"Greatest" Lists
Posted by: David Bunch
Kent flagged me on a cool link where the Guardian (out of London) is cataloguing the 14 greatest speeches of the 20th Century. At the website you can read the speeches, listen to the speeches, read what commentators had to say about the speeches, etc. Pretty interesting. Can you guess (without looking) which speech the Guardian picked as number 1 (it's actually not clear if they picked these in any particular order)?
More lists of notables here. Time has announced its 100 most influential people in the world. Noticeably absent is President Bush and regrettably present is Rosie (though I suppose it could be argued that she is influential; after all influence can be negative as well as positive).
What do you think about the lists?

Hmmm, for speeches is it JFK's "Ask not what you can do ..." speech? I wonder if Woodrow Wilson's 14 points speech is on there? Must go look.

I'm gonna guess MLK's "I Have a Dream." Let me go see if I'm right.
