type: original

texts:
<mask> (born 25 November 1965), also known by the nickname <mask>, is a former Republic of Ireland international footballer and football coach. He scored nine goals in 26 international games for the Republic of Ireland, and was a squad member for UEFA Euro 1988, the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and the 1994 FIFA World Cup. A forward, he scored a total of 250 goals in 744 league and cup appearances in a 19-year career in professional football. As a child, <mask> suffered from Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease, but recovered to win a move from non-league Alvechurch and turn professional at Walsall in 1983. He was named in the 1986–87 Third Division PFA Team of the Year, and scored a hat-trick in the 1988 play-off final to secure the club promotion out of the Third Division. He was sold to West Ham United for £600,000 in August 1988, but struggled for form before being sold on to Leicester City for half that sum in March 1990. He then moved on to Newcastle United for a fee of £250,000 in December 1991.He helped Newcastle to avoid relegation out of the Second Division in 1991–92 and then win promotion into the Premier League as champions of the newly-renamed First Division in 1992–93. He remained in the First Division however, having been signed by Wolverhampton Wanderers for a £750,000 fee in June 1993. He top-scored for Wolves in 1994–95, before he was purchased by Sunderland for £900,000 shortly before they won promotion as champions of the First Division at the end of the 1995–96 season. He dropped back into the First Division after joining Tranmere Rovers for £350,000 in 1997, and spent three seasons with Rovers, playing on the losing side of the 2000 League Cup final. Following brief spells with Sheffield United, Motherwell, and Mansfield Town, he finished his career at Derry City, winning the 2002 FAI Cup in his final match as a player. He remained within football after retiring as a player, and went on to coach at Tranmere Rovers, Sheffield United, Preston North End, Derby County, Walsall, Scunthorpe United, and Port Vale. Club career

Walsall
<mask> was diagnosed with Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease at the age of five, and at one stage his left leg was four inches shorter than the right leg, and he was on crutches until the age of ten.He played football for Bartley Green Boys regardless, and was attached to West Bromwich Albion before he was released by Albion, at which stage he worked as a trolley porter at Cadbury's whilst representing the youth team at non-league side Alvechurch. He joined Walsall following a successful trial in 1981, and turned professional at the club under Alan Buckley two years later. He scored three goals in six Third Division games in the 1983–84 season, before winning a regular first team place in the 1984–85 campaign, scoring 13 goals from 41 appearances. He provided ten goals from 28 league games in the 1985–86 campaign, before his career took off under new manager Tommy Coakley; he top-scored with 26 goals from 55 appearances as the "Saddlers" posted an eighth-place finish in 1986–87, and was named in the Third Division PFA Team of the Year. He then scored 30 goals from 54 matches in the 1987–88 season as Walsall won promotion via the play-offs in 1988; he scored a hat-trick in the replay of the 1988 play-off final as Walsall beat Bristol City to achieve promotion. He went on to have a week-long trial at Bayern Munich, but did not join the club despite Uli Hoeneß reportedly comparing him to Denis Law. He scored a total of 82 goals in 190 league and cup appearances over the course of five seasons at Fellows Park, and the transfer fee received for him remains a club record.West Ham United
His exploits attracted the attention of West Ham United, who signed him for a fee of £600,000 in August 1988. He made his debut in a 4–0 defeat to Southampton. His stay at the Boleyn Ground proved to be largely unsuccessful as an initially promising strike partnership with Leroy Rosenior floundered as he scored only six goals in 25 First Division games as John Lyall's "Hammers" suffered relegation in 1988–89. <mask> also failed to find form for the club under new boss Lou Macari in the Second Division, scoring just two goals in 24 matches of the 1989–90 campaign. Leicester City
<mask> was sold to <mask>'s Leicester City for a fee of £300,000 in March 1990. He recaptured his form at Filbert Street, scoring seven goals from just ten games in the latter stages of the 1989–90 season. He then top-scored with 15 goals from 48 games to help new "Foxes" boss Gordon Lee avoid relegation out of the Second Division in 1990–91.They mounted a challenge for promotion under the stewardship of Brian Little in 1991–92, though <mask> would leave the club midway through the season. Newcastle United
<mask> was signed to Second Division Newcastle United in December 1991 after manager Osvaldo Ardiles agreed a fee of £250,000. He scored 11 league goals for the "Magpies", including the winning goal over Tyne–Wear derby rivals Sunderland, as they avoided relegation in 1991–92. He was then the club's top-scorer with 28 goals from 57 games as Kevin Keegan steered Newcastle to promotion into the Premier League as champions of the First Division. In his final game for United, on the last day of the season against his old club Leicester City, <mask> and new strike-partner Andy Cole both scored hat-tricks in a 7–1 win at St James' Park. He was named as Newcastle United's Player of the Year, but was allowed to leave the club due to the return of Peter Beardsley. <mask> remained a highly popular figure at Newcastle, even commanding a standing ovation upon returning to St James' Park in Sunderland colours.Wolverhampton Wanderers
<mask> did not make the move back to the top-flight with Newcastle as he was transferred to First Division side Wolverhampton Wanderers in June 1993 after manager Graham Turner paid £750,000 to secure his services. He hit 14 goals from 44 games in the 1993–94 season, as Wolves posted an eighth-place finish. New manager Graham Taylor then took Wolves to fourth place in 1994–95, with <mask> top-scoring with 22 goals in 54 appearances, breaking Steve Bull's run of eight consecutive seasons as Wolves's top-scorer. However, he lost his first team place at Molineux to Don Goodman early in the 1995–96 season and requested a transfer. Sunderland
He signed a three-year contract with Sunderland after moving in a £900,000 deal in September 1995. However an ankle injury restricted him to two goals in ten league matches as manager Peter Reid led the "Black Cats" to promotion into the Premier League as champions of the First Division in 1995–96, and he was transfer-listed in the summer. He remained a regular player at Roker Park in the 1996–97 campaign but failed to score a single goal all season, often being used as a right-sided midfielder rather than a striker.Tranmere Rovers
<mask> returned to the First Division after securing a £350,000 move to Tranmere Rovers in August 1997. John Aldridge's "Superwhites" managed to secure mid-table finishes in his three seasons at Prenton Park, as he scored 14 goals from 37 games in 1997–98, six goals from 29 matches in 1998–99, and 15 goals from 46 appearances in 1999–2000. He was appointed as club captain soon after joining. He featured prominently in the club's run to the 2000 League Cup Final, and scored the consolation goal in a 2–1 loss to former club Leicester City at Wembley Stadium. He was released by Tranmere in July 2000 after failing to agree a new one-year contract. Later career
<mask> moved to Neil Warnock's Sheffield United on a free transfer at the start of the 2000–01 season. However his one season at Bramall Lane was not a success, as he scored just six goals in 35 league games.In June 2001, he turned down a coaching role at United and instead signed a two-year contract with Billy Davies's Motherwell in the Scottish Premier League. However, he was sacked on 15 January 2002 following a bust-up with new manager Eric Black. Two weeks later he accepted an offer of a three-month contract to return to the English league in the Third Division with Mansfield Town. He scored four goals in 17 games as Stuart Watkiss's "Stags" leapfrogged Cheltenham Town in the race for the final automatic promotion place. <mask> left Field Mill after being released in April 2002. He went on to train with Telford United, but rejected the club's offer of a contract. He went on to cross the Irish Sea to join Derry City in July 2002.In his final game of professional football, <mask> helped the "Candystripes" to a 1–0 victory over Shamrock Rovers in the 2002 FAI Cup final. International career
<mask> was born in England but was eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland because his father was born in Dublin. He scored a hat-trick on his debut in a 5–0 win over Israel at Dalymount Park on 10 November 1987, becoming only the fifth player to score a hat-trick for the Republic of Ireland. He went on to score nine goals from 26 international caps, and was selected by manager Jack Charlton in the squads for UEFA Euro 1988, the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and the 1994 FIFA World Cup. He also scored against England in what became known as the Lansdowne Road football riot on 15 February 1995, which was abandoned due to rioting by Combat 18. He was unable to play in the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualification play-off fixture with Belgium after picking up an ankle injury. Belgium won 3–2 on aggregate, and <mask> never represented Ireland again.Coaching career
After retiring as a footballer, <mask> was appointed as assistant manager to Ray Mathias at Tranmere Rovers in October 2002. He walked out on the club to work as Neil Warnock's assistant at Sheffield United in July 2003, to which Tranmere responded by threatening legal action; United had made a formal approach to Tranmere, but <mask> resigned after Tranmere rejected the approach. He was announced as Billy Davies's assistant at Preston North End in September 2004. He remained at Deepdale after Davies was sacked and replaced by Paul Simpson in June 2006. He was named as assistant manager to Davies at Derby County in July 2007, a few weeks after the club achieved promotion to the Premier League. He left the club just four months later when Davies left the club by mutual consent following a disastrous start to the 2007–08 season. <mask> followed Davies to Nottingham Forest, again being named as assistant manager in January 2009.He took charge of one game in October 2010 after Davies was absent due to illness. He left Forest along with Davies in June 2011. He returned to former club Walsall as Dean Smith's assistant in January 2013. However, he left the club after just nine days to assist Billy Davies, who had just been re-appointed as Nottingham Forest manager. He and Davies were sacked by Forest in March 2014, and he settled out of court with the club over alleged unpaid bonuses and for breach of contract. After taking charge at Scunthorpe United in October 2014, Mark Robins appointed <mask> as his assistant. The pair were sacked in January 2016.He was brought in to assist caretaker-manager Michael Brown at Port Vale in December 2016. On 16 September 2017, Brown was sacked following seven games without a win, and <mask> and Chris Morgan were installed as caretaker-managers. The duo took charge of four games, before departing the club when Neil Aspin was appointed as manager on 4 October. He was appointed as the new development coach at Northampton Town in June 2019.

<mask> has been named in Show Racism the Red Card's Hall of Fame. In the 1990s he started a golf business with his former Walsall manager, Tommy Coakley. Statistics

title: Emperor Shunzong of Tang

texts:
<mask> of Tang (February to March 761 – February 11, 806), personal name Li Song, was an emperor of the Chinese Tang Dynasty. He was created crown prince in 779 and became emperor in 805 after the death of his father <mask>, of whom he was the oldest son. His reign lasted less than a year, as, due to his illness, the powerful eunuchs were able to get him to approve a transfer of the throne to his son Li Chun, who took the throne as Emperor Xianzong. Emperor <mask> was honored with the title of Taishang Huang (retired emperor). He died in 806, with some later historians suspecting that he was murdered by the eunuchs who arranged for Emperor Xianzong's succession. During his short reign, <mask> and his close associates Wang Shuwen and Wang Pi employed individuals such as Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Han Ye (), and Han Tai (), in trying to reform and rejuvenate the administration. His reforms, intended to strengthen imperial power over regional warlords and eunuchs, were later known as the Yongzhen Reformation (), named after his era name of Yongzhen.While Emperor <mask>'s associates lost power after his yielding of the throne, Emperor Xianzong's subsequent reign was known for its reassertion of imperial power. Background
Li Song was born in 761, during the reign of his great-grandfather Emperor Suzong, at the Eastern Palace (i.e., the palace of his grandfather Li Yu, then Crown Prince) at the Tang Dynasty capital Chang'an. His father Li Kuo was Li Yu's oldest son, and he himself was Li Kuo's oldest son. His mother was Li Kuo's consort Lady Wang (who was later empress). Early in his life, he was created the Prince of Xuancheng. In 779, after the death of Li Yu (who was then emperor, as Emperor Daizong) and Li Kuo's ascension (as <mask>), Li Song was created the Prince of Xuan. In 780, he was created Crown Prince.As crown prince
Li Song was described to be kind and lenient. He favored the study of arts, and was particularly good at calligraphy. He was also respectful to his teachers and often bowed to them despite his crown prince status. In 781, he married Lady Xiao, the daughter of his grandaunt Princess Gao and her husband Xiao Sheng (), as his wife and crown princess. In 783, when a mutiny by soldiers from Jingyuan Circuit (涇原, headquartered in Pingliang, Gansu) forced Emperor Dezong to abandon Chang'an and flee to Fengtian (奉天, in modern Xianyang, Shaanxi), Li Song accompanied <mask> to Fengtian, and was said to have personally protected Emperor Dezong during the journey to Fengtian, along with his younger brother Li Yi () the Prince of Pu. After the Jingyuan soldiers supported the general Zhu Ci as their emperor (of a new state of Qin), Zhu put Fengtian under siege, and Li Song was said to have personally participated in the defense of Fengtian, including personally encouraging soldiers and attending to the wounded. After the rebellion was put down and <mask> and his family returned to Chang'an, Li Song's position was endangered over an incident involving his grandaunt/mother-in-law Princess Gao.As of 787, the chancellor Zhang Yanshang had discovered that the imperial guard officer Li Sheng () was secretly visiting Princess Gao, and he came to suspect that Li Sheng, whose father Li Shuming () was a political enemy of Zhang's, was having an affair with Princess Gao. Initially, at the advice of another chancellor, Li Mi—who feared that an investigation would taint Li Song—<mask> took no actions against anyone other than to transfer Li Sheng out of the imperial guards to avoid contact with Princess Gao. However, by fall 787, the incident had flared up in public, as accusations were made that Princess Gao, who often visited Li Song's palace, was having affairs not only with Li Sheng, but also with other officials Xiao Ding (), Li Wan (), and Wei Ke (); worse, she was also accused of secretly using witchcraft to curse Emperor Dezong. Emperor Dezong, in anger, imprisoned Princess Gao and became angry at Li Song. Li Song, fearing the taint, divorced Crown Princess Xiao, but Emperor Dezong's anger did not recede, and he considered replacing Li Song as crown prince with Li Yi. At Li Mi's earnest opposition, Emperor Dezong ultimately decided not to do so. The former crown princess was later killed on <mask>'s orders, during a time when Li Song was ill.In 795, after the former chancellor Lu Zhi and several of his associates was exiled due to false accusations by Emperor Dezong's favorite Pei Yanling, the imperial scholar Yang Cheng () led a group of junior officials in petitioning <mask> in protesting Lu's innocence, drawing Emperor Dezong's anger toward them. Emperor Dezong were initially set to punish Yang and the other junior officials, but after Li Song spoke on their behalf, Emperor Dezong did not do so. It was also said that it was Li Song's urging that Pei and another favorite of Emperor Dezong's, Wei Qumou (), who were poorly regarded by the people, were not made chancellors. By 803, Li Song had become close to two of his staff members—Wang Pi, who was also a talented calligrapher, and Wang Shuwen, who was good at playing Go. It was said at that Wang Shuwen's suggestion, Li Song avoided drawing further suspicion from <mask>. (Li Song was set to speak to <mask> against Emperor Dezong's unpopular the Emperor's purchasing ()—where palace eunuchs were effectively requisitioning supplies from merchants while paying no or very little compensation, and Wang Shuwen pointed out that this would cause <mask> to suspect Li Song of trying to be popular at his expense.) At Wang Shuwen's suggestion, Li Song also began to gather a group of junior officials that Wang Shuwen had befriended and considered capable of being important officials and generals in the future, including Wei Zhiyi, Lu Chun (), Lü Wen (), Li Jingjian (), Han Ye (), Han Tai (), Chen Jian (), Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Ling Zhun (), and Cheng Yi, in anticipation of his future reign.In winter 804, Li Song suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed and unable to speak. When subsequently, <mask> became ill as well, members of the imperial family attended to him, but Li Song was unable to do so. This saddened <mask> greatly and caused his own conditions to grow worse, and he died on February 25, 805. Initially, the palace eunuchs expressed the opinion that perhaps Li Song should not succeed to the throne, but after the imperial scholar Wei Cigong () spoke firmly in Li Song's favor, and Li Song, despite his illness, appeared to show that he was not completely incapacitated, he was able to succeed to the throne (as <mask>). Reign
In his illness, <mask> was unable to actually rule on everything submitted to him. He was attended to by the eunuch Li Zhongyan () and his concubine Consort Niu, and it was said that the petitions submitted to him were ruled by him behind a screen. Li Zhongyan, Consort Niu, Wang Shuwen, Wang Pi, and the imperial scholar Wei Zhiyi (who was made a chancellor at Wang Shuwen's recommendation) formed a group who made decisions, with Wang Shuwen making rulings, giving them to Wang Pi to deliver to Li Zhongyan, and then Li Zhongyan issuing edicts in Emperor <mask>'s name approving Wang Shuwen's rulings, for Wei to execute.It was said that Wang Shuwen and his associates, including Han Tai, Liu Zongyuan, and Liu Yuxi were making decisions on personnel matters quickly, depending on their likes and dislikes. Under this system, Emperor <mask> quickly issued a number of orders that were intended to reform certain improper or unpopular measures of Emperor Dezong's reign:

 A general amnesty of taxes previously owed was declared. The "Palace Market" was abolished. The "Five Block Boys" (五坊小兒, imperial servants who had become arrogant over the people) were abolished. The institutions of tributes from regional governors and the central government's salt and iron monopoly bureau were abolished. A number of officials who had good reputation who were exiled by <mask>, including Lu Zhi, Zheng Yuqing, Han Gao (), and Yang Cheng, were recalled (although Lu and Yang died before they could be recalled and were later instead posthumously honored). Wang Shuwen and his associates, however, drew resentment from other officials for their hold on power.They were particularly despised by several eunuchs who were powerful during Emperor Dezong's reign—Ju Wenzhen (), Liu Guangqi (), and Xue Yingzhen (). At the instigations of those eunuchs, the imperial scholars Zheng Yin, Wei Cigong, Wang Ya, and Li Cheng were summoned to the palace for the purpose of drafting an edict to create <mask>'s oldest son Li Chun—who was described to be intelligent and decisive and who was feared by Wang Shuwen's group, particularly Consort Niu—crown prince. Zheng Yin wrote down, "The Crown Prince should be the oldest son" and showed it to <mask>, who nodded. On April 26, 805, the edict was promulgated, and Li Chun was officially installed as crown prince. Meanwhile, Wang Shuwen tried to seize the control of the Shence Army from the powerful eunuchs by putting the senior general Fan Xichao () in command of the Shence Army units on the western border, with Han Tai as Fan's deputy. However, the eunuchs realized this and ordered the Shence Army soldiers not to obey Fan's orders; when Fan arrived at his command, the officers would not even welcome him, and he and Han Tai were forced to return to Chang'an. The eunuchs also reacted by having Wang Shuwen technically promoted—to be the deputy minister of census—but stripped of his status as imperial scholar (which both he and Wang Pi had been made) to make it difficult for him to handle the affairs of state.Wang Shuwen also offended the regional warlords by trying to execute Yang Shi'e () and Liu Pi, two subordinate officials sent to Chang'an to make demands on the central government on behalf of their superiors (the executions were not carried out due to Wei Zhiyi's opposition). Liu Pi's superior Wei Gao, the military governor (Jiedushi) of Xichuan Circuit (西川, headquartered in modern Chengdu, Sichuan), subsequently submitted a harshly worded petition accusing Wang Shuwen and his associates of crimes, and also wrote a letter to Li Chun urging him to take over as regent. Wei Gao's petition was subsequently echoed by other military governors Pei Jun () and Yan Shou (), causing much alarm for Wang Shuwen and his associates. On July 19, Wang Shuwen was forced to leave governmental service when his mother died, to observe a period of mourning for her. Wang Pi made repeated attempts to have Wang Shuwen recalled to serve as chancellor, but his repeated petitions were unheeded. Realizing that their party was near defeat, Wang Pi himself claimed to have suffered a stroke and left governmental service as well. Thereafter, Wang Shuwen's and Wang Pi's other associates began to fall out of power.On August 26, Emperor <mask> issued an edict making Li Chun regent, and on August 31, he issued another edict yielding the throne to Li Chun (as <mask>zong). Emperor <mask> himself took the title of Taishang Huang (retired emperor) while giving Li Chun's mother Consort Wang the title of Taishang Huanghou (太上皇后, "retired empress"). As retired emperor
In winter 805, the hermit Luo Lingze () went from Chang'an to Purun (普潤, in modern Baoji, Shaanxi) and stated to Liu Yong () the prefect of Qin Prefecture (秦州, which had its seat at Purun) that he had an edict from <mask> ordering Liu to start a rebellion to depose <mask> and support a new emperor. Liu arrested Luo and delivered him to Chang'an, where Luo and his associates were caned to death. There is no record in history suggesting that Emperor <mask> approved or knew of Luo's actions. He died on February 11, 806. 14.New Book of Tang, vol. 7. Zizhi Tongjian, vols. 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 232, 233, 235, 236. 761 births

title: Melvin Belli

texts:
<mask> (July 29, 1907 – July 9, 1996) was a prominent United States lawyer, author, and actor known as "The King of Torts" and by insurance companies as "<mask>icose". He had many celebrity clients, including Zsa Zsa Gabor, Errol Flynn, Chuck Berry, Muhammad Ali, The Rolling Stones, Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker, Martha Mitchell, Maureen Connolly, Lana Turner, Tony Curtis, and Mae West. During his legal career, he won over $600 million in damages for his clients. He was also the attorney for Jack Ruby, who shot Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Early life
<mask> was born in the California Gold Rush town of Sonora, California in the Sierra Nevada foothills. His parents were of Italian ancestry from Switzerland. His grandmother, Anna Mouron, was the first female pharmacist in California.By the 1920s, the family had moved to the Central Valley city of Stockton, California, where Belli attended the now-defunct Stockton High School. Belli graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1929. After traveling around the world, he returned to Berkeley and received his law degree from the institution in 1933. Career
Following his admission to the California bar, his first job was posing as a hobo for the Works Progress Administration and riding the rails to observe the Depression's impact on the country's vagrant population. His first major legal victory came shortly after graduation, in a personal injury lawsuit representing an injured cable car gripman. Over insurance lawyers' objections, Belli brought a model of a cable car intersection, and the gear box and chain involved in the accident, to demonstrate to jurors exactly what had happened. Besides his personal injury cases, which earned for him his byname "King of Torts," Belli was instrumental in setting up some of the foundations of modern consumer rights law, arguing several cases in the 1940s and 1950s that formed the basis for later lawsuits and landmark litigation by such figures as Ralph Nader.Belli argued (in cases such as Escola v. Coca-Cola Bottling Co., in 1944, which arose from an incident in which a restaurant waitress from Merced, California was injured by an exploding Coca-Cola bottle) that all products have an implied warranty, that it is to be foreseen that products will be used by a long chain of people, not just the direct recipient of the manufactured product, and that negligence by a defendant need not be proven if the defendant's product is defective. In his book Ready for the Plaintiff, Belli noted examples of negligence cited by himself and other personal-injury lawyers to win in court—for example, a colleague in Florida, who showed how a builder violated a building code in Miami Beach concerning the use of wooden shims in construction of outside walls (forbidden by the municipal code because of the effect of the ocean salt and air). The facing was a slab of vitreous marble, whose adhesion was weakened by the climate; it fell off the side of the building and injured a passerby, who sued the builder. After winning a court case, Belli would raise a Jolly Roger flag over his office building in the Barbary Coast district of San Francisco (which Belli claimed had been a Gold Rush-era brothel) and fire a cannon, mounted on his office roof, to announce the victory and the impending party. In his best-known case, Belli represented Jack Ruby, for free, after Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald. Belli attempted to prove that Ruby was legally insane and had a history of mental illness in his family. On Saturday, March 14, 1964, Ruby was convicted of "murder with malice", and received a death sentence.Immediately thereafter, Ruby and his siblings fired <mask> as they also hired and fired several other lawyers during the case. In late 1966, Ruby's conviction was overturned with help from other defense lawyers on the grounds that he did not receive a fair trial and a retrial was scheduled outside of Dallas, but Ruby died of cancer before the retrial could take place. Belli became very critical of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. In 1969 a man called San Francisco police, identifying himself as the serial killer known only as The Zodiac, and agreed to call talk show host Jim Dunbar on Dunbar's morning television talk show A.M. San Francisco if either Belli or attorney F. Lee Bailey were present on air. The police contacted <mask> and Dunbar to arrange this in the hopes of capturing the individual. As promised, the suspect called, spoke a few words, and then hung up, repeating this activity 54 times over the next two hours. Belli received a letter from the Zodiac that same year.<mask>'s firm filed for bankruptcy protection in December 1995. Belli was representing 800 women in a class action lawsuit against breast implant manufacturer Dow Corning. Belli won the lawsuit, but when Dow Corning declared bankruptcy, Belli had no way to recover the $5 million his firm had advanced to doctors and expert witnesses. In the 1960s, Belli was among the leading members of the California plaintiffs bar who helped establish the California Trial Lawyers Association, which in the mid-1990s was renamed the Consumer Attorneys of California. The organization was established to help set standards and foment on-going legal education to help consumers have a better chance in court against the powerful legal teams amassed by the insurance companies and big corporations that typically were the defendants in accident, personal injury and other consumer lawsuits. In media
Belli executive produced Tokyo File 212 (1951), Hollywood's first film to be shot entirely in Japan. It featured Florence Marly and Robert Peyton in key roles.Belli enjoyed his frequent television and movie appearances; in 1965, he told Alex Haley, interviewing him for Playboy, that he "might have been an actor" if he had not become an attorney. Belli appeared in "And the Children Shall Lead", a 1968  episode of the original Star Trek series. In it he appears as "Gorgan, the Friendly Angel", an evil being who corrupts a group of children, one of whom was played by his son Caesar. He appeared in the Albert and David Maysles documentary Gimme Shelter (1970), which featured his representation and facilitation of The Rolling Stones' staging of the disastrous December 6, 1969, Altamont Free Concert. In 1986 he played a criminal defense lawyer in an episode of the TV series Hunter titled "True Confessions". In 1996 Belli recited the oratory to David Woodard's brass fanfare setting of Mark Twain's "The War Prayer" at Old First Church in San Francisco. Belli was played by Brian Cox in the 2007 film Zodiac in the scene that depicted Belli's conversation with the Zodiac suspect on A.M. San Francisco.Author
<mask> was the author of several books, including the six-volume Modern Trials (written between 1954 and 1960) which has become a classic textbook on the demonstrative method of presenting evidence. <mask>'s unprecedented — and some thought undignified  — use of graphic evidence and expert witnesses later became common courtroom practice. His autobiography My Life on Trial is an account of his life and the noteworthy events he was involved in during his career. He also wrote the introduction to 847.0 The Whiplash Injury by L. Ted Frigard, D.C. published in 1970. Dr. Frigard had helped <mask> with his pain through chiropractic care. Personal life
<mask> was married six times and divorced five. His marriage to his fifth wife, the former Lia Georgia Triff, ended with a scandalous and acrimonious divorce proceeding in 1991.Belli accused his ex-wife of having an affair with archbishop Desmond Tutu and of throwing one of his dogs off the Golden Gate Bridge. He was fined $1,000 for repeatedly calling her "El Trampo". At one point, Belli was ejected from the courtroom after accusing the judge of sleeping with his former wife's lawyer. He was ultimately compelled to pay her an estimated $15 million. She later married self-styled Romanian prince Prince Paul of Romania. <mask> married his sixth wife, Nancy Ho, on March 29, 1996. His youngest child, Melia, from fifth wife Lia, became an art history scholar, and is currently an assistant professor of Asian art history at the University of Texas at Arlington.Death
Belli died of complications from pancreatic cancer at his home in San Francisco on July 9, 1996, aged 88. His death came suddenly, and in the presence of his wife Nancy. The New York Times''' quoted his publicist Edward Lozzi: "He was sitting; he just stopped breathing". At the time of his death, he had three sons, three daughters, twelve grandchildren, and two dogs. He is buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery in Sonora, California, his birthplace. Bibliography

She worked at the Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, and later at Saint Petersburg State University, where she attained the rank of Docent (Associate professor). <mask> is most known for her work on Udege and Oroch languages, as well as on a number of other Tungusic languages and Balkan languages. She is the author of the most significant vocabulary of Udege, published in Russia, as well as other important studies and reference sources of Udege, Oroch and Balkan languages. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Weimar, which was then a city in East Germany (DDR), where her family was, probably, stationed at this time, working with the Soviet military. Later family moved to Saint Petersburg, and Girfanova started her undergraduate studies at the Department of General Linguistics (Faculty of Philology) at the Saint Petersburg State University. She majored in Albanian philology at the chair of Albanian language and literature, established at 1957 by initiative of Agnia Vasilevna Desnickaja.<mask> Girfanova formed as a philologist and albanologist under the guidance of professors A. V. Desnickaja, G. I. Entrej, I. I. Voronina, etc. She graduated from the Saint Petersburg State University, majoring in Albanian, in 1981. However, she did not continue studies in Albanian, but joined Department of Altaic languages at the Leningrad Branch of the Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, in Saint Petersburg (at that time, Leningrad), and devoted herself to study of Tungusic languages and cultures of Tungusic peoples. Academic career

Writing and research

Fellowship at Institute for Linguistic Studies (1981–1983)
Immediately upon graduation from Saint Petersburg State University Girfanova obtained a fellow position as a junior researcher (стажер-исследователь) at the department of Altaic languages at the Institute for Linguistics Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (in years 1952 – 1991: the Leningrad branch of Institute of Linguistics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR). She majored in Albanian at college, but switched to studying Tungusic languages, primarily Udege and Oroch. At the same time, she continued studying Turkish and Albanian, modern Greek – in time being, she became a veritable polyglot. Post-graduate studies at Institute for Linguistic Studies (1983–1986)
After three years as a junior researcher, Girfanova secures a post-graduate position in her department.In the Soviet Academy's context at that time, successful graduation from this position practically guaranteed a life-time tenure with the institution; therefore, obtaining such position in the humanities at that time was considered a career success. Girfanova publishes several articles on Udege language. Upon graduation from her post-graduate studies, she is promoted to research fellow position at the same department. Research at Institute for Linguistic Studies (1986–2003)
It took another two years for Girfanova to write and defend her Candidate of Science Dissertation (equivalent of PhD. thesis), entitled "Indicative Verb Forms in Udege Language", in 1988. The pinnacle of her studies of Udege language becomes the most significant "Vocabulary of Udege Language", published in Russia. Lexicographic studies
Girfanova has invested considerable time into lexicography of Udege and Oroch languages.She will be mostly known as the author of the best "Vocabulary of Udege Language". It is not the first and only vocabulary of Udege language, but, according to the review by A. A. Byrykin, it is the most linguistically solid vocabulary of Udege. Her lexicographic and etymological studies were not limited to Tungusic languages. She studied cross-linguistic connections of Balkan toponyms, etc. She was working on a project of a dictionary of Turkic terminology in the languages of Southeast Europe. Grammar and Syntax studies
Alongside time-consuming lexicographic work, Girfanova continued grammatical and syntactic studies of Tungusic languages, and devoted some time to the history of studying of these languages.Anthropology studies
<mask>'s interest to Tungusic peoples was not limited by language studies. She conducted folkloristic and ethnographic studies (marriage rites, kinship terminology), including study of shamanism,. Girfanova was a member of International Society for Shamanistic Research. Teaching and lecturing

Department of General Linguistics, Saint Petersburg State University
While in the Soviet Union position of a researcher at an institute of the Academy of Sciences used to be a life-time tenure position, there was no job security in the new Russia, and financing of the Academy decreased dramatically. In 2003, changes happened at Institute for Linguistic Studies, the Altaic department effectively stopped to exist, and <mask> was let go. That was, in her own words in 2005, a painful crisis of her academic career: "two years ago the author, the only specialist in Udege language in the country, was fired from the Altaic department of ILI of RAS living out the rest of its days, abandoned by researchers and later abolished, in spite of the position of a scientific researcher successfully acquired three months before the department’s abolishment (I am the author of the only thesis of C. Sc. devoted to Udege language, written and defended in this country, 70 publications, including 5 monographs on the mentioned above Udege language)".Fortunately, she was immediately hired by her alma mater, Saint Petersburg State University, as an associate professor (docent). Unfortunately, she had to revert to teaching Albanian and Turkish languages, which considerably diminished time for academic research and publications. Courses and lectures

Educator, Cultural Ambassador and Linguistic Activist
<mask> did not only teach Tungisic and Balkan languages, she is also an author of popular books, presenting Udege and Albanian cultures to the world, so she was honoured by an obituary from Albanian Embassy in Russia - it is not something that done for a regular language professor. Beside being an academic scholar, she gave full assistance to the educational system in Russia, to educate students in Tungusic languages, publishing a few textbooks for elementary school. She was really concerned about well-being of endangered Tungusic languages, and was socially active to help them to survive. As Oliver Corff mentioned in his obituary for Girfanova, "Her critical understanding of the intentions and outcomes of Russia’s minority policies allowed her to come forward with substantial suggestions for improvements acknowledged by politicians. In autumn 2017 she was invited by the Department of Interior Politics of Primorsky Krai as moderator for a course on the revival of the Udege language in the framework of a larger nationality policy programme from 2018 to 2020.Pavel Yasevich, Director of the Department, lauds her as the foremost authority on Udege and Oroch languages in Russia." Death
<mask> died on February 2, 2018, the day after her 61st birthday. Citations

title: James Stephen (architect)

texts:
<mask> (March 29, 1858 – September 27, 1938) was an American architect. He was the premier school architect in Western Washington state in the early 1900s. Originally working with wood frame buildings, around 1908 he brought more modern and fire-resistive designs to the Seattle area. He, and later with his son, was responsible for the design of at least fifty schools in Washington as well as many other kinds of buildings. At least three of the schools are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Early life
<mask> was born in Ontario, Canada in 1858 to Alexander and <mask>, both Scottish immigrants. He moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1864 at age six.His father was a skilled cabinetmaker and  <mask> trained to be one too. He also learned to make pipe organs. He learned the skills of an architect through a correspondence course and began practice in that field in Hyde Park, Illinois from 1885 to 1887. He later moved to Pasadena, California where he practiced 1887–89, and then on to Washington when there was great need for architects during rebuilding after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. He practiced in Seattle alone from 1889 to 1893 and then partnered with Timotheus Josenhans for a short time (1894–97) when the team designed buildings on the Washington Agricultural College campus (now Washington State University). During the recession of the mid to late 90s, <mask> returned to cabinetmaking and found work with the Moran Shipyards in Seattle and Alaska. Seattle schools
In 1899, he was hired by the Seattle School District to design several schools and his plan was adopted as a "Model School Plan" for subsequent elementary schools built by the district.He became the official school architect from 1901 to 1909 where he designed and supervised the construction of fifty Seattle school buildings. His early designs used economical and flexible wood frames that easily allowed for phased development and expansion. An eight-, twelve-, or 20-room school could be constructed from the model. The schools used standard floor plans and interior finishes but the exteriors varied greatly from school to school as <mask> used his cabinetmaker skills to design different wood detailing of the exterior elevations. Around the time his eldest son Frederick graduated as an architect from the University of Pennsylvania, <mask> traveled to the mid-west and New York to study newer trends in school construction. In 1908, the two started a partnership (<mask> and <mask>) and, probably influenced by what he had seen on the trip as well as his son's training, began to design schools with fireproof materials. They used concrete, brick, and terra cotta and included modern features such as state-of-the-art lavatories, intercoms, and clock systems.His specifications for heating systems were particularly noteworthy. A report on the benefits of modern designs led for a second Model School Plan being adopted by the district. These masonry structures were designed in the then-popular Gothic revival and Jacobean style. <mask> resigned from the school district in 1909 after having designed schools that cost in aggregate $1.5 million (). His head draftsman was hired by the district to replace him as chief architect. Other work
Simultaneously to his position as Seattle school architect, he continued in his private practice designing residential, religious, and commercial structures, including the original portion of the downtown Seattle YMCA building. Schools of his design were built in Redmond, Hoquiam, Renton, Auburn, Olympia, Everett, Kirkland, and Bremerton.Schools produced after his son joined the practice can be found in Edmonds, Wenatchee, Cashmere, Richmond Beach, Vancouver, Ellensburg, Kirkland, Cle Elum, Chehalis, Fall City, and Port Townsend. He became a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1902 and was president of the Washington chapter in 1907-08 as well as a delegate to the national convention in Chicago in 1907. In 1910, he ran for a position on the Seattle city council and was endorsed by The Seattle Star. In 1912, he ran for a position on the Seattle school board. A decade after he left the employ of the school district, he became a vocal critic of the school building program claiming it was extravagant and wasteful. He cited the construction of the Roosevelt High School which was estimated to cost $1.25 million (), nearly equal to the combined cost of the four newest Seattle high schools. In 1921, he said this extravagance was typical of schools designed in the prior four years.Personal
<mask> married Ida Mary Rowan (Oct 1858-February 2, 1953), a native of Missouri in 1882. They had four sons - Frederick B. (born February 1883 in Illinois), Walter M (born September 1884 in Illinois), Chester R (born March 1887 in Illinois), and <mask> (born March 1893 in Seattle). Frederick was the only son to become an architect; Chester was an electrician while <mask> was an orchardist in Leavenworth, Washington,

<mask> retired from the practice in 1923 or 1928 and died in Seattle on September 27, 1938  after a ten-year illness. Projects

title: Henry Pelham-Clinton, 4th Duke of Newcastle

texts:
<mask>, 4th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne  (31 January 1785 – 12 January 1851) was a British nobleman and politician who played a leading part in British politics in the late 1820s and early 1830s. He was styled Lord Clinton from birth until 1794 and Earl of Lincoln between 1794 and 1795. Early life
Pelham-Clinton was the eldest son of Thomas Pelham-Clinton, 3rd Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne, and his wife Lady Anna Maria (née Stanhope), and was educated at Eton College. His father died when he was ten years old. In 1803, encouraged by the Peace of Amiens which provided a break in hostilities with France, his mother and stepfather took him on a European Tour. Unfortunately, war broke out once again, and the young duke was detained at Tours in 1803, where he remained until 1806. Career
On his return to England in 1807, Pelham-Clinton embarked upon life with many personal advantages, and with a considerable fortune.He married at Lambeth, 18 July 1807, a great heiress, Georgiana Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Miller Mundy of Shipley, Derbyshire. He served as Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire from 1809 to 1839 and was also Steward of Sherwood Forest and of Folewood Park. In 1812 he was made a Knight of the Garter. Opposition to Catholic Emancipation
On 22 March 1821, <mask> published a pamphlet in the form of a letter to Lord Liverpool, protesting against a Bill for Catholic Emancipation. <mask> argued that if his government supported Emancipation they would be doing the country an injustice for two main reasons. Firstly, the attention of the nation was preoccupied with domestic problems and little interested in the question, so to pass Emancipation now would be a betrayal. Secondly, the government could not be neutral on this question because if the Bill passed Parliament, the King would have to refuse Royal Assent as it would be in breach of his promise, made in the Coronation Oath, to uphold the Protestant constitution.If the King were to do this without the advice of his ministers then it would be unconstitutional since the King could only act on the advice of his ministers. Thereby the government should adopt a position on the question, and this position should of necessity be opposed to Emancipation. He did not hold any national office but he was extremely active in politics. From about 1826 he became one of the leaders of the so-called "Ultra-Tory" faction, staunchly supporting the traditional establishment of Church, Country and State. He rejected the label of Tory, however. On 13 March 1827, <mask> told Lord Colchester that he wanted to form a group to support the King in forming a government opposed to Emancipation with the aid of Lords Mansfield, Salisbury and Falmouth, and that he could win the support of about 60 peers. On 24 March <mask> had an audience with the King, George IV, on the question of Emancipation.However early in the conversation the King interrupted <mask>, "it was only occasionally that I could edge in my remarks & opinions". <mask> said himself and other peers wishes for an administration "formed on anti Rom. Cath. principles & that if it would be H.M.'s pleasure to form such an administration it would be certain of support & success". The King, however, said a Prime Minister could not be appointed until it was certain that Lord Liverpool would not recover from his stroke. Nerwcastle responded by saying this delay could only help the pro-Emancipation politicians and that himself and other peers would help the King in his choice if he would choose Protestants, "not doubtful Protestants but such as are staunch and unequivocal in their opinions". The King replied: "That you may safely rely upon".When <mask> was going to suggest Lord Eldon as Prime Minister, the King stopped him by saying Eldon was persona non-grata and suggested Wellington instead. <mask> was opposed to this choice and wanted the King to make a stronger declaration in favour of a government opposed to Emancipation. The King was annoyed at this and asked, "What more can I do?" <mask> said nothing could be better than his declaration and that if he had the permission to make the King's declaration publicly known. The King would not allow this, however. <mask> wrote to Lord Colchester on 15 January 1828, that he wanted "a sound, plain-dealing Protestant administration, devoid of all quackery and mysterious nonsense". The <mask> of Wellington sought <mask>'s support for his new government, and when he learnt that it did not possess <mask>'s confidence (and not receiving a reply to his first letter) he wrote again to him on 31 January, saying: "Nothing can be more unpleasant to me than that the friendly Relations between your Grace and the Govt.should be suspended". <mask> finally replied on 4 February, saying his government did not possess his confidence. On 18 September 1828, <mask> condemned the government for "neutrality, conciliation, and modern liberality". Wellington "may be the victim of a monstrous error" but he had supported relieving the Dissenters and his first parliamentary session was "by far the most disastrous of any in the memory of man". <mask> advised that those opposed to Emancipation "must unite in Protestant associations from one end of the country to the other, and as Parliament is not sitting, they should address their Protestant King". Failure to do this might provoke punishment from God. <mask> led a crowd to Windsor to petition the King against Emancipation.One contemporary Canningite called it "radical all over". When in October 1829, <mask> was criticised for evicting tenants who had voted against his candidates, he famously wrote: "Is it presumed then that I am not to do what I will with my own?". He repeated this in the Lords on 3 December 1830. In response to further evictions, The Times rebuked <mask> for acting like the recently deposed Charles X of France in abusing his power and claimed that his actions were the best argument in favour of reform. Opposition to Reform
Pelham-Clinton was a vehement opponent of electoral reform. This stance led to attacks on his property during the Reform Bill Riots of 1831. Nottingham Castle was burnt to the ground and his residences at Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire and Portman Square, London also had to be fortified against the mob.In 1839, <mask> objected to the appointment to the magistracy of two gentlemen nominated by the government, but of whose political and religious principles he disapproved (being Dissenters). He wrote a very offensive letter to Lord Chancellor Cottenham, and on his refusing to withdraw it he received a letter on 4 May from Russell informing him, that the Queen had no further occasion for his services as Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. Charles Greville wrote in his diary on 2 May:

Personal life
On 18 July 1807 Pelham-Clinton married Georgiana Elizabeth, the only child and heiress of Edward Miller Mundy of Shipley Hall, and his second wife, Georgiana (née Chadwick) Willoughby (the former wife of Thomas Willoughby, 4th Baron Middleton and second daughter of Evelyn Chadwick of West Leake). They had eight sons and six daughters, including:

 Lady Anna Maria Pelham-Clinton (1808–1822)
 Lady Georgiana Pelham-Clinton (1810–1874)
 <mask>-Clinton, 5th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne (1811–1864), who married Lady Susan Hamilton, the only daughter of Alexander Hamilton, 10th <mask> of Hamilton and Susan Beckford (second daughter and co-heiress of William Beckford of Fonthill Abbey), in 1832. They divorced in August 1850 and she married Jean Opdebeck of Brussels in January 1860. Lady Charlotte Pelham-Clinton (1812–1886)
 Lord Charles Pelham Pelham-Clinton (1813–1894), who married Elizabeth Grant, only surviving child of William Grant of Congleton, in 1848. Lord Thomas Charles Pelham-Clinton (1813–1882), who married Marianne Gritton, a daughter of Francis Gritton, in 1843; they separated in 1865.Lord William Pelham-Clinton (1815–1850), who died unmarried. Lt. Lord Edward Pelham-Clinton (1816–1842), who died of illness aboard HMS Harlequin during the First Opium War. Lord John Pelham-Clinton (1817–1817), who died in infancy. Lady Caroline Augusta Pelham-Clinton (1818–1898), who married Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, 2nd Baronet in 1852. Lady Henrietta Pelham-Clinton (1819–1890), who married Admiral Edwin Tennyson d'Eyncourt of Bayons Manor in 1859. Lord Robert Renebald Pelham-Clinton (1820–1867), who died unmarried. The Duchess of Newcastle-under-Lyne died in 1822 while giving birth to twins, a stillborn daughter and a son, Lord George Pelham Clinton, who died 13 days after birth.In memory of her, the 4th Duke built a church and mausoleum at Milton, Nottinghamshire. In 1833, when the new church at Milton was finished, it became the parish church, replacing the old one at West Markham. This situation was reversed, however, in 1949 when All Saints, West Markham, was reinstated as the parish church, and the Duke's mausoleum was left to decay. Milton Church, now simply a mausoleum, was finally rescued in 1972 when the Churches Conservation Trust took it into guardianship. The 4th Duke never remarried before his death at Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire, 12 January 1851, and was buried in All Saints' Church, West Markham on 21 January. He was succeeded by his eldest son <mask>, who was a prominent politician. Legacy

He earned his A.B. in Sociology from Southern Methodist University in 1982, and his Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist's Dedman School of Law in 1985. <mask> was admitted to the bar in 1986 in Texas; in 1986, Missouri; in 1986, Nebraska; U.S. District Court, Southern District of Illinois, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Missouri and to the U.S. Court of Appeals, 7th and 8th Circuits; and 1987, in Illinois.His practice has focused on suits involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, birth injuries, orthopedic injuries and major injuries resulting from car wrecks. The couple's career has included litigiousness against their subdivision neighbors spending, "...decades suing their neighbors and family members to protect their property." They asserted "squatter's rights" on a slice of shared property in their subdivision, sued a dog breeder from whom they bought a German shepherd. They razed beehives that constituted part of the education curriculum at a next door synagogue, then threatened to file suit if the congregation didn't remove the resultant debris. Confrontation with marchers

On June 28, 2020, about 500 Black Lives Matter protesters attempted to march to the home of St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson to demand her resignation. They felt she was retaliating when she publicly read the names and addresses of those locals who had written to demand defunding of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. A smaller number of marchers had separately entered the private Portland Place, neighborhood, intending to join the main body of marchers at the mayor's home.Livestreamed video showed the first protesters entering the community by walking through an intact gate that a man was holding open. Twenty seconds later, the video shows <mask> with a rifle outside his house, yelling at protesters. <mask> later told media that the protesters "smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home...put us in fear for our lives", and also that "the gate came down and a large crowd of angry, aggressive people poured through. I was terrified that we’d be murdered within seconds". While the gate was damaged at some point in time, it was unclear who had damaged it. As the crowd approached, McCloskey shouted "private property" and "get out" multiple times at protesters. Protesters marched past his home.<mask> and Patricia stood outside their front door with a semi-automatic AR-15 and handgun respectively. Several protesters confronted the two in front of their home, only several yards apart, exchanging heated words. At one point, Patricia walked onto the grass between her home and the sidewalk where protesters were marching by. Some protesters were heard asking others to leave and move on, while other protesters were heard threatening the McCloskeys. No shots were fired and there were no injuries. Shortly after the incident, the McCloskeys told reporters that they support the Black Lives Matter movement and civil rights. There was no evidence that the protesters involved in this incident had weapons, a prosecutor said in 2021.<mask> in July 2020 had told media that the "people in the crowd in front of my house" were "armed with guns" and that "the police were aware and have video" of that. He said, "We saw the weapons at the time", and accused one protester of showing loaded magazines and telling him: "You're next". As a result of their newfound fame, the next month the couple were invited to speak at the 2020 Republican National Convention. In their remarks, which they delivered via video from their home, <mask> stated, in part, "It seems as if the Democrats no longer view the government's job as protecting honest citizens from criminals, but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens." The couple pleaded their felonies down to misdemeanors and were fined a combined $3,000. Republican Missouri Governor Mike Parson subsequently issued pardons for the pair. Political activities
<mask> has donated to Democratic candidates in the past, including $500 to former Sen. Claire McCaskill, who defeated Todd Akin in 2012.He gave $1,000 to Republican Bill Phelps, who was defeated by incumbent Democratic congressman Ike Skelton in 1992. Campaign for U.S. Senate

In 2020, <mask> launched a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated in 2022 by Roy Blunt. At a candidate's forum in Osage Beach, Missouri in October 2021, <mask> stated that he believes rape and incest victims as young as 13 years old should be prohibited from obtaining abortions. He said he once represented a woman who was raped by an uncle at 13, had the child, and later obtained a master's degree; and that the child who would have been aborted ended up getting a master's degree as well. <mask> said that it had bothered him "as long ago as when I was in grade school" that some death penalty opponents also support abortion rights. He added, "The justices of the Supreme Court in the most heinous crimes don't have the right to decide who should live and die, but every 13-year-old girl on the street should be able to decide the fate of the life of their child?"
