	The Wide Awakes » Harold Evans Gets Paranoid
		Harold Evans, one of the seemingly limitless pool of columnists the BBC draw on to deliver a ‘point of view’ uncannily similar to the Corporation’s own, centre-left, position, has a question for his readers:
		Evans, though, is so determined to avoid looking at the shoddy science pumped out by various eco-nuts that he moves quickly on from accusing Crichton of paranoid conspiracy-mongering to — Producing a paranoid conspiracy of his own.
		Harold Evans picks what he surmises will be an easy-to-ridicule target (Crichton, not Blair), who he attempts to further undermine by sniggering over the conspiracy theories in the fiction Crichton writes.

		Evans was born in Britain and moved to America only in 1984, so his retelling of the American story from 1889 to 1989 bears the refreshing stamp of a non-American sensibility, with some surprising focuses among the hundreds found in the textAEisenhower's engineering of coups in Guatemala and Iran, for example.
		Harold Evans has done his research not by reading about history, but by traveling the country talking with and even living with the people that are the product of our actions throughout this century.
		Evans, for instance, claimed that Ronald Reagan was "no racist" despite the fact he opened his 1980 campaign in the Deep South in the town where the three civil rights workers were murdered.

		Harold Evans has dramatized a people's struggle to achieve the American Dream, but also offers a thoughtful and provocative analysis of the great movements and events in America's rise to a position of political and cultural dominance.
		In 1889, when the United States entered the second hundred years of its existence, it was by no means certain that a nation of such diverse peoples, manifold beliefs, and impossible ideals could survive its own exceptional experiment in democracy or manage to avoid a headlong slide into oblivion.
		Evans describes what happened to the democratic ideal amid the clash of personalities and the convulsions of great events.

	Amazon.com: Good times, bad times: Books: Harold Evans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In his description of the paper, Evans reveals an almost po-faced reverence for the place of the Times as part of the British Establishment - he sees it as the paper of record, upholding fair, non-partisan and accurate journalism which British society has come to expect.
		Nonetheless this section contains fascinating accounts of Evan's new broom editorship coming to terms with the rather lazy attitude to scoops and freshness of news which, by implication, criticise his predecessor as editor (William Rees Mogg); and show that change was indeed necessary at the institution.
		The thrust of this section reveals Evans as tragic hero, valiantly striving to uphold freedom of speech against the devious, double-dealing Murdoch, whose lackeys live in fear of his disapproval.

		Arranged as a series of short articles, Evan's huge illustrated coffee-table book follows the major changes that took place in America from the late 1800s through the 1990s.
		Evans describes his approach as 'history for browsers.' He intends readers to dip into various episodes without having to begin at the beginning and end at the end.
		But in the process, Evans misses--or treats lightly--many slow-moving social and economic changes that have transformed everyday life.

		While this is not enough air time to include all of the innovators covered in Evans' formidable book, it is a well-rounded selection beginning with steamboat magnate Robert Fulton and ending with Pierre Omidyar, who started Ebay in a San Jose apartment.
		The same is true of Evans' portrait of sewing machine king Eli Singer, whose unconventional personal life would have provided more than enough fodder for a fat novel.
		Evans draws a distinction between innovation and invention.

		Most Americans don't really understand the source of their nation’s achievement, asserted Sir Harold Evans (pictured) in his keynote address this afternoon at the CPN annual Executive Summit 2005 in New York City.
		Evans proposed Cyrus McCormick for the title of “the greatest real estate man in the history of America.” McCormick, inventor of the McCormick Reaper, had the foresight to build his factory in Chicago when it was a woebegone town of 18,000, Evans explained.
		Contrary to popular belief, Evans argued, ideas like the jumbo jet or suitcases with wheels are not foregone conclusions, even though they may sometimes stare us in the face.
