<mask> (born November 12, 1948) is an American politician and lawyer. He was the Attorney General of Minnesota from 1999 to 2007, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce from 1983 to 1989, and chair of the Minnesota DFL Party from 1980 to 1983. Early life and career
<mask> is a 1966 graduate of East High School in Duluth. In the 1960s, he attended the University of Minnesota, Duluth before dropping out and serving 18 months in the Merchant Marine. There he earned $1.91 an hour shoveling coal into the engines of ore boats crossing the Great Lakes, and made stops in the ports of Rust Belt cities along the shores of the Great Lakes. He was in port in South Chicago during the riots after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968 and witnessed the clashes between Vietnam War protesters and police during the 1968 Democratic convention. He got mugged at a port in Milwaukee.<mask> later said of this time in his life, "I wasn’t political at the time, but I was awakening to this stuff." He got into a scuffle with a ship's officer who made a derogatory comment about Robert F. Kennedy’s defense of African Americans. "And that is when I became a Democrat," <mask> said. He hitchhiked to Cleveland, called his father for money to return to Minnesota, and returned to the University of Minnesota Duluth to finish his degree with honors. Of the problems in the Rust Belt cities he saw while working the boats, <mask> has said, "There was despair. I took an interest. I thought, 'you know what, I’m going to do something about it.'"<mask> earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1973. He was a trial lawyer in private practice in the 1970s and became chair of the state DFL Party in 1980. In 1983 Governor Rudy

 Perpich appointed <mask> commissioner of the state Department of Commerce, a position he served in until 1989. In 1998 he was elected state attorney general, a position to which he was reelected in 2002, receiving more votes than any previous candidate for any statewide office. State Democratic chairman (1980-1983)
In 1976, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) was Minnesota's dominant political party. It held two U.S. Senate seats, the governor's office, four of eight Congressional seats, 104 of 134 seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives and 49 of 67 seats in the Minnesota Senate. In 1978 the DFL suffered devastating losses in what is known as the "Minnesota Massacre."The two U.S. Senate seats and governorship went Republican, Republicans picked up an additional Congressional seat, and the DFL lost its majority in the state House, ending up with a 67–67 tie. (The Minnesota Senate was not up for election in 1978.) The DFL party chair was elected at the state party convention, conducted in June of each election year. In 1980, the prevailing issue was how the DFL could recover from the devastating loss in 1978. There were six candidates for chair, all but one of whom had significant interest groups or officeholders supporting them. <mask>, the one candidate without significant support from an interest group, ran a geographically based campaign focused primarily on the support of county and congressional district chairs. The convention was tumultuous, with various interest groups opposed to each other over abortion, labor, and farm issues.<mask>, who had the least amount of political experience, campaigned as a centrist who focused on economic issues and promised to elect more Democrats in the 1980 election. He was elected chair on

texts: the third ballot. At the time of his victory in June 1980, the mortgage on the party headquarters was in default and the party had no campaign funds for the 1980 election. Under <mask>, the DFL became the first state Democratic party to acquire a computer and jet printer. He published a monthly newspaper that was printed on the computer and mailed to each contributor of a "Sustaining Fund." In spring 1981, <mask> invited Vice President Mondale and Senator Ted Kennedy, the likely Democratic presidential candidates in the 1984 election, to a "Jefferson-Jackson Day" dinner. The invitation to Kennedy to a dinner in Mondale's home state was controversial, but the dinner, with 5,000 in attendance, was the largest and most profitable in the history of the DFL Party.In 1980, the DFL Party was deeply divided over issues ranging from abortion to gay rights to gun control. The party rules encouraged division by requiring delegates to be elected from "sub-caucuses" organized around specific issues or interest groups. In 1981, <mask> printed political buttons, posters and letterhead under the name "The Centrists," promoting the notion that the party had to stand for more than just a conglomeration of interest groups. Feminists, pro-lifers, gun control organizations, and gay rights supporters opposed the "Centrists," who tried to end the sub-caucus system but were defeated by a united coalition of pro-life and pro-choice activists. <mask> "ran the party with a focus on winning elections and an intense dislike of its internal squabbles." By 1982 the "Centrists" began exerting influence on party affairs, and the interest groups turned their focus on <mask> for organizing the group. Nonetheless, the "Centrists" remained an influence in the 1982

 elections, stifling the intraparty fights between the interest groups during an important election campaign.A longtime political reporter said of <mask>'s tenure as chair: "He worked to rebuild the bitterly divided, debt-ridden DFL Party after its disastrous 1978 election losses. He showed his prowess, both at raising money and organization building. He raised $50,000 to pay off the mortgage and head off the foreclosure on the party headquarters in south Minneapolis, scrounged up another $50,000 to buy a state-of-the-art, 5-megabyte computer the size of a piano, and raised a total of $1.2 million. The DFL is believed to be the first Democratic Party in the country to use the technology of computers, direct mail and telemarketing." The DFL had a banner year in 1982. It won two additional Congressional seats (5 out of eight), the House of Representatives (77 of 134 seats), the State Senate (42 out of 67) and the governorship. In September 1982 <mask> was instrumental in getting the DFL Party to endorse Rudy Perpich, who defeated DFL-endorsed candidate Warren Spannaus for governor in the primary election.It was the first time that the DFL endorsed a candidate for statewide office who had defeated the convention-endorsed candidate. In January 1983, Perpich appointed <mask> commissioner of Securities and Real Estate. Commissioner of Commerce
On December 7, 1982, Governor Perpich appointed <mask> commissioner of the Department of Securities and Real Estate. <mask>'s first task was to reorganize the Department of Insurance, the Department of Banking, and the Department of Securities and Real Estate into one Minnesota Department of Commerce. The reorganization was completed in July 1983. Insurance company accountability

 industry was largely unregulated in 1983. The Associated Press wrote that "<mask> vigorously embraced the role of consumer advocate."One of his first actions as commissioner was to create an enforcement division that eventually handled 40,000 complaints a year from the public. <mask> proposed a series of regulations to provide protections for insurance policyholders. He got enacted into law several dozen new standards to provide fair processing of insurance claims for policyholders. These provisions are collectively called the Unfair Claims Practices Act. He also got enacted legislation to provide that an insurance agent and company must not sell a policy that is not suitable for the policyholder. To limit the arbitrary cancellation of automobile policies, <mask> established a point system to determine when an automobile policy may be cancelled by an insurer. He also implemented a set of regulations to stop misleading statements in insurance solicitations.<mask> adopted rules that made agents holding themselves out as "financial planners" owe their clients a fiduciary duty. President Barack Obama proposed a similar provision over 30 years later at the federal level. <mask> also proposed that commercial insurers must give 30 days' notice of any change in the terms of a commercial policy or increase in rates. Farm crisis
<mask> was commerce commissioner during the farm crisis of the mid-1980s. In 1983 Minnesota had over 430 banks and savings and loan associations. Most were in rural areas and depended on the success of the rural economy. Interest rates were at record levels, with a few banks paying up to 15% annual interest on some deposits.The combination of volatile interest rates and the failure of rural farms affected the banking

 industry. Farmers couldn't pay back the loans, falling grain and land prices shrank the value of collateral, and double-digit interest rates on deposits put banks in an impossible squeeze. Bank examiners forced banks to write down the value of the loan collateral, which resulted in more banks being labeled insolvent and subject to liquidation. This accelerated foreclosures. The depth of the rural recession resulted in few buyers willing to buy used equipment or land at auction, causing further depreciation of farm assets. <mask> helped enact several laws to help farmers. One was the mandatory Farmer-Lender Mediation Act of 1986, which required a lender to offer mediation with the farmer before instituting a foreclosure proceeding.<mask> also created an "Interest Buydown Program" in 1985 to pay a portion of the farmer's interest on farm loans. To lessen the regulatory pressure from bank examiners, <mask> directed them to allow banks to value collateral at the appraisal made at the time of the loan. Minnesota also established a rural farm advocate program to assist farmers through the loan process and instituted a voluntary mortgage foreclosure moratorium. Despite these programs, the Commerce Department shuttered over 25 financially unstable Minnesota banks between 1984 and 1989. Commercial insurance
The 1980s financial crisis also affected insurance companies, with commercial insurers doubling and tripling rates to make up for "cash flow" underwriting in the late 1970s. In cash flow underwriting, an insurer undercuts premiums, expecting to make substantial profit on an anticipated investment return of 15% to 20%. The problem was that when the rate of return lowered from 20% in 1980 to 8% in 1984, the loss in anticipated investment profit

 could not sustain the outflow of cash necessary to pay insurance claims.The losses sustained by cash flow underwriting were particularly hard on commercial insurers that expected to earn a high profit for many years until claims came due. This created problems for policyholders in securing coverage, because few insurers specialized in certain fields of commerce. In 1984, Minnesota had only one liquor liability insurer, two medical malpractice insurers, and few insurers that concentrated coverage in specific areas, such as foster parents or psychologists. <mask> responded to the doubling and tripling of rates on two fronts. First, he established a Joint Underwriting Association (JUA), which could issue policies to keep an industry operational if there was a shortage of insurers in a particular field, since some industries could not operate without insurance coverage. Second, he undertook several studies of whether the increased premiums had anything to do with increased claims. The St. Paul Companies, based in St. Paul and the primary issuer of medical malpractice policies, argued that <mask>'s studies were flawed.The dispute between Hatch and the insurer ended up on ABC Nightline on February 14, 1989. The televised debate resulted in insurance hearings around the country, with St. Paul Companies dropping its premiums for medical malpractice insurance by 25% on April 15, 1989. Drought insurance
In 1988, rural Minnesota experienced a fierce drought. At the time, Chubb Insurance was selling "rain insurance", which paid a farmer if the rain gauge nearest their farm had accumulated less than a certain amount of rain between June1 and August 31. Chubb's agents were selling the coverage as late as July 15 that summer, halfway through the

 drought. Farmers stood in line outside insurance agencies to buy the coverage in July. When farmers filed claims for their losses due to the drought, Chubb responded that it would not pay on the policy, claiming it was essentially a gambling contract having nothing to do with the success or failure of the farmer's crop.The company also disavowed any responsibility for the actions of the agents who sold the coverage. <mask> said that the insurer was responsible for its agents' actions and that it had to pay on the policies. The dispute between Chubb and <mask> ended up in federal court in Cincinnati, Ohio, with one issue being whether <mask> could suspend Chubb's insurance license if it didn't pay on the policies. The court ruled for <mask>, and he was allowed to proceed with a hearing to determine whether Chubb's license should be revoked. Shortly before the hearing, Chubb paid the farmers under the policies. Corporate takeover hearings
One of Hatch's early focal points was the regulation of corporate takeovers. The 1980s was a time of high-profile corporate raids around the nation, in which leveraged buyout artists made bids that often resulted in the closure or liquidation of the target company.In 1984, several Minnesota public companies secured enactment of a law that empowered the commerce commissioner to delay a tender offer to acquire securities of a Minnesota public company if the offer did not fully disclose the consequences of the takeover. In September 1984, just two months after the law became effective, <mask> issued the first in a series of orders that scheduled hearings designed to slow down the takeover of local companies, including Scientific Computers, Conwed, Dayton Hudson Corporation, St. Paul Companies, Pillsbury

texts:
 Companies, and Northwest Airlines. The hearings were controversial, with several takeovers thwarted by the hearing and testimony process, including bids for Scientific Computers, Dayton Hudson, St. Paul Companies, and Northwest Airlines. It became apparent over time that the hearings were interfering with shareholders' rights and simply serving to raise the bid on the stock being acquired. The takeover hearings largely stopped by 1989. Health insurance
As insurance commissioner, <mask> liquidated several HMOs and self-insured health trusts that were insufficiently financed. Insolvent insurers and HMOs included the Duluth Employee Benefit Program, the Minnesota Real Estate Benefit Trust and Plan, More HMO of Virginia, and the LTV Self Insured Trust.Only a handful of major insurers and HMOs dominated the Minnesota health insurance market in 1987. Blue Cross, PHP and HealthPartners were the dominant players, and all had HMOs that were poorly reserved. PHP, an HMO with 400,000 enrollees, was on the brink of insolvency. PHP had 4,600 medical providers on its panel, over one-third of whom joined a "PHP Oversight Committee" whose goal was to take over the organization. If PHP became insolvent, the other HMOs were not in a position to offer coverage to its enrollees. PHP and the Oversight Committee were engaged in a court fight in Hennepin County District Court, and, to break the logjam, the parties asked Governor Perpich to intervene. On August 15, 1987, Perpich agreed to intervene and appointed Hatch and Health Commissioner Mary Ashton as mediators.Over the next week, the two conducted marathon negotiation sessions culminating in a verbal settlement at 4:00 a.m. the following Friday. The PHP settlement involved a change in the composition of

Campaign
As an attorney in private practice with his own Minneapolis law firm, <mask> represented over 50 women pro bono in lawsuits to receive coverage from their HMOs for breast cancer treatment. The experience led <mask> to run for attorney general in 1998. He ran as a populist who promised to tackle problems in the health care system and malfeasance by large corporations. His campaign featured TV ads with testimonials from some of the breast cancer patients he had represented.<mask> quickly made health care reform one of his top priorities as attorney general. First six months
As attorney general <mask> got off to a quick start in implementing his campaign promises. He had pledged to be an active attorney general who would be the "people’s lawyer," not just represent state agencies. A former insurance regulator, <mask> brought complex, heavily litigated lawsuits against major corporations and health care companies throughout his tenure. In March 1999 he filed suit against American Family Mutual for failing to pay for repairs after storms. American Family had initially sued <mask> to keep him from investigating it, so <mask> ended his investigation and sued the company instead. He alleged that the company violated the law when it paid only for the portion of a consumer's roof or siding that was damaged by hail or wind, leaving homeowners with mismatched roofs and siding when the replacement siding or shingles did not match those on the rest of the house.American Family challenged <mask>'s standing to

texts: file the suit, claiming that only the state Commerce Department could bring such actions. In April 2000 the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld <mask>'s standing to bring the suit. In October 2000, <mask> prevailed in the lawsuit, securing a court order requiring American Family to pay for both the damaged portion of the roofing and siding and the undamaged portion if matching shingles and siding were no longer available. On June 9, 1999, <mask> drew national attention when he became the first state official in the country to file a lawsuit against a national bank for violating customers’ privacy. <mask> sued U.S. Bank, one of the largest banking systems in Minnesota, for entering into a "joint marketing agreement" with 15 telemarketing companies and disclosing to them the names, addresses, account numbers, Social Security numbers, and credit histories of almost one million customers. The lawsuit was resolved on June 30, 1999, with US Bank agreeing to stop the sale of customer data to marketing companies and to pay $3 million. A number of other large banks, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, quickly announced they would end similar agreements.Editorial boards praised <mask>'s lawsuit, with one noting that "the attorney general’s action has already had sweeping effect. Bank customers nationwide—and not just U.S. Bancorp depositors—who value the privacy of their accounts and other information are the potential beneficiaries." <mask> later testified in Congress, asking it to strengthen consumer privacy protections. When he tried to enact state legislation to protect consumers’ privacy, 118 lobbyists showed up to oppose his bill. <mask> stayed active in privacy lawsuits. In December 2000, he brought the first case in the country

 against a mortgage lender (Fleet Mortgage) for selling customer account information to telemarketers. Health care
The month before he took office, <mask> announced the formation of a hotline to take complaints from patients with problems with HMOs.In his first month in office, he announced an HMO bill of rights to give patients greater protection from abusive health insurance practices, such as paying bonuses to doctors who limit the number of referrals given to patients. One of <mask>'s most cited accomplishments as attorney general was his lawsuit against Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota. In October 2000, he filed suit against Blue Cross, the state's largest health insurer, alleging that it routinely refused to pay for treatment for children and young adults suffering from mental illness, eating disorders, and chemical dependency. The suit alleged that Blue Cross told some patients who asked the insurance company to pay for treatment for their mentally ill children that they should instead relinquish their children to the juvenile justice system or foster care. Blue Cross vehemently denied the allegations. When <mask> filed the suit, only six families were willing to be named in it because of privacy concerns for their children. <mask> later expanded the lawsuit to include testimony from many more families and from former Blue Cross employees who said they intentionally declined coverage simply to save the insurer money.<mask> eventually secured a legal settlement with Blue Cross that created a three-judge panel to automatically review any decision by the insurer to deny mental health care for children. Blue Cross also paid $8 million to reimburse the state for the cost of shifting care onto the state that the insurer should

texts: have paid. The settlement required Blue Cross to reimburse families for treatment it had refused to pay, to process urgent claims within 24 hours, to process appeals within one day, to pay for court-ordered treatment, and to cover 28-day inpatient treatment for chemical dependency and eating disorders. At the time of the settlement, Blue Cross said that "we’ve failed these families in some important ways" and credited Hatch's lawsuit as a wake-up call that forced the company to change its practices. Mental health experts praised the settlement as a "major step forward in terms of people being able to access the services they need." Hatch soon expanded the settlement terms to apply to HealthPartners and Medica, the state's other two leading health insurance companies. In 2000, Hatch launched a year-long compliance review of Allina Health System, the state's largest hospital system.Allina at the time owned Medica Health Plans, one of the state's largest HMOs. Allina and Medica are nonprofit organizations. <mask> launched his probe under the nonprofit laws after the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services found that an unnamed Minnesota nonprofit HMO had spent Medicare premium revenue on sports tickets and other lavish perks for executives. When Allina refused to cooperate with the compliance review, <mask> sued it to gain access to its books and records. He ultimately issued a multi-volume compliance report with hundreds of adverse findings against the organization. Among other things, the review found that top executives at the company spent tens of millions of dollars on golf trips, parties, beachfront condominiums, maid service for executives, spas, image consultants, executive enrichment and unearned executive bonuses,

texts: foreign travel, consultants, and gifts. <mask> issued a report stating that conflicts of interest within the organization resulted in Medica HMO's premium dollars being diverted to shore up the financial position of Allina's corporate headquarters, resulting in higher premiums for policyholders.<mask> urged Allina to split into two companies, separating Medica, an HMO with one million members, from Allina, which ran 19 hospitals and 48 clinics. Three days later, Allina announced that it would split off HMO Medica from its hospitals and clinics. The CEOs of Allina and Medica soon departed. The new Allina chairman agreed that the lavish spending and executive perks were wrong for a nonprofit health care system. Allina and Medica then entered into a regulatory agreement with Hatch to curb conflicts of interest and inappropriate expenditures. The Rochester Post Bulletin wrote, "<mask> is performing a genuine public service in giving people an insight into some of the spending habits and accounting practices of Allina Health System." The Canby News wrote, "Attorney General <mask> was absolutely within his rights to go after Allina Health System on grounds that golf trips, $800,000 consultant fees, health spas and so on are way outside the lines of delivering health care."The Star Tribune noted that "<mask> has changed the rules of the game for an industry used to a quiet, low-key scrutiny." <mask> then launched a compliance review of HealthPartners, another nonprofit HMO, in 2001. The yearlong compliance review found that executives ate lavish meals, traveled the world, gave gifts of Waterford crystal, and engaged in inappropriate entertainment spending inconsistent with the mission of an HMO. A Star Tribune editorial from the time said, "It

texts: is remarkable that HealthPartners would spend money on exotic foreign travel…or overtly political opinion polling at a time when executives knew that their industry was under scrutiny, and it is imperative that health-care executives understand that Minnesotans expect a higher standard of stewardship." The Rochester Post-Bulletin wrote, "The business practices he cites would be wrong in any company, but they are particularly objectionable in a non-profit company in the health care field." HealthPartners agreed to new spending restrictions and the appointment of a third-party advisor to its board to remedy the deficiencies found in the review. <mask> then launched a probe of Fairview Health Systems, another hospital system, finding that it aggressively collected debts from patients too poor to pay their bills and did not offer charity care, in violation of its mission as a nonprofit hospital.<mask> obtained a first-in-the-country settlement with Fairview in which it was required to stop using aggressive debt collection tactics, to expand its charity care for poor patients, to give discounts to middle-income families, and to give a third-party monitor appointed by <mask> broad authority to oversee the company's collection practices. Another oft-cited accomplishment of <mask>'s was the 2005 agreement he reached with every hospital in Minnesota over their billing and collection practices. Under the agreement, the hospitals agreed to charged uninsured patients with household incomes less than $125,000, the same discounted prices their largest insurance company got. Before the agreement, hospitals charged uninsured patients up to four times more than they charged insurance companies. The hospitals also agreed to change their debt-collection

In a May 9, 2005 editorial, the Star Tribune wrote, "It is good to see Minnesota Attorney General <mask> adopting the uninsured, the orphans of the health care system, and getting them a better deal." In 2005 and 2006, <mask> conducted a compliance review of Blue Cross, the state's largest health insurer, which found that it had amassed more than $1 billion in financial reserves while raising premiums and shifting costs to consumers.<mask> said at the time, "The obligation of Blue Cross is to provide affordable health care. Their statutory purpose is not to become the wealthiest nonprofit." <mask> was active in protecting vulnerable patients in care facilities from abuse. In March 2000 he filed a lawsuit against Alterra, a Wisconsin-based assisted living facility, for misrepresenting that it was qualified to take care of memory-impaired patients. The suit was featured in a Time magazine article about abuses at assisted-living facilities. Alterra charged patients up to $4,000 per month, but family members reported patients with Alzheimer's lying in their own feces and urine-soaked garments for hours, and local police frequently discovered dementia patients wandering the streets in the cold. <mask> noted at the time that assisted-living facilities were "essentially unregulated nursing homes," and called for them to be licensed.The state legislature did not act on his proposal, and in 2017 the Star Tribune ran a multi-part investigative special report exposing abuses of patients in such facilities. One of the major legislative proposals following the Star Tribune exposé was that the state license assisted-living facilities. <mask> also took on

 pharmaceutical companies. In 2002, he filed a lawsuit against Pharmacia Corporation, making Minnesota one of the first states to sue a drug company for defrauding patients and Medical Assistance by quoting "average wholesale prices" that did not reflect the prices insurers actually paid the pharmaceutical company for its drugs. In 2003, he filed lawsuits against several more drug companies alleging that they misrepresented the prices of inhalers for asthma patients by up to seven times the true cost. 2000-2006

<mask> took on other causes on behalf of the vulnerable. In 2000, he drafted and got enacted the Safe Place for Newborns Act, which allows mothers to take unwanted babies to any hospital for adoption.After 15 people were arrested in multi-million-dollar rings spanning 24 states that solicited young girls for prostitution, <mask> formed a task force to recommend legislative improvements. He secured $6 million in legislative funding for shelters for teenage runaways and prostitutes and drafted legislation that increased penalties for sex offenders. <mask> wielded the antitrust and regulatory powers of the office to promote market competition and regulate markets that were dominated by monopolies. In August 2000, he was an early opponent of the movement to deregulate electricity, issuing a several-hundred-page report claiming it would lead to higher prices for consumers. The year after <mask> issued this report, California experienced widespread power blackouts and 800 percent rate hikes after it deregulated electricity markets. In 2005, Allina Health System dropped its efforts to buy two cardiology practices after <mask> filed a lawsuit claiming that its proposal would give it a monopoly in local cardiac care. <mask> handled many

texts: constitutional cases as attorney general.In 2001, Minnesota state government nearly shut down when Governor Jesse Ventura and legislative leaders reached an impasse in budget negotiations. <mask> filed a petition to ask a court to order that essential state government services be funded in the event of a shutdown. The court granted <mask>'s request, the first time that a Minnesota court had issued an order to authorize the government to continue to operate in the absence of a legislative appropriation. <mask> obtained a similar court order in 2005 requiring the state to continue to fund essential government services during a partial government shutdown that year. <mask> was an advocate for utility ratepayers. In 2001 he petitioned the Public Utilities Commission to put the brakes on a "no surprise bill" program by Reliant Energy Minnegasco that was marketed as a way for consumers to bring predictability to their home heating costs but resulted in customers paying as much as 20 percent more on natural gas. In 2005 he issued a scathing report faulting CenterPoint Energy for deliberately violating the law designed to protect low-income people from having their heat turned off in the winter."They violated the law and every standard of human decency," <mask> said at the time. He got the company to reconnect power to 5,000 people. In 2006 he asked the Public Utilities Commission to roll back a rate hike proposed by Xcel Energy after discovering that it was asking for higher rates to collect taxes it would never pay and saddling residents with larger rate hikes than businesses. <mask> was active in protecting consumers in other sales transactions. In 2002 he won sweeping concessions from several automobile dealers that sold optional warranties

In 2001 he obtained a settlement with US Bancorp requiring the bank to make refunds to customers (one-third of whom were over 80 years old) who were misled into buying long-term 10- and 20-year brokered certificates of deposit, thinking they were regular, short-term bank CDs. He sued the nation's largest maker of bulletproof vests for police officers, claiming the company continued to sell vests it knew would degrade in light.The company later filed bankruptcy. In October 2002, an airplane carrying Senator Paul Wellstone crashed in northern Minnesota, killing Wellstone 11 days before the state general election. <mask>, a Democrat, worked closely with the state's Republican secretary of state to ensure that people who already voted for Wellstone on absentee ballots would get another chance to vote. <mask> was reelected to a second term as attorney general on November 5, 2002. Republicans won every other constitutional office that year. <mask> won more votes in that election than any candidate in any previous race for constitutional office in Minnesota history. After learning that the legislature had appropriated only $10,000 to Governor-elect Tim Pawlenty’s transition office in 2003, <mask> voluntarily transferred $250,000 of his budget to help fund the transition.In his inaugural address in 2002, <mask> called for the state not to forget that "there are children who don’t always have enough to eat and too many families without health insurance."

In 2003 he filed a lawsuit against Cross Country Bank for selling subprime credit cards with low balance limits to poor people and then harassing them with debt-collection calls. The suit alleged that the bank called some consumers as many as 60 times a week, including on holidays, using profanities and racist epithets. The bank fought the lawsuit to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, but <mask> prevailed, resulting in a precedent-setting ruling that arbitration clauses in consumer contracts do not apply to a lawsuit by the attorney general. In 2004, <mask> sued AT&T for attempting to collect bills from people who did not owe the money.Later that year, he sued two more debt collection agencies, including one that threatened to sue people for debts that were too old to be collected and another that made relentless telephone calls. <mask> was an early leader in taking to task illegal practices in the real estate and mortgage industries. In 2001 he filed a lawsuit against Countrywide Mortgage for not notifying borrowers of their right to cancel mortgage insurance that cost some homeowners hundreds of dollars per year. In 2003 he filed a lawsuit against a company that engaged in an equity-stripping scheme. The company purchased homes in foreclosure, promising to lease the homes back to the people who, when they couldn't afford the rent, would lose their home equity to the company. <mask> secured a court order barring the company from buying foreclosed homes. In 2005, he launched a probe of Ameriquest for aggressive mortgage lending to people with subprime credit histories.He then reached a settlement with the company requiring it to pay money to 22,000 Minnesota

In 2004 and 2005, <mask> challenged Minnesota's efforts to release sex offenders into the public rather than civilly commit them to a security hospital. In 2004 he sued a nursing home that locked vulnerable patients in a ward with sex offenders, some of whom assaulted patients. The Minnesota Department of Corrections sent the patients to live in the nursing home, where they were housed with regular patients amid rat and roach infestations. Employees were instructed to tell residents the rats were "bunnies." The nursing home was shut down.

<mask>. (June 24, 1931 – February 7, 2015) was an American professional golfer. He was one of the most prolific tournament winners on the PGA Tour from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. In his youth, <mask> started as a caddie and emerged from the junior golf hotbed of San Diego, where golf could be played year-round, to rank seventh all-time in career Tour wins with 51, across a 20-year period between 1956 and 1975. Fellow San Diegan great Gene Littler was a friend and rival from teenager to senior. <mask> won three major championships, represented the United States on a then-record eight Ryder Cup teams, and holds the U.S. record for career Ryder Cup points won. After reaching age 50, <mask> regularly played the Senior PGA Tour and was a winner there until 1989. In his later years, <mask> successfully developed businesses in golf course design and management of golf facilities.<mask> served as Ryder Cup captain in 1979, was twice PGA Player of the Year (1966 and 1970), was twice leading money winner, and won five Vardon Trophy awards for the lowest seasonal scoring average on the Tour. Respected for his extraordinary putting and short-game skills, <mask> was a superior strategist who overcame his distance disadvantages against longer-hitting competitors such as Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus with moxie, creative shot-making, and clever golf-course management abilities. Never a flashy gallery favorite, <mask> developed his own self-contained style, relying on solid technique, determination, concentration, and perseverance. He converted to the LDS Church in 1966. <mask> was inducted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1978. Early years
<mask> was born in San Diego, California. His father started him in golf at age five.<mask> caddied during his youth at San Diego Country Club to earn money for golf, and spent one semester at the University of Notre Dame on a golf scholarship, after

 graduating from high school. He returned to San Diego to marry his wife Shirley in 1952. <mask> competed frequently as an amateur against fellow San Diegan Gene Littler. He turned professional in 1954. Professional career

<mask> had 51 PGA Tour wins in his career, with his first coming in 1956. This total places him seventh on the all-time list. His victories helped him finish third in McCormack's World Golf Rankings in 1968, 1969 and 1970, the first three years they were published.He won three major championships: the 1959 and 1966 U.S. Opens, and the 1970 Masters Tournament. He was the PGA Tour Money Winner in 1966 and 1968. He was PGA Player of the Year in 1966 and 1970. <mask> won the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average five times: 1960, 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1968. <mask> was a member of the United States team in the Ryder Cup eight times: 1961, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1975, and a non-playing captain in 1979. <mask> has scored the most points in the Ryder Cup by an American player.<mask> won at least one PGA Tour event for 16 straight seasons, from 1956 to 1971, the third-longest streak, trailing only Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, who each won on Tour in 17 straight years. On the senior circuit, <mask> earned nine Senior PGA Tour (now the Champions Tour) wins from 1982 to 1989, including two senior majors. Legacy
Much has been written in the annals of golf that <mask> was the most underrated star in golf history, and the best modern golfer who never received the accolades he deserved. He was not considered one of the "Big Three" — Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player — who are widely credited with popularizing and bringing enormous commercial success to the sport around the world; however, between 1964 and 1970, <mask> won 27 tournaments on the PGA Tour, two more than Nicklaus and six more than Palmer and Player combined, during that time period.

<mask>  (October 17, 1736 – November 15, 1809) was an American military and political leader during the American Revolutionary War and early days of the United States. Early life

<mask> was born in Marbletown, New York, the son of <mask> and Hester (Wyngart) <mask>. <mask>'s father moved his family to what is now East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1737. Life in the frontier settlement was difficult, as Native American bands, mostly Lenape and Susquehannock, resisted settlers' encroachment. The Brodhead homestead was attacked by natives numerous times during <mask>'s youth. When his father died in 1755, <mask> was left with 150 acres from the estate. He sold his land share to brother Garret.This became the residence of the Flory family for many years at 81 North Courtland Street, the oldest home in East Stroudsburg. The home is now privately owned and renovated by Joel Smith. Marriage and family
<mask> married Elizabeth Dupui of Northampton County in April 1756. To this union was born one child, Ann Garton <mask>. Upon the death of his first wife Elizabeth, he was married to Rebecca Mifflin the widow of Samuel Mifflin. Samuel's brother Thomas Mifflin was the first Governor of Pennsylvania. To this union was born two sons, <mask> and <mask>.Career and activities
<mask> had a relatively unremarkable career before the American Revolutionary War. He farmed, ran a grist mill, and worked as a deputy surveyor for Pennsylvania. In the years leading up to the outbreak of hostilities, <mask> began to take part in the protest movements against British taxation. In 1774, <mask> was elected to represent Bucks County at a provincial meeting held in Philadelphia on July 15, 1774. American Revolution
In 1776 as war broke out, <mask> was commissioned as an officer of the Pennsylvania State Rifle Regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel. His first action came at the Battle of Long Island, where he was recognized by George

At the battle, <mask>'s only son, also named <mask>, was wounded and captured.He was later exchanged in 1778, and retired as a Captain in 1779 from the 3rd Pennsylvania Regiment. After the Battle of Long Island, Broadhead became the acting commander of the remnants of the Pennsylvania State Rifle Regiment and the Pennsylvania State Battalion of Musketry, which were consolidated into a single battalion, the Pennsylvania State Regiment, and would later become the 13th Pennsylvania Regiment. <mask> took over command of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment after the death of its commander, Aeneas Mackay, early in 1777 and was promoted to colonel. <mask> led his troops during the Philadelphia Campaign in 1777 and wintered with the Continental Army at Valley Forge in 1777–78. “On the 5th of March, 1778, the regiment was ordered to Pittsburgh for the defense of the western frontiers, and by directions of Gen. Lachlan McIntosh, Col. <mask> made, about the 12th of July, a detour up the West Branch to check the Indians who were ravaging Wyoming and the West Branch valley. He was at Muncy, on the 24th of July, and had ordered Capt. Finley’s company into Penn's valley, where two of the latter’s soldiers, Thomas Van Doren and Jacob Shedacre, who had participated in the campaign against Burgoyne, were killed, on the 24th, in sight of Potter's Fort, by the Indians.Soon after, Col. Hartley with his regiment relieved Col. <mask>, and he proceeded with the 8th to Pittsburgh”. (Several histories incorrectly state that Washington sent <mask> and the 8th Pennsylvania to rebuild and re-garrison the frontier outpost of Fort Muncy. However, in addition to the above information from the Pennsylvania Archives, the Orderly Book of the 8th Pennsylvania Regt and the Muster Rolls at Fort Pitt 1778 show that <mask> led the 8th Pennsylvania regiment to Fort Pitt in the summer of 1778.) <mask> commanded the

On March 5, 1779, <mask> replaced McIntosh as commander of the Western Department. His command included frontier forts such as Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh), Fort McIntosh (Beaver, Pennsylvania), Fort Laurens (near Bolivar, Ohio), Fort Henry (Virginia) (Wheeling, West Virginia), Fort Armstrong (near Kittanning, Pennsylvania), and Fort Holliday's Cove, along with dozens of lesser outposts.The Wyandot, Mingo, Shawnee, and Lenape allied with the British and regularly raided settlements on the Ohio Country frontier. The British were strong at Fort Detroit and other outposts, and had most of the Iroquois Confederacy as allies. In addition, <mask> faced a tenuous alliance with Iroquois tribes such as the Oneida who supported the Patriot cause as allies, a large population of Tory-sympathizing settlers, and a delicate truce with the powerful Lenape-Delaware tribe. Its friendly chief had signed a treaty with the US as an ally. From his headquarters at Fort Pitt, <mask> directed numerous raids against hostile native tribes, often leading the expeditions personally. His most famous raid came against the Seneca tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy between August 11 and September 14, 1779. <mask> left Fort Pitt with a contingent of 605 soldiers and militia to go into northwestern Pennsylvania.He followed the Allegheny River up into New York, where he drove the Seneca out of their villages. As most of the warriors were away fighting the Sullivan Expedition further east in New York, <mask> met little resistance in destroying the villages, crops and people at the heart of the Seneca nation. In April 1781, <mask> led a successful expedition against the Lenape bands around the Muskingum River in the Ohio Country. In 1781, some of the Lenape-Delaware ended their neutrality and sided with the British. In retaliation, <mask>

As a result of <mask>'s campaign, the Delaware fled from eastern Ohio. They also vowed vengeance.He retained command of the Western Department until September 17, 1781, when he was replaced by John Gibson. He had turned over command in May 1781, but returned in August and tried to regain control from Gibson, in the process arresting Gibson. However George Washington sent orders which led to <mask>'s permanent removal from command at Fort Pitt. <mask> was removed from his command over allegations of mishandling supplies and money. <mask> had made impressment (the forced sale of supplies) a policy. He had spent money intended for bonuses to recruit new militiamen to purchase supplies for his existing troops. <mask> was acquitted of all charges except misspending the recruiting money.George Washington had been aware of the impressment and had given his tacit approval, as the Continental Army was struggling to keep going. Furthermore, the court martial ruled <mask> justified in spending the recruiting money on supplies, and he was not punished. A short time later, George Washington brevetted him a brigadier general. <mask> spent the remainder of the war as commander of the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment. Later life

<mask> (June 1, 1943 – June 26, 2021) was an American television and film director, writer, and producer who was best known as the creator and executive producer of the television show Cops, which premiered on Fox in March 1989. Prior to that, he was among the reality television pioneers as a producer of various two-hour event specials in syndicated television markets during the 1980s. In fact, <mask> was often credited as being the "Godfather of Reality Television" with the appearance of Cops in 1989. Biography

<mask> was born in Oklahoma City, but moved to Los Angeles as a small child. He was the son of Lurleen (Fox), a homemaker, and <mask>, an oil wildcatter. <mask> was a Morse code intercept operator in the Army Security Agency, an intelligence unit of the United States Army from 1961 to 1963, in Panama. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from California State University, Dominguez Hills in 1971, and later a Master's degree in literature and composition.<mask> briefly participated in the doctorate of philosophy program in University of California, Irvine. On December 2, 1986, <mask> made his entrance into the world of reality television when a show which he produced, American Vice: The Doping of a Nation, showed three live drug arrests on primetime television for the first time. In order to make the show <mask> had convinced officials of the Broward County, Florida Sheriff's Department to allow cameras to accompany them on a previously-scheduled drug bust. The success of the show proved to be the grand inspiration for <mask>'s signature work. Cops
In 1988, <mask> with Malcolm Barbour serving as his production partner, formed Barbour/Langley Productions. He first produced Who Murdered JFK in collaboration with Saban Productions in 1988. <mask>'s most notable achievement perhaps is the innovation of the cinéma vérité signature style of the award-winning Cops television program, which notably

 influenced TV advertising and news reporting, not to mention other network and syndicated programming.<mask> recalled that the Cops concept was initially difficult to sell to television network executives, and that all were "very negative" to his fundamental idea. He was finally able to win a meeting with Barry Diller, then head of Fox to explain his concept, he recalled in a 2013 interview:

'You've gotta have a narrator,' Diller said. And I said no. 'Whattayamean no?' Diller said. And I said that defies the whole purpose of doing it the way I'm talking about doing it. 'All right then,' Diller said.'You gotta do some reenactments.' And I said no. 'Whattayamean no?' And I kept doing this with him because my feeling was I'm not gonna sell out my idea anymore. To hell with 'em all. Ultimately a pilot episode was ordered, which garnered mixed reviews among Fox executives owing to the overly graphic nature of a murder scene which was featured. After viewing the pilot, the network's executives, along with News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch, began to debate the future of the show with <mask> in attendance.<mask> later recalled:

And this guy came in the room and sat in the corner. He looked like an accountant. [After further debate] the guy in the corner says, 'Order four of them. Try four [episodes].' And I look over and Diller says, 'Ah, you hush, I'm talking right now.' And I thought, 'Well, who's that guy, the accountant?' Well, obviously, it turned out that he wasn't the accountant.It was Rupert Murdoch, but [in those days] nobody knew who Rupert Murdoch was or what he looked like. Cops was cancelled by Fox in 2013, and was picked up by what was then Spike, which was now the Paramount Network. The show aired its 32nd season on Paramount Network while continuing its national run on syndicated and cable TV, thus becoming one of the longest running reality series in television history.

During the entire period, Colonel <mask>'s force stubbornly defended Hill 881S, a regional outpost vital to the defense of the Khe Sanh Combat Base.Following his bold spoiling attack on 20 January 1968, shattering a much larger North Vietnamese Army (NVA) force deploying to attack Hill 881S, Colonel <mask>'s force was surrounded and cut off from all outside ground supply for the entire 77 day Siege of Khe Sanh. Enemy snipers, machine guns, artillery, and 120-millimeter mortars responded to any daylight movement on his position. In spite of deep entrenchments, his total casualties during the siege were close to 100 percent. Helicopters were his only source of resupply, and each such mission brought down a cauldron of fire on his landing zones. On numerous occasions Colonel <mask> raced into the landing zone under heavy hostile fire to direct debarkation of personnel and to carry wounded Marines to evacuation helicopters. The extreme difficulty of resupply resulted in conditions of hardship and deprivation seldom experienced by American forces. Nevertheless, Colonel <mask>'s indomitable spirit was truly an inspiration to his troops.He organized his defenses with masterful skill and his preplanned fires shattered every enemy probe on his positions. He also devised an early warning system whereby NVA artillery and rocket firings from the west were immediately reported by lookouts to the Khe Sanh Combat Base, giving exposed personnel a few life saving seconds to take cover, saving

Completely disregarding his own safety, he repeatedly exposed himself to the enemy fire in order to pinpoint North Vietnamese automatic weapons positions. His bold initiative was instrumental in the destruction of a hostile .50 caliber machine gun which had shot down a medical evacuation aircraft. When Captain <mask> coordinated all his forces and evacuated all casualties, he ordered his men to withdraw and remained behind to provide covering fire until his men had reached the base of the hill.Only then did he leave the area to rejoin his unit. As a result of his aggressive actions, his company accounted for 103 North Vietnamese confirmed killed. By his courage inspiring leadership and selfless devotion to duty at great personal risk, Captain <mask> upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.

<mask>  (, 4 February 1931 – 6 April 2000) was a prominent Iranian actor, film director and freestyle wrestler. Biography

Early life
<mask> was born and raised in a poor area in southern Tehran. He was the eldest of three children. After graduating from high school, <mask> joined the Air Force and became a freestyle wrestler in his twenties; he won a silver medal at the 1954 World Wrestling Championships and placed fourth in 1957. Acting
<mask> was a popular lead actor in Iranian cinema, and was known by the title, King of Hearts, after his lead role in an Iranian film of the same title (Soltane Ghalbha). He rose to fame in the 1960s. For the average Iranian, he was a heroic figure who served as an alternative to non Iranian movie stars.He was stereotypically cast as the poor tough guy with the heart of gold who got the girl at the end. His films include, Behesht Door Nist, Ghazal, and Ganje Qarun. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, he starred in only two more films, Bar Faraz -e- Asemanha and Barzakhiha. He also acted in the Indo Iranian Bollywood film Subah O Sham (1972) starring alongside Waheeda Rehman, Sanjeev Kapoor, Simin Ghaffari and Azar. The film was directed by Tapi Chanakya. His voice in the film was dubbed by Satyen Kappu. Post-Revolutionary Limitations
<mask> was banned from working for almost the entire time that he lived through the post-revolutionary period.He could only act in one film, The Imperilled (Barzakhi-ha), which was released in 1982 and resulted in his life-time ban. The Imperilled was directed by Iraj Ghaderi and had four pre-revolutionary male stars in the lead roles. With its patriotic story about resisting foreign invasion, it was a chance for <mask>, Malek-Motiei, Ghaderi and Rad to renew their threatened careers as actors in the post-revolutionary atmosphere. The film was a hit and became the highest grossing Iranian film of all time in its short period of screening in theaters. But it was soon

 banned and consequently the four actors were banned from working. Saeed Motalebi, an established writer and director in the pre-revolutionary era, was the writer of the film. He is one of the people who has repeatedly recounted stories about how the film and the actors were banned.About how the film's success was turned into disaster Motalebi says: In one friday Mr. Mohsen Makhmalbaf gathered a couple of people and they started collecting signatures for a petition which was written on a scroll, stating that "We have made a revolution while these actors are transgressors." They did it right in front of that theater in the Revolution Square near the university of Tehran. They said "Look how theaters are crowded while friday events are deserted." That's how they stopped my film. Then a reporter who was queued to ask something about our film, went and told the then prime minister (Mir-Hossein Mousavi) "There is a film in theaters whose writer wants to convey that people who are fighting in the fronts are problematic persons." The prime minister replied "These are leftovers of junk intellectuals who will soon go to the dustbin of history." Malek-Motiei became jobless and turned his garage into a pastry shop.Ghaderi put some rice bags in his office and became a rice dealer. <mask> opened a pastry shop too and when I went to visit him, I used to wait outside as long as there were no customers so that he wouldn't feel ashamed when he saw me. These were all caused by those illogical efforts which I will never forgive. Death
<mask> died as a result of cardiac arrest on 6 April 2000 at the age of 69. The news of his death was largely ignored by state radio and television, which was run according to the dictates of the Islamic establishment, who had disapproved of his acting career and had banned his films post the 1979 revolution. He was buried in the Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery in Tehran. More than 20,000 mourners attended his funeral in
