 radio, first at New York station WABC, leading his Yale Collegians Orchestra,  and then on WEAF and the NBC Red Network beginning in February 1929. He became one of the first crooners. Singers needed strong voices to fill theaters in the days before microphones. Crooners had soft voices that were suited to the intimacy of radio; the microphones, in this case, promoted direct access to "a vulnerable and sensuous interior," or in other words, "a conjured intimacy". Vallée's trombone-like vocal phrasing on "Deep Night" would inspire Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Perry Como to model their voices on jazz instruments.Vallée was one of the first celebrity pop stars. Flappers pursued him wherever he went. His live appearances were usually sold out. Among screaming female fans, his voice failed to project in venues without microphones and amplification, so he often sang through a megaphone. A caricature of him singing this way was depicted in the Betty Boop cartoon Poor Cinderella (1934). Another caricature is in Crosby, Columbo, and Vallee, which parodies him, Bing Crosby, and Russ Columbo. In the words of a magazine writer in 1929,
At the microphone he is truly a romantic figure.Faultlessly attired in evening dress, he pours softly into the radio's delicate ear a stream of mellifluous melody. He appears to be coaxing, pleading and at the same time adoring the invisible one to whom his song is attuned. Vallée had his share of detractors as well as fans when his popularity was at its height. Radio Revue, a radio fan magazine, held a contest in which people wrote letters explaining his success. The winning letter, written by a man who disliked Vallée's music, said, "<mask>e is reaping the harvest of a seed that is seldom sown this day and age: LOVE. The good-looking little son-of-a-gun really and honestly LOVES his audience and his art.

 orchestra, but a Vallée hour rehearsal never quite loses its air of being a gathering of old friends... <mask> is grimly serious about rehearsal. He sometimes has his band spend a quarter-hour going over one short passage that doesn't satisfy him.On those occasions his temper wears thin..."

During his divorce from his second wife, Fay Webb, she alleged that "Vallée is possessed of a violent, vicious, and ungovernable temper, and given to the use of blasphemy and the use of intemperate, vile, and vituperative language, particularly when applied to [her]". She accused him of committing adultery with three women, including actress Alice Faye. Vallée denied the allegations, and the judge found him "not guilty of any misconduct or maltreatment of Webb which detrimentally affected her health, physical or medical condition". Vallée got into a fist fight with producer George White on the set of the 1934 film George White's Scandals. Dorothy Brooks wrote in 1936, "Other stars on the air have their troubles, their disagreements, and yet you don't read about their ending in black eyes. Only <mask>e seems to figure in endings of this kind." In an interview with Brooks, Vallée claimed he found fighting "savage and stupid" and "the wrong way to try to solve problems, because it never solves them".When asked why he got into fights, he replied, "I just lost my temper. I'll admit I have a too-quick temper." Vallée died of cancer at his home on July 3, 1986, while watching the televised centennial ceremonies of the restored Statue of Liberty. His wife Eleanor said that his last words were, "I wish we could be there; you know how I love a party." Legacy
In 1995, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs, California, Walk of Stars was dedicated to him. For his work in radio, Vallée was inducted into the Vermont Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame

title: Charles Wilmot, 1st Viscount Wilmot

texts:
<mask>, 1st Viscount <mask> of Athlone (c. 1572 – 1644) was an English soldier active in Ireland. Life

He was the son of <mask> of Culham (otherwise of Newent, Gloucestershire and Witney, Oxfordshire) and Elizabeth Stafford. On 6 July 1587 he matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, aged 16, but left the university without a degree, and took service in the Irish wars, perhaps in attendance on his neighbour, Sir Thomas Norris, who was also a member of Magdalen College. In 1592 he became a captain, and early in 1595 he was sent to Newry; in the same year he was also in command of sixty foot at Carrickfergus. In 1597 Norris, now President of Munster, made Wilmot sergeant-major of the forces in that province; he was promoted colonel in 1598. He was knighted by Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex at Dublin on 5 August 1599, and on the 16th was sent with instructions to the council of Munster for its government during Norris's illness. On 23 June 1600 <mask>, 8th Baron Mountjoy directed George Carew to swear in Wilmot as a member of the Munster council, and during the next two years he took a prominent part in the closing stages of the Nine Years' War.In July 1600 <mask> was left by Carew in command of Carrigafoyle Castle on the River Shannon; shortly afterwards he was given command of a force of 1,050-foot and fifty horse, with which in October he defeated Thomas Fitzmaurice, 18th Baron Kerry, and in November captured Listowel Castle after sixteen days' siege. Florence Maccarthy Reagh is said to have urged <mask>'s assassination at this time, but he was warned by Florence's wife. On 8 December he was granted the

In July 1602 Carew left Munster, suggesting <mask>'s appointment as vice-president; Robert Cecil, however, wrote that the queen would not 'accept Wilmot or any such', but <mask> became commander-in-chief of the forces during Carew's absence, and in September 1602 was made governor of Kerry; in the same month he captured 'Mocrumpe,' and throughout the winter was engaged in clearing Kerry of the rebels. In the last week of December and first week of January 1602–3 he inflicted a series of reverses on the Irish in Beare and Bantry, completely over-running the country. In February he turned north-west, again captured Lixnaw, and subdued the Dingle peninsula, effecting a junction with Carew over the Mangerton pass.In the following March <mask> was associated with Sir George Thornton in the government of Munster during Carew's absence. Cork, however, refused to acknowledge his authority and proclaim James I, and shut its gates against him. <mask> sat down before it, and turned his guns on the inhabitants to prevent their demolishing the forts erected against the Spanish. He refused, however, to attack the city, and waited till Carew's return, when its submission was arranged. <mask> now settled down as governor of Kerry. In 1606 he was again acting with Thornton as joint-commissioner for the government of Munster, and in November 1607 was granted a pension and sworn of the Irish privy council. On 20 May 1611 he was granted in reversion the marshalship of Ireland, but

On 3 June 1616 he was appointed President of Connaught, the seat of his government being Athlone; and on 4 January 1621 he was created Viscount <mask> of Athlone in the peerage of Ireland. Among the rewards for his services were grants of the monastery of Ballinglass and abbey of Carrickfergus in 1614. While president of Connaught <mask> embarked on a scheme for rebuilding Athlone; and in 1621 Sir <mask> accused him of leasing and alienating crown lands and reserving the profits to himself; these charges were referred to commissioners, but <mask>'s defence was accepted for the time being, and on 7 November 1625 he received a pardon. <mask> also renewed his appointment as president of Connaught, and in October 1627 selected him as commander of a relief expedition to be sent to the Isle of Rhé. His fleet was, however, delayed at Plymouth, first by want of supplies, and then by storms, which damaged the ships and drove them back into port. Meanwhile the English at La Rochelle had been compelled to retreat, and Wilmot returned to Ireland, where he was appointed on 6 November 1629 general and commander-in-chief of the forces.On 11 September 1630 Roger Jones, 1st Viscount Ranelagh was associated with him in the presidency of Connaught, and on 6 August 1631 he was one of the commissioners appointed to govern Dublin and Leinster during the absence of the lords justices. In 1631, when it was resolved to supersede the lords justices of Ireland by the nomination of a lord deputy, <mask> had hopes of being

 selected for the post. Thomas Wentworth's appointment he resented as a slight, and the new lord-deputy's inquisition into financial abuses soon brought him into collision with Wilmot. In September 1634 proceedings at Athlone were again called in question; a commission of inquiry was issued early in 1635, and the Irish law officers instituted suits against Wilmot before the castle chamber on the ground of misdemeanour and in the court of exchequer for recovery of the crown lands he had alienated. <mask>, in revenge, abetted Barr's petition against Wentworth, but on 3 October 1635 was forced to submit, and on 13 July 1636 sought the lord-deputy's favour. Wentworth insisted on restitution of the crown lands, but ineffectively, before his recall from Ireland. <mask>'s age prevented his serving against the Irish Rebellion of 1641, but he retained his joint-presidency of Connaught till his death, probably in the early part of 1644.He was alive on 29 June 1643, but dead before April 1644, when his son Henry and Sir <mask> were appointed joint-presidents of Connaught. His will dated 21 May 1643 refers to a house near Charing Cross adjoining Scotland Yard. Family

Wilmot married, first, about 1605, Sarah, fourth daughter of Sir Henry Anderson, sheriff of London in 1601–2; by her, buried on 8 December 1615, he had issue three sons. Their children were:
<mask> (born before 1610, died 31 October/1 November 1632); married Penelope, daughter of Sir Moyses Hill of Hillsborough, Provost Marshal of Ulster, and Alice MacDonnell. Penelope  died in 1694, having made two further marriages, to  Sir William Brooke  and Hon. Edward

Scott was the first scorer, with Papanicolaou following.Looby, Vrkic, King, Petrulas, Tsiakos, Psaropoulos, Mocnik were also important. The basic guard was the 20-year-old Vangelis Mantzaris. Peristeri takes the seventh place and is excluded from the playoffs by Panathinaikos with 88-60 and 74-72. The next season (2011-2012) is even more difficult.

In 1999, she was promoted as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Health. As a health minister, <mask> helped implement the Sure Start programme. In this post, she was also the first British government minister in history to take maternity leave.From 2002 to 2003, <mask> was the Parliamentary Secretary to the Lord Chancellor's Department.

According to Conservative columnist Matthew Parris, <mask> conceived HIPS but avoided direct criticism for its problems because of her connection with Brown. The Labour government under Brown had identified affordable housing as one of its core objectives.In July 2007, <mask> announced in the House of Commons that "unless we act now, by 2026 first-time buyers will find average house prices are ten times their salary. That could lead to real social inequality and injustice. Every part of the country needs more affordable homes – in the North and the South, in urban and rural communities". In 2008, <mask> became the first woman to serve as Chief Secretary to the Treasury where she was involved with taking Northern Rock into public ownership.

 promotion meant that the two became the first married couple ever to sit in the cabinet together. In 2009, <mask> was appointed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and took over leading on the Welfare Reform Act 2009 which included measures to extend the use of benefit sanctions to force unemployed people to seek work. Many campaigners – including the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) – urged <mask> to rethink Labour's approach, arguing instead that increasing support for job seekers was vital to eradicating child poverty.Allegations over expenses

In May 2009, the Daily Telegraph reported that <mask> had changed the designation of her second home twice in two years. Following a referral to the parliamentary standards watchdog, <mask> and her husband Ed Balls were exonerated by John Lyon, the Standards Commissioner. He said they had paid capital gains tax on their homes and were not motivated by profit. <mask> and Balls bought a four-bedroom house in Stoke Newington, North London, and registered this as their second home (rather than their home in Castleford, West Yorkshire); this qualified them for up to £44,000 a year to subsidise a reported £438,000 mortgage under the Commons Additional Costs Allowance, of which they claimed £24,400. An investigation in MPs' expenses by Sir Thomas Legg found that <mask> and her husband had both received overpayments of £1,363 in relation to their mortgage. He ordered them to repay the money.

 to stand aside if <mask> wanted to stand, but <mask> declined for the sake of their children, stating that it would not be the right time for her. She later topped the 2010 ballot for places in the Shadow cabinet, and there was speculation that the newly elected Labour Leader Ed Miliband would appoint her Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. She instead became Shadow Foreign Secretary. When Alan Johnson resigned as Shadow Chancellor on 20 January 2011, <mask> was appointed Shadow Home Secretary.

Reviews

 "Jeton Kelmendi's name in poetry is the part that gives meaning to this art, while the poetry of this European author is large and very dimensional. The poet Kelmendi has so much power to introduce you into his poetic art that he creates the conviction that his words are alive and you cannot leave reading". Prof. Ernesto Kahan, Professor Emeritus, Israel
NOBEL Peace Prize 1985
 "Prefers to better propagate within his heart than in the exotic exterior world, filtering the intuition behind his characters. Again, his instant art is amazing the skill that uses.His poems often summarized several times in a few words. This is touching, due to its concerns and shortcomings." Acad. Athanase Vantchev de Thracym, France
 "With inspiring flowers, and the words flow easily translated, he has literary persistent effects, which can be found in this volume. <mask> Kelmendi leads us in the twenty-first century, with a name that is becoming greater." Christopher Lawrence, England
 "Our author has the ability to move through different times: long distance, ancient, not so far, present and future. This is probably his strength about what he presents before the cosmopolitan readers."Prof. Dr. RICHARD A. BROSIO, University of Michigan, Professor Emeritus, USA

His first two prime-ministerial terms lasted just months (in 1991 and 1996), while the third ran from June 1997 to January 1999. The first was brought to an end by defeat in the 1991 elections, the latter two by the breakdown of <mask>' coalition governments. Career

He was State Minister for Information (December 1983), then Minister of Culture and Tourism (1986), and Minister of Foreign Affairs (December 1987 to February 1990). Upon Özal's election to the presidency in 1989, <mask> became the leader of an intraparty opposition to the new Prime Minister, Yıldırım Akbulut.Prime Minister

Yılmaz also made the Motherland Party more business-friendly and Europe-oriented, causing the more conservative, religious wing to switch to the Welfare Party (RP) of Necmettin Erbakan. In the December 1995 general election ANAP again came second, this time to the Welfare Party. After lengthy coalition negotiations <mask> formed a coalition with the DYP in March 1996 (53rd government of Turkey), but this lasted less than four months, falling to a censure motion led by the Welfare Party.President Demirel invited Erbakan to form a government, which he did, in coalition with the DYP. Erbakan's term was marked by the Susurluk scandal, during the investigation of which <mask> admitted the existence of the JİTEM counter-terrorist Gendarmerie unit. The scandal led to the resignation of Erbakan's Interior Minister, Mehmet Ağar (a leader of the True Path Party, DYP), following revelations that Abdullah Çatlı, leader of the far-right Grey Wolves organisation, worked for the state. <mask>' concerns over his own safety, owing to his support of the Susurluk investigation, led to him briefly carrying a gun in self-defense. <mask> formed a government for the third time in June 1997, after the Welfare Party had resigned from government following the February 1997 military memorandum. DYP and others expected to form a government under Tansu Çiller, but President Süleyman Demirel asked <mask> to form the new government. <mask> created an ANAP-Democratic Left Party-Democrat Turkey Party coalition which lasted until January

He was the bench coach for the Kansas City Royals from 2005 to 2007 and posted a 4-6 record as the Royals' interim manager to close the 2006 season. Doran rejoined the Reds on November 2, 2007, as the minor league infielding/baserunning coordinator. After previously serving as the minor league field coordinator, Doran moved into the role of special assistant to the general manager, player performance role for the Reds for the 2019 season. Early life
Doran attended Mount Healthy High School and played baseball at the Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. At Mt. Healthy, he starred in baseball, basketball, and football, leading the Owls to several league championships as an All-League quarterback.Though he was considered one of the best option quarterbacks to ever play at MtH, during his sophomore year he threw a 99 yard touchdown pass to receiver Vince Brown, a record that still stands.In 1977, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Baseball career
Doran was selected by the Houston Astros in the sixth round of the 1979 draft. Doran came into the majors as a September call-up in the 1982 season. That year, he would play in 26 games while batting .278 on 27 hits. For the 1983 season, he would be the starting second baseman for the Astros, which started with Opening Day.

It was the first of eight times that he would have more walks than strikeouts in a season; he finished fifth in the Rookie of the Year Award, which went to Darryl Strawberry. He would decrease in productivity slightly in 1984, playing in 147 games while batting .271. He walked 66 times and struck out 69 times while having 143 hits and 41 runs batted in (RBI). Dubiously, while he was second in a general amount of offensive categories to José Cruz, he led the Astros in times caught stealing (12). For the following season, he batted .287 while playing 148 games, for which he would have 71 walks to go with 69 strikeouts. He led the Astros in runs, hits, walks, stolen bases and also times caught stealing.He received votes for the Most Valuable Player award. The Astros, having experienced a downturn since the back-to-back playoff births in 1980 & 1981, finally bounced back in 1986, and <mask> was there to contribute. He played in 145 games while batting .276, stealing 42 bases alongside 81 walks to 57 strikeouts. He would lead the team in runs, stolen bases, and perhaps most dubiously in times caught stealing (19, which led the league). <mask> finished eleventh in the voting for NL Most Valuable Player that year In the 1986 National League Championship Series, he would have a cold bat for most of the series, having six hits on 29 plate appearances.

In the pivotal Game 6, often thought of as one of the best postseason games played of the season, Doran would have a small part in the overall result. Doran had a single and was then forced out at second base in the first inning that would later see four straight Astros get on base and result in a 3-0 initial lead. The Mets would tie the game and the teams dueled it out until the 16th inning. Doran, with a runner on first and one out while trailing 7-4, hit a single to try and continue a potential rally. He would score the 6th run of the game for the Astros on a Glenn Davis single, but the next batter in Kevin Bass was struck out by Jesse Orosco to end the game and series. Before the 1987 season, Doran lost an arbitration case with the Astros, as he had sought a raise of $275,000 from his previous salary (which was $550,000), with the result being that he was paid only $625,000.He had his best year that season, as he led the NL in games played (162), batted .283, hit a career high 16 home runs, had a career high .992 fielding percentage, and scored a career high 79 runs. <mask> however would recoil in the following year. He batted .248 while playing in 132 games while having 65 walks to 60 strikeouts. After the season, Doran underwent rotator cuff surgery.

<mask> (20 January 1714, – 5 February 1787) was an English Dissenter and theologian. He was educated at the Dissenting Academy in Northampton under Philip Doddridge, and became pastor of a congregation at Walthamstow, Essex. In 1701 he became preacher and one of the Tuesday lecturers at Salters' Hall, London. He was a believer in miracles, but wrote against the existence of supernatural evil. He viewed the devil as allegorical. Life
A younger son of William and <mask>, he was born on 20 January 1714 at the Isle Gate farm in a Shropshire hamlet called the Isle, within the parish of St. Chad, Shrewsbury. His mother was a daughter of <mask> of Bronycludwr, Merionethshire, one of the nonconformists of 1662.<mask> was at school at Llanegryn, Merionethshire, and then under Charles Owen, at Warrington. In 1731 he entered the dissenting academy run by Philip Doddridge at Northampton; to his tutor's preaching and his reading of the sermons of Joseph Boyse he attributed his religious impressions. On leaving the academy (1736) he became assistant to David Some of Market Harborough (d. May 1737). Early in 1737 he took charge of a struggling congregation at Walthamstow, founded by Samuel Slater, a minister ejected from St. James's, Bury St Edmunds. He at first lodged in London, only five miles away, but was then received into the family of William Snell, a chancery solicitor, and friend of Doddridge. <mask> made an increase in the congregation.

In 1740 a new meeting-house was built for <mask> on a piece of ground given by Snell. <mask>'s preaching drew a distinguished congregation; Andrew Kippis remembered dozens of coaches in at the meeting-house door. He continued to reside with the Snells as a permanent guest, and spent most of his income in books. In 1759 his congregation relieved him of some duties by appointing as afternoon preacher Ebenezer Radcliffe, who remained his colleague till 1777. Thomas Belsham was invited to succeed him, but declined. <mask> then prepared his treatise on Temptation of Christ (preface dated 23 June 1761).Soon afterwards he accepted the post of afternoon preacher at Salters' Hall, vacated by the promotion of Francis Spilsbury to the pastorate; this was a presbyterian congregation, but <mask> never ceased to be an independent. Except for that of James Fordyce of Monkwell Street, his was the largest afternoon congregation among the presbyterians of London. In 1762 he was elected a trustee of Dr. Williams's foundations; he was also elected a trustee of the Coward Trust. About the same time he was chosen one of

At the same time he resigned the pastorate at Walthamstow, but continued to preach in the morning until a successor was appointed. In 1782 he resigned his place on the Coward Trust, but was re-elected later.His health was then failing, and he usually wintered at Bath. He overcame two severe attacks of kidney stone, but in 1785 was threatened with blindness (his father had been blind for six years before his death). An operation restored to him the use of his eyes, and his last days were devoted to study. He died on 5 February 1787, and was buried in the parish churchyard at Walthamstow, in the same grave with his friend Snell. He never married. His elder brother, John, a strict Calvinist and a good scholar, became (30 December 1730) assistant to Richard Rawlin at Fetter Lane, and afterwards (28 March 1739) colleague with Edward Bentley at Coggeshall, Essex; he published a volume of sermons (1756), and succeeded Joseph Priestley at Needham Market, Suffolk (1758).

 young preachers. He censured Joseph Priestley's publications. Conservative in his views, he was keenly alive to the thorny places of doctrinal systems, and avoided them. His recommendation was "Sell all your commentators and buy Grotius", an echo of a remark which he had heard in Doddridge's classroom, but without Doddridge's qualification. He exercised an influence on liberal dissent. He was the champion of the divine sovereignty, both as excluding from the physical world the operation of any other invisible agents, and as authorising the production of 'new phænomena' which remove 'the inconveniences of governing by fixed and general laws.' <mask> maintained that the proof of the divinity of a doctrine is the fact that its enunciation has been followed by a miracle.<mask>'s positions were adopted by the rationalising section of dissenters; but in the long run his strong assertions of the fixity of natural law overcame his argument for miracles. The subject proposed the wilderness account of Christ's temptation by the Devil was a prophetic vision, rather than an actual event. Works

<mask> "Nugget" <mask> (24 February 1906 – 29 October 1997) was an Australian economist and public servant. He is best known for having been the first Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, in which capacity he served from 1960 to 1968. Early years
<mask> was born in Kalamunda, Western Australia, one of six children of a country railway stationmaster and a well-read mother. <mask>'s political and economic views were formed by the Great Depression, which hit Australia in 1929 and caused a complete economic collapse in a country totally dependent on commodity exports for its prosperity. As a student in Perth, he was a socialist, but while he was studying at the London School of Economics, he became converted to the economic views of John Maynard Keynes. He spent the rest of his career pursuing Keynesian solutions to Australia's economic problems. He never sought public office nor joined a political party, but he sought to exercise political influence as an administrator and advisor.He won a scholarship to Perth Modern School. After five years there, he worked as a pupil-teacher for a year before spending two years at the Teachers' College. He then spent two years teaching at country schools, during which he studied for a Bachelor of Arts degree in the University of Western Australia (UWA), then the only free university in Australia. Transferring to a metropolitan school for the final two years, he graduated B.A. with first-class honours in economics and won a Hackett Studentship for overseas study. That was deferred for a year, enabling him to graduate M.A., also from UWA, and to marry fellow teacher Mary Alice ('Lallie') Ross at the end of 1931. As a student at UWA, <mask>s was elected as the 1930 Sports Council president and subsequently the 1931 president of the Guild of Undergraduates.He then proceeded to the London School of Economics, where he studied under <mask>, one of the most influential Marxists of the 20th

In 1934, <mask>s returned to Australia, and in 1935, he became an economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, then a state-owned bank that served as Australia's central bank. In 1939, he shifted to the Department of the Treasury in Canberra as a senior economist. He became known as a Keynesian rebel against the classical economics theory that had dominated the Treasury, under the influence of the Melbourne University school of economists, led by L. F. Giblin and <mask>. The Australian Labor Party under John Curtin came to power in 1941, and <mask>s found himself in a political environment much more supportive of his views.<mask>in appointed him to the Commonwealth Bank board in October 1941. In 1942, the Treasurer, <mask>, appointed him Director of Rationing, and in 1943 made him Director-General of the Department of Post-war Reconstruction, a new ministry that <mask>y held in addition to the Treasury. <mask> played a leading role in the preparation of the White Paper on Full Employment in Australia which, for the first time, committed the government to maintaining full employment from the post-WWII years. <mask>y, a former train driver, had no training in economics and came to rely heavily on <mask>'s advice. <mask>'s closeness to <mask>y and the greatly expanded role of government in the economy during World War II made him one of the most powerful public servants in Australian history. His influence further expanded when <mask>y became prime minister in 1945. In January 1949, <mask>y appointed <mask> as governor of the Commonwealth Bank, the most important post in the regulation of the Australian economy.When the Liberal Party came to power in December of that year, however, <mask>'s demise seemed likely, but the new

 prime minister, Robert Menzies, kept him on and soon came to trust his judgement. Menzies was a moderate Keynesian, and there were few policy differences between the two men, especially since Australia soon embarked on a long postwar boom, and hardly any tough economic decisions needed to be made. In 1960, when the Reserve Bank of Australia was created to take over the Commonwealth Bank's central banking functions, <mask> was appointed governor of the Reserve Bank. At the time, he paid tribute to Sir Leslie Melville by advising the government and others that the best man for the job had been overlooked. He retired as a public servant in 1968. Later life
<mask> continued to work following his retirement. He had already signalled his interest in the arts by becoming the first chairman of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust in 1954 (named in honour of Elizabeth II, not because it promoted Elizabethan theatre).In 1967, he persuaded Prime Minister <mask> to create the Australian Council for the Arts (the non-statutory predecessor to the Australia Council) as a body for the public funding of the arts, and in 1968, he became its chairman. He worked closely with Prime Minister John Gorton to secure funding for an Australian film industry. He also became chancellor of the Australian National University (1968–1976), which he had helped found in 1946. He delivered the 1970 Buntine Oration, titled "Human Values – Education in the Changing Australian Society." <mask>'s most important post-retirement role was as a supporter of the Australian Aboriginal people. In 1967, he became chairman of the Council for Aboriginal Affairs, set up by the <mask> Government in the wake of the referendum that gave the Commonwealth Parliament power to legislate specifically for the Aboriginal people. He was, however, disappointed that the Gorton and McMahon Governments took up few of the Council's recommendations.He became a close advisor to the Labor

In 1972, he was named Australian of the Year. From 1972 to 1975, <mask>s served as a consultant to Prime Minister Whitlam, but his influence was resented by other ministers. He found the experience of the first Labor government since 1949 disappointing. He disapproved of the events that led up to the Loans Affair of 1975 and the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis, which led to the dismissal of Whitlam's government by the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr. He advised Whitlam not to resort to unorthodox means of financing government operations when the Senate blocked supply, but Whitlam did so anyway. Although he regarded the dismissal as scandalous, his estrangement from Whitlam meant that he took little subsequent part in politics.In 1975, he was chairman of a Royal Commission on Australian Government Administration, which was tasked with examining the purpose, functions, organisation and management of Australian Government bodies and the structure and management of the Australian Public Service. Nevertheless, the Royal Commission report was largely ignored by the incoming Liberal government of Malcolm Fraser. In 1976, <mask> resigned all his posts and became a visiting fellow at the Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies at the Australian National University, where he developed a new interest in environmental issues. However, Aboriginal affairs remained his greatest passion and, in 1979, he launched the Aboriginal Treaty Committee, calling for a formal treaty between Australia and the Aboriginal people. The idea gained much public support but neither the Fraser government nor its successor, <mask>'s Labor government, took it up. From 1977 to 1979, <mask> was the president of the Australian Conservation Foundation. <mask>s

During the <mask> government administration, the "<mask>s legacy" in Aboriginal affairs came under increasing criticism. Journalist Piers Akerman argued that <mask>s's policy amounted to "politically correct apartheid", and that the communal land ownership implicit in Aboriginal land rights was keeping Aboriginal people poor and dependent on welfare by preventing the private ownership of land. Relationship with Judith Wright
In a June 2009 article in The Monthly, journalist <mask> revealed the story of the 25-year secret love affair between two of Australia's most well-known and well-loved public figures, "the famous poet-cum-activist" Judith Wright and "the distinguished yet down-to-earth statesman" 'Nugget' <mask>s. Recognition
<mask> was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in the first awards of the Order on the Queen's Birthday in 1975.

In January 2008, it was announced that a new suburb in the Canberra district of Molonglo would be named Coombs.References
