be known as Chelsea, and desired to begin hormone replacement therapy.[7] Assigned in 2009 to an Army unit in Iraq as an intelligence analyst, Manning had access to classified databases. In early 2010, she leaked classified information to WikiLeaks and confided this to Adrian Lamo, an online acquaintance.[8] Lamo indirectly informed the Army's Criminal Investigation Command, and Manning was arrested in May that same year.[9] The material included videos of the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike, and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 251,287 U.S. diplomatic cables;[10] and 482,832 Army reports that came to be known as the "Iraq War Logs"[11] and "Afghan War Diary".[12] The material was published by WikiLeaks and its media partners between April 2010 and April 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Manning

Tim Bray compares his mini-cafe/Book Store experience to a Big Box store. I found myself in a big-box bookstore thinking this place is dead. From where I stood, I could see no books I wanted to buy. And if I had, I would’ve been inclined to get the EPub for my Android. And I could see no incentive to sit down, or in fact to stay; so I left. (more)

Terry Teachout on Ted Koppel and network news (TV Journalism). But shows like "CBS Reports" and "NBC White Paper" were launched not out of a longing to serve the public, but because Paley, Stanton, Sarnoff and Goldenson were afraid of losing their broadcast licenses in the wake of the quiz-show scandals. It is especially comical to see Mr. Minow, who ought to know better, praising the high-mindedness of William Paley, whose chief contribution to news at CBS was his decision to pull the plug on "See It Now," Edward R Murrow's pioneering weekly documentary series, because it was too controversial.
