<mask> (January 18, 1850 – September 17, 1916) was an American educator and political figure who served as the 23rd Mayor of Brooklyn, the president of Columbia University, a diplomatic representative of the United States, and the 92nd Mayor of New York City. He was a leading municipal reformer fighting for efficiency during the Progressive Era. Early life

<mask> was the son of <mask> and Ellen Almira Dow. <mask>'s father was a leading China trader, and his father's sister, <mask>, was one of the first young American women to live in China. The <mask> family was old Puritan New England stock, descended from <mask> of Essex County, Massachusetts. <mask> was named after his grandfather <mask> (1782–1853) who moved with his son Abiel to Brooklyn to start a prosperous importing company. When Brooklyn was incorporated as a city in 1834, <mask> the elder was one of the incorporators; he also served on the Board of Aldermen and was first President of the Board of Education.<mask> the elder was also involved with charity and support work for the poor; on his deathbed, he admonished his three-year-old grandson and namesake: "Be kind to the poor." <mask>'s father was a Unitarian, and his mother was an Episcopalian. For years, <mask> wavered between the two faiths. Finally, at age 22, <mask> decided he would henceforth be an Episcopalian. <mask> attended Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn and Columbia College. After graduating from Columbia in 1870, <mask> made a short trip abroad, and then entered the tea and silk house of A. A.Low & Brothers, which had been founded by his father in New York. In 1875, he was admitted a member of the firm, from which, upon its liquidation in 1888, he withdrew with a large fortune. In the mid-1870s, <mask> began to lay the groundwork for his political career by supporting "welfare reform" and the elimination of food and coal disbursements for the poor which caused "starving people" to gather at "warehouses where food was stored" to beg for help. During this period, the reform movement, of which <mask> was a stalwart, denounced emergency assistance of potatoes and flour for the poor. The reduction in welfare assistance for the poor led many to seek shelter in "police station basements" and in city hospitals, and led many poor parents to bring "their children to asylums" and many men to beg on the streets for "charity or work." On December 9, 1880, he married Anne Wroe Scollay Curtis of Boston, daughter of Justice Benjamin R. Curtis of the United States Supreme Court. They had no biological children, but adopted two nieces and a nephew.Mayor of Brooklyn

First term
By 1881 Brooklyn had been governed for years by a corrupt Democratic political machine under Hugh McLaughlin. By this time, a wave of goo-goo (or "good government") sentiment had begun to gain favor, and public sentiment was starting to turn against the incumbent Democratic regime. Brooklyn Republicans sensed an opportunity, but they were split between the "stalwart" candidate Benjamin F. Tracy and reform candidate Ripley Ropes. <mask> had no particular ambition to become Mayor, but his name was brought forth as a compromise, because his wealth and old family name appealed to the "stalwarts" and his reformist views appealed to the reformers. <mask> accepted the nomination at the Republican city convention, making it clear that he would not be a partisan mayor. <mask> defeated the incumbent Democrat James Howell after a two-week campaign, 45,434 votes to 40,937. <mask>'s time in office was marked by a number of reforms:

 <mask>'s major achievement as mayor was to secure a degree of "home rule" of the city.Previously, the State Government dictated city policies, hiring, salaries, and other affairs. <mask> managed to secure an unofficial veto over all Brooklyn bills in the State Assembly. <mask> instituted a number of educational reforms. He was the first to integrate Brooklyn schools. He introduced free textbooks for all students, not just those who had taken a pauper's oath. He instituted a competitive examination for hiring teachers, instead of giving teaching jobs to pay political debts. <mask> set aside $430,000 for the construction of new schools to accommodate 10,000 new students.<mask> introduced Civil Service Code to all city employees, eliminating patronage jobs. German immigrants wanted to enjoy their local beer gardens on the Sabbath, in violation of state "dry" laws and the demands of local puritanical clergy. <mask>'s compromise solution was that saloons could stay open as long as they were orderly. At the first sign of rowdiness, they would be closed. <mask> served as a member of the board of the New York Bridge Company, the company that built the Brooklyn Bridge, and led an unsuccessful effort to remove Washington Roebling as the chief engineer on that project. <mask> raised the tax rate from $2.33 of $100 assessed valuation in 1881 to $2.59 in 1883. He also went after property owners who had not paid back taxes.This increase in city revenue enabled him to reduce the city's debt and increase services. However, raising taxes proved extremely unpopular. Second term
<mask>'s tax increases and non-partisan governing policy lost him a measure of public support. By 1883, fellow Republicans were criticizing <mask> openly, and the press was critical of his tax policy. Although the Democrats ran the weak, nearly unknown candidate Joseph C. Hendrix in 1883, <mask> beat him by a slimmer margin than his first election. Where <mask> won his first term by 5,000 votes, he squeaked by re-election with only a 1,548-vote margin. In 1884, <mask>'s mugwump support of Democrat Grover Cleveland in 1884 furthered the rift with his fellow Republicans.He declined to run for a third term in 1885, and refused to support Republican nominee General Isaac S. Catlin. Instead, he supported a reform candidate, General John R. Woodward. By this time, the public was losing their attraction to reform, and Democrat Daniel D. Whitney won election. With Whitney came the return of Democratic machine politics for another seven years. By 1892, some writers were looking back on <mask>'s tenure as a "Golden Age" of clean government. President of Columbia University

Following his tenure as mayor of Brooklyn, <mask> assumed the presidency of Columbia College, serving between 1890 and 1901. Not an educator in the specific meaning of the word, he succeeded by his administrative skill in transforming the institution.He led the move of the institution from Midtown Manhattan to Morningside Heights, and secured trustee approval to change its name to "Columbia University". The new campus matched <mask>'s vision of a civic university fully integrated into the city; the original design subsequently reconceived, left it open to the street and surrounding neighborhoods. To forge a university, <mask> vitally united the various schools into one organization whose direction was moved from the separate faculties to a university council. Further reforms effected by him include the reorganization of the Law School, the addition of a faculty of pure science, the association of the University with the Teachers College, and the extension of the department of political and social study. In 1895, he gave one million dollars of his inheritance from his father for Low Memorial Library to be built at the new Columbia University campus. It was dedicated to his father and opened in 1897.

International Peace Conference

On July 4, 1899, he was one of the American delegates to attend the International Peace Conference at The Hague. Others in the delegation were Andrew D. White, then the United States Ambassador to the German Empire; Stanford Newel of Minnesota, then the United States Minister to the Netherlands; Captain Alfred Mahan, of the United States Navy; Captain William Crozier, of the United States Army; and Frederick Holls of New York.At the conference, <mask> made the concluding speech, printed two months later in The New York Times, saying:

Mayor of New York City

<mask>'s first campaign for mayor of consolidated New York in 1897 was unsuccessful, partially because of a division among anti-Tammany Hall candidates and parties. However, four years later, he managed to attain office. During his 1901 campaign, he had the support of humorist Mark Twain. He and Twain made a joint appearance that drew a crowd of more than 2,000. In 1902, <mask> resigned as president of the university to become the second mayor of the newly consolidated City of New York. He stands out as the first mayor of Greater New York to be elected on a fusion ticket, with the support of both the Citizens Union and Republican parties. Some of his notable achievements include the introduction of a civil service system — based upon merit — for hiring municipal employees, reducing widespread graft within the police department, improving the system of education within the city, and lowering taxes.Despite these seemingly impressive achievements he only served for two years and was defeated in 1903 by Democrat George B. McClellan Jr.

Later life

He was chairman of the Tuskegee University, formally Tuskegee Institute, a historically black college directed under Booker T. Washington, from 1907 until 1916. From 1907, he was also president of the business-labor alliance the National Civic Federation. Even though he believed in collective bargaining rights, which had customarily been denied to labor unions by those in authority, he did not favor strikes, but rather embraced arbitration as a suitable labor-management negotiation tactic. He was a founder and the first president of the Bureau of Charities of Brooklyn, and was elected vice-president of the New York Academy of Sciences and president of the Archaeological Institute of America. <mask> became interested in the food supply problem, that is its contribution to the constantly increasing cost of living. He became convinced that this difficulty could best be solved by democratic cooperation among farmers and consumers. He was president of the Bedford Farmers' Cooperative Association.He was also one of the founders of the Cooperative Wholesale Corporation of New York City, an organization which seeks to bring about a business federation of all the consumers' cooperative store societies in the eastern United States, but not being in sympathy with the radical tendency of this phase of the cooperative movement, he finally resigned and devoted himself entirely to the agricultural phase of cooperation. <mask> was also a trustee of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D.C. In the Spring of 1916, <mask> became ill with cancer. He died in his home in Bedford Hills, New York, on September 17, 1916. Even his funeral demonstrated the ability of <mask> to reach political consensus, with honorary pallbearers that included both financier and philanthropist J. P. Morgan Jr. and labor activist and AFL founder Samuel Gompers. He is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. The Brooklyn Fire Department operated a fireboat named <mask> from 1885 to 1917.In the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn there is also a playground named after <mask>. In Ridgefield, Connecticut, there is a street named after <mask> called <mask> Mountain Road. Intermediate School 96 in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn is known as <mask> Intermediate School 96. In the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, there is a NYCHA public housing development named <mask> Houses. It consists of four 17 and 18 story buildings. There was a <mask> Low Junior College at Columbia University between 1928 and 1936. See also

Doctor Oberleutnant <mask>OH, IC (23 March 1885 – 24 July 1944) was a German World War I fighter ace credited with 20 aerial victories, including eight against enemy observation balloons. He commanded three different jagdstaffeln (squadrons) as well as a jagdgruppe (fighter wing). After schooling that led him to a doctorate, he performed his military service in 1909-1910. He was an executive in his family's brewery until 1914. Returning to service, he fought in the early stages of World War I and was wounded. After being reassigned to a reserve unit and designated as an ordnance officer, he applied for pilot's training. The aviation service accepted him as an aerial observer in March 1916.He scored two victories while an observer, and survived being shot down. After being trained as a pilot beginning in October 1916, he was assigned as a fighter pilot to Jasta 7. As his personal victory score mounted, he was appointed to various command positions, including that of one of history's first fighter wings. After ten victories, he was severely wounded on 18  October 1917 while engaged in a highly hazardous attack on an observation balloon. He returned to wing command while on crutches in July 1918, and eventually resumed his string of aerial victories the following month. At war's ending, his Blue Max award was still pending when the order was abolished by the German Empire's defeat. Early life and infantry service
<mask> was born in Neunkirchen, Saarland, on 23 March 1885.He was the second son of a brewery owner. Young <mask> began his education in Kreuznach. His secondary schooling complete, he studied in Heidelberg, Paris, and Leipzig. He earned a doctorate at the latter. Following a year's military service, he became an officer in Hussar Regiment 9 in 1910. He then wanted to become a teacher, but the death of his elder brother led him to running the family brewery. At the start of World War I, he was serving in a Jäger Cavalry Regiment 12.Three months into the war, <mask> was transferred to Jäger Infantry Regiment 120 as their adjutant. He went into battle with them as a company commander, and was wounded in action in March 1915. After his wounding, he served with a reserve regiment, being promoted to oberleutnant on 9 October. Further assignments saw him become an ordnance officer. After applying for pilot's training, he then transferred to aviation as an aerial observer in March 1916. Aerial service and victories

As an aerial observer
After a fortnight's trial as an observer with Flieger-Abteilung (Artillerie) 25, <mask> was forwarded for official training. In June 1916, he returned to the unit.He flew over 150 sorties for them. He scored his first two aerial victories while still flying artillery direction missions for FA(A) 25. On 20 June 1916, he downed an enemy aircraft; on 11 July 1916, he shot down an enemy observation balloon. His pilot on this latter occasion was future ace Renatus Theiller, who was credited with the second of his 12 victories. Soon afterwards, he was the victim of a downing. However, on 23 October 1916, <mask> began pilot's training. As a pilot and Staffelführer
In March 1917, he was transferred to Royal Prussian Jasta 7.<mask> continued his career as a balloon buster, by shooting one down on both 25 and 27 June 1917. <mask> took temporary command of Royal Bavarian Jasta 32, from 30 June to 19 August 1917. During this period, he downed a Spad and another balloon for his fifth and sixth victories, becoming an ace in the process. However, he was shifted out of this command because he was not Bavarian. <mask> then moved on to temporarily command Royal Prussian Jasta 29 from 19 August to 18 October 1917. While leading this squadron as Staffelführer, he scored four more victories. His eighth victory, on 11 September, was over Captain Louis Fleeming Jenkin, whom <mask> killed.On 19 September, <mask> was awarded the Knight's Cross with Swords of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern. As a group commander
By 28 September 1917, he had run his victory total to ten; he was subsequently appointed to command of Jagdgruppe II. This fighter wing consisted of Jastas 7, 33, and 35, in addition to Jasta 29. <mask> was severely wounded by ground fire on 18 October 1917 while attacking a balloon. When he came out of the hospital on crutches, he did not return to Jasta 29; instead, after his recovery, he was appointed to command Royal Prussian Jasta 5 on 3 July 1918. Royal Prussian Jasta 5 was re-equipped with new Fokker D.VII fighters. Under <mask>'s leadership, the squadron would notch up over 300 aerial victories, sparked by such aces as <mask>, Josef Mai, and Fritz Rumey.On 8 August, Jasta 5 became part of Jagdgruppe II; <mask> was also reappointed commander of JG II while maintaining his post with Jasta 5. Other squadrons attached to JG 2 at this time included Jastas 34, 37, and 46. <mask> reopened his victory list by shooting down a balloon on 26 August 1918. He then accumulated nine more victories by 4 November, bringing his total to 20. His final tally was twelve enemy airplanes shot down, and eight observation balloons. <mask> had already won both classes of the Iron Cross, as well as the Hohenzollern, but was recommended for Germany's highest decoration for valor, the Blue Max, or Pour le Mérite, at the end of October 1918. However, the war's end left it unconfirmed; some of his victory claims may similarly been left uncredited.The records do show at least three unconfirmed claims by <mask>. After World War I
Doctor <mask> died on 24 August 1944 in his native Neunkirchen, Saarland. Notes

<mask> "Andy" <mask> (; born 9 November 1960) is a German football coach and former football defender. At international level, he is best known for scoring the winning goal for Germany in the 1990 FIFA World Cup Final against Argentina from an 85th-minute penalty kick. At club level, he played for several teams in Germany, and also had spells in Italy and Spain. A versatile attacking full back with an eye for goal, Brehme was capable of playing anywhere along the flank on either side of the pitch, and was known for his crossing ability, ambidexterity, and his accuracy from free-kicks and penalties, possessing a powerful shot. Club career
Brehme was born in Hamburg and started his career with the city's local side HSV Barmbek-Uhlenhorst. He played for 1. FC Kaiserslautern from 1981 to 1986, before moving to Bayern Munich, where he played from 1986 to 1988, winning the Bundesliga in 1987.After that, he joined Italian side Inter Milan, playing there from 1988 to 1992, alongside compatriots Lothar Matthäus and Jürgen Klinsmann, and winning the Serie A in 1989 – also being named player of the year – and the UEFA Cup in 1991. Brehme played the 1992–93 season at Real Zaragoza in La Liga, before returning to Germany once again in 1993 to play for Kaiserslautern once again. He won the German Cup with the club in 1996, although they suffered relegation during the same season; nevertheless, Brehme remained with the team even when they were relegated, playing a key role in the side's immediate promotion the following season. After subsequently winning the Bundesliga with the club in 1998, Brehme ended his playing career as a footballer after having played 301 matches. International career
As a member of the (West) Germany national team, Brehme took part at UEFA Euro 1984, the 1984 Summer Olympics, the 1986 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 1988, the 1990 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 1992, and the 1994 World Cup; he was named to the team of tournament at Euro 84, and helped Germany to the semi-finals of Euro 88, on home soil, scoring a goal in the nation's 1–1 opening draw against Italy. At Euro 1992, he won a runners-up medal, as Germany lost out 2–0 to Denmark in the final; he was once again named to the team of the tournament. Brehme won a runners-up medal at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, as Germany lost the final to Argentina, yet he won the World Cup in 1990 against the same opponents, later being named to the competition's All-star team.In the 1986 World Cup semi-final he scored a deflected free-kick against France, and in the 1990 semi-final he also scored a free-kick goal against England, which also took a deflection off of English defender Paul Parker, however. In the 1990 edition of the tournament, en route to the final, he also previously set up Klinsmann's headed goal in Germany's opening 4–1 against Yugoslavia, and scored the second goal against the Netherlands with a right-footed curler in the second round. In the 1990 World Cup final, a 1–0 victory over Argentina, he scored the goal, a penalty kick with his right foot. The only other penalty kick, taken in open play for Germany, was against England in a 1986 World Cup warm-up match in Mexico. Brehme missed his spot-kick, however, with Peter Shilton saving his shot. Brehme scored in the victorious penalty-shootout against Mexico in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals with his left foot, while he scored his nation's first spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out victory against England in the 1990 World Cup semi-finals with his right foot. Brehme's last of his 86 caps for the national team came during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which ended with a disappointing quarter-final exit for his team after a loss against Bulgaria.Managerial career
After retiring from football, Brehme went on to become a coach. He managed his former club 1. FC Kaiserslautern from 2000 to 2002, when he was dismissed because his team was in danger of being relegated. This was seen as a case of déjà vu, as he was part of the team that was relegated in 1996, but stuck with the team and was a key figure in their immediate promotion and title win the following year. He then managed 2. Bundesliga side SpVgg Unterhaching, but was released from his contract in April 2005, again because the club was in danger of being relegated. He was then assistant coach alongside Giovanni Trapattoni at VfB Stuttgart, but both were sacked after only a few months at the club.Style of play
Though more often a defender, Brehme showed an exceptional knack for getting forward and finding the back of the net throughout his career, possessing an extremely powerful and accurate shot with either foot; his eye for goal is demonstrated by the fact that he scored at every club he played for, as well as the German national side. An efficient attacking full-back or wing-back, Brehme was regarded as one of the best left-backs of his generation; although he was usually deployed on the left side of his team's defensive line, he was a highly versatile player, who was capable of playing anywhere along the flank, on either side of the pitch, and could also play in a more offensive role, as a winger. He was even used in the centre of the pitch on occasion, as a defensive midfielder. Although he was not particularly quick, he was known for his excellent technical ability, stamina, defensive skills, anticipation, and tactical intelligence, as well as his ability to make attacking runs, which enabled him to cover the flank effectively and contribute at both ends of the pitch. A set-piece specialist, Brehme is considered to be one of the greatest free-kick takers and crossers of all time, and was known for his ability to strike the ball with power and swerve. However, Brehme's most distinctive skill was the fact that he was one of the few players in the world who was genuinely ambidextrous, and could play with both feet equally well, making him very valuable as an outfield player; his ability with either foot led his national team manager Franz Beckenbauer to state: "I have known Andy for 20 years and I still don't know if he is right or left-footed". He was well known for taking penalties (although not exclusively) with his right foot and taking free kicks and corners with his left foot; this made him quite an unpredictable player to read during matches.Although he was reportedly naturally left-footed, it is believed that Brehme felt that his right foot was actually more accurate than his left, but that he had a more powerful shot with his "weaker" left foot. This was shown when, in the 1990 World Cup final, Brehme took the spot kick that won West Germany the trophy, with his right foot, but four years earlier, Brehme scored in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final penalty shootout against Mexico with a left foot piledriver. In addition to his abilities as a footballer, Brehme was also highly regarded for his strength of character and composure under pressure, as well as for having the tendency to score "clutch" goals for his team in important games, as demonstrated by his ability to score decisive penalties in World Cup knockout matches, which led him to be considered a "big game player" in the media. Although he was known to be tenacious player, he also stood out for his professionalism throughout his career, both on and off the pitch. Matthäus described Brehme as the best player he played with.

<mask> () is an American pundit and writer for New York magazine. He was previously a senior editor at The New Republic and an assistant editor of The American Prospect. He writes a periodic column in the Los Angeles Times. While ostensibly a liberal, he has supported several conservative causes, i.e., on the Iraq invasion and on Trump's candidacy in 2016. Early life and education
Chait is the son of Illene (née Seidman) and <mask>. Career
Chait began working at The New Republic in 1995. In January 2010, The New Republic replaced The Plank, TNR's group blog, with the Jonathan <mask> Blog.His writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Slate, and Reason. He took over The New Republic's TRB column from Peter Beinart in March 2007. Chait was named a finalist for the 2009 Ellie (National Magazine Award) in the Columns and Commentary category for three of his 2008 columns. On March 16, 2009, Chait appeared on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report to counter conservative arguments that the New Deal was a failure. The impetus for that appearance was an article that he wrote for The New Republic, "Wasting Away in Hooverville". Chait appears in The Rivalry, a 2007 HBO documentary about the history and culture of the Michigan-Ohio State football rivalry. Chait joined the staff of New York magazine on September 6, 2011, leaving his post as senior editor of The New Republic.He explained his move: "Obviously, I love TNR and had no plans to leave, but the opportunity at New York was irresistible. Everybody who works there raves about it, and my friends in journalism have noticed for a while it's become phenomenal — 'the best magazine in America', as one editor friend of mine told me." Positions
Chait usually writes about domestic politics and policy. Many of his writings are critiques of what he perceives to be illogical conservative positions. A self-described liberal hawk, he has written pieces critical of left-wing figures such as Naomi Klein and wrote a New Republic cover article condemning Delaware's tax haven policies. Chait was a supporter of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. More a decade later, he drew considerable attention with his "Case for Bush Hatred," in which he defended his dislike not only of Bush's policies but also his personality and mannerisms.Chait occasionally writes about sports, particularly stories involving his alma mater, the University of Michigan (A.B. 1994) where he was a columnist for The Michigan Daily. He strongly criticized the editorial staff of The Detroit Free Press after a controversial article by Michael Rosenberg that alleged systematic infractions of NCAA rules by the Michigan football program under former head coach Rich Rodriguez. <mask> suggested Rosenberg's editor should "lose his job" and referred to the investigation's methodology as "journalistic malpractice." On February 22, 2010, following an investigation stemming from allegations raised in Rosenberg's article, the university announced that the NCAA has found probable cause that the school committed five major violations, corroborating some of the allegations in Rosenberg's article. On May 24, 2010, the University of Michigan responded to the NCAA Notice of Allegations, stating in part, "the University is satisfied that the initial media reports were greatly exaggerated if not flatly incorrect." Chait then claimed Rosenberg's allegations that Rodriguez "operated a football sweatshop has been totally debunked."On September 26, 2011, <mask>, while admitting he had not read Gilad Atzmon's book The Wandering Who, in order to assess the context of a number of quotes, responded to John Mearsheimer's comment about Atzmon's book by citing passages which he regarded as characteristically anti-semitic. On January 27, 2015, Chait wrote an article for New York magazine on political correctness, which he labeled "a system of left-wing ideological repression" and cited examples from academia and social media. Chait's piece drew parallels between forms of political correctness popular in the 2010s with those popular in the 1990s. However, he also argued that the advent of social media had contributed to a form of political correctness that was more ubiquitous and less constrained to academia. In February 2016, Chait wrote a piece for New York magazine titled "Liberals Should Support a Trump Republican Nomination," in which he predicted that a Trump presidency would develop similarly to the governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger in California (who, like Trump, was a celebrity who became a Republican politician without any public service experience). In 2019, The Outline selected this piece as one of the "worst takes of the 2010s", opining that "Chait's immensely confident take [...] is a humiliating crystallization of the wrongheaded thinking that propelled [Trump] to the White House." Chait has written extensively in support of charter schools.On January 14, 2019, he accused Senator Elizabeth Warren of selling out to "powerful interests" for her opposition to an initiative which would have expanded the number of charter schools in Massachusetts. Chait has been criticized for often failing to disclose his wife's career in charter school advocacy. Chait was highly critical of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, arguing that Sanders would have been "an extremely, perhaps uniquely, risky nominee" whose "vulnerabilities [were] enormous and untested." Chait also negatively compared Sanders to 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. In the same article, Chait stated that Democrats could not win with a populist, anti-corporate agenda. In November 2020, Chait appeared to reverse his position on anti-corporatism as a viable strategy, saying that the Democratic Party had made a mistake by supporting what he described as a combination of far-left political correctness, and pro-business economic policies, which he stated had driven away white working-class voters, and that Democrats should instead take a centre-left, populist stance on both economic and cultural issues.

Sir <mask> (1257–1311) was an English nobleman, knight, and holder of a moiety of the feudal barony of North Cadbury, Somerset, but spent most of his life engaged in the administration and defence of the Isle of Wight, where he obtained by marriage the manor of Yaverland. He served as constable of Carisbrooke Castle, and sat in parliament on two occasions, firstly as burgess for Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, and then for the County of Southampton. As a baron his military service was called on several times by King Edward I Hammer of the Scots. Origin
<mask> was the third son and eventual heir of Sir <mask> (b. 1204), son of Sir <mask> (d. c. 1224) of Kingston Russell, Dorset, steward of Kings John (1199–1216) and his young son Henry III (1216–1272). Shortly before his death King John had granted <mask> the manor of Kingston by grand serjeanty, which grant was confirmed by Henry. <mask> had inherited from his mother Isabel de Newmarch a moiety of the Newmarch barony of North Cadbury, and it was this holding per baroniam which, although the other half had gone to Nicholas de Moels, the husband of Isabel's sister Hawise de Newmarch, nevertheless brought him membership of the baronage, with all the onerous duties which accompanied such a dignity.Marriage to Katherine de Aula
In about 1280   <mask> married Katherine de Aula,  heiress of the de Aula family of the Isle of Wight, who brought to the <mask> family the manor of Yaverland, Isle of Wight. Career

Sir <mask> was seated at Yaverland for the remainder of his life and played a central role in the defence of the Island from the frequent attacks by the French. He was appointed as one of three Wardens of the Island and Constable of Carisbrooke Castle, the caput of the Island, from which all manors were held under feudal ties. In 1294 he received royal instructions for putting the Island into a proper posture to meet the threatened invasion by France of the southern coasts of England. In 1295, still as a younger son, his brothers being still alive, he was elected to parliament as burgess for Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, where the <mask> family held the manor of Little Bedwyn, apparently acquired by his grandfather <mask>. In 1297 he was summoned by King Edward I to join with his barons to muster in London in preparation for a military expedition crossing over to Flanders. Sir <mask> was summoned by royal writ to be at York on 25 May 1298 to oppose the Scotsman <mask>.He fought at the Battle of Falkirk, where a great English victory was won. However, the Scottish forces regrouped and <mask> was again summoned to join King Edward's army on 24 June 1300 at Carlisle. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock later that year, during which his armourials were recorded in the eponymous roll of arms made then by the heralds. <mask> was again summoned as "<mask> <mask> of the Isle"  to be ready at Carlisle in 1301, after which the army wintered with much hardship in Scotland. In 1302 he was appointed for a 2nd time a Warden of the Isle, with Sir John de Lisle. In 1307 <mask> received another summons from King Edward I Hammer of the Scots to join the royal army at Carlisle within 15 days of 8 July, to counter the aggression of Robert the Bruce. Before the campaign commenced, the King determined on knighting his son, and was accorded by parliament the customary feudal aid, a form of taxation, to meet the costs of the splendid ceremony.<mask> was appointed as collector of this feudal aid for the county of Southampton. On this occasion the royal army was spared any fighting since Bruce had in the meantime been defeated by the border barons acting independently. King Edward II, just knighted as Prince of Wales, succeeded his father later in the year 1307 and called his first parliament to meet at Northampton, to which Sir <mask> was summoned by writ for the county of Southampton. <mask> thereupon relinquished his duties as Constable of Carisbrooke Castle to his successor Nicholas de Bois. In 1308 by letters patent <mask> was appointed one of three justiciaries for the Channel Islands to make enquiry into encroachments to the royal revenues. In 1309 <mask> was summoned by royal writ to be ready "with horse, arms, and all his lawful service (i.e. retinue)" at Newcastle upon Tyne, by 29 September, to punish the Scots for their non-observance of the truce recently entered into.By now <mask> was in failing health and being unable to meet the summons in person, he sent knights to serve in his stead. Sir <mask> died in 1311, leaving an only son, Theobald <mask>, still a minor aged only 7. Succession

<mask>'s infant son Theobald (1303–1349) was granted in wardship to Ralph III, 1st Baron Gorges (d. 1324) of Knighton manor, Isle of Wight, Wraxall, Somerset, and Bradpole, Dorset. Gorges married off his young ward to his second daughter Eleanor, who eventually became one of three co-heiresses to her brother Ralph IV, 2nd Baron Gorges (d. 1331). Theobald and Eleanor had five sons. The eldest was Sir <mask> (d. 1375) who inherited his patrimonial Russell lands, whose adult male line was to die out on the death of his third son and eventual heir Sir <mask> (1356–1416) of Kingston Russell and Dyrham, Gloucestershire. Theobald I & Eleanor's second son was Theobald <mask>, who was made the heir of his uncle the second Baron Gorges, who had died without male issue and left him the bulk of the Gorges lands on condition he should change his family name and arms to Gorges.This he did and founded a new line of "Gorges" based at Wraxall. The history of the youngest three sons, <mask>, John and Richard, is not recorded, although <mask>, apparently based at Knighton, is known to have died without male issue on 24 March 1343. Sources

<mask> (January 17, 1917 – February 20, 1967) was the first mayor who transitioned from a mayor of Olongapo municipality to a mayor of Olongapo City, Philippines from December 30, 1963 to February 20, 1967. He was born on January 17, 1917 of an American Marine father, <mask>, and a Filipina mother, Veronica Tagle y Bella. Unlike his four brothers who took American citizenship and lived in the United  States, he chose to stay in the Philippines as a Filipino citizen and raised his children as Filipino citizens. <mask> is the father of former Olongapo Mayor <mask>. Civic Consciousness
His family orientedness showed in his successful attempts to put up an institution that would take care of orphans and abandoned children. Together with his friends, he put up Boys Town- Girls Home which still exists to this day, caring for around 70 wards. <mask>’s widow Amelia J<mask> continues this tradition of caring by keeping under her care children from very poor families.In the field of civic work <mask> led in the forming of groups that worked on community projects. He was one of the organizers of the Olongapo Civic Action Group that worked on beautification projects and in general improvement of the city. He was one of the founders of the Olongapo Rotary Club, which has given rise to four other Rotary Clubs at present. He was also one of the founders of the Olongapo Knights of Columbus- and was selected the second Grand Knight. He organized the Olongapo Businessmen’s Association which then, as now, played a significant part in community life. Military Rule
During <mask>’s time Olongapo was in a curious situation. The rest of the Philippines had been declared independent of the United States on July 4, 1946.Olongapo, however, remained under U.S. Government jurisdiction. It had been declared a U.S. Naval Reservation soon after the U.S. and Spain signed the Treaty of Paris. As such it was administered by a U.S. Navy officer. In other words, instead of having a Filipino Mayor, Olongapo had as its governing authority an American military official. Residents had to follow strict rules like: always having an ID Card issued by the Reservation office; home lots could not be owned, these could be taken back any time the US Navy needed the area; relatives from out of town can stay only for a few days and had to renew their passes if their stay is extended; only families with working members could stay in the Reservation. These strictly followed rules made the residents angry.But they became angrier when bus passengers going in and out of the Naval Reservation were made to get off the bus for strict searches of their belongings. Turnover of Olongapo to Philippine Government
<mask> led the move to make Olongapo free from U.S. rule. He was well respected by US Navy officials and had many friends among the Americans but he could not stomach the military regulations that limited the movements of people in Olongapo. Jose Balein of the Manila Chronicle interviewed him and in a series of articles from July 3 to 7, . 1955 he exposed the abuses and harassments suffered by Olongapo residents under US military rule

The Zambales provincial officials supported <mask> in this fight to be free of military restrictions. As Vice Governor of Zambales he was in a position to speak for people living in Zambales town north of Olongapo who worked in US Navy installations. Buses carrying passengers from Zambales towns passed through Olongapo and underwent the annoying searches.The concerted resistance to military rule could not be ignored by the U.S. Navy authorities. Talks were initiated to formalize the turnover of Olongapo to the Philippine Government. The American panel was made up of officials from the US Embassy headed by Minister Abbot and officers from the U.S. Navy. The Philippine panel was headed by Pacifico Castro of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Vice Governor <mask> was a member. The US Government was thus compelled to relinquish Olongapo to the Philippine Government after the RP-US panel met several times to discuss the conditions. Olongapo was turned over to the Philippine Government on December 7, 1959.On the same day President Carlos P. Garcia signed the Executive Order making Olongapo a municipality of Zambales. Post Turnover Turmoil

After the turnover, the provincial politicians moved in. They succeeded in placing their own men in sensitive positions in the new municipality because they worked to have officials appointed instead of elected. <mask> had no stomach for the corruption and he resigned from the post of Deputy Governor. He saw how Olongapo was marginalized. The government hospital was reduced in category; its equipment was carted off to Zambales. Illegal logging and cigarette smuggling were rampant.Land problems proliferated. The new officials tried to lease out the electrical utility for only P5,000.00 a month. Heavy equipment like bulldozers which had been acquired from the US Navy could not be accounted for. Prodded to run for Municipal Mayor during its first election four years after the turnover, <mask>, though a reluctant candidate, won and was finally at the helm of his town on December 30, 1963. A City is born
The situation deteriorated to the extent that <mask>, together with Olongapo residents, struggled hard to be free of the provincial government. He lobbied in Congress for the passage of a bill to convert the municipality into a City. Amidst strong opposition from the provincial government but to the triumphant rejoicing of the people of Olongapo, RA 4645, the Charter of the City of Olongapo, was signed by President Ferdinand Marcos on June 1, 1966.In simple but impressive ceremonies Olongapo City was inaugurated on September 1 and <mask> took his oath as Mayor before Vice President <mask> on September 3 of the same year. Assassination attempts
There were three attempts on his life: On July 4, 1965, he was lured out of his house by a false report on a fire. On the way back home a grenade was thrown at his car. He survived this first attempt. On August 4 of the same year several prisoners were allowed to escape from the municipal jail of Subic, Zambales. Again, a fire was made as a ruse to make <mask> appear. Three grenades were thrown at the crowd, wounding one US Navy officer who was with the team that helped to control the blaze.Again, <mask> survived the attempt. The third try was again linked to a fire. The <mask> residence in Quezon City mysteriously burned down on November 1. The family later learned that an ambush had been prepared at the Zig-Zag pass although he went through this third attempt unscathed. Death
On February 20, 1967, while talking with a constituent on the first floor of city hall, he was gunned down by Nonito Alincastre, an escaped inmate of the National Penitentiary. He was immediately brought to the USS Repose, a US Navy hospital ship, but he could not be saved because of his massive head injuries. His funeral was the largest Olongapo ever saw.Senators, Congressmen, Ambassadors, joined the grieving Olongapo public in the funeral cortege. Ancestry

<mask> (January 1896November 1, 1956) was an American Delta blues musician who recorded in the late 1920s and was known for his eerie falsetto voice and intricate guitar playing. He was unrelated to the blues musician <mask>. Early life
<mask> was born near Terry, Mississippi, and in about 1910 moved to Crystal Springs, where he lived for most of his life. He learned to play the guitar and, by 1914, was supplementing his income by playing at local parties with his brothers Major and LeDell. In 1916 <mask> married and moved to Webb Jennings' plantation near Drew, Mississippi, close to the Dockery Plantation. There he met other musicians, including Charlie Patton and Willie Brown. Career
By 1920, <mask> was an itinerant musician based in Crystal Springs but traveling widely around the South, sometimes accompanied by Papa Charlie McCoy.In 1928, he made his first recordings, with McCoy, for Victor Records, including "Canned Heat Blues", in which he sang of drinking methanol from the cooking fuel Sterno. The song features the refrain "canned heat, mama, sure, Lord, killing me." The blues group Canned Heat took their name from this song. <mask>'s "Big Road Blues" inspired Canned Heat's song "On the Road Again". A significantly different version of the song appears as "Canned Heat" on the album Big Road Blues by K. C. Douglas. <mask> recorded two further sessions, for Victor in August 1928 and for Paramount Records in December 1929. He did not record again, mistakenly believing that he had signed away his right to record.Some suggest he had been intentionally given this misimpression by people at Paramount Records. This resulted in a legal settlement with the Mississippi Sheiks, who had used the melody of <mask>'s "Big Road Blues" in their successful "Stop and Listen". <mask> was party to the copyright settlement but was too drunk at the time to understand what he had signed. <mask>'s recordings established him as the premier Delta blues vocalist of his day, with a powerful voice that could go from a growl to a falsetto. He was an accomplished guitarist. He also performed tricks with his guitar, playing it between his legs and behind his head and throwing it in the air while playing. His style influenced later blues singers, such as Robert Nighthawk and Howlin' Wolf (whose song "I Asked for Water [She Brought Me Gasoline]" was based on <mask>'s "Cool Drink of Water Blues"), and the country singer Hank Williams.<mask> was a talented composer, blending fragments of folk poetry and personalized lyrics into set guitar accompaniments to craft striking blues compositions such as "Maggie Campbell". To enhance his fame, <mask> cultivated a sinister persona. According to his brother LeDell, he claimed to have sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in exchange for his mastery of the guitar. This story was later also associated with <mask>, to whom <mask> was unrelated. <mask> remained a popular performer in the Jackson area through the 1930s and 1940s, sometimes performing with Ishman Bracey. He influenced other performers, partly because he was willing to teach his style and his repertoire. His influence on local traditions is described by David Evans in the books <mask> (1971) and Big Road Blues: Tradition and Creativity in the Folk Blues (1982).Death
<mask> died of a heart attack after playing at a local party in 1956. He is buried in the Warm Springs Methodist Church Cemetery, outside Crystal Springs, Mississippi. In April, 2000, <mask> family members gave permission for a headstone to be placed on <mask>'s grave organized through the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund, a Mississippi nonprofit corporation active in historic African American cemetery preservation since 1989. Underwriting for the memorial was obtained through the support of blues musician Bonnie Raitt. The large granite memorial engraved with <mask>'s portrait and including several of <mask>'s best-known songs, added at the family's request, was unveiled in October, 2001 in Crystal Springs, but was not placed on <mask>'s actual grave for another 10 years  however, because of a dispute between <mask>'s family (led by his niece, <mask> Collins), the owners of farm property encircling the cemetery, and the Copiah County Board of Supervisors over a deteriorated road that led to the burial site. The dispute was resolved in October 2012 thanks in large part to research work done by University of Mississippi researcher T.D.Moore. It was finally announced that the headstone would be erected on October 26 of that year. The headstone had been on public display in the Crystal Springs Public Library since being unveiled on October 20, 2001. On the night of Saturday, February 2, 2013, the headstone fell and was damaged. It is a matter of dispute whether it fell because it was inadequately secured or because it was pushed over or deliberately smashed. The Tommy Johnson Blues Festival is held annually in Crystal Springs on the third weekend in October. The inaugural festival was held in Jackson and Crystal Springs in 2006.In fiction
