 of broke machinery, to moulder with the clods of the valley — be it so; at least there is an end of pain, care, woes and wants: if that part of us called Mind, does survive the apparent destruction of the man - away with old-wife prejudices and tales! Every age and every nation has had a different set of stories; and as the many are always weak, of consequence they have often, perhaps always been deceived: a man, conscious of having acted an honest part among his fellow creatures; even granting that he may have been the sport, at times of passions and instincts; he goes to a great unknown Being who could have no other end in giving him existence but to make him happy; who gave him those passions and instincts, and well knows their force."

 Senate election effort.In late 2014, Bruning, together with Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, filed a suit in the Supreme Court of the United States in which they asked that Colorado's Amendment 64, which legalized marijuana in that state, be struck down. Bruning and Pruitt argued that the Colorado measure violated the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, since the U.S. Congress had enacted the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, which imposed a nationwide ban on marijuana. In connection with the suit, Bruning declared that marijuana was a "gateway drug that is a detriment to society" and that "I don't want it to be a legal option for my children or your option or anyone's children in this state or in this country." Bruning left office as Nebraska Attorney General with the inauguration of his successor, Doug Peterson, on January 8, 2015. U.S. Senate and gubernatorial elections

In 2007, Bruning entered the race for the U.S. Senate seat then held by Chuck Hagel, and raised more than $1 million for his campaign. Later that year, however, Hagel announced that he would not seek reelection; soon thereafter, former Nebraska Governor Mike Johanns joined the race for the now-open seat. Faced with an overwhelming likelihood that Johanns would win the Republican primary, Bruning withdrew from the campaign almost a year before the election.In late 2010, <mask> announced that he would run in the 2012 election for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Ben Nelson, whose approval ratings in Nebraska had plummeted after he provided the 60th and final vote necessary to break a Republican filibuster and pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In December 2011, Nelson announced that he would not seek reelection. Bruning was seen as the strong front-runner in the Republican primary

 race; former Attorney General and current State Treasurer Don Stenberg, favored by the conservative Tea Party movement, was seen as his strongest challenger. Bruning and Stenberg attacked one another aggressively throughout the campaign. Shortly before the election, the political action committee Ending Spending, financed by Omaha businessman Joe Ricketts, ran a television ad attacking Bruning for buying a lake house together with two executives of Lincoln student-loan firm Nelnet less than a year after Bruning, in his capacity as attorney general, had sought to waive a $1 million penalty against the company. In the primary election, voters delivered an unexpected victory to dark-horse candidate Deb Fischer, who won 41% of the vote to Bruning's 36% and Stenberg's 19%. In 2014, Governor Dave Heineman was barred by Nebraska's term-limits law from running for a third consecutive term.In February of that year, <mask> announced that he would seek the governorship, joining the five candidates who had already declared. His entry into the race, although it came late, made him the perceived front-runner, supplanting Omaha businessman Pete Ricketts. In the course of the campaign, two groups that declined to name their donors purchased $1.3 million in television ads attacking Bruning, who accused Ricketts and his father Joe Ricketts of funding the groups, charges which Ricketts denied. Ricketts won the primary election, with 26.6% of the vote to Bruning's 25.5%; State Senator Beau McCoy received 20.9% and State Auditor Mike Foley 19.2%. Electoral history

A later report on <mask> said that the institution where he was confined was filled with children who were there more often than not because family members were mentally ill and couldn't, or wouldn't, take care of them. At the institution it was felt that <mask>'s mother simply "dumped" him there. Regarding his mother's stated reasons for bringing him there, "staff there did not observe the lying, stealing and out-of-control behavior." His mother was asked to be specific about trouble <mask> caused during home visits, but she failed to do so.She ended up saying

 "she just doesn't want him at home." In fact, <mask> did have an early history of violence, having choked (but not killed) two friends for no reason. His brother remembered Maust beat a squirrel to death with a baseball bat "for fun". The brother recalled that Maust had been molested at an early age. At the hospital Maust was well-behaved, but despondent over his mother's failure to visit him with any regularity. After Maust left the hospital, he came to live at a children's home where, at age 13, he was subjected to unwanted sexual advances by another boy. As a young adult, he worked in construction for his uncle in Wrightsville, Georgia, and was a skilled worker, but was eventually fired after crashing a company truck.<mask> tried to return home to his mother, but she did not want him to return and in fact threatened him with a knife. His mother took him to an Army recruiter and in 1971, at age eighteen, he enlisted in the Army. He completed Basic Training at Fort Lewis and AIT at Fort Ord, and in 1972 was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. He served as a cook, and was by all accounts an able serviceman. He was also a keen bowler, averaging scores as high as 297, and won numerous awards and money prizes in his Army bowling league. Crimes

In 1974, while stationed in Germany he killed a 13-year-old boy, James McClister, the child of American expatriates, and was court-martialed and convicted of manslaughter and larceny (he claimed that the boy's death was the result of an accident on a moped which he had stolen.) He was sentenced to four years of prison at Fort Leavenworth.<mask> requested not to be paroled, but was released in 1977 despite his wishes. In 1979, in his apartment in Chicago, <mask> stabbed a friend while he was sleeping. He was tried for attempted murder. In 1981, <mask> decided to find and kill the 13-year-old who had molested him at the children's home. He was unable to find the boy, but encountered 15-year-old Donald Jones and decided to kill him instead.

texts: Jones was eventually drowned in an Elgin quarry. In Texas, this same year <mask> stabbed a 14-year-old boy, was arrested, and sentenced to 5 years for "causing bodily injury to a child."In 1982, while in jail in Texas, <mask> was extradited to Illinois for the Jones murder. A Cook County sheriff's police officer wrote on a cover sheet of the extradition papers sent to Texas: "Bad Guy. Gacey Type." Originally found unfit to stand trial, he was held in mental health facilities. Ultimately, after those hospitalizations and roughly ten years in jail awaiting trial, <mask> pleaded guilty in 1994 and was sentenced to 35 years. However, he received credit for the 12 years he was held and time off for good behavior; thus he served 17 years altogether and was released in 1999. A fact sheet sent to the Illinois Department of Corrections by the Cook County state's attorney's office after this conviction said,  "This inmate is most likely the most dangerous inmate you will house."The prosecutor urged that <mask> be kept incarcerated, but under the law, <mask> was eligible for this early release. <mask> wrote a five-page letter to the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting to not be released from prison. "He did not meet the criteria to be placed in any other kind of facility," said Dee Dee Short, a Department of Corrections spokeswoman. In 2001, Maust hit an acquaintance six times in the back of the head with a metal pipe in another attempted murder, but he was not prosecuted because the acquaintance, although he reported the incident to police, did not want to pursue prosecution. On December 12, 2003, <mask> was arrested for the strangling death of James Raganyi, 16. Raganyi's body was found encased in concrete in <mask>'s basement in Hammond, Indiana. He was later charged with the deaths of Michael Dennis, 13, and Nick James, 19, similarly wrapped in plastic and encased in concrete.In November 2005, he pleaded guilty for the three murders and was sentenced to three life

 terms. Aftermath

In January 2006, about a month after his last sentencing, <mask> committed suicide by hanging himself in his jail cell. Jail workers found a suicide note in his cell in which he confessed to five killings, and apologized to the victim's families. <mask> was 51 years old. The <mask> case helped lead Indiana public officials to pursue a state amendment requiring for a violent offender registry for convicted murderers. If available, the registry might have reduced the chance of <mask>'s continuance of murder upon release. "Indiana Code Section 11-8-8-7 provides that sex or violent offenders must register with local law enforcement authority.Indiana Code Section 11-8-8-5(18) defines a "sex or violent offender" to include a person convicted of murder." The Indiana Code Section 11-8-8 was enacted in July 2006, as of this date there are four types of offenders:

There are two registry terms of enrollment; 10 years and life. In popular media
In 2009 an official biography entitled Blood Stained: When No One Comes Looking was released by Dory <mask>. Dory, who is married to a distant relative of <mask>'s, was contacted by <mask>'s brother Jeffrey and asked to write a book about him.

<mask> MInstCE () was a Scottish civil engineer, primarily associated with the Stevenson family who designed and built the majority of lighthouses in and around Scotland over several generations. Early life
Brebner was born in Edinburgh on 4 August 1826 to Alexander Brebner (1776–1859) and his wife, Margaret Lawson. He attended Edinburgh High School. His father - Alexander Brebner - worked for Robert Stevenson and the Northern Lighthouse Board as a mason from 1807 to 1810, during the construction of the pioneering Bell Rock Lighthouse. Brebner's role was referenced by Robert Louis Stevenson in his account of his grandfather's magnum opus: "The stowing of the materials upon the rock was the department of Alexander Brebner, mason, who spared no pains in attending to the safety of the stones, and who, in the present state of the work, when the stones were landed faster than could be built, generally worked till the water rose to his middle". Professional career
Brebner followed in his father's footsteps and began a regular apprenticeship as a mason, from which he gained a practical knowledge of building construction. Following successful completion of the Bell Rock lighthouse in 1810, Robert Stevenson became inundated with requests, both for further lighthouses and other civil engineering projects.Initially, he conducted the engineering work largely by himself, but recognising the opportunity behind his newfound prestige began to build relationships with a select group of known workmen, who became apprenticed to him. Likely through his familial connection to the Bell Rock, <mask> became such an apprentice and began to develop as a civil engineer in his own right. <mask> was associated with the Stevenson family engineering firm for the remainder of his life, apart from a brief absence between 1848 and 1850 where he acted as resident engineer for railway works between Thornton and Dunfermline. Muckle Flugga
Following Robert Stevenson's death and the decline of his eldest son, <mask>, work for the Northern Lighthouse board passed to his other sons: David and Thomas. At

 this point, <mask> was also promoted to deputy engineer, making him the most senior non-Stevenson at the firm. In 1854 <mask> was appointed resident engineer for the construction of the Muckle Flugga lighthouse in the northern Shetlands. The project was initiated at the request of the British government, who determined a light necessary to aid Royal Navy vessels en route towards Scandinavia and Russia during the Crimean War.Initially only a temporary light was to be constructed, but this was promoted to a permanent one in consideration of the ferocious weather conditions and remoteness of the site. Over 100 tons of material for construction, such as cement, coal, iron and glass had to be carried up the cliffs on the backs of labourers. Given such difficulties, <mask> was praised by David Stevenson in a letter to the commissioners of the Northern Lighthouse Board for ensuring the project reached successful completion in 1857. Dubh Artach
Brebner was also resident engineer for Thomas Stevenson's Dubh Artach lighthouse from 1867 to 1872. Workman's cottages were built on the islet of Erraid and occupied by approximately 50 workmen under his supervision. From there, it was a fourteen-mile sail to the skerry upon which the lighthouse would be constructed. The first task was to construct a temporary wood and iron barrack for the workmen on the skerry.The sea beat against Dubh Artach so ferociously that the working year was limited to three months in mid-summer. Even during this time, summer gales could result in breaking water falling on the barrack roof 23m above sea level. Indeed, having seized upon a spell of good weather, <mask> and thirteen workmen were caught unawares and became stranded in the barrack for six days. At one moment sea water burst through the trapdoor on the bottom of the barrack terrifying the workmen before retreating with most of their remaining food supplies. The project also coincided with the brief apprenticeship of Robert Louis Stevenson in the family business, who visited in 1870 and noted "it was strange to see our Sabbath services, held, as

 they were, in one of the bothies, with Mr <mask> reading at a table, and the congregation perched about in the double tier of sleeping bunks". Though Robert Louis Stevenson's involvement in the family business was brief, his time on Erraid left a lasting impression: Erraid features in his novella The Merry Men, and is where the shipwrecked protagonist, David Balfour, is washed ashore in Kidnapped. Upon completion of the lighthouse, <mask> was again praised for his efforts – this time by Thomas Stevenson who noted:It would be ungenerous if a great and dangerous work like this were brought unsuccessfully to an end and no praise should be given to such men as Mr <mask> the resident Superintendent, Mr MacGregor the captain of the steamer, Mr Goodwillie the master-builder on the rock and Mr Irvine the landing master.Partnership in Stevenson firm
Brebner also had some oversight of the Chicken Rock lighthouse at the southern end of the Isle of Man, constructed between 1868 and 1875. As well as these large projects, <mask> was heavily involved in the Stevenson's more conventional civil engineering projects including the design and execution of multiple harbours, docks and other works, such as Wick harbour. Though he rarely wrote on engineering matters, <mask> provided valuable to other members of the Stevenson firm in the preparation of their books on harbours, canals, river engineering, lighthouse construction and illumination. Primarily working in collaboration with Thomas Stevenson, <mask> contributed many improvements – both masonry and optical – in lighthouse design. Examples include an improved method for connecting the stone courses at Dhu Heartach; apparatus for comparing the power of lights; experiments aiding the uptake of paraffin as a fuel source for lights; "back prisms", which were communicated to the Royal Scottish Society of Arts by Thomas Stevenson in 1867; and a "refraction protractor” which allowed prisms for lighthouses to be laid approximately twice as quickly as previously. The few papers he did produce were well received: he won a medal for "Modern

 Harbour Construction", read before the Royal Scottish Society of Arts in 1887 and is listed as winner of the Telford Medal for a paper on the "Relative Power of Lighthouse Lenses". By 1878, David and Thomas Stevenson were beginning to suffer bouts of ill health and were nearing retirement.<mask>, along with David's son <mask> Stevenson therefore became full partners in the Stevenson engineering business, and were followed by David's second son Charles Stevenson in 1886. In the same year, <mask> was also elected a member of the Institute of Civil Engineers. The firm's expertise in lighthouse engineering had now begun to spread globally. They had already undertook work in India and, in 1868, had despatched Richard Henry Burton to Japan and now commissions were arriving from New Zealand and China. During this period, much of the engineering decisions were made by <mask> and with the deaths of David and Thomas, he became the senior partner: the business ceased to be monopolised by Stevensons. Brebner oversaw a sea-change in the Northern Lighthouse Board work, with elements increasingly subcontracted out to other firms. Furthermore, the work diversified from building and maintaining lighthouses to include foghorns, beacons and buoys.Family life
Brebner was married to Francis Ann McKay Brebner on 5 December 1850. They had seven children. His eldest son, Alexander, also became a civil engineer specialising in harbours and docks, while his other son Robert emigrated to Canada. He died in Edinburgh on 5 March 1890 after a brief period of illness. He is buried in Rosebank Cemetery along with his wife and two of his children. Over the course of his career, he worked alongside six members and three generations of the famed Stevenson family of lighthouse engineers and was the only non-family-member to become a full partner in the business.

<mask> ( – 28 July 2013) was a Ugandan military officer who served as the third vice president of Uganda from 1977 to 1979 and was one of President Idi Amin's closest associates. In 1978, after <mask> was injured in a suspicious auto accident, troops loyal to him mutinied. Amin sent troops against the mutineers, some of whom had fled across the Tanzanian border, possibly contributing to the Uganda–Tanzania War. As the Ugandan war effort collapsed, <mask> fled to Sudan where he claimed to retain the post of Vice President. He became briefly involved in the rebel activities of the Uganda National Rescue Front before returning from exile in 1987. He struggled with health problems in his later life and died in 2013. Early life
<mask> was born into the Picara clan of the Aringa ethnic group in Yumbe District, Uganda.He enrolled in the Lodonga Demonstration Primary School in Lodonga. After completing the fourth grade, the Catholic missionaries in charge of the school attempted to convert him from Islam to Christianity and gave him the Christian name Christopher. <mask> instead dropped out and never completed his education. As a result of this, he was never fully literate. <mask> practiced polygamy and, over the course of his life, married eight women and fathered multiple children, though by the time of his death he lost seven of his wives to death or divorce. Military career
In 1951 <mask> was drafted into the King's African Rifles. He was trained in Nanyuki, Kenya Colony.During his early years of military service, <mask> acquired property in Keri, Koboko District, Uganda. In 1952 he was promoted to the rank of lance corporal. After additional training and participating in the suppression of the Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya, he was promoted to corporal. After assuming the rank of sergeant major, he enrolled in the police cadet school in Entebbe, Uganda. While on leave he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. On 1 January 1967 the Ugandan government, in an attempt to instill discipline in the Uganda Army, created the Military Police Force and gave command of the unit to <mask> and a second

 lieutenant. After receiving training from the Israelis, he was made captain.Over the next few years he served as second-in command of the Mbarara barracks and the Mbuya army headquarters, and served as a military police instructor as well as officer commanding the Malire Regiment. In 1971, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. That year, Colonel Idi Amin launched a coup d'état and became President of Uganda. <mask> was Amin's uncle and brother-in-law. Two years later he was given command of the army brigade based in Mbale. <mask> was made Uganda Army chief of staff as a concession to the increasingly disgruntled Lugbara troops who had revolted during the Arube uprising in March 1974. In 1975 <mask> was made general and commander of the army.He was later made Minister of Defence. <mask> also became infamous for his extreme corruption, using his positions to siphon off large amounts of government money for himself. In this way, he earned the nickname "Mr. Foreign Exchange". Vice President of Uganda
In January 1977 President Amin removed <mask> from his post as army chief of staff and appointed him Vice President of Uganda. Amin had ruled Uganda without a vice president for six years, and his decision to give Adrisi the job probably stemmed from his wish to appease soldiers who wanted the dismissal of Brigadier Hussein Marella, an ally of Amin who had killed a prominent Lugbara officer. <mask> was instructed to resign from his post as Minister of Defence, but declined to do so. That year a split in the Uganda Army developed between supporters of Amin and soldiers loyal to <mask>, who held significant power in the government and wanted to purge foreigners, particularly Sudanese, from the military.<mask> felt that foreigners were not dependent enough on the regime to support it, and would at their convenience flee back to their lands of origin. He thought that it would be best if the Uganda Army was made up of northern Ugandans who had a larger stake in fighting for it. The resulting tension in the army was further exacerbated when <mask> got in a shootout with Colonel Taban

Despite threatening civilians earlier in his career, <mask> was increasingly viewed by segments of the army and general populace as a proponent of a return to law and order, as he had freed several civilian detainees and publicly condemned extra-judicial killings. He later testified that Amin had summoned him four times to accuse him of plotting a coup, which he repeatedly denied. According to journalist George Ivan Smith, <mask> was also involved in a purge of Langi and Acholi in 1977, during which a large number of civilians were murdered in northern Uganda. By the end of the year he also held the post of Minister of Internal Affairs, having taken over the job after the death of the previous incumbent, Charles Oboth Ofumbi.On the morning of 19 April 1978 while traveling to a police station in Jinja, Adris's car was involved in an accident in Mbalala. A stationed wagon collided with his vehicle from the front, and then his escort vehicle rear-ended his vehicle. A shootout between <mask>'s bodyguards and the security personnel in the escort vehicle ensued, and several people were killed. <mask> was then flown to Cairo for treatment of head injuries and multiple fractures in his leg. While he was there, Amin declared on 8 May that he was stripping him of his positions as Minister of Defence and Minister of Internal Affairs and denounced him for retiring senior prison officials without his knowledge. Amin also demoted or dismissed numerous government officials, most of whom had been supportive of <mask>. Unrest grew in the military as a result of the incident, since many of <mask>'s followers believed that the car accident was a failed assassination attempt orchestrated by Amin.<mask> himself never accused Amin of being behind the accident. After about a month <mask> returned to Uganda and re-assumed his post as vice president. Advised that he should take time to recuperate, he retired to his home in Keri. In 1979 Tanzanian forces and the Uganda National Liberation Front invaded Uganda and occupied the country. When they entered the town of Koboko, the seat of

 the eponymous district, <mask> fled to Kaya, Sudan with over 2,000 cattle. His three-house home was consequently destroyed with dynamite by the Tanzanian-led forces. He, his family, and their entourage initially found refuge in Yei.The Sudanese government later moved him to the village of Lutaya, where many former officials of Amin's regime were housed. While in exile in Sudan, <mask> still claimed to be Vice President of Uganda. Later life
In 1980 <mask>, Moses Ali, and several other military officers of Amin's extant regime formed the Uganda National Rescue Front (UNRF), a rebel group to retake control of Uganda. The following year Ali began attacking Uganda, and the government requested that Sudanese authorities halt <mask>'s and his colleagues' activities. The Sudanese government subsequently arrested them and took them to Juba for questioning. They were released three weeks later. Following Yoweri Museveni's assumption of the Ugandan Presidency, <mask> requested that he be repatriated to Uganda.He was scheduled to return in January 1987, but threats posed by members of the UNRF who wanted to continue the insurgency delayed his return until April. <mask> arrived in Uganda impoverished, and was given a government-owned house in Arua District. The Ugandan government later established a commission to investigate human rights abuses committed during Amin's regime. <mask> testified against his former colleagues. The commission did not find any conclusive evidence that <mask> was involved in any atrocities during his service in the regime. After falling ill in 2008, the Ugandan government flew Adrisi to Mulago Hospital in Kampala. He briefly fell into a coma, but after recovering and being discharged, the government permanently located him to another house in Kampala so it could monitor his health.He died at Mulago Hospital on 28 July 2013 due to complications from a broken leg, diabetes, and hypertension. He was buried in a state funeral in Keri on 1 August. Notes

<mask> (born February 10, 1950) is an American former competitive swimmer and nine-time Olympic champion. He was the most successful athlete at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, winning seven gold medals, all in world record time. This was an achievement that lasted for 36 years until it was surpassed  by fellow American Michael Phelps, who won eight golds at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Between 1968 and 1972, <mask> won nine Olympic golds, a silver, and a bronze, in addition to five Pan American golds, 31 Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) titles and eight National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) titles. During those years, he set 35 world records, two of which were in trials and unofficial. Swimming World Magazine named him World Swimmer of the Year in 1969, 1971, and 1972. He was the third athlete to win nine Olympic gold medals.Early life
<mask> was born on February 10, 1950, in Modesto, California, the first of three children of Lenore Sylvia (Smith) and <mask>. His family is Jewish; his father's family was from Hungary and his mother's, originally surnamed "Sklotkovick", were from Russia. When <mask> was two years old, his family moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, where he swam at Waikiki beach every day. "You should have seen that little boy dash into the ocean. He'd run like he was trying to commit suicide," Lenore <mask> told a reporter for Time in 1968. At age six, his family returned to Sacramento, California, and he began to compete at his local swim club. At age nine, he was training at Arden Hills Swim Club in Sacramento with swimming coach Sherm Chavoor, who mentored six additional Olympic medal winners.<mask> held one world age-group record and 17 national records at the age of 10. When <mask> was 14, his family moved to Santa Clara, where he joined the Santa Clara Swim Club and was trained by coach George F. Haines. From 1964 to 1968, <mask> trained with Haines at SCSC and Santa

In 1966 at age 16, he won the 100-meter butterfly at the AAU national championships, the first of his 24 total AAU titles. The following year, <mask> emerged on the world swimming stage when he set his first world record at a small California meet with a time of 4:10.60 in the 400-meter freestyle. Swimming career

Maccabiah Games

<mask> swam in his first international competition at the 1965 Maccabiah Games.At age 15 in Tel Aviv, he won four gold medals and was named the most outstanding athlete. He returned to Israel in 1969 following the Mexico Olympics to again compete in the Maccabiah Games. This time, he won six gold medals. He was again named outstanding athlete of the Games. In 1985, <mask> lit the torch to open the Maccabiah Games. In 2005, he was a member of the U.S. delegation at the 17th Maccabiah Games. He spoke at the JCC Maccabiah Games Opening Ceremonies, which was held in Richmond, Virginia.The Weinstein JCC in Richmond was one of the Host JCC's for the 2005 games with over 1,000 teenagers participating in various sports, including swimming. Pan American Games

He won five gold medals at the 1967 Pan American Games, setting a record that lasted until 2007 when Brazilian swimmer, Thiago Pereira, won six golds at the XV Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro. 1968 Olympics

<mask> was already the holder of ten world records, and he brashly predicted that he would win six gold medals at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. However, he won only two team golds: the 4×100-meter freestyle relay in 3:31.70, and the 4×200-meter freestyle relay in 7:52.33. In addition, <mask> finished second to fellow American Doug Russell in the 100-meter butterfly.

 they had swum against each other that year. Russell did briefly match <mask>'s world record in late August 1967, holding the record equally with <mask> for five days before <mask> regained it solely on October 2, 1967.As a result of being beaten by Russell, <mask> did not get to swim in the 4×100-meter medley relay, which gave Russell his second gold medal and the USA team another world record performance. College training

Spitz was disappointed in his 1968 Olympic performance. in January 1969, he decided to attend Indiana University to train with legendary Indiana Hoosiers swimming coach Doc Counsilman, who was also his Olympic coach in Mexico City. He called choosing Indiana and Counsilman "the biggest decision of my life (and) the best." While at Indiana, <mask> won eight individual NCAA titles. In 1971, he won the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States. Spitz also set a number of world records during the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials held in Chicago's Portage Park in 1972.He was nicknamed "<mask> the Shark" by his teammates. 1972 Olympics

At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, <mask> was back to repeat his quest for the six gold medals. He did even better, winning seven Olympic gold medals. Furthermore, <mask> set a new world record in each of the seven events – 100-meter freestyle (51.22), 200-meter freestyle (1:52.78), 100-meter butterfly (54.27), 200-meter butterfly (2:00.70), 4×100-meter freestyle relay (3:26.42), 4×200-meter freestyle relay (7:35.78), and 4×100-meter medley relay (3:48.16). Spitz was originally reluctant to swim the 100-meter freestyle, fearing that he would not win the gold medal. Minutes before the race, he confessed on the pool deck to ABC's Donna de Varona, "I know I say I don't want to swim before every event, but this time I'm serious. If I swim six and win six, I'll be a hero.If I swim seven and win six, I'll be a failure." <mask> won by

 half a stroke in a world-record time of 51.22 seconds. <mask> is one of five Olympians to win nine or more career gold medals: Larisa Latynina, Paavo Nurmi, and Carl Lewis also have nine; only Phelps has won more with 23. <mask>'s record of seven gold medals in a single Olympics was not surpassed until Phelps broke the record at the 2008 Summer Olympics. After he had completed his events, <mask> left Munich early as a result of the Munich Massacre, where eleven Israeli athletes were taken hostage and later murdered by Palestinian terrorists. Being Jewish himself, there was concern among the Olympic authorities that <mask> would become a likely target for the Palestinians and he was escorted to London for his own safety. It is believed that he was escorted out of the country by US Marines stationed in West Germany.Retirement

Following the Munich Olympics, <mask> retired from competition even though he was only 22 years old. At age 41, <mask> attempted a comeback for the 1992 Summer Olympics after filmmaker Bud Greenspan offered him a million dollars if he succeeded in qualifying. <mask>'s comeback attempt made the cover of Parade and was also reported on in Sports Illustrated and Esquire. Filmed by Greenspan's cameras, <mask> was two seconds slower than the Olympic standard and failed to qualify.

Family life

When Spitz returned from the Olympics, he began dating Suzy Weiner, a UCLA theater student and part-time model, who also was the daughter of one of his father's business acquaintances.Less than a year after the Munich Olympics, they were married on May 6, 1973, in a traditional Jewish service at the Beverly Hills Hotel. They have two sons, Matthew (born October 1981) and Justin (born September 1991). Justin was a member of the Stanford swim team. <mask> and his wife reside in Los Angeles, California. Education
At Indiana University from 1968 to 1972, <mask> was a pre-dental student and member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Time magazine asked him if he wanted to return to dental school after the Olympics. "I always wanted to be a dentist from the time I was in high school, and I was accepted to dental school in the spring of 1972.I was planning to go, but after the Olympics there were other opportunities. I did some television and speaking engagements, and things just went from there." <mask> graduated from Indiana University in 1972. Post-swimming career
After <mask>'s return to the United States following the 1972 Olympics, he landed several lucrative corporate endorsement contracts. He earned about $7 million in a two-year period. "A million dollars in 1972

 would be equivalent to more than $10 million today," Spitz said. "I did very well, thank you very much."<mask> added, "I would say I was a pioneer. There wasn't anyone who'd gone to the Olympics before me who capitalized the same way on opportunity. It depends on timing, it depends on hype, it depends on the economy, and most importantly, it depends on looks. I mean, I've never seen a magazine of uglies. That's our society. I'm not saying it's right. That's just the facts."<mask> went on to start a real estate company. Per his official website, <mask> is self-employed as a corporate spokesperson and motivational speaker. However, Sports Yahoo! lists his occupation as a stock broker and motivational speaker. According to one interview, "<mask> became a stockbroker in 2002 and has since moved into private equity. He is now also dabbling in the 'water business', as he calls it, and is in negotiations to build a water-bottling facility on aquifer-rich land that he and a business partner own." <mask> has pursued various entrepreneurial projects with former NBA player Rick Barry.He travels the world, delivering about 25 lectures a year. His biography, The Extraordinary Life of An Olympic Champion by Richard J. Foster, was released in July 2008. In July 2012, he endorsed Istanbul's bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, but the award went to Tokyo. Hobbies
His hobbies include sailing, skiing and collecting art. Famous moustache during Olympics

In an era when other swimmers, male and female, were shaving body hair, he swam with a moustache. When asked why he initially grew one he stated "I grew the moustache because a coach in college said I couldn't grow one."<mask> said he originally grew the moustache as a form of rebellion against the clean-cut look imposed on him in college. "It took a long time to grow," he said. It took four months to grow, but <mask> was proud of it, he decided the moustache was a

 "good-luck piece". <mask> is quoted as saying, "When I went to the Olympics, I had every intention of shaving the moustache off, but I realized I was getting so many comments about it—and everybody was talking about it—that I decided to keep it. I had some fun with a Russian coach who asked me if my moustache slowed me down. I said, 'No, as a matter of fact, it deflects water away from my mouth, allows my rear end to rise and make me bullet-shaped in the water, and that's what had allowed me to swim so great.' According to a Sports Illustrated article, on February 14, 1988, after talking about shaving off his moustache for a year, he finally did."He looked great with it, don't get me wrong," explained his wife Suzy, "but he looks so handsome without it." When he was asked why he shaved it off he responded "well, one, I'm not swimming anymore; two, it started to turn gray; and three, my wife had never seen me, nor my family, without the moustache ... I'm happy [without it]." He also commented on his moustache in a live, in-studio interview with KCRA host Mike TeSelle on June 14, 2008, Spitz stating that he no longer maintains his iconic moustache because it had become "too gray",

Health issues

After retirement, Spitz was diagnosed with acid reflux disease, a condition from which his physician thinks he suffered throughout his career. "During my Olympic training, I attributed the symptoms [of acid reflux] to an overexposure to chlorine and eating too soon before and after swimming," says Spitz. "It wasn't until the symptoms began to get in the way of my 1976 Olympic broadcasting career in Montreal, which was four years after retirement that I suspected something more serious must be happening." He has also reported having high cholesterol and other chronic health issues."People don't believe that I have high cholesterol, but it's a fact," said Spitz. "I take medication every day because my doctor told

 me that diet and exercise are not enough to keep my cholesterol down." He is a paid spokesperson for Medco, a pharmacy benefit management company. Olympic controversies

1972 medal podium incident

In 1972, <mask> was accused of product placement during the medal ceremony. Following his victory in the 200-meter freestyle, Spitz carried his shoes and arrived barefoot to obtain his gold medal. He put them down as the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played. After the anthem, he picked up his shoes and waved to the crowd.The Soviets saw this as product placement. When questioned by the IOC, <mask> explained that the gesture was innocent, the shoes were old and he was not paid. The IOC cleared him of any wrongdoing. Issues with 2008 Summer Olympics

<mask> has said that he felt snubbed by not being asked to attend the 2008 Summer Olympics to watch Michael Phelps attempt to break his seven-gold-medal record: "I never got invited. You don't go to the Olympics just to say, I am going to go. Especially because of who I am. ...I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That's almost demeaning to me. It is not almost—it is." <mask> added, "They voted me one of the top five Olympians of all time. Some of them are dead. But they invited the other ones to go to the Olympics, but not me," he said. "Yes, I am a bit upset about it."<mask> has stated that he has no hard feelings towards Phelps. However, on August 14, 2008, <mask> appeared on NBC's Today Show where he clarified his statement and his pride in Michael Phelps:

Also on August 14, 2008, in an interview aired on Los Angeles KNBC-4's morning news show, Today in L.A., <mask> was quoted saying he does believe that "Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympic athlete ever." On August 15, 2008, as part of an interview on NBC, <mask> said that he felt Phelps's performance in the 100 fly in Beijing was "epic".

 <mask> paid this compliment to Phelps just two hours after his record-tying seventh gold medal during a live joint interview with Bob Costas:

In 2015, <mask> allegedly claimed that he had seen an email from Omega, the official timekeeper, that Phelps had lost the closely contested 100m butterfly final in 2008. He later claimed that his quote had been "misconstrued". Views on drug testing

<mask> has been consistent in his criticism of the two swimming world bodies, FINA and the IOC, in their incomplete attempts to keep drugs out of the sport. He has felt that not enough has been done to monitor and encourage drug-free participation.In 1998 he criticized FINA for its "embarrassing" attempts to stamp out drug abuse, urging them to test for all known drugs. In September 1999 <mask> said the IOC had the technology to test for a plethora of drugs but was refusing to do so because of some IOC member protests. During a radio interview in Australia, <mask> was quoted as saying "They don't want to test for everything because there's tremendous pressure from the television networks because they want the television to have athletic competitions with the world record holders there for the finals. They want the medals not to be tainted in their value of accomplishment by winning them, and it's all about ratings and commercial selling of time and about money. And an International Olympic Committee has got their hand in the pockets of the network television people, so there's a tremendous conflict of interest in what they should do and what they're doing." In August 2008, the Los Angeles Times reported that <mask> continued to discuss drug testing and was saying "the IOC has sponsors who demand a good show. Television pays the IOC for the rights to that good show, and its sponsors want that too.Drug news and drug distractions are not a good show. People are not going to tune in to see athletes have their medals

Early years

<mask> was born in Crawfordsville, Arkansas, United States. He grew up in West Memphis, Arkansas, performing in gospel groups as a youngster. As an adult, he had one release, "Somewhere to Lay My Head", on Chicago's Vee Jay Records label in the 1950s, as part of the gospel group The Highway Q.C. 's, which included a young Sam Cooke. <mask>'s singing then was strikingly close to that of Cooke, and he was hired to take Cooke's place in the latter's gospel group, the Soul Stirrers, in 1957. A few years later, after Cooke had established his independent SAR Records, <mask> signed on as one of the label's first acts and recorded "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" in 1962.However, SAR Records quickly became defunct after Cooke's death in 1964. In 1966, <mask> moved to Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was dubbed "The Philosopher of Soul". He recorded with the label's house band, which included Booker T. & the M.G.'s. His hits included "I Had a Dream", "I've Got to Love Somebody's Baby" (both written by the team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter) and most notably "Who's Making Love", which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the R&B chart in 1968. "Who's Making Love" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.In 1970, <mask> married Gerlean Rocket and they remained married
