paragraph: David Atlee Phillips

paragraph: Mary Atlee Phillips (October 31, 1922 – July 7, 1988) was a Central Intelligence Agency officer of 25 years and a recipient of the Career Intelligence Medal. Phillips rose to become the CIA's chief of operations for the Western hemisphere. In 1975 he founded the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), an alumni association comprising intelligence officers from all services.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and military career.

paragraph: Phillips was born in Fort Worth, Texas and attended The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia and Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. Phillips was an actor prior to World War II. During the war, he served as a nose gunner in the United States Army Air Forces. He was shot down over Austria and captured by the Germans, but was somehow able to escape and make it back to Allied lines.

paragraph: Section::::CIA career.

paragraph: Phillips joined the CIA as a part-time agent in 1950 in Chile, where he owned and edited "The South Pacific Mail", an English-language newspaper that circulated throughout South America and several islands in the Pacific. He became a full-time operative in 1954, and operated a major psychological warfare campaign in Guatemala during the US coup and its aftermath. He rose through the ranks to intelligence officer, chief of station and eventually chief of Western hemisphere operations, serving primarily in Latin America, including Cuba, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Phillips retired from the agency in 1975 and founded the Association of Former Intelligence Officers in the same year.

paragraph: Section::::House Select Committee on Assassinations.

paragraph: While investigating Lee Harvey Oswald's possible ties to certain radical groups around the time of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the HSCA obtained statements from Alpha 66 founder Antonio Veciana that Oswald had met on several occasions with a CIA operative known as "Maurice Bishop". After one former CIA case officer (who had been assigned to the JM/WAVE station in Miami) stated to investigators that Phillips had been known to use the alias, the commission attempted to see if Veciana could identify Phillips as being "Bishop". Veciana insisted that he was not the same person and moreover that he had never met Phillips before either. Some committee members (and also lead investigator Gaeton Fonzi) doubted Veciana, reasoning that he should have at least recognized Phillips, a high-profile officer so heavily involved in Cuban operations.

paragraph: In 2014, at a conference named "The Warren Report and the JFK Assassination: Five Decades of Significant Disclosures", Veciana reversed his previous statements, asserting unequivocally that he believed that the agent he knew as Bishop had in fact been David Atlee Phillips.

paragraph: Section::::Conspiracy allegations and lawsuit.

paragraph: In their 1980 book "Death in Washington", authors Donald Freed and Fred Landis charged that the CIA was involved in the 1973 Chilean coup d'état and the 1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier. The authors specifically named Phillips as being involved in a cover-up of the assassination and reiterated Fonzi's claim that Phillips served as Oswald's case officer while using the alias "Maurice Bishop". In 1982, Freed, Landis, and their publisher were named in a $230 million libel suit by Phillips and the AFIO. A settlement was reached in 1976 (?) with Phillips receiving a retraction and an unspecified amount of money. Phillips donated these proceeds to AFIO for the purpose of creating a legal defense fund for American intelligence officers who felt they were the victims of libel.

paragraph: After the death of former CIA agent and Watergate figure E. Howard Hunt in 2007, Saint John Hunt and David Hunt revealed that their father had recorded several claims about himself and others being involved in a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. In the April 5, 2007 issue of "Rolling Stone", Saint John Hunt detailed a number of individuals implicated by his father including Phillips, as well as Lyndon B. Johnson, Cord Meyer, David Sánchez Morales, Frank Sturgis, William Harvey and an assassin he termed "French gunman grassy knoll" who many presume was Lucien Sarti. The two sons alleged that their father cut the information from his memoirs, ""American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate and Beyond"", to avoid possible perjury charges. Hunt's widow and other children told the "Los Angeles Times" that the two sons took advantage of Hunt's loss of lucidity by coaching and exploiting him for financial gain. The newspaper said it examined the materials offered by the sons to support the story and found them to be "inconclusive."

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Phillips wrote and lectured frequently on intelligence matters. He authored five books, including his CIA memoir "The Night Watch", "Careers in Secret Operations: How to Be a Federal Intelligence Officer", "The Terror Brigade," "The Carlos Contract," and "The Great Texas Murder Trials: A Compelling Account of the Sensational T. Cullen Davis Case."

paragraph: Phillips died at his home in Bethesda, Maryland from complications of cancer on July 7, 1988; at the age of 65.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In 1948, Phillips married Helen Hausman Haasch. They had four children, then divorced in 1967. In 1969, he married his second wife, Virginia Pederson Simmons, who had three children from a previous marriage. Together, the couple had one other child.

paragraph: David Webster (anthropologist)

paragraph: Dr David Webster (12 December 1944 – 1 May 1989) was an academic and anti-apartheid activist. He worked as an anthropologist at the University of the Witwatersrand, where he was a senior lecturer at the time of his assassination.

paragraph: Webster was a founding member of the Detainees' Parents' Support Committee (DPSC) in 1981, a founder member of the Five Freedoms Forum, and a committed comrade in the United Democratic Front. Webster was also an active member of the Orlando Pirates supporters' club and he assisted in the mobilisation and organisation of South African musicians during the Struggle in the 1980s.

paragraph: He was a long-term ethnographic researcher and his work near Kosi Bay on the Mozambican border resulted in a number of peer-reviewed academic publications.

paragraph: Webster was assassinated by apartheid security forces outside his home on 1 May 1989.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: David Joseph Webster was born in 1944 in Northern Rhodesia, where his father worked as a miner in the Copperbelt. He studied at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, where he was involved in student politics.

paragraph: In 1970, Webster started teaching anthropology at the University of the Witwatersrand. His doctorate had been written on a traditional topic of anthropology (kinship), but it was focused on a politically explosive field, namely migrant workers from Mozambique. In 1976, he taught for two years with Peter Worsley at the University of Manchester.

paragraph: Webster was active in the political anti-apartheid movement, especially in the 1980s for the Detainees' Parents' Support Committee, an organisation advocating the release of political detainees held without trial in South Africa.

paragraph: Section::::Assassination.

paragraph: Webster was shot dead outside his house at 13 Eleanor Street in Troyeville, Johannesburg, by assassins in the employ of the Civil Cooperation Bureau, a clandestine agency of the apartheid state. The hit squad was paid R40,000 (at the time, equivalent to about US$8,000) for his murder. Ferdi Barnard, the man who pulled the trigger on the shotgun used, was later tried and found guilty in 1998; he was sentenced to two life terms plus 63 years for a number of crimes, including the murder of Webster. Barnard is set to be released from prison on April 2nd 2019, after his parole was approved by Justice and Correctional Services Minister Micheal Masutha in March 2019.

paragraph: Thousands of people attended his funeral service at St Mary's Cathedral, Johannesburg.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Dr Webster was an active member of the Orlando Pirates supporters' club. Members of the supporters' club formed a guard of honour around his coffin at his funeral.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The house in Troyeville where Webster lived with his partner Maggie Friedman has been declared a heritage site. On the site of his assassination outside David Webster House there is a mosaic that includes the words "Assassinated here for his fight against apartheid. Lived for justice, peace and friendship". A nearby park in Clarence Street (previously called Bloemenhof Park) was renamed the David Webster Park on the 20th anniversary of his death. There is also a mosaic in the park by Jacob Ramaboya from the Spaza Gallery which commemorates his life.

paragraph: Mike Sharpe

paragraph: Michael Sharpe (October 28, 1951 – January 17, 2016) was a Canadian professional wrestler better known as "Iron" Mike Sharpe. A second-generation wrestler whose father and uncle (Mike and Ben Sharpe) also competed in the profession, Sharpe was a mainstay for various territories throughout the United States and became a regular for both the World Wrestling Federation and New Japan Pro Wrestling. After his retirement from in-ring competition he opened a wrestling school in Brick, New Jersey, where he trained wrestlers such as Charlie Haas and Nova.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.

paragraph: Sharpe came from a family legacy of wrestling, as his father and uncle were a successful tag team in the 1950s, recognized as champions from San Francisco to Japan. He grew up in California, but moved with his mother back to Canada as a teenager. In high school, he dabbled in boxing and weightlifting before choosing to follow in his father's footsteps.

paragraph: Dewey Robertson trained him for the ring at age 25 and shortly thereafter Sharpe made his mark wrestling for promotions around Canada such as Gene Kiniski's NWA All Star Wrestling. He became a two-time NWA Canadian tag team champion, partnering first with Moose Morowski and later with Salvatore Bellomo, and also won the Pacific Coast Heavyweight Title. His career picked up steam after moving to Louisiana, where he became a fan favorite and won two different Mid-South Wrestling belts - Louisiana champion (two times) and the Mississippi title (also two times) along with a Brass Knucks title in 1979.

paragraph: In January 1983, Sharpe entered the World Wrestling Federation where he would stay until his retirement in 1995. He was a regular of WWF programming throughout the mid-1980s and early 1990s. He was announced and self-proclaimed as "Canada's greatest athlete" (a nickname taken from Kiniski. In 1984, MacLean's verified Sharpe's claim to the title of being Canada's Greatest Athlete, which he held until 1990) and was further distinguished by his near-constant yelling and grunting throughout his matches, as well as a black brace on his right forearm, supposedly protecting an injury but more widely believed to contain a foreign object. Initially in his WWF career he was managed by Captain Lou Albano and received a sizeable push, regularly defeating jobbers after smashing them with his forearm. This culminated on April 30, 1983, with a match against world heavyweight champion Bob Backlund at the Philadelphia Spectrum, where Sharpe was defeated and would never reach such main event heights again. In fact, Sharpe would never hold a title for the promotion, and was primarily used as a jobber to rising WWF stars in television tapings.

paragraph: While Sharpe's television appearances were always as the role of a jobber, and victories even at house shows were rare, he chalked up quite a few untelevised victories between 1984 and 1988. Sharpe had a few more memorable moments over his WWF career. He appeared on "Piper's Pit" in 1984, provided the opposition in Ivan Putski's 1987 comeback match at Madison Square Garden, and pinned Boris Zhukov to reach the second round of the 1988 King Of The Ring tournament. And though he wrestled as a heel in the WWF, Sharpe was also the tag team partner of Hulk Hogan during a tour of Japan against stars of New Japan Pro Wrestling in early 1984 (Hogan was a heel in Japan). Sharpe also wrestled in the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA) in Memphis during late 1984 and early 1985, holding their NWA Mid-America Heavyweight Championship. His last televised match was on June 6, 1995, in a losing tag-team effort with Duane Gill against the Smoking Gunns.

paragraph: After leaving the WWF, Sharpe continued to wrestle. On June 22, 1996, he competed in a match for the Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation where he was defeated by Virgil. On December 7, 1996, Sharpe was defeated by Ax. On December 28, 1996, and March 22, 1997, Sharpe lost to Bodyguard For Hire in the final two matches of his career.

paragraph: For some time after his retirement Sharpe had made his living teaching aspiring wrestlers at Mike Sharpe's School of Pro-Wrestling located in Brick, New Jersey and later Asbury Park, New Jersey (the school has since closed). Among the better known of his protégés are Mike Bucci, Chris Ford and the Haas Brothers, Charlie and Russ.

paragraph: Sharpe was described in at least three books by former wrestling personalities; Dynamite Kid, Hulk Hogan and Gary Michael Cappetta, and by longtime WWF wrestler-commentator Gorilla Monsoon, as having shown characteristics of obsessive-compulsive disorder, as evidenced by a preoccupation with cleanliness that caused him to spend hours washing his hands or showering at arenas and meticulously folding and re-folding his clothing. According to Cappetta, Sharpe's behavior earned him the nickname "Mr. Clean" among his co-workers. At a televised house show in the Boston Garden in March 1986, Monsoon even joked to fellow commentator Lord Alfred Hayes that Sharpe had the first match of the night at a previous Boston show, and was still in the showers when they locked up later that night forcing him to spend the night in the arena. During his WWF career, many commentators also noted that other than his obsessive cleaning, Sharpe was also obsessed with physical fitness and that if he was not in the ring or in the showers, he would be working out.

paragraph: In 2007 he returned to Hamilton to live with his aging mother. That summer while doing a landscaping job he suffered a deep cut to his leg which became infected. He became confined to a wheelchair and ended up living in a basement apartment where he became a recluse. Other health problems developed along the way. Only in 2015 did he allow a videocamera to record him as part of a tribute to Angelo Mosca Sr.

paragraph: Sharpe died on January 17, 2016, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada at the age of 64.

paragraph: Guillem Magret

paragraph: Guillem or Guilhem Magret (; fl. 1195–1210) was a troubadour and jongleur from the Viennois. He left behind eight poems, of which survive a "sirventes" and a "canso" with melodies.

paragraph: According to his "vida", he was a gambler and publican who could not keep the money he earned but spent it away gambling and frequenting taverns, and so he was always ill-equipped for riding. In "Maigret, pujat m’es el cap", a "tenso" with Guilhem Rainol d'Apt, he is despised by his debate partner as a "joglar vielh, nesci, badoc": "an old, silly, stupid jongleur". Despite this, his biographer notes that he was well liked and honoured and his songs were "good".

paragraph: Guillem travelled widely in Spain, sojourning at the courts of Peter II of Aragon and Alfonso IX of León. Eventually he entered a hospital in Spain, in the land of "Lord Roiz Peire dels Gambiaros" (probably Pedro Ruiz de los Cameros), and there ended his life. Among the dates which can be established for Guillem's life are 1196, when he composed a song on the death of Alfonso II and succession of Peter II in Aragon, and 1204, when he wrote a song to celebrate the November coronation of Peter by Pope Innocent III in Rome.

paragraph: Guillem's music is rich, diverse, motivically-varied, and neumatically-textured. "L'aigue puge contremont" contains four unusual B–F leaps, which Guillem probably intended as a motive.

paragraph: Felice Cornicola

paragraph: Felice Cornicola (Latin: "Felix Cornicula"), also Felicius, was a Venetian statesman who served as "magister militum" of Venice in 738. He was the second person to hold the office during the interregnum that followed Doge Orso Ipato's murder in 737. Its first incumbent was Domenico Leoni.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Originally a citizen of Malamocco, he was described as being a mild and unassuming man whose tenure as "magister militum" was marked by justness and moderation. He is said to have become so popular with his subjects that he was able to freely and without challenge rescind the sentence of exile against Teodato Ipato, which had been issued soon after the assassination of his father Orso Ipato. Once his twelve-month term had reached its end, Felicius was succeeded as "magister militum" by Teodato himself, he having gained the favour of the electors since being recalled from exile.

paragraph: Manuel Doukas

paragraph: Manuel Komnenos Doukas, Latinized as Ducas (, "Manouēl Komnēnos Doukas"; c. 1187 – c. 1241), commonly simply Manuel Doukas (Μανουήλ Δούκας) and rarely also called Manuel Angelos (Μανουήλ Ἄγγελος), was ruler of Thessalonica from 1230 to 1237 and, after his expulsion from Thessalonica, of Thessaly from 1239 until his death in c. 1241.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Manuel was a legitimate son of the "sebastokratōr" John Doukas. He was thus a first cousin of the emperors Isaac II Angelos and Alexios III Angelos, and a brother of Michael I Komnenos Doukas and Theodore Komnenos Doukas of Epirus.

paragraph: He married the sister of Serbian Grand Prince Stefan Nemanjić (r. 1196–1228).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Probably after 1225 or 1227 he was given the court dignity of "despotes" by his brother, Theodore. In 1225, he married Maria Asen, the illegitimate daughter of Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria, helping to cement his brother's alliance with this country.

paragraph: After his brother's defeat and capture by the Bulgarians at the Battle of Klokotnitsa in 1230, Manuel was allowed by Ivan Asen II to rule in Thessalonica and its environs with the title of "despotes." At one point Manuel tried to establish contacts with the Papacy, but in 1232 the longstanding breach with the Eastern Patriarchate at Nicaea was finally healed.

paragraph: Manuel ruled peacefully until 1237, when his widowed father-in-law Ivan Asen II married Irene, the daughter of the captive Theodore. At this point Theodore and his sons were released from captivity and resolved to recover the rule of Thessalonica. Manuel was unsuccessful in seeking the support of Prince Geoffrey II Villehardouin of Achaea and was forced to flee to Asia Minor.

paragraph: After a spell among the Seljuks of Rum and in Nicaea, Manuel returned to Greece with Nicaean support in 1239 and captured several fortresses including Larissa and Pharsalos from Theodore's son John Komnenos Doukas, establishing himself as ruler of Thessaly. Theodore and John had to agree to a division of the family lands. When Manuel died about 1241, the area passed into the hands of his other nephew, Michael II Komnenos Doukas of Epirus.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Manuel married Serbian princess Jefimija, sister of Stefan Nemanjić (r. 1196–1228). However, she could not have lived long, as in 1225 he married again, with Bulgarian princess Maria Asen, illegitimate daughter of Ivan Asen II and a mistress, in an arranged marriage, part of a pact. There is no information of them having any children.

paragraph: Manuel may have had a daughter named Helena, who married Guglielmo I da Verona, triarch of Euboea, father of Guglielmo II da Verona.

paragraph: Benjamin De Casseres

paragraph: Benjamin De Casseres (April 3, 1873 – December 7, 1945) (often DeCasseres) was an American journalist, critic, essayist and poet. He was born in Philadelphia and began working at the Philadelphia Press at an early age, but spent most of his professional career in New York City, where he wrote for various newspapers including "The New York Times", "The Sun" and "The New York Herald". He was married to author Bio De Casseres, and corresponded with prominent literary figures of his time, including H. L. Mencken, Edgar Lee Masters, and Eugene O'Neill. He was a distant relative of Baruch Spinoza and was of Sephardic descent.

paragraph: Section::::Writing career.

paragraph: At the age of sixteen, De Casseres started working as an assistant to Charles Emory Smith, editor of the "Philadelphia Press", for $4 per week. At the "Press", De Casseres rose from his position as an assistant to become a "copy boy," editorial paragrapher, dramatic critic, proofreader, and (briefly) city editor. During his ten years at the press, De Casseres had a few publications, including one of his first signed editorials, an article that appeared in "Belford's Magazine" praising Thomas Brackett Reed.

paragraph: In 1899, De Casseres moved from Philadelphia to New York, he worked as a proofreader first for "The New York Sun" until 1903 and then for the "New York Herald", where he remained until 1916. Although his employment at "The Sun" lasted for only four years, he continued to have periodic letters, poems, and reviews published in the book review section. He also wrote reviews for "The New York Times" and "The Bookman".

paragraph: De Casseres' first notable work was an article on "Thomas Hardy's Women," which was published in the October 1902 issue of "The Bookman". Upon receiving a copy of the article from De Casseres, Hardy wrote back and thanked him "for writing so sympathetic an article." By 1904, De Casseres was starting to receive notice in newspapers and magazines as having "an aptitude for saying clever aphoristic things." An essay on Hawthorn written in the same year and published in "The Critic" received a fair amount of attention, with portions of the piece being reprinted in various other publications such as the "New York Times Book Review", and was cited in a Hawthorn bibliography published the following year. In 1922, some of De Casseres's early essays were collected in his book "Chameleon: Being the Book of My Selves".

paragraph: In 1915, De Casseres published his first book, a collection of poetry titled "The Shadow-Eater", to mixed reviews. Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff called the volume "a welcome tribute to individualism and defiance" and the poems themselves "metaphysical meteors, searching, cataclysmic and rich in satire." A review in "The New York Times" favorably compared De Casseres to Walt Whitman, claiming "if his alien, highly individual genius remains unrecognized, criticism will lie upon the public, not upon him." Others, however, received it less favorably. Clement Wood, writing in the "New York Call", mocked both De Casseres' book and Wagstaff's review, writing, "It must be admitted that Mr. De Casseres often uses good rhythms; what they are about is another thing. They are mainly about Nothing, as far as we can gather." By 1923, when the book was reissued by the American Library Service, a reviewer for "Poetry" wrote that De Casseres had lost "the simple sincerity of utterance which is the birthright of the true prophet."

paragraph: Starting in 1918, De Casseres reviewed books for "The Sun", the editor of which (Grant M. Overton) described him as having "a dramatic gift" as a reviewer. During the same period, he reviewed books for "The Bookman", which advertised that "the best of Mr. De Casseres's work appears in the "Bookman"" – to which "The Sun" responded with the claim that "the most glorious book review ever published on any page was Mr. De Casseres's in "Books and the Book World", of "Broome Street Straws" by Robert Cortes Holliday." De Casseres also wrote humorous articles and reviews for the "New York Herald" and "The New York Times".

paragraph: Section::::Politics.

paragraph: De Casseres was interested in politics from an early age. His first signed editorial, published in 1890 when De Casseres was 18, praised the administrative changes Thomas Brackett Reed had recently made as Speaker of the House.

paragraph: De Casseres described himself as an individualist anarchist, and as such he was both a strong advocate of capitalism and a frequent critic of socialism. In October 1909, a letter to the editor of "The Sun" in which De Casseres called socialism the "illusion of the twentieth century" sparked a series of responses in the same publication and others. His frequent comments against socialism peppered the articles that he wrote for popular magazines and journals as well. As a Hearst columnist, De Casseres routinely railed against socialism, communism, and other forms of collectivism, and he excoriated those who promoted such political structures, including H. G. Wells, Upton Sinclair, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

paragraph: De Casseres was also a staunch opponent of Prohibition. He used his position as a well-known editorialist to criticize, often satirically, prohibition policies. In particular, he wrote about the effect of Prohibition on New York City, especially its ineffectiveness of actually preventing drinking. De Casseres was widely reported as the first person to take a legal drink after the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment, he having previously arranged to receive a "flash" telegram from Utah, the last state to ratify the amendment.

paragraph: At various times De Casseres defended free speech. In 1909, he signed onto a petition calling out the police departments of New York City, Brooklyn, Yonkers and East Orange for their respective activities in preventing anarchist Emma Goldman from speaking in those cities.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: De Casseres met Adele Mary Jones ("née" Terrill) in 1902. They were both staying at the same boarding house and only saw each other a few times before Bio (as she preferred to be called) moved West with her husband Harry O. Jones in early 1903. Over the next 16 years, De Casseres and Bio Jones corresponded frequently, developing a long-distance romantic relationship, until Jones divorced her husband in 1919 and married De Casseres the same year. They remained married until De Casseres' death in 1945.

paragraph: In 1931, De Casseres published a collection of letters the couple sent each other during their courtship, titled "The Love Letters of a Living Poet", which highlights the unusual nature of their relationship. In one of the letters, De Casseres describes a dream in which "after thirty years together we were both cremated and our ashes mixed inextricably" and "cast into the depths of the sea" where eventually they are "returned to the ecstatic hermaphroditic union of a great biological-mystical fable."

paragraph: After De Casseres' death, Bio De Casseres published his final collection of essays, titled "Finis", for which she wrote a brief preface. She also authored several works of her own.

paragraph: Section::::Social influence.

paragraph: De Casseres held "an aggressively individualist form of anarchist politics derived primarily from a discomfiting reading of Nietzsche." His views on the idea of the Superman were influential on contemporary writers such as Eugene O'Neill, who called De Casseres an "American Nietzsche" in the foreword to "", and Jack London, who wrote that "no man in my own [philosophical] camp stirs me as does Nietzsche or as does De Casseres." In "The Mutiny of the Elsinore", London named a character with a nihilistic point of view "De Casseres" based on their mutual admiration for French philosopher Jules de Gaultier.

paragraph: According to Marie Saltus, writer and philosopher Edgar Saltus would read the newspaper immediately each morning only if it contained a book review or an article by De Casseres, although the two never met.

paragraph: Artistically, De Casseres has been described as adopting proto-Dada rhetoric as early as 1910.

paragraph: Section::::Bibliography.

paragraph: De Casseres wrote a variety of articles, essays and books on a wide-ranging topics including criticism, international relations and philosophy, as well as drama, fiction and poetry, often adopting a "fin de siècle" style. De Casseres was "an outspoken foe of communism" and, like fellow journalist H. L. Mencken, he was particularly interested in the writings of Nietzsche, having written several articles and books about the philosopher's ideas, including a foreword to "Germans, Jews and France", a compilation of Nietzsche's correspondence.

paragraph: The poem "Moth-Terror" is perhaps De Casseres' most famous work. It was originally collected in the "Second Book of Modern Verse" (edited by De Casseres' colleague Jessie Rittenhouse) and has been included in various other anthologies since then.

paragraph: In 1935, De Casseres self-published a three-volume collection of his work through Blackstone Publishers. Gordon Press reprinted the set in 1976.

paragraph: Bunny Wailer

paragraph: Neville O'Riley Livingston, OM (born 10 April 1947), best known as Bunny Wailer, is a Jamaican singer songwriter and percussionist and was an original member of reggae group The Wailers along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. A three-time Grammy award winner, he is considered one of the longtime standard-bearers of reggae music. He is also known as Bunny Livingston and affectionately Jah B.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and the Wailers.

paragraph: The young Neville Livingston spent his earliest years in the village of Nine Mile in St. Ann Parish. It was there that he first met Bob Marley, and the two toddlers befriended each other quickly. The boys both came from single-parent families; Livingston was brought up by his father, Marley by his mother. Later, Bunny's father Thaddeus "Toddy" Livingston lived with Bob Marley's mother Cedella Booker and had a daughter with her named Pearl Livingston. Peter Tosh had a son, Andrew Tosh, with another of Bunny's sisters, Shirley, making Andrew his nephew.

paragraph: Bunny had originally gone to audition for Leslie Kong at Beverley's Records in 1962, around the same time Bob Marley was cutting "Judge Not". Bunny had intended to sing his first composition, "Pass It On", which at the time was more ska-oriented. However, Bunny was late getting out of school, missed his audition, and was told he wasn't needed. A few months later, in 1963; he formed "The Wailing Wailers" with his step-brother Bob Marley and friend Peter Tosh, and the short-lived members Junior Braithwaite and Beverley Kelso. As he was by some way the least forceful of the group, he tended to sing lead vocals less often than Marley and Tosh in the early years, but when Bob Marley left Jamaica in 1966 for Delaware, replacing Bunny with Constantine "Vision" Walker, he began to record and sing lead vocals on some of his own compositions, such as "Who Feels It Knows It", "I Stand Predominant" and "Sunday Morning". His music was very influenced by gospel and the soul of Curtis Mayfield. In 1967, he recorded "This Train", based on a gospel standard, for the first time, at Studio One.

paragraph: He was arrested on charges of possession of cannabis in June 1967 and served a 14-month prison sentence.

paragraph: As the Wailers regularly changed producers in the late-1960s he continued to be underused as a writer and lead vocalist, though was a key part of the group's distinctive harmonies. He sang lead on "Dreamland" (a cover of El Tempos' My Dream Island, which soon became Bunny's signature song), "Riding High", "Brainwashing" and on one verse of the Wailers' Impressions-like "Keep On Moving", both produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry. In 1971, he recorded the original version of "Pass It On" which was released on dubplate and wasn't widely known until it appeared on JAD's "Original Cuts" compilation many years later - this version of the song features different lyrics and music in the verses to the later versions of "Pass It On" - Bunny would later reuse these in "Innocent Blood". By 1973, each of the three founding Wailers operated their own label, Marley with Tuff Gong, Tosh with H.I.M. Intel Diplo, and Bunny Wailer with Solomonic. He sang lead vocals on "Reincarnated Souls", the B-side of the Wailers first Island single of the new era, and on two tracks on the Wailers last trio LP, ""Burnin"'", "Pass it On" (which had been cut as a sound-system only dub plate five years earlier) and "Hallelujah Time". By now he was recording singles in his own right, cutting "Searching For Love", "Life Line", "Bide Up", "Arab Oil Weapon" and "Pass It On" (a new recording of the Wailers song) for his own label.

paragraph: Bunny Wailer toured with the Wailers in England and the United States, but soon became reluctant to leave Jamaica. He and Tosh became more marginalised in the group as the Wailers became an international success, and attention was increasingly focused on Marley. Bunny subsequently left the Wailers in 1973 to pursue a solo career after refusing to tour when Chris Blackwell wanted the Wailers to tour freak clubs in the United States, stating that it was against his Rastafari principles. Before leaving the Wailers, Bunny became more focused on his spiritual faith. He identified with the Rastafari movement, as did the other Wailers. He has also written much of his own material as well as re-recording a number of cuts from the Wailers catalogue. Bunny Wailer has recorded primarily in the roots style, in keeping with his often political and spiritual messages. He and Tosh would frequently sing each other's background vocals in the start of their solo careers. The album "Blackheart Man" is a good example of his roots reggae style.

paragraph: Section::::Solo career.

paragraph: After leaving the Wailers, He experimented with disco on his album "Hook Line & Sinker "while "Sings the Wailers" successfully reworks many of The Wailers songs with the backing of top Jamaican musicians, Sly and Robbie. He has also had success recording in the typically apolitical, more pop, dancehall style. He has outlived his contemporaries in a culture where death by violence is commonplace.

paragraph: However, he also had a dancehall/Rockers edge that was best exemplified by the album "Bunny Wailer Sings the Wailers" in which he re-interprets some of the Wailers material as a solo Roots singer backed by a solid Sly & Robbie based Roots reggae grouping. The album produced by Bunny Wailer, was recorded at Harry J Studio. Some of these tracks are re-worked classic Wailers tracks (e.g. "Dreamland" — a cover of El Tempos' "My Dream Island" with slightly reworked lyrics that became Bunny's signature song. This was first recorded in 1966 by Clement Coxsone Dodd, and later in 1970 with Lee "Scratch" Perry, then, released as a 7" in 1971 with a U-Roy version on the B -Side). Another classic is "Dancing Shoes", first recorded in the mid-1960s as a driving ska/soul classic with Bunny Wailer as lead vocal.

paragraph: Bunny Wailer has won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1991 for the album "Time Will Tell: A Tribute to Bob Marley", 1995 for "Crucial! Roots Classics", and 1997 for "Hall of Fame: A Tribute to Bob Marley 's 50th Anniversary (RAS)". He was also featured on the album "True Love" by Toots and the Maytals, which won the Grammy Award in 2004 for Best Reggae Album, and showcased many notable musicians including Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Trey Anastasio, Gwen Stefani / No Doubt, Ben Harper, Bonnie Raitt, Manu Chao, The Roots, Ryan Adams, Keith Richards, Toots Hibbert, Paul Douglas, Jackie Jackson, Ken Boothe, and The Skatalites.

paragraph: Today, Bunny resides in Kingston and on a farm located in the interior of Jamaica (Saint Thomas), according to Bob Marley's official website. Bunny Wailer and Beverley Kelso are the only surviving members of the original Wailers.

paragraph: In August 2012 it was announced that Bunny Wailer would receive Jamaica's fifth highest honour, the Order of Jamaica.

paragraph: In 2016, he played a month-long 'Blackheart Man' tour to celebrated the 40th anniversary of his 1976 album.

paragraph: In October 2017 he was awarded the Order of Merit by the Jamaican government, the nation's fourth-highest honour.

paragraph: In October 2018, Wailer suffered a minor stroke, resulting in speech problems.

paragraph: Francesco Franceschi (horticulturist)

paragraph: Francesco Franceschi (1843–1924), known in Italy under his birth name of "Cavalier. 'Emanuele Orazio Fenzi"', was an Italian banker and horticulturist who spent part of his later career in the United States, where his efforts contributed to the introduction of new plant species in southern California.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Cavalier. Emanuele Orazio Fenzi was born on March 12, 1843 in Florence, Italy to Orazio and Emilia Fenzi, members of the wealthy Fenzi family involved in banking and railroads. He was the grandson of Emanuele Fenzi, and he was raised at Palazzo Fenzi by his grandparents following the early death of his parents. He graduated from the University of Pisa, from which he received a degree in political science and administration. Although he manifested an early interest in botany and gardening—especially tropical species—he initially acceded to his grandfather's desire that he go into the Banca Fenzi. He pursued his horticultural interests at the Villa Sant' Andrea in Percussina where he developed a botanical garden. He was a founding member of the Italian Botanical Society in 1878, and he was a member of the Royal Tuscan Society of Horticulture, serving first as its secretary and then as its president. Over the course of his life, he developed into an expert on succulents, palms, and bamboo, and he is credited with introducing such species as bamboo and eucalyptus into Italy. In 1878, he introduced the first threshing machine to Italy.

paragraph: In 1870 he married his cousin Cristina the daughter of Cavalier. Sebastiano Fenzi and his wife Emily Verity, they had six children. Following an economic crisis in Italy that decimated the family's Bank and wealth, he emigrated with his wife and three of their children to America in 1891. For his new life in the United States, he took a new name: Francesco Franceschi.

paragraph: Section::::California years.

paragraph: After two years in Los Angeles, Franceschi moved to Santa Barbara. There, he and local landscape architect Charles Frederick Eaton jointly founded the Southern California Acclimatizing Association in 1893 to introduce new species from around the world to California. It was initially headquartered at Eaton's Montecito estate of Riso Rivo, which became a botanical nursery for their experiments in plant propagation. Eaton planted an enormous variety of both native and non-native trees at Riso Rivo, including live oak, camphor, cinnamon, avocado, Abyssinian banana, candlenut, and many species of citrus and palms. Many kinds of seeds were also grown on the estate in their attempt to determine which were suitable for southern California's Mediterranean climate.

paragraph: The partnership with Eaton ended in 1895 when Franceschi moved the SCAA to Santa Barbara from Riso Rivo, where he ran it as a combination experiment station and commercial nursery. He incorporated the SCAA in 1907 as a partnership with a local nurseryman named Peter Riedel who had immigrated from Holland. During this phase of the SCAA's existence, it propagated trees for use along Santa Barbara's city streets, some of which can still be seen. The partnership ended badly after just two years, in a lawsuit between the partners from which Riedel walked away with both the SCAA and its prime location in downtown Santa Barbara. Today the SCAA is recognized as the first nursery to "scientifically evaluate new plants for California's climatic conditions". The SCAA's 1900 general catalog runs to over 100 pages of trees (especially palms, cycads, and bamboo), shrubs, and flowers. There are special sections on fruit-bearing plants, California natives, trees for street planting, and drought-resistant plants.

paragraph: In 1903, Franceschi's wife bought 40 acres of land on Mission Ridge in Santa Barbara. They named the property Montarioso and built an American Craftsman style redwood house on it. It was one of the earliest houses built in what is now known as Santa Barbara's Riviera. Franceschi turned about 10 acres of the land—which at 800 feet above sea level was in an almost entirely frost-free zone—into a scientifically organized nursery and botanic garden. Franceschi was an early advocate of xeriscaping, and the grounds of Montarioso included many species of cactus, aloe, agave, acacia, and—most spectacularly—a palm tree “amphitheater” embracing about a hundred different species that he had grown from seed. He experimented with the low-growing ornamental frogfruit as an alternative to traditional lawns.

paragraph: Ultimately, through Franceschi's (and the SCAA's) efforts, some 200 new plant species were introduced to California. Two years before he died, Franceschi was awarded the Meyer Memorial Medal by the American Genetic Association in recognition of his contributions to his adopted country.

paragraph: Franceschi was the first scientist to describe the Franceschi palm ("Brahea elegans"), which was named for him. It is currently considered a synonym for Brahea armata, also known as Mexican blue palm, though a few experts hold it to be a locally adapted variety of "Brahea aculeata" due to its similar morphology and coloration.

paragraph: During the American years, Franceschi was also a contributor to "Bailey’s Cyclopedia of American Horticulture" and published a comprehensive account of local gardens ("Santa Barbara Exotic Flora", 1895).

paragraph: Section::::Later years and legacy.

paragraph: By 1909, partly as a result of the SCAA lawsuit, Franceschi was in financial difficulties. After the city of Santa Barbara failed to take up his proposal to turn Montarioso into a city-sponsored arboretum, he began selling off parts of the property. Not long afterwards, after two decades in southern California, Franceschi moved back to Italy with his wife and took up his birth surname of Fenzi again. In 1912, the Italian government hired him to go to Libya—then the colony of Italian Tripolitania within Italian North Africa—and work on introducing new plant species suitable for the north African climate. In Libya, he started a nursery and a number of related projects: a collection of date species from around Tripoli, a herbarium of native plants, and a reorganization of the library at the School of Agriculture. His plant introductions in Libya include eucalyptus (which his nursery supplied for planting along Libya's railroad lines), avocado, Natal plum, and bamboo.

paragraph: Fenzi died in Libya in 1924. After his death, part of his Santa Barbara estate was bought by a wealthy American philanthropist, Alden Freeman, who greatly admired Franceschi's work. Through his efforts, the property was enlarged and the house remodeled in a Mediterranean style. In 1931, Freeman donated them to the city of Santa Barbara. The grounds are now open to the public as Franceschi Park, while funds are being sought to convert Franceschi House (which suffered decades of deferred maintenance and general neglect) to a horticultural center.

paragraph: Dan Deșliu

paragraph: Dan Deșliu (August 31, 1927 – September 4, 1992) was a Romanian poet.

paragraph: Born in Bucharest, his parents were Ștefan Deșliu, an accountant at the Bulandra theatre company and later administrator of the Workers' Theatre, and his wife Elena ("née" Săndulescu). He began secondary school at Matei Basarab Lyceum in his native city, followed by the Mediaș aeronautics school and the Bucharest industrial and building high school. He then attended the Dramatic Arts Conservatory under Maria Filotti. From 1946 to 1948, he appeared as an actor at Petroșani and Bucharest, also working as an editor for "Flacăra" magazine. He was later an editor at "Scînteia" and, between 1961 and 1962, was editor-in-chief at "Luceafărul". His first published work was the sonnet "Paseri", which appeared in George Călinescu's "Lumea" in 1945; his first book was the 1949 "Goarnele inimii". He won the State Prize in 1949, 1950 and 1951, and in 1974 was awarded the Romanian Writers' Union Prize for his book "Cetatea de pe aer". In 1978, he took the same prize for "Un haiduc pe bicicletă". Together with Eugen Frunză, he composed the lyrics for "Te slăvim, Românie", which served as Romania's national anthem from 1953 to 1977.

paragraph: During the 1940s and '50s, he quickly came to the literary forefront as a representative poet of his era, much lauded for his militant socialist realist poetry that enthusiastically chronicled the events of the day. This was embodied by his first book as well as the ones that followed across the next decade: "Lazăr de la Rusca" (1949), "Minerii din Maramureș" (1951), "Cântec de ruină" (1957) and "Ceva mai greu" (1958). Afterwards, he attempted a shift toward a skeptically elegiac, obsessive lyricism that dealt with regret and lack of fulfillment ("Cercuri de copac", 1962; "Drumul spre Dikson", 1969; "Cetatea de pe aer", 1974).

paragraph: Starting in 1962 and particularly from 1970, he began to criticize the policies of the Romanian Communist Party, and as a result was placed under thorough surveillance by the Securitate secret police. In the 1980s, he turned toward open dissidence, repudiating his "revolutionary" past, quitting the party in 1980 and directly criticizing dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, whom he accused of behaving as if he were "the owner of Romania". In March 1989, he sent an open letter to Radio Free Europe decrying the domestic situation in his country, prompting his placement under house arrest. An excellent swimmer, Deșliu drowned at Neptun nearly three years after the Romanian Revolution; it is unknown whether his death was accidental or deliberate. After a thorough search covering the 20 km between Costinești and Vama Veche, his intact body was found after eight days beside the dock of Ceaușescu's former villa in Neptun. A diary of his, likely written in 1990-1991, appeared in 2001.

paragraph: Phil McKinnely

paragraph: Philip Byron "Phil" McKinnely (born July 8, 1954) is a former American football offensive tackle who played seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL), mainly for the Atlanta Falcons, and then in the United States Football League (USFL) for the Memphis Showboats and Birmingham Stallions. After retiring as a player, McKinnely became an American football official, working in college football's Southeastern Conference and NFL Europe before joining the NFL in 2002 as a head linesman. As an official, he wears uniform number 110 and was on the 2018 NFL officiating crew headed by referee Bill Vinovich that is famously known for a blatant non-call that would alter the course of the NFC Championship game, although he was replaced before the start of the game by Patrick Turner. McKinnely was not present in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome when the play happened. The missed pass interference call and helmet to helmet hit has called into question the league office’s integrity and stemming the wave of violent helmet hits to the head.

paragraph: He was accused by Samari Rolle of calling him "boy" on December 3, 2007, during a game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots. The alleged exchange occurred late in the game when the Patriots retook the lead with 44 seconds remaining. Several penalties occurred in the closing minutes, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when Raven Linebacker Bart Scott picked up a penalty flag and threw it into the stands in frustration of hearing the banter of Rolle and McKinnely. After the game, Rolle vented in the locker room to the reporters, "The refs called me a boy. No. 110 called me a boy, I will be calling my agent in the morning and sending my complaint. I have a wife and three kids. Don't call me a boy. Don't call me a boy on the field during a game because I said, 'You've never played football before." The NFL investigated the accusation.
