Early years – Brothers in Rhythm

Remixes and releases
<mask> began his musical career at DMC Studios as one half of remix/production team Brothers in Rhythm with Dave Seaman. They went on to work with artists including Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Janet Jackson, Sting and Paul McCartney. <mask>'s role at DMC was initially as an apprentice or, as he described it, "tea-boy creating some mixes for their subscription service". <mask>'s first remix for Kylie Minogue under the DMC label was her 1990 disco single "Step Back In Time". Though this remix was not officially serviced, it has been suggested that it later provided inspiration for the successful Harding/Curnow remix of the "Rhythm of Love" single.Further, it would lead to <mask> collaborating with Minogue on her ballad "Finer Feelings" in 1991. Recalling the important influence of the band Massive Attack's music at the time, <mask> stated in an interview:

Finer Feelings came from someone at PWL loving what we were doing with Brothers In Rhythm, which up until then had been predominantly house music, so taking on a gorgeous mid tempo was quite a risk but of course we loved the song and just embellished what was there with a whole load of piano, strings and choir… On the original 1992 remix it was purely about making the rhythm section tougher and the orchestration more lush - everyone was influenced by Massive Attack then, so that’s where we were headed”

This led to production work for the Pet Shop Boys, Take That (including the No.1s  Never Forget and Sure) and Minogue's debut album for Deconstruction Records in 1994, including "Confide In Me" which he co-wrote and produced. Extensively collaborating with Dave Seaman, Brothers in Rhythm also had mainstream hits in their own right with Peace and Harmony (1990) and Such a Good Feeling (1991), the latter reaching number 1 in the Billboard Dance Club Songs charts. Peace and Harmony secured greater exposure when it re-appeared as the B-side to Such a Good Feeling. In 1994, the follow-up to Such a Good Feeling, Forever and a Day, was released in the U.K via Stress Records, with vocals from Charvoni, charting at number 51. Production work
Around the time of the Brothers in Rhythm release Forever and a Day, Seaman and <mask> featured on the first Kylie Minogue album since leaving her label PWL. The two co-wrote and produced her first single Confide In Me, which went to no.2 in the U.K charts and signified a “reinvention” of Minogue's image and sound. According to Lee Barron,  he felt the image of the music video was an example and opening of "Indie Kylie"; an image that later progressed through the work of her 1997 album Impossible Princess. Brothers in Rhythm also produced four additional songs on the album, namely Love is Waiting,  Dangerous Game, Automatic Love and Where is the Feeling. After the release of their 1994 Brothers in Rhythm single Forever in a Day, <mask> and Seaman concentrated on writing, producing and recording Minogue's second album for Deconstruction Records/Sony BMG, Impossible Princess. Temporarily retitled Kylie Minogue in the UK and Europe (following the death of Princess Diana), this was Minogue's sixth studio album, released on 22 October 1997 by Sony BMG and Deconstruction Records in Japan. Minogue had co-written all the songs on the album, with additional credits in production and composition; the album was also assisted by Dave Ball, Ingo Vauk, Brothers in Rhythm and Rob Dougan, among others. The album received a polarized response from music critics.Commercially, the album reached number 10 in Australia, Scotland and the UK, but was certified Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for physical shipment of 70,000 units. After the release of Impossible Princess, Brothers in Rhythm continued to collaborate, having their remixes on single releases by D Ream, M People, Placebo, Garbage and Alanis Morissette. While the Brothers in Rhythm never officially split up, the beginning of the millennium saw Dave Seamen concentrate on his DJ career while <mask> consolidated his career in music production, song-writing and theatre. Production and songwriting
<mask> has written and co-written songs and produced music for recording artists including Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Markus Feehily, Holly Valance, Take That, Susan Boyle and Delta Goodrem. After completing Impossible Princess for Minogue in 1997, <mask> continued to write with Minogue for the album that became Light Years. Recalling a sense of freedom during the early period of recording in 1999, <mask> states:
The thing is, when we get together to write, we just do what we feel like. We never try to pitch at an album or sound, so often we write something we love that happily sits on a b-side, and that’s fine with us.If you take something like Harmony for instance - the sun was shining at Real World and we just wanted to do something really bright, warm and summery with a lovely lyric. We knew there was no way it was going to fit on an album, but that's not a good enough reason not to write it. Released in 2000 through Parlophone and widely seen as Minogue's comeback album, Light Years features three songs composed by <mask> (So Now Goodbye, Butterfly and Bittersweet Goodbye). He also co-wrote Dancefloor and Give It To Me on the follow-up album Fever, which reached the number one slot in the UK, Australian, Austrian, German and Irish album charts and number 3 on the US Billboard 200. <mask> also worked on songs for Britney Spears, including "Breathe on Me" for her 2003 album In The Zone and two unreleased songs ("State of Grace" and "Grow") originally intended for her album Blackout. In 2003, he produced and co-wrote three songs for the Holly Valance album State of Mind, released on Warner Bros. Records. He also co-wrote and produced "Everything You Ever Wanted" for the English-Irish Pop Girl group Girls Aloud's debut album Sound of the Underground (Polydor / Universal International).In 2009, he produced "Talk Me Down" for the Irish boy band Westlife's Where We Are album (S / RCA / Sony Music. He also collaborated with Australian singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte on the song "Supersensual" for her number 1 selling album 1000 Stars (Sony). He co-wrote and produced the song "Entre Nous et le Sol" for French singer Christophe Willem's album Caféine(Columbia Records / Sony Music, which was subsequently released as a single in 2010 with the English-language version of the album, Heartbox with the restored original title, State of Grace. In 2010, he wrote and produced the song "I will reach you", that appeared as an album track on Westlife's Gravity. In the same year he wrote the lead single to Spanish singer Edurne's album Nueva Piel (Sony Music Spain), "Soy Como Soy". In 2011, he was reunited with Christophe Willem, producing his entire Prismophonic album for Columbia / Sony Music. In 2012, he also produced the English version of Willem's album, Love Shot Me Down.As part of Kylie Minogue's K25 celebrations, <mask> also produced  The Abbey Road Sessions album, on which he co-wrote the single "Flower". In 2013 he produced Susan Boyle's Home for Christmas album. In 2014 he produced Boyle's next album, Hope. In 2015 he produced songs on Westlife's Markus Feehily album Fire and numerous songs for Kylie Minogue's Christmas album, Kylie Christmas (Parlophone). In 2016 he wrote and produced Paola Iezzi's single "Lovenight". He also became heavily involved in the production, arrangement and release of new singer Harriet and her self-titled debut album (Brightstar Records). He also produced Boyle's Christmas album A Wonderful World (Syco), featuring covers of Madonna, Robbie Williams and ABBA songs.<mask> also produced Minogue's expanded re-release of her Christmas album, Kylie Christmas: Snow Queen Edition. In 2018, he produced and wrote a couple of tracks on the solo debut album of Steps' singer Claire Richards. He also co-produced the debut album ‘Brave’ by 15 year old Beau Dermott for (Decca) Records with Cliff Masterson

Music director – pop concert tours

Though its chart performance was somewhat lackluster, a key success of Kylie Minogue's Impossible Princess era was her live tour Intimate and Live in 1998. Performing to sell out shows in Australia and London, Minogue selected <mask> as its musical director for all corresponding concerts. This relationship continues with <mask> providing essential arrangement production work for Kylie Minogue's On a Night Like This tour (2001), KylieFever tour (2002), Money Can't Buy (2004), Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour (2005), Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour (2006-2007), KylieX2008 (2008-2009), For You, for Me (2009), Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour (2011), Anti Tour (2012), Kiss Me Once Tour (2014-2015) and A Kylie Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall (2015-2016). Outside his live work for Minogue, <mask> has scored the live arrangements for tours and shows by Westlife, Delta Goodrem, Leona Lewis and most recently Lush in October 2016. He has also scored notable radio and T.V shows including Live Lounge for Leona Lewis and Little Mix and An Audience With Kylie Minogue which featured a duet with Kermit the Frog.Music supervisor – theatre
In 2007, alongside working on the Showgirl tour, <mask> and others from Kylie Minogue's creative team, including choreographer Ashley Wallen, vocal arranger Terry Ronald and creative director William Baker, opened their re-worked version of Jonathan Larson's musical Rent, Rent: Remixed at London's Duke of York's Theatre. The show starred Luke Evans, and Siobhan Donaghy as Mimi. While the show's stripped down adaptation drew criticism, Sam Marlow, theatre critic for the Times, stated
<mask> has done a cracking job of funking up Larson’s score, replacing overweening guitar rock with pumping gay club anthems and diva pop, flavoured with rippling keyboards and electronica. The same creative team would reunite for several versions of The Hurly Burly Show, a Burlesque Revue playing at various West End theatres between 2010 and 2012, starring the British Neo-Burlesque performer Miss Polly Rae. The show was well received by Theatre critics, with The Daily Telegraph's Charles Spencer giving it a four-star rating, noting the quality of the show's musical numbers, while The Guardian's Michael Billington praised its slick direction. Three successful incarnations of the show led to further theatrical outings for <mask>. Collaborations to date include:
Little Belter (London and UK Tour, 2012)
Orchid – Where Desire Blooms (Miami, 2012)
Some Girl I Used To Know (Leeds, London West End and UK Tour, 2014)
The Supreme Fabulettes – Viva La Drag (London West End and UK Tour 2014–2015)
Chandelier (Celebrity Cruises, 2015)
Elyria (Celebrity Cruises, 2015).In 2014 it was announced that <mask> was working on a new musical based on the music of Minogue. In September 2015 Minogue herself confirmed that the musical had "momentum" once again, after being "in talks". A successful trademark registration by Minogue's family company from 2012 indicates that the musical's working title is Lucky: The Kylie Minogue Musical. <mask> is currently working on a new musical, The Most Beautiful Man In New York, with long time collaborators Ian Masterson and Terry Ronald.

<mask> (November 5, 1967 – July 30, 1993) was an American record label executive, concert promoter and nightclub owner. He was born in New York to Rhonda and <mask>, who managed acts such as B. J. Thomas and Dionne Warwick. In the early 1970s, he and his family moved to the Los Angeles area. In the early 1990s, he served as an A&R executive for the Chrysalis Music Group. After signing Rage Against the Machine, Cantor left Chrysalis to work briefly as an agent and then a promoter, putting together some of the largest concert and dance events in the city at that time. He also entered the nightclub business, taking a 10 percent stake in Dragonfly, a club known at the time for its 1970s and hip hop theme nights. At that time he was involved romantically with actress Rose McGowan.<mask> was found dead in his Hollywood home on July 30, 1993; he had been stabbed repeatedly in the upper body. No suspect has ever been identified and the investigation remains open. His death was the subject of renewed interest a year later, when, during preliminary motions in the trial of O. J. Simpson for the killings of his former wife, Nicole Simpson, and Ron Goldman, Judge Lance Ito ruled that defense lawyers could have access to the investigatory file in the Cantor case. The defense had argued that the similarity of the three killings suggested the same person or persons had committed them. It has also been argued in books on the case that <mask> knew both Goldman and Nicole, and thus they may have been killed over mutual involvement in possibly illegal business activities. <mask> was born in New York in 1967. His father Paul, a former William Morris agent who had moved into managing musicians like Dionne Warwick and B. J. Thomas, moved the family to Los Angeles four years later.In his young adulthood, <mask> followed his father and older brothers Cliff and Marc into the music industry. At Chrysalis Music Group, <mask> worked as an A&R executive, looking for artists to sign and develop. In that capacity he signed Jane's Addiction and helped get Rage Against the Machine its first record contract. Both bands became stars of the early 1990s alternative rock scene. <mask> left Chrysalis to work, briefly, at the Agency for the Performing Arts. He then formed his own company called Underground Entertainment, which promoted raves. Events Underground organized at nightclubs, like Petting Zoo, Sanitarium, After Hours and L.A. Palooza were among the largest concert/dance parties in Los Angeles during that time.When nightclub owner Steve Edelson converted one of his Frolic Rooms, on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, into a different club called Dragonfly, <mask> came in as his partner, holding a 10 percent share in the business. Dragonfly soon became known among the city's clubgoers for its theme nights. Wednesday nights were part of a series called Superfly, focusing on 1970s music, particularly disco, while Friday night's Riot featured hip hop. The club was profitable for its owners. One spring 1993 night at Dragonfly <mask> met a young actress named Rose McGowan. The two soon became romantically involved; in her 2018 autobiography Brave, McGowan credits him with helping her escape an abusive relationship that had led her to develop an eating disorder. She considered him her soul mate.Death

Early on the morning of July 30, 1993, <mask> left another nightclub, Club 434. He is not known to have been seen alive after that. Later that day, his body was found at his Hollywood home a short distance from Dragonfly. Cantor had been stabbed 23 times around the head and arms. His throat had been cut almost to the point of decapitation. Some accounts also report that he was given a Colombian necktie, his tongue pulled out through an incision in his lower jaw, as well. The body was found near Cantor's opened front door.The investigation was moved from the local precinct to the downtown headquarters of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), where it continues. No suspect has ever been identified. Aftermath
Edelson could not bring himself to enter Dragonfly after Cantor's death, and sold his interest shortly afterwards. "Being there felt wrong, and it still does today" he told Los Angeles magazine in 2012. <mask> took over his brother's share and ran the club afterwards. Possible connection to O. J. Simpson murder case

Almost a year later, the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson, former wife of American football player and actor O. J. Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, a waiter, were found dead with similar injuries at Brown's home in Brentwood. O.J.Simpson was arrested and charged with two counts of murder but later acquitted at trial. In September 1994, Simpson's lawyers moved to have Judge Lance Ito allow them to review the LAPD's file on the <mask> homicide. Like <mask>, Nicole and Goldman had been stabbed predominantly in the upper body, their throats severely cut. Goldman's throat, in particular, had been cut by someone reaching from behind him, starting on the left side and moving upward to the right across the neck, similar to the wound on Cantor. According to the coroner, the killer of Nicole and Goldman had also used a long thin blade, much like the one that had been used on <mask>. Ito granted the motion three weeks later, ruling that the material was "discoverable under Brady", referring to the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court decision that requires prosecutors to turn over any potentially exculpatory evidence their investigations uncover to the defense. The Simpson defense team also noted that the similarity of the killings themselves was not the only connection between the three murders.Goldman had once worked at Dragonfly as a waiter, where he was seen together with <mask> by other employees, and Nicole had often gone there with her friends to dance, raising the possibility that either or both were acquainted with Cantor. After the Simpson-Goldman murders, detectives questioned Steve Edelson about possible connections. Later, a tabloid ran a story suggesting that Edelson was behind all three slayings. He denied the claims, saying "the whole thing was ridiculous ... At the time there were some bad feelings in Hollywood about me." Simpson's defense, which admitted at the time it requested the files that it was not sure there was a connection, never brought the <mask> killing into evidence. Simpson was subsequently acquitted in October 1995. After the trial, author Joseph Bosco followed up on the <mask> homicide in his book A Problem of Evidence.He reported that the <mask> family had set up a tip hotline for information about <mask>'s death, but had it directed to them rather than the LAPD, and only shared one tip they received, which did not produce any useful leads. Cantor's family has publicly dismissed any connection between <mask>'s death and the Simpson case; privately, Bosco wrote, the wife of <mask>'s other brother Matt, told him she believed there was a connection between the cases. The LAPD detectives assigned to the Cantor case at the time Bosco inquired about it also denied any connection. Dallas-based author and private investigator William Dear likewise asserted in his 2014 book O.J. Simpson Is Innocent And I Can Prove It that Cantor was a diversion by the Simpson defense to protect Simpson's son Jason. Bosco stated that Cantor was under investigation by the FBI for possible involvement in the drug trade at the time of his death, and one of Jason's former girlfriends told Bosco that investigators found $130,000 in cash in a safe in Cantor's office after he was killed.

In December that year, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) granted <mask> a one-year grade C contract, one of 22 central contracts held by the Board at the time. Although he was still in the lowest tier of central contracts, it was an extension of his previous contract, which lasted six months.On Bangladesh's tour of the West Indies in July and August 2009, <mask> scored his maiden Test century against a West Indies team weakened by disputes between players and administrators, which resulted in seven players making their Test debuts in the match. His effort with the bat helped Bangladesh to a historic victory – their first against the West Indies in Tests, their first overseas Test victory and only their second Test win. He ended up with 128, and was named as the Man of the Match for his performance (he also scored 33 in the first innings). Speaking of his innings, <mask> said "It was a flat wicket, and if you concentrate hard and look to bat straight, it's a good track to score on. I'm just 20 and have played only 11 Tests, I think there are a lot more [innings like these] to come". Bangladesh went on to win the second Test, and in the process secured their first overseas series win. <mask> was Bangladesh's leading run-scorer in the series with 197 runs.Bangladesh's coach, Jamie Siddons, opined in January 2010 that <mask> had "the makings of a world-class opener".

In the process he became the fastest Bangladesh batsman to reach 1,000 Test runs in terms of innings, taking 19 to reach the landmark. He also became the third-youngest player in Test history (behind Sachin Tendulkar and compatriot Mohammad Ashraful) to reach 1,000 Test runs. In May that year, Bangladesh toured England for two more Tests and three ODIs. Though his team lost 2–0, <mask> scored a century in each of the Tests. For his performances against England, <mask> was named one of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack's four Cricketers of the Year in 2011.In October he was also named Wisden's Test Player of the Year, ahead of Graeme Swann and Virender Sehwag, who came second and third respectively. During the qualifying period for the award, <mask> scored 837 runs in seven Tests at an average of 59.78. It was just the second time a Bangladesh player had won the award, as Shakib Al Hasan was named the previous year.

When Bangladesh toured Zimbabwe in July 2011 for a single Test and five ODIs, they did so with the expectation of winning. Zimbabwe were returning from a six-year exile from Tests, although Bangladesh had not played in the format in more than 14 months.

Though Bangladesh lost the Test series 1–0, <mask> was his team's leading run-scorer with 186 from four innings, including two half-centuries. The BCB founded the six-team Bangladesh Premier League in 2012, a twenty20 tournament to be held in February that year. The BCB made <mask> the 'icon player' for Chittagong Kings.

Bangladesh progressed to the final against all expectations, although they lost to Pakistan by 2 runs. Later that month <mask> signed with Pune Warriors in the Indian Premier League, but did not play a single match for the team. In April his top-level central contract with the BCB was renewed. In late 2012 Bangladesh hosted West Indies, where Bangladesh won the ODI series, despite losing the T20 and the Test series.

<mask>, AKA "<mask>" and "<mask>," (1914-1982) was a 20th-century American Communist screenwriter whose career was cut short by the Hollywood blacklist. Background

<mask> was born on February 20, 1914, in New York City. Career

In 1942 following the December 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, <mask> volunteered to serve in the United States Army. In 1946, after his discharge and a short leave with family in New York, <mask> moved to Los Angeles. Screenwriter

<mask> became a screenwriter, whose career took off in the late 1940s. He often adapted books to film, as in Best Man Wins, adapted from a story by Mark Twain. Blacklist scholars Ceplair and Englund grouped <mask> among those screenwriters who considered movies a "high art."<mask> joined the League of American Writers, a Popular Front group organized by the Communist Party in 1935 and disbanded in 1943. (His relative B.W<mask> of Viking Press was also a member.) By 1951, <mask> went onto the Hollywood Blacklist; his name was omitted from writing credits for The Son of Dr. Jekyll. Hollywood Blacklist

Investigation into Communist infiltration into Hollywood commenced nationally with hearings by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in October 1947 that led to indictment of the Hollywood Ten for contempt of Congress. On April 17, 1951, <mask>'s name came up during hearings. HUAC investigator William A. Wheeler testified:    The last individual which I wish to bring to the committee's attention is <mask>.He resides at 11200 La Maida, Los Angeles, Calif. We received this subpena rather late on our first trip to California, and when we received it we accompanied the United States marshal or deputy United States marshal to the home of Mr. <mask>. The marshal talked to Mrs. <mask> and was informed that her husband would be home later that same date. We stayed around the place until fairly late at night, and Mr. <mask> did not return. Inquiries around the neighborhood disclosed that the next day Mrs. Huebsch loaded the station wagon up and left. No one has been there for the last 5 weeks. We contacted the residence again on April 6, and no one was at home. (The HUAC hearing transcript includes a footnote with corrected address:  "<mask>sch , 10200 La Nida, North Hollywood.")Wheeler then read aloud for the public a letter from Jakes J. Boyiz, US Marshal for the Southern District of California, that shared "the following named persons be served subpenas commanding their appearance In the District of Columbia: Georgia Backus Alexander, Jack Berry, Hugo Butler, Leonardo Bercovici, <mask>, Karen Morley, Fred Rinaldo, Lew Solomon, Michael Uris." Finally, writer-director Frank Wright Tuttle worked through a list of subversive Hollywood people, which included Huebsch:       MR. TUTTLE: ...Mr. <mask>, H-u-e-b-s-c-h, a writer. MR. TAVENNER: Do you reca11 his first name? MR. TUTTLE: I think it was Eddie. I am not sure. MR. TAVENNER:  You say he was a writer? MrMR.TUTTLE: Yes. MR. TAVENNER: You are not certain of his first name, can you identify the person to whom you are referring l\Y any other information so that there will be no question about a confusion of names? MR. TUTTLE: I can't identify him other than the fact his name was <mask>. He was in one of the groups I was in and he was a writer. In May 1952, <mask> joined 14 others (including members of the Hollywood Ten) in writing a letter to the Screen Writers Guild that urged the guild to stand up for credits to Paul Jarrico as screenwriter for the movie The Las Vegas Story. During testimony by fellow screenwriter Stanley Roberts, <mask>'s name came up again on May 20, 1952. Roberts described himself as a "motion-picture writer" who had worked in that business since 1936 for studios major (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Columbia, Universal) and minor (Monogram).Roberts tried to explain to the committee that, "It is very difficult for us to understand, but communism in Hollywood, as I have seen it, is on a purely local level. It doesn't seem to go anywhere." In 1938, Roberts first met Ben Barzman's home, where members like John Howard Lawson asked him to join. In late April or early May 1945, right after the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt ("the death of liberalism in America"), Bernard C. Schoenfeld got him to join. Two or three other "delegates" came to visit Roberts after that, one of whom was <mask>. These delegates, including <mask>, persuaded him that "The party was merely interested in the things that I was interested in, better conditions in the Screen Writers' Guild, better labor conditions in Hollywood, higher wages, and so forth, and in furthering Roosevelt's policies." Roberts left the Party in 1946, but <mask> came back to ask him to rejoin and support the  Conference of Studio Unions (CSU) strike (see "Hollywood Black Friday").Roberts then went on the name <mask> as a member of Communist-dominated groups in Hollywood:
 Screen Writers Guild:  Ben Barzman, John Howard Lawson, Bernard C. Schoenfeld, Paul Trivers
 Conference of Studio Unions:  Herbert Biberman, <mask> and wife Sonja Dahl, Michael Uris and wife Dorothy Tree, Hugo Butler and wife Jean Rouverol, John Berry (director), Bernard C. Schoenfeld, Irwin Lieberman, Carl Foreman, Alex Greenberg
 Screen Writers Magazine:  Lester Cole, Dalton Trumbo, John Howard Lawson, Gordon Kahn, Hugo Butler, Richard Collins

On March 23, 1953, <mask> himself appeared before HUAC, counseled by William B. Esterman. Initially, <mask> objected to the televising of hearings by Congress, a point to which the committee acceded and rescheduled his hearing. On March 24, 1953, David A. Lang, a fellow screenwriter, named <mask> as part of a Communist cell whose members also included: George Bassman, Nick Bela, <mask>, Henry Blankfort, Laurie Blankfort, William Blowitz, Hugo Butler, Howard Dimsdale, Morton Grant, Lester Koenig, Millard Lampell, Pauline Lagerfin, Isobel Lennart, Al Levitt, Arnold Manoff, Mortimer Offner, W.L. River, Bob Robert, Marguerite Roberts, John Stanford, Wilma Shore, George Sklar, Bess Taffel, Seymour Bennett, Eunice Mindlin, and Val Burton. Lang also described a "Writers' Clinic" to which many Hollywood Ten writers belonged. On March 25, 1953, <mask> returned for testimony, this time counseled not only by Esterman but also Daniel G. Marshall. Huebsch began by correcting the committee, saying he had not asked for no televisions but for a quashing of his subpoena.The committee disregarded his request but assured him he was not being recorded. After a short biography, the committee pressed him to state whether he had ever been a member of the Communist Party USA. <mask> declined to answer, citing the Fifth Amendment. The committee pressed him by demanding he cite which provision of the Fifth Amendment, etc. <mask> was equally aggressive, calling committee chairman Harold Velde "King Harold Velde" (in reference to King George III). When the committee tried to press <mask> into strictly "yes" or "no" answers, <mask> cited a passage in the Fifth Amendment that prohibited the committee from such. Eventually, <mask> refused to answer by citing the First, Fifth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, at which point the committee dismissed him.The New York Times noted <mask>'s "verbal jousting" with HUAC and that committee members called him "contemptuous." Comeback

In 1977, <mask> tried to make a comeback with Twighlight's Last Gleaming, directed by Robert Aldrich. Variety called it "intricate, intriguing and intelligent drama." The New York Times called the movie a "deadly solemn, gadgety suspense-melodrama about a disgruntled, liberal-thinking United States general, a Vietnam veteran whose out-spoken antiwar views got him railroaded to prison on a trumped-up murder charge." While the newspaper summed it up in 1977 as having "no star," in 2012 a new review said it "epitomized a paranoid, quintessentially ’70s moment in American history and imagination... a nerve-racking procedural." In 1979, <mask> published the historical fiction novel The Last Summer of Mata Hari, whose review by Kirkus Reviews summarized it as "Noble banalities pulse endlessly from Mata's tear-drenched heartstrings and drown whatever sense of realism this yucky pseudo-historical novel might have had. Bathos supreme."Death

<mask> died age 68 on July 7, 1982, in Los Angeles, California. Legacy

In 1980, Victor Navasky named <mask> as a communist with the following passage in his book Naming Names with regard to Carl Foreman, a fellow American screenwriter:       Another party interested in Foreman's testimony was the CP itself. They sent the screenwriter <mask> to interview Foreman:    I was assigned by the Party to find out what Foreman's testimony was going to be. I had lunch with him--he was doing High Noon at the time. I sat for eleven hours with him. We went to Lucy's, the fanciest restaurant in Hollywood--across from Paramount. I could not get him to assert that he would take an anti-Communist position.So I reported that he was an informer. Nothing he has said then or since has convinced me I was wrong... The main point is, Carl wouldn't tell the Commies to go fuck themselves... I would have recommended expulsion. Also in 1980, Ceplair and Englund mentioned <mask> as one of those dodged subpoenas, recalled in 1999 by fellow screenwriter Bernard Gordon in a specific incident:      An especially odious instance of this kind of hysteria occurred close to home at a meeting of the Screen Writers Guild in Hollywood. A good friend of mine, <mask>, was ducking a subpoena from HUAC but decided to attend a guild meeting because a discussion of the guild and the blacklist was scheduled. Outside the meeting hall, Eddie spotted the federal marshal who had been trying to serve him.Eddie ducked into the hall and saw the marshal was trying to follow him into the closed meeting. Eddie immediately asked the chair to have the marshal barred, because only member of the guild were permitted. One of the right-wing members raised a point of order and moved the marshal be given temporary membership in the guild and be permitted to enter the hall. This was promptly scheduled; the chair called for a vote... The members voted in favor of the motion. The marshal walked over and served Eddie the subpoena. Interpreting the meaning of this event, Gordon concluded:  "It means that the fear of the consequences were so pervasive for anyone who was seen to opposed the extreme right wing that no one dared to take such a stand openly" and opposed the blacklisting.In 1997, the Writers Guild of America included Huebsch among 24 films that used pseudonyms (or "fronts") for true writers. In 2000, the Writers Guild of America West issued further corrected blacklist credits that included Huebsch:    LITTLE GIANTS (Producciones Olmeca)  Original Credit: Written for the Screen by Hugo Mozo and Eduardo Bueno. (1958)  Corrected Credit: Written for the Screen by Hugo Butler and <mask>. (04/01/97)

Healthcare fraud

<mask> was an expert in prosecuting healthcare fraud, having authored a 954-page textbook on the subject. As U.S. Attorney, <mask> took an interest in the case of San Diego's Alvarado Hospital Medical Center, which was owned by Tenet Healthcare Corporation, the nation's second-largest hospital chain. In 2002, government agents raided the hospital. In June 2003, the hospital's chief executive, Barry Weinbaum, was indicted on one count of conspiring to violate the federal anti-kickback statute and seven counts of offering and paying illegal remuneration. The hospital and a Tenet unit were indicted a month later. On February 17, 2005, a mistrial was declared when the jury failed to reach a verdict. <mask> personally prosecuted the case in a second trial; after seven months in the courtroom and a record of four months of jury deliberation, the judge declared another mistrial on April 4, 2006.Tenet settled. Denying that it paid kickbacks to doctors for referrals of patients to Alvarado, Tenet paid $21 million to the government, agreed to sell Alvarado Hospital  and admitted that the case has led to "significant reforms" at hospitals around the country and that the company had been "distressed" to learn of "excessive payments" to some doctors. Anti-corruption activity

Attorneys on <mask>'s staff, including Assistant United States Attorneys Jason Forge, Phillip Halpern and Valerie Chu, secured indictments against Central Intelligence Agency official Kyle "Dusty" Foggo and contractor Brent R. Wilkes. Wilkes figured in the Cunningham scandal. The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, has reported that <mask> was investigating Republican Congressman Jerry Lewis at the time of her dismissal. The Los Angeles Times, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel and Senator Chuck Schumer, and others, asserted that <mask> was investigating Jerry Lewis, suggesting that her firing by the Bush administration was politically motivated. However, The Washington Post and other news organizations reported that the investigation into Lewis was being run out of the U.S. Attorney's office in Los Angeles in coordination with the Los Angeles FBI field office.In January 2006, Lam announced the indictment of San Diego Gas & Electric on five counts of environmental crimes regarding mishandled asbestos removal during the decommissioning of the Encanto Gas Holder site in Lemon Grove, California. A conviction as to some counts was reached by a jury after trial. In December 2006, an attorney on Lam's staff, Assistant United States Attorney Christopher Alexander, convicted the Golden State Fence Company of Riverside, CA, and two of its executives, of hiring illegal immigrants. The Golden State Fence Company (a.k.a. Fenceworks, Inc.), was one of the contractors hired by the U.S. government to build the southern U.S. border fence. Mel Kay, founder, chairman and president of Golden State Fence Co., and manager Michael McLaughlin were sentenced to serve three years of probation and perform 1040 hours of community service. Kay was fined $200,000 for his involvement in the crime and McLaughlin was fined $100,000.Golden State was ordered to forfeit $4.7 million of illegal profits generated from hiring the illegal workers.

Forced resignation

On December 7, 2006, Michael A. Battle, director of the Executive Office for US Attorneys, called <mask> and notified her that she must resign no later than January 31, 2007. Battle instructed <mask> to explain that she had decided to pursue other opportunities. Following that phone call, <mask> called Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty to find out why she was being asked to resign. McNulty said he wanted to take some time to respond since he didn't want to give an answer "that would lead" <mask> down the wrong path. McNulty added that he knew <mask> had been through a long trial (presumably the Alvarado Hospital case) and had great respect for her.In a follow-up call with Battle, <mask> requested additional time to ensure an orderly transition from office. On January 5, 2007, Battle said her request was "not being received positively" and that <mask> "should stop thinking in terms of the cases in the office". Battle insisted that <mask> had to depart in weeks, not months, and these orders were "coming from the very highest levels of government". <mask> submitted her resignation January 16, 2007, effective February 15. Many prominent Democrats, including Senators Charles Schumer and Dianne Feinstein, allege that <mask>'s firing was part of a broader, vengeful move against prosecutors that have pursued political corruption cases that damaged the careers of Republican politicians, or that were not loyal enough to either the Republican Party or the Administration. Republican Congressman Darrell Issa has stated that he takes "maybe one-twentieth" of the responsibility for <mask>'s firing. Statistics compiled by <mask>'s office corroborate the assertion that total prosecutions in border crossing cases have declined over <mask>'s tenure.However, the Justice Department itself defended <mask> in an August 23, 2006, letter to Senator Feinstein. They asserted:

The immigration philosophy of the Southern District focuses on deterrence by directing its resources and efforts against the worst immigration offenders and by bringing felony cases against such defendants that will result in longer sentences. For example, although the number of defendants who received prison sentences between 1–12 months fell from 896 in 2004 to 338 in 2005, the number of immigration defendants who received sentences longer than 60 months rose from 21 to 77. Prosecutions for alien smuggling in the Southern District under U.S.C. sec. 1324 are rising sharply in Fiscal Year 2006. In her own defense, <mask> echoed the Justice Department's August letter, emphasizing quality prosecutions over sheer quantity."When you take on more difficult investigations, the number of prosecutions might not be as high, but you have a larger impact on crime in the community." During her tenure as U.S. Attorney, <mask> received both the Director's Award for Superior Performance and the Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service. United States Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, a Republican member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, stated on his April 1, 2007, appearance on NBC's Meet the Press broadcast:

Senator Hatch's description of <mask>, however, was inaccurate; <mask> was never a campaign manager for any candidate, nor a law professor, and she is an experienced prosecutor. After a week of controversy, Hatch wrote a letter to Tim Russert claiming that he "mispoke" in naming <mask> several times, intending instead to name Alan Bersin, <mask>'s predecessor; however, Bersin likewise had never been a law professor and was an experienced trial lawyer. Later career
When she left the U.S. Attorney's position in February 2007, she accepted the position of senior vice president and legal counsel for Qualcomm. She was named Attorney of the Year by the San Diego County Bar Association in February 2007. Los Angeles Daily Journal named to the list of "Top 75 Women Litigators".<mask> has been frequently mentioned as a potential nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States by observers of Barack Obama's administration.

<mask> (22 December 1723 – 20 June 1787) was a German composer of the Classical era. He was a renowned player of the viola da gamba, and produced significant compositions for that instrument. Life

<mask> was born in Köthen, a small German city, where his father, <mask>, had worked for years as the principal viola da gamba and cello player in the court orchestra. In 1723 <mask> senior became director of the orchestra, when the previous director, Johann Sebastian Bach, moved to Leipzig. The young <mask> later boarded at St. Thomas School, Leipzig, where he was taught by Bach. On Bach's recommendation in 1743 he was able to join Johann Adolph Hasse's court orchestra at Dresden, where he remained for fifteen years. In 1759 (or 1758 according to Chambers), he went to England and became chamber-musician to Queen Charlotte, in 1764.He gave a concert of his own compositions in London, performing on various instruments, one of which was a five-string cello known as a pentachord, which had been recently invented by John Joseph Merlin. In 1762, Johann Christian Bach, the eleventh son of J.S. Bach, joined him in London, and the friendship between him and <mask> led, in 1764 or 1765, to the establishment of the famous Bach-Abel concerts, England's first subscription concerts. In those concerts, many celebrated guest artists appeared, and many works of Haydn received their first English performance. For ten years the concerts were organized by Mrs. Theresa Cornelys, a retired Venetian opera singer who owned a concert hall at Carlisle House in Soho Square, then the height of fashionable events. In 1775 the concerts became independent of her, to be continued by <mask> and Bach until Bach's death in 1782. <mask> still remained in great demand as a player on various instruments new and old.He traveled to Germany and France between 1782 and 1785, and upon his return to London, became a leading member of the Grand Professional Concerts at the Hanover Square Rooms in Soho. Throughout his life he had enjoyed excessive living, and his drinking probably hastened his death, which occurred in London on 20 June 1787. He was buried in the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church. One of <mask>'s works became famous due to a misattribution: in the 19th century, a manuscript symphony in the hand of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was catalogued as his Symphony no. 3 in E flat, K. 18, and was published as such in the first complete edition of Mozart's works by Breitkopf & Härtel. Later, it was discovered that this symphony was actually the work of <mask>, copied by the boy Mozart—evidently for study purposes—while he was visiting London in 1764. That symphony was originally published as the concluding work in <mask>'s Six Symphonies, Op.7. In 2015 new manuscripts of <mask>'s viola da gamba music were found in the library of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, in a collection from the Maltzahn family palace in the town of Milicz in Poland, originally brought back from London by .

<mask>pa <mask> (born 28 January 1958) is an Australian politician. She was member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly between 2005 and 2016, representing the electorate of Namatijra (known as MacDonnell until 2012). Currently an independent, she has previously served as a minister for both the Labor Party and Country Liberal Party and been territory leader of the Palmer United Party. <mask> entered the Northern Territory Assembly as a star candidate for the Labor Party in the 2005 election. She was re-elected unopposed as the Member for MacDonnell in the August 2008 Territory election and with the subsequent return of the Henderson Labor Government was appointed to the Cabinet. She held variously the positions of Minister for Natural Resources, Environment and Heritage, Minister for Parks and Wildlife, Minister for Arts and Museums and Minister for Indigenous Policy. <mask> left the Cabinet and the Labor Party in 2009, after a dispute over Indigenous housing, and then sat as an independent for two years; she joined the opposition Country Liberal Party in 2011 and was elected as a Country Liberal candidate at the 2012 election.She resigned from the CLP in 2014, along with two other Indigenous MPs, briefly becoming an independent once again. However, on 27 April 2014 it was announced that the three MLAs had joined the Palmer United Party, with <mask> serving as parliamentary leader. She resigned from Palmer United to sit as an independent on 29 November 2014. It was briefly rumoured that she was returning to the CLP amid the 2015 CLP leadership spill, but she remained an independent. <mask> speaks six Indigenous languages: Anmatyerre, Luritja, Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri, Western Arrernte and Yankunytjatjara. She is also an accomplished artist. She is among Australia's most senior Indigenous politicians, and has been a prominent Indigenous activist, including as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) Central Zone Commissioner (see: List of Indigenous Australian politicians).Her partner is Nicolas Rothwell, journalist with The Australian. <mask> retired at the 2016 Territory election. Early life and career

<mask> was born in the remote community of Haasts Bluff and was raised in a number of other communities, including Hermannsburg and Papunya. She moved to Alice Springs to attend school, studying at Traeger Park School, Alice Springs High School, and St Philip's College. She subsequently received a Diploma of Community Management from the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education. Returning to Papunya, she was elected chief executive officer of the Papunya Community Council in 1985, a role which she fulfilled until handing it over to her husband, Steve Handley, in 2000. She thereby became a prominent representative for the town, then as now one of the country's most impoverished communities, where basic services failed entirely at times.In this role, <mask> was heavily involved throughout the 1990s in conflicts with successive Country Liberal Party territory governments over the provision of electricity, education, and health services. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission
<mask> was first elected as the ATSIC Commissioner for the Northern Territory Central Zone in November 1999. She developed a reputation as an advocate for women's rights within the organisation, and in 2003, was involved in the creation of ATSIC's women's advisory board. She became seen as a leading contender for chairperson of the organisation, and in 2002, unsuccessfully challenged veteran leader Geoff Clark. Eight months later, she nominated for the position of deputy chairperson after the resignation of Ray Robinson, but was defeated by one vote despite Robinson's endorsement. She supported the federal government's decision to abolish ATSIC in 2004, declaring that reform of the organisation was overdue, but was sharply critical of their decision to replace it with only a consultative committee. She was nevertheless appointed by the federal government as a Central Australian representative to their Round Table on Indigenous issues later that year.Northern Territory parliamentarian

In late 2004, <mask> announced her intention to contest Labor preselection for the seat of MacDonnell, traditionally a safe Labor seat, but then held by two-term CLP member John Elferink. She had previously been preselected by the party to stand at the 2001 election, but had withdrawn. She subsequently resigned from the ATSIC board, and was confirmed as the Labor candidate in March. She was widely seen as a star candidate during the campaign, due to her high profile in Central Australia, stemming from her work as an ATSIC Commissioner. Her campaign suffered an early blow when her husband was charged with stealing offences in February. She suffered a further blow when, through April and May, the Alice Springs News and The Age aired sweeping allegations of corruption and mismanagement during her husband's administration of Papunya. She resisted calls from the opposition to stand aside as the candidate, dismissing the claims as a smear campaign.In spite of the allegations, she was easily elected in June, defeating Elferink with a swing of more than 30%. The Papunya scandal continued to afflict <mask> in her first months in parliament, as the Commonwealth government launched an investigation into allegations of misuse of government funds by the town administration. This escalated in September, when her now-estranged husband, against whom she had taken out a restraining order, filed a statutory declaration with police alleging that <mask> was responsible for corrupt activities during his administration, and had attempted to bribe elders during her campaign. She was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing in the police investigation. The Commonwealth investigation, while reporting widespread missing funds, did not attribute responsibility for this to <mask>. However, allegations of mismanagement persisted in the media for months afterwards. As her electorate represents much of Central Australia, <mask> has often acted as a spokesperson on issues affecting the communities in the area.In May 2007, she risked expulsion from the party by joining Barbara McCarthy and Karl Hampton in crossing the floor to vote against a government bill to allow the continuation of mining at the McArthur River Mine, near Borroloola. Party switches and retirement
<mask> was re-elected unopposed in 2008, and continued to be critical of the Henderson government. Finally, she resigned from the Labor Party on 4 August 2009, commenting that "I'm not happy with the way we have conducted ourselves as a government." She also noted her unhappiness that Chief Minister Paul Henderson did not speak out in her defence following an article severely criticising her written by journalist Nigel Adlam in the Northern Territory News. The resignation comes after <mask> had been very critical of the Northern Territory government about what she considered to be the inefficient operation of the $672 million Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program. On 8 September 2011, she joined the Country Liberal Party, the opposition party in the Territory. She was one of 12 high-profile Indigenous Australians to join the CLP that day.Thereafter, <mask>'s former party attacked her record prior to her entry to Parliament and promotion to their Cabinet, repeating allegations made in Russell Skelton's book King Brown Country: The Betrayal of Papunya. The Country Liberal Party was swept into office in the 2012 Northern Territory general election, ending 11 years of Labor rule. The victory was notable for the support it achieved from Indigenous people in pastoral and remote electorates; a total of five Aboriginal CLP candidates won election to the Assembly. <mask> won a smashing victory in the new electorate of Namatjira, essentially a reconfigured version of MacDonnell. She was appointed Minister for Indigenous Advancement. In a nationally reported speech in November 2012, <mask> condemned welfare dependency and a culture of entitlement in her first ministerial statement on the status of Aboriginal communities in the Territory and said the CLP would focus on improving education and on helping create real jobs for Indigenous people. <mask> was dropped from cabinet after the CLP only won five booths in the federal seat of Lingiari, which has the most Indigenous voters in Australia.This, combined with a factional struggle coming to a head, resulted in <mask> being dropped from cabinet on 9 September. In March 2014, she walked out of parliament after accusing the CLP of failing to keep promises made for the bush, including the reinstatement of a ministry for Aboriginal affairs. The Chief Minister at that time, Adam Giles, responded by suspending her from the CLP parliamentary wing. On 3 April, <mask> and two other Indigenous MPs, Larisa Lee and Francis Xavier Kurrupuwu, resigned from the CLP, slipping their resignation letters under the door of the CLP office in Darwin. According to The Australian, they were laying the groundwork for a new party to speak for regional interests. However, on 27 April, it was announced they would be joining the Palmer United Party instead, with <mask> as the party's Northern Territory leader and the aim of campaigning to become Chief Minister at the 2016 election. This did not last long, and she became an independent once again later in 2014.On 3 August 2016, <mask> announced her retirement, effective with the 2016 election. She said that she never intended to serve for more than three terms. Despite her previous fraught relationship with Labor, she campaigned for the Labor candidates in both her seat and the neighbouring seat of Stuart; both won resoundingly in Labor's massive landslide that year.
