** On the Border
------------------------------------------------------------
President Trump signed a pair of executive actions today to begin ramping up immigration enforcement, including a new border wall with Mexico, vowing that construction on his chief campaign pledge would begin in months, as the
Washington Post’s David Nakamura reports (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-pledges-to-start-work-on-border-wall-within-months/2017/01/25/dddae6ee-e31e-11e6-ba11-63c4b4fb5a63_story.html?utm_term=.0fa6c43478f7&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=758daea365-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_01_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-758daea365-145367789) .

** Crumbling Dictator
------------------------------------------------------------
The highest-ranking defector from North Korea in years said today that the days of the country’s leadership were “numbered,” and that its attempts to control outside information were not working because of corruption and discontent, as the

** Critical Quote
------------------------------------------------------------


** “If the United States is careless in dealing with Islam and the Muslim world, it can also transform a struggle against a small extremist minority—where most violence is a clash within a civilization—into a far more serious actual clash between the West and the Muslim world.”

—CSIS’s Anthony H. Cordesman authored a new commentary today, “Fighting Islamic Extremism: Making Muslims Partners and Not Enemies (https://www.csis.org/analysis/fighting-islamic-extremism-making-muslims-partners-and-not-enemies?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=758daea365-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_01_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-758daea365-145367789) .”

** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
Actress Mary Tyler Moore was an icon of American television. The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which aired from 1970-1977 in which she starred as Mary Richards, television producer, probably inspired thousands of young women and men to pursue careers in news. And, of course, she famously portrayed Dick Van Dyke’s wife Laura Petrie on that groundbreaking show. On the silver screen she was nominated in 1980 for Best Actress in Robert Redford’s directorial debut, Ordinary People.

What I loved about her, what everyone loved about her, was the incredible sense of American optimism and idealism that she portrayed so effortlessly and so humorously on the MTM show. Her boss “Lou Grant,” played by Ed Asner, and her upstairs neighbor “Rhoda,” played by the incomparable Valerie Harper and her anchorman “Ted Baxter” played by Ted Knight, became so well known to us that they were like our own friends and colleagues. The connection between MTM and the American people was simply undeniable.

And it all started with perhaps the most famous opening theme song in television history, “Love is All Around (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NI8WJ85EVw&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=758daea365-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_01_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-758daea365-145367789) ” by Sonny Curtis. The lyric “You’re gonna’ make it after all” is one of music’s most memorable lines.

It’s a real smile, and a tribute to MTM that one of rock’s greatest ladies, Joan Jett, covered it.
