Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Question: Which Philadelphia professional sport team fantasy mascot was introduced first? Passage 1:In 1907, Fitzgerald presided over the first trial of Harry K. Thaw, who was accused of murder. Thaw was the mentally unstable heir of a railroad baron, and he had killed a renowned architect, Stanford White, who had previously sexually assaulted Thaw's wife, Evelyn Nesbit, who was a famous fashion model and chorus girl. The trial was the subject of intense public interest and was highly sensationalized in the press, becoming one of the earliest examples of the "trial of the century" phenomenon. Fitzgerald ordered the jury to be sequestered, which was a highly unusual step at the time. In a contemporaneous report, the New York Times could only identify one specific previous case in which this had occurred. Fitzgerald had to declare a mistrial when the jury was unable to agree on a verdict. After a second trial in 1908 (under a different judge) ended with verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity and Thaw was incarcerated in a state hospital for the criminally insane but continued to pursue legal challenges to his incarceration, Fitzgerald suffered a nervous breakdown in 1911 that was attributed to the strain of the trial.
Passage 2:In the world of sports, mascots are also used for merchandising. Team mascots are often related to their respective team nicknames. This is especially true when the team's nickname is something that is a living animal and/or can be made to have humanlike characteristics. For more abstract nicknames, the team may opt to have an unrelated character serve as the mascot. For example, the athletic teams of the University of Alabama are nicknamed the Crimson Tide, while their mascot is an elephant named Big Al. Team mascots may take the form of a logo, person, live animal, inanimate object, or a costumed character, and often appear at team matches and other related events, sports mascots are often used as marketing tools for their teams to children. Since the mid-20th century, costumed characters have provided teams with an opportunity to choose a fantasy creature as their mascot, as is the case with the Philadelphia Phillies' mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, and the Philadelphia Flyers' mascot, Gritty.
Passage 3:On 3 March 1982, opposition politician and leader of the MLPC party, Ange-Felix Patasse, returned from exile to the Central African Republic and staged an unsuccessful coup against General Andre Kolingba (who himself took power in the 1981 coup d'etat) with the help of a few military officers, such as General Francois Bozize, who accused Kolingba of treason and proclaimed the change of power on Radio Bangui. Four days later, having failed to gain the support of the Central African Armed Forces, Patasse went in disguise to the French Embassy in the Central African Republic to seek refuge. After heated negotiations between the Kolingba government and France, Patasse was allowed to leave for exile in Togo. Bozize fled to the north of the country with 100 soldiers, before obtaining refuge in France.
