Legacy

In , Colavito was voted the most memorable personality in Indians history. In , Colavito received a huge ovation at the introduction of the Indians' All-Century team.

In 1994, Terry Pluto, who covered the Cleveland Indians for The Plain Dealer in the 1980s and became the top sports columnist for the Akron Beacon Journal (but returned to The Plain Dealer in 2007), published The Curse of <mask>to, a book that tried to explain why the Indians had not come within even 11 games of first place since 1959. Pluto's explanation was that the trade of Colavito by the Indians in 1960 sent the team on a path to mediocrity that lasted more than three decades. He also suggested, that the trade in 1965 to bring Colavito back to the Indians was just as bad as the one that had sent him away. Pluto wrote a sequel, Burying the Curse, in 1995, after the Cleveland Indians won their first American League Championship in 41 years that season. Cleveland lost the World Series 4–2 to the Atlanta Braves.In , the Indians won the AL pennant again, but lost the World Series 4–3 to the Florida Marlins after needing just two more outs in Game 7 to win. In 1999, Pluto wrote the book  Our Tribe, a history of the Cleveland Indians. Pluto insists in the book, that the curse is still in effect. The

<mask> (;  — 8 August 1994) was a Soviet novelist and playwright of socialist realism. His works have been compared with Dostoyevsky's deep psychological torment. Early life
<mask> was born in Moscow in 1899. His father, <mask>, was a self-educated peasant poet who was at one time the chairman of the Surikov Literary and Musical circle (Surikov was also of peasant origin). <mask> later joined the Sreda literary group of Moscow, which counted Maxim Gorky, <mask>, and Ivan Bunin among its members. <mask>'s earliest memory was of 1905, when Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia was assassinated by the terrorist Kalyayev. In the same year, <mask>'s father was arrested for two pamphlets that he had published.<mask> was taken twice by his grandmother to visit his father in prison. After serving 20 months, <mask> was exiled to Arkhangelsk. <mask> visited him there several times, and his impressions and observations were later reflected in many of his works, especially Sot. He attended the Moscow Third gymnasium from 1910 to 1918. His first poems, reviews, and news reports were published in 1915 in the journal Severnoe Utro. He had intended to study medicine at Moscow State University, but his plans were disrupted by the outbreak of the Russian Civil War. Career
During the Russian Civil War, <mask> worked as a reporter with the Red Army.He was released from the Red Army in 1921 in order to continue his education. At that time, he planned to study painting. Upon returning to Moscow, he was unable to find any of his close relatives and acquaintances, but he was eventually accepted into the home of his uncle, a locksmith named Vasilyev.

texts: <mask> worked in his uncle's shop voluntarily in order to repay his uncle for taking him in. Later, the famous graphic artist Falilyev took an interest in him. Falilyev introduced him to some well-known literary figures and artists of the early 20s, including the publishers Solomon Kopelman (of the Shipovnik Publishing House), and Sergei Sabashnikov. After seeing some of his early stories, they both offered to publish them.This was the beginning of <mask>'s professional literary career. Among his first stories were Buryga and The Wooden Queen (1923). His first (and perhaps best) novel, The Badgers (1924), employs a fairly conventional style but is filled with peasant speech; it "deals with the impact on the village and the peasantry of the Revolution and symbolically pits brother against brother in the struggle." His dark novel The Thief (1927), set in the criminal underworld of the Russian capital, was warmly welcomed by critics in Russia and abroad, but Brown considers it "spoiled in execution by the self-conscious literary poses of the author and his transparent derivation of himself from the irrationalist Dostoyevsky. <mask> nonetheless performs a shrewd psychological dissection upon his main character, a disillusioned commissar who has become a member of a gang of thieves. He produced a thoroughly reworked version of this novel in 1959." He married Tatayana Mikhailovna Sabashnikova in 1926; the couple had two daughters.He visited Maxim Gorky in Sorrento in 1927. The Moscow Art Theatre under the direction of Constantin Stanislavski staged <mask>'s play Untilovsk, which was set in a remote Siberian community. The production

Both the committee and the wider press disapproved of the play's ideological stance; Anatoly Lunacharsky, writing in the Leningrad journal Krasnaia, described it as a step backwards for the theatre. Soviet River (1930) describes the construction of a paper mill on the banks of a river in the middle of the Siberian forest; Skutarevsky (1932), "probably one of his best works in style and intellectual power, explores the psychological problems of an eminent scientist working in a socialist state and, in what is undoubtedly an autobiographical statement, traces his development from a skeptical critic of the new order into an enthusiastic supporter." In 1934, <mask> helped Maxim Gorky to found the Union of Soviet Writers. The following year, he published a fantasy about the Soviet future, Road to the Ocean, in which the hero, "another embodiment of <mask>, meditates on the suffering he has caused and endured and tries to answer the question whether it was worth while in the total economy of history."Immediately after the start of World War II, <mask> penned several patriotic plays, which were quickly made into movies and won him the USSR State Prize (1943). His novel The Russian Forest (1953) was acclaimed by the authorities as a model Soviet book on World War II and received the Lenin Prize, but its implication that the Soviet regime had cut down "the symbol of Old Russian culture" caused some nervousness, and Nikita Khrushchev reminded the author that "not all trees are useful ... from time to time the forest must be thinned."

 In 1945, <mask> served as a correspondent for Pravda at the Nuremberg Trials. He was elected as a Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union in 1950. In 1967, <mask> was named a Hero of Socialist Labour. He was admitted to the Soviet Academy of Sciences five years later. During the last decades of his life, he worked upon the dark nationalistic-religious epic The Pyramid (1994).Kornei Chukovsky described <mask> as follows in his diary entry for 21 August 1946:I've been seeing a lot of <mask> <mask> and admire his splendid character. He's a strong man, well armed for life. He visits once or twice a week and talks nonstop, but never brings up his own plans, projects, or triumphs. The Maly is premiering a play of his tomorrow, say, or he had a book come out yesterday—he'll talk for three hours and never breathe a word of it. Not only is there no hint of the braggart in him, he goes on and on about his failures and defeats. He can do anything with his hands: he makes lampshades, tables, and chairs; he molds faces out of clay; he has fashioned a magnificent cigarette lighter out of bronze—he has all kinds of instruments and tools. Watch the way he handles seeds or berries and you know he's got a green thumb.Simple as he looks, he plays his cards close to the chest. He is well-bred and well-organized, oddly lacking in kindness but a thoroughbred, and he has a poetic nature. In short, he's a typical Russian. Awards

Early life and education
<mask> was born the youngest of ten children born to <mask> and English Literature teacher Pura Tianco. She went to St. Scholastica's College, Manila for grade school, and then to Assumption College for her secondary education. She describes her younger self as “an inattentive, irreverent student" who was curious about the world around her but found that classroom education bored her.She wanted to take Education and/or Industrial Engineering at the University of the Philippines Diliman, but ended up studying Art History there. <mask> was a member of the Philippine Youth Team of Volleyball as well as the University of the Philippines Volleyball Varsity. Throughout her studies, she found that rock music was a more fulfilling way of learning about the world. She cites the Beatles’ song ‘Blackbird’ for having taught her about apartheid, and first learned about desaparecidos from Sting’s ‘They Dance Alone,’ which was written for the widows of Chile. U2 and their front man Bono served as another influence, with their lyrics full of protest and spirituality. Early Media Career

 interviews for the 1998 Philippine Centennial. The idea was to interview a hundred Filipinos working in America, and <mask> found the work exciting for the first few interviews, which were all success stories.Eventually, <mask> became more interested in profiling ordinary Filipinos struggling to survive in the US. After a period of moving from job to job, <mask> eventually interned then joined WTHR-NBC’s Eyewitness News in Indianapolis, stayed for a couple of years then moved back to California to become Assistant Director of the Missions Office in the Diocese of San Jose. Return to the Philippines
<mask> decided to return to the Philippines, and quickly became active in the protest movements that arose in the wake of the Hello Garci Scandal. One of the ideas she proposed was to hold small rallies in schools. In order to make these rallies interesting to students, Badoy returned to her roots, used her connections with musician friends, and took advantage of a tool for making issues more interesting: rock and roll. Rock Ed Philippines
In July 2005, Rock Ed Philippines was born, conceived by Badoy as a 10-year program to “rock society through alternative education with the help of celebrities, musicians, poets, artists, entrepreneurs, writers, et al. ", and directing the passions of the youth towards seeing the Philippines meet the UN vision of development as expressed in the Millennium Development Goals.The early, awareness-building stages of the program focused on bringing the youth together through music. At the center of the effort was Rock Ed Radio, a weekly radio program on NU 107, anchored by <mask> and by poet Lourd de Veyra. (The show later moved briefly to another station, Jam 88.3, and then it returned to NU 107 until its last broadcast on November 4, 2010.) Rock Ed also put up awareness-building concerts, including some in unusual public places, such as "Rock the Rehas," held at the New Bilibid Prison, and "Rock the Riles," held at a MRT-3 station. <mask>'s

 participation in Rock Ed turned her into a cultural icon among the young Filipinos who were the target of Rock Ed. Her blogs and her Twitter account have a strong following, National Geographic Channel Asia selected her among several other Filipino personalities to become their "Live Curious" ambassadors, aiming to inspire people to question way they see the world., she became one of three hosts on ABS-CBN News Channel's talk show "The Brew", and she was hailed as one of The Outstanding Women in the Nation's Service (TOWNS) for 2010. The Typhoon Ondoy Broadcasts and Typhoon Pepeng Relief
<mask> is often noted as a hero for her actions during Typhoon Ondoy.<mask> took it upon herself to turn radio station Jam 88.3, which was hosting Rock Ed Radio at the time, into a venue for coordinating information about the situation in Metro Manila The station had at first shifted to pre-recorded programming while its staff were unable to get to the station during the storm, but Badoy went to the station and insisted that it would be more useful for the station to do what it can to keep people connected and informed. Badoy insists to always include Lambert Cruz (a Jam 88.3 jock) in the narration of this story. After a few hours, several other friends and volunteers joined them to assist in taking the urgent and numerous messages sent in by the many people stranded by the typhoon. Badoy believed that during the storm there's a high probability that only cell phones will have literal power and cell phones only have radios that connect to FM radio. So instead of keeping the news info confined to AM airwaves, she took it upon herself to say FM radio should be directly involved in civic action, for once. "It just made sense." Is how she explains that revolutionary call she made during the first hours of Typhoon Ondoy.Announcing her intent on the Rock Ed Radio Twitter account, Badoy said:
"On air now on Jam 88.3. Tweet us @rockedradio or post msg here if u want us to announce anything on air. Tell

She went on board for eight straight days, eventually joined by the other DJs of the station, spending 14 to 16 hours each day. On September 29, 2009, Closing her third day during the Ondoy broadcasts, Badoy tweeted:
"What an honor to be given the chance to give out crucial info at a crucial time." When it became apparent that the Department of Social Welfare and Development needed more manpower so that relief goods could be distributed more quickly, Badoy quickly volunteered the services of Rock Ed members to help in the tagging and distribution of relief goods.When, not long after Typhoon Ondoy hit Metro Manila, Typhoon Pepeng in turn hit Northern Luzon, Badoy quickly jumped into action yet again, this time leading Rock Ed volunteers in distributing thousands of relief packs donated by the many people who responded to Rock Ed's call for donations. These packs were delivered to Dagupan, Pangasinan and Baguio, the Rock Ed van driving through makeshift bridges and roads partly eroded by recent landslides. Recognition
In recognition of her work in Rock Ed, <mask> was recognized with The Outstanding Women in the Nation's Service (TOWNS) for that 2010. The award was presented to her at Malacañan Palace on November 5, 2010 by Philippine President Benigno Aquino III. The citation for Badoy said that:

On December 13, 2010, <mask> was also honored as one of the Philippines' Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) in an awarding ceremony, also held in Malacañan Palace. <mask> is not comfortable talking about her awards, despite the recognition, noting that:

":" I just think, the theater, it's much more charming, much more involving when you see these things on the stage. It's just much more exciting, I don't know why... you see the world, that way, formed on the stage. I don't know whether the material takes on a different quality, or it's better or worse, but in any case for me it's more exciting, material that's produced on the stage." <mask> died of prostate cancer on August 18, 1999.

 controversial play, which made pointed use of vulgarity, and contained provocative sketches such as "The Binding" in which Isaac begs his father Abraham not to hesitate to slaughter him, and "The Courting" which mocks Israeli volubility and arrogance. Perhaps because it was presented on the stage of an established theater, the play aroused an unprecedented storm of public opinion. Viewers protested and made a disturbance during the performances. The National Religious Party demanded censorship of a song that, in its opinion, profaned the honor of the Bible.The government threatened to withdraw its financial support from the theater. The criticism further addressed the play itself: "a combination of flawed dialogues and ditties attempting to toss salt on our open wounds" (Dr. Haim Gamzu); "This 'theatrash' (mahazevel) makes us all out to be despicable killers, citizens of a militarist, money-grabbing state." (Uri Porat); and "a scene about a reporter, who comes to interview a young widow whose husband died in the trenches, and plays at love with her, only a demonic or infirm mind could devise... it's a malicious abuse of thousands of bereaved parents" (Reuven Yanai). In spite of <mask>'s objections, the theater's management decided, in the wake of these outraged responses, to close the show after only nineteen performances. Critical acclaim

During the 1970s, he continued to write and direct plays that primarily appeared at the Haifa Theater and Cameri (see the list of plays below). During this period <mask> also wrote two screenplays: Floch, directed by Danny Wolman in 1972, and Fantasy on a Romantic Theme, directed by Vitek Tracz in 1977. The two movies earned the acclaim of critics, but not the public. The next great tempest occurred in the wake of the play Job's Passion in 1981. The play included a scene in which the naked Job, in the person of Yosef Carmon, is impaled through his anus on a pole by the Caesar's soldiers, and is sold to a circus so that his death throes can draw a crowd. Miriam Taaseh-Glazer, at the time the Deputy Minister of Education and Culture, announced from the Knesset dais that the State need not fund a theater "where a naked guy hangs for ten minutes with all his privates waving around."<mask>'s next play, The Great Whore of Babylon (1982), aroused opposition even among his colleagues the Cameri Theater actors, chiefly Yossi Yadin. Following this opposition, the play was cut by 20 minutes. <mask> returned to political writing in The Patriot, which opened October 1982 at the Neve Zedek Theater, directed by Oded Kotler. The play is about an Israeli citizen who asks to emigrate to the United States. The American consul asks him to spit on his mother, kick an Arab boy's face, and afterward, to taunt God. Although the Council for Film and Drama Criticism banned the entire play, Kottler decided to present it. Yitzhak Zamir, then the government's legal counsel, recommended indictments against the theater management for transgressing censorship
