istorijski fragmenti

Stalnog dopisnika” i „specijalnog izveštača” kao instituciju „Politika” je utemeljila posle Prvog svetskog rata. Prvi je, kako navodi monografija Živote Đorđevića „’Politika’ – pogled na epohu, 1904–1941”, bio Andra Milosavljević, koji je 1919. poslat u Pariz da izveštava sa mirovne konferencije. Dopisnici iz francuske prestonice potom su bili Vuk Dragović i Mihailo Petrović.

Truman's unit joined in a massive prearranged assault barrage on September 26, 1918, at the opening of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.[49] They advanced with difficulty over pitted terrain to follow the infantry, and set up an observation post west of Cheppy.[49] On September 27, Truman saw through his binoculars an enemy artillery battery deploying across a river in a position which would allow them to fire upon the neighboring 28th Division.[49] Truman's orders limited him to targets facing the 35th Division, but he ignored this and patiently waited until the Germans had walked their horses well away from their guns, ensuring they could not relocate out of range of Truman's battery.[49] He then ordered his men to open fire, and their attack destroyed the enemy battery.[49] His actions were credited with saving the lives of 28th Division soldiers who otherwise would have come under fire from the Germans.[50][51] Truman was given a dressing down by his regimental commander, Colonel Karl D. Klemm, who threatened to convene a court-martial, but Klemm never followed through, and Truman was not punished.[49]

In other action during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, Truman's battery provided support for George S. Patton's tank brigade,[52] and fired some of the last shots of the war on November 11, 1918. Battery D did not lose any men while under Truman's command in France. To show their appreciation of his leadership, his men presented him with a large loving cup upon their return to the United States after the war.[35]

Kako je ovaj Hrvat postao najbolji poznavatelj Magellanova prolaza u kojem su mnogi kapetani izgubili glavu i doživjeli teške brodolome o kojima se i danas priča

Petar Zambelić bio je kapetan i istraživač svjetskog glasa, a svakako i pustolov. Rođen je 1849. u zaseoku Zambelići na poluotoku Luštica (Boka kotorska), tada sastavnom dijelu hrvatske Dalmacije, piše Ante Čuvalo za magazin Dijaspora.

Who Is Viktor Bout, the Arms Dealer in the Swap for Brittney Griner? Viktor Bout has been accused of supplying arms to Al Qaeda, the Taliban and rebels in Rwanda. His exploits helped inspire a 2005 film, “Lord of War,” that starred Nicolas Cage.

Kako smo se izborili za pravo žena na abortus.

“Omladina” je ponekad uspevala da svojim tekstovima pokrene zapostavljene ili nepoželjne teme kakva je bio abortus.

Posleratna Jugoslavija je automatski bila preuzela zakone kraljevine koji su se ticali pobačaja – bio je striktno zabranjen. Ginekolozi su kao i pre rata tajno, za dobre pare, obavljali kiretažu onim pacijentkinjama koje su to sebi mogle da priušte, dakle, devojkama iz “dobrih, građanskih kuća”.

Siromašne, uglavnom u grad tek pristigle devojke sa sela, abortus su jeftno radile kod raznih šarlatana, što je neretko imalo smrtni ishod. Ja sam kao sin ginekologa “porodično” bio upućen u problematiku, poznavao sam instrumente za pobačaj kirete i forceps klešta, kao što deca stolara znaju šta su testera i čekić.

Mi smo, pišući o konkretnim nesrećama devojaka, o ponekoj strašnoj smrti zbog sepse, uspeli da izdejstvujemo da se zakon promeni i uvede mogućnost prekida trudnoće na osnovu “socijalne indikacije” na račun zdravstvenog osiguranja. Još i danas mislim da je to bila krupna pobeda: državni i partisjki vrh je poslušao sugestiju jednog omladinskog lista. Pa neka svako sam iz toga izvuče zaključak kakav hoće.
