After 8 years as governor, Guinn ready for quiet life
Kenny Guinn is packing it up after eight years as Nevada governor, leaving behind a legacy that includes an overhaul of government operations, the biggest tax increase in state history and a major student scholarship program. At age 70, the moderate Republican has had several careers -- educator, utility and banking executive and, finally, politician. Now, he says he's really ready to retire. Guinn and his wife, Dema, will divide their time between a new home in Reno and their old home in Las Vegas. "I'm definitely not going to take another job. This is my third or fourth retirement," Guinn said during an interview in his nearly bare office, being cleared out to make way for another Republican, U.S. Rep. Jim Gibbons of Reno, who won the Nov.
A Warhol show explores Germany's Master Race philosophy.
"Our starting point is not the individual, and we do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the naked. ... Our objectives are entirely different: We must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world." -- Josef Goebbels at a Nazi Party rally in 1938 Even before Adolf Hitler and his Nazis launched their genocidal campaign across Europe, doctors became white-coated killers and nurses served as accomplices in the murder of about 200,000 German children and adults, all in the name of creating a superior strain of humanity. How could members of the healing professions do so much harm to so many people? "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race," an exhibition from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, shows how Nazi politicians and doctors embraced a science called eugenics that held out the biological promise of improving the human race by encouraging people with desirable genetic traits to reproduce repeatedly.
SPORTS WIRE: Former Bears QB Harbaugh to become Stanford coach
Stanford hired former Bears quarterback Jim Harbaugh on Monday to take over its struggling football program. The school plans to introduce him at a news conference today. Harbaugh, who played the first seven of his 15 NFL seasons with the Bears, has spent the last three years as the head coach at the University of San Diego, a non-scholarship Division I-AA program. He led the Toreros to a 29-6 record, winning 27 of his final 29 games at the school. Harbaugh, who will turn 43 on Saturday, has the tough task of turning around the Cardinal, which set a school record for losses in a 1-11 season that led to the firing of coach Walt Harris. Stanford has won only 16 games in the last five seasons under Harris and Buddy Teevens. Harbaugh played college ball at Michigan but has ties to Stanford.
