He is best known for working with "headline-making" authors and for negotiating record-setting advances. Since 2002, 112 of his projects have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list, with 22 hitting the #1 position.

## Early life and education

Vigliano was born in New York. His mother, Barbara Murphy Vigliano, was an actress who starred in live television shows in the 1940s, and his father Eli was a lawyer, as is David's brother Dean. Vigliano attended Hunter College, where he graduated magna cum laude with a degree in communications, and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1983.

## Career

Following college, Vigliano returned to New York, where he was hired as the Director of Packaging at Warner Books. There, Vigliano moved beyond the traditional practice of passively acquiring new properties, and instead generated book ideas and pursued new authors. In 1986, with no experience as a literary agent, he founded Vigliano Associates.
While he represents both fiction and non-fiction, Vigliano has received significant attention for securing substantial advances for celebrities, including a reported $4,000,000 advance for Kurt Cobain's journals in 2000. His notable clients have included Michael Jackson, George Noory Justin Timberlake, Mike Tyson, Shaquille O'Neal, Willie Nelson, Joanna Gaines, Chip Gaines, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, David Blaine, Prince, Pearl Jam, Scott Weiland, Rocco DiSpirito, Courtney Love, Anthony Kiedis, Suzanne Somers, and Pope John Paul II.

Vigliano has negotiated film rights for several of his books. Ben Mezrich's Bringing Down the House, was the source material for MGM's 21, and The Oldest Rookie, by Jim Morris and Joe Engel, was adapted into the Disney movie The Rookie, starring Dennis Quaid. An article by Mike Sager in GQ was adapted into the Touchstone film Veronica Guerin, starring Cate Blanchett.
In 2012, he started Vigliano Books, an electronic book publishing venture that has worked with authors such as Tim Cowlishaw, Richard Belzer, David Blaine, Linda Davies, and Jerry B. Jenkins. Although he continued to run it, in 2014 Vigliano sold the company to Y Entertainment. He reacquired it in April 2020.

## Personal life

Vigliano lives in New York City. He has performed as a stand-up comic at clubs in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York.
# Andrew Wylie (literary agent)

Andrew Wylie (born 1947), known as The Jackal, is an American literary agent.

## Early life

Wylie is the son of Craig Wylie (1908–1976) and Angela (1915–1989) of Oatlands, New York (son of judge Robert Ludlow Fowler, author of many legal texts).
Wylie grew up in Sudbury, Massachusetts, and attended St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, from which he was dismissed in 1965; an interview with his university alumni magazine stated that this was for arranging illicit excursions to Boston for fellow students and supplying them, illegally, with alcohol. When he was a teenager, he spent 9 months in Manhattan's Payne Whitney clinic, a psychiatric hospital, for punching a police officer. He attended, and graduated from, Harvard.

## Family

In 1969, Wylie married his first wife, Christina, whom he had met in college. They had a son together, Nikolas. They got divorced c.1974. In 1980 he remarried. Larry Clark was his best man. He has two additional children.

## Poet

In 1972, Wylie published a short collection of poetry, Yellow Flowers. Many of the verses cited in public sources are sexually explicit in nature. In a 2007 interview, fellow agent Ira Silverberg suggested that Wylie has since attempted to acquire the remaining copies of the collection. Wylie himself denied this allegation, describing Yellow Flowers as a "youthful indiscretion".

## Literary agent

Wylie founded the literary agency named after himself in New York in 1980 with a $10,000 loan from his mother. He opened a second office in London in 1996. It now represents more than 1,300 clients, approximately 10% of which are literary estates.
Throughout his career as a literary agent, Wylie has attracted attention for poaching clients from other agents, and has been nicknamed "The Jackal" for his business tactics. He has been criticized by other agents and publishers for harming the culture of the book industry. In 1995 Martin Amis left his agent of 22 years, Pat Kavanagh, for Wylie, who was reported to have secured an advance of £500,000 for Amis's novel The Information.
In July 2010, Wylie launched a new business, Odyssey Editions, to publish e-books. The first twenty titles were launched on 21 July, available exclusively from Amazon.com. Wylie's friendly attitude towards Amazon was short-lived, however; in 2014 he advised: "If you have a choice between the plague and Amazon, pick the plague." He later went on to liken Amazon's tactics to those of the Islamic State.

# John Warhola

John Warhola (May 31, 1925 – December 24, 2010) was an American businessman who played a pivotal role in maintaining the legacy of his younger brother, pop artist Andy Warhol. He had been assigned responsibility by their father on his deathbed to ensure that Andy attended college and serving as a trustee of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts after his brother's death in 1987. Warhola oversaw the establishment of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art in Medzilaborce, Slovakia.

## Biography

Warhola was born May 31, 1925, in Pittsburgh, the second of three surviving sons of Andrej and Julia Warhola, who were Rusyn immigrants from Miková, now in Slovakia. Shortly before his death in 1942, his father asked Warhola to take responsibility for Andy's college education. Warhola's son recalled that his grandfather had said that "Your role is to take care of Andy and make sure he goes to school, because he's going to be successful someday". Warhola attended vocational school himself and used the proceeds of savings bonds that his father had set aside to pay for Andy's first two years at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and used the money he earned at a series of jobs to pay for Andy's final two years in college.
After Warhol graduated from college and moved to New York City, Warhola kept in touch with his brother on a regular basis, calling him weekly until his death. As part of Andy Warhol's will, Warhola was named as one of the trustees of an organization that would support the arts. As vice president of the foundation for two decades, Warhola helped oversee the creation of museums dedicated to Warhol's work in their native Pittsburgh and in the area of Slovakia where his parents had grown up. Established in 1991, the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art was given some two dozen works of Warhol, as well as other pieces created by the eldest Warhola brother, Paul. Warhola was an active participant at The Andy Warhol Museum located in Pittsburgh's North Side neighborhood, often speaking with children visiting the museum about his brother's work.
A resident of Freedom, Pennsylvania, Warhola died at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh at the age of 85 due to pneumonia on December 24, 2010.

# Nagaoka Nobuko

Nagaoka Nobuko (長岡延子, 1928 – May 25, 1945) was a Japanese pianist. She was a pupil of Leo Sirota and, along with Sonoda Takahiro, considered to be one of the most talented Japanese pianists of her generation. She died with her mother on May 25, 1945, during the Yamanote Air Raid.

## Biography

Nagaoka was born in 1928 to parents Haruo and Hiroko; her father was the eldest son of physicist Nagaoka Hantarō.
Early in her childhood she studied piano with Sonoda Kiyohide, the father of Takahiro. She quickly developed into a child prodigy. Beate Sirota Gordon called Nagaoka an "absolute genius" who regularly read Leo Tolstoy novels from a young age.
In the late 1930s she began to study with Leo Sirota and was considered, along with Sonoda Takahiro, to be the most talented Japanese pianist of her generation. In 1939 she made her public debut in a program played by Sirota students. She played Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Chūō Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sirota.
During the Pacific War, Nagaoka continued to perform concerts, including with Sirota. She also continued to study with him, even after he and other foreign-born residents were forcibly relocated to Karuizawa in 1944.
In May 1945 Nagaoka came to Tokyo to stay with a relative. While there she began to prepare the Études by Frédéric Chopin for performance. She also taught piano. On May 25, American aircraft firebombed Tokyo for the fifth and final time in the Yamanote Air Raid. Nagaoka and her mother fled to an air raid shelter in Kōjimachi where they both died. Nagaoka was found holding a score she had recently borrowed from her friend and fellow Sirota student, Fujita Haruko.
The following day, on May 26, the remains of Nagaoka and her mother were cremated. Her friend Iwasa Miyoko [ja] came to help clean up the Nagaoka family home and attend the cremation. She later wrote:
   I [...] witnessed [Nobuko and her mother's] cremation by her father, who had happened to be away that day [of the bombing] and was the only member of the family to survive. They looked so beautiful, as if they were only sleeping. They both were laid on the burnt piano. Her father said, "Look at all her scores." He scooped up the burnt ashes in his hand and poured them over their bodies.
Sonoda Takahiro later said of Nagaoka that she "had much greater talent" than he. Fujita described her life as that of "a bud that never blossomed". Nagaoka's Knabe upright piano was bequeathed to Sonoda in 1946.

# Ceratonova shasta

Ceratonova shasta (syn. Ceratomyxa shasta) is a myxosporean parasite that infects salmonid fish on the Pacific coast of North America. It was first observed at the Crystal Lake Hatchery, Shasta County, California, and has now been reported from Idaho, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska.

## Life history

In addition to the fish host, C. shasta infects a freshwater polychaete worm. Actinospores are released from the worm, and infect fish, on contact, in the water column. Neither horizontal (fish to fish), nor vertical (fish to egg) transmissions have been documented under laboratory conditions, suggesting that the worm host is necessary for completion of the life cycle.
Spores are released back into freshwater system after its fish host dies, however the complete life cycle, host and vector interaction is not fully understood (especially the ecology of the polychaete host).
Research indicates that the potential for infection is enhanced when water temperatures are high, water flow is low, or numbers of infectious C. shasta are relatively high. Infection rates appear to be higher in or below still water environments than riverine ones.

## Pathology of infection

Clinical indications of infection in salmons include lethargy, loss of body mass, darkening of the skin, ascites, exophthalmia and kidney pustules, These symptoms vary from one salmonid species to another, and also depend on life stage of the host.
Internally, infection with C. shasta affects entire digestive tract, liver, gall bladder, spleen, gonads, kidney, heart, gills, and muscle tissues. Infection with C. shasta in adult chinook salmon causes mortality through intestinal perforations and co-occurring bacterial infections.
Cold temperatures and salinity may reduce progress of disease, but do not eliminate infection. Progression of infection and mortality is temperature dependent, with higher temperature increasing disease progression and resulting in quicker mortality.

## Disease resistance

Salmonid stocks exhibit variable resistance to C. shasta. Resistance is variable and may be compromised by environmental conditions which enhance infectivity. Salmonid stocks which are resistant to C. shasta are not necessarily resistant to other myxosporean infections, such as Myxobolus cerebralis.

## Dams and proliferation

Dammed rivers are associated with the proliferation of C. shasta. The dams on the river Klamath resulted in the colonization of large areas with polychaete worms which are a secondary host of C. shasta. Dammed areas tend to cause overcrowding of fishes which is associated with C. shasta infection. Plans for the removal of the dams on the Klamath are underway.

# Cheshire Crown Glass Company

The Cheshire Crown Glass Company was established in 1812 in Cheshire, Massachusetts, to take advantage of the high-quality sand (silica) in the area. The company was organized by Darius Brown, John Brown, John D. Leland, Ambrose Kasson, and John Hunt, and incorporated in an act approved by Massachusetts Governor Marcus Morton on February 25, 1815. The capitalist behind the company, Captain Daniel Brown (father to Darius and John), ran a store and distillery in conjunction with the glass works.
The company produced crown glass for windows, using sand from the "Lane bed" in nearby Lanesborough, Massachusetts. However, the company was not successful, and closed down only a few years later in 1816. Unknown to the owners of the Cheshire Crown Glass Company, the factory was built over sand of even finer quality than that of the Lane bed. This bed of sand was discovered under the ruins of the factory in 1845, and led to the founding of the Berkshire Glass Company.
