paragraph: A. J. Liebling

paragraph: Abbott Joseph "A. J." Liebling (October 18, 1904 – December 28, 1963) was an American journalist who was closely associated with "The New Yorker" from 1935 until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Liebling was born into a well-off family on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where his father worked in New York's fur industry. His mother, Anna Adelson Slone, was from San Francisco. After early schooling in New York, Liebling was admitted to Dartmouth College in the fall of 1920. His primary activity during his undergraduate career was as a contributor to the Jack-O-Lantern, Dartmouth's nationally known humor magazine. He left Dartmouth without graduating, later claiming he was "thrown out for missing compulsory chapel attendance". He then enrolled in the School of Journalism at Columbia University.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early years.

paragraph: After finishing there, he began his career as a journalist at the "Evening Bulletin" of Providence, Rhode Island. He worked briefly in the sports department of" The New York Times", from which he supposedly was fired for listing the name "Ignoto" (Italian for "unknown") as the referee in results of games.

paragraph: In 1926, Liebling's father asked if he would like to suspend his career as a journalist to study in Paris for a year.

paragraph: Liebling later wrote that the unsuitable proposed marriage was a fiction intended less to swindle his father than to cover his own pride at being the recipient of such generosity.

paragraph: Thus in summer 1926, Liebling sailed to Europe where he studied French medieval literature at the Sorbonne in Paris. By his own admission his devotion to his studies was purely nominal, he seeing the year as a chance to absorb French life and appreciate French food. Although he stayed for little more than a year, this interval inspired a lifelong love for France and the French, later renewed in his war reporting. He returned to Providence in autumn 1927 to write for the "Journal". He then moved to New York, where he proceeded to campaign for a job on Joseph Pulitzer's "New York World", which carried the work of James M. Cain and Walter Lippmann and was known at the time as "the writer's paper." In order to attract the attention of the city editor, James W. Barrett, Liebling hired an out-of-work Norwegian seaman to walk for three days outside the Pulitzer Building, on Park Row, wearing sandwich boards that read "Hire Joe Liebling". It turned out that Barrett habitually used a different entrance on another street, and never saw the sign. He wrote for the "World" (1930–31) and the "World-Telegram" (1931–35).

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"New Yorker".

paragraph: Liebling joined "The New Yorker" in 1935. His best pieces from the late thirties are collected in "Back Where I Came From" (1938) and "The Telephone Booth Indian" (1942).

paragraph: During World War II, Liebling was active as a war correspondent, filing many stories from Africa, England, and France. His war began when he flew to Europe in October 1939 to cover its early battles, lived in Paris until June 10, 1940, and then returned to the United States until July 1941, when he flew to Britain. He sailed to Algeria in November 1942 to cover the fighting on the Tunisian front (January to May 1943). His articles from these days are collected in "The Road Back to Paris" (1944). He participated in the Normandy landings on D Day, and he wrote a memorable piece concerning his experiences under fire aboard a U.S. Coast Guard-staffed landing craft off Omaha Beach. He afterwards spent two months in Normandy and Brittany, and was with the Allied forces when they entered Paris. He wrote afterwards: "For the first time in my life and probably the last, I have lived for a week in a great city where everybody was happy." Liebling was awarded the Cross of the Légion d'honneur by the French government for his war reporting.

paragraph: Following the war he returned to regular magazine fare and for many years after he wrote a "New Yorker" monthly feature called "Wayward Press", in which he analyzed the US press. Liebling was also an avid fan of boxing, horse racing and food, and frequently wrote about these subjects.

paragraph: In 1947 he published "The Wayward Pressman", a collection of his writings from "The New Yorker" and other publications.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Hiss Case.

paragraph: During the late forties, he vigorously criticized the House Un-American Activities Committee and became friends with Alger Hiss.

paragraph: In 1949, he published "Of Mink and Red Herring", a "second book of critical articles on New York newspapers," which included his critique of the "scurrilous journalism" applied to victims of "Elizabeth Bentley and her ilk." On July 23, 1949, the "New Yorker" magazine published an article by Liebling entitled "Spotlight on the Jury" in which he opened by stating "The trial of Alger Hiss, which produced some of the best and some of the worst newspaper copy of our time" and concluded "This sort of thing obviously and apparently lessens the chance of a fair trial next time. Perhaps the secrecy of the jury room, like that of the voting booth, should be protected by law."

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Last years.

paragraph: In 1961, Liebling published "The Earl of Louisiana", originally published as a series of articles in "The New Yorker" in which he covered the trials and tribulations of the governor of Louisiana, Earl K. Long, the younger brother of the Louisiana politician Huey Long.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and death.

paragraph: He married Ann Beatrice McGinn, a former movie theater ticket taker he had met while she was working in Providence, Rhode Island, on July 28, 1934. McGinn suffered from either manic depression or schizophrenia, which caused her to have hallucinations and go into fugue states. Her illness required many lengthy and expensive hospital stays and when she was out of the hospital, she was often heavily sedated. Both Liebling and McGinn committed infidelities during their marriage.

paragraph: In 1946 he and his wife separated. They divorced on August 30, 1949, in Reno, Nevada. Two days later he married Lucille Spectorsky, the ex-wife of Auguste Comte Spectorsky, in Virginia City, Nevada. Spectorsky was described by Liebling's friend and "New Yorker" editor Gardner Botsford as "a big blonde from rural Kentucky, amiable if dumb." Liebling and Spectorsky divorced in 1959 and he married author Jean Stafford that same year.

paragraph: On December 19, 1963, Liebling was hospitalized for bronchopneumonia. He died on December 28 at Mount Sinai Hospital, and was buried in the Green River Cemetery, East Hampton, New York.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Liebling's papers are archived at Cornell University.

paragraph: Theodora (wife of Theophilos)

paragraph: Theodora (, c. 815 – after 867) was a Byzantine empress as the spouse of the Byzantine emperor Theophilos, and regent of her son, Michael III, from Theophilos' death in 842 to 855. For her restoration of the veneration of icons, which ended the Byzantine Iconoclasm, she is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church; her Feast Day is February 11. Several churches hold her as their patron saint.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Originally from Paphlagonia, Theodora was of Armenian aristocratic descent. The names of her parents were preserved in Theophanes Continuatus, the continuation of the chronicle started by Theophanes the Confessor. They were Marinos, a drungarios, and Theoktiste Phlorina. Some modern genealogists, including Cyril Toumanoff and Nicholas Adontz, have suggested a link of Theodora's family with the Armenian noble clan of the Mamikonian. According to Nina Garsoïan in the "Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium", however, "[a]ttractive though it is, this thesis cannot be proven for want of sources." Thus genealogists attribute Mamikonian ancestry to Marinos; he is an alleged son of Artavazd Mamikonian, who was head of the House in the 770s. Artavazd headed a large-scale Armenian rebellion against the Abbasid Caliphate that was crushed in the Battle of Bagrevand in 775, after which the family lost power, and many of its members found refuge in Byzantium. Manuel the Armenian, a leading general of Theophilos, was her uncle.

paragraph: Theodora was a sister of Bardas and Petronas. Theophanes also records three sisters: Kalomaria, Sophia and Irene. Irene reportedly married Sergios, brother of Patriarch Photios I of Constantinople.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: In 829, Theophilos succeeded to the throne. He was sixteen-years-old and unmarried. The following year his stepmother, Euphrosyne, proclaimed a bride-show. Potential brides from every theme travelled from their homelands to Constantinople, Theodora among them. The poet Kassia was said to have taken part.

paragraph: The bride-show took place in May, 830, and Theodora was chosen to become empress, probably by her new mother-in-law. The marriage took place on 5 June 830, in Hagia Sophia. Euphrosyne soon retired to a convent and Theodora remained the only Augusta.

paragraph: Section::::Empress consort.

paragraph: The family of Theodora seems to have followed her to court. Her brothers became officials and her sisters married into the court aristocracy. During her own marriage she bore Theophilus five daughters and two sons, the younger of whom became the future Michael III.

paragraph: Despite the fact that Theophilus was an iconoclast, Theodora held fast to the veneration of icons which she kept in her chambers in the imperial palace. One story holds that a servant witnessed her venerating her icons and reported her to the emperor. When her husband confronted her about the incident she stated that she had merely been "playing with dolls." Two of her icons are kept at the monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos to this day and are referred to as "Theodora's Dolls". They are displayed annually on the Sunday of Orthodoxy.

paragraph: Theodora is said to have intervened to save Lazarus Zographos from further torture under her husband. Whether their opposing religious beliefs strained their relationship is unclear. Theophilus' health however eventually failed and he died on 20 January 842. He was about twenty-nine years old.

paragraph: Section::::Empress Regent.

paragraph: Following the death of her husband, Theodora served as regent for her son Michael. She overrode Theophilus' ecclesiastical policy and summoned a council under the patriarch Methodius, in which the veneration, but not worship, of icons (images of Jesus Christ and the saints) was finally restored and the iconoclastic clergy deposed.

paragraph: She carried on the government with a firm and judicious hand; she replenished the treasury and deterred the Bulgarians from an attempt at invasion. However, it was during her regency that a vigorous persecution of the Paulician heresy commenced.

paragraph: In order to perpetuate her power she purposely neglected her son's education, and therefore must be held responsible for the voluptuous character which he developed under the influence of his uncle Bardas, who was Theodora's brother and likewise of Mamikonian heritage.

paragraph: Theodora endeavoured in vain to combat Bardas's authority; in 855 she was displaced from her regency at his prompting, and being subsequently convicted of intrigues against him was relegated to the monastery of Gastria in 857. Both Bardas and Michael would eventually be assassinated by Basil I, who would then usurp the throne and establish the Macedonian Dynasty. Theodora would die sometime after her son's murder in 867. It is probable that Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Stephen I and emperor Leo VI the Wise who is ancestor to the all latter emperors of Macedonian Dynasty are Theodora grandsons. She was canonized in recompense for her zeal on behalf of the restoration of icons as objects of veneration. Her feast day is February 11.

paragraph: Section::::Children.

paragraph: Theodora and Theophilos had seven children. Listed here in the order given by Theophanes:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Constantine, co-emperor from c. 833 to c. 835.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Thekla (c. 831 – after 867). She was named "Augusta" and her image appears in coinage during the regency of her mother. Later exiled to a monastery by her brother Michael.

categories: 18th-century Scottish women,1766 births,Robert Burns

paragraph: Helen Hyslop

paragraph: Helen Hyslop, also Nelly or Ellen Hyslop was a 'noted local beauty' in Moffat and a strong local tradition maintains that Robert Burns was for some time a great admirer of her and that she had an affair with Robert Burns. A daughter, also Helen, is said to have been born as a result of this liaison. Parish records show that a Helen Hyslop, the mother of Burns's possible daughter, was born in the area in 1766, her parents being John Hyslop and Janet Howatson of Langholm.

paragraph: Section::::Associates.

paragraph: An article was published in a Moffat newspaper in circa 1885 recalling that a Mrs Richardson of Moffat, born in 1864, recalled running messages as a child for Helen Armstrong, the daughter's married name, and knew her as a daughter of Robert Burns.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.

paragraph: Little detail is extant regarding Ellen/Helen or Nelly, other than her good looks. The daughter, also Ellen/Helen, after retiring, lived until the age of ninety-eight in the same little back street in Moffat where she had been born. The daughter is said in an 1887 report in the Pall Mall Gazette to have born a strong physical likeness to Robert Burns's portraits when she was young and even retained a strong resemblance to her death, having similar contours of her face and the poet's dark, bright eyes.

paragraph: This daughter entered service at around the age of seven and eventually married a Mr Armstrong. Helen Armstrong worked for 30 years at the Buccleuch Arms in Thornhill as a cook, then run by the Glendinning family, only leaving when the last of that family died.

paragraph: Helen Armstrong's mental faculties are also said to have additionally indicated her parentage, for ""her conversational powers and her quickness of repartee were most amusing anmd attractive"". She was popular and in her old age was well cared for by friends, her husband having died many years before and she had no family of her own.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.:The gravestone.

paragraph: The gravestone in Moffat old kirk cemetery records ""In Memory of Ellen Hyslop who died at Moffat 8th March 1852 aged 87 years."" The later inscription for her daughter reads ""Also Ellen Armstrong her daughter, who died 13th April 1886, aged 98 years." The stone makes no reference to a father and the surname used for the mother is therefore that of her parents. In deeply religious times the placing in such a prominent position of the details of an unmarried mother and her daughter is unusual.

paragraph: The mother could have been born in 1766 as previously stated. Her daughter would have been born circa 1788/9 and is confirmed to have died in Moffat, having returned here from Thornhill. Robert Burns is known to have visited the area to meet Allan Masterton and William Nicol and wrote "Willie Brew'd A Peck O' Maut" in 1789 as a memorial to the meeting.

paragraph: Section::::Micro-history.

paragraph: Helen once saw Sir Walter Scott when he came into the kitchen at the Buccleuch Arms and spoke to the head cook. Sir Walter was on a journey to visit the Duke of Buccleuch at nearby Drumlanrig Castle.

paragraph: Westwood has it that "numerous press reports" reported her death at the age of 97/98.

paragraph: Section::::Association with Robert Burns.

paragraph: The Helen Hyslop from Langholm is not recorded in the parish register as having had a child. It is clear however from her gravestone's inscription that a daughter, also Ellen or Helen, did exist and given that many illegitimate children were not recorded in parish registers at this time the connection with Burns remains possible but 'not proven'. Burns is known to have frequented the town to take the waters of the Moffat Well and the Hartfell Spa. The fact of his relationship with Robert Burns was well known in the town and the neighbourhood.

paragraph: He was well known in the local inns, such as the Black Bull in Moffat town centre, where he left his mark in the original inn by making an inscription on one of the windows using his diamond pen. A replica of the window is on display, along with many other Burns memorablia, in what is now called the 'Burns Room' in honour of the poet.

paragraph: Some confusion exists between Ann Park and the Helen Hyslop story, for Ann's name is recorded with variations such as Ann Hyslop, Helen Anne Hislop, Helen Hyslop, Etc. Ann Park was possibly a second-cousin of William 'Jock' Hyslop,

paragraph: Teresa Andrés Zamora

paragraph: Teresa Andrés Zamora (1907–1946) was a Spanish librarian who led the Sección de Bibliotecas de Cultura Popular. She was a Valenician Ministry of Public Instruction delegate, communist militant, feminist, republican and trade unionist. Andrés fled into exile, first in Belgium and afterwards in France where she was involved in politics until her death on 5 July 1946 from leukaemia.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Teresa Andrés Zamora was born in Villalba de los Alcores. She grew up in Creció in Cevico de la Torre, province of Palencia, where four brothers (Troadio Félix, Dionisio, Mariano and Victoriano) and a sister (Isabel) were born.

paragraph: Andrés studied for her bachelor's degree in Palencia, living in a flat rented with her grandmother, and matriculating with high honors. During the years 1923 to 1927, she studied Philosophy and Letters in Valladolid, at the same time studying additional subjects, such as Teaching. In 1928, with the intention of working on a doctorate, Andrés moved to the Residence of Misses in Madrid.

paragraph: During her studies 1928–29 and 1930–31, Andrés was a teacher at the Institute-School, where she gave classes in geography. Here, Andrés became aware of the fight for women's rights. During the 1928–29 term, Clara Campoamor spoke at a conference on "How to create the woman on the Right". In 1928, she participated in Madrid at the International Congress of University Women. Included among the participants were representatives of the International Federation of University Women, some of which lodged in the same Pavilion as the Residence of Misses, were Andrés resided.

paragraph: During her stay at the Residence, Andrés collaborated with the Institution's activities. One of them was a trip to Andalucia, during which she gave an art presentation in collaboration with the Centre of Historical Studies for the "Missions of art" which was set up the architect Pablo Gutiérrez. During the 1933–34 term, Andrés and Encarnación Cobré Herrero spoke at four conferences, with some of the work used as an object of her doctoral thesis. She continued working on her doctorate under the guidance of the man who would become her husband Emili Gómez Nadal

paragraph: After examinations in 1931, she became the director of the Archaeologic Museum in León. In 1931, she was appointed the director of the Archive of the National Palace, commissioned to organise and safeguard the palace fonds. The Board of Enlargement of Studies granted her a scholarship in 1932 for eleven months in Germany. There, she witnessed the ascension of Hitler. She took courses of mediaeval archaeology, German sculpture of the 14th century, and mediaeval painting, at the Institute of History of Art at the University of Berlin. She also worked in several libraries and museums. She returned to Spain in September 1933 and advanced in his doctoral thesis, "La rejería en España", under the direction of Gómez Moreno.

paragraph: In 1935, she received two more scholarships, one in the Section of Archaeology at the Centre of Historical Investigations for a trip of studies with the end to do an investigation in the Cathedrals of Cuenca, Valencia, Barcelona and Saragossa. There was another scholarship in 1936. She died in Paris in that year.

paragraph: Ron Linden

paragraph: Ron Linden (born 1940, Chicago, Illinois) is a California abstract painter, independent curator, and associate professor of art at Los Angeles Harbor College, Wilmington. He lives and works in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Linden received his Bachelor of Fine Art and Masters in Fine Art at the University of Illinois. His classmates included artists William Wegman, Guy Goodwin. Louise Fishman, William Mahan, Al Loving, Robert H. Cumming, and Gerald Hayes. Linden also attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

paragraph: In 1972, Linden relocated to California. He worked as a scenic artist in the Hollywood film industry for 25 years. He helped establish artist communities in Pasadena, downtown Los Angeles and San Pedro, California.

paragraph: In 1978, Linden received the individual artist's grant in painting from National Endowment for the Arts.

paragraph: Section::::Criticism and commentary.

paragraph: In 1975, Jeff Perone wrote in "Artforum" magazine about Linden's work in "Both Kinds: Contemporary Art in L.A.":

paragraph: "... Precious objects are precious objects and my personal preferences from Diebenkorn 1945, to Linden 1975 means the same thing; the works resemble each other closely, only Linden's a little more loose in technique and tighter in concept. It does not matter how far the distance traveled, chronologically or psychologically. The new looks like the old, and the good things, new or old, are tradition, as in the new tradition, a tradition that looks good. Linden is expressing himself, goddamnit."

paragraph: Also writing on the "Both Kinds: Contemporary Art in L.A." in "Artweek", Judith Dunham observes: "Linden works with acrylic and graphite, combining both to make a sooty, crusty, intentionally rough and ugly surface. He limits color to graphite blacks and grays, warm acrylic neutrals so that the motions of painting are paramount in the final products."

paragraph: In the "Los Angeles Times", Suzanne Muchnic writes:

paragraph: "We read them but can not be sure we grasp all their meaning. (The artist draws on literary sources but does not reveal them.) Instead of putting us off, Linden pulls us in to wonder. If all else fails, the paintings work as abstract compositions. They are built of various combinations of acrylic, wood, and fabric in gray, black and ochre."

paragraph: "Ron Linden is a significant painter because he resists convenience and, sometimes, even himself. But integrity will out. In the end, Linden makes the difficulty of making the difficult look easy," writes Peter Plagens in the catalog essay for the Cue Foundation.

paragraph: From Mario Naves' article "Picasso's Ghost," about paintings by Ron Linden exhibited at the CUE Foundation, in the "New York Observer", January, 2008:

paragraph: "Riddled by the ghosts of Cubism and Pop's cool ironies, painter Ron Linden's milky investigation of surface, space and denuded biomorphism are only nominally sensual paint-as-stuff chases after painting as intellectual pursuit. Mr. Linden's gift is that brainy impatience doesn’t quell a fractured and elusive poetry - if anything it engenders it."

paragraph: In 2016, Los Angeles art critic Mat Gleason wrote, "One Southern California art veteran, Ron Linden, is also curating in the South Bay. His TransVagrant / Warschaw Gallery in San Pedro has hosted exhibitions for almost a decade now, specializing in rigorous, almost scholarly shows, primarily of painting. Be they solo or group shows, Linden’s space has a severe eye for the reductive, the historical and the dedicated. Fearlessly championing Modernist forms and playing the long game with art history, TransVagrant and Warschaw exists in a context free from art world tropes that chase what was on the cover of last month's ArtForum. It is one of the crowning achievements of the South Bay, inspiring and informing the whole scene."

paragraph: Section::::Influences.

paragraph: Early in his career Linden was highly influenced by other contemporary artists in his sphere. The abstract expressionism of Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, the neo-dadaist Jasper Johns, and in particular Richard Diebenkorn, permeates the minimalist style that Linden is known for. "Artweek Magazine" wrote that Linden's work has been compared to Diebenkorn to the extent that the work of both artists is both intellectual and emotional.

paragraph: In literature, "Minds Meet" by the meta-fiction writer Walter Abish has been cited as influencing Linden's experimental style, as well as the work of novelist/playwright Samuel Beckett, and that of the poet Charles Olson.

paragraph: In the field of music, the experimental composer John Cage was influential with his 'chance related' form of music, challenging assumptions of musicianship and musical experience. Linden also cites Philip Glass, Brian Eno, John Cale, Frank Zappa, and Don Van Vliet as influences.

paragraph: Author of several literary works in the Maltese language, Zammit was conferred the DLitt Honoris Causa by Oxford University. He was knighted in 1930, having previously been admitted as a Companion to the Order of St Michael and St George.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Zammit's scientific approach to archaeology further enhanced his international reputation. A permanent display of some of his findings may be viewed at the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta.

paragraph: The main Assembly Hall of the University of Malta bears Zammit's name. He also appears on a commemorative 1973 Maltese pound coin.

paragraph: Carl Gustaf Lewenhaupt

paragraph: Carl Gustaf Moritz Thure Lewenhaupt (7 January 1884 – 11 May 1935) was a Swedish horse rider who competed in the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics. In 1920 he won a bronze medal in the individual jumping event. In 1924 he was a non-scoring member of the Swedish team that won a silver medal in team three-day eventing; he failed to finish his individual routine.

paragraph: Lewenhaupt came from a noble family and was the son of Count Carl-Johan Lewenhaupt.

paragraph: Prince Zhanghuai

paragraph: Li Xian () (29 January 655 – 13 March 684), courtesy name Mingyun (), formally Crown Prince Zhanghuai (), named Li De () from 672 to 674, was a crown prince of the Chinese Tang Dynasty. He was the sixth son of Emperor Gaozong, and the second son of his second wife Empress Wu (later known as Wu Zetian). He was known for writing commentaries for the "Book of Later Han", the official history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He became crown prince in 675 after his older brother Li Hong's death (which traditional historians believed to be a poisoning by Empress Wu), but soon fell out of favor with Empress Wu herself. In 680, Empress Wu had her associates accuse Li Xian of treason, and he was demoted to commoner rank and exiled. In 684, after Emperor Gaozong's death, Empress Wu, then empress dowager, had her associate Qiu Shenji (丘神勣) visit Li Xian to force him to commit suicide.

paragraph: In 706, his younger brother Emperor Zhongzong provided Li Xian with an honorable burial by interring his remains at the Qianling Mausoleum.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Li Xian was born on 29 January 655, as the sixth son of Emperor Gaozong and the second son of his then-favorite concubine Consort Wu (later known as Wu Zetian). There were, however, persistent rumors inside the palace that he was not actually born of Consort Wu but of her older sister Wu Shun (who was later created the Lady of Han).

paragraph: In 655, the same year that his mother Consort Wu displaced Emperor Gaozong's first wife Empress Wang as empress, Li Xian was created the Prince of Lu. In 656, he was initially titularly given the post of prefect of Qi Prefecture (岐州, roughly modern Baoji, Shaanxi), and then the dual posts as prefect of the capital prefecture Yong Prefecture (雍州, roughly modern Xi'an, Shaanxi) and commandant at You Prefecture (幽州, roughly modern Beijing).

paragraph: It was said that his behavior was elegant, even in his youth, and, according to a comment that Emperor Gaozong made to the chancellor Li Ji, he had studied the "Classic of History", "Classic of Rites", "Analects", and a number of ancient poems and could remember them clearly. In 661, his title was changed to Prince of Pei, and he was given the titles of commandant at Yang Prefecture (揚州, roughly modern Yangzhou, Jiangsu) and major general, but he continued to also serve as prefect of Yong Prefecture. At this time, he had the literarily talented official Wang Bo on staff.

paragraph: Around this time, the princes were apparently often engaged in cockfighting. Wang Bo wrote a playful piece entitled the "Declaration Against the Prince of Zhou's Cock" (檄周王雞文) (the Prince of Zhou was Li Xian's brother Li Xiǎn (note different tone), later named Li Zhe), which, however, when Emperor Gaozong read it, caused Emperor Gaozong to be angry, as he believed this would cause discord between his sons, and therefore expelled Wang from the Pei mansion.

paragraph: In 672, Li Xian's title was changed to Prince of Yong, and he was given the titles of commandant at Liang Prefecture (涼州, roughly modern Wuwei, Gansu), but continued to also serve as general and prefect of Yong Prefecture. His name was also changed to Li De. In 674, his name was changed back to Li Xian.

paragraph: Section::::As crown prince.

paragraph: In 675, Li Xian's older brother Li Hong the crown prince died—a death that traditional historians generally believed to be a poisoning ordered by Empress Wu. On July 3, Li Xian was created crown prince to replace Li Hong. Emperor Gaozong soon ordered that much of government matters be ruled on by Li Xian, and Li Xian was praised for making good decisions. Also around this time, Li Xian led a group of scholars, including Zhang Da'an, Liu Nayan (劉訥言), Ge Xiyuan (格希元), Xu Shuya (許叔牙), Cheng Xuanyi (成玄一), Shi Cangzhu (史藏諸), and Zhou Baoning (周寶寧), in writing commentaries for the "Book of Later Han", the official history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, written by the Liu Song scholar Fan Ye.

paragraph: Meanwhile, Li Xian's relationship with Empress Wu began to deteriorate, as Li Xian had heard the rumors that he was actually the son of Lady of Han, and had become fearful. Empress Wu, detecting this, had her literary staff write two works entitled, "Good Examples for Shaoyang" (少陽正範, "Shaoyang" being an oblique term for a crown prince) and "Biographies of Filial Sons" (孝子傳) and gave them to Li Xian, and further wrote a number of letters rebuking Li Xian, making him more fearful. Further, when the sorcerer Ming Chongyan (明崇儼), who was well-trusted by Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu, was assassinated in 679, Empress Wu suspected Li Xian—as Ming had been known to repeatedly make comments to Empress Wu that included, "The Crown Prince cannot bear the responsibilities of state. The Prince of Ying [(i.e., Li Xian's younger brother Li Zhe, later Emperor Zhongzong] has an appearance most similar to Emperor Taizong ([Emperor Gaozong's father])," and "The Prince of Xiang [(i.e., Li Xian's younger brother Li Dan, later Emperor Ruizong)] has the most honorable appearance."

paragraph: Meanwhile, Li Xian was also known for his liking of music and women. (Some historians, pointing to oblique references that he was "particularly close" to a number of male servants, also believe that he liked sexual relations with both women and men.) When Empress Wu heard this, she had people report this to Emperor Gaozong, who ordered an investigation led by the officials Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan, and Gao Zhizhou. When they searched the crown prince's stables, they found several hundred suits of black armor, and they believed this to be evidence of a coup, and after interrogation, one of Li Xian's favorite servants, Zhao Daosheng (趙道生), admitted to assassinating Ming on Li Xian's orders. Emperor Gaozong, who had favored Li Xian, considered pardoning him, but Empress Wu refused. On September 20, 680, Emperor Gaozong deposed Li Xian and reduced him to commoner rank, delivering him from the eastern capital Luoyang (where Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu had long taken up residence) to the capital Chang'an to be imprisoned there. His close associates were executed, and the seized armor was burned publicly to demonstrate Li Xian's treason. Li Zhe was created crown prince to replace him.

paragraph: Section::::After removal.

paragraph: in 683, Li Xian was moved from Chang'an to Ba Prefecture (巴州, roughly modern Bazhong, Sichuan). In 684, after Emperor Gaozong's death, Li Zhe initially took the throne (as Emperor Zhongzong), but soon was deposed himself due to signs of disobedience to Empress Wu (now empress dowager), and Li Dan became emperor instead (as Emperor Ruizong), although Empress Dowager Wu retained all powers as regent. In spring 684, she sent the general Qiu Shenji to Ba Prefecture with the order of, "Examine the house of Li Xian the former crown prince to prevent external attacks." However, she hinted to him that he should have Li Xian killed. When he got to Ba Prefecture, he placed Li Xian into a small room and forced him to commit suicide. When news of Li Xian's death arrived at Luoyang, Empress Wu publicly blamed Qiu and demoted him to the post of prefect of Die Prefecture (疊州, roughly modern Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu), while publicly mourning Li Xian and posthumously creating him the title of Prince of Yong. (Qiu was soon recalled to Luoyang to again be general.) After Empress Wu's death in 705 and the restoration of Emperor Zhongzong to the throne, Emperor Zhongzong had Li Xian's casket returned to Chang'an, to be buried near the tomb of Emperor Gaozong. After Emperor Ruizong became emperor again in 710, he had Li Xian's crown prince title restored.

paragraph: James Hepburn (bishop)

paragraph: James Hepburn (died 1524) was a Scottish prelate and administrator. He was the son of Alexander Hepburn of Whitsome. His name occurs as the rector of Dalry and king's clerk on 1 August 1511. Hepburn was Treasurer of Scotland between from at least June 1515, until October the following year. He also held the position of rector of Parton in the diocese of Galloway.

paragraph: He was elected Bishop of Moray sometime before 12 February 1516, on the nomination of the Governor of Scotland, John Stewart, Duke of Albany, following the translation of Bishop Andrew Forman to the Archbishopric of St Andrews.

paragraph: Hepburn had been granted the temporalities of the see by 28 August. With his provision by Pope Leo X on 14 May 1516, he received a Bull exempting him from the metropolitan and legatine jurisdiction of the Archbishop of St Andrews. Although Archbishop Forman (d. 1521) had consented to this, his successor James Beaton resented it, and wrote to a senior Cardinal as a part of a wider attempt to have this reversed.

paragraph: Among other activities as during his short episcopate, Hepburn instituted the church of Duffus as a new rectory. He died shortly before 11 November 1524.

paragraph: Minamoto no Yoshitomo

paragraph: Section::::Hōgen Rebellion.

paragraph: With the outbreak of the Hōgen Rebellion in 1156, the members of the Minamoto and Taira samurai clans were beckoned into the conflict. Yoshitomo sided along with Taira no Kiyomori in support of the Emperor Go-Shirakawa and Fujiwara no Tadamichi, while his father Minamoto no Tameyoshi sided with the retired Emperor Sutoku and Fujiwara no Yorinaga. Yoshitomo, defeating his father and the forces of Sutoku and Yorinaga, became head of the Minamoto and established himself as a political power in the capital of Kyoto. However, despite his attempts to have his father pardoned, Tameyoshi was executed. Also, the outcome of the Hōgen rebellion established the Minamoto and Taira as the two strongest political rivals in the country.

paragraph: Section::::Heiji Rebellion.

paragraph: Three years later in 1159, Yoshitomo and Fujiwara no Nobuyori placed Go-Shirakawa under house arrest and killed his retainer, the scholar Fujiwara no Michinori, in what is called the Heiji Rebellion. Eventually, Taira no Kiyomori, in support of Go-Shirakawa, defeated Yoshitomo.

paragraph: While escaping from Kyoto, Yoshitomo was forced to kill his son Tomonaga. Later, Yoshitomo was betrayed and killed in his bath. Three of his sons, Yoritomo, Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Minamoto no Noriyori, were later spared and exiled by Kiyomori. However, Yoshihira and Nobuyori were executed.

paragraph: His grave in Aichi Prefecture is surrounded on all sides by wooden swords ("bokuto"), as by legend his last words were "If only I had even a "bokuto"..."

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Yoshitomo fathered nine sons in total. His two sons, Yoshihira and Tomonaga, lost their lives following the Minamoto Clan's defeat in the Heiji Rebellion. At the time of the outbreak of the Genpei War in 1180, Minamoto no Yoritomo was his eldest surviving son. His six remaining sons in order from eldest to youngest were Yoshikado, Mareyoshi, Noriyori, Zenjo, Gien, and Yoshitsune.

paragraph: J. William Schickel

paragraph: J. William Schickel, FAIA, (1850–1907) known professionally as William Schickel, was a German-American architect and founder of the New York architectural firm of Schickel & Ditmars.

paragraph: Section::::Life and practice.

paragraph: Schickel was born January 29, 1850 in Wiesbaden, Hochbein, Germany. He was a student of Wilhelm Bozler. In 1870, at the age of twenty, he emigrated to the United States, passing through Castle Garden in New York City, and the next day started his New York architectural career in the offices of the renowned Richard Morris Hunt. He became a member and a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1894. In 1885 he formed William Schickel & Company in association with Isaac E. Ditmars (1850–1934) and Hugo Kafka (1843–1913). He died June 14, 1907 in New York City. Following his death, Ditmars continued the firm.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: The John Crimmins House at 40 East 68th Street was the German-born Schickel's first commission in New York.

paragraph: Schickel was hired in 1879 to design and build a replacement for the original 1867 chapel of the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer (New York City). The church was known as the "Gothic Barn" and was demolished in 1914. Along with this commission came one to build a priory that would serve as the provincial headquarters for the Dominicans in New York. The priory's intricate use of materials and its overall polychromy, characteristics of the High Victorian Gothic style popular in the late 19th century, reflect Schickel's training in Bavaria and the strong influence there of Friedrich von Gärtner. It was the first of many buildings Schickel would design for the New York diocese. The priory still stands.

paragraph: Among Schickel's most celebrated works were the impressive German-Baroque edifice of St. Ignatius of Loyola (1898), now on the National Register of Historic Places , and the Neo-Gothic St. Louis's Church (1889) in Buffalo, New York, with elements of French and German Gothic design including a pierced spire influenced by Cologne Cathedral. His firm had long-standing ties to leading German-American families and the Roman Catholic Church, principally building churches and ecclesiastical complexes in German-American neighborhoods. Among many other church structures in the United States, Schickel was the architect of the Most Holy Trinity Church, 138 Montrose Ave., Brooklyn, New York. The cornerstone of Most Holy Trinity was placed in 1882 and after three years of construction the church was opened in 1885.

paragraph: Schickel also designed the massive St. Joseph Seminary, Dunwoodie, NY, begun 1893 and taking five years to complete.

paragraph: Henry Vane, 1st Earl of Darlington

paragraph: Henry Vane, 1st Earl of Darlington, PC (c. 1705 – 6 March 1758), known as Lord Barnard between 1753 and 1754, was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1726 to 1753 when he succeeded to a peerage as Baron Barnard.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Vane was the eldest son of Gilbert Vane, 2nd Baron Barnard of Raby Castle, Staindrop, county Durham, and his wife, Mary Randyll, daughter of Morgan Randyll of Chilworth, Surrey. His sister Anne Vane was a mistress to George II. He was educated privately. He married Lady Grace Fitzroy, daughter of Charles FitzRoy, 2nd Duke of Cleveland on 2 September 1725.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Vane contested County Durham as a Whig on his family’s interest at the 1722 British general election, but was unsuccessful. He was brought in by the ministry as Member of Parliament for Launceston at a by-election on 31 May 1726. At the 1727 British general election he planned to stand for county Durham, but stood down to avoid splitting the Whig vote, and the ministry found him another seat at St Mawes where he was returned as MP unopposed. He went into opposition, and attached himself to his wife’s first cousin William Pulteney. He never spoke in the House, which was said to be because of ‘a monstrous tongue which lolled out of his mouth’.
