He is renowned for his contribution in the late 1960s and early 1970s to the bureaucratic analysis of decision making, especially during times of crisis. His book Remaking Foreign Policy: The Organizational Connection, co-written with Peter Szanton, was published in 1976 and had some influence on the foreign policy of the administration of President Jimmy Carter who took office in early 1977. Since the 1970s, <mask> has also been a leading analyst of U.S. national security and defense policy, with a special interest in nuclear weapons and terrorism. Biography
<mask> is from Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended Davidson College for two years, then graduated from Harvard University in 1962 with an B.A. degree.<mask> then completed a two-year B.A. degree at Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar in 1964 and returned to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. degree in political science in 1968. In 1979 <mask> received an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Social Sciences at Uppsala University, Sweden. <mask> has spent his entire academic career at Harvard, as an assistant professor (1968), associate professor (1970), then full professor (1972) in the department of government. He was dean of the John F. Kennedy School of Government from 1977 to 1989 while the School increased in size by 400% and its endowment increased by 700%. He was director for the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs from 1995 until 2017, when he was succeeded by former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter. <mask> remains Douglas Dillon Professor of Government.<mask> has also been a fellow of the Center for Advanced Studies (1973–74); consultant for the RAND Corporation; member of the Council on Foreign Relations; member of the visiting committee on foreign policy studies at the Brookings Institution (1972–77); and a member of the Trilateral Commission (1974–84 and 2018). He was among those mentioned to succeed David Rockefeller as President of the Council on Foreign Relations. In 2009 he was awarded the NAS Award for Behavior Research Relevant to the Prevention of Nuclear War from the National Academy of Sciences. <mask> has also been a member of the Board of Trustees for the lobbying group USACC (United States-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce). Analyst work
<mask> has been heavily involved in U.S. defense policy since working as an advisor and consultant to the Pentagon in the 1960s. He has been a member of the Secretary of Defense's Defense Policy Board from 1985. He was a special advisor to the Secretary of Defense (1985–87) and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy and Plans (1993–1994), where he coordinated strategy and policy towards the states of the former Soviet Union.President Bill Clinton awarded <mask> the Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service, for "reshaping relations with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan to reduce the former Soviet nuclear arsenal". He was also an informal advisor to Michael Dukakis's 1988 presidential campaign. Academic 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, the Journal of Chinese Political Science dedicated a special issue to the topic, suggesting power transition narratives do appear to matter with regard to domestic perception. Books

<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 has misgivings about his friend's new enthusiasms, having heard from eyewitnesses who had gotten out of Berlin that Jews were being beaten and their businesses boycotted. 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, 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. Address Unknown (Cimzett Ismeretlen) premiered on the stage of Spinoza Haz in Budapest, Hungary on September 6, 2008 and was performed in the Tron Theatre Glasgow as part of the Mayfesto season from 15 to 22 May 2010.It was performed at the Koninklijke Schouwburg in the Hague in the Netherlands in May 2011. In 2013 it was brought to the Soho Theatre in London. An adaptation for BBC Radio 4 was broadcast in June 2008 as an Afternoon Play. It starred Henry Goodman as Max and Patrick Malahide as Martin and was adapted and directed by Tim Dee. Until That Day (1942)
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  and . In 1974 <mask>o lost a Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match to Gatúbedo and as a result was forced to unmask and reveal his birth name as per Lucha Libre traditions. While he had unmasked he retained the ring name <mask> and began working for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), one of two major wrestling promotions in Mexico (the other being Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL)). In the UWA he defeated <mask> to win the UWA World Lightweight Championship, his first championship ever.During that time period he formed a regular tag team with Lobo Rubio, and the two hand an extended storyline feud with the team of <mask>o and Black Man that started with the UWA title match and came to an end on January 29, 1978 when <mask> and Lobo Rubio lost a tag team Luchas de Apuestas match and both were forced to be shaved bald as a result. 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 Death"). 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 trio in Mexico for years to come and helped fill El Torero arena to the brim when Los Misioneros teamed up with Perro Aguayo to face <mask> Santo, Gory Guerrero, Huracán Ramírez and <mask>rio in <mask>'s retirement match. Following Santo's retirement Los Misioneros feuded with the top faces (wrestlers portraying "good guy" characters) such as Los Tres Caballero (Aníbal, <mask>rio and Villano III) both in trios and in individual competition. During the storyline <mask>itario turned on his two partners, when he attacked <mask>o with a bottle and costing Los Tres Caballeros an important match. The attack made the smaller Los Misioneros more sympathetic to the crowd, who began to support them more and more despite Los Misioneros being booked on the shows as heel characters ("bad guys"). On June 10, 1983 <mask>o won the UWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Championship from El Solitario as part of their long running storyline, marking the third division <mask> had won the UWA title in. He would later be stripped of the title for making an unsanctioned title defense on a non-UWA show.Their popularity as a trio also led to them being invited to tour Japan, facing off against New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) light weight wrestlers such as Gran Hamada, Tiger Mask, George Takano, Akira Maeda and Osamu Kido. In 1984 Los Misioneros won the UWA World Trios Championship for the first time, although it is not documented for exactly how long. On January 1, 1985 Negro Navarro won his first singles championship, the UWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Championship, when he defeated the then champion Aníbal. The title run only lasted 50 days, ending on February 25, 1985 when he lost to Mano Negra. In the mid-1980s the "War" between the UWA and EMLL had cooled off enough for Los Misionerios to actually wrestle on the EMLL 53rd Anniversary Show, losing a trios Luchas de Apuestas to Ringo Mendoza, Américo Rocca and Tony Salazar. Los Misionerios regained the UWA World Trios Championship in 1987 defeating Los Villanos (Villano III, Villano IV and Villano V), after what was considered the "peak" of Los Misionerios. With an influx of other popular trios both in the UWA and in Mexico in general Los Misioneros days on the top of the Trios scene came to an end, which was followed by the end of Los Missioneros de la Muerte in its original form.During a UWA World Trios Championship match against Los Villanos El Texano threw in the towel to save his partner <mask>o any more punishment. After the match and title loss his partners turned on <mask> and attacked him after the match. The attack was done primarily to write <mask> out of the UWA storyline as he had given notice that he was leaving. UWA Promoter Francisco Flores decided to try to keep the Los Misioneros de la Muerte team active even after the departure of <mask>ano and experimented with a number of different partners for Navarro and <mask>. Teaming with the masked wrestler Black Power Los Misioneros defeated Los Villanos (Villano I, Villano IV and Villano V) to win the UWA Trios Championship. Negro Navarro won the UWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship from <mask> Guerrero on December 27, 1993 and would hold that title until the promotion closed in 1995. The trio held on to the Trios Championship for 454 days, until May 1, 1993 where they lost them to El Engendro, <mask> Guerrero and Scorpio, Jr., they regained the championship later that year, on December 25 and held them into 1994 where they lost the belts back to Engendro, Shu el Guerrero and Scorpio, Jr. Black Power was later replaced by Rocky Santana and that version of Los Misioneros did win the UWA World Trios Championship on two occasions, holding the distinction of being the last team to hold the titles before the UWA closed in 1995.After the end of the UWA Los Misioneros made a few appearances for AAA, UWA's successor of sorts and one of the two biggest wrestling promotions in Mexico along with CMLL. The appearances included a match at Triplemanía III-A where a version of Los Misioneros (Navarro, <mask> and a masked wrestler called "Misionero") defeated the team of <mask>ero, El Mexicano and Dragón de Oro. Independent Circuit
After the closure of the UWA in 1995 Negro Navarro and <mask> split up, going their separate ways on the Independent circuit, only teaming together for special occasions. <mask> joined AAA and was given a new ring character, a masked heel character called "Piromaniaco" (Pyromaniac) but he only made a few appearances under that name before reverting to his unmasked El Signo identity. In 1996 <mask>o began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; previously known as EMLL) during a time where CMLL were given the rights to the Mexican National Trios Championship by the Mexican boxing and wrestling commission. <mask> teamed up with Blue Panther and Fuerza Guerrera, two wrestlers with a similar background and age to compete in the tournament for the titles. On July 6, 1996 the team defeated El Brazo, Brazo de Plata and Super Electra in the tournament finals to win the championship.During his time in CMLL he had an occasion to team up with Negro Navarro again, for the Salvador Lutteroth Memorial Tag Tournament held as part of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; formerly known as EMLL)'s 1999 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth show on March 19, 1999. Navarro and <mask> teamed up to represent the "old school" wrestlers of Lutteroth's era and defeated Olímpico and Tony Rivera in the first round of the tournament. In the semi-finals they lost to eventual tournament winners Mr. Niebla and Shocker. <mask> stopped working full-time for CMLL in 1999 or 2000, despite still being part of the Mexican National Trios Championship team, leaving the title to be mainly inactive and not highly promoted. <mask>o made a special appearance for CMLL on March 3, 2001 on their Juicio Final ("Final Justice") show, losing the Mexican National Trios Championship to Mr. Niebla, Olímpico and Safari. In 2003 <mask>o worked a number of matches for AAA, including a match where the original Los Misioneros were reunited for AAA's 2003 Guerra de Titanes show where they defeated El Brazo, Sangre Chicana and Pirata Morgan. In the following years <mask>o primarily worked on the Mexican independent circuit, wrestling other wrestlers who were considered "Old School", wrestlers who made their debut in the mid-1980s or before.He had a number of matches against Villano III, including at least two occasions where he lost a Luchas de Apuestas against him. <mask> had his last professional wrestling match on May 1, 2010 as he participated in a ten-man steel cage match that was the main event of the "El Signo Retirement Show" in Arena Neza. The match saw Halcon Dorado, Jr. lose the match and was forced to unmask. Championships and accomplishments

<mask><mask><mask> (born 24 October 1951 in Solothurn) is a Swiss rock musician, record producer, author, columnist, radio and television presenter. He is best known for being a member and founder of the hard rock band, Krokus. History

Childhood, youth and first experiences as a musician (1951–1975)

<mask>, along with his half-brother <mask>, comes from a middle-class family in Solothurn, where he spent most of his childhood. His first musical experience <mask>r gained at his parents piano. During his school years in mostly local schools (apart from a brief interlude at a boarding school Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz - where he was able to play drums for the very first time), <mask>'s father gave him his first drum set as a gift. In 1967, he formed his first band called The Scouts. The band changed names multiple times, from Tears Of Love to In and finally Indian Summer.With this formation the young drummer also completed his first public appearance at a student ball in the Hotel Krone in Solothurn. After a two-year stint at the public business school in Neuchâtel von Rohr founded more bands: first, the Plastic Joints and thereafter Inside. Meanwhile, the musician <mask>r kept himself financially afloat as a cook in the Solothurn Restaurant & Hotel Kreuz - the first Genossenschaftsbeiz of Switzerland. After a for <mask>r in terms of musical style all in all very unpleasant but at least financially lucrative short stint with a dance band called On the Road, he and their keyboarder Michi Szabo formed the two- man band Night Train. However, all these attempts to make it in the professional music business failed and so <mask>r worked again as a cook at the Restaurant Kreuz, followed by a semester at the Jazz School in Bern. Rise and international breakthrough with Krokus (1975–1983)
After finishing studies at the Jazz School, <mask> returned to Solothurn to form another band in November 1975: Krokus. Their first public gig was opening for Nella Martinetti at the Saalbau of the Swiss town of Gerlafingen.Together with lead guitarist Tommy Kiefer, with whom drummer <mask>r alternated lead vocals, rhythm guitarist Hansi Droz and bassist Remo Spadino finally the very progressive debut album Krokus. was recorded and released in 1976, produced by Peter J. Mac Taggart. With the rights to the band name Krokus secured and his bandmates unceremoniously released, he formed a new alliance with band members of the local band Montezuma, changing the line-up of Krokus completely: <mask> himself took over lead vocals, <mask> Arb played guitar, on bass Jürg Naegeli and Freddy Steady on the drums. Shortly thereafter, guitarist Tommy Kiefer was brought back to the line-up and the band was complete once again. With this line-up the band recorded once more at the Sinus Studio in Bern, produced again by Peter J. Mac Taggart and released in 1977 their second studio album To You All, which was released in 1977 and revealing for the first time a hard rock sound. With the same line-up, still with <mask> as front man, Krokus recorded their third, totally hard rock album Pain Killer, which was also released as Pay It In Metal. This album was recorded within six days in Manor Studios in Oxford in 1978, and produced by <mask> and <mask>.Although <mask>r received from Switzerland's Pop Magazine (the equivalent of Rolling Stone magazine in the USA) the "Golden Hammer Award" as #1 vocalist and Krokus #1 rock band of the year in their home country of Switzerland, the band's future musical direction changed once more when all band members witnessed a concert by AC/DC at the Volkshaus in Zürich. Consequently, <mask>r had a vision and he voluntarily surrendered his vocal duties first to Henry Fries, who had to bow out because of prior contractual obligations, and finally - after persistent recruiting attempts by <mask>r himself  - found in Marc Storace the singer with the powerful vocal range he envisioned. <mask> switched to bass and Jürg Naegeli was in charge of the band's keyboards and sound. The last missing piece of the puzzle fell in place with this new line-up for the perfect Krokus sound. Soon thereafter, the band recorded their fourth studio album Metal Rendez-Vous at Platinum One Studio in Zurich, produced by Martin Pearson, <mask> and <mask>. This album proved to be the band's international breakthrough. Triple-platinum in Switzerland and first concert tours in Great Britain and the United States followed, including the "percussion battle" between <mask>r and drummer Freddy Steady.Immediately after the touring ended, the band went into Roundhouse Studios in London to work on their fifth studio album, which was again produced by <mask> and <mask>, to be finally released in 1981 as Hardware. As with its predecessor, the album turned out to be a total success and earned gold status in Switzerland. As a result of continuing drug problems and unreliability of lead guitarist Kiefer, the first cracks in the band's structure became obvious and could not be ignored any longer. Although the band continued to rise in popularity. After the release of the album, the band and Kiefer went separate ways. Mandy Meyer replaced Kiefer for the tours throughout Europe and the USA. However, Krokus and Meyer went their separate ways immediately after completion of the tour.Without further ado rhythm guitarist Mark Kohler joined the band. This line-up eventually recorded at the Battery Studios in London - produced by Tony Platt, <mask> and <mask> - their sixth studio album One Vice at a Time. Released in 1982, it not only validated the status of Krokus but raised it one notch higher. The album reached gold status not only in Switzerland but for the first time in the band's history earned gold status in the U.S. and Canada. On top of that Krokus set another record as the first and so far only Swiss band ever to sell out the Hallenstadion in Zurich. More extensive tours through North America and Europe followed the album release. In between all of Krokus' touring commitments, <mask>r managed to find time to produce Night Fighting, Steve Whitney Band's second studio album, this time as the sole producer in charge.Meanwhile, Krokus lineup changes continued: Drummer Steady was dismissed and replaced by Steve Pace. What followed, however, was nothing less than the culmination and highlight of the band's career : the seventh studio album Headhunter, recorded by Tom Allom at Bee Jay Studio in Orlando, Florida and released in 1983. This album earned for the first time and, unmatched until now, platinum status in the U.S. and Canada, and also gold in Switzerland. As a result of this album's success, the band was invited to join the second-largest U.S. tour of the year as "special guests": The Pyromania tour of British rock band Def Leppard, who became popular in the U.S. at that time, and Gary Moore as opening act. During this time, <mask> and his bandmates were also appointed honorary citizens of the U.S. state of Tennessee. Even though, or perhaps because of the wave of success the band enjoyed at this time, within the next few months two serious negative experiences changed the course of events once more: First, Krokus was kicked off the Pyromania tour because of several missteps by singer Marc Storace and band manager Butch Stone - the band eventually finished their North American tour as supporting act of Judas Priest - and on the other hand another wave of line-up changes. First rhythm guitarist Mark Kohler was dismissed and replaced by Patrick Mason, and finally <mask>, the last remaining founding member of the band, was ousted because he openly talked to Switzerland's daily newspaper Blick about his experience on the road and the tour excesses that followed as well as his rebellion against the business antics of their U.S. manager Stone.Forced reorientations: activities as music producer, author and solo artist (1983–1987)
Dismissed by Krokus at once, <mask> Rohr found himself on his own overnight. During this period, the ousted bass player and founder of the band took on diverse projects: firstly, he produced in 1985 the first and only self-titled studio album of the Swiss band Headhunter. In addition to his first official job as a producer, Von Rohr also started to write his first book, which was published in 1991 and entitled Hunde wollt ihr ewig rocken (Dogs, do you want to rock forever). The book described the insane events around and within Krokus and helped him to process that entire experience mentally, thus finding closure. In addition, <mask>r released his first and so far only solo album  Hammer and Tongue in 1987. Brief return to Krokus (1987–1989)
Shortly after releasing his solo album, <mask>r returned to Krokus in 1987. Plain and simply stated, it turned out to be the best solution for all parties involved.Together again at last, <mask> and his old bandmates Marc Storace, <mask> Arb, Mark Kohler and Dani Crivelli, who played drums on his solo album, recorded at Jürg Naegeli’s Pink recording studio in Zuchwil their tenth studio album. Produced by <mask> and <mask>, Krokus released Heart Attack in 1988. The album charted 5th place in the Swiss album charts, a first for <mask> and Krokus. It was the return to Hard Rock, which had catapulted the band in the early 1980s into the worldwide spotlight and away from the shallow pop-metal orientation the band presented itself on the previous album, Change of Address. However, after touring throughout Europe and the United States, all parties realized shortly thereafter that the thrill was gone, mainly it seemed to be impossible to restore the feeling and groove of the past. Mounting management problems and both Marc Storace and <mask> Arb throwing in the towel due to symptoms of extreme fatigue and exhaustion, marked the first official break-up in the band's history. Various activities as a musician, journalist and radio host (1989–1991)
After the dissolution of Krokus, <mask> <mask> worked under the pseudonym J. LaCross as producer of the first studio album Metal Marathon by a band called The Heavy’s.This album consisted of a collection of shortened and re-arranged classic rock and metal cover medleys. Shortly thereafter, <mask>r founded a band called Grand Slam with Peter Tanner on vocals as well as lead guitarist Many Maurer, rhythm guitarist Tony Castell and drummer Peter Haas. With this group he toured Germany, Austria and Hungary – mainly playing material from his solo album - until he left the band in late 1989. Meanwhile, <mask>r already worked as a radio moderator on the very popular “Radio 24”, a regional radio station of Zurich, and “Radio 32”, a regional station from Solothurn. Amongst others, he hosted the show Volles Rohr (Full Power). He also wrote articles for various music magazines. First book bestseller and success as discoverer, coach and producer of Gotthard (1991–2002)

In 1991, Von Rohr finally published his first book, which he

 started writing right after his dismissal from Krokus.An autobiography entitled Hunde wollt ihr ewig rocken (Dogs, do you wanna rock forever) that gave the reader a direct, honest and genuine insight to the childhood and youth of the musician as well as behind the scenes recollections during his rock star days with Krokus. Subsequently, the literary work, in which the author recalls the highs and lows of his career in his own words, became a cult book and bestseller not only for rock and metal fans. That same year, <mask> <mask> also started his collaboration with the Swiss hard rock band Gotthard, via their band manager Marco Antognini. This cooperation turned out to be the beginning of a success story for both sides, as already the first, released in 1992, self-titled studio album Gotthard reached a significant chart position by making it to #5 in the Swiss charts. A year later, besides his duties with Gotthard, <mask> also re-released his 1987 solo album Hammer and Tongue, this time however under the title The Good, The Bad and The Dög including the bonus track "See You Walking". Following this reissue, <mask>’s focus was again entirely on Gotthard and what followed was, despite or because of persistent internal tensions - at least in Switzerland - a single musical triumph. All of the following studio and live albums of the band, produced by <mask>r, particularly  Dial Hard in 1994, G. in 1996, D-Frosted  in 1997 and Open in 1999 reached number 1 in the Swiss album charts.Moreover, even several singles were able to rank in the music charts of the Alpine republic of Switzerland. After that <mask>r participated on the ninth studio album of Polo Hofer & The Schmetterband (a Swiss dialect band) called  Härzbluet, which was released in January 2000. The two songs "Es saftigs Müntschi" and "Bärner” were both co-composed and co-produced by <mask>r. Through his connections in the music biz <mask>r initiated and produced the song "Who's gonna shoe your pretty little foot", a duet by Polo Hofer with the U.S. blues musician Willy DeVille. This short detour into Swiss dialect collaborations was followed by a very significant private event of the successful musician and producer: the birth of his daughter Jewel in 2001. Nevertheless, there was no resting on his laurels - on the contrary: With the studio album Homerun in 2001, which included the number-one single "Heaven", and the compilation One Life One Soul: Best of Ballads in 2002, he produced two other releases with Gotthard, which in turn landed at # 1 on the Swiss album charts. However, despite the successful joint working relationship over the last 11 years, that had its up’s and down’s and was not always easy for both sides, band and mentor <mask>r parted ways anno 2002.Second bestseller, "Meh Dräck" and varied activities (2002–2008)

Following the separation with Gotthard and with respect to his varied activities, a very all-around phase was about to begin. While he was working on his second book, he served as co-producer on Trybguet, the fifth studio album by Swiss dialect band Patent Ochsner, which was released in February 2003. This album jumped to # 1 in the Swiss album charts. Finally, in November 2003, his second literary work Bananenflanke (the second part of his autobiography) was published and rather quickly turned out to be another best seller for <mask>r. At the same time, his first bestseller, Hunde wollt ihr ewig rocken was released as a five-CD audiobook. On top of that <mask>r started in November 2003 his TV career as a juror in the first series of the talent show MusicStar that was broadcast by Swiss TV’s SF zwei. During this time, a documentary was published in February 2004 entitled Krokus: As Long as We Live, which dealt with the turbulent history of Krokus in an informative and multi-perspective way by letting people that were part of this journey tell their story in their own way.The creation of this film ultimately initiated the reconciliation of <mask> <mask> and <mask> Arb - and the subsequent reunion of the original line-up of Krokus. Von Rohr earned even more popularity with his slogan "Meh Dräck" during a broadcast of MusicStar, when he discouraged candidates to continue a music career due to their lackluster performance. The cult status that evolved because of his saying, convinced him eventually to write a song with the same title. This was ultimately released as a single and Meh Dräck! reached number 14 in the Swiss Singles Chart. Furthermore, «Meh Dräck» was even chosen as "word of the year 2004" in Switzerland. From December 2004 to February 2005 <mask>r appeared again as a juror in the second season of the talent show Music Star.Meanwhile, he also produced the live recorded acoustic album of the band Lovebugs, which also shot to # 1 in the Swiss album charts. After completion of the second season, <mask> eventually left Musicstar to get back to work as a radio moderator. The broadcast VollRohr – Rock’n’Talk (full power ahead - Rock'n'Talk) was heard from May 2005 to June 2006 on various radio stations in Switzerland. Alternating with Peter Bichsel, Peter Scholl-Latour and Helmut Hubacher, <mask> started in 2005 also to write each month's column Notabene for the magazine Schweizer Illustrierte. Meanwhile, he additionally started in October 2005 together with Roman Kilchsperger on SF two a late-night TV show called  Black’n’Blond. Here, at the first broadcast of the show, <mask> got the attention of the Swiss television viewers my mooning the camera. However, the producers of the Schweizer Fernsehen (Swiss television) show were not convinced about the sustainability in the long run and Black’n’Blond was incidentally cancelled in September 2006.But <mask>'s absence on TV was short-lived, as he could be seen from October to December 2006 as a juror in the uniquely produced talent show  Superstar, which was broadcast on Swiss TV channel 3+. In December 2007 - despite Marc Storace still touring with the then active line-up of Krokus - an increased movement to revive the classic line-up of Krokus started when the Storace, <mask>, <mask> and Steady performed in the Swiss TV show Die grössten Schweizer Hits (The Greatest Swiss Hits of All Time). After their performance and a standing ovation, the original members of the band were presented with the Diamond Award for over a million records sold in Switzerland. After that event, an artistic pause was announced on the band's own website. Return of original Krokus line-up and third bestseller (2008–present)

Following the artistic pause, Krokus re-formed in the same line-up that at the end of 2007 performed in the TV show Die grössten Schweizer Hits, i.e. frontman Storace, guitarist <mask>, bassist <mask>r and drummer Steady. Shortly thereafter, the return of rhythm guitarist Mark Kohler was announced, and the original line-up that recorded the 1982 album  One Vice at a Time was reunited at last.Subsequently, the original Krokus line-up performed their much acclaimed reunion concert at the Stade de Suisse football stadium in Bern; then the band contributed the anthem for the Hockey World Cup, that was held in 2009 in Switzerland, called "Live for the Action". Next started the work on Krokus' 16th studio album called Hoodoo, which was recorded mostly at the House of Audio in Winterbach and <mask> himself is credited as the producer of the album, which was released in February 2010. It was the second time only in the history of Krokus that the album debuted at No.1 on the Swiss album charts and ultimately earned the band platinum status in their home country. Following the release of the album, the band played numerous large festivals and a few headlining shows in Europe until late December 2010. Simultaneously <mask>r found himself again in front of a TV audience as of July 2010, hired as a profiler of 3sat and their broadcast Tonspur – Der Soundtrack meines Lebens (Soundtrack - The soundtrack of my life). Before the preparations on a new album of Krokus could take place, <mask> <mask> published his third book Sternenstaub (Stardust) in October 2011, which includes some of the columns he had written over the years for the renowned magazine "Schweizer Illustrierte". The literary work of the multi-talented, most successful rock musician and producer in all of Switzerland even jumped to No.9 of the Swiss Fiction Book Charts and therefore established itself as a bestseller, like his two autobiographies Hunde wollt ihr ewig rocken (Dogs, do you want to rock forever) and Bananenflanke. After <mask>r finished work on 2012 as executive producer of the debut album of Swiss hard rock band Fox, he started recordings of Krokus' seventeenth studio album in the famous Abbey Road Studios in London in the fall of 2012. Again, <mask>r is also credited as producer of Dirty Dynamite, which finally was released in February 2013. Mandy Meyer, who in the meantime had joined the band permanently (again) as third guitarist, was part of the recording of this album. Like his predecessor Hoodoo, it shot straight to No. 1 of the Swiss album charts before earning platinum award status in the Alpine republic of their home country, Switzerland. Krokus followed up with some headlining concerts in Switzerland, during which Flavio Mezzodi was introduced as the band's new regular drummer.In the summer of 2013 the band appeared at several festivals throughout Europe. In January 2014, 35 years after the release of Metal Rendez-Vous, Krokus receive from their record company a 4x Platinum Award. The album, which sold around 3 million copies worldwide and is considered the most successful hard rock album of Switzerland, was co-produced by <mask>r. Last year's 4th sold-out show at the Kofmehl, a.k.a. "The House Of Rust" in their hometown of Solothurn was recorded and the live album, produced by <mask>r, would be released in April/May 2014 in 45 countries around the world as Long Stick Goes Boom: Live From Da House Of Rust. Immediately after release it shot to #3 in the Swiss album charts. This was the first live album of Krokus that <mask>r played on.Starting out the 2014 concert season, the band embarks on a German tour, followed by multiple festivals all over Europe.

Lauro "<mask><mask> (August 18, 1926 – June 24, 2002) was a well-known editorial cartoonist and illustrator in the Philippines. In 2018, he was posthumously conferred the National Artist for Visual Arts title and the Grand Collar of the Order of National Artists (Order ng Pambansang Alagad ng Sining). Biography
He was born on August 18, 1926 to <mask> and Elpidia Zarate in Daraga, Albay. Through a scholarship from Manila Times granted by the publisher Ramón Roces, he obtained a degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at the University of the Philippines (UP) in 1950. He became a professor at the same university from 1951 to 1981. He also received the Australian Cultural Award accompanied by a travel study grant in 1975. He started his cartooning career in 1946 while still attending school.After World War II, he created his very first comic strip, Islaw Palitaw, which was printed on the pages of the Filipino weekly magazine Liwayway. In 1947, he created the comic strip Kalabog en Bosyo, using Taglish as the medium of communication of his characters. He pioneered animated cartoons for television commercials of products such as Darigold Milk in 1957 and Caltex in 1965. His campaign for the advancement of illustration and commercial art in the Philippines resulted to the establishment of the Visual Communication Department at the UP College of Fine Arts. In 1997, the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY) granted him the title Dean of Filipino Cartoonists, an achievement award for his lifetime dedication to the art of capturing humor in the character and everyday life in the Philippines. In 1991, he promoted the formation of a group of young children's book illustrators called Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang INK). All in all, he made over 500 cartoon characters, twenty comic strips, six movies, two murals, and 15,000 published pages in his 56 years of professional cartooning career.He believed in the far-reaching role of cartoons in education and value formation. He died on June 24, 2002 when he was 75. His cartoons
His most popular cartoon series was Slice of Life, which is a reflection of the many unique aspects of everyday life in the Philippines. He captured the interest of his weekend patrons by giving them the task of looking for his image cleverly concealed within the weekend cartoon. He did the same with his other comic strip Kalabog en Bosyo. His cartoons had been tapped in advertising campaigns, such as corporate calendars, print ads, promotional T-shirts and in San Miguel Beer cans. In 1988, his Slice of Life received the Best in Humor award and was also cited for helping to keep alive the Filipino's ability to laugh at himself, through the lively marriage of art and humor, and through commentaries that are at once critical and compassionate, evoking laughter and reflection.Slice of Life appeared on the pages of the Weekend Magazine. Mang Ambo
Mang Ambo is the personification of the Filipino according to <mask>a. Mang Ambo, the character, is an incorrigible cock-eyed innocent, possessing a small town charm amidst urban sophistication. Through Mang Ambo and the other characters of a fictional place called Barrio Bulabog, Alcala exposed the follies and foibles of Philippine society in general and of cosmopolitan life in particular. In this cartoon strip's characters, he also affirmed the Filipino's peculiar coping mechanism of laughing at himself in the face of adversity but still absorbing life's vicissitudes with resilience. Mang Ambo made its debut in 1960 as a full-page feature in the Weekly Graphic. The cartoon series later became the first Alcala comic strip to be compiled in book form.Kalabog en Bosyo
Alcala's most enduring comic strip was Kalabog en Bosyo that first appeared on the pages of Pilipino Komiks in 1947. It eventually became the longest running cartoon series created by a Filipino. Decades before Slice of Life, Alcala was already doing cameo roles in his Kalabog en Bosyo comic strips, but instead of portraying himself with a moustach, spectacles and side burns, he rendered himself in a crew-cut, younger and about 100-pounds thinner profile. An onomatopoeic Tagalog word, the name of the character, Kalabog, refers to the thud sound produced after the impact of a falling object finally reaching solid ground. In Kalabog en Bosyo, Alcala pioneered in the blending of Tagalog and English or Taglish as the medium of communication among his characters. The comic misadventures of the two bungling detectives namely Kalabog and Bosyo had been transposed into films by Sampaguita Pictures in 1957, starring the Filipino actors-comedians, Dolphy and Panchito Alba.

<mask> (born July 30, 1954) is a former Major League Baseball right fielder. He is remembered for having one of the all-time great throwing arms. "There's a plateau where you can't throw the ball any harder and you can't be any more accurate", said former Montreal manager Felipe Alou. "That was <mask>." Montreal Expos

Early years
<mask> played football and baseball at Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles. He was the first professional athlete ever signed out of Crenshaw when the Montreal Expos selected him in the second round of the 1972 Major League Baseball draft. He was quickly recognized as one of the top prospects in the Expos' lauded farm system.He batted .289 with 27 home runs and 195 runs batted in over four different levels in four seasons to earn a September call up to Montreal at the end of the  season. In his fifth major league at-bat, he hit his first major league home run off the Pittsburgh Pirates' Jim Rooker. He remained in the Expos' line-up semi-regularly through the end of the season, posting a .364 batting average. Gary Carter, who was an All-Star and finished second in National League Rookie of the Year balloting as the right fielder for the Expos in 1975, was shifted back to his natural position behind the plate for the  season to make room for <mask> in right field. After batting just .238 with two home runs and six RBIs through the middle of May, he was shipped back to the Triple-A Denver Bears for more seasoning. He rejoined the Expos in mid-July, and batted .285 with five home runs and 33 RBIs the rest of the way. Cromartie & Dawson
On April 15, , <mask> hit the first ever home run at Olympic Stadium.He also hit two inside-the-park home runs for the home crowd during the Expos' inaugural season in their new stadium. Joining him in Montreal's outfield for the 1977 season would be 22-year-old center fielder Andre Dawson and 23-year-old left fielder Warren Cromartie. Their youth, speed and power soon made them the talk of the baseball world. <mask> was the first to emerge as a star; he was the Expos' sole representative at the 1977 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium. Already recognized for his exceptional arm by this point in his career, he engaged in a throwing contest before the game with the Pittsburgh Pirates' Dave Parker, Los Angeles Dodgers' Reggie Smith and San Diego Padres' Dave Winfield, who were also recognized as having the finest throwing arms in the National League. For the season, he batted a team leading .293, and finished second to Gary Carter with 25 home runs and 76 RBIs. He, Cromartie and Dawson turned it up a notch in .<mask> led the major leagues with 25 assists from the outfield to receive a Gold Glove Award as one of the National League's top three defensive outfielders. Meanwhile, Cromartie and Dawson also led their respective positions in outfield assists to give the Expos the unquestionable top defensive outfield in the major leagues. With their bats, <mask> and Dawson tied for the team lead with 25 home runs apiece, <mask> had a team leading 76 RBIs, Dawson scored a team leading 84 runs and Cromartie had a team leading .297 batting average. Suspension
The Expos were in a pennant race for the entire  season, however, <mask>'s 1979 season got off to a bumpy start. He was one-for-three with an RBI in the Expos' match-up with the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on April 21, but that only brought his batting average up to an even .200, and his RBI total to four. In the eighth inning, with two outs and a runner on second, <mask> drew a walk, bringing future Hall of Famer Tony Pérez to the plate. Bruce Sutter induced a ground ball to short; Cubs shortstop Iván DeJesús flipped the ball to second baseman Ted Sizemore to force <mask> at second, and end the threat.<mask> disagreed with the call, and tossed his batting helmet into short right field in frustration. Believing that the helmet was tossed at him, second base umpire Steve Fields ejected <mask> from the game. Outraged, <mask> charged the umpire and bumped him. <mask> received a three-game suspension and $500 fine for his actions. The controversy seemed to do him some good, as he started hitting right after the incident occurred. <mask> hit a pinch hit three-run home run to carry the Expos to a 7–5 victory over the San Francisco Giants in his first game back, and went 12-for-33 with ten RBIs in his first ten games back from his suspension. In the first game of a May 27 doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardinals, he drove in six runs to carry the Expos to an 8–3 victory.In the second game, he drove in a seventh run to establish a club record for RBIs in a doubleheader. The next day, he drove in four runs against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Expos won a franchise best 95 games in 1979 to finish two games back of the Pittsburgh Pirates. For his part, <mask> batted .276 with 21 home runs and a career high 82 RBIs. Shattered cheekbone
On May 30,  <mask> was hit in the face with a pitch by Roy Thomas of the St. Louis Cardinals. His cheekbone cracked in six places, and he was forced to miss over a month of action. At the time of the incident, <mask> was leading his team with 27 RBIs, and was batting just under .300.With slugging third baseman Larry Parrish also out of the line-up with a wrist injury, the Expos did surprisingly well in <mask>'s absence; they went 21–16 to take a half-game lead in the National League East over the Phillies. When <mask> finally returned on July 10, he began wearing part of a football face mask on his helmet. Though it looked strange, it briefly caught on with other players who were worried about similar injuries. He batted .331 with nine home runs and 39 RBIs over the rest of the season, as the Expos found themselves in a three-way race with the Pirates and Phillies in the NL East. <mask> played hurt through much of his team's stretch drive toward the pennant, but he was sidelined for much of it with a pinched nerve, a hip injury and a hand injury. On September 21, <mask> injured his wrist, ending his season. The Expos surrendered first place in the division to the Phillies on the second to last day of the season.New York Mets
<mask> got off to a slow start in . He was batting .211 with three home runs and fifteen RBIs when he was sidelined by a pulled hamstring in his left leg on May 19. He was still on the disabled list when the Expos dealt him to the New York Mets for Jeff Reardon, Dan Norman and a player to be named later. <mask>'s first season at Shea did not go as well as planned. It did, however, have an interesting side effect on the Mets' line-up. Dave Kingman, who batted fourth in the Mets' line-up, began seeing better pitches with <mask> behind him. Over the first sixteen games in which Kingman and <mask> batted fourth and fifth in the line-up, Kingman clubbed seven home runs with sixteen RBIs.<mask>, meanwhile, batted just .176 over that stretch with one home run and seven RBIs. Almost as if National League pitchers realized they had nothing to fear from <mask>'s bat, Kingman began seeing tougher pitching again, and hit just three more home runs over the rest of the season. With new manager George Bamberger and George Foster added to their line-up for , the Mets went into Spring training with high hopes. As things turned out, the Mets narrowly avoided losing one hundred games, and finished last in their division. <mask> went 31 games to start the season without driving in a single run. From there, <mask> put up respectable numbers, seven home runs and 33 RBIs, through the Mets' 6–4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on August 13. After which, <mask> called the New York Mets "the worst organization in baseball" to New York reporters.As one might imagine, this charge did not sit well with Mets management. Bamberger and Mets GM Frank Cashen met with <mask> on August 15, and offered to try to trade the disgruntled outfielder. They were unable to find a taker despite the impressive .327 batting average <mask> put up over the rest of the season. California Angels
<mask> was selected by just one team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, in the MLB re-entry draft when he became a free agent at the end of the season. When the California Angels' Bobby Clark suffered a back injury playing Winter ball in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League, it opened up a vacancy in the Angels' outfield. <mask> signed with his home team on January 21, . After straining his Achilles tendon during Spring training, he failed to make it onto the field for his new club until their 25th game.He appeared in 86 games for the Angels in , batting .240 with thirteen home runs and 43 RBIs. At the end of the season, he signed a multi-year deal with the Angels, however, a bruised heel kept him off the field for the entire  season. He logged just four plate appearances on a rehab assignment with the Edmonton Trappers, and was released at the end of the season. Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers, who were in last place in the American League West and in dire need of offense, signed <mask> to a minor league pact on July 6, . He played well, batting .314 with ten home runs and 33 RBIs in 46 games for the triple A Oklahoma City 89ers, but it did not translate to major league success when he joined the Rangers in September. He was not offered a contract for , but received an invitation to Spring training that he declined, retiring instead. Career stats
