The year 1999 was seen by the Social Democrats as the year of the fiscal policies pursued since they came to office in 1994: GDP growth was estimated at about 3.6 per cent, well above the European average, inflation remained subdued, and the budget was in surplus for the first time in the 1990 Income tax cuts were proposed by the party.In 2000, a strong economy, falling unemployment, and the impact of the Internet appeared to breathe new life into the Swedish model of a welfare society, one that had seemed dead and buried during the deep recession of the early 1990s. The Social Democrats did not take advantage of the economic boom. The party had a 36 per cent approval level after the election. The Left Party picked up support with its program of increased public spending and opposition to Swedish membership in the European single currency. The bursting of the dot-com boom had implications for Sweden. The world's largest producer of mobile telecommunications equipment, as well as the country's once fast-expanding Internet consulting firms and dot-com start-ups, shed thousands of jobs. In 2000, the gross domestic product was expected to grow 3.6 per cent, but it was expected to fall to 1.5 per cent in 2001, and only a small recovery in 2002.The government was hoping that tax cuts, subsidies on child-care expenses, and wage increases would boost consumer confidence and increase disposable income. The weakness of the Swedish krona, which hit record lows against both the dollar and the Euro in 2001, was expected to boost exports in 2002. The 2002 election saw the Social Democrats increase their number of seats in the parliament at the expense of the Left Party. <mask> continued to lead a minority government despite demands from his supporters to form a coalition. After the defeat at the general elections of 17 September 2006, <mask> immediately filed a request for resignation, and declared his intentions to resign as party leader after a special party congress in March 2007. On 13 April 2007, <mask> announced his resignation from the Riksdag to be succeeded by his native Vingker. In October 2007, <mask> released his memoirs, "Min vg, mina val".<mask>'s time in office was chronicled in a documentary series that aired on SVT in March of 2007. The documentary became controversial due to <mask>'s negative comments about both his party members and his political opponents. In April 2007, <mask> left his seat in the Riksdag. He was going to work as a consultant for the PR firm JKL in the future. He was installed as chairman of the board of Sveaskog in April 2008. The post was held by him until 2015. One of Sweden's largest banks has a new chairman.He became a member of the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation in late 2008. <mask> was elected to the Board of Directors of the World Resources Institute. <mask> has advocated for an expanded Swedish role in the European Union. During Sweden's presidency of the EU in the first half of 2001, <mask> presided over the organization and contributed towards the enlargement which took place in 2004. A majority of Swedes voted against joining the EMU in a 2003 referendum. In 1998, Prime Minister <mask> initiated international talks on the establishment of an inter-governmental organisation for Holocaust education, which resulted in the founding of the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance, and Research. There are 27 Member States of the ITF.He had already raised the issue of Holocaust education within the Swedish Parliament, and initiated a national information campaign with the aim for 'facts about the Holocaust to form the platform for a discussion on democracy, tolerance and the fact that every human was of equal value.' The campaign was called Living History. The Raoul Wallenberg Award was given to him in 2001 for his political leadership in the field of climate policy.

type: paraphrased

texts: He was the first four-star general of the Philippines' armed forces. On July 13, 1905, Fructoso L.<mask> was born in Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines, and was seventh among fourteen children. His secondary education was in Manila North High school. He received a degree in civil engineering from Mapa Institute of Technology in 1931. He passed the board examination in the same year. He was a cadet colonel and corps commander in the ROTC at the University of the Philippines when he graduated in 1929. After school, he continued his interest.His military career began when he was appointed third lieutenant on June 8, 1936, after five years of civil engineering practice. He was made the battalion commander after attending the Reserve Officer Service School. Twenty years after graduating from the top of his class, he was honored as its most distinguished alumni. The most decorated unit commander of the 1st Regular Division in the Bataan campaign, Captain <mask>, was dubbed the "Hammer of the Division" by the commanding general because he outmaneuvered and outsmarted the enemy. He earned the title of "hero of the pockets" after his unit broke through the Gogo- Cotar and Tuol Pockets. He was promoted to major for his bravery in battle. He was decorated with the United States Army'sDistinguished Service Cross for "extraordinary heroism in combat in Bataan" and the Silver Star for "Gallantry in action" two days later.The Philippine Government awarded him two medals for the same combat action. A superior Japanese Army force launched an attack from a general line on January 25, 1942. The enemy rushed through a 500-yard gap after the attack swept the outpost line in resistance. Hundreds of Japanese troops tried to break through lines. As the gap posed a serious threat to the positions and the security of the division,<mask> was given the hazardous mission of closing it. He led a counter- attack against the Japanese forces positioned between the MLR and the RRL. The fighting began on January 29, 1942.The defenders fought hard to restore the defensive sector assigned to the 1st Regular Division. Major <mask> reluctantly surrendered his unit to the Imperial Japanese forces on April 12, 1942. One of the captives in the "Death March" to Camp O'Donnell was a prisoner of war. On August 10, 1942, he was released from the concentration camp. He was assigned to the Intelligence Division of the North Section in Manila with the rank of colonel during the Japanese occupation. The American and Filipino soldiers liberated Manila from February to March 1945. At the end of the liberation campaign, he was assigned to Camp Murphy as camp inspector of the 2nd Camp Complement.He was an executive officer of the 1st Camp Complement, acting district commander at Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga, and the commanding officer of the 4th MP Battalion. After the war, he was sent to the United States as a student officer at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he finished the regular Command and Staff course a year later. Secretary of National Defense Ramon Magsaysay offered him the provincial governorship of Cotabato in 1951, but he declined. It was a difficult decision to make. The position was appointive at that time. The province of Cotabato was in turmoil. The death of many political followers resulted from violent clashes.He said that the problem was political in nature and that he had mapped his course for a military career. His reply was appreciated. A diversion like that of the appointive offer would affect his plan to attain the highest position in the military hierarchy because he knew what he wanted in his career. The 15th Battalion Combat Team (BCT) was composed of elements of the 9th BCT and the PC commands of Iloilo, Capiz and Antique. Reporting to his new command on March 1, 1951, he once again showed his ability in military tactics. At the height of the Huk campaign, he accounted for the fall of two of the highest-ranking dissidents. He was given the chance to put his military skills to use.He made history when he was the secretary general of the Communist Party of the Philippines. Colonel <mask> made a crucial decision during the campaign to capture Capadocia and destroy the left-wing band on the island in 1951 and 1952. He organized a civilian unit headed by a mountain leader who knew the people and the terrain very well. The 15th BCT was designated as the holding or covering force in part of his command decision. The wily Capadocia would have had the government forces running around at circles as they were handicapped in the rough terrain. The death of Capadocia was a part of the plan. The surrender of hundreds of dissident leaders' men was a result of the constant military operations aimed at their capture.In addition, the capture of the rebels' arms, supplies and equipment as well as important documents which were of great value to the entire campaign for peace and order throughout the country was crucial in breaking up the backbone of the dissidents' depredations. The campaign to capture the leader of the Huk and destroy his group in the Bicol region was a crucial one. The Huk leader was holed up in the Manito area. It was a risky decision to leave those other areas at the mercy of Balgos and his marauders. The weather was an ally in the operation. A strong typhoon that was raging at the time, and the possibility that Balgos could have slipped out due to the thinness of the cordon surrounding him, was very evident. Balgos liked sardines.The stores surrounding his hideout had sardines distributed by the manufacturer. Under cover of the typhoon, a scout Ranger team positioned itself at the latrine area of his camp and caught him in their sights with his pants down. He jumped with both pistols drawn.

Colonel <mask>' deep understanding and knowledge of the nature of the dissident underground movement enabled him to effect the intelligent deployment of his troops as well as secure the cooperation and support of the civilian population and weaken the Huk organization. The Commission of Appointments confirmed the appointment of Colonel <mask> as ad interim brigadier general on May 4, 1955, six days after his second achievement.His successful effort in the Huk campaigns spread abroad and inspired other military leaders in Southeast Asia who were locked in a battle to stop Communism in their own countries. He was awarded the Philippine Legion of Honor and another Legion of Honor from the United States Government. He was the chief of the War Plans Division at Camp Murphy when he was in the SEATO. The first chief of the SEATO Military Planning Office was installed on March 1, 1957. He was the commanding general of the Philippine Army on August 1, 1960. Upon assumption of position,<mask> pursued a career management program for officers, reassigning them in accordance with their career profile. A stickler for professional excellence, he instituted rigid training for troops and required appropriate compulsory schooling of officers who were in need of it.He efficiently carried out the broad policies and vital mission of the PA through his conscientious and indefatigable efforts. He was concerned with the welfare of his men and wanted to improve the living conditions of the enlisted personnel and their families. In order to better prepare military personnel for civilian life, he pursued non-military projects such as practical lessons and training in livestock-raising. The merit system was emphasized on the matters of promotion and assignment of officers and men under his command. His firm, mature and unyielding decisions on administrative matters, which were tempered with and founded upon justice and human understanding, contributed to a large extent to the effective synchronization of the various PA staffs and efficient functioning of the entire command. He became the first military man from the ranks of the ROTC and "citizen army" to be named as chief of staff of the military on September 1, 1962, after having served for more than two years as commanding general of the Philippine Army. He was the first one-star general to be elevated directly to a three-star rank, as a result of his ascendance to this top position.The Allied Officers Hall of Fame is located at the United States Army Command and General Staff at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. On April 14, 1973, he received the Certificate of Honor from the US Ambassador. There are awards and decorations for distinguished conduct star, gold cross medal, legion of honor, long service medal, anti-dissidence campaign medal and Philippine defense medal. Honor graduate of the ROTC advanced course. The first ROTC graduate to become the commanding general of the Philippine Army was the Most Outstanding graduate. During the Bataan campaign, the Japanese Imperial Force twice tried to take the 1st Regular Division, and Gen.<mask>' unit broke through and destroyed the pockets, earning him the honor of the "Hero of the Pockets". The "Death March" was held in the Capas, Tarlac Prisoners of War Concentration Camp.The Communist Party of the Philippines and Regional Huk Field Commanders were captured and killed in 1951 and 1954.

title: Eugen Weidmann

texts: <mask>, a German criminal and serial killer, was guillotined in France in June 1939, the last public execution in that country. Weidmann was born in Germany to an export businessman and went to school there. He started stealing when he was sent to live with his grandparents during World War I. He spent five years in jail for robbery in his twenties. Roger Million and Jean Blanc befriended Weidmann while he was in jail. They decided to work together to steal money from tourists in France after they were released from jail. They rented a villa in Saint-Cloud.Their first attempt at kidnapping ended in failure because their victim was too hard on them. In July 1937, Weidmann met Jean De Koven, a New York City dancer visiting her aunt Ida Sackheim in Paris. De Koven was impressed by the tall, handsome German and wrote a letter to a friend. I don't know if I'm going to another Wagnerian role. I am going to visit him tomorrow at his villa near a famous mansion that Napoleon gave Josephine. They smoked and gave her a glass of milk. She took photos of him with her new camera, which was found beside her body.Weidmann buried her in the garden. She had 300 Francs in cash and $430 in traveller's cheques, which the group sent to her mistress. Sackheim was sent a letter demanding $500 for the return of her niece. Henry came to France with a reward from his father for information about the young woman. Weidmann hired a chauffeur named Joseph Couffy to drive him to the French Riviera where, in a forest outside Tours, he shot him in the nape of the neck and stole his car. On 3 September, Million and Weidmann lured a private nurse into a cave in the forest of Fontainebleau with a job offer. He killed her with a bullet to the neck and stole her diamond ring.Million and Weidmann arranged a meeting with a young theatrical producer named Roger LeBlond, promising to invest money in one of his shows. He was shot in the back of his head and his wallet was taken. Weidmann murdered and robbed a young German he had met in jail. Frommer was held there because of his anti-Nazi views. The victim was shot in the neck again. De Koven was buried in the basement of the Saint-Cloud house. Weidmann committed his final murder five days later.The real estate agent was showing the killer around a house in Saint-Cloud when he was shot. He had five thousand Francs taken from him. Arrest Officers from the Sreté tracked Weidmann to the villa from a business card left at Lesobre's office. Two officers were waiting for Weidmann when he arrived at his home. He invited them in and then fired at them with a pistol. The wounded Sreté men wrestled Weidmann down and knocked him unconscious with a hammer that was nearby. Weidmann confessed to all of his murders, including that of de Koven, the only one for which he expressed regret.He said that she was gentle and unaware. She went down like a doll when I reached for her throat. The murder trial of Weidmann, Million, Blanc and Tricot in Versailles in March 1939 was the biggest since that of Henri Désiré Landru, the modern-day "Bluebeard", 18 years earlier. Landru was defended by one of Weidmann's lawyers. The French novelist was engaged by Paris-Soir to write an essay on Weidmann. Weidmann and Million were sentenced to death while Blanc and Tricot were acquitted. Million's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.Weidmann was beheaded outside of the prison on June 17, 1939. The "hysterical behavior" by spectators was so scandalous that the French President banned all future public executions. Christopher Lee was also at the event. His character in the 1989 French TV drama about the French Revolution made a lot of use of the device. The last execution by guillotine took place on September 10, 1977. The execution was filmed from a private apartment next to the prison. There are books about <mask> Weidmann, such as La Pulsion du Mal d'Eugne Weidmann.The frontispiece of the book is a drawing of Weidmann. Weidmann is frequently seen as a character in Jean Genet's celebrated debut work "Notre Dame des Fleurs", first published in French by L'Arbalete, 1943. The book "Craftsmen In Crime" was published in London in 1956. The video of the execution 1908 births 1939 deaths is from La Pulsion du Mal d'Eugne Weidmann.

His family is from Peranakan Chinese. The first Luitenant der Chinezen of Bekasi, a high-ranking post in the civil bureaucracy, is a great-grandson of the late nineteenth-century magnate and mandarin Lauw Tek Lok. When Louisa was widowed, she married another Chinese magnate, Sim Keng Koen, who was the first Kapitein der Chinezen of Sukabumi. The first native-born Indonesian to graduate from an American university was the plantation owner's father. The connection with America continued with the four brothers who were all educated in the United States.Sim-<mask> is a cousin of the Malaysian royal. Early life and career was at Dickinson College. Many members of the Lauw-Sim-<mask> family fled to Singapore, The Netherlands and other countries when the country's private businesses were nationalised. The young woman was working at Time magazine in New York. Asia Magazine was the first regional newspaper colour supplement in Asia. In what was his first Asian investment, Murdoch invested in the magazine after it failed a year later. The magazine was part of the English speaking family until 1998.For the last ten years, it was held above the water by Mr. Giro Semba and Mr. Olav Muller-Uri. The person responsible for getting Air France back into Vietnam is Olav Muller-Uri. <mask> started a magazine in Hong Kong called Orientations. Orientations became a publication focused on the arts of East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Himalayas after the advent of in-flight magazines. renowned scholars and researchers from around the world are contributors to the leading magazine in this field. His first experience in the hotel business was when a friend asked him to help broker land deals in Asia. Regent International Hotels was one of the first luxury hotel groups in Asia.In 1986 <mask> sold his 30% stake in the hotels to the trio for $30 million. He formed an investment fund that bought several hotels, including the Regent Hotel in Thailand and the Dorchester Hotel in London, before eventually selling them. While walking along Pansea Beach while looking for a site to build a holiday home, he came across a coconut plantation which was a prime location. Plans to build a home on a site soon developed into an idea to build a small boutique resort in partnership with a long time friend. The two spent their own money because no banks would lend for the project due to the small number of planned rooms, instead of the 500-room hotel they thought would be more practical. The cost of Amanpuri was US$4 million and only 40 rooms. It confirmed the viability of a chain of minimalist boutique resorts in remote, natural settings.The controlling interest in Silverlink was sold to Clement Vaturi, an old friend of the family that owned the Hoteliere Immobliere chain of French hotels. Only 45% of the share holdings were left by Zecha. The arrangement was satisfactory to both parties until Vaturi's controlling interest came under the control of Colony Capital, a real estate investment fund. The plans to expand the number of Aman resorts were put on hold by a lawsuit between Vaturi and Colony Capital. He resigned from his position as CEO in 1998 because he owned only 45% of Silverlink's shares. Vaturi got his Silverlink shares back after Colony Capital and him settled their lawsuit. He sold his shares to a Hong Kong property fund which was affiliated with a Singapore-based fund.With the controlling investors now sharing his vision, he returned as chairman and CEO. The Hacineda de San Antonio was opened in Mexico in 2000. In 2007, he announced that he had reached an agreement with DLF to form a partnership to acquire a controlling interest in Aman Resorts.

John was a child when he died of tetanus. The Reverend Charles Mercer Hall was the husband of the woman who had two children. The landmark Hamer v. Sidway case held that forbearance of legal rights on promises of future benefit made by other parties can constitute valid consideration for the purposes of forming a contract. The Hamer opinion held that the contracts were valid. The teenager's face had been used in advertisements without her permission. This use did not violate her privacy rights.The New York State Legislature passed a privacy law after the decision was unpopular in the press. Martha Place became the first woman to be executed by electric chair after the death sentence for her was upheld. As the 1904 presidential election approached, the Democrats began to search for a nominee to oppose popular incumbent Republican president Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt was worried that the neutral-tinted individual would win against the man because he had never opened his mouth on any national question. The 1904 World's Fair and the 1904 Summer Olympics were hosted by the Democratic National Convention. The campaign for the nomination was led by David B. Hill, who tried and failed to capture the nomination himself. <mask>, who was defeated by William McKinley in both 1896 and 1900, was no longer considered a viable alternative by delegates.Due to opposition from a powerful New York political machine, radicals in the party were unable to secure the nomination for publisher William Randolph Hearst. Several delegates pledged their support to other candidates, including Missouri Senator Francis Cockrell, Richard Olney, Edward C. Wall, and George Gray. Cleveland, who had already served two nonconsecutive terms, was no longer popular within the party due to his feud with <mask>. His long service on the bench proved to be an advantage in his nomination, as he had avoided taking stands on issues that divided the party, particularly that of currency standards. The supporters of the candidate remained silent. By the time the convention cast their votes, it was clear that no candidate could unify the party, and he was selected on the first ballot. Henry G. Davis, an elderly West Virginia millionaire and former senator, was selected as the vice presidential candidate in the hope that he would partially finance the campaign.The convention was riven by debate over whether to include a free silver plank in the campaign's platform, opposing the gold standard and calling for the government to mint large numbers of silver dollars. The "free silver" movement, a key plank of the party in 1896 and 1900, was popular among indebted Western farmers who felt that inflation would help them repay their debts. Business interests supported the lower inflation of the gold standard. <mask> fought to keep the gold standard out of the party platform in 1904. The convention did not include a plank on the subject. If he could not state that he considered the gold standard "firmly and irrevocably established" in his campaign, he would decline the nomination. The convention replied to <mask> that he was free to speak on the issue as he wanted, despite the new debate and opposition from <mask>.Roosevelt praised his opponent's telegram in private as "bold and skillful" and "most adroit". The judge resigned after receiving the nomination. A delegation of party elders visited him at Rosemount on August 10 to inform him of his nomination. Even though the speech was criticized for Roosevelt's involvement in Turkish and Moroccan affairs and for failing to give a date for the Philippines to become independent of American control, it was considered impersonal and uninteresting by supporters. The speech was described as a "fiasco" by Lewis L. Gould. After this initial speech,<mask> retreated into a strategy of silence, avoiding comment on all major issues. <mask>'s campaign was also poorly run.delegations would be brought to Rosemount to see <mask> speak on the model of McKinley's 1896 campaign in a front porch campaign. Due to Esopus's remote location and the campaign's inefficient use of funds,<mask> received few visitors. The Democrats emphasized Roosevelt's character, portraying him as dangerously unstable, rather than introducing issues that would differentiate the two parties. The campaign did not reach out to traditional Democratic voting blocs such as Irish Catholic immigrants. Roosevelt's campaign, headed by George Cortelyou, organized committees to appeal specifically to Jewish, black, and German-American voters. John Hay was Roosevelt's Secretary of State and he wrote about the poor showing to Henry Adams. A month before the election,<mask> became aware of the large amount of corporate donations Cortelyou had solicited for the Roosevelt campaign, and made "Cortelyouism" a theme of his speeches, accusing the president of being insincere in previous trust busting efforts.He went on a speaking tour in the key states of New York and New Jersey, in which he reiterated the president's "shameless exhibition of a willingness to make compromise with dignity". Roosevelt denounced the criticisms as "monstrous" and "slanderous". It was too late to turn the election. Roosevelt won the election by a huge margin on November 8. Roosevelt carried every Northern and Western state, including Missouri, for a total of 336 electoral votes. The night before Roosevelt's birthday, he telegraphed his congratulations to him. According to Irving Stone's 1943 book, they also ran, the only defeated presidential candidate in history never to have a biography written about him.The 1904 election was one of the few in American history in which voters had two first-rate candidates to choose from. Stone said Roosevelt's colorful style made Americans like him more. After the election,<mask> resumed practicing law and served as the president of the American Bar Association from 1906 to 1907. The "Danbury Hatters' case" was one of the cases he represented organized labor in. When unions boycotted the company, it sued the United Hatters of North America for violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. The union was found to have acted in restraint of interstate commerce by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court overturned the convictions of Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders for contempt of court because of the statute of limitations.The keynote address of the 1912 Democratic National Convention was delivered by <mask>, who later returned to politics. He was counsel for the managers of the trial that led to the impeachment of the governor. Mary died in 1917. He was married to Amelia Day "Amy" Campbell in 1923. On May 10, 1926, only a few days after recovering from bronchial pneumonia, <mask> died from a heart attack while riding in his car through New York City's Central Park, four days before his 74th birthday. Mrs. Charles Mercer Hall was his daughter from his first wife. He was buried in Kingston.References include Shoemaker, Fred C., "Alton <mask>: the images of a age statesman gilded in an era of progressive politics" online. The address was delivered at the joint meeting of the Senate and Assembly in the capitol of Albany.

title: Abram Alikhanov

texts: <mask> was an experimental physicist who specialized in particle and nuclear physics. He was a leading physicist in the Soviet Union. Before joining the Soviet atomic bomb project, <mask> studied X-rays and cosmic rays. He directed the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics in Moscow from 1945 to 1968. The first research and the first industrial heavy water reactor were developed by him. They were commissioned in 1949 and 1951. He was a pioneer in Soviet technology.The first cyclotron outside of Berkeley, California was created in 1934 by him and his partner. The 70 GeV synchrotron in Serpukhov was the largest in the world at the time. Artem Alikhanian was the leader of the Yerevan Physics Institute for many years. Early life <mask> was born to parents from Armenia. His father was a railroad engineer and his mother was a housewife. Artem Alikhanian was a noted physicist. Araksia was one of the sisters.Ruzanna was born in 1906. In 1913. In 1912–13, his family lived in Gyumri, where he attended a college. The family lived in Tiflis until 1918. They lived in Alexandropol until the Turkish–Armenian War of 1920. They graduated from a Tiflis college in 1921. He did not study in order to support himself and his family.He was a cashier and telephone operator. <mask> moved to Leningrad in 1923 to enroll in the chemistry department of the Polytechnic Institute. He moved to the department of physics and mechanics in 1924. Several prominent scientists taught there, including Ioffe. He worked at the Mechnikov Hospital as a radiographer. He graduated in 1929. He received a PhD in Physical and Mathematical Sciences in 1935.He chaired the Department of Physics at the St. Petersburg State Transport University. <mask> began working part-time at the Physical-Technical Institute in Leningrad in 1927 as a researcher focusing on X-rays, X-ray diffraction, and solid-state physics. He published his first paper on the use of X-ray analysis in investigating the crystal structure of the copper-aluminum alloy in 1929. He was employed by the Physical-Technical Institute full-time after graduating from the Polytechnic Institute. He collaborated with his brothers Artem and Lev Artsimovich in 1930. <mask> and Artsimovich studied X-ray optics under the supervision of Pyotr Ivanovich Lukirskii. Total internal reflection of X-rays from thin layers of various substances was studied.He showed that aluminum doesn't undergo allotropic transformation when X-rayed. He studied the total internal reflection of X rays from thin layers and the estimation of the depth of their penetration into the medium. The laws of classical optics can be applied to the reflection of hard X rays. <mask> summarized the results in a monograph. <mask> switched to nuclear physics in 1933 after the discovery of the positron. <mask> was appointed head of the positron laboratory at the Physical-Technical Institute. His group made observations of positrons and studied pair production.Their work became a starting point for the application of radio engineering to experimental nuclear physics in the Soviet Union. <mask> and his colleagues were the first to study the spectrum of positrons from external pair conversion over the entire energy range. They showed that the maximum of the spectrum occurs in the vicinity of the positron energy equal to half the endpoint energy. It was possible to reconstruct diagrams of decays of excited nuclei because of the investigations. They used a spectrometer developed by <mask> and a Wilson cloud chamber to study beta decay. It was an improved version of the classical magnetic spectrometer with a system of coincidence-coupled gas-discharge counters. An important methodological novelty was the use of this registration system.It opened the way for the development of Soviet nuclear electronics, which has been advanced by <mask>'s students. The dependence of positron yield on -quantum energy and on the atomic number of the element could be investigated with the help of the new magnetic spectrometer. The first cyclotron outside of Berkeley, California was built in 1934 by <mask> and Igor Kurchatov. Some experiments were conducted. The first cyclotron in the Soviet Union was built in 1936. The discovery that positrons were present even in the absence of a heavy element led to the discovery of a new phenomenon, the production of an electron-positron pair as a result of internal conversion of the energy of the excited nucleus. This was used in nuclear analysis.The group studied scattering of fast electrons in matter and radioactive substances. <mask> discovered a new method of determining the rest mass of the neutrino. Due to the approaching Nazi forces, <mask> and the Institute for Physical Problems were evacuated from the Pamir Mountains in the summer of 1941. He moved to Soviet Armenia in 1942 to study the rays at Mount Aragats. The presence of an intense group of protons with comparatively small energies in the soft cosmic-radiation component was discovered by the expedition to Aragats. <mask> and his group, including his brother Artem Alikhanian, wrongly concluded that there was a broad spectrum of mass in the varitrons. The <mask>-Alikhanian brothers were criticized for their claim.The claim was questioned in the West and attacked by a group of Soviet physicists. Soviet Cosmic Ray research has suffered a lack of prestige because of the controversy. From 1944 to 1946, <mask> worked at the Institute for Physical Problems in Moscow. The Department of Structure of Matter was headed by <mask> at Moscow State University. The Nuclear Physics Division of the Soviet Academy of Sciences was organized by him. Several of <mask>'s students were Boris S. Dzhelepov. Pyotr E. Spivak.<mask> was involved in the atomic bomb project. The Soviet project began after the Soviet authorities learned of the German, British and American programs of nuclear weapons. There is a laboratory at that location. <mask> was assigned to build a nuclear pile with heavy water. Lev Artsimovich, Isaak Kikoin, and Anatoly Alexandrov worked on different processes. The research on the construction of a heavy-water reactor was led by <mask>. Lavrentiy Beria was the head of the Special Committee under the Council of Ministers.The Scientific-Technical Council was headed by Boris Vannikov and included <mask> as its scientific secretary. ITEP had a laboratory on December 1, 1945. <mask> was the head of 3 of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) became the new name of the laboratory in 1949. <mask> retired in 1968. The theory division of the institute was headed by Lev Landau and his student. <mask> was the leader of research on advanced scintillation techniques.<mask> had begun work on a nuclear reactor based on heavy water. The first reactor was designed by <mask> with a small staff. It was put into operation on April 25, 1949. <mask> was heavily involved in the project. The reactor was for the most part his creature because he solved all the physical and technical problems that arose in construction. It was the first heavy-water reactor in the USSR. A number of studies and discoveries were done based on it.It was shut down in 1987. Experiments that would advance the design and construction of other reactor were the reason why the reactor was not invented for nuclear power generation. In 1959 <mask> led the design of 10 MW experimental research heavy-water reactor which were built in China and Yugoslavia. The first industrial heavy-water reactor in the Soviet Union was designed by <mask>. In October 1951, it was commissioned in Chelyabinsk-65. The heat exchanger froze after it began operating. In 1965, it was disassembled.<mask> was a renowned head and a strong advocate of heavy-water reactor, though they were given the preference for their price. The main direction of <mask>'s institute became construction of a high-energy accelerator after the completion of the heavy-water reactor. A strong focusing of 7 GeV was achieved by the institute in 1961. It was possible to conduct research on elementary particle physics on a larger scale thanks to the accelerator. <mask> was the leader of several studies and investigations based on the new instrument. The 7-GeV was an operating model for the 70-GeV accelerator in Serpukhov, which was advanced by <mask>. <mask> was behind the construction of the Serpukhov accelerator.The design was designed by <mask> and his team. The Serpukhov accelerator was the largest in the world at the time. At IHEP in Protvino, near Serpukhov, Alikhanov was the driving force behind the decision to build the first strong focusing accelerators in the Soviet Union. The Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) took over the construction of the Serpukhov accelerator in 1960. Abov said that the decision by the Ministry of Defense was an "irreparable blow" for Alikhanov. Abov said that the Ministry made a decision to transfer it to the IHEP from the very beginning. Alikhanov oversaw the research on parity violation after the Wu experiment.He led studies that explored the structure of weak interaction. The first physicist to investigate it was <mask>. The longitudinal polarization of electrons was measured. <mask> was known to his family and friends as "Abusha". He was straightforward and generous in his dealings with people, regardless of whether the matter was a scientific or a personal problem, according to his colleagues and students. He was described as aggressive. Alikhanov had two marriages.He had two children with his first wife, Anna Grigorievna Prokofieva. Ruben was a physicist, while his daughter was a writer. His second wife was Slava Solomonovna Roshal. He was a violinist. They had two children. Yevgenia was a pianist. A violinist in 1949.Tigran was the president of the Moscow Conservatory from 2005 to 2009. Alikhanov had a stroke in 1964. He resigned as director of the ITEP in 1968. <mask> died in Moscow at the age of 66. He was buried in Moscow. <mask> was never a member of the Communist Party. Alikhanov was "fairly outspoken" and did not like the Soviet regime.He told his colleagues that Lavrentiy Beria was a "dreadful person" before he was sent into exile near Moscow on Stalin's orders. The Soviet leaders were asked by <mask> to return Kapitsa to the head of the Institute for Physical Problems. During the antisemitic rootless cosmopolitanism and the Doctors' plot campaigns in the post-war years, he did not collaborate with the authorities. Abov noted that Alikhanov was able to minimize the number of victims, though he did protect his colleagues. The "Letter of 300" was signed by a number of leading Soviet scientists. <mask> came under pressure when several of his staff gave pro-democracy speeches. The organization of the party was dismantled.Khrushchev told <mask> that he wanted to prevent the arrest of the dissidents. <mask> told the dissidents that they were heroes if they knew what they were doing. You're fools if you didn't. Artem Alikhanian is the brother of <mask>, one of the dissidents who was forced to leave ITEP. <mask> was active in writing letters to the Soviet leaders protesting attempts to restore or protect Stalinism after Khrushchev's denunciation. In March 1966 he joined Pyotr Kapitsa, Andrei Sakharov and others in opposing the rehabilitation of Stalin. The Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics was named after <mask> in 2004.One of the leading Soviet physicists is <mask>. The obituary called <mask> one of the founding fathers of nuclear physics in the country. <mask> was described as the founder of experimental nuclear and particle physics in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Shifman. "Comrades <mask>, Ioffe, and Kurchatov are as competent as I or even more so," Pyotr Kapitsa wrote to Stalin in 1945. <mask> was not a genius like Landau or Kapitsa. He was a distinguished scientist and honest man who gathered in his institute the same kind of men, and transmitted to us his awesomely high standards. According to Abov, Alikhanov's research was worthy of a prize.A friend of the artist painted a portrait of <mask>. Stalin Prize, Red Banner of Labour, Hero of Socialist Labour, and Corresponding member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences are some of the awards.

title: N. C. Wyeth

texts: N. C<mask> was an American artist and illustrator who died in 1945. He was one of America's greatest illustrators. The Scribner Classics is the body of work for which he is best known, as he created more than 3000 paintings and illustrated 112 books. One of his masterpieces, Treasure Island, was paid for by the proceeds of his studio. The camera and photography began to compete with his craft when he was a realist painter. His illustrations were designed to be understood quickly. "Painting and illustration cannot be mixed, one cannot merge from one into the other," he said in 1908.He is the father of Andrew and the grandfather of Jamie. Wyeth was born in Massachusetts in the early 20th century. <mask>th came to Massachusetts from England in 1645. The oral histories of prominent participants in the French and Indian Wars, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the American Civil War were passed down to Wyeth and his family in order to provide subject matter for his art. His maternal ancestors came from Switzerland, and his mother was acquainted with two literary giants. His artistic talents seem to have come from her. He and his brothers spent a lot of time outdoors, hunting, fishing, and doing chores on their farm.His varied youthful activities and his naturally astute sense of observation later aided the authenticity of his illustrations and obviated the need for models. His mother was fond of art. By the age of twelve, he was doing excellent watercolor paintings. He went to Mechanics Arts School to learn drafting, and then Massachusetts Normal Art School, now Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where painting instructor Richard Andrew advised him to become an illustrator. <mask>th lived in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, after studying with Howard Pyle. The Saturday Evening Post had an illustration of a bucking bronco on the cover in 1903. He described his work as "true, solid American subjects" that year.It was a great achievement for the 20-year-old Wyeth, who just a few months ago was under the guidance of Pyle. In 1904, the same magazine commissioned him to illustrate a Western story, and he was urged to go West to acquire direct knowledge like Zane Grey did for his Western novels. He was a cowboy in Colorado, working alongside professional "punchers", moving cattle and doing ranch chores. He gained an understanding of Native American culture when he traveled to Arizona and New Mexico. He worked as a mail carrier between the Two Grey Hills, NM trading post and Fort Defiance, AZ, to get back home after his money was stolen. He wrote, "The life is wonderful, strange, and the fascination of it clutches me like some unseen animal, it seems to whisper, 'Come back, you belong here, this is your real home'." He brought home costumes and artifacts, including cowboy and Indian clothing, after a second trip two years later.The images of cowboys and Native Americans that dramatized the Old West were inspired by his early trips to the western United States. After returning to Chadds Ford, he painted a series of farm scenes for Scribner's, finding the landscape less dramatic than that of the West but still a rich environment for his art. One of his most successful images of rural life was his painting Mowing. <mask> was married to <mask> in 1906. They moved to Chadds Ford in the early 20th century. Andrew, Henriette, <mask>, Ann, and <mask>. Wyeth were all children of the Wyeths. F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the frequent visitors.Andrew said that his father was a strict but patient father who did not talk to his children. His family was able to follow their own artistic and scientific interests because of his hard work as an illustrator. Andrew became one of the foremost American artists of the second half of the 20th century, and both Henriette and <mask> became artists as well. <mask> worked on the team that invented the plastic soda bottle. Henriette and Ann were married to two of the same man. Jamie and Michael are the children of the artist and musician <mask>. By 1911, he moved away from Western subjects to illustrating classic literature.Robert Louis Stevenson's illustrations are thought to be his best group of illustrations. His house and studio were paid for by the proceeds of the set's success. Kidnapped, Robin Hood, The Last of the Mohicans, Robinson Crusoe, The White Company, and The Yearling were all illustrated by him. Century,Harper's Monthly, Ladies' Home Journal, Outing, The Popular Magazine, and Scribner's were some of the periodicals he worked for. He battled internally over his capitulation, accusing himself of having "bitched myself with the accursed success in skin-deep pictures and illustrations". He complained of money men who want to buy him piecemeal, and that an illustration must be made practical, not only in its dramatic statement, but it must be a thing that will adapt itself to the engravers' and printers' limitations. That underlying inspiration is killed by this fact.The outward thought or imitation of that feeling is what you do instead of expressing that inner feeling. Posters, calendars, and advertisements for clients such as Lucky Strike, Cream of Wheat, and Coca-Cola were done by Wyeth. He painted murals for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Westtown School, the First National Bank of Boston, the Hotel Roosevelt, the Franklin Savings Bank, the National Geographic Society, and other public and private buildings. He provided patriotic images to government and private agencies during World Wars I and II. The Franklin Inn Club is in Philadelphia. The style of his paintings changed dramatically as he triedimpressionism in the 1910s, followed by the principles of the divisionist painter Giovanni Segantini in the 1930s. His son, Andrew, was introduced to that medium by his son-in-law.Wyeth worked fast and often worked on a larger scale than was necessary to fulfill his grand vision. He could paint a large painting in three hours. In June 1945, he received a degree from Bowdoin College. The National Academy, the Society of Illustrators, the Philadelphia Water Color Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Philadelphia Art Alliance, the Chester County Art Association, and the Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts were all members of the National Academy. In October 1945, Wyeth and his grandson were killed when the automobile they were riding in was struck by a freight train at a railway crossing near his Chadds Ford home. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company commissioned a series of murals depicting the Pilgrims at Plymouth, which were created by <mask> and <mask>. There are significant public collections of Wyeth's work in Chadds Ford, Maine, and Rockland, Maine.The N. C. Wyeth House is located in Chadds Ford. His home and studio are open to the public. His studio is the same place he left it, with the same colors he used on the day of his death. Stevenson, R. L. - Kidnapped (Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1913) The Mysterious Island was written by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, in 1918. (Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1920) Defoe, D.

title: Han Han

texts: <mask> is a Chinese professional rally driver, best-selling author, singer, creator of Party, One, and China's most popular blogger. He is represented by the Hong Kong-based Peony Literary Agency, which has published five novels by him. He is involved in music production. Time magazine named <mask> one of the most influential people in the world. New Statesman listed <mask> at 48th place in the list of "The World's 50 Most Influential Figures 2010". In June 2010, <mask> was interviewed by CNN as China's rebel writer who has become the unofficial voice for his generation. <mask>'s first essay was published when he was in junior middle school.He was admitted to the Song Jiang No. Two high schools were based on his sporting achievements. <mask> won the first prize in China's New Concept Writing Competition with his essay, Seeing Ourselves in a Cup, on the Chinese national character. <mask> was retained for a year in school after failing seven subjects. There was a heated debate on China's "quality education" policy after this incident was reported in the media. <mask> quit school after failing seven subjects in the senior middle school exams. One Degree Below Freezing is one of the essays that <mask> worked on after dropping out of school.His essays were published. <mask>'s first novel, Triple Door, was published when he was a third-year junior school student in Shanghai. Over twenty million copies of this novel have been printed in China in the last 20 years. Like a Speeding Youth, Riot in Chang'an City, A Fortress, Glory Days, and His Kingdom were also published during this time. <mask> became a professional rally driver due to his love of racing. He continued to write about current affairs, with some articles attracting a large number of readers and sparking intense debates. <mask>'s personal online following is the largest in China with over 300 million hits.In February 2005, a Hollywood movie was planned with the script to be based on Chinese writer Xie <mask>'s novel, Dysmenorrhoea, and filming to take place in a northern Chinese city. The Chinese partner company recommended <mask> for the role of the male lead because of his image. <mask> told media outlets that he wouldn't accept the invitation, but that he had yet to receive it. He said, "It doesn't matter that this is a Hollywood movie, as my decision would depend on who's playing the female lead." <mask> laughed and said, "This makes it even more difficult for me, I will not play such a role." <mask> is involved in music production. His debut album, R-18, was released in September of 2006 with all lyrics self-composed.He was the product ambassador of Oneplus in China. Bai Ye, a Chinese literary critic and bookseller, published a post entitled, Status and Future of the Post-80 Generation, a harsh criticism of the works of writers born in the 1980–1989 period. <mask> wrote an article called TheLiterary Circle is Bullshit, Don't Act F**king Pretentious. The "<mask> controversy" grew out of this exchange, with both sides arguing on issues such as the post-80 classification, whether the works of post-80s qualified as literature and whether post-80 writers should be considered real writers. Bai published an online article in March of 2006 stating that <mask>'s articles in this exchange had crossed the boundaries of literary debate into the realm of humiliation and personal attack. The debate was the focus of the online community for a time. <mask> debated with some people.The debate ended with Bai, Lu Tianming, Lu Chuan, and Gao shutting down their personal websites. The value of modern Chinese free verse was questioned by <mask> in a September 2006 article. (). In this and other related articles, he parodied modern Chinese poets, sparking a controversy involving poets such as the Lower Body Poet and Yi Sha. Lower body poets were angry. The genuine novelists can never sell more than <mask>'s work. This is the best choice for writers and poets.<mask> still hates all of them. When the newspaper called him for an interview, he said he wouldn't talk about human's sense to a donkey. On 10 April 2007, <mask> criticized rock singer Zheng Jun's capriciousness, sparking a debate between the two. In 2006 Zheng condemned the Super Girl singing competition as being "unbearably disgusting", but participated in the judging for a similar competition Super Boy. A team of ghostwriters produced most of <mask>'s work, according to a claim made by a former Baidu employee. <mask>'s father, <mask>, a literature enthusiast who was forced to leave university due to his condition of Hepatitis B, was said to have produced Triple Door. Mai accused Lu Jinbo of leading a ghostwriting team that produced and published most of <mask>'s work, as well as questioning how <mask> was able to become a nationally acclaimed writer while maintaining fitness to participate in many high-level rally races.<mask> categorically denied the claims in a post dated 16 January 2012 and Mai Tian apologized to <mask> on 18 January 2012 after removing the post from his website. On 16 January 2012 the Chinese scientific author and anti-fraud crusader Fang Zhouzi published a post in which he agreed with Mai Tian and raised questions on the plausibility of <mask>'s works. Fang continued to insist that <mask>'s work was produced by people other than himself. <mask> sued Fang for defamation on January 29, 2012 after denying his claims. <mask> is said to have sued a man who forwarded an article claiming that <mask>'s work was produced by a team of ghostwriters. <mask> withdrew his prosecution a few days after the Putuo courthouse accepted his prosecution.

His grandfather, a Jewish emigrant from Austria, became a garment worker and participated in several strikes in New York City. <mask> was a Teamster at the time of his daughter's birth. <mask> stuffed newspapers into shoes to strengthen soles and block holes in the uppers.The Pressers could not afford the rent and the family moved into an apartment at the beginning of the month and out at the end of the month. <mask> was a member of Jimmy Hoffa's team and quickly rose through the ranks. He was a vice president of the international union. <mask> was a member of the Cleveland mob. By his own account, Presser's childhood was a happy one. He was influenced by his family's poverty and anti-semitic prejudice. Presser dropped out of school when he was in the eighth grade.He used his father's connections to get a job delivering juke boxes. When he was 17, Presser enlisted in the Navy and served in World War II. After the war, Presser got a job as a truck driver for a vending machine company. After a year as a truck driver, Presser was hired as a union organizer by Local 10, a Cleveland affiliate of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union. <mask> was elected president of Local 10 in 1948. He merged his local with four other unions to improve their collective bargaining position.

The investors built an upscale sports club and restaurant on the property that was secured by a loan from the Central States Pension Fund. The pension fund lost more than $265,000 when the project went bankrupt.At this time, Presser underwent a personal transformation. He stopped wearing loud clothing and began liking conservative suits. He was unsuccessful in his attempt to lose weight and ended up weighing more than 300 pounds for the rest of his life. <mask> gave his son a charter to start a new union. Local 507 was established by Presser at a local paint company. Presser hired a number of organizers, and Local 507 quickly organized 6,000 workers in dozens of plants and warehouses in the Cleveland area. The <mask> brothers were some of the most powerful men in the union.The father-son combination led the conference. The Ohio Conference quickly became a model for providing social services, engaging in union-member communications, and undertaking effective political activity thanks to the help of <mask>. The Teamster's Central States Pension Fund is one of the richest and most influential pension plans in the nation. In 1976, Presser was elected an international vice president. <mask> resigned his vice presidency after he was convicted of extortion and obstruction of justice. According to court testimony, <mask> and the Cleveland mob agreed on a successor. <mask> met with Roy Lee Williams, the president of the Central Conference of Teamsters, who was in charge of union locals in 14 Midwestern states.Williams, who was working with the Kansas City crime family, agreed to help Presser convince Fitzsimmons to make a vice president. The election was unanimous. As an international vice president, <mask> pushed for a massive public relations campaign to improve the union's image. The union began sponsoring football games on the radio in 1977 after obtaining authorization for a $250,000-a-year advertising campaign. <mask>, Fitzsimmons and 17 other Teamster leaders were forced to resign as trustees of the Central States Pension Fund.

He was both the secretary-treasurer of Local 507 and the international vice president of the union. The father and son of Frank Fitzsimmons became informers for the federal government. <mask> was indicted by the federal government. Jimmy Hoffa had been released from federal prison and was trying to regain the presidency of the Teamsters. Three men offered the IRS incriminating evidence about Hoffa and others in the union. If the DOJ dropped the indictment against the senior Presser, the Pressers would give their evidence.The IRS was told that the Pressers had evidence of illegal activities by Fitzsimmons. The DOJ refused to drop the indictment of <mask> because the IRS was not receptive to the offers. Fitzsimmons contacted White House chief counsel Charles Colson, who was the Nixon administration's liaison to labor groups, in order to get a meeting with the president. Embarrassed, IRS and FBI agents interviewed Presser in late 1972. Presser spent the rest of his life as an FBI informer after his information was verified. The FBI gave the presser $2,500 a month for providing information. One of the Bureau's most prized sources was Presser.<mask> Presser became involved in mafia affairs. The leaders of the Chicago mafia were told that he was willing to do favors for them in exchange for money and assistance. Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratianno, a former hitman in the Cleveland crime family and later acting head of the Los Angeles crime family, testified that Chicago crime boss <mask> Presser, he said he Fratianno testified that he colluded with Presser to set up a union dental program that was used to skim money from the Mafia's bank accounts.Presser was under the control of the Cleveland crime family. Fears for his safety were caused by Presser's involvement with organized crime. There was a battle for control of the Cleveland mafia in 1976. The Cleveland mob boss died without a successor being named. John Nardi, a high-ranking Teamster leader, formed a coalition to take control of the Cleveland crime family. James "Blackie" Licavoli was against them. Licavoli was involved in the murders of Nardi and Greene.Presser thought he was next. The FBI gave Presser a small radio transmitter that could be used to blow up a car. A large contingent of muscular bodyguards who accompanied him everywhere he went was hired by <mask>. Despite being armed with a radio device and surrounded by guards, Presser moved from hotel to hotel every few days until the gang war ended. In 1977 Presser tried to get political favors from Jimmy Carter. Fratianno testified that Presser asked him to find someone who could persuade Carter to put pressure on DOJ, DOL and the FBI in criminal investigations or to secure pardons for Presser associates. Fratianno claimed that William Marchiondo met with Presser.Fratianno believed that Marchiondo and Apodaca had Carter's ear because they had supported the president's candidacy early in the 1976 primary season. <mask> <mask>. During Reagan's 1980 campaign for president, Presser was one of Reagan's hosts at a private luncheon for Teamster and other union leaders and escorted Reagan to private meetings with Teamster officials. Reagan named <mask> to his transition team after the November 1980 presidential election. The media reported that <mask> was the object of a DOL civil suit for financial malfeasance and that he had links to organized crime. Reagan and his advisors were unaware of the accusations, and Presser denied having any ties to organized crime.

Reagan aides said the issue was over because the transition team had finished its work. The U.S. Department of Labor began investigating Presser in 1981 after receiving allegations he had padded the Local 507 payroll with "ghost employees." A secret affidavit detailing the government's actions was filed in 1982. Frank Fitzsimmons announced on April 15, 1981 that he was stepping down as president of the Teamsters due to worsening health. There were reports that a fight for the presidency was under way, with <mask> <mask> mentioned as possible successors.Presser decided to support Williams instead of being a candidate. Pete Camarata, a dock worker from Detroit, Michigan, and co- founder of the Teamsters for a Democratic Union, was against Williams. When TDU activists picketed the Teamster convention at which Williams was elected, Presser declared the picketers "an ever-changing cast of union drop-outs, college students, aimless Transients and an elite group of zealots who clearly have the clout over the sign carriers." He referred to Camarata as "Commie-Rat-A" many times. Camarata accused Presser of hiring a group of people to intimidate delegates and cause violence. During the convention, Presser was asked if he supported the reaffiliation of the union. He told the press that his attitude was negative.<mask> died of a heart attack in June. At the June convention, where he was re-elected as an international vice president, <mask> Presser was a government Informant came on August 22, 1981. According to the August 31 issue of Time magazine, Fitzsimmons, <mask> <mask> were government spies in the early 1970s to avoid prosecution. Declassified reports were filed by IRS agents. Presser said that he, his father and Fitzsimmons had only met with federal agents in 1972.The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that court documents and law enforcement officials confirmed that <mask> and his father had served as government spies while taking $300,000 in kickbacks from a Las Vegas public relations firm. The report was categorically denied by Presser. Despite protests from reporters, the editors at the Plain Dealer withdrew the story. The mob's confidence in Presser was renewed after the retraction of claims that he was an Informant. When the Justice Department ended its investigation into the alleged kickback scheme, the mob's confidence in Presser was restored. In February 1983, <mask> was re-elected to the international union's policy committee. Roy Williams was found guilty of conspiring to bribe the U.S.Senator Howard Cannon. Williams will step down as president of the Teamsters while he appeals his conviction. Presser was not surprised by Williams' conviction. The Justice Department received extensive information on Williams from Presser. Williams had arranged to give Sen. Cannon a parcel of land as a bribe in order to defeat trucking deregulation legislation. According to reports, a ferocious fight erupted over Williams' successor. A successor to Williams would have to be elected at the Teamster convention.Other candidates for the presidency were reported to be M.E. The president of the statewide organization in California is Andy Anderson, the president of the statewide organization in Florida is Joseph Morgan, the president of the large local in Chicago is Don Peters, and the secretary-treasurer of the international union is Ray Schoessling. According to the press, Presser had formed an alliance with Anderson, which gave him enough votes to win the presidency. There was no internal fight. After Williams' resignation announcement, the mafia families in Chicago, Cleveland, and other cities on the East Coast met and picked Presser to lead the Teamsters. Presser was not preferred by organized crime figures initially. The mob leaders met with mafia officials throughout the country to build support for a Presser presidency.At a meeting in a Chicago hotel, the final decision was made. Shortly after the mob meeting, Presser told the FBI that he had the support of all the East Coast families and that he would be the next Teamsters' president. The president of the Teamsters was elected on April 21, 1983. He promised to re-inspire the union, organize new members, and end trucking deregulation. He didn't have an opinion on whether the Teamsters should rejoin the union. Presser told his FBI contacts that anyone who wanted to do business with him had to go through the mob. William J.
