** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Monday, August 20th.

** Venezuelan Exodus
------------------------------------------------------------
The exodus of Venezuelans gained pace as the government’s plans to address the collapsing economy fueled anxiety, while tensions grew in neighboring countries that have strained to absorb refugees, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Kejal Vyas and Ryan Dube report (https://www.wsj.com/articles/venezuelan-crisis-escalates-as-presidents-economic-plans-fuel-tensions-1534723307?mod=hp_major_pos1&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=12c0647167-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_20_07_35&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-12c0647167-145367789) .

** Korean Unification
------------------------------------------------------------
About 90 families from North and South Korea wept and embraced today as the neighbors held their first reunion events in three years for relatives wrenched apart by the Korean War for more than six decades, as Reuters' Hyonhee Shin reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-southkorea-reunions/joy-disbelief-as-korean-families-separated-by-war-meet-after-65-years-idUSKCN1L502P?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=12c0647167-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_20_07_35&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-12c0647167-145367789) .

** More Turkey Talk
------------------------------------------------------------
Turkish President Erdogan today cast a recent currency crisis as an attack on Turkey's economy, no different from a strike against the flag or call to prayer, as CNBC reports (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/20/turkeys-erdogan-says-attack-on-economy-no-different-from-attack-on-flag.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=12c0647167-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_20_07_35&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-12c0647167-145367789) .

I haven’t been able to stop listening to Aretha. As a songwriter, she was one of the all-time greats: “Think,” “Rock Steady” and “Dr. Feelgood” to name a few.

When she covered or sang songs that others wrote she made them hers without dispute.

To me, Aretha’s best album of the 40 she recorded was the Jerry Wexler produced “I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You.” That record was recorded in 1967 at the iconic Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals with one of the greatest bands ever assembled: Spooner Oldham on keyboards/piano, Jimmy Johnson and Chips Moman on guitar, Tommy Cogbill on bass, and Roger Hawkins on drums. And then their was the horn section: Melvin Lastie on trumpet, Charles Chalmers and King Curtis on tenor sax. Of course Aretha’s sisters Erma and Carolyn sang backup with Cissy Houston.

The album contains one smash after another. It opens with “Respect.” It closes with “A Change is Gonna Come.” The title track is a mind blowing, blistering, rocking anthem with a vocal performance that alone would have cemented Aretha’s place in history. And then there is the Dan Penn/Chips Moman penned “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man.” As with Otis Redding’s “Respect,” Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come,” and Ronnie Shannon’s “I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You,” Aretha makes “Do Right Woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1MW6xXjW8g&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=12c0647167-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_20_07_35&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-12c0647167-145367789) ” positively her own.
