That would be near the very end of Cicero's life, a month after Caesar's assassination and just a year before his own slaughter at the hands of Antony's henchmen. A fitting dead rose to place on that letter. Soon afterwards Cicero wrote De officiis (On Duties), which turned out to be perhaps the most influential secular book ever written in the West, as it provided the template for the republicanism of Machiavelli, Montesquieu, and John Adams, among others. So, despite Antony's intention to erase Cicero from history (Antony's wife is said to have put a silver needle through the tongue of his impaled head because Cicero's silver tongued orations (his Philippics) had attacked Antony so viciously), Cicero triumphed.

 

Bravo!

Thanks, I'm impressed.

Steve McQueen’s original Bullitt Mustang

I like the picture but I don't really know what I see ???

[stuny]

Steve McQueen starred in a 1968 cinema crime thriller called Bullit.  The title character is a police detective named Bullit.  The film had a spectacular car chase in which McQueen (who was a fairly accomplished racing driver) did his own driving in the car you see in Zempelis' photo. Those scenes were filmed on the actual streets of San Francisco, and the chase established new norms for car chases in Cinema. For nearly 50 years almost nobody knew where the car disappeared to.  In 1974 Robert Kiernan bought the car for US$6000 after seeing an ad for it in Road & Track magazine.  Robert Kiernan's son revealed the car at this year's Detroit Auto Show.  Considering who drove it and the cinema, it's probably worth well over US$1 million, but the family will not sell it.  They've not restored it, instead, just preserved it.

 

In the photo it's on display on the Mall in Washington DC, and it will "travel" for display to other venues.

The display was confusing, like something made on Photoshop. Regarding Bullit, who in the world could ignore McQueen films ???
