Charles Goodell
Charles Ellsworth Goodell Jr.( March 16, 1926 January 21, 1987) was an American United States House of Representative and a United States Senator from New York.
In both cases he came into office following the deaths of his predecessors, first in a special election and second as a temporary appointee.
He was elected to four terms in Congress after winning his first race in 1960.
He resigned on September 9, 1968, to accept an appointment by Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller to fill the vacancy caused by the assassination of United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968.
Having earned the support of both the Republican and Liberal parties in 1970, he lost in a three- way race to Conservative Party candidate James L. Buckley, having split the liberal vote with Democratic Party candidate Richard Ottinger.
Goodell was the father of National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Roger Ascham
Roger Ascham( c. 151530 December 1568) was an English scholar and didactic writer, famous for his prose style, his promotion of the vernacular, and his theories of education.
He acted as Princess Elizabeth's tutor in Greek and Latin between 1548 and 1550, and served in the administrations of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I.
The name Ascham could be more properly spelt Askham, being derived from Askham near York.
He was born at Kirby Wiske, a village in the North Riding of Yorkshire, near Northallerton, the third son of John Ascham, steward to Baron Scrope of Bolton.
His mother, Margaret, is said to have come from the Conyers family, but this is speculation.
Thomas and John were Roger's two older brothers, while Anthony Ascham was the youngest son of the Ascham family.
The authority for this statement, as for most here concerning Ascham's early life, is his close friend Edward Grant( 1540s – 1601), headmaster of the venerable and still extant Royal College of St. Peter at Westminster—better known as Westminster School—who collected and edited his letters and delivered a panegyrical oration on his life in 1576.
Herb Moford
Herbert Moford( August 6, 1928 – December 3, 2005) was an American right- handed pitcher in Major League Baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals( 1955), Detroit Tigers( 1958), Boston Red Sox( 1959) and New York Mets( 1962).
He was born in Brooksville, Kentucky, stood tall and weighed.
Moford spent each of his four major league seasons with a different team.
His most significant year was 1958 with the Detroit Tigers, when he posted a 4 – 9 record with 58 strikeouts and a 3.61 ERA in 25 games pitched, including six complete games in 11 starts.
In 157 career MLB innings, Moford had a 5–13 record with 78 strikeouts, a 5.03 ERA, and three saves.
On April 11, 1962, Moford was one of four Met pitchers in the first game in franchise history, an 11 – 4 defeat against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
The other pitchers used by Mets' manager Casey Stengel were Roger Craig( the loser), Bob Moorhead and Clem Labine.
Moford died in Cincinnati, at the age of 77.
Ludvík Souček
Ludvík Souček( 17 May 1926- 26 December 1978 in Prague) was probably the best- known author of science fiction in Czechoslovakia.
He graduated at Medical faculty of Charles University in Prague as a dentist in 1951 and started his professional life at the dental clinic as an assistant.
Later, he joined the military( 1954) and became an officer.
He spent two years( 1954 – 1955) in Korea as a member of Czechoslovak peace mission after Korean War.
Next, he was employed as a dentist in the Central Military Hospital in Prague( 1955 – 1964), then served at Czechoslovak Ministry of National Defence( 1964 – 1968).
He shortly worked at the Central Committee KSČ( Communist Party of Czechoslovakia)( 1968).
The same year he was employed in the military redaction of the Czechoslovak Television as an editor( 1969 – 1971) and later in the Albatros publishing house( 1971 – 1976).
Because of serious disease, he went into disability pension in 1976.
He was a member of KSČ( Communist Party of Czechoslovakia) all his life, and the ideology definitely profoundly influenced his literary work.
In spite of his deep communist persuasion, Souček arguably remains the most popular and most widely known author of Czech Science fiction.
Non-fiction is one of the most important elements in Souček's writings.
Souček is actually best known as the Czech Däniken( Erich von Däniken).
His books of" PortentsTušení souvislosti", 1974," Tušení stínu", 1978) are collections of Däniken- styled non-fiction essays on striking, surprising, obscured, or otherwise" not- yet" explained facts from the history of mankind, which are indeed hard to impossible to explain either given the present day scientific knowledge or our assumptions on the scientific knowledge or technology level of ancient civilizations.
Similarly to his forerunner Däniken, Souček hinted that cultural and architecture phenomena( such as megaliths of Baalbek) some natural catastrophes( such as Tunguska event), mythologies and biblical histories( such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah) can be best explained through an alien, extraterrestrial intervention.
Unlike his predecessor, Souček does not push the idea of an alien intervention too hard, he gives ample space to alternative explanations and never actually states that it must have been" them".
Souček's essays also have rather high scientific standard and contain good discussion of relevant published sources.
Science fiction trilogy of" Blind BirdsCesta slepých ptáků" 1964," Runa rider" 1967," Sluneční jezero" 1968) contains a very strong non-fiction element and it should be seen as continuation of the best Czech Science fiction tradition.
Souček's" Blind Birds" actually mimic the method and composition of" War with the Newts, 1937"( translation of" Válka s mloky", 1936) by Karel Čapek.
Both Čapek and Souček initiate their plot deeply rooted in the present day setting( Čapek 30s, Souček 1960s) and both of them keenly criticize the present day social and political reality.
Souček builds a virtuous mixture of scientific fact and made up archeological discoveries in France, Iceland, Brazil, and Mars.
Both Čapek and Souček develop the fantastic element only very slowly, starting with the very sober 1st book, accelerating in the 2nd, and culminating in the 3rd book as hard SF par excellence:
The victory of Newts and near extinction of human race, Čapek; International( both western and communist powers collaborate) discovery and rescue mission to Mars, Souček.

Elizabeth was married first to William Marshal, 2nd Baron Marshal, and after his death to Dafydd ap Gruffydd, a prince of Gwynedd and brother of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd.

Changhong accused him of defrauding them through bad checks.
Ji was taken, according to an account by his lawyer, to the senior management and told, "I decide whether you live or die."
He has been held in China without charges.
Ji's case highlighted an "implicit racism" in dealings with American businessmen.
