Italy's Tour of Lombardy was held without interruption except for 1943 and 1944. The Germans wanted normalcy in their occupied territories. France without the Tour wasn't normal. They asked Jacques Goddet to restart the Tour de France, offering to open the border between German-occupied France and Vichy France.
Intelligence and culture are two very distinct terms. Intelligence can be defined as a personâs cognitive abilities to learn. It is also associated with school performance, IQ, logic, abstract thought, self-awareness, emotional knowledge, memory, planning, creativity, and problem solving.
Quite simply, intelligence is the information our nationâs leaders need to keep our country safe. Our leaders, like the President, make policy decisions based on this intelligence. Since they donât have time to read other countriesâ newspapers or watch foreign TV newscasts, we do that for them â collecting current intelligence. We also gather information other countries may not wish to share openly.
