# George Beck (artist)

George Beck (c. 1749 – December 24, 1812) was an artist and poet who flourished in America during the early republic era.

## Biography

Beck was born in England in 1749. He was employed as an instructor in mathematics at Woolwich from 1776, but was afterward dismissed. He emigrated to the United States in 1795, and was employed in painting pictures. One of his paintings, The Great Falls of the Potomac (1796) was purchased by President George Washington. Washington hung the painting in his parlor at Mount Vernon, where it remains today.
Beck also wrote short poems, made poetic translations from Anacreon, Homer, Virgil, and Horace, and in 1812 published Observations on the Comet.
In 1795, he served as a scout in General Anthony Wayne's campaign against the Native Americans.
With his wife Mary Menessier Beck, who was also an artist, Beck conducted a female seminary in Lexington, Kentucky for many years. He died in Lexington on December 24, 1812.

## Review

The obituary of Beck published in the Kentucky Gazette eulogized his nature paintings as one of the best among the works of the contemporary artists. However, he rarely was given any credit for his works and was driven in his later days to a life of drudgery at the school he was running, frustration and bitterness.
Although Beck failed to command the respect and recognition, his paintings of wild nature and western landscapes, "The Potomac River Breaking through the Blue Ridge" and "The Great Falls of the Potomac" purchased by George Washington in 1797, put his work on high esteem. Many of Beck's large paintings adorned the walls of the New Room on the eastern side of Mount Vernon.
# Joe Stevens

Joe Stevens (born Joseph Grady July 25, 1938, in New York City) is an American photographer. He is known for his photos of musicians and bands such as David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, and The Clash. In the 1960s, he managed the Playhouse, a Greenwich Village coffee house, where he began taking pictures of musicians who performed at the coffee house. While working there, he was encouraged by photographer Jim Marshall. Stevens does not have formal training in photography, but worked in the music business as road manager for Miriam Makeba and The Lovin' Spoonful.
Meeting Jim Marshall again at Woodstock, Stevens decided he "had an eye" for photography and would make it his career. Moving to England in 1971-1972, he took photos for the International Times that were credited to "Captain Snaps" until he received a work permit. In 1972, Paul McCartney hired Stevens on the recommendation of his wife Linda McCartney to photograph the Wings Over Europe Tour. Linda McCartney knew Stevens from her career as a photographer.
Stevens worked for the New Musical Express in London for most of the 1970s. Returning to New York City, he photographed the CBGB club scene, capturing early images of Debbie Harry and the Ramones.
Images that are typical of his candid style include Paul McCartney hiding his face in Linda McCartney's arms during their arrest for marijuana possession in Sweden. John Lennon wearing plastic bags on his hands while protesting the 1971 obscenity trial of Oz magazine; Peter Gabriel covered with soap bubbles in the bathtub of Stevens's London flat; and the fight between the Sex Pistols and their audience at London's Nashville Rooms in 1976. The Gabriel photo was one of many by Stevens that appeared on the cover of NME.
In January 1978, Stevens photographed the Sex Pistols on their only American tour. When the group broke up in San Francisco, Stevens gave singer Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) airfare to New York City, and Rotten stayed with Stevens in his New York apartment before returning to London.
Stevens describes himself as a chronicler of history. In 2015, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth said Stevens "was really the bridge between New York and London. . . . He was really significant in the whole history that was developing in new music at that time." In 2018, his photographs were used in the biography of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and autobiography of British-American media executive Les Hinton.
Stevens's 1965 photograph of Johnny Cash and guitarist Luther Perkins backstage at Carnegie Hall appeared in the 2019 public television series Country Music. His images were included in several retrospective exhibits of rock photography and appear from time to time in the British magazine UNCUT and The New York Times.
Stevens lives in New Hampshire.

# Edna Rankin McKinnon

Edna Bertha Rankin McKinnon (October 21, 1893 – April 5, 1978) was an American social activist for birth control. She was the executive director of the Chicago Planned Parenthood chapter.

## Early life

Rankin McKinnon was the youngest child born to her parents Olive and John Rankin. Her eldest sister, Jeannette Rankin, would become the first woman elected to the United States Congress.

## Education

Rankin McKinnon was elected President of the Suffragette League in 1915. She earned her law degree from the University of Montana School of Law in 1919. She subsequently became the first Montana-born woman to pass the bar exam in Montana. After earning her degree, she married John W. McKinnon without a proper education on birth control. With McKinnon, they had two children before eventually divorcing. While married, she miscarried and became sterile. After her divorce, she attended a lecture on birth control and reproduction given by Mordecai Ezekiel.
Her sister helped her earn a position with the Resettlement Administration. After meeting Margaret Sanger, she was encouraged to become a field worker in Montana to inform women about birth control. From 1937 until 1946, she travelled across the United States to spread the word of birth control as a member of the Margaret Sanger Research Bureau. Rankin McKinnon soon resigned from the Margaret Sanger Research Bureau due to a dislike for new management. She later teamed up with Clarence Gamble and the Pathfinder International Fund. However, due to her brother Wellington's disapproval, she was unable to convince Montana to sell birth control. Gamble offered McKinnon $50 to set up a birth control clinic, which she successfully started, and formed a Planned Parenthood branch in Bali.
She was elected executive director of the Chicago Planned Parenthood chapter in 1947. Under her leadership, she oversaw 10 Planned Parenthood clinics across Chicago. She also earned an honorary degree from the University of Montana in 1974. During that year, Wilma Dykeman published a biography on Rankin McKinnon titled "Too Many People, Too Little Love: Edna Rankin McKinnon: Pioneer for Birth Control."
Rankin McKinnon died on April 5, 1978.
# George M. Ashford

George M. Ashford (January 2, 1868–?) was an American civil engineer and surveyor. He was one of the pioneers of Northern Alaska. He was the first man of his profession to arrive in Nome.

## Early years

Ashford was born near Lisbon, Ohio, January 2, 1868. When he was eight years old, his family moved to Iowa, and he was educated in the public schools of that state, and was subsequently graduated from the Iowa State College in the class of 1892 with the degree of Bachelors in Civil Engineering.

## Career

His first work as an engineer was with the Carnegie Steel Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For a period of three or four years, he was an engineer for the Pittsburgh Bridge Company, engaged in the drafting and construction department. He was sent to North Carolina as an engineer in connection with the construction of George W. Vanderbilt's mansion at Biltmore. Ashford was one of the unfortunate stampeders to the Kotzebue Sound area in 1898. At the time of the excitement caused by the report of the discovery of gold in this region, he and 27 others bought a schooner, in which they made the trip to the Arctic country. Ashford spent the winter of 1898 and 1899 on the Kobuk River, a short distance below Squirrel River. In the spring of 1899, the news of the Anvil strike having previously reached the Arctic slope, he started over the ice with two companions for Nome. They hauled their sleds and accomplished the long and arduous journey in a month's time. They left the Kobuk and started across Kotzebue Sound on May 1. This season was unusually late, and while crossing the ice of Kotzebue Sound they encountered extremely severe weather. On the third day out Dr. De France, one of their traveling companions, became exhausted and froze to death. They were ten days on the ice before they reached Cape Espenberg. After reaching the coast of the Bering Sea and crossing Port Clarence Bay, the season was pretty well advanced, it being the latter part of May, and the ice over the sea in many places was rotten and unsafe. At a place above Sinuk River two men, who were traveling with a dog team and following Ashford's party, narrowly escaped being drowned. The dog team, sledge and all of their supplies were lost by the breaking of the ice. Ashford said that when he arrived within 40 miles of Nome, he saw evidence of the "pencil and hatchet" miners. At this early date, the beach for this distance west of Nome was staked. He arrived at Nome May 31 and found a bustling, thriving mining camp. His most serious regret was that he did not have his surveying transit with him, as there was a pressing demand for the services of a surveyor and much work that he could have done if he had had his instruments. During the early part of this season, Ashford became associated with J. M. Davidson, and they did the first work of surveying and engineering that was ever done on Seward Peninsula. Ashford was one of the engineers of the Miocene Ditch Company, and was later connected with most of the important ditch enterprises of this region.
# Edward H. Clarke

Edward Hedrick Clarke (December 23, 1939 - October 10, 2013) was an American Senior Economist with the Office of Management and Budget, (Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs) involved in transportation regulatory affairs.

## Education

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Clarke was a graduate of Princeton University in 1962 and the University of Chicago, where he received an MBA in 1965. He wrote a doctoral dissertation at the same time, in which he invented the first method for preference revelation, but he failed his doctoral defense because Paul Samuelson and his doctoral advisor George Stigler believed his results to be impossible. Ten years later, in 1978, the University of Chicago economics faculty admitted their mistake and gave him a Ph.D. for his earlier work.

## Career

Clarke worked in public policy at the city/regional (Chicago), State, Federal and international levels. He worked for the Federal government as an economist for more than 35 years. With expertise in transportation economics and policy, he served as an urban economic analyst with the Real Estate Research Corporation of Chicago and the State of Illinois Bureau of the Budget (as economic advisor to the Director). In both of these jobs he was involved in various aspects of transportation finance and planning. He served as special assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury (George P. Shultz) and chief economist at A. I. D's Bureau of Planning and Policy Coordination. During the mid-1970s, he was heavily involved in airline and trucking deregulation and most recently in oversight of Federal regulatory activities affecting transportation.

## Recognition

Clarke's preference revelation work, which he had applied to public project selection, was noted in the Nobel Committee's award of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Economics to William Vickrey. Clarke's 1994 TRB paper (with Wayne Brough and Nicolaus Tideman), entitled "Airport Congestion and Noise, Interplay of Allocation and Distribution" illustrates the potential applicability of the Vickrey–Clarke–Groves mechanism to problems of transportation congestion. This method was the subject of Nobel Prizes awarded in 2007.
