After one season with the Wexford minor team, <mask> first enjoyed success as the goalkeeper on the inaugural Wexford under-21 team.He won his first Leinster medal in 1964 as Laois were defeated by 4-7 to 2-2. On 4 October 1964 Wexford faced Tipperary in the All-Ireland final. A tally of 2-2 for Babs Keating helped Tipperary to an easy 8-9 to 3-1 victory. Wexford retained the provincial under-21 title in 1965 with <mask> winning a second Leinster medal. The subsequent All-Ireland final was a repeat of the previous year with Tipperary providing the opposition once again. A 3-7 to 1-4 victory gave <mask> an All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship medal. Wexford retained their provincial crown in 1966, with <mask> collecting a third Leinster medal following a 7–10 to 2–8 demolition of Laois.The subsequent All-Ireland decider saw Cork providing the opposition. After a high-scoring hour of hurling Wexford scored 5–6 to Cork's 3–12 resulting in a draw. The replay was also a close affair with the sides finishing level again at 4–9 apiece. A third game produced the eventual winner as Wexford were defeated by 9–9 to 5–9. Senior

Wexford subsequently faced Cork in the All-Ireland decider on 6 September 1970 and <mask> was back on the starting fifteen. A record 64-point scoreline and eleven goals were produced in a sometimes ill-tempered and disappointing contest. Tony Doran top scored for Wexford with two goals, however, the day belonged to Eddie O'Brien who scored a hat-trick of goals for Cork from his hand. A remarkable 6–21 to 5–10 score line gave Cork the victory. In 1972 <mask> became Wexford's first All-Star recipient when his performances earned him the award. <mask> won a National Hurling League medal in 1973 following a 4–13 to 3–7 defeat of Limerick.After a five-year period of Kilkenny dominance, Wexford broke through in 1976. A 2–20 to 1–6 trouncing gave <mask> a third Leinster medal. It was his first won on the field of play. Cork provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland final on 5 September 1976. Wexford got off to a great start and were 2–2 to no score ahead after just six minutes. Wexford had a two-point lead with ten minutes to go, however, three points from Jimmy Barry-Murphy, two from Pat Moylan and a kicked effort from Ray Cummins gave Cork a 2–21 to 4–11 victory. In spite of this defeat <mask> was later presented with a second All-Star award.<mask> collected his fourth Leinster medal in 1977 following a 3–17 to 3–14 defeat of Kilkenny. The

 All-Ireland final on 4 September 1977 was a repeat of the previous year, with Cork providing the opposition once again. Seánie O'Leary score the decisive goal for Cork as the game entered the last quarter, while Martin Coleman brought off a match-winning save from Christy Keogh to foil the Wexford comeback. A 1–17 to 3–8 defeat was <mask>'s lot as he endured a second successive year as an All-Ireland runner-up. He later collected a third All-Star. Wexford went into decline following this defeat as Kilkenny and Offaly emerged as the dominant teams in Leinster. <mask> played his last game for Wexford in a 1–15 to 2–11 Leinster decider defeat by Offaly on 8 July 1984.He retired from inter-county hurling later that year when he sustained a serious eye injury in a practice match with his club.

<mask> (June 5, 1874 – November 6, 1931) was an American professional baseball pitcher. Nicknamed "<mask>", <mask> played for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1899–1902), the New York Highlanders (1903–1909), and the Boston Red Sox (1909) of Major League Baseball (MLB). <mask> finished his career with a 198–132 win-loss record, a 2.68 earned run average, and 1,265 strikeouts. His 41 wins during the 1904 season remains an American League record. Though some pitchers have won more games in some seasons prior to 1901, historians demarcating 1901 as the beginning of 'modern-era' major league baseball refer to and credit <mask> and his 1904 win-total as the modern era major league record and its holder. Some view <mask>'s 41 wins in a season as an unbreakable record. <mask>'s 1904 pitching totals of 51 games started and 48 complete games also fall into the same historical category as his 1904 wins total, as they are all-time American League single-season records.These 1904 single-season totals for games started and complete games, like the wins total, are also the most recorded by a pitcher in either the American or National League since the beginning of the 20th century and the co-existence of the American and National Leagues as major leagues. If one demarcates 1901 as the beginning of major league baseball's modern era, <mask> holds the modern era major league historical single-season records for wins by a pitcher (41), games started by a pitcher (51), and complete games pitched (48). <mask> was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946 by the Veterans Committee, though he had received little consideration from the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). Some baseball historians consider the 1946 election a mistake, and believe that <mask> was elected solely on the basis of his 1904 season. Early life

 Massachusetts. He was the fourth of five children of Chad Brown Chesebrough, a shoemaker, and Martha Jane Fralensburgh. In 1892, <mask> began playing for a sandlot ball team in Houghtonville.He worked in 1894 as an attendant at the Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital in Middletown, New York in order to play for the Asylums, the team representing the mental hospital. There, an inmate gave <mask> the nickname "<mask>", due to his pleasant demeanor. Professional career

Minor leagues (1895–1899)
<mask> began his professional career in minor league baseball in 1895. That year, he pitched for the Albany Senators of the New York State League until they folded, at which point he joined the Johnstown Buckskins. When the league disbanded during the season, he joined the Springfield Maroons of the Eastern League. In 1896, <mask> pitched for the Roanoke Magicians of the Virginia League, until it disbanded. He pitched the remainder of the 1896 season in Cooperstown, New York for the Cooperstown Athletics.There, the local newspaper shortened his last name to "<mask>" so that it would fit in the box score. <mask> pitched for the Richmond Bluebirds of the Atlantic League from 1897 through 1899. After the 1898 season, he was drafted by Ned Hanlon of the Baltimore Orioles. However, Hanlon took a job with the Brooklyn Superbas and the Orioles were nearly contracted, resulting in <mask> not signing with Baltimore, as Hanlon allowed the option to lapse. He returned to Richmond for the 1899 season. Major League Baseball (1899–1909)
<mask> was sold by Richmond to the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 7, 1899, for $1,500 ($ in current dollar terms). He made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut with the Pirates on July 12, 1899.He recorded a 6–9 win–loss record for the 1899 Pirates. After the season, on December 8, 1899, <mask> was traded with George Fox, Art Madison, John O'Brien, and $25,000 ($ in current dollar terms) to

The Louisville club dissolved that offseason, and <mask>, Fox, Madison and O'Brien were assigned to Pittsburgh in March as the National League (NL) reduced from 12 to eight teams. After going 15–13 for the 1900 Pirates, <mask> won 21 games for the 1901 Pirates, while leading the NL with six shutouts. He went 28–6 with a 2.17 earned run average (ERA) for the 1902 Pirates, leading the NL in wins and shutouts. The Pirates won the National League pennant in 1901 and 1902. At the end of the 1902 season, the upstart American League (AL) began to entice NL stars to join their league by offering competitive salaries.<mask> agreed to sign with a new AL franchise, the New York Highlanders (presently known as the New York Yankees), for the 1903 season, for a $1,000 bonus ($ in current dollar terms) to join the AL. The news broke when Jesse Tannehill, who also agreed to join the Highlanders, told Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss about the planned defection while under the influence of pain medication. When he refused to participate in a postseason series, Dreyfuss released <mask> from the Pirates. <mask> pitched the Highlanders' first game. He finished the 1903 season with a 21–15 record. <mask> began throwing a spitball in the 1904 season, which he learned from Elmer Stricklett, the inventor of the spitball. <mask> also began working on a "slow ball".That year, he started 51 games and finished 48 while posting a 1.82 ERA, striking out 239 batters, and recording 41 wins and 48 complete games over  innings pitched, setting MLB records for wins, complete games, and innings pitched in a season. That year, no other pitcher in the league won more than 26. <mask> won 14 straight games from May 14 through July 4, a New

texts: York franchise record that stood until Roger Clemens broke it in 2001. His 239 strikeouts remained a team record until Ron Guidry struck out 248 in 1978. On the last day of the season, in a game against the Boston Americans (now known as the Boston Red Sox), he threw a wild pitch in the top of the ninth inning, allowing the winning run to score from third base and causing the Highlanders to lose the pennant to Boston. The ruling on this play was controversial. Even after <mask>'s death in 1931, his widow, with the support of former Highlanders manager Clark Griffith, continued to claim that the pitch was a passed ball, and blamed the winning run on catcher Red Kleinow.Before the 1905 season, <mask> announced that he had created a pitch he called the "jump ball". He struggled in the 1905 season, registering a 19–15 record. During the 1905 season, <mask> was involved in the first squeeze play in baseball. At third base, <mask> mistakenly thought he had received a steal sign from manager Clark Griffith, while Willie Keeler bunted for a hit. As <mask> scored, Griffith made a note of the play and taught it in spring training the following season. Many baseball observers expected <mask> to return to form in 1906. That season, <mask> registered a 23–17 record while leading the AL in earned runs allowed.He was removed from his starts 16 times, the most in the AL. <mask> announced he would work on keeping his weight down prior to the 1907 season, but announced his intentions to retire in February 1907. In March 1907, he announced he would return, but not at a pay cut. He signed a new contract two weeks into the 1907 season, in which he went 10–10. After the 1907 season, <mask> announced that he was giving up the experimental spitball, intending to return to the "old style of pitching" in 1908. He finished the 1908 season with a 14–20 record. Prior to the 1909 season, <mask> was assigned to the

 Indianapolis Indians of the American Association, a minor league affiliate of the Highlanders.However, <mask> threatened to retire if transferred there, and did not report to the Highlanders at first. <mask> made nine appearances for the Highlanders in 1909, before he was waived and claimed by the Boston Red Sox in September 1909. <mask> pitched one game for the Red Sox, the season finale against the Yankees. The Red Sox returned <mask> to the Highlanders prior to the 1910 season, but he was placed on the ineligible list after he refused to report to the minor leagues. Post-MLB career
<mask> returned to Massachusetts during the 1910 season, where he worked on a farm in Conway, Massachusetts, that he purchased a decade prior. He pitched for a semi-professional baseball team in Whitinsville, Massachusetts, leading them to a championship. <mask> coached for Massachusetts Agricultural College (presently known as the University of Massachusetts Amherst) in 1911 and continued to pitch for semipro clubs in Massachusetts.<mask> met with Highlanders owner Frank J. Farrell and new manager Harry Wolverton in February 1912 about attempting a comeback. Wolverton agreed to give <mask> a chance at pitching for the Highlanders. However, before leaving for camp he reconsidered and released <mask>. <mask>'s request for reinstatement as a free agent was granted in March, while the Highlanders granted him his unconditional release. <mask> decided to travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where teams participated in spring training, in an attempt to find a team willing to give him a chance at a comeback. He worked out with Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, but both teams passed on him. <mask> appeared in an old-timers game at Braves Field, sponsored by The Boston Post to benefit Boston Children's Hospital, on September 11, 1922.He served as a Washington Senators coach in 1924, which were managed by his former Highlanders manager,

 Clark Griffith. However, he and Ben Egan were let go when the Senators hired Al Schacht on June 1. In 1927, he managed a minor league team in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, pitching for the team on occasion. Legacy

<mask> was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946 by the Veterans Committee, which considers individuals who are eligible for the Hall of Fame, but no longer eligible to be elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). That year, the Veterans Committee elected eleven players: <mask>, Jesse Burkett, Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, Clark Griffith, Tommy McCarthy, Joe McGinnity, Eddie Plank, Joe Tinker, Rube Waddell, and Ed Walsh. During years where <mask> was eligible on the BBWAA ballot, <mask> received zero votes in the 1936 balloting, one vote in the 1937 balloting, two votes in the 1938 balloting, and six votes in the 1939 balloting, zero votes in the 1942 balloting, and zero votes in the 1945 balloting. Chesbro's 1904 record for games won in a season (41 wins) has stood for over a century—one of the oldest major records in baseball, or in any other sport.Under current playing practices, his record is unbreakable. <mask> started 51 games that season (plus 4 relief appearances) and pitched 48 complete games, for a record of 41–12. Today, it is uncommon for a pitcher to start even 35 games in a season and complete games are a rarity. The only other 40-win season since 1900 was 40 by Ed Walsh in 1908, and only three other pitchers in the modern era have won as many as 35--Christy Mathewson (37 in 1908), Walter Johnson (36 in 1913) and Joe McGinnity (35 in 1904). The last pitcher to win as many as 30 games was Denny McLain in 1968. The pitcher's mound was lowered to its current height of 10 inches in 1969, and since then no pitcher has won more than 27 games in a season. Tinker considered <mask> one of the six toughest pitchers he faced in MLB.Dan

 Holmes, who runs the Hall of Fame's website, called <mask> "one of the best pitchers in the game at that time." However, <mask>'s induction is considered dubious, as his overall career was overshadowed by his 1904 season. Baseball historian Bill James considers <mask> to be undeserving of induction to the Hall of Fame. In particular, James compared <mask>'s statistics to those of former Pittsburgh Pirate teammates Deacon Phillippe (189–109, 2.59), Sam Leever (194–100, 2.47), and Jesse Tannehill (197–117, 2.80), none of whom are in the Hall of Fame. In his book The Politics of Glory, James charged that the induction of undeserving players created a "second tier" in the Hall of Fame. James claimed that <mask> was inducted into the Hall of Fame solely on the basis of his 1904 season, even though other pitchers who did not make the Hall of Fame have similar career statistics. Personal life
Chesbro married Mabel Suttleworth of Conway, Massachusetts, in 1896.After his retirement, <mask> farmed and raised poultry in Conway, where he died on November 6, 1931, of a myocardial infarction; he was buried at Howland Cemetery in Conway. Mabel died in 1940. See also

The marriage broke up in 1994 and Daisy later married <mask>, a German citizen, whose surname Manohara adopted. Daisy fled France in 2007 with <mask> and another daughter Dewi after her adopted daughter, Saliha, made a police report against Daisy and <mask> alleging sexual harassment and physical abuse. Daisy was jailed 18 months in absentia while <mask> got four months. She is still a wanted women in France for  "submitting a vulnerable and dependent person to undignified working conditions and assault since 1998".Manohara gained widespread attention from the Indonesian media in mid April 2009 when her mother, Daisy Fajarina, alleged that Tengku Fakhry, Malaysian Kelantanese prince and <mask>'s husband, abducted Manohara. <mask> met Tengku Fakhry in December 2006 at a dinner held by the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia at time, Najib Razak. Despite some problems such as the absence of wali nikah (legal witness) and no legal letter from the Indonesian Embassy, Tengku Fakhry married 16-year-old <mask> in Malaysia on 26 August 2008. During her stay in Kelantan, <mask> was said to have endured physical and mental abuse from her husband. As a result, she surreptitiously returned to Indonesia via Singapore.

The issue gained greater attention when Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak dodged questions about the alleged abduction of <mask> by the Malaysian prince as he met Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Jakarta on 23 April 2009. The mother of the missing model held a press conference at the National Commission on Violence Against Women in Jakarta. She complained that Malaysian authorities had stopped her going to Malaysia to check on her daughter's condition. The circumstances have been compared to the case of Altantuya Shaariibu. The Indonesian government demanded the Malaysian government explain why an Indonesian woman was denied entry to see her daughter amid claims of abuse committed by her husband of Malaysian royalty.On Sunday, 31 May 2009 <mask> escaped Kelantan Sultan's authority in Singapore and returned to Indonesia with her mother. <mask> and Kelantan royal family were in Singapore to accompany Sultan of Kelantan as he sought medical treatment there. Daisy Fajarina was in Singapore to meet her daughter, and Manohara called her to tell her the name of hotel where she was staying. When Manohara tried to escape the hotel, Kelantan bodyguards attempted to stop her on the 3rd floor where the Sultan was staying. With assistance from the US Embassy, Manohara reached Changi Airport and finally succeeded in returning to Indonesia with her mother. At a TV press conference on 31 May 2009, Manohara confirmed her mother's allegations that her husband, Tengku Fakhry, had abused her both emotionally and physically. Manohara also stated that she would not return to Kelantan, also expressing her willingness to file for divorce from Tengku Fakhry.Women's rights activist Ratna Sarumpaet, who previously offered assistance to <mask>, withdrew the offer, citing <mask> and Daisy's lack of determination in pursuing the case.

 counsel, also withdrew from representing Manohara, citing difficulty in gathering evidence and cooperation. The case was then taken by lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea. Indonesia's Foreign Affairs Ministry offered to assist and prepared to file a report to Malaysian police on Manohara's behalf, provided she produced all necessary evidence. Indonesian police also advised Manohara to make a police report in Malaysia with the help of the Foreign Ministry. However, Manohara did not take up the offer, baffling the Indonesian authorities, who  began to suspect something was amiss.They also failed to have made public or given to the Malaysian lawyers a medical report, resulting in their lawyer, Fakrul, applying to discharge himself from the case. The case involved both <mask>'s biological father and stepfather when Daisy informed Indonesian media that <mask> was in Jakarta to lend support to Manohara over recent reports that Manz had sided with Prince Fakhry. <mask> also planned to take <mask> to Europe to further her education in arts and economics. <mask>'s biological father George Manz considered it a bad idea, as <mask> is accused of sexual harassment and was threatening to get the US State Department involved because then-17-year-old Manohara is a US citizen. Saliha returned to Indonesia after more than 10 years to bring her adoptive mother Daisy Fajarina to justice. Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda confirmed he had received a report from the Consulate-General in Marseilles, France, requesting the Indonesian government assist in getting Daisy to serve the sentence. In February 2020, Manohara stated in an Instagram story that she had already converted to Christianity, she claimed that she had been a Christian for many years and that it is not anybody's business as it is an extremely private matter between oneself and God.Legal case

It was deemed both intelligent and prudent for her not to attend. <mask> has challenged prince Fakhry to submit another lawsuit in her home state of Indonesia, where his connections and influence would not lead to such a biased outcome. In Malaysia courts, <mask> <mask> <mask> has been ordered to return to her husband Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan, Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Sultan Ismail Petra, and pay him the RM1.2mil she borrowed from him after failing to file defence nor attend her court case. If Manohara did not return to her husband, she is deemed to be derhaka (disloyal) and nyusyuz (recalcitrant) and therefore, did not deserve anything from her husband. The court could not accept the argument that the amount of RM1,112,250 was a gift from Tengku Muhammad Fakhry, based on the non-appearance in court of Manohara throughout the proceedings.Tengku Fakhry had always maintained that money was not the issue and that it was about his dignity and reputation. He said he was forced to initiate legal proceedings to clear his name as the allegations of physical and sexual abuse were baseless and meant to disparage him in the eyes of the members of the royalty, the government and the public. Her mother, Daisy Fajarina told that her family was prepared to face the consequences of ignoring the court order including Manohara losing her privileges as Cik Puan Temenggong Kelantan, nor will they pay back the so-called RM1 million debt. On 20 February 2010, Manohara again became a news item in Malaysia, with her picture kissing Amiel Mohede in the public, while her divorce is still pending. References

<mask> (7 January 1938 – 6 July 2021) was the first Prime Minister of Dominica as well as its last Premier. He led Dominica to independence from the United Kingdom. He was leader of the Waterfront and Allied Workers' Union and mayor of Roseau before being elected to the legislature in 1970. He became Premier in 1974 following the resignation of Edward Oliver LeBlanc. After mass protest forced him to resign, <mask> unsuccessfully attempted in 1981 to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Eugenia Charles with the backing of white supremacist groups (in what became dubbed "Operation Red Dog"). As a result, he was jailed for twelve years, of which he served five years. On 6 July 2021, <mask> died at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital in Roseau, Dominica, at the age of 83.Premiership (1974–1978)
After the resignation of Edward O. LeBlanc in 1974, <mask> succeeded him as Premier of Dominica. The Labour Party administration led by <mask> founded Dominica's National Commercial & Development Bank, and rid the capital city of Roseau of many shanty-type dwellings and replaced them with modern housing developments at Bath Estate and River Estate. <mask>'s government also opened a new deepwater harbour at Fond Cole and started the Dominica Social Security system. However, division grew in Dominica following the murder of a number of tourists in the mid-1970s and the emergence of a black power movement. <mask> introduced legislation so broadly drawn that it even regulated acceptable modes of dress. Later, he indicated that revolutionary groups would not be tolerated. His reign as Premier and Prime Minister was regarded as one of the most tumultuous periods in Dominica's history.He was responsible for the infamous Prohibited and Undesirable Societies Act or "Dread Act", which was passed in 1974 and was meant to combat the lawlessness of countless Dominican youth. That act made it legal to arrest any "Dread" without a warrant and deny bail to anyone wearing "a badge of the society" i.e. dreadlocks. Prime Ministership (1978–1979)

 Dominica on 3 November 1978 when the country was granted independence from Britain. <mask> was the honorary commander of Dominica's 80-strong defense force and was in favor of a mixed economy. Internationally, he showed interest in development that saw the island's future linked with the West. One of his first acts after independence was to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea.Crisis phase and resignation
Sentiment against the Labour Party government led by <mask> continued to grow after the implementation of the Dread Act. On 29 May 1979, <mask>'s attempts to quell opposition to his leadership led to a clash outside parliament in which a young man named Phillip Timothy and another individual were killed, and a dozen others wounded. Resistance to his rule strengthened as public servants went on strike and the country was completely shut down. The Committee for National Salvation, led by Charles Savarin, called for a general strike and the resignation of <mask> and the government. One by one, Labour Party parliamentarians resigned their positions in the cabinet and they were often aided by a rain of stones from protesters. The first Labour Party minister to resign was Oliver Seraphin who then went on to become interim Prime Minister until elections in July 1980. On June 11, 1979, President Frederick Degazon fled to Britain.<mask> was voted out of office by the House of Assembly on June 20, 1979, and the general strike ended the next day. Coup attempt
<mask> lost his seat in the Dominica House of Assembly in the general elections of 1980. In 1981 <mask> was among seven individuals including former commander of the DDF Major Frederick Newton, who were arrested for alleged plots to overthrow the government. That year there were two attempted coups d'état. Disaffected Dominica Defense Force (DDF) members, aided by a group of Dreads (Rastafarians) near Giraudel, and foreign mercenaries sought to overthrow the duly elected Dominica Freedom Party government led by Prime Minister Mary Eugenia Charles. The attempts at a coup d'état were discovered, thwarted, and

 the plotters both in Dominica and the United States were exposed. Under emergency powers, <mask> and others were arrested for their involvement in Operation Red Dog, which had the aim of restoring <mask> to power with the aid of Canadian and American citizens, largely affiliated with white supremacist and Ku Klux Klan groups.In court cases which followed, the trial judge found that <mask> was initially released, but the State appealed and the Court of Appeal ordered a new trial to take place. On October 23, 1985, <mask> was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment for conspiring to overthrow the government. <mask> was later pardoned by the same Prime Minister Mary Eugenia Charles he sought to overthrow, and he was released from prison on May 29, 1990. Sports
Following his release from prison, <mask>, formerly a member of the Dominica national football team, became a local football administrator. In 1992, he was elected President of the Dominica Football Association (DFA). Under his leadership the DFA became a FIFA affiliate in 1994. He served as President until 2006, when he was voted out of office by the local football fraternity.In 2007, he was inducted into the CONCACAF Hall of Fame. In May 2008, he was re-elected as President of the DFA. The DFA administrative headquarters is named "Patrick John Football House" in honour of him.

texts:
<mask> (May 29, 1916 – December 14, 2002) was an American film producer best known for his work on the Mel Brooks film The Producers. Early life
<mask> was born in Philadelphia on May 29, 1916, the second of three sons born to Russian-Polish émigré parents <mask> and Sophie Schekid from Minsk. His elder brother, Tom Glazer, became a composer, guitarist, and folk singer. His father, a carpenter, died during the 1918 flu epidemic, and when his mother remarried, her new husband, Solomon Levick did not want her children in the house. As a result, the three boys were placed in the Hebrew Orphan Home in Philadelphia when Glazier was 5. Glazier later reported that "[h]er reasoning and the pain it brought us remains incomprehensible, unfathomable." Glazier ran away from the orphanage after being sexually abused by a volunteer, but returned as he could find nowhere else to go.He later sought psychoanalysis to help him deal with these childhood experiences. Glazier left the home at the age of 15, working as an usher at the Bijou burlesque theater that showed films between acts. He recalled "I instantly realized that films would always be the loveliest and best escape from the troubled life I inherited". He also worked as a part-time pimp for a local madam. Glazier was managing the Mayfair Theater in Dayton, Ohio, when shortly before the United States entered the Second World War, he enlisted in the Army. The newly married Glazier served in Australia and New Guinea as a second lieutenant, commanding 100 black troops as a support unit of the 380th Bombardment Group. New York and film production

 Manhattan, where he was appointed the night manager of the Apollo Bar and worked with jazz artists such as Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday.He found a day job under the GI Bill as an apprentice jeweller, but left the position seeking to become a bonds salesman for the new state of Israel. His success in fund-raising led him to be appointed as the executive director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Cancer Foundation. He greatly admired Eleanor Roosevelt as a person and activist and the two later became friends. When she died in 1962, he initiated the production of the documentary on her life. The film, The Eleanor Roosevelt Story, which <mask> produced, was groundbreaking in style and won the 1965 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. In 1964, he married Yungmei Tang who had worked as a production assistant on the film. The couple had a daughter, Karen, in 1965.The Producers
In the fledgling film writer and director Mel Brooks pitched his project Springtime for Hitler to Glazier. Brooks had previously made numerous unsuccessful attempts to interest movie producers. Over lunch in Glazier's office, Brooks acted out all the parts and began singing Springtime for Hitler. Glazier reported that he had never laughed so hard in his life. "He spit out his coffee and tuna sandwich and couldn't stop laughing," recalled Brooks. "He said 'I vow to get this movie made. The world must see this picture.'"Glazier struggled at first to interest movie studios in the show business satire, but with perseverance Joseph E. Levine at Avco Embassy accepted the project and agreed to let Brooks direct the movie. Filming was not without its challenges. Brooks was an

 anxious, perfectionist and difficult novice director, who had problems communicating with the actors. Zero Mostel was also often angry and demanding, and Glazier had to mediate between the director, Mostel and others. Despite frequent requests from Brooks for extra money and resources, Glazier succeeded in bringing the film in under budget. Brooks remembered Glazier as a producer was "very bright, warm and a bit of a bon vivant. <mask> was the first one to say, "The dailies look good, let's have a party."He'd have a party about anything – have a few drinks, canapés and pretty girls. He was right out of a black-and-white Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie." The film, renamed The Producers at the insistence of Levine, had a mixed reception. Many critics gave it poor reviews, but the actor and comedian Peter Sellers was so enthralled that he took out ads in various trade papers praising the film as "the essence of all great comedy combined in a single motion picture." The film was to become a cult classic, and in 1996 was entered into the National Film Registry as a "culturally, historically and aesthetically significant film." In his 2001 Tony Award acceptance speech for the Broadway adaptation of the film, Brooks credited Glazier as the "man who made it happen." He recalled "None of it – all of this wonderful, magical stuff – would be, if it wasn't for the faith and courage of this terrific guy."Later career

Glazier formed a distribution company, Universal Marion Corporation Pictures, and acted as executive producer on films, such as Woody Allen's Take the Money and Run (1969), Waris Hussein's Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the

 Bronx (1970), Mel Brooks's Twelve Chairs (1970), and Glen and Randa (1971). The company managed the US distribution of Luis Buñuel's Milky Way (1969) and the Dario Argento film The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970). In 1973 Glazier produced the television drama Catholics (1973). The production, adapted from a Brian Moore novel about the Roman Catholic Church after Vatican II, won a Peabody Award. Brooks asked Glazier to go to Hollywood to work on further films, but with his marriage breaking up he demurred, preferring to remain in New York to be close to his daughter. He continued a savvy business career—for example he invested in the doctor who discovered Viagra—and maintained generous friendships with many, in which he disliked being the center of attention. Glazier died at the age of 86 of natural causes at a nursing home in Bennington, Vermont."Most movie executives and producers," said Brooks, "are usually boring and dull, and not well-read. They don't care about art or painting, they just care about profits. But <mask> was always an artist. You could talk about anything with him - great literature, life and love." The writer and critic Michael Coveney knew Glazier as demanding [...], irascible, impatient but full of charm", someone who "epitomised [New York]'s spirit of tolerance, intellectual curiosity, fast living and taste for the high life".

In the 2002 regular-season finale, ND was blown out by arch-rival USC, 44–13, and was outgained 610–109—the worst such margin in school history. That loss knocked ND from a likely Bowl Championship Series berth down to the 2003 Gator Bowl—where they were beaten by North Carolina State, 28–6. 2003
The 2003 team finished 5–7 and was beaten badly in four of those losses, getting shut out twice in one season for the first time since 1960 and finishing with a point differential of 243–315—the worst of any Fighting Irish team since the 2–8 team of 1956. 2004
In 2004, Notre Dame posted a 6–5 record in the regular season, including a 41–16 loss to Purdue (the second-worst home loss ever to Purdue) and ending with <mask>'s third consecutive loss to USC for his fifth loss by 30 points or more, and eighth by 22 points or more, in his three seasons. The following Tuesday, November 30, after an overall record in South Bend of 21–15 (an 8-0 start followed by a 13-15 finish), Notre Dame terminated <mask> as head coach. Defensive coordinator Kent Baer served as acting head coach for the Insight Bowl, a 38–21 loss to Oregon State.Washington
On December 13, 2004, <mask> was hired as the new head coach at Washington, succeeding Keith Gilbertson. The Huskies returned 19 of 22 starters from the previous season, in which they had gone 1–10 (0–8 in conference play). <mask>'s primary task was to change the program's image, which had been marred by off-the-field legal problems under Rick Neuheisel. He instituted a strict hair policy and was known to occasionally show up in his players' classes unannounced to

As chance would have it, <mask> found himself facing his former team on September 24, 2005. Notre Dame prevailed, 36–17. His first season at Washington ended with a 2–9 record (1–7 in conference play, tied for 9th place), capped by a scuffle after a close loss to Washington State.2006
His 2006 Washington team started October with a 4–1 record, with its most notable victory a stunning 29–19 upset over previously undefeated UCLA, before losing its next 6 games after starting quarterback Isaiah Stanback suffered a season-ending foot injury in a loss to Oregon State in their sixth game. The Huskies ended the season at 5–7 (3–6 in conference play, 9th place), this time defeating state rival Washington State (WSU) by three points. This win held WSU from defeating the Huskies for three years in a row, something that has never happened in the history of the century-long rivalry. 2007
The 2007 Washington Huskies football team faced what a preseason CBS Sports opinion piece called "the toughest schedule in the country"  Washington went on to a 4–9 record overall (2–7 in conference play, 10th place) with wins against Syracuse, Boise State, Stanford, and California. There was considerable debate after the season over whether <mask> should be fired as no other coach in the history of the program had ever tallied three straight losing seasons. Washington State won the Apple Cup again, making it three out of the last four. In the end, it was decided that he would return for the upcoming season with the expectation that the team become more competitive.Additionally, several boosters were pleased at <mask>'s effort to clean up the program. 2008
<mask>'s stiff demeanor resulted in a somewhat acrimonious relationship with fans, boosters, and the Seattle media. The turning point came at the end of his third (losing) season when there was a big question as to whether he would be retained.

On the move for 24 hours in the cold, he suffered frostbite but crossed it on 4 April – his third attempt.Throughout his "energy and personality" he "quickly built up a large aggressive Partisan Command". The Partisans then began operations on 28 April 1945. Three enemy garrisons surrendered unconditionally, another three were captured or "eliminated". This was followed by the surrender of Bergamo. <mask> and the leader of the Partisans initially demanded unconditional surrender of the Germans. Boldly driving into the city in a car "draped with the Union Jack", they had to withdraw after the Germans fired upon them. He ordered an attack on the city simultaneously with the underground elements within Bergamo.In the morning of 28 April 1945, <mask> obtained the unconditional surrender.

According to <mask>, "the people said they wanted change and they got change". Ward 2 is located in the north-west corner of the city in the former city of Etobicoke. The ward's population of over 50,000 in 2006 was 53% composed of immigrants, the largest group being South Asians. It is mixed in nature with 40% of dwellings being single-family detached homes and 35% being high-rise apartments. It is also known as an area that has seen gang violence, including six murders in 2000.<mask> had previously resided in the ward, but moved in 2000 prior to the election, after his marriage, to Ward 4. In 2003, <mask> was re-elected with 80% of the vote in Ward 2, defeating two candidates from the local Somali community. In the 2006 election, Ford won again, defeating Somali-Canadian candidate Cadigia Ali, this time with 66% of the vote. 2001 municipal budget
It was during the 2001 budget deliberations that Ford earned a reputation for passionate speeches. The City of Toronto was facing a several hundred million dollar budget shortfall, enough to require a 32% tax increase after the Government of Ontario shifted the delivery of services from itself to Toronto, who would have to then pay for them. Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman was pleading with other governments for financial assistance. According to Don Wanagas, the National Post City Hall columnist, the other councillors began to dread when <mask> rose to speak."I have to give my head a shake because some of the rhetoric that comes out of the mouths of some of these councillors

Councillor Anne Johnston proposed giving Ford a "neo-con award of the day", while Councillor Joe Pantalone advised Ford to take Prozac. Ford argued against spending money on the suicide prevention barrier on the Prince Edward Viaduct, and spending it instead on rounding up child molesters "who are the main cause of people jumping off bridges". Ford proposed a cut to each councillor's $200,000 office budget, money for travel to conferences, ending city limousine usage and club memberships. According to Ford, "if we wiped out the perks for council members, we'd save $100 million easy." <mask> was one of only four councillors who voted against a 5% increase in property taxes for 2001. <mask> made a point of not using his allotted city budget for his office expenses, paying for the expenses from his salary.He claimed $10 for his first year, and $4 for his second year.

During the debates around the 2002 municipal budget, Ford and Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti got in several heated exchanges, where Mammolitti called Ford a "goon" and Ford called Mammolitti a "scammer". The argument got heated to the point where Ford called Mammolitti a "Gino-boy". Mammolitti called the insult a "racist remark" and filed a

 complaint with the city's human-rights office.Three councillors stated that they heard the insult said by Ford, who denied it. Ford dismissed the councillors stating that they were liars if they thought he had made a racist remark. "I'm a conservative and the majority of people are left-wing and cannot stand my politics." The exchanges led Councillor Pam McConnell to complain about "testosterone poisoning" in the chamber. Ford extended his exchanges outside the chamber with columnist John Barber of The Globe and Mail: "I am not a racist. Anyone who calls me a racist is going to face the consequences! ", to which Barber replied "You are a racist."2003 municipal election
In the 2003 municipal election, Ford endorsed twelve political candidates on a platform of fiscal responsibility to take on fellow councillors: "We just need to get rid of these lifelong politicians that just give out money to special interest groups and don't serve the community. I'm really teed off. We need to get a new council or this city is going to go down the drain." Ford targeted Brian Ashton, Maria Augimeri, Sandra Bussin, Olivia Chow, Pam McConnell, Howard Moscoe and Sherene Shaw. Shaw was defeated by Ford's future budget chief Michael Del Grande, while the rest were re-elected. Ford made a priority of responding to local constituents' problems, often returning calls himself or meeting with city staff to resolve problems. In 2005, local radio station AM 640 tested councillors on their response by having a reporter make an after-hours call to report a pothole.<mask> was one of only three councillors to call back in person, within a day. His zeal in attending to constituents' problems became a competitive rivalry with fellow councillors

In June 2006, Ford spoke out against the city donating $1.5 million to help prevent AIDS, arguing that most taxpayers should not be concerned with AIDS. <mask> publicly apologized for the comments in May 2010 during his mayoral campaign after his opponent, George Smitherman, called Ford's character into question over the remarks. At a council meeting on March 5, 2008, Ford stated "Those Oriental people work like dogs", a remark he later formally apologized for while stating that he meant it as a compliment. On March 7, 2007, Ford spoke out against cyclists sharing roads with motorists, which were "built for buses, cars, and trucks, not for people on bikes". As councillor, <mask> opposed the installation of bike lanes on University Avenue and Jarvis Street and during his election campaign, proposed spending money on off-road cycle paths.Bike lanes were installed on Jarvis in 2010 over the objection of traffic advocates, and Ford made it a priority to get them removed during his campaign. As mayor, he was able to get council to reverse the decision in 2011, a move which was criticized by cycling advocates and led to protests. The Jarvis bike lanes, which cost the city $86,000 to install in 2011, were removed in December 2012 at a cost of $200,000–$300,000. At the same time, physically separated bike lanes on Sherbourne Street were installed. Toronto Cyclist Union president Andrea Garcia praised the Sherbourne lanes installation: "Cities all across North America that are doing way more innovative things for cyclists have been building separated bike lanes for a long time... It's great to finally see Toronto catch up." However, she also regretted the loss of lanes on Jarvis:

<mask> was elected mayor with 383,501 votes (47%) over George Smitherman's 289,832 (35.6%) and Joe Pantalone with 95,482 (11.7%). The voter turnout was around 52% of registered voters, the highest in Toronto's post-amalgamation history. Ward-by-ward electoral results showed that Ford had won all of the former pre-amalgamation suburbs, while Smitherman topped districts in the pre-amalgamation Toronto districts. <mask> received 80,000 votes from the "Downtown 13" wards, or 20% of his total votes. <mask> ran on a populist platform of fiscal conservatism and subway expansion. During the campaign, the scandals benefited Ford. After his driving under the influence (DUI) conviction became public, his share of the vote increased 10%.After it was revealed he was banned from high school coaching, he raised  in campaign contributions overnight. Mayor

 After the election, Ford had outgoing councillor Case Ootes, a former City of Toronto budget chief, head the "transition team". From his campaign team, Ford named Nick Kouvalis as his chief of staff; Mark Towhey, who had drafted his campaign platform, as his policy advisor; and Adrienne Batra, his communications advisor, as press secretary. Councillor Doug Holyday, who had helped elect <mask> Sr., was named deputy mayor. For the Executive Committee of City Council, Ford named councillors who had endorsed him in his campaign. For the inauguration ceremony at the first meeting of the new council, Ford had television commentator Don Cherry introduce him and put the chain of office on him. Cherry garnered some controversy with his

Cherry added "Put that in your pipe you left-wing kooks" and, in regards to the pink suit he was wearing, "I'm wearing pinko for all the pinkos out there that ride bicycles and everything, I thought I'd get it in." At its first meeting in December 2010, the council voted to cancel the annual $60 personal vehicle registration tax passed by the previous council. The tax cancellation, a campaign promise of Ford's, took effect on January 1, 2011. During the first year in office, the council mostly endorsed Ford's proposals. Ford privatized garbage pickup west of Yonge Street. Previously, only Etobicoke had privatized waste removal.Ford's first year as mayor in 2011 saw no property tax increase, and subsequent years' increases were less than the rate of inflation. Under Ford, council voted to declare the TTC an essential service. Ford reduced, but was unable to completely remove, the Miller-era land transfer tax. During the summer of 2013, City Council endorsed Ford's plan to cancel the "Transit City" transit plan and build the Scarborough Subway Extension fulfilling one of Ford's main campaign promises. This project was later approved and received funding both provincially and federally. In later years, Council would reject Ford's transit plans, including not putting the Crosstown LRT underground for its entire route. Near the end of Ford's term, Ford's powers were reduced by Council, spurred by Ford's personal problems, most notably reports of a video showing Ford smoking crack cocaine.<mask>'s brother <mask>

In September 2017, Toronto Mayor John Tory, along with Councillor Stephen Holyday and the <mask> family, proposed renaming Centennial Park Stadium to Rob Ford Memorial Stadium to honour <mask>'s coaching.City council rejected the proposal, 24–11 in a vote on October 5, 2017. Domestic disturbances
In 2008, after a 9-1-1 call from the Ford home, he was charged with assault and threatening to kill his wife. The Crown attorney said "there was no reasonable prospect of conviction" because there were "credibility issues" with allegations by <mask>'s wife due to inconsistencies in her statements. <mask> said at the time that he was glad the ordeal was over and that he and his wife had sought marital counselling. In two separate incidents, on October 25, 2011, and again on December 25, 2011, police were called to <mask>'s home to investigate domestic disputes. During the Christmas Day incident, his mother-in-law called 9-1-1 between  local time as she was concerned that <mask> had been drinking and was going to take his children to Florida against his wife's wishes. No charges were filed for either incident.Further domestic incident calls to police occurred in 2012 and on August 27, 2013. Again, no charges were filed. Alcohol and drug addiction

<mask> suffered from alcohol and drug addiction for many years. After the death of his father in 2006, <mask>'s abuse grew and led to public episodes of intoxication, followed by public denials. His episodes were symptomatic of alcohol and drug addiction. His episodes were reported in the media widely and attracted much condemnation. <mask>'s abuse led to him being stripped of much of his powers as Toronto

According to a couple nearby, <mask> was intoxicated, using profanity, and insulting people. The couple then sent a detailed complaint to the City of Toronto. When confronted about the episode three days later by a National Post reporter, <mask> initially denied having been at the game, but later admitted it. "I'm going through a few personal problems, but it doesn't justify, you know, getting drunk in public and pretty well acting like an idiot if you ask me." The death of <mask>'s father, <mask> Sr., in September 2006 due to cancer has been pinpointed as the time period when <mask> transitioned to crack cocaine in addition to alcohol. A convicted heroin dealer who used to supply <mask>'s sister Kathy recalled a party with Ford around that time.According to reporter <mask> Doolittle, <mask> would come home at night and drink heavily, use hard drugs or prescription pills. During his 2010 mayoral campaign, a 1999 arrest of <mask> in Miami, Florida for DUI and marijuana possession became an election issue when the Toronto Star published details of the arrest. <mask> pleaded no contest to the DUI charge, while the marijuana charge was withdrawn. <mask> was given a fine. When first confronted, <mask> denied it. When presented with the arrest paperwork, <mask> apologized and claimed he had forgotten about it. He then announced at a press conference that he had been charged with failing to provide a breath sample, when he had been arrested and convicted of drunk driving.At Saint Patrick's Day festivities in March 2012, <mask> was "very intoxicated" at City Hall and a downtown

According to one server, <mask> did cocaine in a private room at the restaurant. After "flailing around" on the restaurant's dance floor, he returned to City Hall by cab, making racial slurs to the driver. <mask> then wandered around City Hall after 2:00a.m. with a bottle of brandy, using profane language at his staffer, Earl Provost, before security arranged for him to be taken home.The incident was revealed in November 2013, after an e-mail from a City Hall security guard describing the incident was found through access to information requests. Ford's staff tried to convince Ford to get treatment for his alcoholism, but he initially refused. Ford was reported smoking marijuana in a shopping plaza parking lot. In February 2013, <mask> attended the Garrison Ball and was reported to be incoherent. His staff ushered him out after an event organizer asked him to leave. In March 2013, Ford was accused of groping former mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson at a social event, and Thomson publicly stated that she thought that he was high on cocaine. It was around that time that Ford was recorded on video smoking crack cocaine, a video which the dealers attempted to sell to the Toronto Star and other media outlets.In April 2014, Ford was involved in another incident at the Air Canada Centre. Ford, along with city budget chief Frank DiGiorgio, was denied access to the Director's Lounge at the Air Canada Centre. He was video-recorded issuing profanities during an argument with the security staff. He later denied being intoxicated, and blamed the incident on voting against

On August 11, 2016, the original video of <mask> smoking crack cocaine was released from publication ban by the Toronto Police Service after the extortion charge against Sandro Lisi was dropped. The cellphone video was recorded "surreptitiously" by Mohamed Siad in February 2013.The video shows <mask> smoking crack cocaine from a glass pipe. His words are slurred and mostly inaudible during the conversation. Shortly before he admitted smoking crack cocaine, <mask> said, "Whatever this video shows... Toronto residents deserve to see it and people need to judge for themselves what they see on this video." Illness and death
After developing severe abdominal pains, <mask> was admitted to Humber River Regional Hospital in North York in September 2014 with an abdominal tumour, and a biopsy was taken. <mask> announced that he would not run in the 2014 Toronto mayoral election because of his illness; his brother Doug would run in his place. <mask> chose to run for his former Ward 2 seat on the City Council. He was likely to shortly begin treatment with multiple chemotherapy agents; the doctor did not say whether <mask> would need to have surgery or radiation treatments.On September 17, 2014, Dr. Zane Cohen of Mount Sinai Hospital (the lead doctor of Ford's health care team) revealed that Ford had been diagnosed with pleomorphic liposarcoma, a rare form of cancer that arises in adipose tissue (fat). <mask> was treated with chemotherapy and surgery. After chemotherapy and radiation therapy, <mask> announced in a press conference that he was going to have a lengthy surgery done on May 11, 2015,

At a community barbecue hosted by the <mask> family in 2015, <mask> announced that doctors had cleared him of cancerous tumours. On October 28, 2015, Ford revealed, and his physician confirmed, that a new tumour was growing on his bladder. The next day, <mask> advised reporters that the tumour had been found to be cancerous and consistent with liposarcoma (the previous tumour), based on a CT scan.On March 17, 2016, Ford's office announced he was in the hospital "with his family beside him" as chemotherapy treatment had not been successful, and Ford's health was being reviewed to determine if he could continue treatment. The <mask> family thanked the many who had wished the former mayor well in recent weeks, but requested privacy. A <mask> "get-well-soon" website was set up by the <mask> family to send positive messages to <mask> while he received cancer treatment; it received over 5,000 messages from well-wishers in the first two weeks after its creation. On March 21, 2016, Ford's office confirmed that he had been placed into palliative care at Mount Sinai Hospital. <mask> died the following day, March 22, at the age of 46. After his death, City Hall started an official period of mourning. Flags at municipal buildings were lowered to half-staff; a book of condolences was started at City Hall, chalk was provided for personal messages on the pavement of Nathan Phillips Square, similar to that after the death of Jack Layton; and the 3D Toronto sign was dimmed at the square.Visitations were held at City Hall for two days with the <mask> family present.

Moyers added: "Our times at last have found their voice, and it belongs to a Pakistani American: <mask> <mask>."In 2017, <mask> won the Steinberg Playwright Award. In his acceptance speech at Lincoln Center Theater, later published in The New York Times, he explained why he believes the theater is only more important now than it ever has been:A living being before a living audience. Relationship unmediated by the contemporary disembodying screen. Not the appearance of a person, but the reality of one. Not a simulacrum of relationship, but a form of actual relationship. The theater is an art form scaled to the human, and stubbornly so, relying on the absolute necessity of physical audience, a large part of why theater is so difficult to monetize. It only happens when and where it happens.Once it starts, you can't stop it. It doesn't exist to be paused or pulled out at the consumer's whim. It can't be copied and sold. In a world increasingly lost to virtuality and unreality — the theater points to an antidote. A living actor before a living audience. The situation of all theater, a situation that can awaken in us a recollection of something more primordial, religious ritual — the site of our earliest collective negotiations with our tremendous vulnerability to existence. The act of gathering to witness the myths of our alleged origins enacted — this is the root of the theater's timeless magic.<mask>'s second novel, Homeland Elegies, was published in September, 2020 by Little, Brown and Company.
