Sullivan Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, $39.95, 624 pages Reviewed by John R. Coyne Jr. "The history of England is emphatically the history of progress." That, in a nutshell, is the Whig theory of history, as articulated by the subject of this heavily researched, strongly written and somewhat peculiar book. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_an-eminent-victorian-disinterred.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT BOOK REVIEW: An eminent Victorian disinterred no clean 5:16 book,review,eminent,victorian,disinterred 11140320 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_trust-not-in-trust-funds.mp3?TC=11140320&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_trust-not-in-trust-funds.mp3 At the Jan. 28 London confer -ence seeking interna -tional support for Afghanistan, British Prime Minister Gor -don Brown announced the creation of the "Peace and Reintegration Trust Fund," which would finance the reintegration of Taliban and other Afghan insurgents who lay down their weapons and swear allegiance to Afghanistan's constitution. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_trust-not-in-trust-funds.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT WARREN: Trust not in trust funds no clean 4:27 Col.

That is the mantra Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis has repeated in dozens of speeches as a way of contrasting herself with her predecessor, President George W. Bush's long-serving Labor Secretary Elaine Chao. It was Mrs. Solis' way of announcing that the Labor Department will get serious and really crack down on infractions of labor law. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_07_labors-new-sheriff-plays-favorites.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT SCANLON: Labor's 'new sheriff' plays favorites no clean 4:00 Terrence Scanlon scanlon,labors,new,sheriff,plays,favorites 11140322 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_07_engine-for-job-growth.mp3?TC=11140322&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_07_engine-for-job-growth.mp3 In his State of the Union address last week, President Obama promised to double U.S. exports in five years. That's both a tall order and a worthy goal. In the coming days, Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke is supposed to provide details on how to increase approximately $1 trillion in exports to $2 trillion by 2015. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_07_engine-for-job-growth.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT WANZEK: Engine for job growth no clean 4:59 Terry Wanzek wanzek,engine,job,growth 11140323 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_07_bayh-a-tough-sell-in-indiana.mp3?TC=11140323&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_07_bayh-a-tough-sell-in-indiana.mp3 If you want more evidence of how deep Democratic losses may be in the fall midterm elections, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh's suddenly shaky bid for a third term is Exhibit A. A few months ago, Mr. Bayh was considered a shoo-in for re-election in the Hoosier state. Now election handicappers have moved him from "safe" to endangered. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_07_bayh-a-tough-sell-in-indiana.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT LAMBRO: Bayh a tough sell in Indiana no clean 5:22 Donald Lambro lambro,bayh,tough,sell,indiana 11140324 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_06_military-lab-rats.mp3?TC=11140324&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_06_military-lab-rats.mp3 No nation has ever had a better military than today's all-volunteer U.S. armed forces. Though I wouldn't trade anything for the young Americans with whom I served in Vietnam or afterward, those presently wearing America's uniforms are the brightest, best-educated, best-trained and most combat-experienced military the world has ever seen. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_06_military-lab-rats.mp3 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT NORTH: Military lab rats no clean 5:27 Oliver North north,military,lab,rats 11140325 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_06_even-popular-spending-trims-can-stall.mp3?TC=11140325&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_06_even-popular-spending-trims-can-stall.mp3 When President Oba-ma released his fiscal 2011 budget last week, there were a few nuggets of waste that made his list of spending cuts. One of the largest is the elimination of the alternate engine for the Joint Strike Fighter, a $7.2 billion boondoggle that is being kept alive by a small number of pork-barrel-loving members of Congress. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_06_even-popular-spending-trims-can-stall.mp3 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT SCHATZ: Even popular spending trims can stall no clean 5:10 Tom Schatz schatz,popular,spending,trims,stall 11140326 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_06_drug-czar-should-400-million-goes-up-in-smoke.mp3?TC=11140326&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_06_drug-czar-should-400-million-goes-up-in-smoke.mp3 Voters are disgusted by the reckless spending of politicians in Washington. The backlash is coming, so policymakers are now scrambling to do something, or at least be seen as doing something, about the enormous federal debt. Now is a good time for Congress to abolish government agencies that are outdated, dysfunctional or just unnecessary. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_06_drug-czar-should-400-million-goes-up-in-smoke.mp3 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:00:01 GMT LYNCH: Drug czar should go no clean 5:03 Timothy Lynch lynch,drug,czar,go 11140327 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_05_favoring-mortons-over-mcdonalds.mp3?TC=11140327&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_favoring-mortons-over-mcdonalds.mp3 All Washingtonians support efforts to clean up pollution. But the Anacos- tia River Cleanup and Protection Act of 2009 is an unfair tax on consumers and businesses. The 5-cent bag tax will be added to the 10 percent District food sales tax, already the nation's seventh-highest. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_favoring-mortons-over-mcdonalds.mp3 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT Favoring Morton's over McDonald's no clean 4:58 Robert J.

Salinger recalled the famous Dorothy Parker quip on being told that Calvin Coolidge was dead: "How can they tell?" Of all the iconic writers of the second half of the 20th century, Salinger let us down most. Like one of his characters who demanded "authenticity," the author hid behind being authentic only to himself. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_coming-of-age-with-holden-caufield.mp3 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT Coming of age with Holden Caufield no clean 5:02 Suzanne Fields coming,age,holden,caufield 11140329 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_05_americas-suicide-attempt.mp3?TC=11140329&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_americas-suicide-attempt.mp3 "Civilizations die from suicide, not murder," said the great historian Arnold Toynbee. Under President Obama, America is losing its superpower status. It is in decline, slowly being transformed into a second-tier nation. America's collapse has been sudden and stunning - soaring deficits, economic stagnation, appeasement of radical Islam and revolutionary socialism.

Onstage were some of the biggest names in show business. In the audience were first responders who had been working around the clock at ground zero. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_wont-get-fooled-again.mp3 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:02:02 GMT ZICKAR: Won't get fooled again... no clean 6:57 Lou Zickar zickar,wont,fooled,again 11140331 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_04_more-regulators-mean-less-innovation.mp3?TC=11140331&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_04_more-regulators-mean-less-innovation.mp3 Given the amount of fiscal tap-dancing by the president and his advisers these days, instead of bringing back former campaign manager David Plouffe, maybe they should have chosen someone like Fred Astaire or Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_04_more-regulators-mean-less-innovation.mp3 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT MILLER: More regulators mean less innovation no clean 7:07 Dr. Henry I.
