title: Wang Chi-chen

texts: <mask> was a Chinese-born American literary scholar and translator. From 1929 to 1965, he was a professor at Columbia University. <mask> was born in Huantai County. Chi-chen's father <mask> achieved the Jinshi degree, the highest level of the civil service exams, and was a county magistrate in Guangdong, where he lived for several years. Chi-chen entered the middle school affiliated with Tsinghua University in Beijing in 1913 after studying the Confucian classics at home. He received a Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Program scholarship after graduation. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1922 with an A.B.In economics. He attended Columbia University's business and journalism schools and the Graduate Faculties of Political Science, Philosophy and Pure Science. <mask> did not study for a higher degree because he was not a good student. He had a wife who later bore him a son, but he was more interested in pursuing girls. He came in conflict with American missionaries and the values of what he called western "enterprise, pugnacity, and dead-in-earnestness". The task of saving "the Heathen Chinee" was made more difficult by the "growing sense of nationalism" after the Treaty of Versailles, as he argued that Chinese religion was non-sectarian and pragmatic. <mask> was a research assistant at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and a faculty member at Columbia University.He went back to China in 1929 and 1935 to visit his family. A highly regarded novelist and short-story writer was introduced to him by a poet on his 1929 visit. The two of them continued to correspond in the following years. <mask> taught classical language and literature at the Columbia Asian studies faculty in the 1930s. As a child of the Revolution, Theodore de Bary was a bit cynical and less inspiring as a lecturer. His specialty was as a translator of modern literature, and though allergic to all talk of grammar, he would spend long hours in training sessions with those determined to benefit from his fine command of both Chinese and English. <mask> expected his students to be proficient in both Chinese and English if they were native speakers.One of his students, Burton Watson, who would become anEminent translator, recalled taking an advanced course with <mask> in 1950, reading two essays from the Shiji in classical Chinese. "You mean you don't even know that character?" he asked. Or 'What kind of English is that?' The hours spent with him that year left me with the conviction that one must do so in a way that reads like natural English in order to translate such texts. Through the years, this conviction has informed my work as a translator of Chinese and Japanese. A Columbia student who went on to a successful academic career said that <mask>-chen's translations were what first interested her in Lu Xun. Mills thought he would be in danger of McCarthyite reprisals after <mask> resigned from her committee.His friend, C.T<mask> began a correspondence with Chen Jo-hsi, a Taiwan author. She lived on the Chinese mainland during the Cultural Revolution and wrote stories about her life there. Chen said they became friends across the generation gap after they met. <mask> gave her advice when she was revising her book, Execution of Mayor Yin. Hsia succeeds him. <mask> was married to two people, first to Bliss Kao and then to Yang Dalai.<mask> was the most successful Lu Xun translator in the early years, and he made American-English versions of sixteen pieces which are accurate and refined.

title: Dale Wasserman

type: paraphrased

texts: <mask> was an American playwright. <mask> was born in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, the child of Russian immigrants Samuel and Bertha Paykel, and was orphans at the age of nine. He was living in an orphanage with his older brother in South Dakota. He said he was a self-educated hobo. My entire adolescence was spent as a hobo, riding the rails and living on top of buildings in downtown Los Angeles. I didn't receive a formal education. I got a real education about human nature.From the age of 19 he worked in various aspects of theatre. After one year of high school in Los Angeles, his formal education ended. He started as a self-taught lighting designer, director and producer after working with musical impresario Sol Hurok, who he claimed to have invented lighting patterns that were copied by other dance companies. He directed and produced in places such as London and Paris. In the middle of directing a Broadway musical, which he later refused to name, he abruptly walked out and left his previous jobs to become a writer. Only the writer was the primary. In 1955, Matinee Theatre received a collective Emmy for the plays it produced, which included his first play, Elisha and the Long Knives.He is one of the better known writers in the Golden Age of Television. "Man of La Mancha," which first appeared as a straight play on TV, is not an adaptation of "Don Quixote." The work uses scenes from "Don Quixote" to illuminate the life of the author. The Man of La Mancha was <mask>'s Man of La Mancha. Man of La Mancha is performed in more than 30 languages. <mask> adapted Ken Kesey's novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest into a play which ran for six years in San Francisco and has had extensive engagements in Chicago, New York, Boston and other U.S. cities. France, Mexico, Sweden, Argentina, Belgium, and Japan have hosted foreign productions.<mask> is said to have been told by Kesey that the novel would be forgotten. The artistic Director of the Midwest Playwrights Laboratory was a founding member and Trustee of The Eugene O'Neil Theatre Center. Howard Mancing discovered an earlier use of the line "To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe" in Man of La Mancha. The lines were created for an earlier stage adaptation of Don Quixote by the American playwright Paul Kester. The phrase "To each his Dulcinea" was first used in the Kester play. "Players in the Game", set in 1316 Prague, poses the question: Is fiery, incorruptible zealotry necessarily to be preferred to benign corruption? At the time of his death, <mask> had some fine and thought-provoking work ready to be produced. The musical "Montmartre" is set in Paris in the early 20th century and features two main characters, one of which is the most sought-after model of her day.Because it's the one State which refuses to adopt Daylight Saving Time, Wasserman and his wife made their home in Arizona. <mask>'s first marriage ended in divorce. Martha Nelly was married to him in 1984. She is his EXECUTRIX and holds the rights to his work. On December 21, 2008, <mask> died of heart failure at the age of 94. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest was a novel by Ken Kesey. The film was nominated for an Academy Award.Jack Nicholson has a different recollection of the original production. Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was adapted for the American stage in 1963, but the playscript was not used as the basis for the film. A sailor on a drunken spree welds items from a junkyard into the mast of his ship. A plane blowing up creates an all-powerful weapon and world peace. The arrival and subsequent disappearance of a young boy is the subject of an investigation. The world premiere of Open Secrets took place in Ventura, California. Man of La Mancha won multiple Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and is one of the longest-running Broadway musicals of all time.I, Don Quixote was a non-musical written for television. Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Ernest Borgnine, and Alexander Knox starred in The Vikings. Cleopatra, along with several others, did not receive screen credit for 1964 Quick, Before It Melts a comedy from a novel by Philip Benjamin, directed by Delbert Mann and starring George Maharis and Robert Morse. Evan Hunter's novel Mister Buddwing was directed by Delbert Mann and starred James Garner andAngela Lansbury. A man awakens in Central Park and finds himself without a name, status, or civilized connection. He was given a name: Buddwing by a passing beer truck and plane. John Huston directed A Walk with Love and Death, which was written by Hans Koningsberger.The film Man of La Mancha was directed by Arthur Hiller. One of the best television scripts of the year, "Irviing Settel," which was written by <mask>, was shown in 1955. The series began before 1955, not when <mask>'s work was shown on them. The Matinee Theatre is also known as the "Elisha and the Long Knives" theater. "The Fog" is not related to the John Carpenter film or its recent remake. Wasserman received his only Emmy nomination for this television play, but did not win. "Circle of Death" and "Stranger" are true.A boy is almost hit by a car at night. The passengers of the car stopped to see if the boy was all right because of his strange behavior. There is a boy on Blacktop Road. "As to awards, I have received the usual quota of Emmys." I don't attend awards ceremonies and so don't receive knick-knacks by mail, so I'm unsure of the number. I appeared in cap and gown to address the audience in the football stadium at Madison, because I had hopped my first freight at the age of 25. Irony should not be wasted.The Writers Guild of America Award 1959 Television anthology, More Than a Half Hour: winner of the Tony award for Musical: Man of La Mancha.

While working with CFCF, he came up with the idea of experimenting with different sounds on the album. "I never want to lose contact with the original piano instrument, but we have so many tools now to treat it differently than to just have the instrument on its own, so why not use them, and how?"

title: Robin Olds

texts: <mask> was an American fighter pilot and general officer in the United States Air Force. He won 17 victories in World War II and the Vietnam War. After 30 years of service, he retired as a brigadier general. Olds epitomized the youthful World War II fighter pilot because of his upbringing in the early years of the United States Army Air Corps. He was one of the pioneer jet pilots of the United States Air Force, despite being at odds with its leadership. Olds is considered to be the best wing commander of the Vietnam War for both his air-fighting skills and his reputation as a combat leader. Olds was promoted to brigadier general after returning from Vietnam.He spent the rest of his career as an official in the Air Force Inspector General's Office and as the Commandant of Cadets at the United States Air Force Academy. His penchant for drinking and maverick views make him unable to rise higher as a general officer. Olds had a career and life that was well known. He was named an All-American as a lineman in college football as a young man, as well as being recognized for his athletic prowess in both high school and college. <mask> was born into an army family in Honolulu, Hawaii, on July 14, 1922, and spent most of his childhood in Virginia. His father was an instructor pilot in France during World War I and an advocate of strategic bombing in the Air Corps. <mask> was raised by his father after his mother died.His paternal half-brothers were born from his father's third marriage to Helen and an older maternal half-brother, Carter. Olds was very familiar with the small group of officers who would lead the U.S. Army Air Force in World War II. During Billy Mitchell's court-martial in Washington, D.C. on November 10, 1925, his father appeared as a witness. He brought <mask> with him to court, dressed in an Air Service uniform, and posed with him for photographers before testifying. Olds first flew in an open cockpit biplane at the age of eight. Olds decided at the age of 12 that he wanted to become an officer in the military, as well as playing football, and attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His father was promoted to lieutenant colonel on March 7 after being made commander of the pioneer Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress 2nd Bombardment Group.Olds played football for the team that won the state championship of Virginia in 1937 and was elected president of his class for three years in a row. As a player, Olds received offers to attend Virginia Military Institute and Dartmouth College on football scholarships. Olds went to a school in Washington, D.C. to get ready for the entrance exams to the military academies after graduating from college. Olds tried to join the Royal Canadian Air Force but his father wouldn't approve his enlistment papers. Olds applied for admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Olds moved to Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where he lived in the YMCA and worked odd jobs. He was accepted into the Class of 1944 after passing the West Point entrance exam.After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, <mask> was sent to the Spartan School of Aeronautics in Oklahoma for flight training. The training ended a year later. <mask> went to West Point to graduate early and see action in the war. Olds played football on a freshman squad that started the season with three losses but finished with three wins and a losing season. The head coach was replaced by Colonel Earl "Red" Blaik, who had recruited <mask> in 1939. <mask> played for the college football team in 1941 and 1942. He was 6 feet 2 inches in height and weighed 205 pounds, playing tackle on both offense and defense.Army's record in 1941 was 5–3–1, with wins over The Citadel, VMI, Yale, Columbia, and West Virginia, and losses to Harvard, Penn, and Navy. The attack on Pearl Harbor followed the loss to the midshipmen. He was named the "Lineman of the Year" and the "Player of the Year" by Grantland Rice in 1942. Olds was selected as an All-American as the cadets compiled a 6–3 record, beating Lafayette College, Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, VMI, and Princeton, and falling to Notre Dame, Penn, and Navy. Olds had his upper front teeth knocked out when he received a forearm blow to the mouth while making a tackle in the Army–Navy Game of 1942. When wartime travel restrictions prevented the Corps of Cadets from attending the game, the Navy Third and Fourth Classes were assigned as the Army cheering section. <mask> was a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.Olds were disturbed by the tendency of many tactical officers to distort the purpose of the Honor Code at West Point. After returning from leave in New York City, Olds was braced by an officer and forced to admit that he had consumed alcohol. Olds characterized him as the second cadet in the history of West Point to earn that dubious honor after he was demoted from cadet captain to cadet private. He graduated in June. Olds used the Honor Code as an instrument for integrity rather than as a tool for enforcement of discipline when he became the Commandant of Cadets at the Air Force Academy. Olds was contemptuous of alumni networking and went out of his way to hide his West Point background during his Academy years. The academy began a three-year curriculum for Cadets entering after July 1939 after an act of Congress on October 1, 1942.Cadets applying to the Air Corps were classified as Air Cadets, with a modified curriculum which provided flying training but eliminated Military Topography and Graphics required for Ground Cadets. Olds' class was given a second class course of study until January 19, 1943, when it began a first class course. During the summer of 1942, Olds completed primary training at the Spartan School of Aviation in Oklahoma and basic and advanced training at Stewart Field, New York. Five of Olds' classmates died in accidents. On May 30, 1943, Olds received his pilot's wings and was a member of the Class of June 1943. The 329th Fighter Group is an operational training unit based at Grand Central Air Terminal in California. The first twin-engine training he received was in the AT-9, followed by transition fighter training to the P-38 Lightning.In the first half of August 1943, he was assigned to P-38 phase training at Muroc Army Air Field, California. On December 1, 1943, <mask> was promoted to first lieutenant. He was assigned to build up the newly activated 434th Fighter Squadron and its parent 479th Fighter Group. The 479th built its skills as a combat group by logging 650 hours of flying time during training, including 250 hours in the P-38 Lightning. The ship left the Los Angeles area on April 15 and arrived in New Jersey on May 3. The 479th arrived in Scotland on May 14, 1944, and was entrained in England the next day. The 479th began combat on May 26, flying bomber escort missions and attacking transportation targets in occupied France.The olds flew a new P-38J Lightning. T/Sgt. Olds' crew chief. Glen A. Wold said that he learned emergency servicing under him. He wanted his aircraft to be wax to help his maintenance crew carry out their tasks. Olds became a flight and later squadron leader on July 24. Olds shot down his first German aircraft, a pair of Focke-Wulf Fw 190s, after a low-level bridge-bombing mission to Montmirail, France. On an escort mission to Wismar on August 23, his flight was on the far left of the group's line abreast formation, flying north at the same altitude in a loose formation of three large ve.They climbed to altitude above and behind the Germans after <mask> turned his flight left. <mask> and his wingman dropped their fuel drop tanks and attacked, even though the second part of the flight had been unable to keep up. In the excitement of the attack, <mask> neglected to switch to his internal fuel tanks and both engines of his P-38 quit from fuel exhaustion. He continued attacking in "dead-stick mode", hitting his target and shooting off part of its engine. He resuscitated his engines after killing the Bf109. Olds shot down two during the dogfight and one on the way home to become the first ace of the 479th FG despite damage to his own plane. He concluded his combat report by observing a P-51 and an Me109 going round and round in a shallow dive.I started down because it seemed that the 38 needed help. The Jerry, who was way out of my range, turned under me and to the right. I followed him and gave him a burst at long range. I was traveling a lot by this time. I was scared out of me by the left window blowing out. I saw some ground fire in the vicinity and thought I had been hit. I pulled out of the wheat field after regaining control of the aircraft.I tried to contact the flight to get my attention, but they passed me by at seven o'clock. The Jerry overshot when I broke left as well as my plane could. I gave him a burst when I straightened out. He moved to the left and I shot some more. I slipped in an Immelmann after he passed over me. I saw the pilot bail out when I straightened out at the top. <mask> retells the story of the P-38 needing help in Dogfights S1EP2.He says he went on into the fight and got another one. I have no idea where the North American P-51 mustang came from. The Narrator says that the P-51 is being chased by two Bf 109s. Olds dove too fast to help. He was subject to compressibility because of this. He regained control of his P-38 after reaching the denser air at lower altitudes. Excess G forces caused his canopy window to blow out.He said he pulled out of a wheat field near the town of Rostock. He was one of the few that had recovered from a compressibility event. "After that I had enough, I was ready to go home", but a string of tracer fire across his nose brought him back into the fight, as a Bf 109 dove from behind on him. He decided to risk it all and flat planes. While pulling hard on the yoke. The air combat equivalent of locking the brakes is what made him shutter into a high speed stall. As the Bf109 passed beneath him, he rolled the nose down and fired, taking the Bf109 out before heading home.There is a link at the end of this sentence to the History Channel's Collections vault. He made eight claims while flying the P-38, five of which are sustained by the Air Force Historical Research Agency. The 479th FG converted to the P-51 mustang in September. The power of the single-engined fighter forced Olds to ground after he landed at the point of touchdown. Olds shot down an Fw 190 in his new Scat VI during a battle near Berlin in which he was almost shot down by his own wingman. On November 9, 1944, he completed his first combat tour, accruing 270 hours of combat time and six kills. Olds began a second tour at Wattisham on January 15, 1945, after returning to the United States for a two-month leave.He was the operations officer of the squadron. On February 9, 1945, <mask> was promoted to major and won his seventh victory. On February 14, he claimed three victories, two Bf 109s and an Fw 190, but one of the latter was credited only as a "probable". <mask>' final World War II aerial kill occurred on April 7, 1945, when he led the 479th Fighter Group on a mission. The only combat appearance of the German Air Force squadron was during the engagement. Olds noticed that there were aircraft flying above and to the left of the bombers. The 479th held the station while the bogeys paralleled the bomber stream for five minutes.Olds saw pairs of Me 262s dive on the Liberators. After damaging one of the jets in a chase meant to lure the fighter escort away from the bombers, the Mustangs returned to the bomber stream. The olds saw a Bf109 of SonderKommando Elbe shoot down the bombers. The Bf109 was shot down by olds. The attacks on Lbeck Blankensee and Tarnewitz airdromes on April 13, and Reichersberg airfield in Austria on April 16, earned Olds the bulk of his strafing credits. I was hit by flak as I was pulling out of a dive-strafing pass on an airfield called Tarnewitz, up on the Baltic. The P-51s made a pass at the airdrome.When I tested the stall characteristics of my wounded bird over our home airfield, I found it quit flying at a little over indicated and rolled violently into the dead wing (note: the right flap had been blown away and two large holes knocked in the same). What to do? The logical response was to bail out, but sentiment got in the way of reason. The bird and I survived the careening, bouncing and juttering ride down the length of the field because I was damned if I was going to give up on her. <mask> was given command of his squadron less than two years after graduating from West Point and at a young age. He was credited with the downing of 13 German planes by the end of his combat service. <mask> became an ace on both of his combat tours and was twice awarded the Silver Star, for the mission of August 25 and for the achievements of himself and his squadron during his combined tours.<mask> was the only pilot to make ace in both the P-38 and P-51. After the war, <mask> was assigned to West Point as an assistant football coach for Red Blaik. <mask> was resented by many on the staff for his rapid rise in rank and plethora of combat decorations, so he was transferred in February 1946 to the 412th Fighter Group at March Field, California. The Air Force's first jet aerobatic demonstration team was formed by him and Lieutenant Colonel John C. "Pappy" Herbst. The 412th was ordered to go on a mass formation flight. The highlight of the trip was a three-day layover in Washington, D.C., where <mask> and Herbst performed a two-ship aerobatic routine. Olds was one of four pilots who took part in the first round trip jet flight from March Field to Washington, D.C.The jet demonstration performances with Herbst ended tragically on July 4, 1946, when Herbst crashed at the Del Mar Racetrack after his aircraft stall during an encore of their routine finale in which the P-80s did a loop while configured to land. Olds took second place in the Thompson Trophy Race (Jet Division) of the Cleveland National Air Races over the Labor Day weekend. Six P-80s competed against each other on a three pylon course in the first closed course jet race. <mask> went to England under the U.S. Air Force/Royal Air Force Exchange Program. He flew the jet fighter. The first foreigner to command an RAF unit in peacetime was 1 Squadron at Royal Air Force Station Tangmere. Olds became operations officer of the 94th Fighter Squadron of the 1st Fighter Group on November 15, 1949, after returning to March AFB following his exchange assignment.The 71st Fighter Squadron was detached from the 1st FG and based at the

title: Robin Olds

texts: Greater Pittsburgh Airport in Pennsylvania. He didn't serve in the Korean War because of his missed service. <mask> was seen as an iconoclast by the Air Force and was about to resign when he was talked out of it by his mentor, Maj Gen Frederic H. Smith Jr. Olds was promoted to colonel on April 15, 1953, just thirty years after graduating from West Point, and served in several staff assignments until he returned to flying in 1955. The 86th Fighter-Interceptor Group was commanded by Olds from October 8, 1955 to August 10, 1956. He was made chief of the Weapons Proficiency Center at Wheelus Air Base, Libya, in charge of all fighter weapons training for the United States Air Force Europe. Between 1959 and 1962 <mask> was the deputy chief of the Air Defense Division at the Pentagon.He prepared a number of papers, iconoclastic at the time, which soon became prophetic, including identifying the need for upgraded conventional munitions, and the lack of any serious tactical air training in conventional warfare. From November 1959 to March 1960, his section worked hard to develop a program reducing the entire structure of the ADC with the purpose of generating $6.5 billion for classified funding to develop a new aircraft. <mask> graduated from the National War College in Washington D.C. after his Pentagon assignment. <mask> became commander of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing on September 8, 1963. The 81st TFW was a major combat unit that supported NATO with both nuclear and conventional bombing. The wing was commanded until July 26, 1965, by olds. The first African-American 4-star Air Force general, Colonel Daniel "Chappie" James Jr., was brought with him by his deputy commander of operations.James and Olds developed a professional and social relationship after working together for a year as a command team. Olds formed a demonstration team for the F-101 using pilots of his wing, without command authorization, and performed at an Air Force open house. He claimed that his superior at Third Air Force tried to have him court-martialed, but the commander of USAFE, General Gabriel P. Disosway, instead authorized his removal from command of the 81st TFW, cancellation of a recommended Legion of Merit award, and transfer to He would have retired from the Air Force if he had refused the promotion. Disoway arranged the staff assignment to get him to a command assignment in Southeast Asia. <mask> was appointed to command an F-4C Phantom wing in Southeast Asia in 1966. The 4453rd Combat Crew Training Wing, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, was where he arranged for Col. James to be checked out in the Phantom, completing the 14-step syllabus in just five days.His instructor was Major William L. Kirk, who was one of Olds' pilots and later commanded the United States Air Force Europe. Kirk accompanied Olds for practice firing of AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles on the Point Mugu missile range while Olds was on his way to a charter flight overseas. Kirk was given a transfer to his command in Thailand in March 1967. The 8th Tactical Fighter Wing was based at Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base. The lack of aggressiveness and sense of purpose in the wing led to the change in command. The 44-year-old colonel set the tone for his command stint by immediately placing himself on the flight schedule as a rookies pilot, then challenging them to train him properly because he would soon be leading them. Olds brought in Daniel James Jr. to replace an ineffective deputy commander for operations, creating arguably the strongest and most effective tactical command triumvirate of the Vietnam War."Blackman and Robin" is a nickname for the Olds-James combination. James became the 8th TFW Vice Commander in June 1967. Olds took to the air war over North Vietnam in an F-4C Phantom he nicknamed "Scat XXVII", in keeping with his previous combat aircraft that all carried the "Scat" name. Olds was directed to plan a mission to draw the North Vietnamese MiG-21s into an aerial trap after suggesting the idea to the Seventh Air Force commander, Major General William Momyer. In October 1966 strike force Republic F-105 thunderchiefs were equipped with radar jamming Pods that ended their losses to surface-to-air missiles. SAM attacks shifted to the Phantoms because of a shortage of Pods. In order to protect the F-4s, the rules of engagement that allowed the MiG Combat Air Patrol to escort the strike force in and out of the target area were revised in December.The threat to the force was perceived to be serious as a result of the increase in MiG-21s using high-speed hit-and-run tactics against bomb-laden F-105 formations. The Bolo plan thought that by using the call signs and communications codewords of the F-105 wings and flying their flight profiles through northwest Vietnam, the F-4s could effectively mimic an F-105 bombing mission. The mission was scheduled for January 1, 1967. When the bogus strike force began arriving over the target area, five-minute intervals separated the flights, despite the poor weather. Olds was leading the first flight and was on a second pass when MiGs began popping up through the cloud base. It quickly became apparent that the MiGs were ground-controlled intercepts that were designed to place the F-105s in a vise between enemies. The F-4s and their crews, however, proved equal to the situation and claimed seven MiG-21s destroyed, almost half of the 16 then in service with the VPAF without loss to USAF aircraft.Olds and the other aircrew were awarded Silver Stars for shooting down one of the seven. Two MiG-21s were shot down on January 6 after follow-up intercepts against RF-4C aircraft led to a similar mission on a smaller scale. The main goal of the operation was to eliminate or diminish the threat of MiGs to the strike formations. On May 4, Olds destroyed another plane. Two weeks later, on May 20, he destroyed two MiG-17s in what one of his pilots described as a "vengeful chase" after they shot down his wingman during a large dogfight, bringing his total to 16 confirmed kills (12 in World War II and four in Vietnam) Olds states that he didn't shoot down a fifth plane because he was told in the middle of June that Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown wanted him to. In his memoirs, Olds denied further MiG kills, but in an interview with Oliver North he stated "I was only in nine more fights."Nothing worked. In his memoir Olds, he recalls that on June 5, before he learned of Secretary Brown's directive, he nearly had a fifth kill anyway, but the much-despised and unreliable AIM-4 Falcon he launched went ballistic after it initially guided toward the tailpipe of his MiG target Olds pp. He was awarded a fourth Silver Star for leading a three-aircraft low-level bombing strike on March 30, 1967, and the Air Force Cross for an attack on the Paul Doumer Bridge in Hanoi on August 11, one of five awarded to Air Force pilots for that mission. He flew over North Vietnam in 1967. 105 of his combat missions were over North Vietnam. The National Museum of the United States Air Force is located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.A 47% recovery rate was achieved by 34 aircrew who were rescued. There were 18 combat losses in the vicinity of Hanoi. Olds' Olds was known for his mustache, which was non-regulation and extravagant. Olds used his mustache as a gesture of defiance because it was a common superstition among airmen to grow a "bulletproof mustache". The kids loved it. Everyone grew a mustache. Olds started the mustache in the wake of the success of Bolo and let it grow beyond regulation length.With higher headquarters on rules, targets, and fighting the war, the mustache became my silent last word in the verbal battles. The end of this flamboyance was marked by returning home. McConnell stuck a finger under his nose when he reported to his first interview with the Air Force Chief of Staff General. Olds said, "Yes, sir." Olds said that he wasn't all that fond of the order, but that it had become a symbol for the men of the 8th Wing. I was aware that McConnell understood. During his visits to Ubon over the past year, he was amused by the variety of clothes worn by many of the troops.It was the most direct order I had ever received. A new Air Force tradition, "Mustache March", in which aircrew, aircraft maintainers, and other airmen worldwide show solidarity by a symbolic, albeit good-natured "protest" for one month against Air Force facial hair, was inspired by the incident with the mustache. We weren't allowed to fight. There wasn't much attention paid to strafing, dive-bombing, rocketry. It was thought to be unnecessary. In the Cold War years, every confrontation America faced was a 'bombs and bullets' situation, raging under an uneasy nuclear standoff. The need to teach tactical warfare and have fighter pilots was caused by the Vietnam War.We weren't allowed to practice or learn it, so we were unprepared. Olds lamented the lack of an internal gun in the F-4C he flew during his tour in Vietnam, but would not allow his fighters to be equipped with the gunpods then available. He knew that he would be able to use them effectively, but he didn't know that his pilots weren't trained to use guns or fight dogs. The drag of the Pod would degrade the performance characteristics of the F-4 while not gaining it any advantage against the more maneuverable MiG-17s and MiG-21s, which would result in unnecessary losses strafing worthless targets, and reduce the number of bombs carried by the Phantoms. The first episode of The History Channel's dogfights series, "Air Ambush", was recreated using computer animation. The season 2 episode "No Room For Error" recreated his fourth kill in Vietnam. The olds appeared as a commentator.After relinquishing command of the 8th TFW on September 23, 1967, <mask> reported for duty to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in December 1967. In the wake of a cheating scandal, he was the commandant of cadets for three years. On June 1, 1968, <mask> was promoted to brigadier general. In February 1971 he began his last duty assignment as director of aerospace safety in the Office of the Inspector General, Headquarters USAF, and after December 1971 as part of the Air Force Inspection and Safety Center, a newly activated separate agency located atNorton Air Force Base, California. Olds oversaw the creation of policies, standards, and procedures for Air Force accident prevention programs. Olds was sent to Southeast Asia in 1971 to determine the state of readiness of Air Force pilots. The USAF bases in Thailand were visited by olds and they brought back a blunt assessment.He reported that Air Force pilots couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag because of a lack of interest. He warned that the losses would be severe if aerial combat resumed. Ryan reflected his disagreement after he expressed surprise at the assessment. In 1972, American fighter jets returned to the skies over North Vietnam for the first time in four years after the start of the Operation Linebacker bombing campaign. The Navy and Marine Corps fighters enjoyed great success immediately after reaping the benefits of their TOPGUN program. The Air Force's fighter community was struggling with a kill-loss ratio of more than one. Olds offered to take a voluntary reduction in rank in order for the Inspector General to return to operational command.<mask> decided to leave the Air Force when the offer was not accepted and he retired on June 1, 1973. <mask>' ribbons appeared at retirement. The President of the United States of America presented the Air Force Cross to Colonel <mask>. Colonel <mask> led his strike force of eight F-4C aircraft against a key railroad and highway bridge in North Vietnam. Despite intense, accurately directed fire, multiple surface-to-air missile attacks on his force, and continuous harassment by MiG fighters defending the target, Colonel <mask>, with undaunted determination, indomitable courage, and professional skill, led his force through to help destroy this significant bridge. The flow of war materials was reduced as a result. Colonel <mask> reflected the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship, and aggressiveness in the face of hostile forces.The Golden Plate Award was given to <mask> in 1968. <mask> was a stepbrother of Gore Vidal after <mask>' father married for the fourth time in June 1942. His father died of pneumonia on April 28, 1943, after being hospitalized for pericarditis. <mask> graduated from West Point at the age of 46. <mask> and Raines met on a blind date in Palm Springs. They were married in Beverly Hills on February 6, 1947, with one of them having a daughter. Her husband has three children from a previous relationship.Their 29-year marriage was turbulent because of a clash of lifestyles, particularly her refusal to ever live in government housing. The marriage of <mask> and Ella Raines ended in divorce in 1976. <mask> and Barnett divorced after fifteen years of marriage. <mask> served on the city's planning commission after retiring from Steamboat Springs. In 2005 and 2006 he made 21 public speaking events. People's love for alcohol was well known. <mask>' heavy drinking hurt his post-Vietnam career according to John Darrell Sherwood in his book FastMovers: Jet Pilots and the Vietnam Experience.<mask> was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and resisting arrest near his home in Steamboat Springs. Olds pleaded guilty in return for the charges of weaving and felony vehicular eluding being dropped. Olds was placed on one year of supervision, and was ordered to pay fines and costs, attend an alcohol education course, and perform 72 hours of community service. <mask> was in the National Aviation Hall of Fame Class of 2001 along with test pilot Joe H. Engle, Marine Corps ace Marion E. Carl, and Albert Lee Ueltschi. He was the only person to be in both the College Football Hall of Fame and the National Aviation Hall of Fame. <mask> died in Colorado in March of 2007. He died of heart failure in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, a month before his 85th birthday.On June 30, 2007, he was honored with a flyover and services at the United States Air Force Academy, where his ashes are housed. Two days before <mask>' funeral, the Class Exemplar of the Academy Class of 2011 began Basic Cadet Training, the first step towards becoming Air Force officers.

title: Jean-Didier Vincent

texts: Jean-<mask> from 1991 to 2004. He is a member of both the French Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Medicine. In the Gironde department of Bordeaux,<mask> was born. He is the son of a wine broker. His master intended him to study literature at the cole normale supérieure after he graduated from a Protestant college.His parents encouraged him to study medicine at the cole du Service de Santé des Armées de Bordeaux. He majors in physics, chemistry and biology. Jacques Faure encouraged him to do research when he was an intern in clinical services. Professor without a chair and professor of physiology at the Bordeaux Faculty of Medicine, as well as a hospital biologist and functional explorations at the CHRU of Bordeaux, are some of the things thatVincent did. From 1992 to 2003 he was the Director of the Alfred-Fessart Institute in Gif-sur-Yvette. He is a Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of Paris-Sud, as well as a Hospital Physician at the Kremlin-Bictre Hospital. He signed the appeal in 1988.He did his research in the US at the Brain Institute of the University of California, Los Angeles and then in France. The President of the National Council of Programmes at the Ministry of National Education is Jean-DidierVincent. He was a member of the Executive Board of the Foundation for Political Innovation until January 2009. The neuroscience of hormones and the nervous system has been influenced by the scientific contributions ofVincent. In the film La Possibilité d'tre Humain, he stated that he believed in the primacy of the biological over reason. Biologie des passions, La et le diable is one of the books he has published. He defends a dynamic above the sexual dynamics of love in his book.He suggests that the idea of women's property was born during the sedentarization of the Neolithic era. The complexity of sexual systems is designed to frame the reproductive rules of each species. In his book Bienvenue en Transhumanie, he criticizes a lack of morality that is necessary around this radical transformation of the genome. He believes that sexuality can be stimulated by directly stimulating the parts of the brain that are affected by reproduction. Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, member of the French Academy of Sciences, and member of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium. The Biologie des passions was written by Odile Jacob. He has five children.A new test likely to diagnose trisomy 21 in early pregnancy was discussed during the program Polemics On Down's syndrome on 5 October 2012 on France Inter. He claimed that Down's syndrome is a poison in a family. Jean-DidierVincent withdrew the statement, which was considered "violent" by the host, without apologizing. léonore Laloux, a young woman with Down's syndrome, responded to the biologist in a video and book. During the same program,<mask> defended Monsanto, saying that it has rendered great services to agriculture, and that it has increased productivity. He said about Jean-Marie Le Pen, "We knew him as the white wolf, he was a bastard, but I can't say it on the record." He was sentenced to a suspended fine of 1,500 and 4,000 by the Paris Court of Appeal after being found guilty of insult and defamation.Members of the French Academy of Sciences are alumni of the cole Normale Supérieure.

title: George W. Maher

texts: <mask> was an American architect during the first quarter of the 20th century. He blends traditional architecture with the Arts & Crafts-style and is considered part of the Prairie School-style. In his time, his influence on the Midwest was as great as that of <mask>. His work showed a lot of freedom and originality, and his interiors were notable for their open and flowing space. In 1916, he was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. <mask> was born in Mill Creek, West Virginia, but moved with his parents to New Albany, Indiana, where he attended public schools. The exact date of when the family moved to Chicago isn't known.The federal census shows that the <mask> family is still living in New Albany. A city directory shows that <mask> was working for the Chicago architectural firm of Augustus and Henry Hill. He joined the office of Silsbee as a draftsman and worked with Frank Lloyd <mask> and <mask> Elmslie. A partnership with Cecil S. Corwin lasted for only a short time before he resumed his own practice. The couple moved to Illinois in the late 19th century. He designed his own home in 1893. He designed about 40 homes in the area.He designed the entrance to the village as well as a number of other public adornments. Hutchinson Street on Chicago's North Side lakefront is one of the largest concentrations of his work. He was active in organizations interested in exploring new ideas in architecture and design and wrote about his views on architecture from the start of his career. One of the first papers he would write was titled "Originality in American Architecture." He became a founding member of The Chicago Arts and Crafts Society because of his interest in the English Arts and Crafts movement. He was involved in the meetings and exhibitions of the Chicago Architectural Club, a group that was at the center of activity of the Prairie movement in Chicago. The influence of Silsbee and H.H was reflected in early work by <mask>.Richardson, Sullivan, and others were part of the Chicago School. J.L. and <mask> met in 1893. The community of Edgewater would eventually become part of Chicago. After designing a series of houses for Cochran, <mask> established his career and reputation. One of the most important designs was the John Farson House in Oak Park, Illinois. The Prairie School style of architecture was created by <mask> in this house. One of the earliest Prairie style buildings, its design concept proved to be extremely influential in its time and was widely copied throughout the Midwest.Many houses were designed for clients ranging from middle class businessmen to wealthy society figures. The success of the Farson house led to large commissions. James A. Patten had a large mansion built for him in 1901. The Swift Hall of Engineering and the original Patten Gymnasium were both designed by <mask>. The Driehaus Museum is currently housed in the Nickerson House, which was renovated in 1901. The large estate for Harry Rubens was built in Illinois in 1903. The landscaping for the Rubens estate was designed by Jens Jensen.The P.J. is one of the other projects. The King House from 1901, the Rath House from 1907, and the Colvin House from 1909 are all Chicago landmarks. By the time of the Farson House commission, he had developed a personal style. His career was well established by 1897. The Prairie style came at a time when Louis Sullivan's work was still the dominant influence for the developing group of architects, with <mask>'s Prairie houses still several years in the future. While many of the others worked directly for <mask> or Sullivan, he never did, which may have been part of the reason his design work would follow a more independent path throughout his career. The English Arts and Crafts movement and the Vienna Secession were some of the ideas that inspired <mask>'s designs around 1904.At a time when <mask>'s work was becoming more influential among his peers, he created designs that set his work apart. The Corbin House was built in 1904, followed by houses such as the Lackner House and the Schultz House. In order to produce a design unity throughout the building and its interior, <mask> developed a theory called Motif-Rhythm. A local flower, a geometric shape, or a combination of the two would be repeated throughout the design. The leading forms that influence the detail of the design must be evolved to become the motifs that bind the design together. At Rockledge, the summer house he designed in 1911 for Ernest and Grace King in Homer, Minnesota, he was also commissioned to design the interior furnishings for the house. The furniture, clocks, lamps, rugs, and even the tableware that was designed were sold before the house was torn down, as examples of Arts and Crafts design.While he is known for his residential work, he also designed commercial and institutional buildings. The Swift Hall of Engineering is one of the most well known of these, as it was designed by the same man as the original Patten Gymnasium. The administrative headquarters of the J. R. Watkins Medical Company was one of the notable projects. The Winona Saving Bank was built in 1914–16. The Prairie School movement began to decline in the mid teens as clients' tastes and interests changed, forcing many of its followers to turn in other directions. It meant increasing pressure to design in the eclectic styles then in vogue. He was involved in organizations trying to improve the profession of architecture.He was president of the state chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 1918. A number of architects that went on to have distinguished careers were produced by the office of the man who had worked for Silsbee, the man who had worked for the man who had worked for the man who had worked for the man who had worked for the man who had worked for the The firm became known as "George W. Maher & Son" after his son joined as a partner. The firm produced a number of projects in Gary, Indiana and the Chicago area in the early 1920s. His final work was commissioned by the Gary Heat, Light, and Water Company. He was asked to design a new warehouse. The last set of drawings held his name and architectural registration.He designed over 270 projects by the time of his death. He took his own life on September 12, 1926, after several years of declining health. He committed suicide at the age of 61. Work Frank G. Ely House, Kenilworth, Illinois. The John Farson House, also called Pleasant Home, Oak Park, Illinois, was destroyed by fire in 1918. The King House is in Chicago, Illinois and the James A. Patten House is in Saint Davids, Pennsylvania.

title: Arthur Laurents

texts: <mask> was an American playwright, theatre director, film producer and screenwriter. After writing for radio shows and training films for the U.S. Army during World War II, <mask> turned to writing for Broadway, producing a body of work that includes West Side Story and Hallelujah, Baby! He directed some of his own shows and Broadway productions. Rope was written by Alfred Hitchcock, followed by Bonjour Tristesse, The Way We Were, and The Turning Point. <mask> was the son of middle-class Jewish parents, his father a lawyer and his mother a teacher, who gave up her career when she married. He was the elder of two children and attended the high school in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. Edith suffered from chorea as a child.His paternal grandparents were Orthodox Jews and his mother's parents were not. His mother kept a kosher home for her husband's sake, but she was not allowed to attend synagogue or observe the Jewish holidays. His Bar Mitzvah marked the end of his religious education and the beginning of his rejection of all fundamentalist religions, although he continued to identify himself as Jewish. He changed his last name to <mask> to get a job. At New York University, Laurents took an evening class in radio writing. The Columbia Workshop series produced Now Playing Tomorrow, a comedy about clairvoyance, on January 30, 1939, with Shirley Booth in the lead role. It was his first professional credit.He was hired to write scripts for various radio shows after the show's success. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in the middle of World War II. Through a series of clerical errors, he was assigned to the U.S. Army Pictorial Service located in a film studio in Queens, where he wrote training films and met, among others, George Cukor and William Holden. He was assigned to write plays for a radio show that dramatized the contributions of all branches of the armed forces. John Clum said that Laurens was always a mirror of his times. One can see a staged history of left-wing, gender, and gay politics in the decades after World War II through his best work. After graduating from Cornell University in 1937, <mask> went to work as a writer for radio drama at CBS in New York.His military duties during World War II brought him into contact with some of the best film directors, including George Cukor, who directed his first script. During World War II, <mask>'s work in radio and film was an excellent apprenticeship for a budding playwright and screenwriter. He was based in New York City. Home of the Brave was his first stage play. The sale of the play to a film studio gave Laurents the entree he needed to become a Hollywood screenwriter, though he continued to write plays. Rope is the most important of his early screenplays. After being discharged from the Army, Laurents met a ballerina, and the two became involved in an on-again, off-again romantic relationship.While Kaye was on tour with Fancy Free, <mask> continued to write for the radio. Barbra Streisand became a star after he directed I Can Get It for You Wholesale, which he wrote nine nights in a row. His next project was the stage musical Anyone Can Whistle, which he directed and wrote, but it was a flop. He had success with the musicals Hallelujah, Baby! Nick & Nora, which he directed, was not a success. In 2008, <mask> directed a Broadway revival of "gypsy" starring "Patti LuPone", and in 2009, he directed a bilingual version of "West Side Story" with Spanish translations. He noted that the musical theatre and cultural conventions of 1957 made it impossible for the characters to be authentic.Ben Brantley of The New York Times called the translations "an only partly successful experiment" after the production's March 19 opening at the Palace Theatre. David Saint was the assistant director on the Broadway production. The Spanish lyrics and dialog were reduced from 18% to 10%. His first Hollywood experience was a disappointment. The Snake Pit was written by Frank Partos and Millen Brand, but the director hired Laurents to rewrite it. Partos and Brand insisted the majority of the shooting script was theirs, and produced carbon copies of many of the pages the Laurents actually wrote to bolster their claim. The Writers Guild of America denied him screen credit because he didn't have a way to prove most of the work was his.Brand apologized for his role in the deception after he confessed he and Partos had copied scenes. He was ineligible for health benefits because he didn't accumulate enough credits. He didn't get the one he wanted for The Snake Pit. After hearing 20th Century Fox was pleased with his work on The Snake Pit, Alfred Hitchhiker hired him for his next project, a film starring James Stewart. Rope is a British play by Patrick Hamilton. Laurents was happy to accept the assignment with his then-lover, Farley Granger. His dilemma was how to make the audience aware of the fact that the three main characters are homosexual.The Hays Office kept close tabs on his work, and the final script was so discreet that he was unsure if James Stewart ever realized that his character was gay. In the late 1960's and 70's, he was asked to script both Torn Curtain and Topaz, but he declined both of them. Bonjour Tristesse and Anastasia were written by Laurents. The Way We Were and The Turning Point were both directed by Herbert Ross, who was Barbra Streisand's husband. The live-action film of the same title was the basis for the Fox animated feature film. <mask> was called to Washington, D.C., to account for his political views because of a casual remark made by Russel Crouse. He explained to the House Un-American Activities Committee that his appearance had no impact on his career since it was primarily in the theatre.When the McCarran Internal Security Act was passed in 1950, Laurents and Granger immediately applied for and received passports and left for Paris with Harold and his wife. They traveled throughout Europe and northern Africa for about 18 months. Look Ma, I'm Dancin' was developed years ago by Laurents and Robbins. Nancy Walker and Harold Lang starred in a stage musical about the world of ballet that ran for 188 performances on Broadway. The musical was eventually produced with a book by Lawrence and Lee.

There are some things that do not have the same sense of color or intimacy if they are not spoken in Nation language. When it's the only way to get my point across, I use nation language to say what I mean. To interrupt and disrupt standard English as a reminder to myself that I have another tongue, but also to shock readers to listen and read more carefully, to glean from the language of the Caribbean that I am always pushing, sometimes subtly, other times more forcefully. I can use nation language to make the poem smell and look like home.

title: R. M. Ballantyne

texts: <mask> wrote more than a hundred books. He exhibited his water-colours at the Royal Scottish Academy. <mask>, the ninth of ten children and the youngest son, was born in Edinburgh on April 24, 1824. Alexander was a newspaper editor and printer in the family firm of "Ballantyne & Co" based at Paul's Works on the Canongate, and <mask>'s uncle James was the printer for Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. The family lived at 20 Fettes Row in the northern New Town of Edinburgh. The collapse of the Ballantyne printing business in the year 1824 resulted from a UK-wide banking crisis and led to a decline in the family's fortunes. He worked for the Hudson's Bay Company for five years.The basis of his novel The Young Fur Traders was his experience as a trader of furs with the local First Nations and Native Americans. He started writing letters to his mother after he was longing for family and home. "To this long-letter writing, I attribute whatever small amount of facility in composition I may have acquired," said Ballantyne in his autobiographical Personal Reminiscences in Book Making. <mask> returned to Scotland in 1847 to find that his father had died. His first book, Hudson's Bay: or, Life in the Wilds of North America, was published the following year and he was employed by the publishers. He gave up business in 1856 to focus on his literary career and began a series of adventure stories for young people. The Young Fur-Traders (1856), The Coral Island (1857), The World of Ice (1859), Ungava: a Tale of Eskimo Land (1857), The Dog Crusoe (1866), The Lighthouse (1866), Deep Down (1866), the pirateThe hunters. The tale of the wilds of Africa is similar to The Coral Island. Early in the same year, Paul du Chaillu's exploration appeared. One mistake he made in The Coral Island, in which he gave an incorrect thickness of coconut shells, caused him to attempt to gain first-hand knowledge of his subject matter. He spent time with the tin miners of Cornwall while researching for Deep Down, and he lived with the lighthouse keepers at the Bell Rock before writing The Lighthouse. He had three sons and three daughters with Jane Grant. After his life in London, he moved to Italy for the sake of his health, possibly suffering from Ménire's disease.He was buried in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome after he died. A plaque commemorates Ballantyne at "Duneaves" on Mount Park Road. <mask> Stevenson was one of the men influenced by Ballantyne. He based portions of his famous book Treasure Island on themes found in Ballantyne because he was so impressed with the story of The Coral Island.
