He later became a broadcaster, and he was honored in 2005 by the National Baseball Hall of Fame with the Ford C. Frick Award for his broadcasting contributions. Playing career

Born in San Jose, California, <mask> graduated from Lowell High School, then spent his entire playing career with the New York Yankees. He played six years in the Yankees' minor league system before reaching the big club in 1949.<mask> hit .275 in his first year and led all second basemen in fielding percentage. He was the Associated Press rookie of the year in 1949 and finished third in balloting by Baseball Writers Association of America. <mask> avoided a sophomore slump by earning a selection to the All-Star team in 1950. He then shone in the World Series with brilliant defense, earning him the BBWAA's Babe Ruth Award as the series's most valuable player. Nicknamed "The Colonel" because he was a U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, <mask> was a Marine aviator who postponed his entry into professional baseball in World War II and later left baseball to serve in the Korean War. While a Marine Corps aviator he flew 120 combat missions (57 during World War II and 63 in Korea). and received numerous honors and medals including two Distinguished Flying Crosses.In the years before his death, <mask> received numerous honors, including induction into the USMC Sports Hall of Fame, for his call to duty. <mask> was the only Major League Baseball player to see combat in two wars. (While Ted Williams served during both World War II and Korea, he flew combat missions only in the Korean War.) <mask>'s career declined after he was injured the following season, relegating him to a bench role. He was forced to retire after the 1957 season, but he left on a good note, hitting .364 in a World Series loss against the Milwaukee Braves. He appeared in the World Series six times in his career, winning four of them. <mask> appeared on the February 5, 1957 of the CBS game show To Tell the Truth as an imposter for singer Don Rondo.He received two votes. Broadcasting career
In 1958, New York Yankees general manager George Weiss named <mask> personnel director, which involved <mask> scouting minor league players. Roy Hamey terminated <mask> from that position, upon becoming the Yankees' general manager. It was only after <mask> met with Howard Cosell that <mask> considered becoming a broadcaster. In 1960, <mask> began a broadcasting career with CBS television, conducting pregame interviews on the network's Game of the Week broadcasts. His broadcasting career nearly ended that year; he was in the midst of an interview with Cookie Lavagetto when the national anthem began playing. <mask> kept the interview going through the anthem, prompting an avalanche of angry letters to CBS.In 1963, he began a seven-year run calling Yankees games on WCBS radio and WPIX television. During this time, he lived in Ridgewood, New Jersey, which he described as being "19.9 miles from Yankee Stadium, but a million miles from New York". After broadcasting for the California Angels for two years, in 1972 <mask> became the lead radio announcer for the San Diego Padres, a position he held every year until his death in 2014 except for 1980, when the Padres hired him to manage (predating a trend of broadcasters-turned-managers that started in the late 1990s). He was known in San Diego for his signature catchphrase, "You can hang a star on that one, baby! ", which he would deliver after a spectacular play. During home games, the phrase would be accompanied by a tinsel star swinging from a fishing pole that emanated from his broadcast booth. <mask>'s other catchphrases included "Oh Doctor!", "And the beat goes on," and "The natives are getting restless." <mask> lent these catchphrases to great use when the Padres defeated the Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the 1984 National League Championship Series to clinch the pennant and their first ever trip to the World Series. Here's the Goose...the 1–1 pitch. A one hopper to Nettles, to Wiggins...and the Padres have the National League pennant!!! Oh doctor, you can hang a star on that baby!!! He also called national regular-season and postseason broadcasts for CBS Radio from the mid-1970s to 1997. During an interview in the height of the steroids scandal in 2005, <mask> stated, "If I'm emperor, the first time 50 games, the second time 100 games and the third strike you're out", referring to how baseball should suspend players for being caught taking steroids.After the 2005 World Series, Major League Baseball put a similar policy in effect. <mask> was known as the "Master of the Malaprop" for making sometimes embarrassing mistakes on the microphone, but he was nonetheless popular. In 2005, he was given the Ford C. Frick Award of the National Baseball Hall of Fame for broadcasting excellence, and is one of six Frick award winners who also played in the Major Leagues (the others are Joe Garagiola, Tony Kubek, Tim McCarver, Bob Uecker and Ken Harrelson.) He was inducted into the San Diego Padres Hall of Fame in 2001. In fall 2007, <mask> was inducted to the National Radio Hall of Fame as a sports broadcaster for his years as the play-by-play voice of the San Diego Padres. Ted Leitner and Andy Masur replaced <mask> for most of the radio broadcasting efforts for each Padres game. He did, however, still work middle innings as a color analyst.As of the 2010 season, he reduced his broadcast schedule down to 20–30 home day games. , <mask> was the third-oldest active play-by-play announcer, behind only fellow Hall of Famers Felo Ramirez and Ralph Kiner. <mask> collaborated on his autobiography with longtime New York Times writer Richard Goldstein; their book An American Journey: My Life on the Field, In the Air, and On the Air was published in 2008. On September 15, 2012, the Padres unveiled a <mask> statue at Petco Park. <mask>'s statue is the second statue at Petco Park, the other being of Hall of Fame outfielder Tony Gwynn. Awards

 Distinguished Flying Cross (2)
 Air Medal (13)

In 2011, <mask> was inducted into the International Aerospace Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the San Diego Air & Space Museum for his service as a combat pilot in World War II and the Korean War. Although several Major League ballplayers flew during WWII, he was the only active member of MLB to do the deed twice, forgoing his career to fly in combat in both wars.The SDASM restored a vintage F4U "Corsair" fighter-bomber in the markings of <mask>'s aircraft during the Korean War and it is displayed under their SBD "Dauntless" dive bomber (which <mask> flew in combat during WW2).

<mask><mask>. (1953 – November 9, 2020) was an American Christian pastor, Pentecostal bishop, and author who served as the senior pastor at Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland, and served as the presiding bishop of the International Communion of Evangelical Churches. He was also a social conservative activist and commentator and was known for his opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion. <mask> was the founder and chairman of the High Impact Leadership Coalition, an organization of ministers who promote socially conservative causes, and was a co-founder of The Reconciled Church Initiative. <mask> died in November 2020 of unknown causes. Early life
<mask> was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was the son of <mask>. and <mask>. His family moved to Ohio from Florida three years before <mask> was born because a white policeman in Florida had nearly killed <mask>'s father.<mask> became involved in political activism as a child with his mother. He attended Cincinnati Country Day School. In an interview, <mask> stated that he had been "the black kid at Country Day who stayed in the houses of wealthy white people". <mask> graduated from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where he played football. He received a tryout with the New England Patriots, but did not make the team. <mask>'s family moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 1973, eventually settling in Silver Spring, Maryland. <mask> obtained a high-level executive job at Republic Steel.He graduated from Harvard University with a master's degree in business administration. Ministry
The death of his father caused <mask> to decide to become a Christian minister. He moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he preached in the inner city. Soon he took a job at Corning Glass (now Corning Incorporated) in Corning, New York, and preached in his free time. There, he founded a church called the Christian Hope Center, and his parishioners were mostly white. "We really broke racial barriers for a black man pastoring white people in 1981," he says. <mask>'s work in Corning attracted attention.He was recruited to Beltsville, Maryland to become the pastor of Hope Christian Church, a "multiethnic megachurch" that later grew to 3,500 people. He ministered there for the rest of his life. Views, activism, and political involvement
<mask> believed that same-sex marriage and abortion are morally wrong. He believed that abortion and gay marriage are causing the erosion of the black family, saying "I don't know of anybody black who says, 'I hate gay people.' We're more accepting generally. But you overlap that – homosexuality and gay marriage – with broken families, and we don't know how to put it back together," he said. "I believe that the Bible teaches that same-sex marriage is an oxymoron," he said."If you redefine marriage, you have to redefine family. You'd have to redefine parenting. I'm looking at the extinction of marriage. And black culture is in a free fall." <mask> was a prominent activist against same-sex marriage and abortion. <mask> began writing about the black family in the late 1990s, and he gained national recognition through his columns for Charisma magazine, in which he frequently wrote about abortion and gay marriage. In 2006, <mask> said, "'There are a whole lot of black Christians who may not be Republicans but who share similar moral values.So I appeal to the fact that more than two million black babies have been lost to abortion over the last four years and that over 70 percent of black babies are born to unwed mothers'". In 2009, <mask> began leading the movement against legalizing same-sex marriage in Washington, D.C. A group led by <mask> filed a lawsuit in the District of Columbia after the D.C. Board of Elections refused to allow a ballot initiative on the issue of same-sex marriage, claiming that such an initiative would violate D.C.'s Human Rights Act. In January 2010, the D.C. Superior Court upheld the board's decision. <mask> appealed to the D.C. Court of Appeals, but the court upheld the Superior Court's decision in a 5–4 vote. <mask> then appealed to the United States Supreme Court, but the appeal was rejected without comment in January 2011. <mask> was the founder and chairman of the High Impact Leadership Coalition, an organization composed of ministers who actively promote socially conservative causes. <mask> was also a co-founder of The Reconciled Church Initiative, which seeks to bring racial healing to the church and America.<mask> concurred with Pope Benedict XVI's belief that condom distribution increases the incidence of AIDS. In 2009, <mask> wrote: "I agree with the Pope that a responsible and moral attitude toward sex would help fight the disease." <mask> argued that some police departments ought to be defunded and encouraged conservatives not to minimize the deaths of black men in the custody of law enforcement. According to Christianity Today, "<mask> achieved his greatest influence in Donald Trump’s White House, frequently attending functions, praying publicly, and advocating for policies such as the First Step Act, a prison reform bill that was signed into law in 2018. 'You can’t be a prophet to the culture while you’re standing outside of the room'. <mask> said in response to critics." <mask> prayed at Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2017 and visited the White House on multiple occasions during the Trump administration.Books

After Toyota's disbandment in 1984, <mask> and several former Toyota teammates joined Beer Hausen. With Toyota's disbandment, the ongoing feud between <mask> and Jaworski became public. <mask> won the 1984 MVP award, his second, during his first season with the Lucio Tan-owned franchise, but never led the team to the championship until he was shipped in the middle of the 1985 season to Tanduay for Abet Guidaben. From 1986-1987, <mask> along with former Crispa rivals Freddie Hubalde and Padim Israel, J.B. Yango, Willie Generalao, Onchie dela Cruz and imports Rob Williams, Andre McKoy and later, David Thirdkill, led the Rhum Masters to three PBA titles. <mask> won his third MVP award in 1986. Tanduay would disband before the 1988 season, but the franchise rights were bought by the Purefoods.<mask> would become playing coach, his first coaching stint, of a young team composed of Jerry Codiñera, Jojo Lastimosa, Al Solís, Glenn Capacio and later Alvin Patrimonio. In the 1988 Open Conference, he led his new team to a runner-up finish to San Miguel Beer. However, midway through the All-Filipino Conference, he would relinquish his coaching duties to his assistant, Cris Calilan, to concentrate on his game. But in a controversial move, <mask> was benched during the Finals against Añejo Rhum. The said event led to his transfer to San Miguel Beer in exchange for, the second time, Abet Guidaben. <mask> would later lead the Beermen to the 1988 Reinforced Conference Championship and also won his fourth MVP Award, becoming the first and the only player to win four MVP awards with four teams. <mask> was a vital cog in San Miguel's historic grandslam run in 1989, while making amends with rival Jaworski during the All-Star Game of the same season, when El Presidente scored an undergoal stab off a Jaworski inbound pass at halfcourt, to lead the Veterans to a 132-130 win over the Rookie-Sophomores team.Legendary coach Baby Dalupan, then coaching the Veterans, summoned both players to a historic handshake at centercourt signaling the end of their bitter feud. However, despite leading his team to the "triple crown" that season, <mask> narrowly lost to rookie Benjie Paras in the MVP balloting, denying the then 36-year old veteran a record-setting fifth MVP plum. In 1990, <mask> was a member of the Philippine basketball team that won a silver medal in the Beijing Asian Games. He was supposed to participate in the 1994 Asian Games team, but begged off due to an injury. That year also saw the final season of <mask>'s PBA career when he announced his retirement. In 1984, <mask> was five assists away from averaging in triple-double the whole season. He ended his PBA career as the all-time leader in most points scored with 18,996, second in assists with 5,220, first in defensive rebounds with 6,435, second in offensive rebounds behind Guidaben with 2,217, first in overall rebounds with 8,652, first in minutes played with 36624:30, second in games played, first in blocks with 1,853, and second in steals with 1,302 (first at retirement in 1994).He ended with career averages of 17.7 points per game, 8.1 rebounds per game, 4.9 assists per game, 1.2 steals per game, and 1.7 blocks per game in 1,074 games. Post-PBA career
After his playing career, <mask> ran for a senatorial seat under the Nationalist People's Coalition in the 1995 elections but lost. In 1998, he became the first commissioner of the defunct professional league, Metropolitan Basketball Association. In 2000, he was included in the PBA's 25 Greatest Players' list and was awarded during the league's anniversary on April 9, 2000. In 2003, <mask> was named the Commissioner of the Collegiate Champions League tournament. A few months earlier, <mask> was part of the Toyota Tamaraws in the Crispa-Toyota Reunion Game. The highlight of the event was the kickout pass of <mask> to Jaworski, who sank a three-pointer to seal the Tamaraws' 65-61 win over their bitter rivals, the Redmanizers.He also became the Commissioner of the now-inactive United Regional Basketball League during its only run in 2004. <mask> was also inducted in the PBA Hall of Fame and participated in the Greatest Game, a reunion of several members of the league's 25 Greatest Players, on May 30, 2005 when they lost to the TM Greats team 96-92. He also ventured in several business opportunities and is currently based in Cebu, managing his flourishing "Suka ni El Presidente" brand of bottled spiced vinegar. In 2016, <mask> was appointed as one of the four commissioners of the Philippine Sports Commission. In 2018, <mask> was appointed to the Board of Directors for UGE Philippines, a local leader in solar energy solutions for the commercial and industrial sector - a subsidiary of UGE International. He first became involved with UGE in 2015 due to an interest in renewable energy advocacy. <mask> became Officer in Charge of the Philippine Sports Commission in lieu of Chairperson Butch Ramirez.Ramirez went on leave until July 20 to attend to his sick wife. Gigantism
In a September 2015 interview, <mask> revealed that he has a mild case of gigantism after discovering he has recently grown to 6'7". He was listed in PBA records as 6'4", but he claimed to have grown to 6'5" during the latter part of his playing career. <mask> is remembered as one of the most popular players during the PBA's golden years and is also one of the most prominent faces in Philippine basketball, even to this day. He remains the poster-boy of many a PBA Legends Reunion game in the country and abroad. <mask> could actually play all five positions on the basketball court, having mastered the skills needed as a point guard, off-guard, forward, power-forward and center. He is known for his dribbling skills (unusual for a center during his era), uncanny passing ability, perimeter jumpers, and unstoppable high or low post moves.In an open court game, it was not unusual to see him, after collaring a rebound, dribble down the full length of the court and finish off a fastbreak with a lay-up from the middle or a fancy pass to a streaking teammate on the wings. The fact that he could dribble the ball so well came about as a result of him playing point-guard in high school when he was still too short to play the center slot. He is also well known for his trademark one handed running shot dubbed as "the elegant shot." He could play facing the basket or with his back to it. Major distinguishing aspects of his game which showed a level of skill unmatched in Philippine basketball before or since, was his ability to improvise his own shots, create the necessary space for a play and drive towards the basket at will during a half-court game. This was remarkable because centers and power-forwards even in today's brand of basketball usually play near or underneath the basket and often rely on specifically designed plays involving their teammates. <mask> is perhaps the most ambidextrous player to have played the game since Carlos Loyzaga a generation before him.Almost always, whenever he would get the defensive rebound he would assume the role of "point-center", leading the fast-break (a throwback to his point-guard days), which he admitted was a habit he could not break in the pros. <mask> would dribble the ball running the middle of the court, either hitting the open man on either wing or finishing a lay-up with either hand. There were many instances when he would switch the ball from right hand to left hand, often drawing a foul or setting up a three-point play. One of his more famous moves was the "kili-kili" (armpit) shot, which he set up by driving down the middle of the lane coming from the right side of the court, faking a right-handed shot and then, at the last second when the defender has committed himself, switching the ball to his left hand for a scoop shot under the armpit of the same defender that almost always drew a foul. He had an ambidextrous hook shot that was almost impossible to stop and a weird-looking variation of a lay-up that was executed while "fading away" from the basket which made it equally intriguing. His "elegant shot" often came after a right-handed cross-over dribble and moving away from a defender. He used pivot moves, pump fakes, lookaway or no-look passes, looping shots, fadeaways and an array of what seemed to be trick shots from near or under the basket that he executed to perfection.He was doing this before Kevin McHale was doing his moves worthy of a chapter in an NBA playbook. <mask> owned what was perhaps the craziest no-look pass that was executed on Philippine hardwood: an assist initiated as a fake behind-the-back pass going to one direction only to go the opposite direction at the precise moment when the recipient is ready to receive the pass. He did this in front of a capacity crowd on May 30, 2003 during the Crispa Redmanizers vs. Toyota Super Corollas Reunion game at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. With Toyota up 37-29, <mask> intercepted a pass from Bernie Fabiosa underneath the Crispa basket, dribbled with his left hand, crossed-over a defending Atoy Co, brought the ball down the full length of the court with his right hand and just after entering Toyota's shaded lane shovelled the no-look pass to teammate Rolly Marcelo on the right side for an unmolested layup. Broadcaster Dick Ildefonso who was calling the game that night along with Emy Arcilla described it on air as "a pass that nobody saw except the receiver". His pinpoint passing ability was so devastating to opponents because he often executed them at critical junctures of the game, either coming from his right or left hand. It didn't matter to <mask> whether he was hitting the open man through a crowd of defenders or hitting the same open man via a Hail Mary pass from outside the backcourt.Philip Cezar and Abe King, two premier defenders of local players and imports alike, in television interviews, always said that <mask> was the toughest assignment they ever had to handle. <mask> was also one of the least athletic players to have laced on a pair of sneakers in the history of the PBA. He was too thin for a center who had to go up against imports who usually had more muscle and speed than he did. To be sure, there were many other players in his era who were a lot stronger than him. In addition, he did not possess a high vertical leap, rarely doing a slam-dunk during a career that spanned about twenty years. But these limitations were offset by the fact that he had an array of astonishing skills, a basketball IQ that was off the charts and mental toughness that enabled him to impose his will against opponents. Case in point: <mask>, even on a bad night, could still cut down an opponent, by baiting him into senseless fouls or getting him to react in an unsportsmanlike manner to many pre-designed tirades.One broadsheet called him, upon his retirement, as the man "who could control every variable of the game". His MVP-stats in the 1984 season of the PBA, where he averaged in double figures in almost all of the major statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists), turning in an incredible 27 point-15 rebound-9.9 assist performance (an almost a triple-double season), may never be matched as it stands as perhaps the most dominating individual performance in the history of Philippine professional basketball.

title: Léon Werth

texts:
<mask> (17 February 1878, Remiremont, Vosges – 13 December 1955, Paris) was a French writer and art critic, a friend of Octave Mirbeau and a close friend and confidant of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. <mask> wrote critically and with great precision on French society through World War I, colonization, and on French "collaboration" during World War II. Early life

<mask> was born in 1878 in the Remiremont, Vosges, in an assimilated Jewish family. His father, Albert, was a draper and his mother, Sophia, was the sister of the philosopher Frédéric Rauh. He was a brilliant student, a Grand Prize winner in France's Concours général and a literary and humanities CPGE philosophy student at Lycée Henri-IV. However, he abandoned his studies to become a columnist in various magazines. Leading a bohemian life, he devoted himself to writing and art criticism.<mask> was a protégé and friend of Octave Mirbeau, the author of The Diary of a Chambermaid, completing Mirabeau's final novel, Dingo, for him when the author's health failed. He manifested his anti-clericalism as an independently minded anti-bourgeois anarchist. His first significant novel, La Maison blanche, which Mirabeau prefaced, was a Prix Goncourt finalist in 1913. At the outbreak of the First World War, <mask>, 34, having earlier completed his active-duty and reserve service, was mobilized into the territorial army and, as such, assigned to the rear. Despite opposing the war, he volunteered for combat duty first as a rifleman then as a radio operator, spending time in one of the worst sectors of the war before being invalided out by a lung infection after 15 months' service. Shortly after, he completed Clavel, soldat, a pessimistic and virulently anti-war work that caused a scandal when it was released in 1919 but which was later cited as among the most faithful depictions of trench warfare in Jean Norton Cru's monumental 1929 survey of French World War I literature. <mask> was an unclassifiable writer with an acid prose, who wrote of the inter-war period as well as advocating against colonialism (Cochinchine, 1928).He also wrote against the colonial period splendor of the French empire, and against Stalinism which he denounced as a leftist deception. He also criticized the mounting Nazi movement. In 1931 when he met Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, it was the beginning of a very close friendship. Saint-Exupéry's Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) would be dedicated to Werth. After the Fall of France, during its occupation, the Werths remained in France despite offers by the Centre americain de secours in Marseille to help them emigrate. In July 1941 <mask> was required to register as Jewish, his travel was restricted and his works banned from publication. His wife, Suzanne, was active in the Resistance, crossing the demarcation line clandestinely more than a dozen times and establishing their Paris apartment as a safe house for fugitive Jewish women, downed British and Canadian pilots, secret resistance meetings and storage of false identity papers and illegal radio transmitters.Their son, Claude, continued his studies first in the Jura and then in Paris, later becoming a doctor. <mask> lived poorly in the Jura Mountain region, alone, cold and often hungry. Déposition, his diary, was published in 1946, delivering a damning indictment of Vichy France. He became a Gaullist under the Nazi occupation and after the war contributed to the Liberté de l'Esprit intellectual magazine run by Claude Mauriac. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Saint-Exupéry met <mask> in 1931. <mask> soon became Saint-Exupéry's closest friend outside of the flying group of his Aeropostale associates. Werth did not have much in common with Saint-Exupéry; he was an anarchist, his father was a Jew, and a leftist Bolshevik supporter.Being twenty-two years older than Saint-Exupéry, with a surrealistic writing style as well as the author of twelve volumes and many magazine pieces, he was Saint-Exupéry's very opposite. But the younger author admired <mask>'s writing for having "never deceived," and wrote that <mask>'s essence was "his search for truth, his observation and the simple utility of his prose." Saint-Exupéry's Letter to a Hostage includes a celebration of <mask>'s journalism, and in her note on the text, Françoise Gerbod, professor emeritus of French literature at the University of Paris, credits <mask> with having been Saint-Exupéry's literary mentor. Saint-Exupéry dedicated two books to him, (Letter to a Hostage and The Little Prince), and referred to Werth in three more of his works. At the beginning of the Second World War, while writing The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry lived in his downtown New York City apartment, thinking about his native France and his friends. <mask> spent the war unobtrusively in Saint-Amour, his village in the Jura, a mountainous region near Switzerland where he "was alone, cold and hungry", and which had few nice words for French refugees. Saint-Exupéry returned to the conflict by joining the Free French Air Force in early 1943, rationalizing, "I cannot bear to be far from those who are hungry...I am leaving in order to suffer and thereby be united with those who are dear to me." At the end of the Second World War, which Antoine de Saint-Exupéry didn't live to see, <mask> said: "Peace, without Tonio [Saint-Exupéry], isn't entirely peace." <mask> did not see the text for which he was so responsible until five months after his friend's death, when Saint-Exupéry's French publisher, Gallimard, sent him a special edition. <mask> died in Paris on 13 December 1955. His remains and those of his wife, Suzanne, are deposited in the columbarium at Paris's Père Lachaise cemetery. The Little Prince dedication
Werth is mentioned in the preamble to The Little Prince, where Saint-Exupéry dedicates the book to him:

To <mask>

I ask children to forgive me for dedicating this book to a grown-up. I have a serious excuse: this grown-up is the best friend I have in the world.I have another excuse: this grown-up can understand everything, even books for children. I have a third excuse: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs to be comforted. If all these excuses are not enough then I want to dedicate this book to the child whom this grown-up once was. All grown-ups were children first. (But few of them remember it.) So I correct my dedication:

To <mask>,
When he was a little boy

Saint-Exupéry's aircraft disappeared over the Mediterranean in July 1944.The following month, <mask> learned of his friend's disappearance from a radio broadcast. Without having yet heard of The Little Prince, in November, <mask> discovered that Saint-Exupéry had published a fable the previous year in the United States, which he had illustrated himself, and that it was dedicated to Werth. 33 jours posthumous publication

33 jours (33 Days) is <mask>'s memoir of l'exode (the exodus) during the Fall of France. The title refers to the period of time he, his wife and their son's former nanny spent on the road during their flight from Paris to their summer home in Saint-Amour in the Jura region. (His son Claude, then 15, and teenage friends covered the distance in less than a day by leaving several hours earlier, thus avoiding the detours mandated by the French army that are described in 33 jours; the couple had no news of their son until they were all reunited a month later in Saint-Amour.) With poetic economy and journalistic precision, <mask> recounts his experiences as one of the estimated eight million civilians who fled the advancing German army's invasion of Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and France in May–June 1940, possibly using notes set down during the event, as he did in the trenches in World War I (which he used for his novels Clavel soldat and Clavel chez les majors). <mask> gave the manuscript to his friend Saint-Exupéry in October 1940 to smuggle out of France, write a preface for and publish in the U.S.The New York publisher Brentano's bought the rights (for a military parcel of cigarettes, gum, chocolates and water-purification tablets) and publication was planned for 1943, in expectation of which Saint-Exupéry referred to it as "un grand livre" (an important book) in his 1942 novel Pilote de guerre. For reasons unclear it was never published, and the manuscript effectively disappeared. When Saint-Exupéry realized that an English translation of 33 jours was not forthcoming, he extensively revised the preface (excising Werth's name to protect him) and published it as a stand-alone essay. Letter to a Hostage is an affecting meditation on home and exile set during the escape from France via Lisbon to the U.S. (he was on the same vessel as Jean Renoir) that enabled the pilot to continue his struggle against the Germans from abroad. It was not until 1992 that Viviane Hamy found and published the missing manuscript. In 2002 a student edition was produced, and 33 jours became part of the syllabus in French secondary schools. Hamy led a rediscovery of Werth, republishing many of his works in the 1990s and 2000s.33 jours was finally published in English in 2015 as 33 Days in a new translation by Austin Denis Johnston. Deposition 1940-1944

Three years after 33 Days appeared in English, Oxford University Press published the diary <mask> wrote when he reached Saint-Amour after his exodus on the roads, sub-titling it "A Secret Diary of Life in Vichy France." It is translated by David Ball. Had it not been “secret,” the authorities would have had two reasons for deporting its author to Auschwitz: not only was he Jewish, he was subversive. Deposition is his sharply observed, often ironic, almost daily record of life in the French countryside during the Occupation and, at the end, the insurrection during the liberation of Paris. If he had stayed there, he might have been one of the 50,000 Jews deported from the city and exterminated. Alone in his house, with the habit of writing, no other work, and the obvious impossibility of publishing during the war, he made entries in his diary almost every day: noting what people said, what he saw, and what he heard on the radio and read in the press, often with comments like this:
“Monsieur de Gaulle (that’s what the paper calls him) and General Catroux have been stripped of their French nationality.”
So has France.(December 12, 1940)

The events “after the fall of France” described above are entered in the diary as they happened. When registering as Jewish, for example, <mask> says he sang out the word “Jewish” as if he were singing the Marseillaise. He also uses his gifts as a novelist to give us portraits of the peasants, shopkeepers and railroad workers in and around the village of Saint-Amour. We see what they are like and hear, in their own words, what they think of Vichy—not much, though many trust Pétain—and how it affects their lives. The diary in French is 750 pages, far too long to be assigned in classrooms, but the English edition is less than half as long. It is his most important book in English to date. <mask> returned to Paris in January 1944 but could only venture out at night until just before the Liberation.He describes the activities of a Resistance cell in their apartment: British aviators hid there until they could be smuggled out of the country. Résistants on the run hid out for a few days in their apartment and then set out for a new mission. In August, he reports the exciting advance of the Allied armies toward Paris and during the last week, he reports the street-fighting he saw in Paris during the liberation of the city. The diary ends with his capture of German prisoners huddled on a tank (he pities them), and the triumphal parade of General de Gaulle down the Champs-Élysées. Commemorative events

<mask> is the founder, chairman, and president of the Help Yourself Win Foundation. The foundation is the result of the consolidation of the Help Yourself and Schenectady-Win foundations. Prior to creating the Help Yourself Foundation in 2005, he served for nine years as the president of Beloit College (WI) and fifteen years as President of Union College (NY). In addition, <mask> was founder and president of the Schenectady-Win Foundation. <mask> was also a founder and is president of Avon Associates, a not-for-profit educational consulting firm. Early life and education
Born June 18, 1942, in Kew Gardens, New York, <mask> is the son of Max and <mask>, immigrants from Nazi Germany. <mask> received his bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College in 1964, his bachelor of laws degree from Yale Law School in 1967, his master's of law from the University of Virginia in 1972, and his doctor of juridical science from the University of Virginia in 1974.Career

Law
<mask> began his career as a corporate attorney with White & Case in 1967. While practicing law, he worked, on weekends and during his vacation, on the gubernatorial campaign of Linwood Holton during Holton's successful run for the Governorship of Virginia in 1969. Following Holton's victory, <mask> was appointed to the Board of Visitors of the College of William and Mary. <mask> immediately concluded education was going to be his career and a college presidency his goal. He became special counsel to Governor Holton, where, while simultaneously administering the Governor's legislative program and serving as a political adviser, <mask> obtained his degrees from the University of Virginia. Upon completion of Holton's term and the awarding of his doctorate, <mask> joined the United States Department of State in 1974 and served as Special Assistant to the Chairman and Deputy Director of the National Security Council Interagency Task Force on Law of the Sea. In that capacity, he helped coordinate United States policy for the law of the sea negotiations and negotiate the marine scientific and dispute settlement provisions of the treaty.Academia
In 1976, <mask> became Vice President for Development and Adjunct Professor of Law at Syracuse University. For five years, he successfully oversaw the University's capital campaign and the raising of funds for a number of building projects, including the Carrier Dome, while teaching international law at the law school. <mask> became the eighth president of Beloit College in 1981. During his nine years at Beloit, the College constructed or renovated 10 buildings (where he insisted on a principle of fiscal conservatism that permitted construction to begin only after funds for both the project and an endowment to maintain the finished building were obtained); grew the endowment by 500%; increased the size of the student body and faculty; introduced the concept of "moral obligation" scholarships; had, at 55%, one of the highest percentages nationally of alumni who contributed to the College; instituted intensive language programs in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian; established the principle that any student who was admitted would have the financial ability to attend the College; and created Help Yourself, a program to bring at-risk students, beginning in third grade, to the College for an after-school program that served as the basis for the Help Yourself Foundation he established in 2005. Importantly, <mask> also became, through the creation of Beloit 2000, one of the first college presidents to seek the revitalization of the town in which the college was located. In 1990, Dr. <mask> became the 17th president of Union College and Chancellor of Union University.At Union, he helped raise $250 million; oversaw the construction or renovation of 24 buildings, including the iconic Nott Memorial (again, beginning a project only after funds for construction and a maintenance endowment had been pledged); tripled the College's endowment; created an undergraduate research symposium in which 15% of students presented original research; promoted student volunteer efforts in Schenectady, with 60% participation; had the largest investment in a college's "home town" as a percentage of assets ($26 million) of any college in America, which included the acquisition and renovation of 50 properties and the turning of an industrial brownfield into a greenfield; created a business incubator; established a program in Converging Technologies that brought together engineering and the liberal arts; and formed the Minerva House System, a unique learning/living environment for all faculty and students. As he had in Beloit, <mask> devoted time to the city by co-founding Schenectady 2000, which, in turn, led to the revitalization of Downtown Schenectady

Later
After 15 years as president of Union College, <mask> left Union to form the  Help Yourself Foundation. The foundation, which seeks to take national the program for at-risk grade-school children he established at Beloit College, has programs on college campuses from Massachusetts to Wyoming. In 2011, <mask> created the Alliance Party, a combination of Democrats, Republicans, and independent voters, in an effort to combat one-party rule in Schenectady. Running as the Alliance Party's candidate for mayor, <mask> lost the election by 89 votes in the closest election in Schenectady history. <mask>, in 2015, ran again (and lost) the race for mayor of Schenectady. The Schenectady-Win Foundation was created by <mask> and a group of local business leaders in 2016.It takes unemployed individuals, who did not complete high school, and, over the course of 12–18 months, gives them a high school degree, life skills, construction training, and a guaranteed job upon completion of the program in an effort to take them from welfare to work. In 2017, <mask> and a group of former colleagues and college presidents formed nonprofit Avon Associates. A consulting firm, which charges only for expenses, Avon Associates provides board chairmen of colleges and universities with a forensic analysis during presidential transitions and ongoing, "no-ax-to-grind" advice to presidents of financially challenged institutions. The Help Yourself Foundation and Schenectady-Win were consolidated to form the Help Yourself Win Foundation in 2019. Publications

<mask> (born 15 August 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Cymru Premier side Newtown. Primarily as a central midfielder, he has good vision and passing ability. He began his professional career at Sheffield Wednesday in 2006, and had spells on loan at Mansfield Town and Bury, before establishing himself in the Wednesday first team in the 2008–09 season. He was allowed to join Shrewsbury Town in July 2010, and helped them to win promotion out of League Two in 2011–12. He joined Port Vale on a short-term contract in November 2012, and then signed with Cowdenbeath in March 2013, before joining Scunthorpe United four months later. He helped Scunthorpe to win promotion out of League Two in 2013–14. He signed with Grimsby Town in June 2016 and had a loan spell with York City from December 2017 to January 2018.He joined Chester in January 2019 and then moved on to Newtown eight months later. Career

Early career
<mask> was born in Bolton, Greater Manchester. He started playing at Deans Sports in Swinton before going on a successful trial at Manchester United at the age of nine. He spent three years as a schoolboy at Old Trafford before joining Bolton Wanderers, where he stayed for four years. Sheffield Wednesday
He switched to the Sheffield Wednesday Academy in 2003. Having previously been an unused substitute in the Steel City derby at Hillsborough, <mask> made his first-team debut for Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship the following week on 25 February 2006, coming on as a substitute after 56 minutes when Wednesday were already 3–0 down to Southampton at St Mary's. He did not appear in the first team again until the end-of-season, when he played all 90 minutes of a 2–0 victory against Derby County at Pride Park.He was named as the club's Young Player of the Year for the 2005–06 season. On 19 August 2006, <mask> scored his first senior goal to inspire a Wednesday comeback, as they went on to beat Plymouth Argyle 2–1 at Home Park following his 52nd-minute equaliser. He collected the ball from Burton O'Brien's cross and shot into the top corner of the goal. He would rarely feature in the rest of the 2006–07 season, only making one substitute appearance under Paul Sturrock's successor Brian Laws. Despite this, he signed a new contract in May 2007. After failing to feature for the first team during the start of the 2007–08 season, he was sent out on a one-month loan to League Two club Mansfield Town in September 2007. He made four league starts, and manager Bill Dearden had the loan deal extended to cover a second month.However, he then lost his first-team place at Field Mill, and returned to Wednesday. He then joined Chris Casper's Bury on loan in November 2007, and remained at Gigg Lane for two months without making a first-team appearance. He was recalled by Wednesday as a back-up early into his second month with Bury. He went on to break into the first team again in February 2008, but missed the end-of-season run-in with a calf injury. He signed a two-year contract extension in May 2008. He became a first-team regular in the 2008–09 season, making 42 appearances and claiming three league goals against Preston North End, Crystal Palace, and Reading. However, he lost his first-team spot in September 2009, and later struggled with a stomach injury.He was released by new manager Alan Irvine at the end of the 2009–10 season, after he was limited to 14 appearances throughout the season. Shrewsbury Town
McAllister signed a two-year contract with Shrewsbury Town in July 2010. Manager Graham Turner stated that "McAllister's an attacking, exciting player and I'm a bit surprised he was still on the market. We were a little short in midfield and with his Championship experience he could be a real gain for us." He made his first appearance at the New Meadow as a 77th-minute substitute in a 3–1 victory over Bradford City on 7 August 2010. He was named as Shrewsbury's Player of the Month for August 2010, but found first-team opportunities harder to come by in the second half of the season due to a hernia injury and the arrival of new signings Nicky Wroe and David Davies. He had an operation to correct the hernia injury in February 2011.<mask> made a return to fitness during the 2011–12 pre-season, scoring against a Manchester United XI in a 2–1 home victory in July 2011. He scored his first competitive goal for Shrewsbury when he was recalled to the starting line-up in a 2–0 win over Crewe Alexandra on 20 August. His goal came in the 23rd minute with a glancing header from Lionel Ainsworth's cross. However, the form of Matt Richards and loan signing <mask> again left him sitting on the sidelines for much of the season. Shrewsbury won promotion to League One as runners-up of League Two, although <mask> was not offered a new contract. He said that "Hopefully my experience at a higher level, and the fact that I've got a promotion under my belt, will help my cause. I'm disappointed, I thought I was worth a new deal, but I've had two good years at Shrewsbury."Port Vale
McAllister failed to find a club before the start of the 2012–13 season, despite a trial at Oxford United. In October 2012, he went on trial at Port Vale, after personally ringing manager Micky Adams to enquire about a vacancy in midfield created when Doug Loft picked up an injury. He signed an eight-week contract with Vale on 9 November. The League Two club were in administration, and applied for special permission to sign <mask> after asking the Football League for leniency after they underwent a shortage of available midfielders. He made his debut from the bench at Vale Park on 17 November, replacing Rob Taylor 74 minutes into a 2–2 draw with York City. However, he would only feature twice more for Vale, and left the club on 8 January 2013, with Adams saying "it's unfortunate we weren't able to offer <mask> more first-team opportunities, but that underlines the competition for places we have among the squad, but he's a great kid, a model professional and I'd recommend him anywhere." Cowdenbeath
<mask> joined Scottish First Division club Cowdenbeath in March 2013.He made nine appearances at the end of the 2012–13 season, helping the club to avoid relegation. Scunthorpe United
On 19 July 2013, <mask> made a return to League Two when he signed a one-year contract with Scunthorpe United. He made 43 appearances in the 2013–14 season as Scunthorpe won promotion as divisional runners-up, and was also crowned the club's Player of the Year for his "high energy and consistent performances". He signed a new two-year contract in May 2014. However, after Mark Robins replaced Russ Wilcox as manager, <mask> found first-team football hard to come by in the second half of the 2014–15 season. He made 15 appearances across the 2015–16 season, and was released at the end of the season. Grimsby Town
On 23 June 2016, <mask> signed a two-year contract with newly promoted League Two club Grimsby Town on a free transfer.However, he played just four matches throughout the 2016–17 season as he struggled with what was said to be a recurring groin injury. However he later discovered that he had been misdiagnosed, and was in fact suffering with an ankle related problem. McAllister joined National League North club York City on 8 December 2017 on a one-month loan. He made his debut on 16 December 2017, when starting in a 2–1 away defeat to Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Trophy first round. He finished the loan with four appearances. He was released by Grimsby at the end of the 2017–18 season after making just six appearances in two years. Chester
On 11 January 2019, McAllister joined National League North side Chester.He was signed to form a central midfield partnership with Gary Roberts as Gary Stopforth was ruled out with injury. Manager Bernard Morley praised <mask> for an assured performance in his "Seals" debut appearance against Guiseley. Newtown
On 9 August 2019, McAllister joined Cymru Premier side Newtown. He made 26 appearances in the 2019–20 campaign, which was curtailed early due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, and signed a new contract in June. He featured 26 times in the 2020–21 campaign and was an unused substitute as Newtown beat Caernarfon Town in the play-off final to secure qualification into the newly created UEFA Europa Conference League. Style of play
In describing his playing style, McAllister has said that "I work hard and I read the game well... [and] I like to get forward". Port Vale assistant manager Mark Grew said that "he's a good passer, he has excellent vision and great energy".Career statistics

<mask>, also written Augustiniussen, (born 10 May 1808 at Langset in Nesna municipality, died 22 November 1888 in Nesna) was a Norwegian curate/choirmaster, teacher and politician. Despite a lack of formal education, straight after his confirmation he was appointed as the communal school teacher in his native village of Nesna, and at the young age of 22, he was employed as the village's teacher and choirmaster, a position he held for almost 50 years. He also wrote poems and folk songs, and was very interested in music. <mask> became the first mayor of Nesna in 1838. He was mayor for a total of 14 years. He also held a number of other positions in the local community, and represented the county of Nordland in parliament for eight terms from 1848 to 1870. Only Sivert Nielsen sat more terms in the Storting for Nordland county during the 19th century.He was politically aligned with the farmer's alliance, led by Ole Gabriel Ueland. Initially, like Ueland, he supported Søren Jaabæk and <mask>, but <mask> sympathized more with central parties after a while, as Jaabæk and Sverdrup moved in a more radical direction. Childhood and adolescence
<mask> was born at "Oppigården" in Langset, a farm in Sjona some distance east of the village of Nesna. His parents were Augustinius Larssøn (1762–1815) and Kirstine Olsdatter (1770–1843). His paternal grandfather Lars Johnsen (1720–1767) was a farmer at Sandnes in Nesna, and his maternal grandfather Peder Tønder (1697–1735) had been a lensmann. Augustinius Larssøn was an enterprising fisherman; he owned, among others, both a færing and a six-oared row boat, many fishing nets and longlines, and also rorbu in Kabelvåg. His estate testified to his wealth, especially by the standards at the time, since in addition to the aforementioned boats, he also owned nine cows, a horse and a windmill.Local historian Øyvind Jenssen describes him as a man of "great reputation in the village", for example, he was one of the chosen parishioners who signed the authorization of the electors from Nesna for the Norwegian Constituent Assembly (Riksforsamlingen) in 1814. <mask> was the youngest of seven siblings, but only he and Ole, the brother four years older than him, reached adulthood. <mask>'s father died in 1815, and his mother remarried in 1816 with Møller Andersen Zahl from Handnes who was 20 years her younger. <mask>'s mother died in 1843, and Zahl remarried in 1845 with Anne Pedersdatter from Handnesøya. Jenssen describes her as a warm and good person who <mask> had a good relationship with. <mask> showed little interest in farm work, showing instead a great interest in books. In one of the neighbor's living rooms at Langset, many books were to be found, and he often buried himself among them in order to read.It was said that he was a "lazybones" when it came to farm work, and he could not be counted on either during the harvest when he was in charge of cooking the porridge inside. He would sit on a wooden box and lose himself in his reading, not realizing that the porridge was burning. According to Jenssen however, the people surrounding hims were aware of his literary abilities at an early age, and the parish priest Jens Andreas Krogh "became interested in the bright boy and began to lend him books". Local offices

Teacher and choirmaster

The condition of education in Nesna at the beginning o the 19th century was described as "lamentable". The education <mask> himself had received had mainly been from home and through the priest who lent him books. When he was asked in parliament where he studied, he answered: "Actually I ought to tell you that I was taught at home next to the stove by my mother". It was the curate who was responsible for teaching, and Nesna had been saddled with several awful curates.The curate Müller, in 1811, had to resign his post "due to adultery", and his successor Peter Eggen, who was curate during <mask>'s childhood and early years, had little more success. He was a cobbler without any pedagogical qualifications and liked to drink and "chase women". Jenssen writes that "he had nothing to teach + for the simple reason that he knew nothing". The pastor at the time Christian Qvale testified that "He combined lewdness with the greatest incompetence" ., whilst the later priest Dometius wrote of Eggen that «Han cultivated both Bacchus and Venus and was a general annoyance". This was the reason that despite a lack of schooling, straight after his confirmation, <mask> was employed as the communal school teacher by pastor Krogh. The communal school was meant to be preparation for regular school, where children would learn "how to read" and "the understanding of words". From 1826 he was also a home tutor for pastor Krogh's children.Here he was given access to Krogh's relatively rich library. The regular school in Nesna was built in 1823, 37 years before the common school law of 1860 demanded that schools of more than 30 pupils needed their own school building. It was tradition that the curate was the teacher there. Peter Eggen was finally suspended from his position as curate in 1829 and died the same year. When the curate position became available, <mask> was appointed in 1830, at the young age of 22. The curate was also called "choirmaster", and this title was used for <mask> among others in connection with parliament. He had this position until he became a pensioner in 1878, thus serving for almost 50 years.He was a member of the school commission for the same time period, and also led confirmation education when the priest was too busy. Anton Christian Bang said about this that "his gifted and lively teaching was characterized by seriousness without any expressed warmth". As choirmaster, <mask> was entitled to a municipal curate's farm at Sandenes at the end of Ranfjorden. However, he chose to live in a cramped apartment in the school building. The school building was in 1856 (after renovations in 1853) 20.5 by 9 ells. On the ground floor were the teaching room, kitchen and parlor for the curate, while the rooms on the first floor were used for housing. Originally there was a dormitory in the attic for pupils who lived far away.It was used as a school building up until 1886, and then became housing for the curate. After becoming a pensioner in 1878, <mask> built himself a private residential block on the west wall of the teaching room where he lived for the rest of his life. This house has since been moved a little away. Both the schoolhouse and <mask>'s house still stand at Nesna. The schoolhouse is considered to be "the region's oldest building for permanent, organized teaching for the common people". When <mask> was curate, Jens Andreas Krogh was pastor in Nesna. In 1841 he was succeeded by Georg Greve, who was priest up until 1850 when Rasmus Dometius overtook the position and in 1866 Dometius was succeeded byHenning Stub.Stub and <mask> both resigned in 1878, but according to Jenssen "paradoxically, most the attention surrounded the curate". <mask> left deep traces within the school system in Nesna, managing to extend both the school hours and curriculum. Jenssen refers to <mask>'s teaching career as "a teaching act that both in quality and quantity made a major and positive impact on the development of Nesna". Mayor
The Formannskap laws were passed in 1837 and effective from 1 January 1838. Each prestegjeld would constitute a formannskap (formannskapsdistrikt). The prestegjeld in Nesna consisted at that time of Nesna and Dønnes sockens, and <mask> was one of the three members in the first formannskap in Nesna. The other two were <mask> from Nesna and <mask> Buch from Dønnes.The minutes from the first formannskap meeting are brief:

<mask> had since 1830 been a teacher and choirmaster, and in that capacity also a member of the school commission. In 1835 The Medicinal Journal for Helgeland reported that he had also been engaged as an assistant to the district doctor <mask> Winther in the vaccinating against smallpox. He was 30 years old when he was elected as mayor, and was mayor of Nesna for terms, from 1838 to 1848 and from 1850 to 1854. Only two subsequent mayors of Nesna, Elias Olsen and Arne Langset, have served for an equivalent period. During his first term, the mayoral office was considered an office of trust; the herred often made decisions on the wording, but "it is left to the mayor to make them necessary". This is also shown as the herred was summoned for the first time on 20 October 1839, fifteen months after the mayoral election. The mayor did not seem important enough to take a person out of work unnecessarily.Municipal treasuries
The confidence in <mask> was strongly expressed during his first term as mayor, since he also "worked as the municipality's administrator". It was an old practice that the village's pastor would manage the poor relief fund and the municipal treasury, but when Krogh left Nesna in 1841, the formannskap agreed to a different arrangement. <mask> was employed as treasurer with responsibilities for the poor relief fund, with a wage of two Spd. per year. He was also responsible for the school treasury in Nesna (but not Dønnes) with a wage of one Spd. per year. This agreement was made by the formannskap where <mask> was himself one of the three members, but according to Jenssen no one saw "anything suspicious about this".Jenssen further notes that <mask>'s accounts were always in "exemplary order" in contrast to the accounts of the school treasury in Dønnes, for which he was not responsible. The wage increased over the years, and in 1876 he received 30 Spd. per year for the supervision of the poor relief fund. <mask> was the municipal treasurer until he became a pensioner in 1878; when previous mayor Jacob Fredrik Zahl overtook the position. Zahl was succeeded by Ivar Anton Ivarsen Mehus in 1883, who was also a successor of <mask> in a different capacity in 1884, when he became Nesna's second parliamentary representative. Librarian and other duties
Nesna had had a semi-public book collection, and according to Axel Coldevin a people's book collection was established for Nesna and Hemnes in 1814 after an initiative from bishop Krogh. In 1839, the herred decided to establish a "Common Library for Nesna Prestegjeld".Krogh was appointed as supervisor and accountant of the library, which was actually no more than a collection of book-chests. In 1841 <mask> took over the responsibility and arranged loans from the curate's farm until 1865. In 1844 he stated that the collection consists of 33 new and 88 "ancient" books. Lindstøl states that <mask> was post master in Nesna for 14 years. "Nesna post office" was established by order in
