 the Veterans Committee. Early years
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, <mask> was one of five sons of a prosperous jeweler. <mask> had two brothers who were also major league pitchers: <mask> and <mask>. The three <mask> brothers rank third in wins by brothers behind the Niekro and Perry brothers. The <mask>'s also had two maternal cousins, Walter Hackett and Mortimer "Mert" Hackett who played professional baseball. After attending business school and playing semipro ball, <mask> signed as a free agent with Worcester of the National League in 1882.<mask> played his first major league game at age 20 on May 2, 1882. He played in three games for the Ruby Legs, finishing with a 1–2 record in 24 innings. The Worcester team folded after the 1882 season, and <mask> pitched in the minors the following two years. Chicago White Stockings (1884–1887)
Chicago manager Cap Anson saw <mask> pitching for Saginaw in the Northwest League in 1884. On August 24, 1884, the White Stockings purchased him from Saginaw. The White Stockings finished in fifth place in 1884, but <mask> put in a strong performance, going 10–3 in 13 starts after being acquired from Saginaw. His .769 win percentage was the second best in the league, and his 2.14 ERA was sixth best.<mask> was known to be extremely sensitive to criticism. Shortly after his death in 1909, former Chicago player/manager Cap Anson noted that "not many know what amount of encouragement it took to keep him going." Anson recalled: "Scold him, find fault with him, and he would not pitch at all. Say to him after a game: 'Grand work, <mask>, I will probably use you again tomorrow, for we've got to have that game,' and he would go out the next day and stand all batters on their heads.'"

 Alfred H. Spink, The National Game (1910), quoted in Bill James, The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract (2001), p. 873. A 53-win season in 1885
In 1885, <mask> became Chicago's principal starting pitcher. In a remarkable feat of durability, <mask> appeared in 70 games that year, pitched 623 innings and threw 68 complete games.He also won 53 games with an ERA of 1.85 (Adjusted ERA+ of 165). On July 27, 1885, he pitched the only no-hitter of his career with a 4–0 win over the Providence Grays. His 50th win of the season occurred on September 19, 1885, a 10–3 victory over Boston. The White Stockings won the 1885 National League pennant with 83 wins, 53 of which came from <mask>. <mask> started three games in the 1885 World Series against the St. Louis Browns, with a record of 1–1 and an ERA of 1.12, allowing only two earned runs in 16 innings. <mask>'s performance in 1885 led the National League in wins (53) and strikeouts (308) and ranks as one of the most remarkable in major league history. His 53 wins is the second highest single season total in MLB history.His 68 complete games is the seventh highest single season total in MLB history. His 70 games started is the eighth most in MLB history. His 632 innings pitched is the eighth most in MLB history. A 36-win season in 1886
In 1886, <mask> shared the pitching load with Jim McCormick and Jocko Flynn, each of whom won at least 23 games and pitched over 250 innings. <mask> had a record of 36–17, with 50 complete games and an ERA of 2.41 (Adjusted ERA+ of 150) in  innings pitched.

 record of 90–34 with a winning percentage of .726 that ranks as one of the highest in baseball history. After winning the National League pennant by  games over the Detroit Wolverines, the White Stockings faced the St. Louis Browns in the World Series for the second consecutive year. <mask> pitched four games (three of which were complete games) in the 1886 World Series. He had a record of 2–2 with 28 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.04 in 31 innings pitched. The sixth game, at St. Louis, was considered one of the greatest games ever played to that time. With the Browns ahead three games to two, Anson called on <mask> to start his fourth game in six days. <mask> responded with seven shutout innings, but gave up three runs in the eighth inning, and the game went to extra innings.In the bottom of the tenth inning, the Browns' center fielder Curt Welch singled (only the fourth hit off <mask>) and moved to third on a sacrifice. Welch and Browns’ third base coach Arlie Latham tried to distract <mask> with heckling and faking moves toward home. When Welch finally attempted the steal, Chicago's catcher, King Kelly, had called for a pitchout, but <mask> threw a wild pitch, and Welch scored the World Series winning run. A 38-win season in 1887
In 1887, <mask> was 38–21 for Chicago with 56 complete games and a 3.08 ERA. However, King Kelly was sold to Boston before the season began, and the team began a decline, dropping to third place in 1887. <mask>, always a touchy temperament, reportedly became more difficult to handle after Kelly's departure.

A 33-win season in 1888
On April 3, 1888, the White Stockings sold Clarkson to the Boston Beaneaters for $10,000—a huge sum at the time.<mask> followed

Boston had paid $10,000 apiece for Kelly and <mask>, and they became known as the "$20,000 Battery." <mask> pitched five great seasons for Boston. He was 33–20 in 1888, starting 54 games and pitching 53 complete games with an ERA of 2.76. A 49-win season in 1889
The 1889 season was <mask>'s best for Boston. He started a career-high 72 games and had an astounding record of 49–19 with 68 complete games, 284 strikeouts, and a 2.73 ERA in 620 innings pitched. While <mask>'s 1889 numbers are comparable to those he posted in 1885, the game and distance to the plate had changed, and no other pitcher pitched nearly as many games or innings as <mask> in 1889.As a measure of his dominance, <mask>'s 49 wins were 11 more than any other pitcher; his 620 innings were 200 more than any other pitcher; and his 68 complete games were 22 more than any other pitcher. He also had twice as many shutouts as the next best pitcher. He was only the fourth pitcher to win the pitching Triple Crown, by leading the National League in wins, ERA and strikeouts. On June 4, 1889, <mask> became the first pitcher in major league history to throw an immaculate inning, striking out all three batters on a total of nine pitches in the third inning of a 4–2 win over the Philadelphia Quakers.

After the 1893 season, <mask> went on a hunting trip with his close friend Charlie Bennett, who had been his catcher from 1888 to 1890. Bennett got off the train in Wellsville, Kansas and when he tried to reboard, Bennett slipped and fell under the train's wheels. Bennett lost both of his legs in the accident. <mask> witnessed the incident, and it was said to have severely affected his already unstable nature. In 1894, <mask> pitched his final year in the major leagues, playing his last game on July 12, 1894, and finishing 8–10 in 18 starts for the Spiders. Life after baseball

 Recreation and The Good Place. Career

Writing
After graduating from Harvard, <mask> tried to break into a career in comedy writing—with law school as a fall back. <mask> was named "10 Screenwriters to Watch" by Variety Fair magazine in 2009. He wrote for Last Call with Carson Daly and contributed to South Park before he landed a job in 2008 as a staff writer for the then-upcoming NBC comedy Parks and Recreation. He was hired six months before the job began, so he wrote two screenplays, White Dad and Gay Dude.White Dad was sold to Sony in 2008 and Gay Dude was on the Hollywood blacklist before being sold to Lionsgate Films in 2011 and was released in 2014 as Date and Switch. <mask> wrote the Funny or Die short, Parks and Recreation is the Wu Tang of Comedy (2010) directed by Dean Holland and Michael Schur, starring Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, Amy Poehler,  as well as RZA and Questlove. In 2012, <mask> started writing a sitcom about a father-son relationship; when Parks and Rec producer Greg Daniels suggested he make the characters Asian, <mask> declined as he assumed it would not be successful. On Parks and Recreation, however, he became friends with actor/comedian Aziz Ansari, and the two later co-created Master of None, which debuted November 6, 2015 on Netflix. The series was well received—especially for its diverse cast and subject matter—and earned four Emmy nominations, and <mask> and Ansari shared the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for their Master of None episode, "Parents." <mask> said in an interview that Brian's character in the episode, played by Kelvin Yu, was largely based on himself and his family.

 general.A lot of that stuff was written as conversations that Aziz and I would have." <mask> and Ansari were also awarded a Peabody Award in May 2016. According to <mask>, while topics on the show include racial diversity and racism, the main goal is to be authentic to their life experiences. "We try to do a blend in our show of what we talk about in our real lives", he told Variety in June 2016. "There's an episode or two about being Indian or Asian on TV, about dealing with your parents who are immigrants — but we fall in love, we have work trouble, we have all these other stories that make the characters more well rounded." The second season was released in 2017. In 2016, <mask> began writing for The Good Place, and was credited for the second episode.He also directed an episode in the show's second season. In 2018, he reunited with Matt Hubbard, who worked on Parks and Recreation with <mask>, to create Amazon's Forever, a comedy-drama series starring Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph. <mask> is also currently working on producing Little America, a show he describes as "like Black Mirror, but instead of being super-dark sci-fi stories, it is immigrant stories."

<mask> (October 15, 1847 – August 9, 1919) was a romanticist American painter known primarily for his landscape paintings related to the Tonalism movement. Biography
<mask> was born in New York City on October 15, 1847, the son of Caroline Olinarg (Carry) and <mask><mask>, who was born in England. His father was a successful physician. <mask> initially set out to follow in his footsteps, and in 1864 began studies at the Free Academy of the City of New York (now known as the City College). He dropped out after his third term, opting to forgo formal education. From 1869–72 he traveled alone through the American West, wandering far from American settlements and spending time among the American Indians. Largely self-taught as an artist, he began producing competent landscapes, as well as scenes of Indian life, based on his notebooks he filled while traveling and on his personal memories and feelings.<mask>'s works were exhibited in the National Academy of Design. In 1877 <mask> married Cora Rebecca Bailey; they had nine children. In art, <mask> was a genius, yet, in business dealings and in monetary transactions he proved a failure. He found it difficult, if not crushing to maintain and support his wife and children. In desperation he found himself selling his paintings for extremely low prices, far beneath their known worth. In hopes of lifting his family from abject poverty, reportedly on the day his 9th child was born, <mask> had offered a painting to a collector for $1000. The collector made a counter offer and after refusing the proposed sum <mask> found himself in a bitter argument with his wife.After the domestic dispute, <mask> returned to the patron and sold the painting for a much lesser sum. Defeated and frustrated, it is said he broke down and tore

texts: the cash into pieces. And so it was after such repeated failed business transactions that he began to suffer from extreme depression and eventually show symptoms of mental frailty. <mask> suffered his first mental breakdown in 1891, while living with his brother in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. For financial assistance, he began selling his paintings, including 30 to 40 to vaudeville performer Lew Bloom between 1889 and 1892. His depression manifested in schizophrenic delusions in which he believed himself immensely wealthy – perhaps a compensation for his long struggle to provide for his family. In 1899, he suffered his final breakdown and spent almost the entire remaining twenty years of his life in mental institutions.Almost as soon as <mask> went into the first psychiatric hospital, his works began to receive recognition. Within a few years the paintings he had once sold for next to nothing were resold for several thousand dollars. In 1916, <mask> was made an Academician of the National Academy of Design. Meanwhile, <mask> languished in the mental asylum of Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital, whose administration and staff were unaware of his fame as an artist, and who viewed his belief that his paintings were in major museums as one more sign of his illness. While confined he continued to paint in ink, painting on the backs of cardboard and various supports, substituting bark and his own hair for brushes. In 1916, one of <mask>'s landscapes sold at auction for $20,000, setting a record for a painting by a living American artist. It was this impressive price that captured the imagination of Sadie Filbert, who had reinvented herself as the socially prominent Beatrice Van Rensselaer Adams so that she could swindle the wealthy by persuading them to donate to

 charitable causes that would, in fact, serve to enrich herself.She founded and milked the Blakelock Fund, which was supposed to support the impecunious artist and his needy brood. She informed Harrison Smith, then a young reporter with the New York Tribune, of <mask>'s whereabouts, and he went to see <mask> in the asylum. He found him largely lucid, although under the delusion that an imagined "diamond of the Emperor of Brazil" had been stolen from him. Smith explained to the asylum director who <mask> was, and managed to arrange to bring <mask> and the director to Manhattan, where a major gallery retrospective of <mask>'s work was taking place. <mask> was awed by the changes in the city in the two decades since he had last seen it, and thrilled to see the recognition his work had received. Smith scored himself a major news story. (In a 1945 account, Smith added that <mask> had quietly informed him that several of the paintings were forgeries, but Smith chose not to put that in his story because of the question of how far he could rely on the word of the less than fully sane <mask>.)These events led to <mask>'s release from the asylum, in the "care" of Sadie Filbert, alias Beatrice Van Rensselaer Adams, who milked him for all he was worth. He continued painting until his death at the age of 71 on August 9, 1919. Work

<mask> taught himself to paint through trial and error, and continued to use improvisation as an artistic method throughout his life. He was also an accomplished musician, and would use his improvised piano compositions as inspiration for his paintings. He would work on paintings for years, building layers and then scoring, scraping, or rubbing them away. <mask>'s early landscapes have their genesis in the style of the Hudson River school of

 painters. In time, he developed a more subjective and intimate style.His favorite themes were those depicting the wilderness and solitude; evocative and emotional paintings of illuminated moments in nature, of moonlight  landscapes and twilight hours and Indian camps in the solitude of nature. He was also heavily influenced by the French Barbizon School, whose painters also favored dark forests and heavily worked surfaces. <mask>'s technique was highly personal and through his individualistic style his paintings summoned the viewer into a luminous, almost other worldly realm. In the majority of his paintings, space is given depth by the use of light; moonlight most often. Along with his contemporary <mask> Ryder, <mask> <mask> was one of the most individual American painters of his time. One of his many paintings entitled Moonlight was sold at the highest price ever paid for the work of a living American artist at that time. Sadly, his rise in public notoriety along with the increase in his art sales never benefited his family or himself.By 1903 his works were being forged, so much so, that he remains today as "perhaps the most forged" artist in America. Such was the final ironic touch to one of the most tragic stories in American art. Friendship with Harry Watrous
Around or after 1886, <mask> was befriended by the younger painter Harry Watrous, and often used his studio in the Sherwood Studio Building. "Over the years, when <mask> was in financial need, Watrous handled his work for him, selling it to art dealers and collectors, something <mask> often could not manage for himself." Watrous was <mask>'s "most faithful supporter, both during the productive decades of the 1880s and 1890s and during the period of his confinement" for mental illness. Around and

 after the time of <mask>'s death, Watrous began painting landscapes and nocturnes which "in their evocative mood, boldly designed compositions, and use of light and dark contrasts…resemble the work of his friend <mask>," and may be seen as elegiac tributes. Some anecdotes about Watrous and <mask> are related in American Paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vol.III. In popular culture
<mask> is a key figure in the setting of Paul Auster's novel Moon Palace. In particular, one of his many Moonlight paintings, specifically the 1885 painting (68.7 by 81.3 cm) in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum (see picture in Artworks section below), is referred to in the novel. <mask>'s paintings are a key plot point in the 2020 movie I'm Thinking of Ending Things.

was a lieutenant general in the Imperial Japanese Army, a minister of state, and  member of the House of Peers. A close associate of Hideki Tojo, he helped to plan Japan's wartime economy. Military career
The eldest son of a landowner in Chiba Prefecture, <mask> had aspired to participate in the forestry development of Manchuria based on stories told by his uncle, who was a colonel in the Imperial Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War. He applied for Tokyo Imperial University's Faculty of Agriculture but passed the examinations for the Imperial Japanese Army Academy and upon the recommendations of his uncle, began a military career instead. He graduated from the 22nd class in 1910 and from the 29th class of the Army War College in 1917. After his commission, he studied economics for a year and was briefly assigned to the Ministry of Finance. After the Nikolayevsk incident, he was dispatched from April to October 1920 to Siberia.he served as a military attache to Shanghai from November 1920 to February 1922. As he was fluent in both English and Chinese, he was assigned to the China Bureau within the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff and was sent to Beijing from August 1925 to December 1925 and to various locations in China from December 1926 to May 1927. he accompanied General Yamanashi Hanzo on a meeting with the Chinese warlord Zhang Zuolin in Beijing in June 1927. On 1927, <mask> started to become increasingly involved in internal political factions within the Army. In 1929, he joined the Isseki-kai, a clique that included Tetsuzan Nagata, Hideki Tojo, Kanji Ishiwara and Seishirō Itagaki. He was sent as a military attache to the United Kingdom from February to October

He then began to advocate a more aggressive policy in Manchuria and was one of the most vocal advocates for Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations.He was promoted to colonel in December 1933. From 1934 to 1935, <mask> served as an instructor at the Army Staff College and was assigned to the Cabinet Research Bureau from 1935 to 1936. He meanwhile co-authored a pamphlet outlining his theory for a "national defense state" to prepare for total war, based on utopian and Marxist theories on the state control of industries and agrarian reform. During the February 26 incident in 1936, <mask> was initially regarded as a member of the Kōdōha faction which supported the attempted coup; however, he switched sides to the Tōseiha as it became apparent that the coup would not succeed. Although that earned him a spot close to Hideki Tojo, it also gained him the reputation as an "opportunist," which was resented by many in the Army, including his former classmate Tomoyuki Yamashita. <mask> was assigned command of the IJA 14th Infantry regiment in December 1936. Although he had been a bureaucrat and administrator, his entire career with little experience as a field commander and no combat experience caused the command of a field unit to be necessary for his further promotion.He became a major general in November 1937 and was assigned nominally to the staff of the IJA 16th Division from November 1937 to April 1938, but he remained in Tokyo with the Cabinet Research Bureau. From April 1936, he was nominal Chief-of-Staff of the IJA 3rd Army,

He was promoted to lieutenant general in August 1940 but retired from military service in April 1941 and entered the reserves. Wartime political career
Although retired from the military, <mask> continued to serve as a Minister of State as Chair of the Cabinet Planning Board under the second and third Fumimaro Konoe administrations. In the October 1941 Gozen Kaigi immediately prior to the start of then Pacific War, <mask> asserted that the outcome of a war would depend a quantitative analysis of Japan's economic and military power and that the American economic embargo caused Japan to have a supply less that three years of oil and other critical resources. Unless new resources could be secured, the Japanese industry would collapse, and the military would lose its capability of taking action, which would result in the loss of the Empire.Continuing to serve in the Hideki Tojo administration, he strongly pushed  for the creation of the Ministry of Greater East Asia, of which he expected to become the cabinet minister. However, Tojo selected the career bureaucrat Kazuo Aoki instead, and <mask> resigned as Minister of State and became a member of the Upper House of the Diet of Japan in October 1943. Postwar

<mask> (25 June 1951 – 13 August 1978) was a Canadian adventurer and yachtsman killed by the Khmer Rouge in August 1978 while sailing a little yacht named "Foxy Lady" through Cambodian waters. One of nine "Western" yachtsmen known to have been seized by the Democratic Kampuchean regime, between April and November 1978. He was the sole Canadian victim of the 1975–79 Cambodian genocide. Early life
<mask> was born in London, United Kingdom on 25 June 1951. At the age of five he moved with his family to Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. From an early age <mask> loved adventure. After completing his tenth grade of high school, <mask> worked for a while in Vancouver and then travelled to London to live and work.<mask> smuggled Moroccan hashish into the UK on three occasions in 1972 and 1973. On the third of these, together with his girlfriend and two other companions, <mask> was arrested at UK customs. Following a six-month term at HMP Wormwood Scrubs, he and his female companion—the two now married—navigated the Hippie trail to New Delhi, and from there flew to Australia. Travels on Foxy Lady
While living in Darwin, the capital of Australia's Northern Territory, <mask> met New Zealander Kerry George Hamill. <mask> and Hamill purchased a 28-foot, traditional Malaysian perahu bedar named Foxy Lady. Together with Hamill's Australian girlfriend, Gail Colley, <mask> and Hamill sailed Foxy Lady north to Timor, and from there to the island of Flores, in eastern Indonesia, then on to Bali. At this point, Gail Colley left the boat.Jan Seeley crewed with them to Singapore from where they continued to Penang where they were joined others, including Gail Colley and Phillip

 Parsonson, and they sailed up the Strait of Malacca to the Thai island of Phuket. Some time in June 1978—following the departure of Gail Colley—<mask> and Kerry sailed around the tip of the Malaysian peninsula and up to Kuala Terengganu, on Malaysia's eastern coast. There they met Englishman John Dawson Dewhirst, who joined Foxy Lady on her final sail into Cambodian waters. Foxy Lady's seizure
In the late afternoon or early evening of 13 August 1978, Foxy Lady was seized, off Koh Tang (Tang Island), by a patrol boat of the Democratic Kampuchean navy. Two Americans, Lance McNamara and James Clark, had been seized under similar circumstances in late April, while sailing a yacht named Mary K. off Koh Wai (Wai Island) According to New Zealander Rob Hamill, brother of <mask>'s murdered friend, Kerry, Foxy Lady had been blown into Cambodian waters by a storm. Other sources suggest the little bedar had ventured here intentionally, on her way to Bangkok, possibly to pick up a load of Thai marijuana. Only one account of Foxy Lady's brutal seizure exists—a single paragraph in one of the "confessions" S-21 interrogators would force John Dewhirst to write in early September: <mask> was shot during the seizure, Dewhirst told his Khmer Rouge captors, and either drowned or was abandoned in the water.Dewhirst and Kerry Hamill were dragged off to Democratic Kampuchea's preeminent "security office," in Phnom Penh, known at the time as S-21. S-21 would later be called "Tuol Sleng" by Vietnamese forces that overthrew the Khmer Rouge in January 1979. Like the six other Western yachtsmen imprisoned at S-21 (four Americans and two Australians), Hamill and Dewhirst were forced to

 confess, presumably under torture, that they were CIA spies. They are believed to have been killed shortly after signing their final "confessions," in mid-October 1978. Aftermath of Foxy Lady's seizure
The death of six American and two Australian yachtsmen at the hands of the Khmer Rouge was reported for the first time in a wave of wire service dispatches between mid-November and late December 1979—a year after the capture of the last pair of yachtsmen (Australians David Lloyd Scott and Ronald Keith Dean), and fifteen months after the seizure of Foxy Lady. That one of these ill-fated sailors was a Canadian was reported for the first time (no name given) in the edition of 5 December 1979 of the Wellington Evening Post. <mask> would be identified by name for the first time in early January 1980, in a UPI dispatch by US journalist Jim Laurie.Subsequent feature articles by American journalist Ed Rasen, detailing Foxy Lady's fate, appeared in the UK publication Now! and the Australian Bulletin. <mask>'s family never spoke to the media at the time, however, so for the following thirty years <mask> would be known solely by his name and nationality. Trial of Khmer Rouge leaders
The most directly implicated of surviving Khmer Rouge chiefs alleged to have played a role in <mask>' death is widely believed to be one of two unnamed individuals of interest in Case 003 of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. (ECCC Case 001 ended in July 2010 with the conviction of S-21 chief Kaing Guek Eav, alias Duch; Case 002 went to trial in the fall of 2011).

Throughout the spring and summer of 2011, various chambers and offices of the ECCC discussed among themselves—acrimoniously, at times—whether Case 003 should continue to be investigated.The court's British Co-Prosecutor, Andrew Cayley, believes Case 003 has been inadequately investigated. Cayley's Cambodian colleague disagrees, in concordance with the Cambodian government's line. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen—a former mid-ranking Khmer Rouge commander himself—has made his view clear that the tribunal should wrap up its work, and certainly not extend charges to anyone other than Case 002 defendants Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Ieng Thirith, and Khieu Samphan. The tribunal has yet to decide whether Case 003 will move to trial or not. The trial of <mask>'s alleged murderers began (Nuon Chea and Ieng Sary were in charge of Democratic Kampuchea's internal security apparatus and foreign affairs, respectively), thirty-three years after the Canadian's death. On 7 August 2014 both defendants were found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life imprisonment. See also

 work
<mask> is best known as a political scientist for his book Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis (1971), in which he developed two new theoretical paradigms – an organizational process model and a bureaucratic politics model – to compete with the then-prevalent approach of understanding foreign policy decision-making using a rational actor model. Essence of Decision swiftly revolutionized the study of decision-making in political science and beyond. Thucydides Trap

In the book Destined for War, <mask> uses the phrase the Thucydides Trap which, according to him, refers to the theory that "when one great power threatens to displace another, war is almost always the result". <mask>'s term follows the ancient text History of the Peloponnesian War, in which Thucydides wrote, "What made war inevitable was the growth of Athenian power and the fear which this caused in Sparta." The term appeared in a paid opinion advertisement in The New York Times on April 6, 2017, on the occasion of U.S. President Donald Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which stated, "Both major players in the region share a moral obligation to steer away from Thucydides's Trap."<mask> asserts that circumstances at the start of World War I (involving British fears about Germany), the War of the Spanish Succession, and the Thirty Years' War (involving French insecurity about the Habsburg empires of Spain and Austria) exhibit the trap. Both <mask>dides's Trap and its applicability to U.S.-Chinese relations have encountered heavy scholarly criticism. In March 2019,

<mask> or <mask> (born 1903 in Portland, Oregon – 14 July 1996) was an American author, known mostly for her Address Unknown (1938), a short story written as a series of letters between a Jewish art dealer, living in San Francisco, and his business partner, who had returned to Germany in 1932. It is credited with exposing, early on, the dangers of Nazism to the American public. Life
<mask> moved to San Francisco after graduating from the University of Oregon in 1924 and worked as an advertising copywriter. In 1928, Kressmann married <mask>, who owned an advertising agency. Ten years later, the couple moved to New York, where Story magazine published Address Unknown. The editor Whit Burnett and Elliot deemed the story "too strong to appear under the name of a woman," and published the work under the name <mask>, dropping her first name. She used this name professionally for the rest of her life.Reader's Digest soon reprinted the novel, and Simon & Schuster published it as a book in 1939, selling 50,000 copies. Foreign publications followed quickly, including a Dutch translation, later confiscated by Nazis, and a German one, published in Moscow. The book was banned in Germany. An indictment of Nazism was also the theme of <mask>'s next book, Until That Day, published in 1942. In 1944, Columbia Pictures turned Address Unknown into a movie. The film director and production designer was William C. Menzies (Gone with the Wind), and Paul Lukas starred as Martin. The screenplay, written by Herbert Dalmas, was credited also to Kressmann <mask>.In Russian, there was another screenplay by David Greener, but it was never filmed. From 1947, <mask> taught humanities, journalism and creative writing at Gettysburg College, in

 Pennsylvania, and, when <mask> died in 1953, lived as a widow. Retiring in 1966, she moved to Florence, Italy and wrote Diary of Florence in Flood, inspired by the great flood of the Arno river in November of that year. In 1967, <mask> married the American sculptor John Rood. Thereafter, they lived half a year in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and half in Val de Pesa, near Florence. <mask> continued this style of living after her second husband's death in 1974. In 1995, when <mask> was 91, Story Press reissued Address Unknown to mark the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps.The story was subsequently translated into 20 languages, with the French version selling 600,000 copies. The book finally appeared in Germany in 2001, and was reissued in Britain in 2002. In Israel, the Hebrew edition was a best-seller and was adapted for the stage. There has already been over 100 performances of the stage show, and it was filmed for TV and broadcast on the occasion of Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27. Rediscovered after Address Unknown'''s reissue, <mask> spent a happy final year signing copies and giving interviews until her death at age 93. Works

 Address Unknown (1938)

Martin, a gentile, returns with his family to Germany, exhilarated by the advances in the old country since the humiliation of the Great War. His business partner, Max, a Jew, remains in the States to keep the business going.The story is told entirely in letters between them, from 1932 to 1934. Martin writes about the "wonderful" Third Reich and a man named "Hitler." At first Max is covetous: "How I envy you! ... You go to a democratic Germany, a land with a deep culture and the beginnings of a fine political freedom." Max soon however

Martin responds, telling Max that, while they may be good friends, everybody knows that Jews have been the universal scapegoats, and "a few must suffer for the millions to be saved." "This Jew trouble is only an incident," Martin writes."Something bigger is happening." Nonetheless, he asks Max to stop writing to him. If a letter were intercepted, he (Martin) would lose his official position and he and his family would be endangered. Max continues to write regardless when his own sister, Griselle, an actress in Berlin, goes missing. He becomes frantic to learn her fate. Martin responds on bank stationery (less likely to be inspected) and tells Max his sister is dead. He admits that he turned Griselle away when she came to him, her brother's dearest friend, for sanctuary – she had foolishly defied the Nazis and was being pursued by SA thugs.(It is revealed earlier in the book that Martin and Griselle had had an affair before the events of the book take place.) After a gap of about a month, Max starts writing to Martin at home, carrying only what looks like business and remarks about the weather, but writing as though they have a hidden encoded meaning, with strange references to exact dimensions of pictures and so on. The letters refer to "our grandmother" and imply that Martin is also Jewish. The letters from Munich to San Francisco get shorter and more panicky, begging Max to stop: "My God, Max, do you know what you do? ... These letters you have sent ... are not delivered, but they bring me in and ... demand I give them the code ... I beg you,


texts: Max, no more, no more!Stop while I can be saved." Max however continues, "Prepare these for distribution by March 24th: Rubens 12 by 77, blue; Giotto 1 by 317, green and white; Poussin 20 by 90, red and white." The letter is returned to Max, stamped: Adressat unbekannt. Addressee Unknown. (The title of the book is actually a mistranslation of Adressat unbekannt:  The correct translation of "Adressat" is "addressee," not "address"; which is much more in keeping with the plot of the story.) The book's afterword, lovingly written by <mask>'s son, reveals that the idea for the story came from a small news article: American students in Germany wrote home with the truth about the Nazi atrocities, a truth most Americans, including Charles Lindbergh, would not accept. Fraternity brothers thought it would be funny to send them letters making fun of Hitler, and the visiting students wrote back, "Stop it.We’re in danger. These people don’t fool around. You could murder [someone] by writing letters to him." Thus emerged the idea of "letter as weapon" or "murder by mail. "Address Unknown was performed as a stage play in France, 2001, in Israel from 2002 (where it still runs) and at the Promenade Theater in New York in 2004. It has also been performed in Germany, Italy, Turkey, Argentina, South Africa and in various other US cities.

The novel recounts the story of Karl Hoffmann, a young German Christian and son of a Lutheran pastor. Hoffman starts his theology studies in Berlin in the late 1920s. Germany is still in a depression following its defeat in World War I, and this situation is the soil from which Nazism's influence grows.Hitler comes to power and starts persecutions against the Church, which refuses to preach the Nazi doctrine. Karl's father resists the authorities, and this resistance becomes the cause of his death. Karl, in his turn, continues his father's struggle and takes a stand against the Nazi takeover of the Church. He decides to become a pastor himself, but his ordination is denied. His life becomes endangered, and he escapes to the United States. The novel is also based on the life of a real person, Leopold Bernhard. <mask> <mask> met him through the mediation of the FBI, which had investigated the young German after his defection to the United States.Selected works

Antonio Sánchez Rendón (born September 4, 1954), is a retired Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler best known under the ring name <mask> (Spanish for "The Symbol"). Rendón was part of Los Misioneros de la Muerte ("The Missionaries of Death") with Negro Navarro and El Texano a team that is credited with popularizing the Trios match in Mexico to the point that it became the most common match for in Mexican Lucha Libre. Sánchez made his professional wrestling debut in 1971 and officially retired in 2010, after 38 years of active competition. At least one of Sánchez's children is also a professional wrestler, working under the name Hijo del Signo ("Son of the Sign", born 1985) since 2008. Personal life
Most wrestlers in Mexico try to maintain a separation between their professional career and their personal life, which is also true of Antonio Sánchez Rendón, confirming only the most basic details of his life such as birth age and location etc. He was born on September 4, 1954 in Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca, Mexico and trained for his professional wrestling career under Billy Robinson, Chamaco Azteca and El Carnicero. Sánchez has at least one child, a son born in 1985 who now wrestled as the enmascarado, or masked character Hijo del Signo, but since he is an enmascarado his birth name is reported on out of respect of lucha libre traditions.It is not documented if he has other children or if he is still married to the mother of Hijo del Signo. Professional wrestling career
Sánchez made his professional wrestling debut on September 16, 1971 a few weeks after turning 17 years old. He began wrestling as the enmascarado character "<mask>" ("The Sign"), wearing a mask (most often black) with an upside down question mark on the front of it. Sánchez started his wrestling career in the lighter weight divisions, often in the Lightweight or Welterweight divisions, where the official limits were around

In late 1978 <mask> vacated the UWA World Lightweight Championship for unexplained reasons, although the most likely being that he moved up into the Welterweight division and was too heavy to be considered a Lightweight. On June 24, 1979 <mask>o won the UWA World Welterweight Championship from Bobby Lee, fully establishing him as a Welterweight wrestler. Los Misioneros de la Muerte

In the late 1970s the UWA promoters were noticing that rival EMLL had achieved financial and critical success with their lighter divisions, often having Lightweights or Welterweights in their main events while the UWA relied primarily on their heavyweight division for their main event matches. promoter Francisco Flores wanted to develop his own group of smaller, faster wrestlers into top level competitors and came up with the idea to team El Signo up with two similar sized wrestlers Miguel Calderón Navarro, known as Negro Navarro and Juan Conrado Aguilar Jáuregui, who was working under the name El Texano, forming a trie known as Los Misioneros de la Muerte ("The Missionaries of

They were paired up against another trio of young, lightweight and high flying wrestlers, a trio of brothers dubbed Los Mosqueteros de Diablo (The Devil's Musketeers), Brazo de Oro ("Golden Hand"), Brazo de Plata ("Silver Arm") and El Brazo ("The Arm"). Early on in the storyline Brazo de Oro defeated El Texano in a Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match, which forced El Texano to unmask.The storyline expanded and saw the unmasked Misionaros clash with the masked Mosqueteros on UWA promoted cards all over Mexico. The fan reception to those matches and the positive coverage in various Lucha Libre magazines was so big that other promoters around Mexico wanted to book them on their shows, not as individuals but as teams, which was the start of the trios match becoming more and more prominent in Lucha Libre. With the team being so in demand UWA started to feature Los Misioneros more often that by 1981 Los Misioneros began working high on the card, often working the main event match starting a trend of having trios matches instead of singles matches as the regular main event match format, something that helped make that match format the most common match type in Lucha Libre since then. In 1981 the Los Misioneros de la Muerte name became a household name after a match in El Toreo de Quatro Caminos, UWA's main venue. During the main event Los Misioneros faced off against then 64-year-old <mask>, who was teaming up with Huracán Ramírez and Rayo de Jalisco. During the match <mask> collapsed in the middle of the ring, suffering a heart attack after a hard blow to the chest. His life was only saved due to the actions of Ramírez who administered CPR at ringside.After the match the Lucha Libre magazinez, prompted by Francisco Flores, played off the real life tragedy by promoting Los Misioneros as the team that nearly killed the biggest name in Lucha Libre ever. The event made the team the most hated
