He was what in those days was called a lion man he understood the King of Beasts to say nothing of his mate, and he did not kill for fun. Like so many of the old timers Denys was physically strong and tall. One's an ex railway guard, the others an Earl's son. An American visitor once asked the late Paul Whetham, manager of the first firm to organise safaris, what type of men he employed as white hunters: were they English gentlemen, white trash or what?. Safari Trail - reminded me of Chaucer's Knight. ![]()

Free Press 101: How we practice journalism. ![]() ![]() THE SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE can be viewed simply as an artifact of a particular moment in French and Western modern history in the aftermath of May 1968. Of course, a film itself is a spectacle, but Debord, with the manner of his delivery and irreverent pacing, seems determined to both undercut viewers’ expectations while simultaneously drawing them in. ![]() ![]() In the nearly five decades since it was released, the issues raised in THE SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE have become more entrenched. He accompanies these images with his critique of life both mediated and sustained by the spectacular, as the central pillar of a capitalist alienation so all-encompassing, even revolution may seem futile. The result is a kind of organized chaos that nonetheless manages to provide a sharp commentary on a world dominated by image and power.ĭebord casts a wide net, drawing in footage of topless women, manufacturing, fashion shoots, Hollywood movies, and scenes of wars, uprisings, and protests being crushed by police. ![]() Using the classic Situationist technique of “détournement” (think pre-digital remixing), Debord overlays a dizzying array of still and film images with text from the book. Six years after the publication of his Situationist classic The Society of the Spectacle, Guy Debord released this semi-experimental, essay-film adaptation. “The spectacle sings not of arms and the man but of commodities and their passions.” ![]() ![]() But poor communication left the Allies in the dark, allowing the Turks to prevail and the Allies to suffer a crushing quarter-million casualties.

The adoption of a functional structure may have been unsurprising for a company of Apple’s size at the time. Believing that conventional management had stifled innovation, Jobs, in his first year returning as CEO, laid off the general managers of all the business units (in a single day), put the entire company under one P&L, and combined the disparate functional departments of the business units into one functional organization. ![]() As is often the case with decentralized business units, managers were inclined to fight with one another, over transfer prices in particular. General managers ran the Macintosh products group, the information appliances division, and the server products division, among others. It was divided into business units, each with its own P&L responsibilities. When Jobs arrived back at Apple, it had a conventional structure for a company of its size and scope. Much less well-known are the organizational design and the associated leadership model that have played a crucial role in the company’s innovation success. Thanks to them, it grew from some 8,000 employees and $7 billion in revenue in 1997, the year Steve Jobs returned, to 137,000 employees and $260 billion in revenue in 2019. Apple is well-known for its innovations in hardware, software, and services. ![]() |
