<mask> (born <mask>, February 11, 1954 in Port Washington, New York) is an American guitarist and songwriter. <mask> is known for his work as a session guitarist during the last 4 decades. He founded the rock group TRW in 2007. Early years
<mask> grew up in Port Washington, New York and attended Berklee College of Music for two years, studying with Pat Metheny before leaving to tour and record with a local R&B/funk group called The Ellis Hall Group. After four years with the group, <mask> moved to Los Angeles in the hopes of starting a career as a studio musician, almost immediately getting a touring gig with Joe Cocker. Money was tight and to support himself and his wife Gloria, <mask> supplemented gigs playing on songwriters' publishing demos and sporadic session work with a job as a cab driver until landing a year-long world tour with Cher. Following the tour, <mask> played guitar for the TV series Fame, a gig he would hold for four years, and started his own band, Slang.In 1983 he was invited by Andy Fraser, formerly of Free, to be the guitarist on his album Fine Fine Line, for Island Records (1984). The <mask> Band
In 1988, <mask> finally landed a record deal for an album of his own, with Geffen Records. The eponymous Michael <mask> Band (also known by its initial logo, MTB), featuring lead vocals by Moon Calhoun, released the album How Long in 1989 and had a Billboard chart hit that year with the single "Can't Miss". The single hit #33 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Other musicians on the album included Toto singer Bobby Kimball and ex-Kansas singer John Elefante on background vocals and John Keane, Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa and Missing Persons) and Pat Torpey (Mr. Big) on drums. Later work
<mask> played on the eponymous debut album by the commercial fusion act Animal Logic, the brainchild of Police drummer Stewart Copeland and bassist Stanley Clarke. <mask> shared guitar duties with Peter Haycock (Climax Blues Band) and Steve Howe (Yes, Asia, GTR).Clarke and Copeland both went on to successful careers composing film scores for which they continued to tap <mask> for guitar work, and he has also worked on film scores by Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard and Randy Edelman. Just as <mask>'s session career was hitting its stride, 1980s studio guitar staple Dann Huff left L.A. for Nashville and put out the word that producers and contractors who wanted him should instead call <mask>. Thanks to the studio engineer Humberto Gatica's suggestion, <mask> began what would become a decade-long hit-laden association with producer/songwriter David Foster, including a number of Celine Dion records, beginning with "The Power of Love". It was during another Dion session for Foster in 1995 that R&B singer/songwriter/producer Babyface heard him through the wall of the studio and invited him to play on the project he was there for, the #1 Waiting to Exhale: Original Soundtrack Album for Whitney Houston. Babyface, too, would frequently use <mask> throughout the 1990s, including on the huge hit "Change the World" with Eric Clapton and Babyface's own hit single, "Every Time I Close My Eyes". <mask> was in Babyface's live band for the MTV special, album and DVD Babyface: MTV Unplugged NYC 1997. Quincy Jones invited <mask> to be a guest on his 1995 album Q's Jook Joint.The following year <mask> released his first solo album, The World According to M.T. The album featured compositions by <mask>; a collaboration with Jeff Paris, who had guested on How Long; and a song written by another How Long collaborator, Mark Spiro. A cover of a Sam Cooke song, "A Change is Gonna Come", featuring Bobby Womack on vocals, peaked at #2 on the Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles. <mask>'s abilities and sensibilities are so trusted that BT magazine noted in its 2001 "Platinum Touch" cover story on <mask> that "These days, many artists and producers just drop their tapes off at <mask>'s home studio and let him add whatever he wants. It is a convenient, low-pressure way to work, but <mask> says he still loves to interact with other musicians at the big studios." In 2001 <mask> was awarded the "Distinguished Alumni" award from his alma mater Berklee College of Music to commemorate his contributions to the music industry. Berklee's program for the event noted that "he is widely regarded as being among the elite studio session players, and his list of credits includes such prominent names as <mask>, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, 'N Sync, Toni Braxton, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Joe Sample, the Scorpions, Vince Neil, Christina Aguilera, <mask>, Thalía, Mariah Carey, Bette Midler, Madonna, BabyFace, En Vogue, Gloria Estefan, Stanley Clarke, and Ricky Martin."Robert John "Mutt" Lange worked with <mask> on Shania Twain's album Up! (2003). Here Mutt and Twain flew down to Milano to collaborate, as <mask> was working on recording with an Italian artist at the time. According to <mask> he first played on 7 tracks in Italy, and later Mutt asked him to come to Hawaii to play on most of the remaining tracks as well. In 2007, <mask> revisited his late-1980s melodic rock heyday with two projects. He recorded three new songs for a remastered re-release of <mask> Band's How Long, released in the summer of that year. He also formed a new band, TRW, with Mark Williamson on vocals and bass and John Robinson on drums.The group released the album Rivers of Paradise (2007). Discography

<mask> (1715–1804) was an English scholar and mythographer, who has been described as "the outstanding figure among the mythagogues who flourished in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries." <mask> was born at Plymouth. His father worked in the customs there, but was afterwards moved to Chatham. <mask> was first sent to a school near Rochester, and then to Eton College. In 1736 he was elected to a scholarship at King's College, Cambridge, where he took his degrees of B.A. (1740) and M.A. (1744), later being elected a fellow.He returned to Eton as private tutor to the Duke of Marlborough. In 1756 he accompanied the duke, who was master-general of ordnance and commander-in-chief of the forces in Germany, to the Continent as private secretary. He was rewarded by a lucrative appointment in the Board of Ordnance, which allowed him time to indulge his literary tastes. He was twice offered the mastership of Charterhouse school, but turned it down. <mask> died on 14 November 1804 at Cippenham near Windsor. He left his library to King's College, having previously made some valuable presents from it to the king and the Duke of Marlborough. He bequeathed £2000 to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and £1000 for the use of the retired collegers of Eton.Works
His chief works were A New System or Analysis of Ancient Mythology (1774–76, and later editions), Observations on the Plain of Troy (1795), and Dissertation concerning the Wars of Troy (1796). He also wrote on theological, political and literary subjects. Mythographer
<mask> saw all mythology as derived from the Hebrew Scriptures, with Greek mythology arising via the Egyptians. The New System attempted to link the mythologies of the world to the stories recorded in Genesis. <mask> argued that the descendants of Ham had been the most energetic, but also the most rebellious peoples of the world and had given rise to the great ancient and classical civilisations. He called these people "Amonians", because he believed that the Egyptian god Amon was a deified form of Ham. He argued that Ham had been identified with the sun, and that much of pagan European religion derived from Amonian sun worship.John Richardson was <mask>'s chief opponent, in the preface to his Persian Dictionary. In an anonymous pamphlet, An Apology, <mask> defended and reaffirmed his opinions. Richardson then revised the dissertation on languages prefixed to the dictionary, and added a second part: Further Remarks on the New Analysis of Ancient Mythology (1778). <mask> also wrote a pamphlet in answer to Daniel Wyttenbach of Amsterdam, about the same time. Sir William Jones frequently mentions <mask>'s model, accepting parts of it and criticising others, particularly his highly conjectural etymologies. He referred to the New System as "a profound and agreeable work", adding that he had read it through three times "with increased attention and pleasure, though not with perfect acquiescence in some other less important parts of his plausible system". <mask> in the New System acknowledges help from William Barford.His theories are widely credited as an influence on the mythological system of William Blake, who had worked in his capacity as an engraver on the illustrations to <mask>'s New System. Classical scholar
In his books on Troy, <mask> endeavoured to show that the existence of Troy and the Greek expedition were purely mythological, with no basis in real history. In 1791, Andrew Dalzel translated a work of Jean Baptiste LeChevalier as Description of the Plain of Troy. It provoked <mask>'s Observations upon a Treatise ... (on) the Plain of Troy (1795) and A Dissertation concerning the War of Troy (1796?). A fierce controversy resulted, with <mask> attacked by Thomas Falconer, John Morritt, William Vincent, and Gilbert Wakefield. Other works
<mask>'s first work was Observations and Enquiries relating to various parts of Ancient History, ... the Wind Euroclydon, the island Melite, the Shepherd Kings, (Cambridge, 1767). <mask> attacked the opinions of Bochart, Beza, Grotius, and Bentley.When his account of the Apamean medal was disputed in the Gentleman's Magazine, <mask> defended himself in Apamean Medal and of the Inscription ΝΩΕ, London, 1775. Joseph Hilarius Eckhel upheld his views, but Daines Barrington and others opposed him in the Society of Antiquaries of London. After his friend Robert Wood died in 1771, <mask> edited one of his works as An Essay on the Original Genius and Writings of Homer, with a Comparative View of the Troade (1775). Vindiciæ Flavianæ: a Vindication of the Testimony of Josephus concerning Jesus Christ (1777) was anonymous; the second edition, with <mask>'s name, was in 1780. The sequel was A Farther Illustration of the Analysis (1778). This work influenced Joseph Priestley. An Address to Dr. Priestley ... upon Philosophical Necessity (1780); Priestley printed a reply the same year.<mask> was a believer in the authenticity of Thomas Chatterton's fabrications. Chatterton had created poems written in mock Middle English and had attributed them to Thomas Rowley, an imaginary monk of the 15th century. When Thomas Tyrwhitt issued his work The Poems supposed to have been written at Bristol by Thomas Rowley and others,' <mask> with Robert Glynn followed with his Observations on the Poems of Thomas Rowley in which the Authenticity of those Poems is ascertained (2 vols., 1781). Gemmarum Antiquarum Delectus (1783) was privately printed at the expense of the Duke of Marlborough, with engravings by Francesco Bartolozzi. The first volume was written in Latin by <mask>, and translated into French by Matthew Maty; the second by William Cole, with the French by Louis Dutens. On the Zingara or Gypsey Language (1785) was read by <mask> to the Royal Society, and printed in the seventh volume of Archæologia. A disquisition On the Land of Goshen, written about 1767, was published in William Bowyer's Miscellaneous Tracts, 1785.A Treatise on the Authenticity of the Scriptures (1791) was anonymous; second edition, with author's name, 1793; third edition, 1810. This work was written at the instigation of the Dowager Countess Pembroke, daughter of his patron, and the profits were given to the hospital for smallpox and inoculation. Observations on a controverted passage in Justyn Martyr; also upon the "Worship of Angels", London, 1793. Observations upon the Plagues inflicted upon the Egyptians, with maps, London, 1794. The Sentiments of Philo-Judæus concerning the Logos or Word of God (1797). A treatise against Tom Paine. 'Observations upon some Passages in Scripture' (relating to Balaam, Joshua, Samson, and Jonah), London, 1803.A projected work on the Gods of Greece and Rome was not produced by his executors. Some of his humorous verse in Latin and Greek was published. References

<mask> (21 October 1924 – 16 September 2013), born Ong Boon Hua, was a Malayan communist politician, anti-fascist activist and long-time leader of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) and the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA). During World War II, he fought as an anti-fascist guerrilla fighter in the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army against the Japanese occupation of Malaya. A determined anti-colonialist, he led the party's guerrilla insurgency in the Malayan Emergency (19481960), fighting against British and Commonwealth forces in an attempt to establish an independent socialist state. After the MCP's defeat and subsequent Malayan independence, <mask> waged a second campaign (1968-1989) from exile against the newly formed government of Malaysia in an attempt to replace its government with a socialist one. This second insurgency came to an end with the Peace Agreement of Hat Yai 1989. <mask> died at the age of 88, in Bangkok, Thailand, where he was cremated according to Buddhist rites. Biography

Early years

<mask> was born Ong Boon Hua on 21 October 1924 into a middle-class family in the small seaside town of Sitiawan, in Perak state, Malaya.His ancestral home is Fuqing, Fujian, China. His father went to live in Sitiawan in 1920. He set up a bicycle, tire, and spare motor parts business with the help of a relative from Singapore, known as Ong Lock Cho. <mask> attended a Chinese language school in Sitiawan. In 1937 he joined the Chinese Anti Enemy Backing Up Society (AEBUS), formed that year to send aid to China in response to Japan's aggression. According to <mask> and Hack, he was not a communist then. He was in charge of anti-Japanese activities at his school, and was reportedly a supporter of Sun Yat-sen. By early 1939, he had embraced Communism.He planned to go to Yan'an, the renowned communist base in China but was persuaded to remain in Malaya and take on heavier responsibilities in the newly formed Malayan Communist Party. In late 1939, when <mask>g was in the 4th year of his secondary school education (known as senior middle-level one), his school announced that the senior middle section was to be closed due to lack of funds. He decided to continue his education in the Methodist-run Anglo-Chinese Continuation School, which operated in English, because it provided a good cover for his underground activities. He did not want to have to move to Singapore to continue with his education in Chinese. He left the school "for fear of British harassment" after just 6 months. He was now focused fully on his political activities and became, from that point on, a full-time revolutionary. In January 1940 he was put in charge of three anti-Japanese organisations that were targeting students, teachers, members of cultural activities, and general labourers.At the end of January 1940, he was admitted to the Malayan Communist Party as a member. Harassment by the authorities led him to leave his home town for Kuala Kangsar in July 1940. (This may be at the time when he left his school, refer to above). Later he spent a month in Taiping. In September 1940 the party posted him to Ipoh as a  Standing committee member for Perak. In December he attained full Party membership. In early 1941 AEBUS was dissolved.<mask> became Ipoh District committee member of the Party. "He led student underground cells of three Chinese secondary schools and the Party's organisations of the shop assistants, domestic servants of European families, workers at brick kilns and barbers." In June 1941 he became a member of the Perak State Committee. Rise to prominence

<mask> rose to prominence during World War II when many Chinese Malayans took to the jungle to fight a guerrilla war against the Japanese. These fighters, inspired by the example of the Communist Party of China, became known as the Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA). <mask> became the liaison officer between the MPAJA and the British military in South-East Asia. The Japanese invasion of Malaya began in December 1941.In 1942 <mask> was the youngest of three members of the Secretariat of the Perak State Committee: Su Yew Meng was secretary and Chang Meng <mask>  was the other member. In early 1943 the two senior members were captured by the Japanese, which left <mask> in charge. Contact with the Party's Central Committee had been lost; he attempted to re-establish it, travelling to Kuala Lumpur and meeting Chai Ker Meng. Later, party leader Lai Tek sent another Central Committee member, Lee Siow <mask> (Siao Ping), to replace <mask> as State Secretary. However, Lee Siow <mask> was captured not long after while travelling to a meeting that was to be held in Singapore. Thus the job of establishing contact with the British commando Force 136 fell to <mask>. The first party of that force, consisting of Capt.John Davis and five Chinese agents had landed in Malaya on 24 May 1943, by submarine. <mask> made contact with this armed group on 30 September 1943. He was active in his support for the British stay-behind troops but had no illusions about their failure to protect Malaya against the Japanese. In the course of this activity, he came into contact with Freddie Spencer Chapman, who called him a 'true friend' in his Malayan jungle memoir, 'The Jungle Is Neutral'. In recognition of his service during the war, <mask> was awarded an OBE (though it was subsequently withdrawn later by the British government), a mention in despatches and two campaign medals by Britain. He was elected the Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Malaya after the betrayal of previous leader Lai Tek, who had turned out to be an agent for both the British and the Japanese and had denounced the leadership of the Party to the Japanese secret police. <mask> was the most senior surviving member.Before the Emergency

In 1948, the Federation of Malaya Plan replaced the Malayan Union plan, frustrating the CPM as they felt the plan was undemocratic and biased towards the Malay elites. They accused the British of forcing the Federation idea on the people by portraying it as a constitutional solution to Malaya's crisis. According to <mask>, the central committee still adhered to Lai Teck's peace struggle strategy in facing the Federation, as they thought that the people of Malaya were still recovering from the horrors of the Japanese Occupation. To launch an armed rebellion so soon would not only cause them to lose the mass support they had been enjoying but, at the same time, also drive the already wary Malays to openly resist them. Some scholars allege that the CPM received secret directives from Moscow agents on the methods and timing for a near-simultaneous uprising against colonial authorities during the Southeast Asian Youth Conference held in Calcutta on 19 February 1948 which eventually caused the CPM's insurrection. <mask> denied it, stating that the conference argued against such a move. Laurence Sharkey, party secretary of the Australian Communist Party, informed <mask> and the central committee of the conference's decision while stopping over in Singapore on his way home.In March 1948, the central committees were discussing new policies as the labour strikes were not bringing the results that they hoped for. <mask>g estimated it would be a year or two before the British took actions against the CPM, leaving them ample time to prepare for a guerrilla war. On 12 June 1948, the colonial government outlawed the burgeoning trade union federations amid a rising atmosphere of tension. Since then, there was no reduction in the level of violent activities, other than the neutralisation of trade unions. Political murders of informers, anyone found to be working against the labour movement or the CPM, non-Europeans considered enemies to the communist cause or strike-breakers who used thugs and gangsters to harass protesters rose. The murder of three Kuomintang leaders in Johor on 12 June had convinced the British that the communists were escalating the conflict in retaliation for outlawing the trade unions, while in the CPM's eyes these murders were just purely acts of intimidation. <mask> again claimed that he was not aware of the murders at the time, although he approved of the later killing of the plantation managers who he claimed were harsh and cruel towards farmworkers.The Emergency (1948–1989)

On 16 June 1948, three European plantation managers were murdered in Sungai Siput, which has generally been identified as the incident contributing to the Malayan colonial administration declaration of a state of emergency. Rather, Sze-Chieh Ng argued these murders were merely the final catalyst for a long-brewing crisis that had been going on since the trade unions began agitating in 1945. Historian Anthony Short feels that this was more of a panic reaction than a carefully considered move. According to him, the government had been powerless to deal with the unrest plaguing Malaya since 1945. According to Purcell's viewpoint, the Emergency was declared in response to increasing incidents of violence and lawlessness. Many Singaporean historians and anti-communists allege that <mask>g ordered the killings. <mask> claimed he had no prior knowledge of the plot.He added that he barely escaped arrest, losing his passport in the process, and he lost touch with the Party for a couple of days. <mask> became the most wanted man of the British government, with the government offering a reward of $250,000 for his capture. On 17 July 1948, CPM offices in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Singapore, and other major cities were raided, followed by mass arrests of suspected communists and anti-government individuals on 21 July. The CPM was banned in July 1948. In response to the Emergency and the mass arrests of its members, the CPM issued a call to its members to revive its disbanded wartime resistance army, the MPAJA, to take up arms again and escape to the jungles. In fact, since late May and early June the communists had been secretly setting up platoons in several states in preparation for an expected British crackdown in September. The Emergency's sudden declaration in June, however, forced the MCP to accelerate its plan and it called out to comrades and volunteers to join them in the struggle.The new guerrilla army, now known as the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA), spent the first year of the Emergency reconsolidating and rearming. At that time, the CPM was in chaos, which the members were dispersed in the jungles, and operating without a command structure and central leadership. According to <mask>, attacks were being carried out without his approval or knowledge and there was no coordination between the units. Guerrilla casualties were high in return for little to no strategic gains in those early months. <mask> was desperate to assert control over the MNLA, which had been operating independently since June. It was not until August that some form of central authority was finally set up in the Cameron Highlands, with <mask> ordering the guerrillas to adopt Mao Zedong's strategy of establishing liberated zones as they drove the British from an area. However, this strategy failed.British forces continued to hound the guerrillas, who were often forced to relocate deeper into the jungles and disperse their forces into smaller units. This was due to difficulties in resupply and the dangers of maintaining a large force, where the chances of discovery and annihilation by British patrols were high. Furthermore, the CPM was losing civilian support, and lacking material assistance and intelligence, the party suffered. <mask> admitted they had wrongly assumed that the people would be willing to offer their support as they had in World War II. When that failed to happen, they resorted to forceful measures to obtain what they needed. The CPM and MNLA also suffered under British propaganda, which labelled them as "bandits" and "communist terrorists". Old suspicions and assumptions that the CPM had clandestine support from either the CCP or the Soviet Union had, over time, became an accepted fact.Post-Cold War materials have finally overturned the convenient lie the British promoted more than half a century ago, revealing not only that the CPM had not sought external support but also that no agents from either China or Russia had even made contact with them. The only ‘support’ <mask> recalled obtaining was the encouraging news that Mao's guerrillas had defeated Chiang Kai-shek's well-equipped and numerically superior KMT army in 1949. Briggs Plan
In 1950, a series of strategies were introduced by the Director of Operations for the anti-communist war in Malaya, Lt. General Sir Harold Briggs, that later became known as the Briggs Plan. The plan, which aimed to defeat the guerrillas by cutting off their sources of civilian support, was a success. The creation of ‘New Villages’ under this plan had limited intelligence and food supplies for the CPM, and thus had a devastating effect on the guerrillas. <mask> concurred this fact, as he nearly starved on several occasions during those twelve years. After several reviews and amendments, the CPM ordered the guerrillas to cease sabotage and terror operations and to develop closer ties with the middle-class to preserve their organizational strength.<mask> would later admit in an interview in 1999 that this directive was a mistake as it allowed the British to press on with their attacks on the MNLA, whom they correctly assessed to be quite demoralised by then. After Sir Harold Briggs died, Lt. General Sir Gerald Templer was appointed as the new commander, introducing aggressive strategies which differed from the Briggs Plan. These included interrogations, food rationing, large monetary rewards for captured or killed communists coupled with intense military operations, and the mobilisation of a large number of troops to hound the guerrillas. In 1953, the CPM relocated their headquarters to Betong, in southern Thailand. They reestablished its networks to connect the scattered units and review its strategy. In late 1953 and early 1954, the war was at a semi-stalemate due to both the MNLA and the British being unable to decisively defeat one another. In early 1954, Siao Chang, a top CPM leader who had been sent to Beijing in late 1952 to deepen his Marxist–Leninist education while also serving as liaison to the CCP, announced a new direction for the party, which was to abandon the establishment of the People's Democratic Republic of Malaya and join with other Malayan political parties in a legal fight for Malaya independence.<mask> described Siao as the CPM's ‘insurance policy’ in the event the central committee was eliminated. Although this was not their decision, <mask> and the other central committees decided to join the other Malayan parties, reasoning that the Malay politicians had achieved more for the independence movement within the last few years than the MNLA had since 1948. The Beijing announcement also revealed to the CPM that both the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China had viewed the armed struggle in Malaya as untenable. Baling Talks
On 24 September 1955, <mask> wrote to Tunku Abdul Rahman offering to negotiate peace. On 17 October, talks between two government representatives and <mask>g and another central committee of the CPM were held at Klian Intan. A new ‘Eight Point Program’ was introduced by the CPM to call for an end to the Emergency and a cessation of hostilities, a reform of Malaya's political system, expand democratic rights, support for world peace, and attention to other matters including education, health, welfare, and industrial production. On 28 and 29 December 1955, the negotiations reached their peak at the small northern town of Baling in Kedah.Representatives from the Government were Tunku Abdul Rahman, David Marshall, the Chief Minister of Singapore, and Sir Cheng Lock Tan, the leader of the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA). The CPM was represented by <mask>, Chen Tian, and Abdul Rashid bin Maidin. The first day of the talks did not go well, as <mask> wanted the CPM to be recognised as a legal party again, or for the leaders and members of the MNLA to at least be allowed to regain their freedom of movement and not face any legal persecution or imprisonment. Tunku Abdul Rahman rejected this request and demanded at the beginning of the meeting that the CPM fully surrender as the only way to peace, but then promised that those who surrendered would undergo a period of rehabilitation before being allowed to become free citizens again. <mask> again argued freedom of thought and choice must be recognised by the Malayan government if the new nation was to survive past its

 independence, as the people should have the right to decide which political path the nation should take rather than having that choice be decided by a select few in the government. Tunku Abdul Rahman rejected this as well and only promised freedom for the CPM members to join any existing political party after being cleared by the authorities. On the second day of talks, <mask> asserted that the CPM would cease its hostilities and lay down its arms if the Alliance government could obtain the powers of internal security and defence from the British government.Tunku Abdul Rahman accepted it as a challenge and promised that he would push for it on his upcoming trip to London. Great publicity was given in the media to this dramatic challenge from <mask>g. The challenge, indeed, served to strengthen the Alliance government's bargaining position at the London talks. Anxious to end the Emergency, the British government agreed to concede those powers of internal security and defence and to accede to the demand for independence for Malaya by 31 August 1957, if possible. <mask> claimed it was his challenge to Tunku Abdul Rahman that hastened the independence of Malaya. Tunku Abdul Rahman had acknowledged the importance of the Baling talks, writing in 1974 that "Baling had led straight to Merdeka (Independence)." Regardless, the talks themselves ended without a consensus between the two sides.The talks finally collapsed but were regarded as both a success and failure for Tunku Abdul Rahman, as the talks made the British regard him as a strong leader who was tough on communism. His performance had also impressed the Colonial Office enough to grant Malaya independence. For the CPM, it was a very demoralising affair that nearly destroyed their already ailing struggle. The failure of the Baling Talks had a great negative impact on the CPM, accumulated with the loss of hope to either end the war or achieve the advancement of their ideology. Due to the mounting combat casualties plus the lack of stable food supplies, the members started to turn themselves into the government in return for financial rewards and pardons. In 1956, <mask> wrote to Tunku Abdul Rahman offering to resume negotiations. This was rejected by Rahman in a broadcast on 2 April.The MNLA would lose almost 88% of its men, from an approximately 3000-strong army when they first raised arms in mid-1948 to no more than 350 men by late 1958 due to casualties and surrenders. In 1959, the central committees of CPM decided to demobilise their activities and to have the guerrillas reintegrate into society while continuing to promote their communist ideals until such a time when they could once again rise up in revolt. <mask> then moved to south Thailand with the remnants of his forces during the latter part of the Emergency due to pressure from the Malayan security forces, which by 1952 totalled over 32,000 regular troops in Malaya, about three-fifths of whom were Europeans from the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. The Second Insurgency (1968-1989)
In 1961, members of the CPM central committee such as <mask>, Chen Tien, and Lee An Tung moved to Beijing to seek political advice and guidance from the more experienced Chinese Communist Party. <mask> would, however, remain in Beijing for the next 29 years and the party would not lay down its arms until 1989. The reasons for this reversal of the party's decision to disband, according to <mask>, was the advice given to him by the Vietnamese communist leaders in Hanoi, the opening of the second ‘Vietnam War’, which was followed by China's Cultural Revolution, all of which stressed a strong militant line to be taken by Asian communist parties. While in Beijing, <mask> was also advised by Deng Xiaoping, to continue the armed struggle in Malaya as Deng felt the time was ripe for revolutions to take place in Southeast Asia.Deng insisted that the military struggle should not only be maintained but stepped up. Deng even promised financial support to the CPM if they should take up arms once again. Deng offered to remain a secret as the CCP did not wish to let it be known that they had been actively supporting Southeast Asia's communist movements. <mask> reluctantly decided to acquiesce to Deng's suggestion. This was also the first time that the CPM had accepted foreign assistance in its struggle and it was with this financial backing that the second armed struggle in Malaya would be launched in 1968. Meanwhile, back in Malaya, the Malayan government had declared the Emergency over on 31 July 1960 once they became confident the MNLA had ceased to be a credible threat, with the surviving guerrillas retreating to their sanctuary in southern Thailand. However, the insurgency continued with the insurgents increasing their attacks, ambushing military convoys, bombing national monuments, and assassinations of marked police officers and political ‘enemy targets’.The insurgency, which began as a war against the British colonialists, was now transformed into a war against ‘federalists, compressors capitalists and lackeys of British imperialism’. The Malayan government maintained a high-security alert by devoting one-third of its national budget to defence and internal security needs and requested British, Australian and New Zealand troops to remain in the country until its internal security and national armed forces could be built up and the foreign troops gradually phased out. In 1970, the CPM's guerrilla bases in Thailand were hard hit by the trials and executions of supposed spies. Two breakaway factions were formed which condemned the purge. <mask>, who was then based in China, denied involvement and later rehabilitated his accused comrades. During the 1970s and 1980s, the CPM intensified its activities and clashes with the security forces. These activities were due to a rivalry among three factions in the CPM over party purges and strategies, with each faction trying to outdo the other in militancy and violence.However, in 1980, Deng Xiaoping refocused his priorities back on the Chinese bureaucracy after his return to power in 1978. He welcomed Lee Kuan Yew, the then-Prime Minister of Singapore and its leading political figure since independence from Malaysia, in a visit to Beijing. <mask> recalled that Deng had not bothered to meet him since then. Finally, in December 1980, Deng summoned <mask>. In the meeting, Deng demanded <mask> to immediately close down all the CPM's radio stations which were broadcasting from China to Malaysia. When <mask> asked Deng when he would like him to cease the broadcasting, Deng replied, "The sooner the better ... Lee (Lee Kuan Yew) asked me to stop the broadcasts immediately." Moreover, during his official visit to China, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Abdul Razak held talks with Chinese communist leader Chairman Mao Zedong and urged him to stop giving aid to the CPM.The fourth Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad further succeeded in persuading China to downgrade its ties with the CPM. This was an important factor that contributed to the CPM's decision to end its armed struggle. The End of the Emergency
The CPM finally laid down its arms in 1989. The death toll during the armed conflict totalled thousands. Those sympathetic to <mask>g tend to portray the violence perpetrated by the CPM as defensive, while right-wing opponents tend to portray it as aggressive and unethical. Some have claimed a large number of civilian casualties was in contrast to the stance adopted by Mao Zedong and his policy of the Eight Points of Attention. On 2 December 1989, at the town of Hat Yai in Southern Thailand, <mask>, Rashid Maidin, and Abdullah CD met with representatives of the Malaysian and Thai governments.Separate peace agreements were signed between the MCP and both governments. One of the terms of the agreement was that MCP members of Malayan origin be allowed to return to live in Malaysia. When all hostilities ceased, the total number of CPM members was 1,188; 694 were Thai-born and 494 claimed origins in Peninsular Malaysia. They were given a temporary grant and promised integration into Malaysia. In <mask>'s opinion, peace could have been achieved as early as 1955 during the Baling Talks, if the British, Tunku Abdul Rahman and David Marshall had not demanded that the communist fighters capitulate and surrender but, rather, had allowed them to hand over or destroy their weapons in a mutually agreed way and then resume normal life with full political freedom, which was the broad outcome of the 1989 accords. Application to return to Malaysia

<mask> never officially returned to Malaysia after the 1989 Hat Yai Peace Accords but continued his exile in Thailand. He gave lectures at the National University of Singapore in 2004, using purposes of academic research as his reason to gain visitation permission from the Singaporean government.At the beginning of 2000, he applied for permission to return to Malaysia. His application was rejected by the High Court on 25 July 2005. In June 2008, <mask> again lost his bid to return to Malaysia when the Court of Appeal upheld an earlier ruling that compelled him to show identification papers to prove his citizenship. <mask> maintained that his birth certificate was seized by the police during a raid in 1948. His counsel Raja Aziz Addruse had submitted before the Court of Appeal that it was wrong for the Malaysian government to compel him to produce the documents because he was entitled to enter and live in Malaysia under the peace agreement. On April 2009, <mask>'s application to return to Malaysia was once again rejected by the High Court for the same reason as his previous attempt. The Malaysian government insisted that his possible return would cause people who lost their loved ones during the Emergency to relive their pain again.In November 2009, <mask> issued an apology to the victims and their family members for the atrocities committed by the CPM. However, the then-Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Muhyiddin Yassin, replied that despite <mask>'s apology, he would still not be allowed to return to Malaysia due to his treason. Death

Before his death, he lived in exile in Thailand. Contrary to one of the conditions of the 1989 peace agreement, he was not permitted to return to Malaysia. <mask> died of cancer at the age of 88 at a private hospital in Bangkok, with only his 50-year-old niece by his side, on the morning of 16 September 2013, the 50th anniversary of Malaysia Day, and the 90th birthday of Lee Kuan Yew. He was cremated according to Buddhist rites. While <mask> had previously voiced wishes to be buried in Sitiawan, his remains continued to be denied entry for burial in Malaysia by the Malaysian government, as it was claimed that the one-year window after the agreement to reapply for citizenship had long lapsed and <mask> was assumed to have relinquished his rights to return.In November 2019, his remains were announced to have been returned in secrecy by a small action committee on 16 September 2019; his ashes were ceremoniously transported through Sitiawan before scattering at a hillside near Chemor and at sea.

<mask> (1921–1990) was an American rabbi born in Germany, known for his advocacy of reconciliation between the Jews and the Germans in the post-Holocaust era, and for his support for the civil rights movement in the United States. He was senior rabbi at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco for 19 years. Family
<mask> was born <mask> on January 7, 1921, in Heilbronn-am-Neckar, Germany. He changed his surname as early as 1945. He was the sixth generation of rabbis in his family. His father, Jonah Ansbacher (1880–1967) was an Orthodox rabbi who had received a doctorate from the University of Erlangen, writing a thesis on a 13th-century Arab cosmologist. His father was ordained by Rabbi Solomon Breuer and he was an ardent follower of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, founder of the Torah im Derech Eretz trend in Judaism.<mask> left the Orthodox Judaism of his ancestors and later became a Reform rabbi. Education

After his father received a rabbinic appointment, the Ansbacher family moved to Wiesbaden in 1925, where <mask> attended the Staatliche Gymnasium. When the Nazis took power in Germany in January 1933, he was one of only seven Jews in a student body of around 600, and the only Jew in his class. He endured three years of harassment including an antisemitic insult carved into the top of his desk, and other students singing popular songs calling for the murder of the Jews. In 1936, all Jewish students were expelled from the public schools, and his parents sent him to the Talmud Torah school in Hamburg, led by Rabbi <mask>, where he graduated in spring, 1938. Among the frequent guest lecturers in his senior year was Martin Buber. Because of the severely deteriorating conditions for Jews in Germany, his family had obtained exit visas in 1933 to be used at the appropriate time.His family sent <mask> to London after his graduation in 1938 to begin rabbinical college. He attended Etz Chaim Yeshiva in London and Jews' College (now the London School of Jewish Studies). After the war, he finished his studies at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio. His semikhah described him as shalselet rabbanim, that is, a member of a chain of rabbis in a long family tradition. World War II

On Kristallnacht, November 9, 1938, the Nazis began open war against the Jews, and his father's synagogue in Wiesbaden was vandalized and shut down. While heading to the railroad station in an attempt to escape, his father was arrested by the Gestapo, confined to Buchenwald for ten weeks, and then released when he agreed to use his visa and leave Germany forever. His parents arrived as refugees in London in February 1939.After the British defeat at Dunkirk on June 4, 1940, a wave of xenophobia against German refugees swept across Great Britain, and all of them were arrested, including the Jews and other anti-Nazis. His father was interned on the Isle of Man. <mask> was confined in an internment camp at Huyton, and shortly thereafter loaded onto the troop ship HMT Dunera, along with over 2,000 other anti-Nazi refugees. The ship sailed for Australia on July 10, 1940. He described conditions on the 57-day voyage as "cruel and sadistic" as British guards frequently beat prisoners with rifle butts, and plundered their belongings. It was "the most horrendous experience of his life." After the emaciated prisoners arrived in Sydney, they were confined to internment camps until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines in December 1941.The prisoners were then allowed to enlist in the Australian Army, where <mask> served as a chaplain. He met his wife Fae in Australia. Rabbinic career

Upon his discharge from military service, he served at the Melbourne Liberal Synagogue as assistant to Rabbi Hermann Sanger, who helped resettle Jewish refugees in Australia. He then went on to serve the Hobart Hebrew Congregation, where he was introduced at a centenary celebration for the synagogue. <mask> immigrated to the United States in 1947, and served at synagogues in Olean, New York; Sarasota, Florida; and then in Tuscaloosa, Alabama from 1956 to 1958. He served as rabbi of Temple Emmanuel in Greensboro, North Carolina from 1958 to 1968, and at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco from 1967 until his retirement in 1986 as rabbi emeritus. German-Jewish relations after the Holocaust

In London, <mask> had established a friendship with Lily Montagu CBE of the World Union for Progressive Judaism.In 1947, she recommended him to Leo Baeck, the organization's president, as an emissary to visit various German cities to investigate the status of the Jews in the immediate postwar period. He spent six weeks assessing the needs of displaced persons, including a lengthy visit to Bergen-Belsen. Everywhere, he found nothing but devastation and despair. "The human eye cannot fathom such horrible sights as I had to see", he later wrote about that trip. A 1955 trip to Germany led him to begin to consider a "re-orientation of the Jewish relationship with Germany". In 1961, motivated by the worldwide attention paid to the Adolf Eichmann trial in Israel, he began openly speaking about the Holocaust and the future of the relationship between Germany and the Jews. <mask> visited Germany again at the invitation of the German government in 1964, to learn what the German educational system taught students about the Jews.He visited his alma mater gymnasium, as well as the Max Planck Institute, and met with the Commissioners of Education of the Federal Republic of Germany. He described his experiences in an article he wrote for Look magazine, called "A Rabbi Asks: Isn't It Time We Forgave the Germans?" Although many people criticized <mask> for this article, Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt responded favorably, as did the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. In 1965, Rabbi <mask> led a contingent of four German-speaking rabbis, who met with over 8000 German teachers in training, and helped the German school system develop its first curriculum for secondary schools covering the Holocaust. He explained the thinking behind his work in Germany in an interview published in the Aufbau on March 11, 1966: "A new generation is growing up that was not born when the horrible crime was committed and for which they cannot be held responsible. The only positive thing we can do is to acquaint them with the Jews, their teachings, customs, and history, which they have not had the opportunity to know." As the years passed, he repeatedly visited Judaic studies programs in German universities, and late in life became a visiting professor at the Kirchliche Hochschule in Berlin.He served on an international committee of scholars to help design a memorial at the Wannsee Villa, where the Nazi leadership planned the Final Solution in January 1942. In 1989, the German government awarded him the Grand Cross of Merit. In 1980, he was appointed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council chartered by the U.S. Congress to plan the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The museum opened in Washington, D.C., in 1993, three years after his death. Civil rights movement

In 1958, he became rabbi of Temple Emanuel in Greensboro, North Carolina. On February 1, 1960, the Greensboro sit-ins began, an effort to desegregate the lunch counter at the local Woolworth's store. He was one of only two local white clergymen who collaborated with black community leaders and black clergymen in support of racial tolerance and desegregation, including the sit-ins.This sit-in movement spread throughout the southern states, leading in many communities to progress toward desegregation, and increasing political pressure on the federal government. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made segregation of public accommodations illegal. As a rabbi in the deep South, he did not hesitate to speak out against racial discrimination in the workplace, even when the employers were Jewish. Rabbi <mask> was wary of militant extremism. In San Francisco, he refused to share a podium with radical minister Jim Jones, who went on to mass suicide at Jonestown. Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Rabbi <mask> supported reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. He participated in Breira, an organization that advocated Israeli territorial concessions in the period following the Yom Kippur War.He also served on the advisory boards of Friends of Peace Now and the New Israel Fund. His support for these organizations resulted in harsh criticism and accusations of anti-Zionism. Death and legacy
<mask> died of prostate cancer on May 29, 1990. A festschrift honoring <mask> and his life's work was being edited by Moses Rischin and his son Rabbi Raphael <mask> at the time of his death, and was published in 1991. The book is entitled The Jewish Legacy and the German Conscience, and includes essays by 23 scholars, including Gunther Plaut, David Ellenson, David G. Dalin, Immanuel Jakobovits, Jakob Josef Petuchowski, Paul R. Mendes-Flohr, and Gerhard Weinberg. Elie Wiesel wrote the afterword. His successor at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco, Robert Kirschner, wrote that <mask> "embodied those attributes of German Jewry of which his generation was the last living witness: dignity, sobriety, erudition, and a singular elegance.Historian Fred Rosenbaum wrote that: "His deep learning, his continental manner, and above all his personal integrity afforded many congregants a sense of stability in a tumultuous world." His son, Rabbi Raphael W<mask>, served as the rabbi at Congregation B'nai Tikvah in Walnut Creek, California until his retirement in 2014. Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco sponsors an annual <mask> Memorial Lecture, usually featuring a scholar who has continued <mask>'s life's work on Germany and the Jews. References

<mask> (September 2, 1933 – June 23, 1994) was an American Major League Baseball player. Affectionately known as "<mask>ous Marv", he was the starting first baseman for the 1962 New York Mets, a team which set the modern record for most losses in a season with 120. <mask> became a well known figure after appearing in numerous Miller Lite beer commercials in the 1970's and 1980's. Early years
The left-handed batting and throwing native of Fisherville, Tennessee was a two-time all-city baseball player at South Side High School in Memphis. After turning down an offer to play alongside his older brother, Faye, with the Boston Red Sox, he signed as an amateur free agent with the New York Yankees in May . During his playing days, he was listed as  tall and . Minor league slugger
<mask> played the outfield early in his minor league career, and shifted to first base in  with the Kansas City Blues.He was one of the most feared minor league sluggers of the 1950s, and led the Blues with 21 home runs. The following season, he led the Triple-A American Association with 36 home runs and 117 runs batted in as a member of the Denver Bears. That September, he received a call up to the Casey Stengel led New York Yankees. <mask> made his major league debut as a pinch runner for Eddie Robinson on September 25,  at Fenway Park. He remained in the game at first, and hit a sacrifice fly that scored Andy Carey in his first major league plate appearance. In his first official at bat in the seventh inning, Throneberry hit a bases loaded double that scored two more, and later came around to score himself on a Bob Cerv single. All told, Throneberry went 2-for-2, with a double, run scored and three RBIs.His brother struck out three times for the Red Sox in the same game. He returned to the Denver Bears in , and once again led the American Association with 42 home runs and 145 RBIs. The following season, he clubbed 40 home runs, and drove in 124, tying an American Association record for leading the league in home runs and RBIs for three consecutive seasons. New York Yankees
Throneberry made it back to the majors for good in . He collected his first hit of the season, a double off the Baltimore Orioles' Ken Lehman in his tenth at bat. Seeing most of his action as a pinch hitter or late inning defensive replacement at first, an injury to Bill Skowron on May 11 landed <mask> in the starting line up through the rest of May. He hit his first major league home run off the Chicago White Sox's Bill Fischer on May 20.For the season, <mask> batted .227 with seven home runs and 19 RBIs in 60 games. He reached the post season for the only time in his career as a rookie, and was struck out by Lew Burdette in his only at bat of the  World Series. Though he saw more playing time in , he was batting just .184 with three home runs and ten RBIs when Skrowron's season was ended by a fractured wrist. <mask> responded by batting .286 with five home runs and twelve RBIs the rest of the way. After the season, he was part of the blockbuster trade that sent 1956 World Series hero Don Larsen, Hank Bauer and Norm Siebern to the Kansas City Athletics for power-hitting outfielder Roger Maris, Joe DeMaestri and Kent Hadley. Kansas City A's
<mask> began the  season as a pinch-hitter, with Siebern, an outfielder with the Yankees and, like <mask>, a left-handed hitter, starting at first base through the first five weeks of the campaign. <mask> made only two starts in the field through May 23 and his batting average was a poor .176 with no extra-base hits.But on May 24 at Municipal Stadium, he was inserted into the lineup at first base (Siebern moved to left field) and <mask> went three for four, with a homer, double and triple, driving in three runs and leading the Athletics to a 6–2 victory over the Red Sox. Starting assignments in late May and early June yielded three more homers. Finally, on June 21, Athletics manager Bob Elliott moved Siebern to left field on a semi-permanent basis and installed <mask> at first base. Facing almost exclusively right-handed pitching (he had 28 at bats against southpaws all year), <mask> batted .250 with eleven home runs and 41 RBIs in , making 55 starts at first base. At home at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium, <mask> batted .303 with 26 RBIs. On the road, his batting average fell to .205. Midway through the  season, he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for left fielder Gene Stephens.Baltimore Orioles
With an All-Star MVP candidate who batted left-handed in Jim Gentile at first base, the Orioles used <mask> mostly as a pinch hitter or in right field. On June 13, his ninth inning pinch hit single drove in Dick Hall for the walk off victory over the Washington Senators. On June 27, he went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBIs against his former teammates in Kansas City to lead the O's to a 5–3 victory. Seventeen games into the  season, the Orioles traded him to the expansion New York Mets for a player to be named later and cash. The Mets sent catcher Hobie Landrith, their first selection in the 1961 Major League Baseball expansion draft, to the Orioles to complete the deal. New York Mets
Reunited with Manager Casey Stengel, <mask> got his first chance as a regular. On May, in his first game as a Met, <mask> went 1-for-4, and scored a run in the ninth in an 8–5 loss to the Milwaukee Braves.He would not see home plate again until June 9, when he went 3-for-4 with a run scored and his first RBI as a Met in an 11–6 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The 1962 Mets may not have won many games, but these "Lovable losers" won the hearts of sports fans, and no one exemplified that more than <mask>. Many humorous stories surfaced about <mask>, who facetiously came to be known as "Marvelous Marv." While it is likely that many of these stories are exaggerated or false, they helped turn <mask> into almost legendary status among Mets fans. The fact of his initials spelling "MET" accentuated all anecdotes. <mask> maintained a sense of humor about his play and became a favorite with fans and the media (after the season, he received the Ben Epstein Memorial "Good Guy" Award). At one point he had a fan club which numbered around 5,000 members.They wore shirts with the word "VRAM" (Marv backwards) and took up chanting "Cranberry, Strawberry, we love Throneberry." In one famous story, on June 17, <mask> hit a triple against the Cubs, but was called out after Ernie Banks took a relay throw and stepped on second base. "Didn't touch the bag, you know, Dusty," Banks told umpire Dusty Boggess. According to the legend, <mask> was called out at second and Stengel came out to argue the call, but he was told by the umpire "Don't bother arguing, Casey, he missed first base, too." (In another version of the story, Stengel was told this by his first-base coach.) Stengel, after a pause, supposedly replied, "Well, I know he touched third base because he's standing on it!" The next batter, Charlie Neal, hit a home run, prompting Stengel to come out of the dugout following him and pointing at all four bases.<mask>'s mistake proved costly, as the Cubs won the game 8–7. In the second game of a June 22 doubleheader with fellow expansion club, the Houston Colt .45s, <mask> committed three of six Mets errors. On August 2, <mask> had his second career two-home-run game in a 9–4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. His 16 home runs and 49 RBIs in 1962 were both career highs; however, he also committed 17 errors at first base. His fielding percentage of .981 would not be equaled by a major-league regular first baseman until César Cedeño fielded .981 in 1979 for the Houston Astros. During the off-season, the Mets acquired Tim Harkness from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Harkness assumed the starting first base job, with <mask> relegated to pinch hitting duty.After going just 2-for-15 through May 5, he was demoted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. While clubbing 16 home runs for Buffalo, he batted just .176. He batted .083 in eight games in  before being released. Career statistics

<mask> hit 201 minor league home runs with a .269 batting average. With the exception of one rough year defensively, <mask> was no worse than average with his career fielding percentage and range factor (8.01) as a first baseman. Miller Lite commercials
"Marvelous Marv" later became one of the original spokesmen for Miller Lite beer in the mid 1970s, poking fun at himself in a series of TV commercials. <mask>'s most famous line: "If I do for Lite what I did for baseball, I'm afraid their sales will go down."In another popular ad, after other celebrities are shown, <mask> is shown at the end, saying: "I still don't know why they asked me to do this commercial." Columnist Jimmy Breslin quipped, "Having <mask> <mask> play for your team is like having Willie Sutton work for your bank." Personal life
<mask> died of cancer on June 23,  in Fisherville, Tennessee, at age 60. He and his wife, Dixie had five children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. One of his grandchildren is filmmaker Craig Brewer. In , <mask> was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. References

<mask> (March 18, 1872 – April 8, 1960), known to his friends as "<mask>", was an American millionaire socialist writer, political activist, and philanthropist. He is best remembered as a founding member and key figure in the Intercollegiate Socialist Society and as the husband of <mask>, a radical union organizer and activist in the Communist Party of America. <mask> split with the Socialist Party of America over the question of American participation in World War I, objecting to the party's staunchly antimilitarist stance. He separated from his wife and left radical politics during this period. Biography

Early years
<mask> was born in New York City on March 18, 1872 to one of the city's most prosperous families. He was one of nine children. His great-grandfather, <mask>, came to New York City from London at the end of the 18th century and became a merchant, founding the establishment Phelps, Dodge & Co., the source of the family's wealth.His father, Anson <mask> (1838–1913), a banker and real estate developer, was patriarch of a large house on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. His mother, Helen Louisa <mask>, was a descendant of a man who emigrated to Dorchester, Massachusetts from England in about 1630. Two boys of the <mask> household were given four names, the first of which was decoration. <mask>'s brother, the architect Isaac Newton <mask> (1867–1944), was known merely as "Newton", and throughout his life <mask> <mask>, named after his paternal grandfather, was known to all as "<mask>". Another brother, Anson (1874–1958), later a famous philanthropist, was named after his father and did not receive an "extra" name like his siblings. The <mask> household, despite its venerability, was not without its concerns about broader society. <mask>'s father was active in the causes of civil service reform, currency reform, and the replacement of protectionism with free trade.He was also a collector of art and books and a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. <mask> benefited from a first rate education. He attended the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University, receiving his Ph.B. degree there in 1892, before going on to obtain a M.D. degree from Columbia University in 1896 although he never practiced medicine. Following receipt of his medical degree, <mask> continued with a year of graduate study of political science, also at Columbia. <mask> served in the New York National Guard from 1899 to 1901.During the Spanish–American War of 1898–1899 he was a private in the U.S. Army cavalry, but he did not deploy overseas. At this same time, <mask>'s father was active in the Anti-Imperialist League, described by one historian as "a group of substantial citizens" opposed to American intervention in the Philippines. While at university, <mask> became concerned with the plight of the American underclass and poverty. He served on the board of the University Settlement while at Columbia. In November 1902 <mask> left his father's comfortable household to take up living in a settlement house on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, one of the poorest areas of New York City. Historians Arthur Zipser and Pearl Zipser describe the scene:

"There was a lively intellectual atmosphere on the top floor of the University Settlement house, where the highly educated, mostly rich, young social workers had their residence, dining, and club rooms. It was a world apart from the lower floors of the building, where the regular settlement house functions were carried out among the denizens of the surrounding ghettoized slum.This separation between leaders and led was not the goal they were aiming for, which was the outreach of the privileged to the downtrodden. But the separation was real." Love flourished among the young, socially-concerned settlement workers. <mask>' sister <mask> <mask> fell in love with settlement house manager Robert Hunter, later a widely known socialist journalist and author, and the pair married in 1903. And it was in connection with the settlement house that <mask> met an attractive young news reporter who interviewed him for the Yiddish Daily News, Rose Pastor. The pair fell in love and married on July 18, 1905. While <mask> did participate in commercial affairs throughout his life, serving variously as an officer of such concerns as the Phelps Stokes Corporation, the Austin Mining Company, the Nevada Central Railroad, and the State Bank of Nevada, <mask>'s primary interests and concerns lay in the realm of public affairs.<mask> was a frequent author of articles on current social problems and letters of opinion to various journals and newspapers. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Tuskegee Institute. Socialist years

In 1905, <mask> became a candidate for public office for the first time, running as the candidate of the Municipal Ownership League for President of the New York Board of Aldermen. <mask> was the second name on a ticket which featured William Randolph Hearst for Mayor, causing contemporaries to refer to the Municipal Ownership League as "Hearst's League." The decision to run downticket with the multimillionaire publisher was not a popular one with <mask>' radical new wife, who wished for defeat of Hearst and his associates. She later recalled:

"One evening, passing my living-room window, I heard <mask>'s name flung upward from the street below. I leaned out to see.A very fiery young man was making a speech from a soapbox on the corner. A little knot of men, women, and children had collected about him. He was pointing up at my window — at me. He was saying things about us. I strained to hear... 'Municipal Ownership is no solution,' he cried, 'so long as the propertied classes own the municipalities. J.G<mask> <mask> is a rich man — a man of property; he belongs to the capitalist class.The Municipal Ownership League is a rich man's creation. W.R. Hearst belongs in the millionaire class. This is his government. He doesn't want to change the government. The Socialist Party, the workers' party, and what we want is a government of, for, and by the people who work.' 'Hear, hear!' I called down, leaning far out of the window and clapping my hands.<mask> <mask> seems to have joined the Socialist Party of America in 1906. Even before that, <mask> was enlisted in the Socialist cause by author Upton Sinclair, who sought to establish a new group fostering the dispassionate study of socialist ideas on college campuses around America, an organization to be called the Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS). <mask> was one of ten signatories of the published call for the new organization which appeared in the spring of 1905, joining Sinclair, author Jack London, attorney Clarence Darrow, sociologist and author Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others. The first formal meeting of the organization, held at a restaurant in New York City late in the summer of 1905, elected <mask> second vice president of the ISS, serving with London as president and Sinclair as first vice president. In May 1907, Jack London resigned the presidency of the ISS and <mask> assumed the position. He continued to play a leading role in the organization for the next decade, sitting on the organization's executive committee and speaking far and wide on topics of contemporary concern under ISS auspices. In the spring of 1909, for example, <mask> and <mask> went on the road for a full month, speaking at colleges throughout New England, where they distributed ISS literature for free or at nominal charge to interested undergraduates.Later years, death, and legacy
