His mark of 144–58–5 in 19 seasons at the helm of the Arkansas Razorbacks football gives him the most wins and the most coached games of any head coach in program history. With Arkansas, <mask> won seven Southwest Conference titles and his 1964 team was named a national champion by a number of selectors including the Football Writers Association of America. <mask> attended Georgia Tech, where was the starting quarterback for the Yellow Jackets and also lettered in baseball and basketball. Following his playing career, he was an assistant football coach at Baylor University, the University of Florida, and his alma mater, Georgia tech.<mask> was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1983.

In 1951, he left Florida and returned to Georgia Tech as an assistant under coach Bobby Dodd. <mask> sought the head coaching position at Northwestern University in 1954, and ultimately left Georgia Tech in 1957 when he was offered the position of head coach at the University of Missouri. <mask> stayed at Missouri only one season when he was offered the head coaching job at Arkansas. During his nineteen years as head coach there, he was offered other major coaching and leadership positions, but remained at Arkansas.During his tenure at Arkansas, <mask>' Razorbacks and the University of Texas Longhorns under legendary coach Darrell Royal. Among <mask>' most memorable victories while coaching the Razorbacks was the 14–13 win over No. 1 Texas in 1964 in Austin, the 1965 Cotton Bowl victory over Nebraska to complete an undefeated season, the 1969 Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia, beating No.2 Texas A&M in the 1975 season finale to win a share of the SWC championship, and then beating Georgia in the 1976 Cotton Bowl. The two most painful losses in his tenure at Arkansas, included the 1966 Cotton Bowl loss to LSU that snapped Arkansas' 22 game winning streak, and, most famously, the 1969 Game of the Century that saw No. 1 Texas come from behind to beat No. 2 Arkansas, 15–14. Broadcasting career
After his retirement from coaching, but concurrent with the early part of his tenure as men's athletic director at Arkansas, <mask> served as the primary color commentator for ABC Sports television coverage of college football, normally alongside top play-by-play man Keith Jackson. <mask>' time as a broadcaster at ABC lasted from 1977 to 1985. <mask> was often assigned games involving Southeastern Conference or Southwest Conference teams, but if the primary game of a particular week involved the Razorbacks, <mask> was paired with another play-by-play man, many times Al Michaels or Chris Schenkel, while Jackson called the game with another color commentator, many times Ara Parseghian.<mask>' commentary was normally focused on play calling and coaching strategy, and while paired with Jackson, resulted in an all-Georgian booth (Jackson was a native of Roopville). As a member of Augusta National Golf Club, <mask> from 1972 to 1977 co-hosted (with tournament chairmen Clifford Roberts and William Lane) the green jacket presentation ceremony at the end of the Masters Tournament from Butler Cabin televised on CBS.

The Razorbacks won 57 Southwest Conference championships and 47 Southeastern Conference championships during his tenure.<mask> disbanded the men's swimming and diving program to satisfy new regulations from the SEC of having two more women's sports than men's sports.

<mask> (July 18, 1916 – July 6, 2005) was Acting Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from May 2, 1972 to April 27, 1973. During this time, the FBI was in charge of the initial investigation into the burglaries that sparked the Watergate scandal, which eventually led to the resignation of President Nixon. <mask> was nominated as permanent Director by Nixon on February 15, 1973, but failed to win Senate confirmation. He resigned as Acting FBI director on April 27, 1973, after he admitted to destroying documents that had come from convicted Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt's safe—documents received on June 28, 1972, 11 days after the Watergate burglary, and given to <mask> by White House counsel John Dean. <mask> remained publicly silent about the Watergate scandal for 32 years, speaking to the press only once, near the end of his life; this was shortly after <mask>'s direct subordinate at the FBI, FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt, revealed himself to have been the secret source to The Washington Post known as "Deep Throat". Early life and education
<mask> was born on July 18, 1916 in St. Louis, Missouri, the eldest son of <mask>, Jr., a Texas railroad worker. He worked three jobs while attending schools in St. Louis and Houston, Texas, graduating from St. Thomas High School in 1932, at the age of 16 (having skipped two grades).<mask> initially attended Rice University; however, his true goal was to be admitted to the United States Naval Academy. He was finally admitted to the Naval Academy in 1936 and he immediately dropped out of Rice University in his senior year so he could attend. At the time, however, <mask> could not afford the bus or train fare to Annapolis, so he hired on as an apprentice seaman on a tramp steamer out of Galveston. During the journey to Philadelphia (the closest the steamer could get him to Maryland), <mask> taught calculus to the ship's captain, a Bulgarian named Frank Solis, in return for basic lessons in navigation. Once in Philadelphia, <mask> hitchhiked to Annapolis. Once at the academy, <mask> walked onto the football team as the starting quarterback, played varsity lacrosse and boxed as a light heavyweight. In 1940, <mask> received a Bachelor of Science degree from the Naval Academy.Naval career
The United States Navy commissioned <mask> as a line officer, and he served through five submarine war patrols in the Pacific Ocean theater of World War II. He suffered a ruptured appendix at the start of his sixth patrol and was unable to get to a hospital for 17 days, an ordeal that should have killed him. In 1945, <mask> visited Beatrice Castle Kirk (1923–2019), the widow of his Naval Academy classmate, Lieutenant Commander Edward Emmet DeGarmo (1917–1945). They were married in 1946. He adopted her two sons, Alan and Ed; and they had two of their own, <mask> and Stephen. In 1949, <mask> received a Juris Doctor degree from George Washington University Law School, where he edited the law review and became a member of the Order of the Coif. He was admitted to practice before the Washington, D.C., Bar in 1949; later, he was admitted to practice law by the Connecticut State Bar, the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the United States courts of appeals, the United States Court of Claims, and the Supreme Court of the United States.By 1960, <mask>'s achievements in the Navy included commanding the U.S.S. Tiru (SS-416) and two other submarines on war patrols during the Korean War; earning the rank of captain two years before he was legally allowed to be paid for it; and serving as congressional liaison officer for the United States Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Chief of Naval Operations. He indicated his desire to retire from the Navy, but Chief of Naval Operations Arleigh Burke told him, "If you stay, you'll have my job some day." He did not stay, but joined a Connecticut law firm in 1961. Department of Justice
In 1969, <mask> returned to the federal government and worked under the Nixon administration in several different positions. In 1970, President Nixon appointed him as Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division in the Department of Justice. In 1972, <mask> was nominated to be Deputy Attorney General, but before he could be confirmed by the full United States Senate his nomination was withdrawn.Acting Director of FBI
Instead, President Nixon designated him as Acting Director of the FBI after the death of J. Edgar Hoover. <mask> served for less than a year. Day-to-day operational command of the Bureau remained with Associate Director Mark Felt. Watergate involvement

Watergate and the FBI's investigation
On June 17, 1972, just six weeks after <mask> took office at the FBI, five men were arrested after breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel complex in Washington, D.C.

<mask> first learned of the Watergate break-ins on June 17 from Wes Grapp, the Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles field office. <mask> immediately called Mark Felt, his second in command. At the time, Felt only had limited information, remaining unclear as to whether it was a burglary or bombing attempt. Felt had more information the next day, when he informed <mask> that the burglars had connections to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President (CRP), that one burglar (McCord) was head of security for the committee, and that at least one listening device had been found.<mask> recalled the conversation concluding with the exchange:

"Are you absolutely certain that we have jurisdiction?" I asked. "I'm sure of it," he [Felt] answered. "Just check it and be absolutely certain," I ordered. "And then investigate it to the hilt with no holds barred." On the same day, June 18, 1972, <mask> also met later-identified Watergate conspirator <mask> in California. The two discussed Watergate, according to <mask>ue, and made arrangements to meet again back in Washington, D.C.In his own memoir, <mask> relates the <mask> meeting as a chance encounter at a hotel swimming pool and quotes their entire Watergate-related conversation:

"The Watergate thing is a hell of a thing," he said. "You bet it is, Fred," I answered. "We're going to investigate the hell out of it." That was all either of us said about it. For the first six months of the investigation, <mask> remained heavily involved. It was only when it became apparent that the White House was involved that <mask> recused himself from the investigation and handed control over to Mark Felt. Cover-up
On June 23, 1972, White House Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman and President Nixon held one of the infamous "smoking gun" conversations in which they conspired to use the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to block the FBI investigation into the money trail leading from the Watergate burglars to the Committee to Re-elect the President, which would constitute hard evidence that Committee members were involved in the planning of the burglaries.According to <mask>, this plan was first put into action when he had a meeting with Vernon Walters, then deputy director of the CIA, in which he quotes Walters as falsely saying, "If the investigation gets pushed further south of the border… it could trespass onto some of our covert projects. Since you've got these five men under arrest, it will be best to taper the matter off here." This conversation implicitly stated that the FBI should not interview Manuel Ogarrio and Kenneth Dahlberg, individuals connected with the money used to fund the Watergate burglars. This would later be backed up by the Director of the CIA, Richard Helms, when he specifically told <mask> that Karl Wagner and John Caswell should also not be interviewed, as they were, he stated, active CIA agents at the time. The basis for such a request came from a long-standing understanding between the CIA and the FBI that they would not reveal each other's informants. This effort by the White House and the CIA succeeded in delaying the interviews of both Ogarrio and Dahlberg for a little more than one week, at which point <mask> and his senior FBI staff, including Mark Felt, Charlie Bates, and Bob Kunkel, decided that, due to the increasing importance of these individuals in the investigation, they needed a written request from the CIA not to interview them, which would have to state in greater detail the reasons for not interviewing these individuals. Once the decision was made, <mask> called Vernon Walters and demanded that written request the next morning, or he would order the interviews to go forth.The next morning, Vernon Walters arrived and delivered a three-page memorandum, marked "SECRET", that did not ask the FBI to hold off on the interviews. The meeting concluded with Walters suggesting to <mask> that he should warn the President that some members of the White House staff were hindering the FBI's investigation. After the conversation, <mask> ordered the interviews to proceed immediately. Ultimately, the CIA cover-up delayed the FBI investigation no more than two weeks. While not active in any Watergate activities per se, <mask> was aware through his dealings with John Dean that the White House was concerned about what might be discovered from a full-field FBI investigation and explored what he could do to limit the investigation or shift it away from the Bureau's jurisdiction. As Dean wrote in his Watergate memoir "Blind Ambition," he used <mask> as a shill knowing that "we could count on <mask> to keep the Hunt material from becoming public, and he did not disappoint us." In fact, even though he thought of this as a political not criminal situation and that he was ultimately serving the President as the "nation's chief law enforcement officer," <mask> would come dangerously close to collusion because he chose to be useful to the White House without asking the hard questions.Dean goes on to say, "I met <mask> secretly at his home in southwest Washington. We were both apprehensive about the meeting as we walked to a park and sat down on a bench overlooking the Potomac, discussing my request to obtain FBI 302s and AirTels on the Watergate investigation." 11 days after the Watergate burglary, on June 28, 1972, <mask> received from John Dean documents removed from the safe of Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt. In 1973, <mask> would admit to destroying these documents and resign. When the missing Hunt material came to light, <mask> reportedly said to Dean, "Goddammit John. You have got to hang tight. Who else knows

 about it?"By early July 1972, however, <mask> had an alarming picture of the apparent conspiracy as conveyed to him by Vernon Walters and he changed tack. Although he arguably should have made it his business to know before helping Dean in any way, once he did know for certain that the White House was somehow involved, he was no longer a predictable and reliable ally they could count on. Felt and the search for the source
The Nixon White House tapes reveal that Bob Haldeman told Nixon that Felt was the source of leaks of confidential information contained in the FBI's investigation to various members of the press, including Bob Woodward of The Washington Post. <mask> claimed that he resisted five separate demands from the White House to fire Felt, stating that he believed Felt's assurances that he was not the source. Eventually, <mask> demanded to know who was claiming Felt to be leaking. Attorney general Richard Kleindienst told <mask> that Roswell Gilpatric, former deputy secretary of defense under John F. Kennedy and now outside general counsel to Time, had told John Mitchell that Felt was leaking to Sandy Smith of Time magazine. After Felt admitted in the May 2005 Vanity Fair article that he lied to <mask> about leaking to the press, <mask> claimed that Felt's bitterness at being passed over was the cause of his decision to leak to Time, The Washington Post, and others.Confirmation hearings
In 1973, <mask> was nominated as Hoover's permanent successor as head of the FBI. This action by President Nixon confounded many, coming at a time when revelations of involvement by Nixon administration officials in the Watergate scandal were coming to the forefront. Under <mask>'s direction, the FBI had been accused of mishandling the investigation into the break-in, doing a cursory job and refusing to investigate the possible involvement of administration officials. <mask>'s Senate confirmation hearing was to become the Senate's first opportunity to ask pertinent questions about the Watergate investigation. During the confirmation hearing, <mask> defended his bureau's investigation. During questioning, he volunteered that he had provided copies of some of the files on the investigation to White House Counsel John Dean, who had told <mask> he was conducting an investigation for the President. <mask> testified that before turning over the files to Dean, he had been advised by the FBI's own legal counsel that he was required by law to comply with Dean's order.He confirmed that the FBI investigation supported claims made by The Washington Post and other sources, about dirty tricks committed and funded by the Committee to Re-Elect the President, and in particular, activities of questionable legality committed by Donald Segretti. The White House had for months steadfastly denied any involvement in such activities. During the hearings, <mask> testified that Dean had "probably lied" to the FBI, increasing the suspicions of many of a cover-up. The Nixon administration was so angered by this statement that John Ehrlichman told John Dean that <mask> should be left to "twist slowly, slowly in the wind." Destruction of documents and resignation from the FBI
On June 21, 1972, <mask> met with John Dean and John Ehrlichman in Ehrlichman's office. During this meeting, <mask> was handed several envelopes full of documents from the personal safe of E. Howard Hunt. Dean instructed <mask>, in the presence of John Ehrlichman, that the documents were "national security documents.These should never see the light of day." Dean further repeatedly told <mask> that the documents were not Watergate-related. Six months later, <mask> said he finally looked at the papers as he burned them in a Connecticut fireplace. "The first set of papers in there were false top-secret cables indicating that the Kennedy administration had much to do with the assassination of the Vietnamese president (Diem)," <mask> said. "The second set of papers in there were letters purportedly written by Senator Kennedy involving some of his peccadilloes, if you will." After learning from Ehrlichman that John Dean was cooperating with the U.S. attorney and would be revealing to him what happened on June 21, <mask> told his staunchest congressional supporter, Senator <mask>, so that he might be prepared for that revelation. As a result, Senator Weicker leaked this revelation to some chosen reporters.Following this revelation, <mask> was forced to resign from the FBI on April 27, 1973. Legal struggles
For the next eight years, <mask> defended his actions as Acting Director of the FBI, testifying before five federal grand juries and four committees of Congress. On October 7, 1975, the Watergate Special Prosecutor informed <mask> that the last Watergate-related investigation of him had been formally closed. <mask> was never indicted in relation to Watergate, but the scandal dogged him afterwards. In 1978, <mask> was indicted, along with and Assistant Director Edward Miller, for allegedly having approved illegal break-ins during the Nixon administration. <mask> vehemently denied the charges, which were dropped in 1980. Felt and Miller, who had approved the illegal break-ins during the tenures of four separate FBI directors, including Hoover, <mask>, William Ruckelshaus, and Clarence M. Kelley, were convicted and later pardoned by President Ronald Reagan.Exonerated by the Department of Justice after a two-year investigation, <mask> returned to his law practice in Connecticut.

After his time in Washington, <mask> returned to practicing law at the firm of Suisman, Shapiro, Wool, Brennan, Gray & Greenberg (SSWBGG) in New London, Connecticut. In a 2005 Vanity Fair article, Deputy Director Mark Felt claimed to be Deep Throat, the infamous source of leaks to Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Woodward, Bernstein, and Post executive editor Benjamin C. Bradlee confirmed the claim. <mask>'s claim. "It was like I was hit with a tremendous sledgehammer."<mask> died on July 6, 2005. He was working on his memoirs with his stepson <mask>, using his extensive and never-released personal Watergate files. His stepson finished the book In Nixon's Web: A Year in the Crosshairs of Watergate, which disputes the claim that Felt was Deep Throat, citing Woodward's own notes and other evidence as proof that Deep Throat was a fictional composite made up of several Woodward sources, only one of whom was Felt. <mask> and the New York Times
In 2009, Bob Phelps, a former editor of The New York Times, and Robert M. Smith, a former reporter for the Times, claimed that they had received information from <mask> that would have allowed the Times to break the Watergate story before The Washington Post, but they failed to act upon it. In August 1972, <mask> and Smith had lunch. According to Smith, during this lunch <mask> mentioned details of Donald Segretti and John Mitchell's involvement in the Watergate burglaries. Smith quotes <mask>:

"[<mask>] told me about a guy who burned his palm, and about Donald Segretti (by name).And when he intimated over the entrée that the wrongdoing went further, I leaned back against the wall on my inside banquette and looked at him in frank astonishment. "The attorney general?" I asked. He nodded. I paused. "The president?" I asked.He looked me in the eye without denial—or any comment. In other words, confirmation. After the lunch, Smith reportedly rushed to his editor, Phelps, with the story, but it amounted to nothing. Smith left his job the next day for Yale Law School, and Phelps lost track of the story while covering the 1972 Republican Convention. However, while only <mask> and Smith knew exactly what was said at that lunch, <mask>'s son, Edward, denies that his father could have implicated either the Attorney General or the President, stating:

The truth is that at the time of this luncheon—as my father testified multiple times under oath—neither he nor anyone else in the FBI had any evidence whatsoever that the president was involved. <mask> goes on to point out that at the time of this lunch the Attorney General was Richard Kleindienst, who was never implicated in any of the Watergate scandals. Even if Smith meant that he was talking about John Mitchell, the former Attorney General, <mask> further points out that no one (outside of the conspirators) knew of Mitchell's involvement until the following April, when John Dean admitted as much to special prosecutors.Documents
<mask> was a meticulous record-keeper, which is most easily evidenced by the 40 boxes of personal records he took with him from his year with the FBI. The archive would grow even after <mask> left the FBI as a direct result of the legal proceedings in which he was forced to take part in the years to follow. This archive has become what is undoubtedly the "most complete set of Watergate investigative records outside the government." Selected Navy awards

<mask> (born 21 December 1972), also known as Y. S<mask> or mononymously <mask>, is an Indian politician serving as the 17th and current chief minister of Andhra Pradesh since 2019. He is also the founder and president of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). He is the son of the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y. S<mask>. He had served as the leader of opposition in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly between 2014 and 2019. <mask> started his political career by campaigning for the Indian National Congress in the 2004 Andhra Pradesh state elections in Kadapa district. He was elected as Member of Parliament from Kadapa constituency as a member of the Indian National Congress in the 2009 Indian general election. After his father <mask>'s sudden death, his popular Ōdārpu Yatra, a consoling tour for the people, led him to form YSR Congress Party in 2011.He led the party to several victories at both the state and national levels. His party won in the 2019 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election with 151 seats of the total 175 seats, one of the landslide victories in the history of Andhra Pradesh. Early life
<mask> <mask> was born on 21 December 1972 in Jammalamadugu in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh to Y. S. Rajasekhara <mask> and Y. S. Vijayamma. He studied at The Hyderabad Public School up to 12th grade. He graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He has a younger sister, Y. S. <mask>la, who is also a politician. His parents were Christians.<mask> married Bharathi on 28 August 1996. The couple has two daughters, the elder of whom studied undergraduate in London. On his religious beliefs, <mask> said, "Humanity is my religion". In December 2020, Andhra Pradesh High Court dismissed a writ petition of quo warranto against <mask> which claimed that he visited Tirumala Venkateswara Temple despite being a non-Hindu. The Court observed that the petitioner failed to show any material evidence on record which establishes <mask> as a professing Christian. The court further noted that one cannot be considered a Christian merely for attending the prayers in Churches. Political career
<mask>'s father Y. S. Rajasekhara <mask>, popularly known as YSR, was a two-time chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, serving from 2004 to 2009.He started his political career campaigning for Indian National Congress during the 2004 elections in Kadapa district. In 2009, he was elected as Member of Parliament from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency. Following the death of his father in September 2009, he started efforts to take up the political legacy left by his father. The majority of the legislators favoured him to be appointed as the Chief Minister, but this choice was not approved by party leaders <mask> and Rahul Gandhi. Six months after his father's death, he began an odarpu yatra (condolence tour), as promised earlier, to go and meet the families of those alleged to have either committed suicide or suffered ill health on the news of his father's death. The Congress party's central leadership directed him to call off his odarpu yatra, an order which he defied leading to a fallout between the high command and himself. He went ahead with the yatra, stating that it was a personal matter.2010–2014: Founding of YSR Congress Party
Following the fallout with the Congress party high command, on 29 November 2010, he resigned from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency and has also quit the party. His mother, Vijayamma, has also resigned from Pulivendula Assembly constituency and has quit the party as well. He announced on 7 December 2010 from Pulivendula that he would be starting a new party within 45 days. In March 2011, he announced that he would launch the new party, named YSR Congress Party, at Jaggampeta, East Godavari district. Later, his party went to by-polls in Kadapa district and won almost all the seats with a huge majority. <mask>, as the president of YSR Congress, faced by-election from the Kadapa constituency and won by a large margin of 545,043 votes. His mother has also won the Pulivendula Assembly constituency by 85,193 votes against Y. S. Vivekananda <mask>.Embezzlement charges
On 27 May 2012, <mask> was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on embezzlement charges. CBI has accused that <mask> has amassed huge assets through illegal means by using his father's office, Y. S. Rajasekhar <mask>, when he was the chief minister. CBI has also accused 58 companies of investing in <mask>'s businesses, for the favours they received in the form of mining leases, allotments of projects. His judicial custody was extended repeatedly as the investigation proceeded. The Supreme Court dismissed his petition on 4 July 2012, 9 August 2012, and on 13 May 2013. As a sequel to allegations that CBI had selectively released information to the press to tarnish the image of <mask>, the Central Vigilance Commissioner sought a report on the matter from the investigating agency. The YSR Congress Party and <mask>'s family have been alleging a political conspiracy behind <mask>'s investigations.BJP has noted that CBI has been pursuing this case with greater vigour than that of government-aligned politicians with similar charges such as <mask> <mask> or Vilasrao Deshmukh. While in jail, <mask> started a hunger strike opposing the United Progressive Alliance's decision to endorse the creation of a separate Telangana state. After 125 hours of indefinite hunger strike, his sugar levels and blood pressure were down. He was moved to Osmania General Hospital for treatment. His mother, Vijayamma, was also on hunger strike protesting the formation of Telangana. After his release, <mask> called for a 72-hour bandh protesting the formation of Telangana. Both <mask> and his mother resigned from their legislatures opposing the decision favouring the formation of Telangana.2014–2019: Leader of opposition and Padayatra
In 2014, the YSR Congress Party was a pre-poll favourite among most analysts and psephologists. But, the YSRCP has lost the 2014 elections, winning only 67 of 175 seats in the state assembly, with 45% of vote share. The Telugu Desam Party vote share went up to 47% and the 2% gap led to the defeat of YSRCP. As a leader of the Opposition in Assembly and YSR Congress Party's President, <mask> launched his 3,000-km-long walkathon named Praja Sankalpa <mask>tra, popularly called padayatra, on 6 November 2017 at Idupulapaya in Kadapa district. YSR Congress party coined a slogan "Raavali Jagan, Kaavali Jagan" () for the foot march that took him across 125 Assembly segments all over the state in 430 days and ended on 9 January 2019. <mask> while boarding a flight to Hyderabad was attacked with a cock fighting knife in the VIP Lounge of Visakhapatnam Airport on 25 October 2018. He received a lacerated injury on his shoulder and had to undergo a surgery.2019–present: Chief Minister
In the 2019 National and State election held in April and May 2019, YSR Congress Party swept the polls and won 151 of the total 175 assembly seats and 22 of the 25 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh. He took oath as the Chief Minister on 30 May 2019. His chief ministership has been marked by a slew of welfare schemes such as <mask>anna Amma Vodi, Navaratnalu. <mask> Amma Vodi provides financial assistance for mothers or guardians from the Below Poverty Line, to educate their children. Navaratnalu is a collection of nine welfare schemes covering farmers, women, medical and health, education and Special Category Status. He scrapped the plans for a new capital at Amaravati, proposed by the former TDP government, and has proposed three different capitals for the judicial, administrative and legislative branches at Kurnool, Amaravati and Visakhapatnam respectively. The proposal resulted in widespread protests by the farmers of Amaravati.Other works

<mask> (February 20, 1914 – February 24, 1991) was a South African-born American journalist, presenter, radio and television personality, ABC News executive, TV anchor, and game show host, best known for his work on the CBS panel show What's My Line? In World War II, he was the first national correspondent to report the attack on Pearl Harbor and the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he covered much of the front-line news from Europe and North Africa. Early life
The second of two brothers, <mask> was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, where his American father worked as a geologist. While in Johannesburg, <mask> attended Marist Brothers College. After his father died of a tropical fever, <mask>'s mother moved the family to Boston, Massachusetts. At that time, <mask> was 11 years old, and attended the Tilton School and later served on its board of directors for many years, contributing to the construction or restoration of many buildings on campus. He did his post-secondary education at a junior college and graduated from Boston College.<mask> worked for a time in a wool factory and a transit company in Washington, D.C., before becoming a reporter for NBC Radio and later CBS. Career

Radio
<mask> began his broadcasting career as a reporter for NBC Radio and then WJSV (now WTOP), the local CBS Radio Network affiliate in Washington, D.C., as CBS' White House correspondent. He appears on the famous "One Day in Radio" tapes of September 21, 1939, in which WJSV preserved its entire broadcast day for posterity. While covering the Roosevelt White House, <mask> became known to the national CBS audience as the network announcer for many of the President's speeches. In late 1941, <mask> transferred to New York City, where he became anchor of The World Today. During World War II, he covered the news from London as well as the North African and Italian fronts. <mask> was a war correspondent in 1943 in Italy during Gen. George S. Patton's infamous "slapping incidents."After the war, he was a lead reporter on CBS Radio's news/entertainment program CBS Is There (later revived for television as the Walter Cronkite hosted series You Are There), which recreated the great events of history as if CBS correspondents were on the scene. Famous broadcasts
As a reporter for the CBS radio network, <mask> was the voice of two historic announcements. He was the first national correspondent to deliver the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor on Sunday, December 7, 1941, and he was also the first to relay the wire service report of the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 12, 1945, interrupting the program Wilderness Road to deliver the news. Recreations of those bulletins have been preserved on historical record album retrospectives and radio and television documentaries. Among the first was the Columbia Records spoken-word album I Can Hear It Now. In July, 1959, along with the Associated Press writer <mask>, <mask> reported from Moscow on the famous Kitchen Debate between First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev and Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Television
<mask>'s first foray into television was as a panelist on the game show Celebrity Time.This led to a job in 1950 as the host and moderator on a new panel show produced by Goodson–Todman, What's My Line? The show lasted 17 years, with <mask> hosting all but four episodes of the weekly series. In 1954–55, in addition to his duties with What's My Line?, <mask> also hosted the final year of the NBC Television game show Who Said That?, in which celebrities tried to determine the speaker of quotations taken from recent news reports. On What's My Line?, each panelist introduced the next in line at the start of the show. Upon Fred Allen's death in 1956, Random House book publisher co-founder and humorist Bennett Cerf became the anchor panelist who would usually introduce <mask>. Cerf usually prefaced his introduction with a pun or joke that over time became a pun or joke at <mask>'s expense. <mask> would then often fire back his own retort.Cerf and <mask> enjoyed a friendly feud from across the stage for the remainder of the history of the program. The mystery guest on the final CBS program (aired September 3, 1967) was <mask> himself. <mask> had received many letters over the years asking him to fill that role; until the finale he never could, because <mask> served as the "emergency mystery guest", in case the scheduled celebrity failed to show on the live program. According to producer Gil Fates, <mask> was resistant to changes that would have appealed to a younger audience but might have diminished the show's dignity. For example, <mask> usually referred to the panelists formally, such as "Mr. Cerf." The producers, Fates said, were unable to challenge <mask> for fear of losing him as the show's moderator.The series spawned a brief radio version in 1952 that was also hosted by <mask>. The series also inspired a multitude of concurrent international versions and a syndicated U.S. revival in 1968 in which <mask> did not participate. He was a vice president at ABC during the 1950s. He did hosting duties on Who Said That?, It's News to Me, We Take Your Word, and Open Hearing. <mask> was a narrator on The Voice of Firestone starting in 1958. He also had several television and movie guest appearances from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s, including an uncredited role in Bye Bye Birdie (as the reporter announcing the title character's induction into the Army) and as the narrator, in a mock documentary style, on the premiere episode of the rural comedy series Green Acres. In 1949 he starred in the short-lived CBS Television newspaper drama The Front Page, where it was thought that his presence and journalistic experience would give the series more authenticity.During the 1950s, <mask> became the vice president in charge of news, special events, and public affairs, religious programs and sports for ABC and won three Peabody Awards. From 1953 to 1960, he anchored ABC News broadcasts and was the face of the network's news division, even though What's My Line? was then on competing CBS. In addition, he provided the voice of a Conelrad radio announcer on the May 18, 1954 broadcast of The Motorola Television Hour on ABC titled Atomic Attack, which showcases a story about a family in a New York City suburb dealing with the aftermath of an H-bomb attack fifty miles away. At the time, this was a very rare instance of a television personality working on two different US broadcast TV networks simultaneously. (<mask> did not work for CBS but for the producers of What's My Line?, Goodson-Todman Productions. He also filled in occasionally on NBC's The Today Show, making <mask> one of the few people to work simultaneously on all three networks.)One of his most memorable days as host of NBC’s Today Show was when Harpo Marx was a guest promoting his book Harpo Speaks. Marx caused chaos on-camera for <mask>. <mask> became completely convulsed in laughter during the live telecast on the NBC network. Although the Harpo Marx segment was preserved via kinescope, and so were most live telecasts of What's My Line?, all of <mask>’s 15-minute live newscasts for the ABC network were lost due to wiping. <mask>’s closing line on the ABC newscasts was "Good night, and a good tomorrow." He resigned from ABC on November 16, 1960, after the network preempted the first hour of 1960 presidential election night coverage to show Bugs Bunny cartoons and The Rifleman from 7:30 to 8:30 pm while CBS and NBC were covering returns from the Kennedy–Nixon presidential election and other important vote counts. In an accompanying article on the same page, however, it was stated that the reason for his resignation was the decision of the then-president of ABC, Leonard Goldenson, to bring in Time Inc. to co-produce documentaries that had previously been under <mask>'s direction for the network.<mask> continued on What's My Line? until 1967. In the 1962–63 season, the program was in competition with Howard K. Smith's News and Comment program on ABC News. A former CBS correspondent, Smith switched networks early in 1961, by which time <mask> had already resigned from ABC. Smith later took over <mask>'s former role as anchor of ABC Evening News. In May 1967, during the final year of What's My Line?, it was announced that <mask> would become the director of the Voice of America after the show ended. He assumed the position on September 20, 1967, but lasted only until June 6, 1968, when he resigned over a claim that Leonard H. Marks, his superior at the U.S. Information Agency, had been making personnel changes behind <mask>'s back.From December 1968 to January 1969, <mask> hosted the PBS arts and humanities program "Critique." Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Old Dominion Foundation (later the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation), and the Louis Calder Foundation (paper industry leader), “Critique” was originally scheduled for 26 weekly programs. However, <mask> resigned after only five programs because the station declined to delete from a taped program in the series — titled "Huui, Huui," an opening production of the New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theater — a remark by David Goldman of radio station WCBS in New York that <mask> considered obscene. The most notable and last guest on a "Critique" program hosted by <mask> was Bronx-born singer/songwriter/pianist Laura Nyro, probably recorded on December 4, 1968, and originally broadcast on January 1, 1969, in which she performed demos of "And When I Die," "The Man Who Sends Me Home," "Captain Saint Lucifer," "Mercy on Broadway," "You Don't Love Me When I Cry," and "Save the Country," and also featured an interview with her manager David Geffen. Following <mask>'s resignation, only one more episode of "Critique" was produced and broadcast, an April 1969 episode featuring The Doors as the musical guests. <mask> did not host the syndicated version of What's My Line?, although he did co-host a 25th-anniversary program about the show for ABC in 1975. <mask> was a member of the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors from 1966 to 1982.He was a frequent forum moderator for the conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute throughout the 1980s. Tilton School
At his alma mater, the Tilton School, there is an award named for <mask> given to "persons whose pursuit of excellence and deep commitment as a member of the school family resembles that of <mask>'s involvement with Tilton: continuous and widely known expressions of support in word and deed, inspiring others to reach goals that common experience dictates are impossible." Every year during Alumni Weekend Tilton School recognizes outstanding alumni during School Meeting on Saturday. Four awards for consideration are Alumnus of the Year, George L. Plimpton Award, <mask> <mask> Award, and Artist Hall of Fame. Personal life

It ended in divorce in April 1959.On December 22, 1960, <mask> married Virginia Warren, daughter of then–chief justice Earl Warren, in San Francisco.
