adlai stevensonNotably: Adlai Stevenson was born on this day in 1900. One of the wittiest and smartest candidates for president, he twice ran against Dwight Eisenhower. “The quality in Stevenson that excited most frequent attack was not his intellect as such, but his wit. In this country wit has never been popular in political leaders,” Richard Hofstadter wrote in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life. Stevenson was the great hope of intellectuals in the country, his loss in 1952 crushing them into the sort of depression that long pre-dated those of George W. Bush’s or Trump’s wins. On Nov. 7, 1952, Steinbeck wrote Stevenson: “Dear Governor Stevenson: I hope you will have rest without sadness. The sadness is for us to have lost our chance for greatness when greatness is needed. The Republic will not crumble. But for a little while, please don’t reread Thucydides. Republics have–and in just this way. […] Yours in disappointment and hope.”

For you rugby fans out there: The annual Six Nations Championship begins and runs through March 19, featuring England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy. NBC is broadcasting and streaming all Six Nations matches live on Peacock Premium. Ireland and Wales play at 9:15 a.m., Scotland and England play at 11:45 a.m. From the championship’s website: “In the opening round of the 2022 Guinness Six Nations, Scotland will be looking to achieve something they haven’t done since 1984: record back-to-back victories against England. Scotland began last year’s Championship with a historic first win against England at Twickenham in 38 years when Duhan van der Merwe scored the only try in an 11-6 triumph.” More here.

From Statista: Germany is associated mostly with its soccer prowess when it comes to sports, but the country is also a true winter sports nation. A look at the all-time medal table of the Olympic Winter Games shows that Germany has won more than 400 Olympic winter medals since 1924, ahead of Norway, Russia and the United States. Germany has also won the most Winter Olympics gold medals – 150. Canada, which comes sixth in the all-time medals table, has won a disproportionate number of golds, placing it fifth when only counting won competitions.

“Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy. It is not true in Fact and no where appears in history.”

–From a letter by John Adams to John Taylor, December 17, 1814.
