# Unocal Corp. v. Mesa Petroleum Co.

493 A.2d 946 (Del. 1985) is a landmark decision of the Delaware Supreme Court on corporate defensive tactics against take-over bids. Until the Unocal decision in 1985, the Delaware courts had applied the business judgment rule, when appropriate, to takeover defenses, mergers, and sales. In Unocal, the Court held that a board of directors may only try to prevent a take-over where it can be shown that there was a threat to corporate policy and the defensive measure adopted was proportional and reasonable given the nature of the threat.

Source: O'Higgins, Brian. “Who is Ireland's Enemy?” Irish Freedom, September 1914.
Oh, who is Ireland's enemy? Not Germany, nor Spain, Not Russia, France nor Austria; They forged for her no chains, Nor quenched her hearths, Nor razed her homes, Nor laid her altars low, Nor sent her sons to tramp the hills Amid the winter snow.
Who murdered kingly Shane O'Neill?
Who poisoned Owen Roe? Who struck Red Hugh O'Neill down?
Who filled our land with woe By night and day - a thousand times,
In twice four hundred years -
Till every blade of Irish grass
Was wet with blood and tears
Who spiked the heads of Irish priests On Dublin Castle's gate? Who butchered helpless Irish babes, A lust for blood to sate? Who outraged Irish maidenhood, And tortured aged sires, And spread from Clare to Donegal The glare of midnight fires?
Who scourged our land in Ninety-Eight, Spread torment far and wide, Till Ireland shrieked in woe and pain, And Hell seemed fair beside? Who plied the pitch-cap and the sword, The gibbet and the rack? Oh God! that we should ever fail To pay those devils back.
Who slew the three in Manchester, One grim November dawn, While 'round them howled sadistically The Devil's cruel spawn? Who shattered many a Fenian mind In dungeons o'er the foam, And broke the loyal Fenian hearts That pined for them at home?
Not Germany nor Austria, Not Russia, France nor Spain That robbed and reaved this land of ours, And forged her heavy chains; But England of the wily words – A crafty, treacherous foe – 'Twas England scourged our Motherland, 'Twas England laid her low!
Rise up, oh dead of Ireland! And rouse her living men, The chance will come to us at last To win our own again, To sweep the English enemy From hill and glen and bay, And in your name, oh Holy Dead, Our sacred debt to pay!

PREFACE
The annual volumes of Who's Who are confined to those still living. But it has long been felt that it is not the biographies of the living only that are required.
To learn details of the career of a distinguished man recently dead, it has so far been necessary to look him up in a back volume of Who's Who. This entailed on the busy journalist, or man of affairs, the necessity for keeping the whole of the past volumes on his shelves. To obviate the biographies of all those who died between 1897 and 1916 (the first twenty years of the new issue of Who's Who) have now been re-edited and collected into the present volume, which forms a companion book to the older one, and will probably prove as indispensable.
It had been the intention of the Publishers to bring this volume out in 1916, but difficulties arising out of the war unfortunately rendered that impossible.
24 Sept. 1919

# Weird Tales/Volume 10/Issue 6/The Jungle

From Weird Tales, Volume 10 Issue 6
THE JUNGLE
By Cristel Hastings
The snakelike vines reach out on every side, Weaving a swing where chimpanzees may ride And chatter in the sullen, lifeless noon While all about the purple shadows swoon.
The crumbling logs of trees lie everywhere, Encrusted with rare orchids here and there— Deceiving bits of loveliness to lure Unwary feet that brave the sodden moor.
The moon looks in between the fronded beams Of wicked plants that stand, until it seems The night is made of moss and leaf and bole— A hopeless wood—a place without a soul.
Never a star looks in this silent gloom— This tangled maze of green from Nature’s loom— Never a sound, save macaws' chattering And chimpanzees'—haunting their aerial swing.

WHITE LILIES
By JOSIE McNAMARA LYDON
White lilies grow above your bed; A gleaming marble marks its head. The swaying lilies, bending low, Drip crystal tears; they seem to know I grieve for your dear spirit fled.
The world tramps by with hurried tread; It has no time to mourn the dead, Nor has it solace to bestow Where lilies grow.
Alone my hopeless tears are shed; Alone my futile prayers are said. Dear eyes, that one short year ago Were lit with love's celestial glow— Forever closed; above your bed White lilies grow.
# Ward v. Maryland/Opinion of the Court

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
79 U.S. 163
Ward v. Maryland
Motion to advance the cause filed by the plaintiff in error. Indictment. The parties agreed that the defendant on the day and at the place named in the indictment did sell the articles of merchandise therein named without obtaining a license, as required by the laws of the State. Plea not guilty. Issue tried by court. Finding for the State. He moves the court to advance the cause.
Clearly the motion is not within the act of Congress of the thirtieth of June, 1870, as the motion is not filed by the State, nor by a party claiming under the laws of the State.
Probably it is made under the thirtieth rule of the court, which provides that criminal cases may be advanced by leave of the court on motion of either party. Under that rule the motion is addressed to the discretion of the court, and inasmuch as it appears that the defendant is not in jail, the court fails to see any reason for granting the motion.
MOTION DENIED.

United States Supreme Court
79 U.S. 163
Ward v. Maryland
ON motion to advance this cause, one in error to the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland.
An act of Congress, passed June 30th, 1870, and quoted also in the preceding case, enacts:
'That in all suits and actions . . . now pending, or which may hereafter be brought, in any of the courts of the United States, whether original suits in courts of the United States or brought into said courts by appeal or writ of error, . . . wherein a State is a party, or where the execution of the revenue laws of any State may be enjoined or stayed by judicial order or process, it shall be the duty of any court in which such case may be pending, on sufficient reason shown, to give such cause the preference and priority over all other civil causes pending in such court between private parties.
'And the State, or the party claiming under the laws of the State, the execution of whose revenue laws is enjoined or suspended, shall have a right to have such cause heard at any time after such cause is docketed in such court in preference to any other civil cause pending in such court between private parties.'
And the 30th rule of this court prescribes:
'All cases on the calendar, except cases advanced as hereinafter provided, SHALL be heard when reached in the regular call of the docket, and in the order in which they are entered.'
'Criminal cases may be advanced, by leave of the court, on motion of either party.'
With this enactment and this rule in force on Ward had been convicted, in one of the inferior State courts of Maryland, on an indictment for trading without having a license, as required by the laws of that State, and the judgment was affirmed in the Court of Appeals. It appeared that Ward was not in jail. The case being now here on writ of error this motion was made to advance the hearing of it.
Mr. Justice CLIFFORD delivered the opinion of the court.

The abandonment of a ship by her owners to the underwriters does not operate to ratify the title of one who claims her under an unauthorized sale by the master.
THIS was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Louisiana.
The circumstances of the case are stated in the opinion of the court.
It was submitted on the record by Mr. Benjamin, for the appellant, and argued by Mr. Stanton, for the appellees.
Mr. Stanton contended that the offer to abandon did not constitute a ratification of the sale by the master, and cited Phillips on Ins. § 1576; Abbott on Shipping, 19; 18 Pickering, 83; Phillips on Ins. § 1497; 2 Peck, 249; 5 Pet. 604; 15 Mass. 341; 9 Johns. 21; 1 Caines, 573; 18 Peck, 83.

# Woman of the Century/Frances Irene B. Griswold

​GRISWOLD, Mrs. Frances Irene Burge, author, born in Wickford, R. I., 28th April, 1826. She is a daughter of Rev. L. Burge and Elizabeth Frances Shaw. Mrs. Griswold inherited from her father, many of those traits of character most FRANCES IRENE BURGE GRISWOLD. . clearly manifest in her writings. He was a man of lofty purposes, broad sympathies and tender Christian piety. The child grew to womanhood beneath the historic shades of St Paul's Narragansett ​Church, of which her father was for twenty years the rector. Mrs. Griswold began to publish her literary work in 1853. and, though thirty-two volumes have already been published, besides innumerable fugitive articles for newspapers and other periodicals, her fruitful pen is not yet idle. Perhaps the most widely known of her books are the "Bishop and Nanette" series, which, as a carefully prepared exposition of the Rook of Common Prayer, have long been in use in advanced classes of Episcopal Sunday-schools; "Sister Eleanor's Brood," a story of the lights and shadows of a country clergyman's family life, in which the gentle, optimistic nature of the author works in its best vein, and which is understood to figure, under a thin veil of fiction, the actual experience of her mother, and the third book, "Asleep," to whose pages so many have turned for comfort in bereavement. Mrs. Griswold is an ardent Episcopalian, and the church has been from her earliest youth a spur to her glowing imagination and the outlet of her abundant energy. Her Christmas and Easter poems represent her most finished poetic work. She has been twice marriea. After the death of her first husband, Allen N Smith, of Stockbridge, Mass., she became the wife of her distant kinsman, Judge Elias Griswold, of Maryland. Judge Griswold passed the latter days of his life in Brooklyn, N. Y., the home through many years of Mrs. Gris- wold's family, where she still resides. Mrs. Griswold descended, on her father's side, from the Mucklestons of Muckleston Manor, Oswestry, and on her mother's side, from the Brentons of Hammersmith, England. Most of her books were written under the name of F. Burge Smith.
