 first day, that he would be compelled to follow, in spring training and during the regular season, in many cities, throughout his playing career. The Indians had a doubleheader against the White Sox on Sunday, July 6, for which 31,566 were in attendance; it was estimated that approximately 30 percent of the crowd were black.Some congregations of black churches let out early while others walked immediately from Sunday service to Comiskey Park. Boudreau had <mask> pinch-hit in the first game but for the second, listed him a starter at first base, a position <mask> was not expected to fill when the Indians brought him up to play at second base. Doby had played the position before with the Eagles but was without a proper mitt for first base and met much resistance when attempts were made to borrow one from teammates, including first baseman Eddie Robinson, whom Boudreau had asked Doby to replace that day. <mask> said only because Gordon asked in the clubhouse to borrow one of the first baseman's mitts did he have one to use in the second game of the doubleheader as earlier direct requests from Doby were rejected. The mitt was loaned by a White Sox player. Boudreau recounts an incident where Robinson refused the mitt to Doby, but when asked by Indians traveling secretary Spud Goldstein, Robinson obliged. It was the only game Doby started for the remainder of the season.<mask> recorded his first major league hit in four at-bats and had an RBI in a 5–1 Indians win. A columnist wrote in the Plain Dealer on July 8: "Cleveland's man in the street is the right sort of American, as was evidenced right solidly once more by the response to the question: 'How does the signing of <mask> by the Indians strike you? Said the man in the street: Can he hit? ... That's all that counts." Conversely, <mask> was criticized from players both active and retired. Noted former player Rogers Hornsby said, after watching <mask> play one time in 1947:

Bill Veeck did the Negro race no favor when he signed <mask> to a Cleveland contract. If Veeck wanted to demonstrate that the Negro has no place in major league baseball, he could have used no subtler means to establish the point.If he were white he wouldn't be considered good enough to play with a semi-pro club. He is fast on his feet but that lets him out. He hasn't any other quality that could possibly recommend him. In his rookie year, <mask> hit .156 (5-for-32) in 29 games. He played four games at second base and one each at first base and shortstop. Throughout the season he talked with Robinson via telephone, the two encouraging each other. "And Jackie and I agreed we shouldn't challenge anybody or cause trouble—or we'd both be out of the big leagues, just like that.We figured that if we spoke out, we would ruin things for other black players." After his rookie season, <mask> again pursued time on the basketball court and appeared with the Paterson Crescents of the American Basketball League after signing a contract in January 1948. He was the first black player to join the league. Cleveland Indians

1948–1950

In 1948, <mask> experienced his first spring training with the Indians in Tucson, Arizona. Unlike their white teammates, <mask>, along with Satchel Paige and Minnie Miñoso, were not permitted to stay at the nearby Santa Rita hotel but instead stayed with a local black family and used a rental car provided by the Indians for transportation. During spring training, Doby read books concerning outfield play, and received instruction and encouragement from former Indians manager Tris Speaker and Indians' farm system director Hank Greenberg. <mask> also credited Indians coach Bill McKechnie with helping him adjust to the majors and learning the outfield.In an exhibition game in Houston against the New York Giants, <mask> hit a home run that "may have traveled 500 feet before landing far beyond the fence in center field." As Moore wrote in his biography of <mask>, "With that home run, all doubts that <mask> would make the 1948 Cleveland team vanished. That year, he played in 121 games and hit .301 for the season with 14 home runs and 66 RBIs. Throughout the regular season <mask> was racially abused by opposing teams, and Veeck asked AL president Will Harridge for support in getting players to rein in their animosity towards <mask>. <mask> played a major role in Cleveland's World Series victory against the Boston Braves. In Game 4 on October 9, Doby hit the first home run by a black player in World Series history. A picture featuring an embrace between <mask> and white teammate Steve Gromek, who had pitched a complete game that day, was on the cover of the next day's Plain Dealer.Richard Goldstein of The New York Times called the photograph "a signature moment in the integration of Major League Baseball." Of the picture, <mask> said, "The picture was more rewarding and happy for me than actually hitting the home run. The picture finally showed a moment of a man showing his feelings for me." The Indians defeated the Braves in six games and with it, Cleveland had its first World Series championship since the 1920 season. <mask>'s .318 batting average during the Series led the Indians. Nationally syndicated columnist Grantland Rice argued that without <mask> and Gene Bearden, who had won 20 games that year, the Indians would have finished in fourth or fifth place. After the Series, <mask> received a celebratory parade in Paterson, New Jersey, and during the offseason he, along with other teammates, appeared in the 1949 film The Kid From Cleveland.With additional income available due to the post-season run and Series championship, <mask> and his wife attempted to buy a home in Paterson in an all-white neighborhood but were kept out by a petition from members of the community. The <mask>s were allowed to purchase their desired home when the Paterson city mayor intervened on their behalf. During the 1949 season, <mask> was selected to his first MLB All-Star Game. He was one of five Indians selected by Boudreau and joined Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe as the first black players to be amongst those chosen to participate in the 1949 All-Star Game. Boudreau fined <mask> after he attempted to steal home with no outs and bases loaded in a game against the Yankees on July 20. Of the fine, Boudreau said, "It was not based only on that attempt to steal home. <mask> has taken several unnecessary chances lately.This should make him more careful." His home run (24) and RBI (85) totals increased during the 1949 season, and by 1950, he was considered the best center fielder in the game by The Sporting News. By the first week in July, <mask>'s .370 batting average trailed only 1949 AL batting champion George Kell, who had a .375 average. He earned career-bests in batting average (.326), hits (164) and on-base percentage (OBP) (.442), while playing in 142 games. <mask> hit the 100-RBI mark (102) for the first time in his career while his OBP led the AL. He finished eighth in AL MVP voting, highest among outfielders. At the end of the season, Cleveland signed him to a new, more lucrative contract.<mask> was named by Cleveland sports writers as the Cleveland Baseball Man of the Year after the season, the first time a black player was chosen. 1951–1955
<mask> hit 20 home runs and 69 RBIs in 1951, both fewer than the previous season, and his batting average improved to .295. His 21-game hit-streak was the second-longest for the Indians that season, behind Dale Mitchell's mark of 23 games in a row. Indians general manager Hank Greenberg reduced <mask>'s salary due to the lower home run numbers despite <mask>, who attributed the lower numbers to tightness in his legs, stating he would not accept a pay cut. Indians manager Al López confirmed that <mask> was injury-riddled throughout the season, stating that he "was beset by first one injury and then another" including "a muscle tear in his thigh, a groin pull, an ankle twist." <mask> received blame for the Indians' failure to win the AL pennant and was labeled a "loner" by some in the press, including Plain Dealer sports editor Gordon Cobbledick who in an article in Sport wrote "<mask>'s a mixed-up guy—a badly mixed-up guy" stemming from "the emotional impact of discovering racial prejudice against him." Cobbledick also took issue with <mask>'s assertion that opposing pitchers were knocking him down due to Doby being black.The assertion was confirmed by Sam Lacy, who wrote in the Baltimore Afro-American, "Statistics show that eight colored players in the two major leagues were hit by pitches a total of 68 times during the 1951 campaign, an average of  times per man. No other player was hit as many as eight times in the season." One month before spring training for the 1952 season, <mask> employed former Olympic track and field athlete Harrison Dillard to come to his home in New Jersey to prepare his legs in hopes of eliminating injuries, which had affected him the previous season. Dillard and the Indians' team doctor prescribed lower-body warm-ups to Doby before the start of each game. Leg injuries continued to bother Doby during the start of the season. On June 4, 1952, he hit for the cycle. By the end of the 1952 season, <mask> was second in the AL in RBIs to teammate Al Rosen by one, 105 to 104.His .541 slugging percentage, runs scored (104), strikeout (111), and home run (32) totals were all highest in the AL. Leading up to the 1953 season, <mask> asked Greenberg and Indians management for a pay raise after earning $22,000 the previous season. In early March, the raise was granted, and he was slated to make $28,000 that year. For 1953, <mask> had a .263 batting average, which was his lowest since joining the league in 1947. He led the AL in strikeouts for the second and final time in his career, a career-high 121 times, but hit 29 home runs and 102 RBIs on the year. He also had 96 walks, which was third in the AL. For the sixth time in his major league career, <mask> was named an All-Star during the 1954 season, one of five Indians named.The game was held at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium and featured the second-largest crowd to watch an All-Star Game (the largest was in 1935 at the same stadium). In what would prove his final career All-Star at bat, <mask> hit a pinch-hit solo home run in the eighth inning to tie the game at 9–9; the AL squad went on to win, 11–9. His home run was the first hit by a black player in an All-Star Game. The game, which had a record 17 hits by the AL and was the highest-scoring All-Star Game until 1998, was called the best ever by All-Star Game founder Arch Ward. As the regular season resumed, <mask> helped the Indians to win a franchise-record 111 games and the AL pennant. His regular season 32 home runs and career-high 126 RBIs were highest in the AL, which led to him finishing second in AL MVP voting. The Indians were swept in the 1954 World Series by <mask>'s former Eagles teammate Monte Irvin and the New York Giants.In his last full season with the Indians in 1955, <mask> was selected for his seventh consecutive and final All-Star Game. <mask>'s leg injuries affected him severely at this point in his career and he did not enter the game. He finished the 1955 season with 26 home runs and 75 RBIs while hitting .291 in 131 games, his fewest played since 1948. Not all in Cleveland were disappointed to see <mask> leaving. Wrote one Plain Dealer columnist, Franklin Lewis: "He has been a controversial athlete. Highly gifted, he was frequently morose, sullen, and upon occasion, downright surly to his teammates ... He thought of himself, at the beginning, as the symbol of the Negro in his league."<mask> responded, "I was looked on as a Black man, not as a human being. I did feel a responsibility to the Black players who came after me, but that was a responsibility, basically, to people, not just to Black people." Later years (1956–1960)
After spending nine seasons with Cleveland, <mask> was traded on October 25, 1955, to the Chicago White Sox for Chico Carrasquel and Jim Busby. Chicago was looking for a consistent home run hitter after finishing the season with 116 home runs as a team. "The search is over for a long ball hitter. We've certainly needed a consistent one—and we've been eying Doby for some time", said White Sox vice president Chuck Comiskey. White Sox manager Marty Marion believed <mask>'s bat would be a welcome addition to his club when he said, "The guy used to murder us when we played Cleveland.He'll make a big difference in the number of one-run and two-run decisions we might lose." After winning a doubleheader against the Yankees on June 22, 1956, <mask> and the White Sox swept New York, the first time since the 1945 season the Yankees had been swept in a four-game series. The White Sox won eight straight games, the longest winning streak in

 the AL to that point in the season, and had done so with the help of <mask>'s six home runs during the eight-game stretch. "You know, when we dealt for <mask>, we weren't worried about <mask>. We knew he'd come through", Comiskey said. <mask> finished the season with a .268 batting average and led the team with 24 home runs and 102 RBIs. Chicago finished 1956 in third place in the AL with an 85–69 record.In a game on August 20, 1957, against the Washington Senators, <mask> helped preserve pitcher Bob Keegan's no-hitter with a backhand catch off a long line drive from Herb Plews, one of "two close calls" for Keegan that game. His 1957 home run total of 14 tied for the team-high, as he managed a .288 average and recorded 79 RBIs, second-highest on the team after former Indians teammate Minnie Miñoso. The White Sox finished second in the AL with a 90–64 record. <mask> was part of a December 3, 1957, multi-player trade between the White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, then was traded again on April 1 to Cleveland along with Don Ferrarese for Gene Woodling, Bud Daley, and Dick Williams. He appeared in 89 games with the Indians that season and had a .289 batting average, 13 home runs, and 45 RBIs. He was sent to the Detroit Tigers on March 21, 1959, in exchange for Tito Francona. Tigers general manager Rick Ferrell said, "this gives us some more power and we just hope <mask> hits as well in Briggs Stadium this season as he has in other years."He hit .218 with four RBIs before Detroit sold the 35-year-old <mask> to the White Sox on May 13 for $20,000. After 21 games with the White Sox, he was sent to Triple-A affiliate San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League after hitting .241 with no home runs and 9 RBIs. Doby fractured an ankle while sliding into third base after hitting a triple during a road game the Padres played against Sacramento, and was sent to a local hospital in Sacramento before going to Johns Hopkins Hospital for further evaluation. <mask> worked out with the White Sox before the 1960 season but, due to nagging injuries, did not earn a roster spot. In late April he joined the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League on a trial basis but was released by the team on May 6 after X-rays showed bone deterioration in his affected ankle. <mask> finished his 13-year major league career with a .283 batting average, accumulated 1,515 hits, 253 home runs and 970 RBIs in 1,533 games and 5,348 at-bats. Of his 1,533 career games, 1,146 of them were spent with the Indians."I played against great talent in the Major Leagues and I played against great talent in the Negro Leagues. I didn't see a lot of difference", said Doby. Nippon baseball (1962)
<mask> had participated in baseball clinics in 1962 as a member of a travel delegation from the U.S. Department of State. That year, <mask> came out of retirement and became one of the first Americans to play professional baseball in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league when he and Don Newcombe, a former teammate with the Newark Eagles, signed contracts with the Chunichi Dragons. After the season, <mask> returned to the U.S. in October and resumed his work as a liquor retailer. Managerial and executive appointments
After retiring as a player, <mask> became a scout with the Montreal Expos in 1969 and served as a minor league instructor with the organization in 1970. He was batting coach under manager Gene Mauch from 1971 to 1973 and again in 1976.He managed various teams during five seasons of winter league baseball in Venezuela, including Águilas del Zulia during the 1970–71 winter season. <mask> rejoined the Indians for the 1974 season as first base coach for manager Ken Aspromonte. When Aspromonte was fired after the 1974 season, the Indians named Frank Robinson the club's player-manager and baseball's first black manager. After Robinson's hire as manager, <mask> returned to work for the Expos. In 1976, Bill Veeck purchased the White Sox for a second time and hired <mask> to be the team's batting coach. As a team, the White Sox finished the 1976 season with a .255 batting average, 586 runs scored and 73 home runs. By June 29, 1977, the team's average was .284, and had recorded 382 runs scored and 87 home runs.They finished the season second in team batting average (to the Yankees and Red Sox, each with a .281 average) and had 192 home runs and 844 runs scored as a team. After firing the White Sox's manager and former Doby teammate Bob Lemon, Veeck replaced him with <mask> on June 30, 1978. At age 53, <mask> became the second black manager in the majors after Robinson. "It's so nice to work for a man like Bill Veeck. You just work as hard as you can, and if the opportunity arises, you will certainly get the opportunity to fulfill your dreams", <mask> said after being named White Sox manager. To that point in the season, the White Sox had a 34–40 record. On July 1 in his first game as manager, the White Sox suffered a 10–0 loss to the Minnesota Twins but <mask> won his second game, 8–5, the next day against the same team.The White Sox finished 71–90, including 37–50 under <mask>, in what would be <mask>'s sole managerial role. Veeck hired player-manager Don Kessinger to succeed <mask> after deciding not to re-hire Doby, although Kessinger resigned as manager in the second half of the 1979 season. After removing <mask> from the manager's role and reassigning him to batting coach, the position <mask> held before being named manager, Veeck said, "<mask> will always have a role on this team in some capacity." He served in that role for one additional season and resigned in October 1979. After retiring from baseball, <mask> was named director of communications for the National Basketball Association's New Jersey Nets from 1980 to 1989 and also served as the Nets' director of community affairs until 1990. <mask> was named special assistant to the AL's last president, Gene Budig, on April 17, 1995. Managerial record

Second man

The New York Times wrote, "In glorifying those who are first, the second is often forgotten ... <mask> integrated all those American League ball parks where Jackie Robinson never appeared.And he did it with class and clout." During the 1997 season, when the long-departed Jackie Robinson's number 42 was being retired throughout baseball, and the still-living <mask> was being virtually ignored by the media, an editorial in Sports Illustrated pointed out that Doby had to suffer the same indignities that Robinson did, and with nowhere near the media attention and implicit support. Scoop Jackson in 2007 wrote, in response to the tradition of MLB players wearing jerseys in homage of Robinson, "Second place finishers in America are suckers. And so are those who make the story of history less simple than it needs to be. This happens sometimes in America. Those who don't come first or don't do things a certain way get lost. They disappear.""Jackie got all the publicity for putting up with it (racial slurs). But it was the same thing I had to deal with. He was first, but the crap I took was just as bad. Nobody said, 'We're gonna be nice to the second Black,'" <mask> said. <mask> served as one of the pallbearers at Robinson's funeral. As fellow Hall of Famer Joe Morgan wrote, "Anyone who knew <mask> knew that he admired Robinson and was never jealous of the attention Robinson received." Former teammate Al Rosen said:

Jackie was a college educated man who had been an officer in the service and who played at the Triple-A level.Jackie was brought in by Branch Rickey specifically to be the first black player in major league baseball. <mask> came up as a second baseman who didn't have time to get his full college education, and was forced to play a different position in his first major league season. I think, because of those circumstances, he had a more difficult time than Jackie Robinson. I don't think he has gotten the credit he deserves. Doby experienced many prejudices during his time before, during, and after the majors. One incident took place during a game as Doby was sliding into second base when the shortstop from the opposing team spat tobacco juice on him. Doby called it the worst injustice he experienced on the field.He endured many racial slurs, from the stands and elsewhere, during games. He also received death threats. After he had retired as a player, <mask> recalled memories of his days as a barrier-breaker. "You know why I hit so well in Washington and St. Louis? They were major Jim Crow seating parks and when I came to bat, I knew where the noise was coming from and who was making it. I felt like a quarterback with 5,000 cheerleaders calling his name. You know most of them couldn't afford to be there.I never forgot them." Shortly after the Indians had honored <mask> by naming a nearby street after him, The Plain Dealer columnist Bill Livingston wrote, "The <mask> way of pioneering was the same as the Jackie Robinson way in the National League, only <mask>'s debut occurred six short weeks later and with almost no advance preparation by <mask> or the Indians." <mask> threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the 1997 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, played at Jacobs Field. The decision to have the game in Cleveland coincided with the 1997 season marking the fiftieth anniversary of Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier. It was also 50 years and 3 days since <mask> became the first black player in the American League. Hall of Fame

<mask> was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on March 3, 1998, by the Veterans Committee at the age of 74. "This is just a tremendous feeling.It's kind of like a bale of cotton has been on your shoulders, and now it's off", said <mask>. When he received word about his election, it was by a telephone call from fellow Hall member Ted Williams. Upon hearing of <mask>'s election, Gene Mauch, said, "You have to be some kind of special person to go through what <mask> and Jackie Robinson went through. They both are. I'm not too sure there's a player in the game today who could handle it." He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on July 26, 1998. <mask> became the first member born in South Carolina elected to the Hall.Although he was the first to play in MLB, <mask> was the last member elected to the Hall of the four players to ever play in both a Negro league and MLB World Series, the others being Satchel Paige, Monte Irvin, and Willie Mays. Death and legacy
<mask> and his wife, Helyn, had five children, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. When the <mask>s moved to Montclair, Yogi Berra and his wife became neighborhood friends and children of the two families played baseball and football together. <mask> had a kidney removed in 1997 after a cancerous tumor was detected. Helyn, married to <mask> for 55 years, died in 2001 after a six-month battle with cancer. <mask> died on June 18, 2003, at his home in Montclair, New Jersey, at age 79 after suffering cancer. When <mask> died, President George W. Bush made the following statement:

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig (1992–2015) released a statement a day following <mask>'s death:

Former MLB Commissioner Fay Vincent said:

Long before <mask> was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame came induction in the Indians Hall of Fame in August 1966.Later, in May 1973, he was inducted into the South Carolina Hall of Fame and in 2010, the New Jersey Hall of Fame. On August 10, 2007, the Indians paid tribute to <mask> on Larry Doby Day by collectively using his number (14) on their uniforms. The franchise again honored him when in 2012, Eagle Avenue, next to the Indians' Progressive Field, was renamed "<mask> Way" in an on-field postgame ceremony. Among those present at the ceremony were Jim "Mudcat" Grant, Indians president Mark Shapiro, Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson, and various members of <mask>'s family. The Indians unveiled a life-sized bronze statue of <mask> outside Progressive Field on July 25, 2015. The city of Paterson, New Jersey, renamed the Eastside Park baseball field "<mask> Doby Field" on June 1, 2002. The Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center has a section named the <mask> Wing.Of Berra, <mask> said, "Yogi was one of the first opposing players to talk to me. As a catcher, Yogi talked to everybody. I finally had to tell the umpire: 'Please tell him to shut up. He asked me how my family was back in the first inning.'" In 2011, the U.S. Postal Service announced that <mask> would be one of the four baseball players (along with Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, and Willie Stargell) to appear on a postage stamp in 2012, as part of its "Major League Baseball All-Stars" series. The stamp was released July 21, 2012.In 2013, the Bob Feller Act of Valor Award honored <mask> as one of 37 Baseball Hall of Fame members for his service in the United States Navy during World War

<mask>, Jr. (March 8, 1856 – November 6, 1937) was an American Impressionist painter, perhaps most renowned for his architectural paintings, especially of skyscrapers in New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago. An avid traveler, he was also known for his paintings of European and Asian landmarks, as well as natural landscapes, portraits, florals, and interiors. In addition to being a painter, he was also a teacher and writer. His first wife, <mask>, was also a highly regarded painter. Background and education
<mask>, Jr. was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on March 8, 1856, into a well-to-do family of English-Irish heritage. He had four older and four younger siblings. His mother, <mask>, whose ancestor emigrated to the U.S. from Weymouth, England, was an amateur painter in watercolors.His father, Dr. <mask> <mask>, whose grandfather came from Derry, Ireland, was a surgeon and a lawyer with a great appreciation for the arts. Young <mask> had been inspired by the art which he discovered when he attended the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876. Both of his parents were highly supportive of his ambitions, encouraging him to become an artist. In 1879, <mask> enrolled in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, studying art under famed controversial realist painter Thomas Eakins for three years. In 1886, he embarked on the first of his many travels to foreign lands, visiting the Netherlands, Belgium, and Brittany. Afterwards, his art education resumed at the Académie Julian in Paris from 1886 to 1890, with Henri Lucien Doucet, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and Jules Joseph Lefebvre. He also studied at Académie Delécluse and Académie Vitti.His work of this period consisted mostly of landscapes painted in a Barbizon manner. He traveled extensively throughout his life, sketching and painting scenes of Europe, Asia, and the United States in watercolors and oils. Life and work

Philadelphia and New York

Back in Philadelphia, <mask> taught watercolor classes and architectural rendering at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry (now Drexel University) from 1895 to 1898. Many of <mask>'s paintings were destroyed in an 1896 fire at Philadelphia's Hazeltine Galleries; as a result, relatively little of his early work exists today. While at Drexel, he spent his summers abroad, primarily in the Dutch artists colony of Laren in North Holland and in Dordrecht in South Holland. Among the other artists in Dordrecht at this time was renowned painter Emma Lampert (1855–1920) from Rochester, New York. She and <mask> met, and were soon married, in Rochester on June 9, 1897.In 1898, the <mask>s returned to Europe for a few years. During this period, as <mask> painted architectural landmarks, he developed the Impressionist style which he used for the rest of his artistic career. <mask> and his wife exhibited together in several two-person shows, including a May 1902 exhibit at the Philadelphia Art Club and a 1915 show at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester. They moved in 1904 to New York City, where he would remain, other than his many travels, until 1921. Here he continued work, which he had begun about two years earlier in Philadelphia, on his famous skyscraper paintings. <mask> said that he was "greatly interested in the skyscraper buildings in Broad Street. It was intensely interesting to watch the freakishness disappear from those queer towering structures in the glory of the right kind of light".He said that the painting which first brought him great success was 1902's Broad Street, New York; in 1903, this painting was honored with the W. T. Evans Award of the New York Watercolor Club. In another interview, he had stated that "one of the points that most strikes me about this view up Broad Street is the dramatic contrast between the old, low type of buildings ... and the great skyscrapers. My pictures are built on these contrasts." In 1911, The New York Times, citing <mask> as the artist who best captured modern, towering structures on canvas, declared him to be "the skyscraper artist par excellence of America". In an article the following year, they stated that he was "one of the most interesting figures in American art", reiterating that "in his particular field he has no superior". In addition to New York City, his paintings often depict skyscrapers in Philadelphia and Chicago. <mask>'s painting Fifth Avenue, New York was purchased by the French government for the Musée du Luxembourg.Such an honor was quite rare for an American artist. Critics at the time, and up to the present, frequently compared the works of <mask> and Childe Hassam. They have often been credited as being the two most iconic artists whose paintings began a trend of celebrating the wonders of the modern city, especially New York City. <mask> may have intentionally avoided certain subjects in order to differentiate himself from Hassam. Hassam, unlike <mask>, did not concentrate on the tall buildings in his cityscapes. <mask> was as proficient painting in watercolors as he was in oils. He would often create a small watercolor study before painting a larger work of the same subject in oils.But the smaller watercolors were not mere sketches for his own use; they were finished pieces which he exhibited, sometimes years earlier than the larger corresponding oil paintings that he would ultimately produce. <mask> was elected to a prestigious membership in the National Academy of Design in 1912 (he had previously been elected an Associate, four years earlier). He and his wife were aboard the RMS Carpathia during its rescue mission for the survivors from the sunken RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912. He assisted in the effort, and during the rescue operation, he created several paintings which document the events. The <mask>s gave up their ship's cabin so some of the survivors would have berths to sleep in. <mask> exhibited in San Francisco's Panama–Pacific International Exposition of 1915, winning the gold medal for oil and the silver medal for watercolor. While there, he created a series of paintings depicting the exposition's buildings, including the Palace of Fine Arts.He also participated in the Panama–California Exposition in San Diego in 1916. The <mask>s spent the winter of 1915–16 in Los Angeles. This time in southern California was undoubtedly a key factor in <mask>'s later decision to move there permanently. His wife Emma died of tuberculosis on July 30, 1920. Santa Barbara

After his wife's death, <mask> moved to Santa Barbara, California in January 1921. Santa Barbara would be his home base for the rest of his life, spending two years in northern Europe and Tunisia. He became Dean of Painting at the Santa Barbara Community School of Arts.<mask> said of his new environment: "I find Santa Barbara so conducive to the sort of things a painter most craves – climate, flowers, mountains, seascapes, etc. – with a community interest in all sorts of artistic matters that I am compensated, to a degree, for the isolation from that artistic universe of America." But he hadn't abandoned that "artistic universe of America", New York City, as he continued to maintain a studio there for ten years after his move to California. Another aspect of his creativity became evident starting in the mid-1920s, as, perhaps influenced by his father's great love of literature, he began writing plays and books. His plays found their way in the 1920s and 1930 to theater companies in places such as Pasadena, Redlands, and Santa Fe, and were also produced at a theater which he founded in Santa Barbara, called The Strollers. In addition to the plays, he also wrote novels, illustrated books, and an autobiography entitled In These Old Days. In April 1927, he married his second wife, Marie Henriette Frehsee, in Arizona.<mask> continued to enjoy traveling, and kept painting until prevented from doing so by failing eyesight in his last years. He died in Santa Barbara on November 6, 1937, at the age of 81. He is interred at West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. In 1938 Santa Barbara's Faulkner Memorial Art Gallery paid tribute to <mask>'s legacy by presenting a memorial exhibition of his work. Just several months before his death, however, <mask> initiated the effort to convert the abandoned post office building into an art museum in a letter to the editor of the Santa Barbara News-Press in July 1937. Just four years later that pipedream materialized into the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Exhibitions

<mask> (February 14, 1922 – February 21, 1982), professionally known as <mask>, was an influential New York City rock and roll impresario and disc jockey of the 1950s, '60s and '70s. During the early days of Beatlemania, he frequently referred to himself as the fifth Beatle. Early life
<mask> came from a show business family: his mother, Jean, played piano in vaudeville and wrote music and his aunt was a character actress on the stage and in film. He was a child actor—an extra—in several 1930s Hollywood films. He attended Peekskill Military Academy, a military boarding school, and he was later inducted into the United States Army where he arranged entertainment for the troops. Following the war, he put together shows in the Catskills' "Borscht Belt", also doing warm-ups for the headline performers. Post-war

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, he worked in public relations and as a song plugger, helping to promote tunes like Bob Merrill's "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?."From there, he worked as a radio producer and co-host at WMCA (and briefly thereafter at WMGM),  working with personalities such as Laraine Day on the late night interview program Day at Night and with Eva Gabor. At the same time, he was doing promotion for several baseball players, including Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, and his radio beginnings may be attributable to his connection with the New York Giants, whose manager, Leo Durocher, was the husband of Laraine Day. His work on those shows earned him his own late-night show that often featured his wife as co-host, as was popular at the time. For a while in the 1950s he was president of the National Conference of Disk Jockeys. Deejay: from AM to FM

"This meeting of the Swingin' Soiree is now in session!" <mask>'s big break came in 1958 after he moved to WINS/1010 to do the all-night show, which he titled The Swingin' Soiree. Shortly after his arrival, WINS's high energy star disk jockey, Alan Freed, was indicted for tax evasion and forced off the air.Though Freed's spot was briefly occupied by Bruce Morrow, who later became known as Cousin Brucie on WABC, <mask> was soon moved into the 7–11 pm time period and remained there for the next seven years, always opening his show with Sinatra and making radio history with his innovative segues, jingles, sound effects, antics, and frenetic, creative programming. Jeff Rice, writing in M/C Journal, says that Tom Wolfe calls <mask> "the original hysterical disk jockey". "The Fifth Beatle"
<mask> the K reached his peak of popularity in the mid-1960s when, as the top-rated radio host in New York City, he became an early and ardent supporter and friend of The Beatles. When the Beatles came to New York on February 7, 1964, <mask> was the first DJ they welcomed into their circle, having heard about him and his Brooklyn Fox shows from American groups such as the Ronettes (sisters Ronnie and Estelle Bennett and their first cousin Nedra Talley). The Ronettes met the Beatles in mid-January 1964, just a few weeks before, when the Harlem-born trio first toured England (the Rolling Stones were the group's opening act). The Beatles and Decca Records (distributor of Philles Records, the Ronettes' U.S. label) jointly threw the Ronettes a welcome party in London. When the band arrived in New York, <mask> was invited by Brian Epstein to spend time with the group, and <mask> persuaded his radio station (WINS) to let him broadcast his prime time show from the Beatles' Plaza Hotel suite.He subsequently accompanied the band to Washington, D.C. for their first U.S. concert, was backstage at their The Ed Sullivan Show premiere, and roomed with Beatles guitarist George Harrison in Miami, broadcasting his nightly radio shows from his hotel room there. He came to be referred to as the "Fifth Beatle", a moniker he said he was given by Harrison during the train ride to the Beatles' first concert in Washington, D.C. or by Ringo Starr at a press conference before that concert. (However, in The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit he is seen christening himself thus in a phone conversation with the Beatles on the morning of their arrival in New York.) His radio station WINS picked up on the name and billed him as the Fifth Beatle, a moniker he came to regret. He was invited to the set of A Hard Day's Night in England and made several treks to England during 1964, giving WINS listeners more Beatle exclusives. The move to FM
By the end of 1964, <mask> found out that WINS was going to change to an all-news format the following year. He resigned on the air in December 1964 (breaking news about the sale of the station and the change in format before the station and Group W released it) and did his last show on February 27 prior to the format change that occurred in April 1965.A year later, in 1966, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that AM and FM radio stations could no longer simply simultaneously broadcast the same content, opening the door for <mask> to become program director and primetime DJ on WOR-FM, 98.7—one of the first FM rock stations, soon airing such DJs as Rosko and Scott Muni in the new FM format. <mask> played long album cuts rather than singles, often playing groups of songs by one artist, or thematically linked songs, uninterrupted by commercials. He combined live in-studio interviews with folk-rock—he called it "attitude music"—and all forms of popular music in a free-form format. He played artists like Bob Dylan and Janis Ian, the long album versions of their songs that came to be known as the "FM cuts". Al Aronowitz quotes <mask> as saying about this formula, "You didn't have to hype the record any more. The music was speaking for itself." Dylan
During that time <mask> was often a champion of the much-maligned electric Bob Dylan.He introduced him to boos at a huge Forest Hills Tennis Stadium concert in August 1965, saying "It's not rock, it's not folk, it's a new thing called Dylan." He defended Dylan on a WABC-TV panel:
Even in his months of seclusion after the motorcycle accident, WABC-TV dedicated a television show to a discussion of what Bob Dylan was really like. When one member of the panel accused Dylan of all but inventing juvenile delinquency, there was only <mask> the K to defend him. 'Is Bob Dylan every kid's father?' <mask> asked. Last years in radio
WOR switched to the tighter Drake format where DJs weren't allowed to pick the music and talk as much, so <mask> the K left New York radio to host programs in Toronto—on CHUM—and on WHFS 102.3 FM in Bethesda, Maryland in 1972. He returned to New York after his short stint on WHFS on the weekend show NBC Monitor and as a fill-in morning DJ, and then in 1972 moved to a regular evening weekend program on WNBC radio where Don Imus was broadcasting; he was joined there by the legendary Wolfman Jack, a year later.Although it was low-key, <mask>'s WNBC show featured his own innovative trademark programming style, including telling stories that were illustrated by selected songs, his unique segues, and his pairing cuts by theme or idiosyncratic associations. In early 1975, he was brought on for a brief stint at Long Island progressive rock station WLIR, and his final New York radio show ran later that year on WKTU after which—already in ill health—he moved to Los Angeles. The syndicated show Soundtrack of the '60s mentioned below was heard in New York City on WCBS-FM. Gary Owens succeeded <mask> as its host. Brooklyn Fox shows

Throughout his New York radio career, <mask> produced multi-racial rock 'n' roll shows three or four times a year, usually during the Easter school recess, the week before Labor Day, and between Christmas and New Year at the Brooklyn Fox Theater. Those shows featured the top performers of the era and introduced new acts, such as The Delicates, Dionne Warwick, The Shirelles, Chuck Jackson, The Zombies, Little Anthony and the Imperials, the Ronettes, the Shangri-Las, Gene Pitney, Ben E. <mask>, The Tymes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Bobby Vinton (who was the leader of the house band when he asked for a chance to perform as a singer), The Lovin' Spoonful, Cream, and The Who, among many others. Records, television, stage, and syndication
Throughout his radio career, from the 1950s through the 1970s, <mask> also released numerous LP record albums, often compilations of hits by the acts that appeared in his famous Brooklyn Fox shows.These albums frequently had names such as <mask> the K's Blasts from the Past or <mask> the K's Sing Along with the Original Golden Gassers. He also released two albums of shows recorded live from the Brooklyn Fox Theatre: Murray the K's Holiday Revue (1964) and Greatest Holiday Revue (1966), combined on the two-record set Live as it Happened (1976). "Meusurray" (named after a language game <mask> invented and based on a technique used by carnival barkers to attract a crowd was a regular shtick on his 1010 WINS radio show) was a single by the girl group The Delicates, released on the United Artists label. The Delicates were Denise Ferri, Arleen Lanzotti and Peggy Santiglia ("Murray's Original Dancing Girls") They wrote the song which was arranged by Don Costa. The Delicates also wrote and recorded his "Submarine Race Watcher" theme, used to open and close his radio show. It was during the "twist craze" that <mask> introduced a song sung by an unidentified artist named, "The Lone Twister", which in fact was <mask>. In the mid-1960s, <mask> also produced and hosted television variety shows featuring rock performers.The best known was a national broadcast entitled It's What's Happening, Baby which was made under the auspices of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The show aired on June 28, 1965 and featured performances by many of the popular artists of the day, including Jan & Dean, Mary Wells, the Dave Clark Five, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, The Supremes, Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles, The Drifters, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, The Ronettes, The Righteous Brothers and Little Anthony & the Imperials He also ran shows with British Invasion bands that included The Zombies and The Yardbirds (who featured both Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame, on guitar). That show also introduced the first music video-style programming, pre-dating MTV by 15 years. In 1966, <mask> collaborated with media art collective USCO to design and produce the psychedelic multimedia event The World, which took place in the Roosevelt Field abandoned airplane hangar in Long Island and was dubbed the first discotheque. Live and recorded music played while slides and film were projected onto the crowd. Music acts that performed included The Young Rascals, The Hollies, Del Shannon, The Isley Brothers, and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. The World was featured on the cover of Life magazine in May 1966.In 1967, <mask> produced and wrote "Murray the K in New York" which expanded on the music video-style approach he began in It's What's Happening, Baby and featured an eclectic line-up of stars, including The Doors, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Spanky & Our Gang, and The Four Tops with guest appearances by Ed Sullivan and Joe Namath. Other locally broadcast shows from the period included "Murray the K at Shea" with James Brown and The Four Seasons and "Music in the Year 2000." In 1968, <mask> produced and hosted a studio panel discussion program entitled "The Sound is Now"; it included appearances by Phil Ochs and Sonny and Cher who were grilled by Henry Morgan and Tex McCrary. During the early 1970s, <mask> acted as a special consultant to the stage show Beatlemania, and he toured the country giving interviews on behalf of the show. In Los Angeles in the late 1970s he hosted Watermark's syndicated Soundtrack of the '60s until ill health forced him to resign and forced the cancellation of A Salute to Murray the K, a tribute concert slated for Madison Square Garden. Film

<mask> was parodied in the film The Rutles – All You Need Is Cash as a radio host named <mask> the K, played by actor <mask>. <mask> appeared as a guest star on the 1960s television series Coronet Blue and also appeared as himself in the film I Wanna Hold Your Hand.He also appeared in the 1975 film That's the Way of the World. Family and death
He was married six times and had three sons, Peter (Altschuler), Jeff and <mask>. His first wife, Anna May, died in childbirth. He was married to his second, Toni, for three years; his third, Beverly, for three months; his fourth, Claire, for about nine years in the 1950s; his fifth, Jackie Hayes (called "Jackie the <mask>"), from January 1960 until September 1978; and finally, his sixth, actress Jackie Zeman for just one year, although they were together for seven years before marrying. <mask> died of cancer a week after his 60th birthday on February 21, 1982. Legacy
He shares writing credit with his mother and Bobby Darin for Darin's breakout song, "Splish Splash". Beginning in 1960, <mask>'s rock 'n' roll shows at the Brooklyn Paramount theater (as co-host with Clay Cole), Manhattan's Academy of Music theater on 14th Street and, predominantly, the Brooklyn Fox theater provided an inter-racial environment in which the performers and the audiences both thrived.The week-long, three-shows-a-day presentations continued throughout the most explosive periods of civil rights unrest in the mid-'60s, culminating in <mask>'s final show at the Brooklyn Fox Theater with a line-up that included The Who and Cream in their American debuts. <mask> was the author of a 1966 book, Murray the K Tells It Like It Is, Baby. <mask> was program director and primetime evening DJ on the nation's first FM rock station WOR-FM, changing the way in which radio listeners heard rock music. During the short run of progressive rock programming – the station switched to an oldies format within the first year – listeners would have been able to hear the full, album versions of songs like Like A Rolling Stone and Society's Child which were either played in shorter versions on AM radio or not played at all. He is mentioned in the 1980 Ramones song "Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?" as well as "Who Will Save Rock 'n' Roll" by the Dictators. He is also mentioned in "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)" by Reunion.A recording of Murray the K introducing the band Devo appears on their live compilation DEVO Live: The Mongoloid Years. Murray the K introduced Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as the band took the stage on November 4, 1976 in New York City. He is mentioned in the episode "My Fair David" of the Eighties' detective show Moonlighting when "Maddie Hayes" (Cybill Shepherd) accuses "David Addison" (Bruce Willis) of giving their employees a bad example because he behaves like "<mask> <mask>". He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1997. Yo La Tengo frontman <mask> DJs under the name "Ira the <mask>" for WFMU Jersey City, New Jersey. Recordings made by <mask>

<mask> (born 26 February 1991) is an Australian professional football player who plays for A-League club Sydney FC and the Australia national team. Born in Canowindra, New South Wales, <mask> played youth football at the Australian Institute of Sport before making his professional debut for Sydney FC in 2008. Club career

In June 2008, <mask> received an invitation to take up a scholarship at the AIS in Canberra where he was selected despite not fitting into the age criteria for the 2008 scholarship program. After impressing during his three months in the nation's capital, he was signed as a member of Sydney FC's inaugural National Youth League squad in September 2008. This team finished as champions for the 2008–09 season. He made 15 appearances for the National Youth League team during the season, scoring one goal. After Sydney FC Youth had clinched the National Youth League minor premiership by winning 13 and drawing two of their 18 regular season games, they progressed to the Grand Final where they met Adelaide United at Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide on 21 February 2009.<mask> played the full 90 minutes as Sydney FC triumphed 2–0. During the National Youth League season, <mask> also managed to earn a call-up to the senior team. On 21 December 2008, <mask> made his senior debut for Sydney FC against Perth Glory at the Sydney Football Stadium, appearing as a 78th-minute substitute for Antony Golec. The game was won 4–1 by Perth Glory. He was an unused substitute as Sydney FC lost 3–2 to Melbourne Victory at the Telstra Dome on 27 December 2008. <mask> then appeared as a 71st-minute substitute for Shannon Cole as Sydney FC lost 2–0 to Adelaide United at the Adelaide Oval on 3 January 2009. On 11 January 2009, <mask> <mask> made his starting debut against Wellington Phoenix at the Sydney Football Stadium, and played the full 90 minutes as Sydney FC won 1–0.He also played a full game in Sydney FC's 3–1 defeat by Queensland Roar at Suncorp Stadium on 17 January 2009, and provided the cross from which Kofi Danning scored in the 25th minute. <mask> <mask> also started Sydney FC's final game of the A-League season, a 4–0 win over the Newcastle Jets at the Sydney Football Stadium on 25 January 2009. He was replaced in the 86th minute by Terry McFlynn. <mask> finished the 2008–09 A-League season with five senior appearances. He wore shirt number 34 in these five matches. He was then given shirt number 23 for the 2009–10 A-League season as he earned a full senior contract. After a successful start to his senior career, <mask> looked to cement a permanent first team spot in the 2009–10 season after impressing early in Sydney's undefeated run of pre-season trials.He ended up playing 9 games, starting 3, and winning his first Premiership. He signed a new two-year contract with Sydney FC on 27 August 2010. <mask> scored his first senior goal for Sydney FC against the Central Coast Mariners in a 1–1 draw during the 2010–11 A-League season. At the end of the 2012–13 season, <mask> was selected to play for the A-League All Star team against Manchester United in Sydney on 20 July 2013. <mask> was substituted onto the field for Michael McGlinchey in the match. <mask>'s 2013–14 campaign ended prematurely in Round 3 at home to the Western Sydney Wanderers. <mask> was contesting a tackle, when his foot was caught in the pitch causing him to rupture his anterior cruciate ligament.The injury required surgery and kept him out for the rest of the season. The following year, <mask>'s long-awaited return from injury came on 22 November 2014 when he was selected on the bench against the newly re-branded Melbourne City FC in Round 7. <mask> was substituted onto the field for Ali Abbas in the 68th minute. For the rest of the season, <mask> was consistently a part of the match-day squads, but mainly used of the bench, starting only a handful of games. The new Sydney FC coach, Graham Arnold, cited the reason for this was largely due to <mask> missing a lot of tactical sessions during pre-season as he was returning from injury. <mask> scored his first goal since coming back from injury in the Round 18 clash of the 2014–15 A-League season against Central Coast Mariners at Allianz Stadium with a 25-yard screamer in which Sydney FC would go on to win 4–2. Days later, <mask> was rewarded for his form after returning from injury with a 2-year contract extension, along with teammate Sebastian Ryall.Prior to <mask>'s injury in 2013, he was mainly deployed as a utility player at the club but Arnold believed he would excel at right fullback and had agreed with <mask> to concentrate on these qualities in the 2015 off-season. <mask> began his transformation as specialized fullback during the 2015–16 A-League season, starting in all matches up until Round 26 as either a right or left back, missing only one game through suspension. The 2016–17 season was another breakout season for <mask>. He played every minute of every match in all competitions of the season, scoring 2 and assisting 5 while mainly playing in the right-back position. He would continue his success by scoring in the 69th minute of the grand final against Melbourne Victory to make it 1–1, where Sydney would eventually win 4–2 on penalties to lift the double. His form throughout the season earned him a call-up to Australian national soccer team 30-man train-on squad for the 2017 Confederations Cup. However, on 30 May 2017, it was announced that he did not make the final 23-man squad.<mask> was also rewarded for his fantastic season by being selected for the 2016–17 PFA Team of the Season. <mask> suffered another anterior cruciate ligament injury in July 2017, keeping him out of the game for several months. The injury was sustained to his left knee this time, whereas the injury in 2013 was his right knee. <mask> was able to return to training by the end of the season and had made himself available for selection for the final game of the regular season. However, ultimately <mask> did not appear in either of Sydney FC's remaining two games of the season. On Saturday, 10 November 2018 <mask> went on to play his 150th appearance in the A-League against Newcastle Jets. One month later on 21 December 2018, he became the first player in Sydney FC history to reach ten years as player at the club.The occasion was marked two days later when he played against Perth Glory, the same team he played in his league debut ten years earlier. He became only the third player to achieve this in A-League history, after Leigh Broxham at Melbourne Victory and Andrew Durante at Wellington Phoenix. <mask>'s early season form was rewarded with a call-up to the national team for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in January. This resulted in him missing seven games for the Sky Blues during a busy January period for the club before returning for the Round 17 match against Melbourne City. <mask> started in all remaining league games and by season's end found himself again selected in the PFA A-League Team of the Season. A minor hamstring concern in the final round of the season against Newcastle Jets could not stop the 28-year-old from participating in the A-League final series, starting in the home semi-final against arch rivals, Melbourne Victory. With Sydney leading the game 5–0, <mask> was substituted off in the 71st minute to save him for the Grand Final.The following weekend, <mask> played in the Grand Final decider against Perth Glory at Optus Stadium. Throughout the game, <mask> had a growing duel with former Socceroo, Jason Davidson which eventually lead to <mask> receiving a yellow card in the 88th minute. Prior to and after this, the crowd of close to 60,000 had rung out a chorus of boos every time <mask> had touched the ball. The effect of the constant taunting resulted in <mask> putting his hand up to take a penalty in the shootout when the match ended nil-all after extra time. He was the third Sydney player to convert his penalty on the way to the club winning the shoot-out 4–1. He scored the winning goal in the 2020 A-League Grand Final, off the chest from inside the six-yard box, in the 100th minute, winning his third Championship as well as his third Premiership as Sydney FC finished top of the table that season also. He won the Joe Marston Medal as man of the match.International career
He was selected for the training squad for Australia's 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup team. <mask> then went on to play in several competitions with the Young Socceroos in the Netherlands, one of which they won. <mask> was chosen as a train on player for Australia's friendly against South Korea in November 2018. For the match against Lebanon he was selected for the squad and made his debut, playing the full match. In December 2018, it was announced that <mask> had made the final 23-man squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. <mask> replaced an injured Josh Risdon at half-time of the first game of the Group Stage against Jordan. He would go on to play the remaining fixtures for Australia, totaling 5 appearances for the campaign, whilst wearing the number 4 jersey previously worn by Socceroo great, Tim Cahill.On September 7, 2021, <mask> scored his first international goal as Socceroos beat Vietnam 1–0 away; he was earlier responsible for a potential handball on the penalty area before getting relief as no penalty was given.

<mask>, 1st Viscount Molesworth PC (Ire) (7 September 1656 – 22 May 1725) was an Anglo-Irish politician and writer. <mask> came of an old Northamptonshire family. He married Hon. Letitia Coote, daughter of Richard Coote, 1st Baron Coote, and Mary St. George. His father <mask> (d. 1656) was a Cromwellian who made a fortune in Dublin, largely by provisioning Cromwell's army; <mask> the younger supported William of Orange and was made William's ambassador to Denmark. In 1695 he became a prominent member of the Privy Council of Ireland. The same year he stood for Dublin County in the Irish House of Commons, a seat he held until 1703.Subsequently, he represented Swords until 1715. In the following year, he was created Viscount <mask>, of Swords, in the Peerage of Ireland. <mask>'s An Account of Denmark, as it was in the Year 1692 (published 1694) was somewhat influential in the burgeoning field of political science in the period. He made a case for comparative political analysis, comparing the political situation of a country to the health of an individual; a disease, he reasoned, can only be diagnosed by comparing it to its instantiation in other people (Thompson, 495). Life and career

<mask> was born on 7 September 1656, four days after the death of his father; his mother Judith Bysse later remarried Sir William Tichborne of Beaulieu. He was probably raised by his mothers' family, the Bysses, at Brackenstown, near Swords, County Dublin. His grandfather, John Bysse, was an eminent lawyer who became Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer under Charles II.In 1675, <mask> graduated from Trinity College, Dublin with a B.A. On 15 August 1676, shortly before his 20th birthday, he was married in Dublin to Letitia Coote, third daughter of Richard Coote (1620–1683), 1st Baron Coote of Colooney, and Mary St. George, daughter of George St. George, Deputy Admiral of Connaught. Letitia's brother Richard was created Earl of Bellomont and served as Governor of New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire for William III from 1697 until his sudden death in 1701. <mask> and Letitia <mask> subsequently settled at the Bysse family seat, Brackenstown House, where according to a letter of 1721 Letitia bore seventeen children, nine of whom were still living at the time. On 7 May 1689, young <mask>, an active supporter of the Williamites, was attainted by King James II's Catholic-dominated Irish Parliament. His estate, valued at £2825 per annum, was duly confiscated. James had succeeded his brother Charles II as king of England, Ireland and Scotland early in 1685.Although initially fearful of alienating English and Irish Protestant opinion, James came under the influence of the Catholic Richard Talbot, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell and determined to make the island of Ireland a Catholic stronghold. Tyrconnell also secured the king's agreement to revise the 1662 Act of Settlement, which had confirmed many of the leading Cromwellian planters in their estates. Over the course of the next two years, war raged across Ireland between the rival armies of James II and the Dutch Protestant, William of Orange, who was invited to take the throne of England by the Parliament in 1688. The decisive victory of the Williamite forces at the battle of the Boyne in 1690, and the battle of Aughrim in 1691, confirmed the new Protestant monarchy and finally secured New English interests in Ireland. The age of the Protestant Ascendancy had begun. <mask>, an ardent Whig, became a prominent figure in the new Williamite administration. Contemporaries acknowledged his opinions on politics and economy with considerable respect.From July 1689 to December 1692 he served as British Ambassador to the Court of Denmark, during which time he wrote a spirited attack on Danish absolutism in a treatise entitled An Account of Denmark as it was in the Year 1692. From 1695 to 1698 he stood as Whig MP in both the English and Irish Parliaments, representing Camelford and Dublin City respectively. In August 1697, he was appointed to the Irish Privy Council, an effective cabinet charged with the governance of Ireland and the introduction of the "Penal Laws". From 1703 to 1715 he represented Swords as MP in the Irish Parliament. Between November 1714 and December 1715 he served in the fruitful post of Commissioner of Trade and Plantations. On 16 July 1716, <mask> was advanced to the Irish peerage as Baron of Phillipstown and Viscount Molesworth of Swords "in reward for his steadfast adherence to the House of Hanover". He took his seat as such on 1 July 1719.In his later years he established the "Molesworth Circle", a group of eminent scientists, philosophers and thinkers who met at Brackenstown and are said to have introduced the spread of "politeness" in 18th century Ireland. Other members of this Whig-minded intellectual circle included Anthony Ashley Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, Francis Hutcheson, James Arbuckle, John Toland and Jonathan Swift. <mask>'s pamphlet Considerations on the Agriculture and Employment of the Poor of Ireland prompted Swift to address the last of his celebrated Drapier's Letters to <mask> in 1724. When the so-called South Sea Bubble burst in 1720, the 1st Viscount was perhaps the most vehement of those seeking vengeance against the company directors. He and his grandson, <mask>, had invested heavily in the company. He advised that, as no law existed for punishing such companies, the government "ought upon this occasion follow the example of the ancient Romans, who, having no law against parricide, because their legislators supposed no son could be so unnaturally wicked as to embrue his hands in his father's blood, made a law to punish this heinous crime as soon as it was committed. They adjudged the guilty wretch to be sewn into a sack and thrown alive into the Tiber".The Whig statesman declared that he would be quite "satisfied to see [the South-Sea Company directors] tied in like manner in sacks, and thrown into the Thames."

<mask>Martin<mask>gen, (1540?, – 11 August 1589) was a noted military commander in the Netherlands. He first served with William of Orange in the fight for Dutch independence from Spain then switched to serve with distinction in the Spanish army. In 1580 he changed his allegiance to the Dutch Republic and was declared Lord of Toutenburg in Gelderland, Knight and Marshall of the Camp by the Dutch States General. He then served on the Protestant side in the Cologne War  with some success until he drowned in the Waal in a failed attack on Nijmegen in 1588. Childhood and early career

Born at Goch in the Duchy of Cleves, as a child he served as a page for <mask>Jsselstein (or Ysselstein), and when he came of age, he joined the banner of William of Orange at the head of twenty–two men at arms, fighting in the Eighty Years' War. By right of descent, he claimed a castle in Bleijenbeek, currently in northern Limburg, which was then a possession of his cousin. Although he took physical possession of the castle, the judiciary supported the cousin, and Schenck was forcibly dispossessed.He became unpopular in William's court and after the crushing defeat in the Battle of Gembloux in 1578, he made overtures to the Spanish, who enlisted him as a soldier in the Army of Flanders. In the wars against the Dutch, he became known, and notorious, as the most daring and formidable Netherlander that wore Philip’s colors. On 15 June 1580, at the , while still in the service of the Spanish, he outgeneralled and defeated Count Philip Hohenlohe, who lost 1500 soldiers, to 300 lost by Schenck. This battle preserved the city of Groningen for Philip. In the course of this campaign, he was captured twice, and held for ransom, and each time he escaped. Reportedly, he could eat, drink and sleep in the saddle, and his men followed him like dogs. Transfer to Dutch service and the Cologne War
Despite his fame, he was dissatisfied, because he felt the Spanish continually treated him with injustice and lack of faith.Lewes Lewknor wrote of <mask>'s dissatisfaction, 'Nothing ever more moved Skinke than the indignity of this dealing; and so telling the duke, that he would be loath, now he had spent all that ever he had in the Kings service, to be accounted a captain of freebooters, took his leave, bending his mind presently to revenge; and forthwith surprising Nuis by stratagem, delivered both the same, and the castle of Lemmicke, and withal, his own person, into the service of the States; of whom he was received with such honour as to a man of such worthiness belonged.' On 25 May 1585, he declared his allegiance to the foundling Dutch Republic, which made him Lieutenant Governor of Gelderland and Marshall of Camp in the Dutch States Army. He received a salary of 1200 guilders a month. He resigned from his claim to the castle of Blynbeek, and he was reimbursed with other estates in Holland and Zeeland, and with 4000 florins. The next month, he and <mask> Nieuwenaar were defeated by the Spanish general Juan Baptista de Tassis at the Battle of Amerongen on 23 June 1585. By spring the following year, he had adopted the cause of Gebhard Truchsess von Waldburg in his quest to keep the Electorate of Cologne, also called the Cologne War. Sack of Westphalia

In March 1586, accompanied by Hermann Friedrich Cloedt, the commander of the fortified town of Neuss, <mask> went to the County of Westphalia at the head of 500 foot and 500 horse.After plundering Vest and Recklinghausen, on 18 March he captured Werl through trickery. He loaded a train of wagons with his soldiers and covered them with salt. When the wagons of salt were seen outside the city gates, they were at once admitted, salt being a valued commodity. The "salted soldiers" then over–powered the guard and captured the town. Some of the defenders escaped to the Werl citadel, which <mask> and his troops stormed in vain. When they could not capture the citadel, they thoroughly sacked the city. Count Claude de Berlaymont, also known as Haultpenne, collected his force of 4000 and besieged Schenck in Werl.<mask> and Cloedt were thus attacked from the outside, and from the several hundred guards in the Werl citadel. They loaded their wagons, this time with booty, took 30 magistrates as hostages, and attacked Haultpenne's force, killing about 500 of them, and losing 200 of their own. After fighting their way through Haultpenne's force, Cloedt returned to Neuss and Schenck to Venlo on the Neuss river, where Schenck left his fortune and his wife, while he journeyed to Delft. There, Robert Dudley knighted him by order of Elizabeth, and presented him with a chain valued at a thousand gold pieces. <mask> had hardly returned from Delft when Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma laid siege to Venlo. At night, <mask> and Roger Williams, a Welshman in Dutch service, took 130 English lancers and 30 of his own men. They passed through enemy lines, killed the guards and several of the soldiers, and reached the door of the Duke of Parma's tent, where they killed Parma's secretary and his personal guard.Afterward, <mask> and Williams made their way to Wachtendonk and Rheinberg, where he built a fortress,  called Schenckenschanz, or Schenck's Fortification, at the confluence of the Waal and the Rhine. Williams and Schenck also reportedly took the castle of Kaisersworth in June 1586. The following summer, he and his men surprised the Spanish guard at the city of Bonn in the Electorate of Cologne, took the city, fortified it, and supplied it with food, but the Elector Gebhard von Waldburg, whose capital city this was, could not keep it, and after a six months' siege, it was retaken by the Spanish. Assault on Nijmegen and death
By 1588, only Rheinberg remained outside the Spanish grasp, and in an effort to salvage the last major garrison in the electorate of Cologne for Gebhard Truchsess von Waldburg,  Schenck intercepted and defeated seven companies of foot marching to Friesland, to reinforce Francisco Verdugo. On the evening of 10 August, he and 20 barges of men made their way down the Waal to Nijmegen, where they planned to enter the city through windows overlooking the river. The swollen river pushed more than half the barges past their destination; the house they chose to enter was the site of a wedding party, and the alarm was raised. The city's garrison and citizens turned out to fight off the marauders, and <mask> and his men were driven back.In an effort to escape, he jumped into the river, and drowned. His body was found a few days later; it was decapitated, his head placed on a pike, his body quartered, and exhibited at four gates. Citations

<mask>  (born March 13, 1948, in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine-Canadian anthologist, translator, essayist, novelist, editor, and a former Director of the National Library of Argentina. He is the author of numerous non-fiction books such as The Dictionary of Imaginary Places (co-written with Gianni Guadalupi in 1980), A History of Reading (1996), The Library at Night (2007) and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey: A Biography (2008); and novels such as News From a Foreign Country Came (1991). Though almost all of Manguel's books were written in English, two of his novels (El regreso and Todos los hombres son mentirosos) were written in Spanish, and El regreso has not yet been published in English. Manguel has also written film criticism such as Bride of Frankenstein (1997) and collections of essays such as Into the Looking Glass Wood (1998). In 2007, Manguel was selected to be that year's annual lecturer for the prestigious Massey Lectures. in 2021,  he gave the Roger Lancelyn Green lecture to the Lewis Carroll Society on his love of the 'Alice' stories from Lewis Carroll. For more than twenty years, Manguel has edited a number of literary anthologies on a variety of themes or genres ranging from erotica and gay stories to fantastic literature and mysteries.Career
Manguel was born to Pablo and Rosalia <mask>, both Jewish. He spent his first years in Israel where his father Pablo was the Argentine ambassador, returning to his native country at the age of seven. Later, in Buenos Aires, when Manguel was still a teenager, he met the writer Jorge Luis Borges, a customer of the Pygmalion Anglo-German bookshop in Buenos Aires where Manguel worked after school. As Borges was almost blind, he would ask others to read out loud for him, and Manguel became one of Borges' readers, several times a week from 1964 to 1968. In Buenos Aires, Manguel attended the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires from 1961 to 1966; among his teachers were notable Argentinian intellectuals such as the historian <mask>, the Cervantes scholar Isaias Lerner and the literary critic Enrique Pezzoni. Manguel did one year (1967) at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Filosofía y Letras, but he abandoned his studies and started working at the recently founded Editorial Galerna of Guillermo Schavelzon (who thirty-five years later, now established in Barcelona, was to become Manguel's literary agent). In 1969 Manguel travelled to Europe and worked as a reader for various publishing companies: Denoël, Gallimard and Les Lettres Nouvelles in Paris, and Calder & Boyars in London.1970s
In 1971, <mask>, living then in Paris and London, was awarded the Premio La Nación (Buenos Aires) for a collection of short stories. The prize was shared with the writer Bernardo Schiavetta. In 1972 <mask>ci publishing company in Milan. Here he met Gianni Guadalupi and later, at Guadalupi's suggestion, wrote with him The Dictionary of Imaginary Places. The book is a travel guide to fantasy lands, islands, cities, and other locations from world literature, including Ruritania, Shangri-La, Xanadu, Atlantis, L. Frank Baum's Oz, Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, Thomas More's Utopia, Edwin Abbott's Flatland, C. S. Lewis' Narnia, and the realms of Francois Rabelais, Jonathan Swift, and J.R.R. Tolkien.In 1976, Manguel moved to Tahiti, where he worked as editor for Les Éditions du Pacifique until 1977. He then worked for the same company in Paris for one year. In 1978 Manguel settled in Milford, Surrey (England) and set up the short-lived Ram Publishing Company. In 1979, Manguel returned to Tahiti to work again for Les Éditions du Pacifique, this time until 1982. 1980s–1990s

In 1982 Manguel moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada and lived there (with a brief European period) until 2000. He has been a Canadian citizen ever since. Here Manguel contributed regularly to The Globe and Mail (Toronto), The Times Literary Supplement (London), The Village Voice (New York), The Washington Post, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian Review of Books, The New York Times and Svenska Dagbladet (Stockholm), and reviewed books and plays for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.Manguel's early impression of Canada was that it was "...like one of those places whose existence we assume because of a name on a sign above a platform, glimpsed at as our train stops and then rushes on." (from Passages: Welcome Home to Canada (2002), with preface by Rudyard Griffiths). As well, though, Manguel noted that "When I arrived in Canada, for the first time I felt I was living in a place where I could participate actively as a writer in the running of the state." In 1983, he selected the stories for what is perhaps his best-known anthology Black Water: The Book of Fantastic Literature. His first novel, "News From a Foreign Country Came", won the McKitterick Prize in 1992. In 1997, Manguel translated into English The Anatomist, first novel of the Argentine writer Federico Andahazi. He was appointed as the Distinguished Visiting Writer in the Markin-Flanagan Distinguished Writers Program at the University of Calgary from 1997 to 1999.Manguel was the Opening Lecturer at the "Exile & Migration" Congress, Boston University, in June 1999, and the Times Literary Supplement lecturer in 1997. 2000s

In 2000, Manguel moved to the Poitou-Charentes region of France, where he and his partner purchased and renovated a medieval presbytery. Among the renovations was an oak-panelled library to house Manguel's nearly 40,000 books. In September 2020, the collection was donated to the Centre for Research in the History of Reading in Lisbon, Portugal with Manguel as its head. Manguel held the Cátedra Cortázar at the Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico, in 2007 and the S. Fischer Chair at the Freie Universität Berlin, in 2003. In 2007, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Liège. Manguel delivered the 2007 Massey Lectures which were later published as The City of Words and in the same year delivered the Northrop Frye-Antonine Maillet Lecture in Moncton, New Brunswick.He was the Pratt Lecturer at Memorial University of Newfoundland, in 2003. In 2008, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris honoured <mask> as part of its 30th Anniversary Celebrations, by inviting him to set up a three-month long program of lectures, film and round tables. He writes a regular column for  Geist magazine. <mask>'s book History of Reading was referenced as a source of inspiration to the Book of Sand film. He suffered a stroke in December 2013, and reflected on the experience in a 2014 op-ed in The New York Times. In December 2015 he was named director of the National Library in his native Argentina, replacing Horacio González. Manguel held the post from July 2016 to August 2018.Personal life
He was married to Pauline Ann Brewer from 1975 to 1986, and their children are Alice Emily, Rachel Claire, and Rupert Tobias. Upon divorcing Brewer in 1987, Manguel began seeing his current partner Craig Stephenson. Bibliography
