 In August, fearing a Democratic victory and acceptance of the Confederacy, <mask> engaged in a plot to get a new convention to nominate another candidate, with Lincoln withdrawing. The plot came to nothing. Once Atlanta was taken by Union forces on September 3, <mask> became a fervent supporter of Lincoln. <mask> was gratified by both Lincoln's re-election and continued Union victories.Reconstruction
As the war drew to a close in April 1865, <mask> and the Tribune urged magnanimity towards the defeated Confederates, arguing that making martyrs of Confederate leaders would only inspire future rebels. This talk of moderation ceased when Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. Many concluded that Lincoln had fallen as the result of a final rebel plot, and the new president, Andrew Johnson, offered $100,000 for the capture of fugitive Confederate president Jefferson Davis. After the rebel leader was caught, <mask> initially advocated that "punishment be meted out in accord with a just verdict". Through 1866, <mask> editorialized that Davis, who was being held at Fortress Monroe, should either be set free or put on trial. Davis's wife Varina urged <mask> to use his influence to gain her husband's release. In May 1867, a Richmond judge set bail for the former Confederate president at $100,000.<mask> was among those who signed the bail bond, and the two men met briefly at the courthouse. This act resulted in public anger against <mask> in the North. Sales of the second volume of his history (published in 1866) declined sharply. Subscriptions to the Tribune (especially the Weekly Tribune) also dropped off, though they recovered during

 the 1868 election. Initially supportive of Andrew Johnson's lenient Reconstruction policies, <mask> soon became disillusioned, as the president's plan allowed the quick formation of state governments without securing suffrage for the freedman. When Congress convened in December 1865, and gradually took control of Reconstruction, he was generally supportive, as Radical Republicans pushed hard for universal male suffrage and civil rights for freedmen. <mask> ran for Congress in 1866 but lost badly.He ran for Senate in the legislative election held in early 1867 but lost to Roscoe Conkling. As the president and Congress battled, <mask> remained firmly opposed to the president, and when Johnson was impeached in March 1868, <mask> and the Tribune strongly supported his removal, attacking Johnson as "an aching tooth in the national jaw, a screeching infant in a crowded lecture room," and declaring, "There can be no peace or comfort till he is out." Nevertheless, the president was acquitted by the Senate, much to <mask>'s disappointment. Also in 1868, <mask> sought the Republican nomination for governor but was frustrated by the Conkling forces. Greeley supported the successful Republican presidential nominee, General Ulysses S. Grant in the 1868 election. Grant years

In 1868, Whitelaw Reid joined the Tribune 's staff as managing editor. In Reid, Greeley found a reliable second-in-command.Also on the Tribune's staff in the late 1860s was Mark Twain. Henry George sometimes contributed pieces, as did Bret Harte. In 1870, John Hay joined the staff as an editorial writer. Greeley soon pronounced Hay the most brilliant at that craft ever to

 write for the Tribune. <mask> maintained his interest in associationism. Beginning in 1869, he was heavily involved in an attempt to found the Union Colony of Colorado, a utopia on the prairie, in a scheme led by Nathan Meeker. The new town of Greeley, Colorado Territory was named after him.He served as treasurer and lent Meeker money to keep the colony afloat. In 1871, <mask> published a book What I Know About Farming, based on his childhood experience and that from his country home in Chappaqua. <mask> continued to seek political office, running for state comptroller in 1869 and the House of Representatives in 1870, losing both times. In 1870, President Grant offered <mask> the post of minister to Santo Domingo (today, the Dominican Republic), which he declined. Presidential candidate

As had been the case for much of the 19th century, political parties continued to be formed and to vanish after the Civil War. In September 1871, Missouri Senator Carl Schurz formed the Liberal Republican Party, founded on opposition to President Grant, opposition to corruption, and support of civil service reform, lower taxes, and land reform. He gathered around him an eclectic group of supporters whose only real link was their opposition to Grant, whose administration had proved increasingly corrupt (although Grant himself was not corrupt).The party needed a candidate, with a presidential election upcoming. <mask> was one of the best-known Americans, as well as being a perennial candidate for office. He was more minded to consider a run for the Republican nomination, fearing the effect on the Tribune should he bolt the party. Nevertheless, he

The Liberal Republican national convention met in Cincinnati in May 1872. <mask> was spoken of as a possible candidate, as was Missouri Governor Benjamin Gratz Brown. Schurz was ineligible, being foreign born.On the first ballot, Supreme Court Justice David Davis led, but <mask> took a narrow lead on the second ballot. Former minister to Britain Charles Francis Adams then took the lead, but on the sixth ballot, after a "spontaneous" demonstration staged by Reid, <mask> gained the nomination, with Brown as vice presidential candidate. The Democrats, when they met in Baltimore in July, faced a stark choice: nominate <mask>, long a thorn in their side, or split the anti-Grant vote and go on to certain defeat. They chose the former, and even adopted the Liberal Republican platform, which called for equal rights for African Americans. <mask> resigned as editor of the Tribune for the campaign, and, unusually for the time, embarked on a speaking tour to bring his message to the people. As it was customary for candidates for major office not to actively campaign, he was attacked as a seeker after office. Nevertheless, in late July, <mask> (and others, such as former Ohio governor Rutherford B. Hayes) thought he would very likely be elected.<mask> campaigned on a platform of intersectional reconciliation, arguing that the war was over and the issue of slavery was resolved. It was time to restore normalcy and end the continuing military occupation of the South. The Republican counterattack was well financed, accusing Greeley of support for everything from

 treason to the Ku Klux Klan. The anti-<mask> campaign was famously and effectively summed up in the cartoons of Thomas Nast, whom Grant later credited with a major role in his re-election. Nast's cartoons showed <mask> giving bail money for Jefferson Davis, throwing mud on Grant, and shaking hands with John Wilkes Booth across Lincoln's grave. The Crédit Mobilier scandal—corruption in the financing of the Union Pacific Railroad—broke in September, but <mask> was unable to take advantage of the Grant administration's ties to the scandal as he had stock in the railroad himself, and some alleged it had been given to him in exchange for favorable coverage. <mask>'s wife Mary had returned ill from a trip to Europe in late June.Her condition worsened in October, and he effectively broke off campaigning after October 12 to be with her. She died on October 30, plunging him into despair a week before the election. Poor results for the Democrats in those states that had elections for other offices in September and October presaged defeat for <mask>, and so it proved. He received 2,834,125 votes to 3,597,132 for Grant, who secured 286 electors to 66 for <mask>. The editor-turned-candidate won only six states (out of 37): Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. Final month and death
<mask> resumed the editorship of the Tribune, but quickly learned there was a movement underway to unseat him. He found himself unable to sleep, and after a final visit to the Tribune on November 13 (a week after the election) he remained under medical care.At the recommendation of a family physician, <mask> was sent to Choate House, the asylum of

 Dr. George Choate at Pleasantville, New York. There, he continued to worsen, and he died on November 29, with his two surviving daughters and Whitelaw Reid at his side. His death came before the Electoral College balloted. His 66 electoral votes were divided among four others, principally Indiana governor-elect Thomas A. Hendricks and Greeley's vice presidential running mate, Benjamin Gratz Brown. Although Greeley had requested a simple funeral, his daughters ignored his wishes and arranged a grand affair at the Church of the Divine Paternity, later the Fourth Universalist Society in the City of New York, where Greeley was a member. He is buried in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery. Among the mourners were old friends, Tribune employees including Reid and Hay, his journalistic rivals, and a broad array of politicians, led by President Grant.Appraisal

Despite the venom that had been spewed over him in the presidential campaign, <mask>'s death was widely mourned. Harper's Weekly, which had printed Nast's cartoons, wrote, "Since the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, the death of no American has been so sincerely deplored as that of <mask>ley; and its tragical circumstances have given a peculiarly affectionate pathos to all that has been said of him." Henry Ward Beecher wrote in the Christian Union, "when <mask> died, unjust and hard judgment of him died also". Harriett Beecher Stowe noted Greeley's eccentric dress, "That poor white hat! If, alas, it covered many weaknesses, it covered also much strength, much real kindness and benevolence, and much that the world will be better for". Greeley supported liberal policies towards the fast-growing

 western regions; he memorably advised the ambitious to "Go West, young man." He hired Karl Marx because of his interest in coverage of working-class society and politics, attacked monopolies of all sorts, and rejected land grants to railroads.Industry would make everyone rich, he insisted, as he promoted high tariffs. He supported vegetarianism, opposed liquor, and paid serious attention to any ism anyone proposed. Historian Iver Bernstein says:

<mask>'s view of freedom was based in the desire that all should have the opportunity to better themselves. According to his biographer, Erik S. Lunde, "a dedicated social reformer deeply sympathetic to the treatment of poor white males, slaves, free blacks, and white women, he still espoused the virtues of self-help and free enterprise". Van Deusen stated: "His genuine human sympathies, his moral fervor, even the exhibitionism that was a part of his makeup, made it inevitable that he should crusade for a better world. He did so with apostolic zeal." Nevertheless, <mask>'s effectiveness as a reformer was undermined by his idiosyncrasies: according to Williams, he "must have looked like an apparition, a man of eccentric habits dressed in an old linen coat that made him look like a farmer who came into town for supplies".Van Deusen wrote, "<mask>'s effectiveness as a crusader was limited by some of his traits and characteristics. Culturally deficient, he was to the end ignorant of his own limitations, and this ignorance was a great handicap." The Tribune remained under that name until 1924, when it merged with the New York Herald to become the New York Herald-Tribune, which was published until

In 1934, she legally changed her name to <mask> <mask>, a pen name she had adopted for her first book, published later that year, to increase her marketability, since boys were the main audience for fantasy. During 1940–1941, she worked as a special librarian in the cataloging department of the Library of Congress. She was involved in a project related to alien citizenship which was abruptly terminated upon

In 1941 she bought a bookstore called Mystery House in Mount Rainier, Maryland, the eastern neighbor of Washington, D.C.The business failed, and she returned to the Cleveland Public Library until 1950, when she retired due to ill health. She then began working as a reader for publisher-editor Martin Greenberg at Gnome Press, a small press in New York City that focused on science fiction. She remained until 1958, when, with 21 novels published, she became a full-time professional writer. As <mask>'s health became uncertain, she moved to Winter Park, Florida in November 1966, where she remained until 1997. She moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee in 1997 and was under hospice care from February 21, 2005. She died at home on March 17, 2005, of congestive heart failure. Literary career

In 1934, her first book, The Prince Commands, being sundry adventures of Michael Karl, sometime crown prince & pretender to the throne of Morvania, with illustrations by Kate Seredy,  was published by D. Appleton–Century Company (cataloged by the U.S. Library of Congress as by "<mask>").She went on to write several historical novels for the juvenile (now called "young adult") market. <mask>'s first published science fiction was a short story, "The People of the Crater", which appeared under the name "<mask>" as pages 4–18 of the inaugural 1947 number of Fantasy Book, a magazine from Fantasy Publishing Company, Inc. Her first fantasy novel, Huon of the Horn, published by Harcourt Brace under her own name in 1951, adapted the 13th-century story of Huon, Duke of Bordeaux.

As of 1958, when she became a full-time professional writer, Kirkus had reviewed 16 of her novels, and awarded four of them starred reviews. Her four starred reviews to 1957 had been awarded for three historical adventure novels—Follow the Drum (1942), Scarface (1948), Yankee Privateer (1955)—and one cold war adventure, At Swords' Points (1954).She received four starred reviews subsequently, latest in 1966, including three for science fiction. <mask> was twice nominated for the Hugo Award, in 1964 for the novel Witch World and in 1967 for the novelette "Wizard's World". She was nominated three times for the World Fantasy Award for lifetime achievement, winning the award in 1998. <mask> won a number of other genre awards and regularly had works appear in the Locus annual "best of year" polls. She was a founding member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America (SAGA), a loose-knit group of heroic fantasy authors founded in the 1960s, led by Lin Carter, with entry by fantasy credentials alone. <mask> was the only woman among the original eight members. Some works by SAGA members were published in Lin Carter's Flashing Swords!anthologies. In 1976, Gary Gygax invited <mask> to play Dungeons & Dragons in his Greyhawk world. <mask> subsequently wrote Quag Keep, which involved a group of characters who travel from the real world to Greyhawk. It was the first novel to be set, at least partially, in the Greyhawk setting and, according to Alternative Worlds, the first to be based on D&D. Quag Keep was excerpted in Issue

Return to Quag Keep was completed by Rabe and published by Tor Books in January 2006.Her final complete novel, Three Hands for Scorpio, was published on April 1, 2005. Besides Return to Quag Keep, Tor has published two more novels with <mask> and Rabe credited as co-authors, Dragon Mage (November 2006) and Taste of Magic (January 2008). Series
<mask> wrote more than a dozen speculative fiction series, but her longest, and longest-running project was "Witch World", which began with the novel Witch World in 1963. The first six novels were Ace Books paperback originals published from 1963 to 1968. From the 1970s most of the books in the series were first published in hardcover editions. From the 1980s some were written by <mask> and a co-author, and others were anthologies of short fiction for which she was editor. (Witch World became a shared universe.)There were dozens of books in all. The five novels of The Cycle of Oak, Yew, Ash, and Rowan, To the King a Daughter,  Knight or Knave, A Crown Disowned,  Dragon Blade, and The Knight of the Red Beard, were written with Sasha Miller. The fifth and last novel was dedicated "To my late collaborator, <mask>, whose vision inspired the NordornLand cycle." ("NordornLand cycle" is another name for this cycle.) Legacy

On February 20, 2005, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, which had honored <mask> with its Grand Master Award in 1984, announced the creation of the Andre Norton Award, to be given each year for an outstanding work of fantasy or

 science fiction for the young adult literature market, beginning with 2005 publications. While the Norton Award is not a Nebula Award, it is voted on by SFWA members on the Nebula ballot and shares some procedures with the Nebula Awards. Nominally for a young adult book, actually the eligible class is middle grade and young adult novels.This added a category for genre fiction to be recognized and supported for young readers. Unlike Nebulas, there is a jury whose function is to expand the ballot beyond the six books with most nominations by members. Often called the Grande Dame of Science Fiction and Fantasy by biographers such as J. M. Cornwell, and organizations such as Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Publishers Weekly, and Time, <mask> wrote novels for over 70 years. She had a profound influence on the entire genre, having over 300 published titles read by at least four generations of science fiction and fantasy readers and writers. Notable authors who cite her influence include Greg Bear, Lois McMaster Bujold, C. J. Cherryh, Cecilia Dart-Thornton, Tanya Huff, Mercedes Lackey, Charles de Lint, Joan D. Vinge, David Weber, K. D. Wentworth, and Catherine Asaro. High Hallack Library
The High Hallack Library was a facility that <mask> was instrumental in organizing and opening. Designed as a research facility for genre writers, and scholars of "popular" literature (the genres of science fiction, fantasy, mystery, western, romance, gothic, and horror), it was located near <mask>'s home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.The facility, named after one of the continents in <mask>'s Witch World series, was home to over 10,000 texts, videos and various other media.

The facility was opened on February 28, 1999, and operated until March 2004. Most of the collection was sold during the closing days of the facility. The declining health of <mask> was one of the leading causes of its closing. See also

<mask> was born on 15 August 1739 at Osbaston Hall in Osbaston, Leicestershire. He was the son of <mask>, who was MP for the Leicestershire constituency, and his wife <mask> (née Burdett). Anne's father was Robert Burdett, who was the son and heir of his namesake Sir Robert Burdett, 3rd Baronet of Bramcote, but he did not succeed to the baronetcy, as he predeceased his father. <mask> was the direct descendant and heir of Sir <mask>, who had first purchased the manors of Markeaton (the principal seat of the Mundys), Allestree and Mackworth from Lord Audley in 1515. To these was added the manor of Osbaston, which the Mundys had inherited through a female ancestor- Philippa Mundy (née Wrightson), who was the daughter and heiress of Michael Wrightson of Osbaston.He was a direct descendant of Edward III via his <mask> ancestors, who could trace their ancestry back to Philippa, Countess of Ulster. As such he was also a descendant of the Plantagenet Kings preceding Edward III, as well as William the Conqueror, the Dukes of Normandy and of Alfred the Great. He received his education at Repton School and then at Winchester, before proceeding to New College, Oxford in 1757, receiving his MA in 1761.

The picture also features in the foreground the manuscript of <mask>'s ‘'The Fall of Needwood Forest’'.South Derbyshire magistrates court also own an oil painting of him "after" Thomas Lawrence. Work
Mundy was the author of two admired descriptive poems Needwood Forest (1776) and the Fall of Needwood (1808). Needwood Forest was a large ancient woodland in Staffordshire which was destroyed under the authority of the Inclosure Act of 1803. Despite <mask>'s and other protests it was removed by 1811. Anna Seward regarded his poem, Needwood Forest, as "one of the most beautiful local poems" and "the first entirely local poem in our language" and persistedly promoted Mundy's poetry, writing verses in praise of it. However she also claimed that large portions of Needwood Forest were actually written by herself and by Erasmus Darwin. Needwood Forest was well regarded in its time, and is an example of the provincial verse that was starting to become a feature of late eighteenth century English literature.The poem, which is in five parts is written in octosyllabic couplets and contains allusions to Milton, Spenser, Denham and Pope. It was printed privately (500 copies as presents to his friends) and is appended with a number of commendatory verses, by fellow Lichfield poets Sir Brooke Boothby, Erasmus Darwin and Anna Seward (attributed only by their initials). Seward tried to persuade <mask> to publish the poem publicly. The Fall of Needwood also contains three shorter poems,

During his naval career, Moosally served in many different assignments, including commander of a destroyer and the battleship . Moosally was captain of the Iowa when the center gun of one of the ship's main gun turrets exploded on April 19, 1989, killing 47 crewmen. During the investigation into the cause of the explosion, <mask> testified that the Navy had assigned personnel of inferior quality to the Iowa. The investigation found that Iowa had been operating with severe deficiencies in safety and training procedures, for which Moosally was disciplined. The Navy stated that the deficiencies were unrelated to the turret explosion. In December 1989 in testimony before the United States Senate Armed Services Committee, Moosally declined to fully support the Navy's conclusion that the explosion had been intentionally caused by Clayton Hartwig, one of the turret's crewmen.<mask>'s testimony was widely reported in the media. <mask> retired from the Navy soon after in May 1990. In 1999, <mask> began working for Lockheed Martin. In 2002 he was appointed president of the company's MS2 division. In this capacity, <mask> has helped lead Lockheed Martin's involvement in the  and Integrated Deepwater System programs. Moosally led MS2 from a $1B organization to a $4B+ organization when he retired in January 2010. <mask> was succeeded by Orlando Carvahlo, former General Manager and Vice President of the Lockheed Martin MS2 Moorestown, New Jersey site.It was announced on 12 February 2010 that <mask> was hired as president and chief executive officer of Fincantieri Marine Group

<mask>, born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, was one of six children in a family of three sons and three daughters. His father was an insurance salesman and the family attended the local Syriac Maronite Church. At Ursuline High School, according to Charles Thompson, <mask> played American football. A defensive tackle, he was selected as a second-string member of the all-city squad. <mask> also lifted weights, ran track, and played summer baseball. He graduated high school in 1962 and was recruited by Penn State and the University of Pittsburgh to play football.He instead decided to attend the United States Naval Academy after speaking with the academy's football coach, Bill Elias. Moosally played defensive tackle on the academy's football team. In 1964 he and the team played in the Cotton Bowl Classic. One of <mask>'s teammates in the game was Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach. In 1965 <mask> was awarded the Annapolis Touchdown Club's Silver Helmet trophy as the team's Most Valuable Player and was selected to play in the Blue–Gray Football Classic. Moosally graduated in 1966 with a class ranking of 812 out of 868. His classmates nicknamed him "Moose" because of his physical presence and his "slap-on-the-back" personality.Naval career
<mask>'s first tour after commissioning as an ensign was on the destroyer  in which he spent some time off the coast of Vietnam. He attended destroyer department head school at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island and was assigned to the destroyer . In 1971, <mask> returned to the Naval Academy, where he worked in the

The ship's captain was (then) Lieutenant Commander William J. "Bud" Flanagan who would later become a four-star admiral and commander of the Navy's Atlantic Fleet.After the Bronstein Moosally was assigned to Washington, D.C. in the Navy's Bureau of Naval Personnel, where he worked for Vice Admiral Joseph Metcalf, III. He was subsequently assigned to the destroyer  as executive officer. After Mahan, <mask> was promoted to commander, and was assigned to work for the Navy's Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) office as a surface-warfare program coordinator. Two years later, he became administrative assistant and aide to the CNO, Thomas B. Hayward. By this time, <mask> was considered to be very well-connected politically with many of the Navy's top admirals, mainly because of tours on the staffs of Metcalf and Hayward. In 1985, Moosally began a tour as commander of the destroyer . Metcalf later said he thought Moosally did "a terrific job" as skipper of Kidd.After Kidd, Moosally worked in the Navy's Office of Legislative Affairs. His supervisor was an Academy football teammate, Rear Admiral Thomas Lynch. In this position, Moosally was successful in helping lobby for congressional approval and funding for two new aircraft carriers, two frigates, and a nuclear-powered cruiser for the Navy. Jim Hickey, a congressional aide at the time, said of Moosally, "He's intelligent, politically savvy and well respected not only by the people in the liaison office but by the Navy

 folks as well." Moosally then requested the command of one of the newly reactivated s. His request was supported by Metcalf, (then) Rear Admiral "Bud" Flanagan, Rear Admiral Richard Milligan (the Navy battle group commander in Charleston, South Carolina), and (then) Rear Admiral Jeremy Michael Boorda. The CNO at that time, Admiral Carlisle Trost, apparently agreed, and the request was granted; Moosally was assigned to command . USS Iowa

Takes command
On May 23, 1988, <mask> took command of Iowa at Norfolk, Virginia.Reportedly, Moosally favored Iowas missile and engineering systems and deemphasized 16-inch gunnery. A week after taking command, Moosally and his executive officer, Mike Fahey, canceled a planned one million dollar repair package for Iowas main gun batteries, including repairs to the main gun turrets' lighting, electrical, powder hoists, and hydraulic systems; seventy-five detailed deficiencies in all. Instead, the funds were spent on overhauling the ship's powerplant. After completion of the overhaul Moosally took Iowa on a shakedown cruise around Chesapeake Bay on August 25, 1988. Encountering difficulty in conning the ship through shallow water, Iowa, with <mask> at the helm, narrowly missed colliding with the , , and  before, Thompson claims, running aground in soft mud outside the bay's main ship channel near the Thimble Shoals. After one hour, Iowa was able to extricate herself without damage and return to port. Although other US Navy vessels observed Iowa grounded in the mud, the incident apparently was not acted upon by Moosally's superiors.Throughout August and September, Iowa continued with sea trials, then began

According to standard procedure, the misfire in Turret One should have been resolved first before proceeding with the exercise. At 09:53, about 81 seconds after Moosally's order to load and 20 seconds after the right gun had reported loaded and ready, Turret Two's center gun exploded. A fireball between  and  and traveling at  per second with a pressure of 4000 lb per square inch (281 kg per square cm) blew out from the center gun's open breech.The fireball spread through all three gun rooms and through much of the lower levels of the turret. All 47 crewmen inside the turret were killed. The turret contained most of the force of the explosion. Turret Two's sprinkler system was designed to be manually enabled in the event of fire. Due to the speed of the explosion and lack of time to respond, the sprinkler system was not engaged during the explosion. Firefighting crews quickly responded and sprayed the roof of the turret and the left and right gun barrels, which were still fully loaded with both gunpowder and projectiles, with water. On Kissinger's recommendation, Moosally ordered Turret Two's magazines, annular spaces, and powder flats flooded with 16 tons (14,000 kg) of seawater, preventing the remaining powder from exploding and likely saving the ship.The turret fire was extinguished in about 90 minutes. After the fire was extinguished, <mask> directed his crew to remove the bodies and to clean up the turret. No attempt was made to photograph or record the locations of the bodies or of damaged equipment in the turret. As a

 result, important evidence which could have assisted with the subsequent investigation into the cause of the explosion was lost. Iowa returned on April 23 to Norfolk, where a memorial service was held on April 24. Several thousand people, including family members of many of the victims, attended the ceremony at which President George H. W. Bush spoke. <mask> also spoke at the ceremony, saying, "I remember Turret 2.They were the life, the spirit and the soul of our ship. We came together in times of trouble. We shared the good and the bad, the comedy and now the tragedy. But we must go on, the crew of the Iowa." Investigation, deployment, and disciplinary action
Milligan was placed in charge of the investigation into the explosion by Vice Admiral Joseph S. Donnell, commander of Surface Forces Atlantic. As part of his investigation, Milligan interviewed <mask> on May 1 and May 10, 1989. In his testimony to Milligan, <mask> criticized Iowas crew, stating that the Navy had sent him enlisted men of "inferior quality" and that many of Iowas sailors were "dopers, marginal performers, constant UAs [unauthorized absences]".<mask> added that if he had kicked out every sailor in his crew who was a troublemaker, had legal difficulties, or was incapable of doing his job, "I don't think I'd have many guys left." According to Thompson, Iowas Turret Two was trained forward after the explosion to its stowed position and superficial repairs were conducted. All the related repair pieces were stored inside the turret and the turret was sealed shut. The turret was never put back into operation. In June 1989, Iowa, under <mask>'s command, departed for a training

On August 2, Iowa, in a shipyard at Marseilles, was ordered to join a force of US warships off the coast of Lebanon in response to threats by Shiite Muslim kidnappers to kill American hostages and threats to the US embassy by Maronite Christian demonstrators loyal to Michel Aoun. The ship remained off Lebanon until the crisis cooled a little over a week later, then departed for Italy.Milligan's investigation, completed in July, concluded that the explosion was caused intentionally by a Turret Two crewman named Clayton Hartwig who Milligan believed was suicidal and homicidal. Milligan also found that, under <mask>, Iowa was operating with severe training and safety deficiencies. The finding that the explosion was intentionally caused by Hartwig was heavily criticized by the victims' families, the media, and members of Congress. Most of Iowas crewmen also did not believe that Hartwig was responsible for the explosion. On October 3, 1989 Donnell flew to the Mediterranean to discipline Iowas officers in response to findings in Milligan's report. Milligan had recommended that <mask> be relieved of command, but Donnell had decided on a lesser punishment. <mask> and Bob Finney, Iowas operations officer, were given non-punitive "letters of admonition" which were not placed in their permanent personnel records.Donnell stated that <mask>'s "poor adherence to explosive safety regulations and ordnance safety" and "his failure of leadership" were a "marked departure from an otherwise outstanding performance". Shortly thereafter, the Navy issued a statement explaining that the safety

 violations and training deficiencies found aboard Iowa during the investigation were unrelated to the explosion. Two weeks later, a panel of 13 Navy admirals recommended that <mask> be given another major command, stating that <mask> was "superbly fit" for such responsibility. Milligan was one of the admirals on the panel who supported the recommendation. After Thompson asked Rear Admiral Brent Baker, the Navy's Chief of Naval Information, and Chief of Naval Personnel Jeremy Michael Boorda about the recommendation, Moosally's name, according to Thompson, was withdrawn. On October 8, the Navy Times newspaper published a story titled "Iowa CO Rips Quality of Officers, Crew" which detailed <mask>'s testimony to Milligan in which Moosally had disparaged his crew. Thompson claims that many of Iowas sailors were enraged by <mask>'s remarks, with a few reportedly threatening <mask>'s life.Iowa returned to Norfolk on December 7. At a press conference the same day, according to Thompson, <mask> explained that his comments criticizing his crew had been taken out of context by the news media. Senate testimony and retirement
<mask> was scheduled to testify on December 11 before the United States Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), which was investigating the Navy's findings about the explosion. The weekend before his appearance in front of the committee, <mask> prepared his remarks at his home in Oakton, Virginia. Rumors were spreading throughout the top ranks of the Navy that <mask> was angry about Milligan's investigation and was contemplating attacking the Navy's findings before the SASC. In response, several Navy admirals, including Bud Flanagan

Said Gordon of his visit, "I went over to <mask>'s home the night before his testimony to tell him to cool it, to watch it.I told him I thought he would still make admiral, no matter what had happened to the Iowa." Appearing before the SASC on December 11, <mask> denied that Iowa had carried out illegal or unauthorized gunfire experiments. He added that his disparaging remarks about the quality of his crew had been misunderstood. Senator Sam Nunn asked Moosally if he agreed with the Navy's conclusion that Hartwig had "most probably" caused the explosion. In a response that was widely reported in the media, <mask> answered, "I would not come out and say that. I would not make an unqualified statement that Petty Officer Hartwig is the guy who committed the wrongful act. I do not think I can do that."Reportedly as a result of his refusal to fully support the Navy's position, <mask>'s Navy career was over. A request for his retirement, whether made by <mask> or someone else is unclear, was approved a few days later. The Navy later reopened its investigation and eventually concluded that it could not determine who or what had caused the tragedy. An independent review of the Navy's investigation by Sandia National Laboratories concluded that the explosion had probably been caused by an overram of the powder bags into the center gun's breech, possibly because of a malfunction in the rammer mechanism or because the gun

 crew was inadequately trained. Captain <mask> retired from the Navy at that rank in May 1990. At his change of command ceremony on Iowa on May 4, 1990, <mask> criticized the Navy for mismanaging the investigation into the turret explosion, saying that the investigators were "people who, in their rush to manage the Iowa problem, forgot about doing the right thing for the Iowa crew". During the ceremony, <mask> was awarded the Legion of Merit by Rear Admiral George Gee for his service as commander of Iowa.Soon after, <mask> went to work for an unnamed defense contractor in the Washington, D.C. area. On April 19, 1994, Moosally and other former Iowa crewmen attended the dedication of a memorial plaque at Norfolk Naval Station to the 47 sailors killed in the explosion. Moosally was shunned or ignored by many of the former crewmen present, who were still angry over his disparaging comments about them during the investigation. A Glimpse of Hell

In 1999, Charles Thompson published a book titled [[A Glimpse of Hell (book)|A Glimpse of Hell: The Explosion on the USS Iowa and Its Cover-Up]] which documented Thompson's investigation into the explosion and its aftermath. The book was extremely critical of Moosally, depicting him as an inept officer who gained command of the battleship through political connections. "Deadly Blast Haunts Battleship's Skipper", Thompson, "Cover-up aboard the USS Iowa", Blue, "Framed at Sea". In 2001, the [[FX (TV network)|FX]] TV network broadcast a movie A Glimpse of Hell based on Thompson's book, starring James Caan in the role of Moosally.Lawsuit

 involved in the investigation into the explosion filed suit against Glimpse of Hell author Thompson, his publisher, W.W. Norton, and Dan Meyer, who the plaintiffs stated provided much of the information used in the book, for libel, false light privacy, and conspiracy. In response to the suit, Thompson stated that he stood "foursquare" behind his book's content. In April 2004 the South Carolina Supreme Court dismissed the suits against Thompson and Meyer for of lack of personal jurisdiction against both individuals, but allowed the suit against W. W. Norton to proceed. In February 2007 the suit was settled out-of-court for undisclosed terms. Stephen F. DeAntonio, Moosally's attorney, said that his client felt "totally vindicated". W. W. Norton did not publicly retract or repudiate any of the material in Thompson's book, however, instead sending a letter to <mask> and the other plaintiffs stating, in part, "'To the extent you believe the book implies that any of you were engaged in a cover-up, were incompetent, committed criminal acts, violated Naval regulations or exhibited faulty seamanship or professional ineptitude, Norton regrets the emotional distress experienced by you or your family."

A subsequent United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general report confirmed that some of DeKort's allegations were valid, including that in at least one instance, "The contractor [Lockheed Martin] knowingly installed in the (boats) equipment that did not meet specific environmental requirements outlined in the Deepwater contract." As a result of this and other issues with the program, in April 2007 the USCG announced that it was curtailing ICGS's role as active manager of the Deepwater contract. On May 17, 2007, <mask> testified before the United States House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border, Maritime and Global Counterterrorism concerning the DHS' report's findings. Moosally stated that Lockheed had either met the contracted requirements or had immediately notified the USCG when issues arose.He added that any other discrepancies were minor and did not affect the safety, reliability, or effectiveness of the systems in question. DeKort criticized <mask>'s testimony, calling it "not correct" in that it had misrepresented the true nature of the issues. In a letter to Representatives Loretta Sanchez and Chris Carney, DeKort stated that in 2004 when he asked to talk to <mask> to explain his concerns about issues with MS2's work on the systems, Moosally had refused to meet with him.

After attending South River High School, she became the first in her family to attend college when she enrolled at Douglass College, part of Rutgers University, to study art.When <mask> had children, she chose to become a housewife like her mother. In her thirties, she began writing novels. To learn the art of writing dialog, <mask> took lessons in improv acting. For ten years, she attempted to write the Great American Novel, finishing three manuscripts that she was unable to sell. After someone suggested she try writing romance novels, <mask> read several romances and discovered that she enjoyed the genre. She wrote two romances and submitted them for publishing. Still unable to find a publisher, <mask> stopped writing and signed with a temporary employment agency.Several months after beginning work for them, she received an offer to buy her second romance manuscript for $2,000, which she considered an "astounding sum."

For the next five years she continued to write category romances for Loveswept. Her work within the romance novel genre helped her learn to create likable characters and attractive leading men. In this time, <mask> also became known for the humor that filled her novels. She believes that "it's very important to take a comic approach.If we can laugh at something, we can face it." After finishing her twelfth romance, however, <mask> realized that she was more interested in writing the action sequences in her novels than the sex scenes. Her editors were not interested in her change of heart, so <mask> took the next eighteen months to formulate a plan for what she actually wanted to write. Stephanie Plum Series
She quickly decided that she wanted to write romantic adventure novels. She wanted to include humor, romance and adventure in her work and this fit into her style of mystery novel. Unlike the style of romance novels, her books would be told in first person narrative. Her new type of writing should contain heroes and heroines, as well as "a sense of family and community."In that vein, she intended her new style of writing to be based on the TV sitcom model. Like Seinfeld, her new books would have a central character that the rest of the cast of characters revolve around. Inspired by the Robert De Niro movie Midnight Run, <mask> decided that her heroine would be a bounty hunter. This occupation provided more freedom for <mask> as a writer, as bounty hunters do not have a set work schedule and are not forced to wear a uniform. The profession is also "romanticised to some extent." To become acquainted with the demands of the career,

One for the Money was named a New York Times notable book, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 1994 and a USA Today Best Bet. <mask> has continued to write romantic adventures starring Stephanie Plum. The sixth book in the series, Hot Six, was the first of her novels to reach number one on the New York Times Best Seller List. Her subsequent Plum novels have each debuted at number one. All About Romance has described her as the "rare breed of romance author who has left the genre and yet not alienated her many romance fans."The Plum novels have taken many attributes from <mask>'s own life. <mask> shares many commonalities with her character Stephanie Plum. Both are from New Jersey, both devour Cheetos, both had owned a hamster, and both have shared "similar embarrassing experiences."

Shortly before One for the Money was released, <mask> sold the movie rights to Columbia TriStar for $1 million. Lions Gate Entertainment released One for the Money on January 27, 2012.The film stars Katherine Heigl as Stephanie Plum, Sherri Shepherd from The View as Lula, Debbie Reynolds as Grandma Mazur, Jason O'Mara as Joe Morelli, and Daniel Sunjata as Ranger.

<mask> is an artist, writer and publisher based in Zurich, Switzerland and Los Angeles, California. Keel achieved critical and popular acclaim after the best-selling All About Me, a book series with over three million copies in print. Central to his work are caricature, the beauty of details, light, and the complexity of the human mind. Noted for pioneering the Imbue Print technique, Keel received recognition in the art world with a solo show at Art Basel in 2001. Two years later, Steidl Publishing released Color, the most comprehensive collection of his editions. Keel draws inspiration from Keith Jarrett's The Köln Concert, palm trees, the short stories of Carson McCullers, David Hockney's Paper Pools, rabbits, and Coca-Cola in the classic 237 ml glass bottle. Early years

<mask> was born and grew up in Zurich, Switzerland.His father is <mask>, founder of Diogenes Verlag, and his mother, <mask>, is a painter and sculptor. Frequent guests in the Keel household included Patricia Highsmith, Maurice Sendak and Federico Fellini, whom <mask> delighted in watching direct movies at Cinecittà in Rome. At age nine, while in the hospital recovering from a near-fatal car accident, Keel decided he would become an artist and film director. The younger of two sons, Keel, though lively and curious at home, was shy and inattentive at school. As early as kindergarten, he found himself more captivated with toys and books than with games or lessons. Diane Arbus’ photographs featured frequently in his imagination. When Keel was fourteen years old, he literally escaped from boarding school in Gruyère and used his birthday money to take a train to Paris.It was during this sojourn that he discovered a passion for photographing people and mysterious

During this period, <mask>'s paintings and photography were exhibited in established galleries and museums throughout Europe and the United States. Speaking in an interview about his greatest influences he said, "As strange as it might seem, most of my inspiration comes from Los Angeles. You may find its irony, sadness, its absurd beauty and childish naïveté in my entire body of work. Here is where I think I will always create something new again and force myself to overcome the fear of trying something that I would be afraid of exploring in other hemispheres.”

It was only after relocating to California that Keel started photographing in color, and that he discovered painting and printmaking. He collaborated with Don Weinstein, a printer who has worked with artists like Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, and Helmut Newton, and who invited him to experiment with archival inks.A solo show at the Galerie zur Stockeregg marked <mask> as the first artist to exhibit large-scale Imbue Prints. In a move toward closure with a chapter of his career, <mask> undertook the task of editing and cataloging his entire black-and-white photography archives. The result was his first art publication, Look at Me. His next art book, Color, was released three years later, followed by AISA – Images from an Imaginary Continent in 2005. His most recent publication, <mask>'s Simple Diary, "challenges the constant barrage

 of information, the struggle of needing to do more while having time for less, and the wonderful demands of modern life." The books provide amusing and philosophical insights into the world and the human mind, prompting the reader to contribute their own thoughts. Simple Diary is Taschen's first publication primarily filled with text.Keel rejects what he refers to as "cynicism in the contemporary art world" and has reservations about work that is overly political. "When style and light meet, there is art. Art doesn't need to be invented, art is what has already been set up. It is not an artist's responsibility to capture what is there, it should be an artist's challenge to exaggerate or diminish what already exists." References

title: Ferenc Gyurcsány

texts: <mask> (; born 4 June 1961) is a Hungarian entrepreneur and politician who served as Prime Minister of Hungary from 2004 to 2009. Prior to that, he held the position of Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports between 2003 and 2004. He was nominated as Prime Minister by the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) on 25 August 2004, after Péter Medgyessy resigned due to a conflict with the Socialist Party's coalition partner. <mask> was elected Prime Minister on 29 September 2004 in a parliamentary vote (197 yes votes, 12 no votes, with most of the opposition in Parliament not voting). He led his coalition to victory in the 2006 parliamentary election, securing another term as Prime Minister. His legitimacy was permanently questioned by opposition parties based on his withholding of information about the actual budget deficit in his 2006 re-election campaign. He was also criticised for using derogatory terms for his own country in his speech in Balatonőszöd.After that speech became public, demonstrations started on the streets of Budapest where many people were injured, both demonstrators and policemen. On 24 February 2007, he was elected as the leader of the MSZP, taking 89% of the vote. On 21 March 2009, <mask> announced his intention to resign as Prime Minister. He stated that he was a hindrance to further economic and social reforms. President László Sólyom stated that instead of a short-term transactional government ruling only until the 2010 elections, early elections should be held. On 28 March 2009 <mask> resigned from his position as party chairman. A minister under Gyurcsány, Gordon Bajnai, became the nominee of MSZP for the post of Prime Minister in March 2009 and he

 became Prime Minister on 14 April.In October 2011, <mask> and other party members quit the MSZP to establish the Democratic Coalition (DK) under his leadership. Early years
<mask> was born in Pápa, Hungary, into an impoverished middle-class family as the only son of <mask> Gyurcsány Sr. and Katalin Varga. He has an elder sister, Éva. According to contemporary police documents, <mask>'s father was convicted on charges of minor crimes (low value thefts and fraud) multiple times. Due to his father's alcoholism, Gyurcsány spent his childhood in poor conditions, though his mother's thrifty family management provided orderly and healthy living standards. Gyurcsány attended Apáczai Csere János High School in Budapest for two years; he then returned to Pápa and continued his studies there, at a local grammar school. In 1979, he was admitted to the University of Pécs, where he studied as a teacher and obtained his B.Sc.in 1984, then he studied economics at the same institution, getting his university degree in 1990. In 1981, he assumed function in the KISZ, the Organisation of Young Communists, where he mostly handled organizing student programs at the beginning. Between 1984 and 1988, he was the vice president of the organisation's committee in Pécs. Then between 1988 and 1989, he was the president of the central KISZ committee of universities and colleges. After the political change in 1989, he became vice-president of the organisation's short-lived quasi successor, the Hungarian Democratic Youth Association (DEMISZ). From 1990 onwards, he transferred from the public to the private sector, working for CREDITUM Financial Consultant Ltd. until 1992, serving as director of

<mask> returned to politics in 2002 as the head strategic advisor of Péter Medgyessy, the previous Prime Minister of Hungary. From May 2003 until September 2004 Gyurcsány was a minister responsible for sports, youth and children. He became the president of the MSZP in Győr-Moson-Sopron county in January 2004, serving until September 2004. In the summer of that same year it seemed that there were larger problems in his relationship with Prime Minister Péter Medgyessy, so he resigned as minister. In a week, problems in the coalition led to the resignation of Medgyessy, and MSZP voted Gyurcsány to become Prime Minister as he was acceptable for the coalition partner, Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ). Prime Minister
<mask> was reappointed as prime minister after the 2006 parliamentary elections, with his coalition taking 210 of the available 386 parliamentary seats, and making him the first Hungarian prime minister to keep the office after a general election since 1990.On 24 February 2007, he also became the leader of his party (being the only candidate for the post), gaining 89% of the votes. However, soon after the election victory serious financial problems arose. His government was forced to implement austerity measures to somehow manage the budget deficit, which was much higher than expected and had grown to an almost 10% of the GDP by the end of 2006. These measures were heavily criticized by
