American businessman among 14 killed in Nairobi terrorist attack wapo.st/2FCianT
Jason Spindler survived 9/11.

Then he died at the hands of terrorists in Nairobi. wapo.st/2FET2Nl
The morning of 9/11, as thousands fled from the collapsing World Trade Center, Spindler did the opposite: He ran straight into the rubble and began pulling people out.

“That’s exactly the kind of person he is,” his college roommate said. wapo.st/2VXK8Ac
Spindler’s family is flying to Kenya to retrieve his body and will hold a religious service for him on Monday — what would have been his 41st birthday. wapo.st/2VXK8Ac

"I’m not just the guy in the video."

Desmond Marrow’s arrest was caught on a video that went viral in April 2017. Videos like these are watched and shared millions of times. wapo.st/2RC36Kk
Despite how familiar we are with these videos, we typically know little about what happens to the victims long after the public and news media have moved on. wapo.st/2B20Nct

The world is entering a new era of autocracy.

Countries that once represented the triumph of liberty and freedom are now using democratic structures as tools of oppression. wapo.st/2RHwy1g
As Americans worry about the health of their own democracy, Poland, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic show that decline can come bracingly fast.

And the signs bear little resemblance to the repressive methods of 20th-century despotism. wapo.st/2EjOTyp
Supposedly independent institutions — including courts and prosecutor’s offices — become instruments of political control. wapo.st/2EjOTyp

On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.

#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/
The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German #president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

On Sept. 11, 2001, everyone watched in horror as our country was attacked. Here is a story about a friend who died on 9/11 as an #American hero. I first met John years ago, we had both trained and worked in the business of corporate finance out of #NYC. John was a good man.
After working his way through the difficult first years many new executives face as they battle to make a career for themselves on Wall Street, John had worked at several firms with positions of increasing responsibility. It was difficult for him, because John was a nice guy.
By 2000, John had won enough battles to earn respect on Wall Street. He had become Managing Director of boutique investment firm Sandler O'Neill, focused on mergers & acquisitions of regional banks. John worked from his office on the 104th floor of One World Trade Center in #NYC.
