2016 Monaco and Spanish Grands Prix team radio transcripts
2016 Monaco Grand PrixPosted on 2nd June 2016, 12:45Author Keith Collantine
“I think the whole afternoon [the medium compound] was the slower tyre for us,” reflected Sebastian Vettel after the Spanish Grand Prix.
“I think I said it on the radio, so it was probably broadcast.”
In recent years drivers have become used to assuming that any interesting scrap of information they reveal on their radios will be broadcast to the watching world by Formula One Management. But since the beginning of the 2016 season this has clearly changed.
While new rules have reduced the amount of discussion which can go on between driver and team at the same time FOM is revealing less of the communications which do take place. The result is little more than a few dozen messages are now heard per race compared to the hundreds which were being broadcast 12 months ago.

There was a tattered man, fouled with dust, blood and powder stain from hair to shoes, who trudged quietly at the youth's side. He was listening with eagerness and much humility to the lurid descriptions of a bearded sergeant. His lean features wore an expression of awe and admiration. He was like a listener in a country store to wondrous tales told among the sugar barrels. He eyed the story-teller with unspeakable wonder. His mouth was agape in yokel fashion.
The sergeant, taking note of this, gave pause to his elaborate history while he administered a sardonic comment. "Be keerful, honey, you 'll be a-ketchin' flies," he said.
The tattered man shrank back abashed.
After a time he began to sidle near to the youth, and in a diffident way try to make him a friend. His voice was gentle as a girl's voice and his eyes were pleading. The youth saw with surprise that the soldier had two wounds, one in the head, bound with a blood-soaked rag, and the other in the arm, making that member dangle like a broken bough.
After they had walked together for some time the tattered man mustered sufficient courage to speak. "Was pretty good fight, wa'n't it?" he timidly said. The youth, deep in thought, glanced up at the bloody and grim figure with its lamblike eyes. "What?"
"Was pretty good fight, wa'n't it?"
"Yes," said the youth shortly. He quickened his pace.
But the other hobbled industriously after him. There was an air of apology in his manner, but he evidently thought that he needed only to talk for a time, and the youth would perceive that he was a good fellow.
"Was pretty good fight, wa'n't it?" he began in a small voice, and the he achieved the fortitude to continue. "Dern me if I ever see fellers fight so. Laws, how they did fight! I knowed th' boys 'd like it when they onct got square at it. Th' boys ain't had no fair chanct up t' now, but this time they showed what they was. I knowed it 'd turn out this way. Yeh can't lick them boys. No, sir! They 're fighters, they be."
He breathed a deep breath of humble admiration. He had looked at the youth for encouragement several times. He received none, but gradually he seemed to get absorbed in his subject.
"I was talkin' 'cross pickets with a boy from Georgie, onct, an' that boy, he ses, 'Your fellers 'll all run like hell when they onct hearn a gun,' he ses. 'Mebbe they will,' I ses, 'but I don't b'lieve none of it,' I ses; 'an' b'jiminey,' I ses back t' 'um, 'mebbe your fellers 'll all run like hell when they onct hearn a gun,' I ses. He larfed. Well, they didn't run t' day, did they, hey? No, sir! They fit, an' fit, an' fit."
His homely face was suffused with a light of love for the army which was to him all things beautiful and powerful.
After a time he turned to the youth. "Where yeh hit, ol' boy?" he asked in a brotherly tone.
The youth felt instant panic at this question, although at first its full import was not borne in upon him.
"What?" he asked.
"Where yeh hit?" repeated the tattered man.

CNN WOLF BLITZER REPORTS
Aired January 10, 2005 - 17:00 ET
In other news, it was a stunning report with huge implications for the presidential campaign, but perhaps even more shocking than the CBS story questioning President Bush's National Guard service, there had been many of those stories before, was the network's turnaround when it admitted it could no longer vouch for its facts. Now the other shoe has dropped and several top CBS news executives are out of a job. CNN's Chris Huntington joins us now live from New York with more -- Chris.
CHRIS HUNTINGTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, this was a report that was three months in the making. A lengthy independent review of just exactly what happened at CBS News with that September 8 broadcast. The lengthy review offers an unflattering assessment of the breakdown of journalistic standards at CBS News.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(voice-over): In early September, veteran CBS News producer Mary Mapes thought she had the story of the presidential election. That George W. Bush had shirked his duties in the Texas Air National Guard and that four letters reportedly written by Bush's commanding officer at the time proved it.
DAN RATHER, CBS NEWS ANCHOR: Tonight we have new documents and new information on the president's military service.
HUNTINGTON: In fact, all that Mapes had were four ragged photo copies that neither she nor her colleagues at "60 Minutes Wednesday" nor several document specialists could authenticate at the time. Now a 224-page report prepared by former U.S. attorney general Richard Thornburgh and Louis Boccardi, the former CEO of the Associated Press finds, quote, "considerable and fundamental deficiencies relating to the reporting and production of the September 8 segment." That, quote, "myopic zeal to break the story ahead of other news organizations resulted in a rush to air that overwhelmed the proper application of CBS News standards."
ALEX JONES, SHORENSTEIN CENTER: I don't think there's any more destructive element in television news now than the competition to be first. This is a story about newspeople who fell in love with a story, and falling in love is a kind of madness. And that afflicts people in the news business just like it afflicts all of us sometimes.
HUNTINGTON: Thornburgh and Boccardi present a revealing look at the chaotic pressure cooker at "60 Minutes Wednesday" trying to push through a controversial story in just a few days including Mapes and an associate producer scrambling over Labor Day weekend to find document experts just days before the report would go to air. Mapes is described in the report as dismissing objections raised by those experts and then convincing CBS News executives that the documents had been validate. Dan Rather is described as out of the loop, covering Hurricane Frances in Florida. But Rather did tell CBS News president Andrew Heyward that, quote, "this story could be radioactive" and that Heyward should have it checked out thoroughly. Heyward then e-mailed Betsy West the executive overseeing "60 Minutes," "we're going to have to defend every syllable on this one." Betsy West as well as two other executives at "60 Minutes Wednesday" have lost their jobs all because a veteran producer thought she had a scoop.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The vetting process didn't work, that people trusted the word of one person without checking the documents or the experts that produced them.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
HUNTINGTON: Now, Moonves also said that CBS will immediately adopt one of the chief recommendations of the Thornburgh/Boccardi report and that is a new executive position to oversee reporting standards. By the way, Wolf, the Thornburgh/Boccardi report itself could not authenticate the documents. So we still don't know if those documents were real or forged.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
BLITZER: Chris Huntington with a solid report from New York. Thanks very much. We'll have reaction to the controversial shake-up at CBS News and the allegations that the oustings are politically motivated. I'll speak with former CBS correspondent and author Bernard Goldberg. That's coming up next.
Increased violence in Iraq and now talk of drastic measures. Could U.S.-trained forces soon operate as secret death squads?
Fair and free. Palestinians elect a new leader and renew hope for peace in the Middle East. The former president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, is in the region. My interview with him, that's coming up as well.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BLITZER: Welcome back. Our coverage of the CBS News story continues now. I'm joined from our Miami bureau by Bernard Goldberg, a former CBS correspondent and the author of the best selling book "Bias, A CBS Insider Exposes How The Media Distort the News." Bernie, thanks very much for joining us. A lot of our viewers are interested. First of all, was this a thorough report? Are you satisfied with the bottom line conclusions of this report?
BERNARD GOLDBERG, FMR. CBS CORRESPONDENT: Well, to state the obvious, they don't care whether I'm satisfied or not. But look, I think after three months they put a lot of work into it and deserve some credit, but it's disingenuous, I think, Wolf, to simply conclude that they made a mistake without going into some detail about how they made the mistake beyond this zeal to be first. I don't think this story would have ever seen the light of day if their source, instead of being a Bush -- someone who disliked President Bush, someone with a vendetta against President Bush, was, let's say, a conservative Republican who had a vendetta against John Kerry. If this report were about not George Bush being a slacker during the Vietnam War but about John Kerry being a slacker during the Vietnam War, they would have been much more careful. Yes, they made a mistake. Dan Rather had no idea that these documents were phony, but they made a mistake, in my view, anyway, because, a, they wanted the story to be true, and because it fit their own preconceived notions about George Bush.
BLITZER: Basically, though, what I can tell from reading the document is they had such high regard for this Mary Mapes, the senior producer who was involved in putting it together, she had been a star at "60 Minutes" for so many years.
GOLDBERG: Right.
BLITZER: They simply assumed she knew what she was doing.
GOLDBERG: Yes, I have some inside information on this because I'm still a reporter and I still talk to people on the inside. Mary Mapes is the real villain in all of this. I almost feel sorry for my old friend Dan Rather. Mary Mapes really misled a whole bunch of people, but, you know, the report concluded that there was no evidence of bias. And you know, in the reporting. And I agree, there was no evidence of bias. I'm not sure what evidence they thought they'd find. Did they think there was going to be a memo that said, let's stick to it George W. Bush? Of course there was no evidence. But I'm saying this...
BLITZER: Let me read, Bernie, I'll interrupt for a second, from the commission, the independent review panel's findings on this issue. "The panel does not find a bias to accuse those who investigated, produced, vetted or aired the segment of having a political bias. The panel does note, however, that on such a politically charged story coming in the midst of a presidential campaign in which military service records had become an issue, there was a need for meticulous care to avoid any suggestion of an agenda at work."
GOLDBERG: And I'm going a step further. I'm saying there was an agenda at work. I'm not saying that Dan Rather went into this saying, I'm going to get George Bush. It's never -- that is not the nature of bias in the news. It never, ever happens that way. But I am saying that he wanted this story to be true, and Mary Mapes sure wanted that story to be true. And did he depend too much on her? Yes, that's obvious. But if he didn't want this story to be true, if it didn't fit the culture of CBS' preconceived notions about liberals and conservatives and Democrats and Republicans, it would have never seen the light of day and we would never be talking about it.
BLITZER: Their defenders say they wanted it to be true, they fell in love with the story, not because of a bias or a political agenda, but because they thought it was a great story, and as journalists, you and I know, we love great stories.
GOLDBERG: Yes, and I think when you're working with investigative producers -- and it's the scariest thing in the world -- I've worked with them -- when they fall in love with the story, head for the hills. Because you may have big, big problems, as we see here. But what I'm saying is, they didn't simply fall in love with a great story. They would have never -- I know these people, I know these people. And even more than knowing these people, I know the culture at CBS News. They would have never fallen in love with a story that made the other side look as bad as they made George Bush. They just wouldn't have.
BLITZER: All right, let's talk about Dan Rather for a moment. Leslie Moonves and his statement released in conjunction with the report says this: "Dan Rather has already apologized for the segment and taken personal responsibility for his part in the broadcast. He voluntarily moved to set a date to step down from 'The CBS Evening News' anchor chair in March of 2005, which will give him more time to concentrate on his reporting for CBS News. After examining the report and thinking about its implications, we believe any further action would not be appropriate."
Is that appropriate for Leslie Moonves to have reached that conclusion?
GOLDBERG: Yeah, he's the boss. Whatever he decides, in a sense, is appropriate. Dan Rather's legacy is going to be two-fold, I think. One is that he's a reporter with tremendous courage, physical courage, especially. He's covered every major story since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and he was the first reporter on that story. And he deserves tremendous credit for all of that. But the other part of the legacy that I'm sure the report doesn't go into, because it's not the purview of the report, is that Dan Rather is unwilling and maybe even incapable of taking serious criticism seriously. His first reaction is to circle the wagons, and that isn't healthy for anybody, certainly not for a journalist. The first thing he did in this story is to say this was the work -- to people who were criticizing him -- this is the work of partisan political forces. Well, you know what? You know who the partisan political forces were? His source, his producer and maybe Dan Rather himself.
BLITZER: Dan Rather is also listed as managing editor of "The CBS Evening News," not just a reader, a news reader, if you will.
GOLDBERG: Right.
BLITZER: He is quoted in the report as having said to CBS News President Andrew Heyward, this is radioactive, make sure this is all right. I'm busy, I've got a million things going on, including the hurricanes in Florida. Andrew Heyward, he's not being fired, he's allowed to continue. Do you accept that?
GOLDBERG: Again, it doesn't matter if I accept it. But I read that quote of Dan Rather's when he made it in "The New York Times," and I thought Dan Rather was brilliant by doing that, because now he's linked himself to Andrew Heyward.
I will say this, I like Andrew Heyward a lot. There was a time when he was, if anybody cares, my best friend. But if you think Ronald Reagan is the teflon president, you have never met Andrew Heyward. There is no -- I would have bet the ranch that he wasn't going to go down on this thing.
Now, whether or not three months from now, six months from now Andrew Heyward announces that he wants to pursue other challenges and all that, that may be, but you know, there were a number of people in the meetings on this story, and Andrew Heyward was one of them. So Andrew Heyward -- I don't think that the captain of the ship, because he's the president of CBS News, ipso facto, he ought to be punished for this. But he was involved at every level of this story. Maybe not every single, you know, little thing, but he was involved in all the meetings that Dan Rather went to, that Heyward went to, that Betsy West went to and that Mary Mapes went to and that Josh Howard and Mary Murphy, the two producers, went to.
And you know, I just think it is going to be awfully difficult for Dan Rather and Andrew Heyward to go into work when all these other people have lost their jobs. I mean, I know some of these people. And they're very good and they're very decent. They've lost their jobs, but Rather, the reporter on the story, hasn't lost his job. He's still making a seven-figure salary. And Andrew Heyward hasn't lost his. I'm not saying he should have. But if I'm Andrew Heyward I'm feeling mighty funny about this, you know, this survivor -- I'd have survivor guilt, let's put it that way.
BLITZER: Bernard Goldberg, we'll leave it right there. Continue this conversation on another occasion. Thanks very much for joining us.
GOLDBERG: Thanks, Wolf.

CBS Ousts 4 For Bush Guard Story
Hodges said that when he finally saw the documents after the Sept. 8 broadcast, he concluded they were bogus and told Rather and Mapes of his opinion on Sept. 10.
"This alleged confirmation by Major General Hodges started to march 60 Minutes Wednesday into dangerous and ultimately unsustainable territory: the notion that since the content of the documents was felt to be true, demonstrating the authenticity of the documents became less important."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG
WYSIWYG
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WYSIWYG is an acronym for "what you see is what you get". In computing, a WYSIWYG editor is a system in which content (text and graphics) can be edited in a form closely resembling its appearance when printed or displayed as a finished product, such as a printed document, web page, or slide presentation.
Before the adoption of WYSIWYG techniques, text appeared in editors using the system standard typeface and style with little indication of layout (margins, spacing, etc.). Users were required to enter special non-printing control codes (now referred to as markup code tags) to indicate that some text should be in boldface, italics, or a different typeface or size. In this environment there was very little distinction between text editors and word processors.
These applications typically used an arbitrary markup language to define the codes/tags. Each program had its own special way to format a document, and it was a difficult and time-consuming process to change from one word processor to another.
The use of markup tags and codes remains popular today in some applications due to their ability to store complex formatting information. When the tags are made visible in the editor, however, they occupy space in the unformatted text and so disrupt the desired layout and flow.
Bravo, a document preparation program for the Alto produced at Xerox PARC by Butler Lampson, Charles Simonyi and colleagues in 1974, is generally considered the first program to incorporate WYSIWYG technology, displaying text with formatting (e.g. with justification, fonts, and proportional spacing of characters). The Alto monitor (72 PPI) was designed so that one full page of text could be seen and then printed on the first laser printers. When the text was laid out on the screen, 72 PPI font metric files were used, but when printed 300 PPI files were used—thus one would occasionally find characters and words slightly off, a problem that continues to this day. (72 PPI came from a new measure of 72 "PostScript points" per inch. Prior to this, the standard measure of 72.27 points per inch was used in typeface design, graphic design, typesetting and printing.)
Bravo was never released commercially, but the software eventually included in the Xerox Star can be seen as a direct descendant of it.

Microsoft Word
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microsoft Word is a word processor developed by Microsoft. It was first released on October 25, 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh running Mac OS (1985), AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1988), OS/2 (1989), Microsoft Windows (1989) and SCO Unix (1994). Commercial versions of Word are licensed as a standalone product or as a component of Microsoft Office, Windows RT or the discontinued Microsoft Works suite. Microsoft Word Viewer and Office Online are freeware editions of Word with limited features.
Reception
BYTE in 1984 criticized the documentation for Word 1.1 and 2.0 for DOS, calling it "a complete farce". It called the software "clever, put together well, and performs some extraordinary feats", but concluded that "especially when operated with the mouse, has many more limitations than benefits ... extremely frustrating to learn and operate efficiently". PC Magazine's review was very mixed, stating "I've run into weird word processors before, but this is the first time one's nearly knocked me down for the count" but acknowledging that Word's innovations were the first that caused the reviewer to consider abandoning WordStar. While the review cited an excellent WYSIWYG display, sophisticated print formatting, windows, and footnoting as merits, it criticized many small flaws, very slow performance, and "documentation apparently produced by Madame Sadie's Pain Palace". It concluded that Word was "two releases away from potential greatness".
Compute!'s Apple Applications in 1987 stated that "despite a certain awkwardness", Word 3.01 "will likely become the major Macintosh word processor" with "far too many features to list here". While criticizing the lack of true WYSIWYG, the magazine concluded that "Word is marvelous. It's like a Mozart or Edison, whose occasional gaucherie we excuse because of his great gifts".

Source Pulls Support for Memos on Bush Guard Service
Published September 13, 2004 FoxNews.com
WASHINGTON – A key source who was named to back up CBS News' claims about the authenticity of documents used in a report on President Bush's (search) Air National Guard service has recanted his support, saying the network got the information wrong.
Retired Major Gen. Bobby Hodges, a key source behind a "60 Minutes" story that claims Bush shirked his guard duty, said that now that he has seen the memos, he does not believe they are authentic.

Senator Kerry's record on national security has a far deeper problem than election-year flip-flopping. On the largest national security issues of our time, he has been consistently wrong. When Ronald Reagan was confronting the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, Senator Kerry said that President Reagan's policy of peace through strength was making America less safe.

THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
An Agile Pilot Who Flew Under the Radar
After a promising start in a coveted Guard slot, George W. Bush nearly dropped out of sight.

HOUSTON — On a temperate, crystal-clear Texas day in April 1972, Lt. George W. Bush took what turned out to be his last flight as a National Guard pilot.
Over the next 18 months of his tour, the man who is now America's commander in chief paid little attention to his military duties, lost his flying status and was granted an early exit from the assignment that shielded him from combat in Vietnam.
A reexamination of Texas Air National Guard documents, Air Force regulations and accounts from former Guard officials and military experts depicts a capable young pilot who initially excelled, then barely scraped together enough credits in his final two years to meet the Guard's minimum requirements.

Robert Caulfield: Hard day at the office?
Elliot Whittier: I don't even want to talk about it.
Robert Caulfield: Did you break your slide rule?
Elliot Whittier: I'm not really sure. I ran a check on my own on the transmission signals. The numbers came up screwy. So I told Dr. Bergman about it. It was like he was pissed at me for running a check. He said it must be a console malfunction. So I told Dr. Kelloway about it and he said the same thing.
Robert Caulfield: Big deal. What did you expect - a merit badge?
Elliot Whittier: I guess so. They must know what they're doing. Those numbers couldn't have been right anyway. No way.
Robert Caulfield: Well, if you know the numbers couldn't have been right why the hell are you so upset?
Elliot Whittier: Because the way they reacted. No double check or anything. They looked at me like I was a kid and offered me a cookie.
Robert Caulfield: What were the numbers?
Elliot Whittier: I have to admit it is ridiculous.
Robert Caulfield: Good. Let's play pool.
Elliot Whittier: Those signals couldn't have come from 300 miles.
Robert Caulfield: Which signals?

CBS bans advertising for critical film
David Bauder, Ap Television Writer Updated 12:04 pm, Friday, October 16, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) — CBS has refused to run advertising for "Truth," the film starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford that revisits a painful episode in the network's past involving a discredited 2004 news story on former President George W. Bush's military service record.
CBS has denounced the movie, which opens Friday, as a disservice to the public and journalists.
Redford plays Dan Rather in "Truth," with Blanchett as producer Mary Mapes. Together, they were behind a "60 Minutes II" story that questioned Bush's Vietnam War-era commitment to service in the Texas Air National Guard. But CBS apologized for the story after documents used were called into question and could not be verified. Mapes and three news executives were fired.
Sony Pictures Classics sought a multi-million dollar ad buy to promote the film on Stephen Colbert's "Late Show," the "CBS Evening News," ''CBS This Morning" and "60 Minutes," but was turned down, said Sherri Callan, president of Callan Advertising, the company that places ads for Sony.
Instead, Sony is advertising on ABC, NBC, Fox and several cable networks. CBS, which confirmed the rejection, told Callan it was not comfortable accepting the ads because of inaccuracies and distortions in the movie, and that it would offend longtime CBS News employees.
"It's astounding how little truth there is in 'Truth,'" said Gil Schwartz, longtime chief spokesman for CBS Corp. and a character in the movie. "There are, in fact, too many distortions, evasions and baseless conspiracy theories to enumerate them all. The film tries to turn gross errors of journalism and judgment into acts of heroism and martyrdom.
"That's a disservice not just to the public but to journalists across the world who go out every day and do everything within their power, sometimes at great risk to themselves, to get the story right," he said.
"Truth" is told from the points of view of Mapes and Rather, who left CBS News on bitter terms in 2006. He unsuccessfully sued the network and has complained of being "erased" from CBS history. Rather and Mapes have always contended that despite the discredited documents, the underlying story about Bush was true.
In the movie, Rather is portrayed sympathetically by Redford, the actor who played crusading journalist Bob Woodward generations ago. One of the final scenes shows Rather signing off from his last "CBS Evening News" broadcast, with staff members giving him a standing ovation when the camera light switched off.
Brad Fischer, one of the film's producers, expressed surprise about CBS' public denunciation.
"I don't think anyone expected them to send flowers," Fischer said. "To get an official statement from them that is negative was not surprising to anyone involved in the film. I think the one thing that surprised everyone was the tone and the emotional nature."
Redford and Rather have appeared on NBC's "Today" show to talk about the movie, and Blanchett was on ABC's "Good Morning America." Don't expect similar discussions on CBS News: The network's popular "Sunday Morning" broadcast considered Redford for an interview but it was nixed by Executive Producer Rand Morrison, said an executive familiar with Sony's promotional plans who did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the role.
Blanchett appeared on CBS' "Late Show" on Oct. 8, however. Colbert asked her about the film and played a clip of her Mapes portrayal.
In the movie, the independent panel charged with examining CBS' reporting was depicted as hostile and eager to probe into whether Mapes was politically motivated to go after Bush, at the time in the midst of a tough re-election campaign. The panel's report said the facts did not conclude CBS was motivated by an anti-Bush attitude. But producers were criticized for a "myopic zeal" in rushing the story to air.
Some at CBS News are angered by an implication that news executives were pressured to quash the story by corporate owners Viacom, which had business reasons to maintain friendly relations with the Bush administration. A low-level producer is depicted in the movie giving an angry speech about Viacom as the story was falling apart. Mapes was only months removed from a career triumph — breaking an award-winning story about mistreatment of prisoners in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, a story embarrassing to the Bush administration whose veracity wasn't questioned.
The issue presented to filmgoers is whether the so-called "truth" of a story matters more than faults in trying to nail it down. Fischer points out that portions of the film are unflattering to Mapes, particularly the rush to get the story on the air.
Fischer said filmmakers were attracted by the intersection of news, politics and business and the story's status as one of the first to be undone by an Internet outcry.
"I'm excited for people to see the film, and talk about the issues and ask the questions themselves," he said, "because I don't think the movie really draws a conclusion about these things. I don't think it's our job as filmmakers to draw a conclusion, but rather to pose the questions."
