In the early 1970s, obsessed by media leaks and government secrecy, Richard Nixon established a secret group of spies to collect information and disrupt his political enemies. In June 1972 the spies broke into an office at the Watergate office building in Washington, D.C. About two years later, Nixon resigned the presidency in the wake of the scandal. You may know all this, but do you know about the deep geographical, personal and historical connections between the various events in the Watergate scandal? In this video we'll look at the whole Watergate affair from a geographical perspective, and you'll see that, far from being a story that takes place mostly in offices and courtrooms, Watergate was a series of events with a truly global reach.

Graff, Watergate: A New History (New York: Avid Reader Press, 2022); Ken Hughes, Chasing Shadows: The Nixon Tapes, The Chennault Affair and the Origins of Watergate (Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2014); Richard Nixon, The Memoirs of Richard Nixon (London: Arrow Books, 1978), and numerous primary source documents from the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum.

Did the CIA Poison an Entire French Village? | Investigative Documentary
In August 1951, inhabitants of the picturesque French village of Pont-Saint-Esprit were suddenly tormented by terrifying hallucinations. People imagined lions and tigers were coming to eat them. A man jumped out of a window thinking he was a dragonfly. At least seven people died, dozens were taken to the local asylum in strait jackets and hundreds were affected. Almost immediately, wild theories started circulating to explain this mysterious case of mass insanity. There were claims of poisoned flour, contaminated water and even witchcraft. But the truth was stranger than many of the theories: the CIA had spiked the local food with LSD as part of a mind-control experiment at the height of the Cold War.
In this documentary, we reveal how for decades, the CIA has been usng unconsenting people as guinea pigs in thousands of different experiments.

Culinary Historians | The Making of James Beard, An American Legend with John Birdsall
Culinary Historians of Chicago
The Making of James Beard, An American Legend
Presented by John Birdsall, Author, The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard
Food of the past that comes to us through recipes and cookbooks can appear to be fixed evidence of what generations before us ate, their tastes and preferences. John Birdsall says that his research for The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard (Norton, 2020) challenged all his assumptions about that. The author found that letters between Beard and his agent and publishers revealed that the backstories about how some of the most influential cookbooks published last century included prejudice, messy personal feuds, persuasion, underhandedness, and compromise.
In his talk, Mr. Birdsall will describe the making of three of James Beard’s iconic cookbooks: The Fireside Cook Book of 1949, Delights and Prejudices of 1964, and James Beard’s American Cookery of 1972. He’ll talk about the original pitches for the books, how those changed during the writing; he’ll look at how Beard’s editors shaped his words and his persona; how Beard himself struggled to find his voice and identity; his work with ghost writers and collaborators; and how the books were received by the press and the public.

John Birdsall is a Tucson-based food and culture writer, author of The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard (Norton, 2020), and the recipient of two James Beard Awards for writing. He is the co-author, with chef James Syhabout, of Hawker Fare (Ecco Press, 2018). His articles have appeared in Food & Wine, Saveur, Bon Appétit, Los Angeles Times, and San Francisco Chronicle, @John_Birdsall

4711
4711 is a traditional German Eau de Cologne produced in Cologne since, at 1799, it is allowed to use the geographical indication Original Eau de Cologne. Invented in Cologne, Germany, in a house with the number 4711. It was initially developed for medicinal purposes. The ingredients are still top secret today, with only the main ingredients known.
Florida Water
Florida Water is an American version of Eau de Cologne or Cologne Water. It has the same citrus basis as Cologne Water but shifts the emphasis to sweet orange (rather than the lemon and neroli of the original Cologne Water) and adds spicy notes, including lavender clove. The name refers to the fabled Fountain of Youth, which was said to be located in Florida and the flowery nature. Florida Water was introduced by the New York City perfumer Robert I. Murray in 1808. It still uses the original 1808 formula, and that the current label is also a slightly modified version of the 1808 original. Florida Water was regarded as a unisex cologne, suitable for men and women alike. Victorian etiquette manuals warned young ladies against the offensive impression made by strong perfume.
