'''Liane Cartman''', originally voiced by the late [[Mary Kay Bergman]] and later by [[Eliza Schneider|Eliza J. Schneider]] and [[April Stewart]], is the single parent of [[Eric Cartman]] on the television program ''[[South Park]]''. She is infamous for being an [[intersexuality|intersexual]], and is very promiscuous, often with total strangers.

== Character ==

Ms. Cartman is about average height for a woman in ''South Park''. She has brown hair and wears a light blue top with red trousers. She shows great deference to her overweight son [[Eric Cartman|Eric]] and has been seen on numerous occasions bowing to his will. It is seen that they have a great bond with each other. However, since the episode "[[Tsst]]", she has begun to grow resistant to his whining and his demands—seen in a way in "[[Go God Go]]" and "[[Go God Go XII]]", where she is quite stern with [[Eric Cartman|Eric]] when he shows great impatience regarding the release date of the [[Wii]] console, although this may have been because she doesn't approve of modern day technology. However, in [[Cartman Sucks]], she questions Mrs Broflovski about Eric's photograph, showing her resistance may have weakened.

Liane is a good-natured individual but with a definite edge to her. Her voice is usually kind and soft, and her actions are usually to aid others, particularly [[Eric Cartman|Eric]]. She is also very sexually active and regularly pursues this activity. She is reputedly a [[crack cocaine|crack]] [[whore]], and has taken part in German "[[Coprophilia|''Scheiße'' movies]]". She also has no issue with commencing sexual relations with complete strangers, usually visitors to the home.

Although Liane is constantly having sex, and ignores the presence of anyone around her to sexually persuade men into her bedroom, it is slightly unknown if Eric knows the full extent to what his mom really does behind closed doors. Eric has come across various numbers of [[porn]] sights and "family videos" gone awry, but seems to either ignore the fact that his mom is a slut or looks as it to be just his sweet, loving mother conned out of her own environment. Eric knows not to complain to his mother, probably already figuring out that if he makes her feel bad about hurting her son, she will eventually turn on him and no longer spoil him in the natural way. Even in the episode "[[Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut]]" and "[[Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut]]" where it is revealed to Eric that his mom has had sex with the entire town, he still has no conversations with his mom about her secret life.

== Family and friends ==

Her major family link in the show is her son, [[Eric Cartman|Eric]]. She spoils and mothers him to a great degree, a major factor in his [[obesity]] and general attitude. The extended Cartman family is seen in "[[Merry Christmas, Charlie Manson!]]," and then later in "[[Cartmanland]];" they seem to have many of Cartman's characteristics, including obesity, rudeness and even some of the same catchphrases, such as "Kickass!" and "Respect my authoritah!" Interestingly Liane seems to be the only Cartman without these traits.

In terms of friends, she seems integrated into the circle of parents around the town. She is often seen with [[Stan Marsh|Stan]]'s parents among the others when they congregate. However, the episode "[[Tsst!]]" seems to imply that Liane has few or no friends, and that her servitude to her son is a psychological attempt to make up for that.

== Major episode appearences ==

==== "[[Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut]]" ====

In this episode it is revealed that she has slept with almost every adult in South Park (except Halfy who has no legs), including Chief Running Water, Chef, Mr. Garrison, Principal Victoria, the mayor, Jesus, Priest Maxi, Mephisto, his assistant Kevin, Jimbo, Ned, Gerald Broflovski, and the 1989/1991 Denver Broncos. She also explains sex to Cartman; ''"sometimes the man puts his [[penis|who-who-dilly]] in the woman's [[vagina|cha-cha]]"''.

==== "[[Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut]]" ====

It is in this episode that it is learned that Ms. Cartman was her son's father: thus she is a [[intersexual]]; called a [[hermaphrodite]] in the show.

==== "[[Tsst]]" ====

To help control [[Eric Cartman|Eric]]'s behavioral issues, she hires the help of [[Cesar Millan]]. He teaches her a method of curbing [[Eric Cartman|Eric]]'s temper and whining by a method he uses on [[dogs]], that is poking (with two fingers) the subject in the neck, making the [[onomatopoeia|onomatopoeic]] noise "Tsst!", but otherwise completely ignoring him unless he acts fully submissive. This approach works, and Liane is overjoyed. She tries to form a relationship (either romantic or platonic) with [[Cesar Millan|Cesar]], but he turns her down as she is just a client, and she soon begins to spoil Cartman again.

Montparnasse

2003-06-11T03:36:33Z

64.228.30.30: link Libion

'''Montparnasse''' is an area of [[Paris, France|Paris]], [[France]], on the [[Left Bank|left bank]] of the river [[Seine]], centered on the intersection of the Boulevard de Montparnasse and the Boulevard Raspail. It is part of the [[14ème arrondissement, Paris|14eme arrondissement]], having been absorbed into Paris along with other districts and villages in [[1860]].

The area also gives its name to:
* [[Gare Montparnasse]] (trains to [[Brittany]], [[TGV]] to [[Tours]], [[Bordeaux]], [[Le Mans]].)
* [[Cimetiere de Montparnasse]] (The Montparnasse Cemetery)
* [[Tour Montparnasse]]

The name Montparnasse stems from the nickname "[[Mount Parnassus]]" (''In [[Greek mythology]], home to the nine Greek goddesses (the [[Muses]]) of the arts and sciences'') given to the neighborhood in the [[17th century]] by students who came there to recite poetry.

The hill was levelled to construct the Boulevard Montparnasse in the [[18th century]], and during the [[French Revolution]] many dance halls and [[cabaret]]s opened their doors.

Like its counterpart, [[Montmartre]], the neighborhood of Montparnasse became famous at the beginning of the [[20th century]], referred to as the ''Années Folles'' (the Crazy Years), when it was the heart of intellectual and artistic life in Paris with its legendary cafés. In the years between 1910 to 1940, the gist of Paris' artistic circles gradually moved from Montmartre to Montparnasse.
<table align=right><tr><td>[[Image:Mapmontp.jpg]]</td></tr><tr><td><center>'''- The ''Heart'' of Montparnasse -'''</center></td></tr></table>

Turn-of-the-century Montparnasse defined the term "starving artist" as virtually penniless [[painter]]s, [[sculptor]]s, [[writer]]s, [[poet]]s and [[composers]] came from around the world to thrive in the creative atmosphere and for the cheap rent at artist communes such as [[La Ruche]]. Living without running water, in damp, unheated "studios" often as not overrun by rats, many sold their works for a few francs just to buy food. [[Jean Cocteau]] once said that poverty was a luxury in Montparnasse. First promoted by art dealers such as [[Henry Kahnweiler]], today, works by those desperately poor artists sell in the millions of dollars.

Just a few of the other great minds who gathered in Montparnasse were:

[[Pablo Picasso]], [[Guillaume Apollinaire]], [[Ossip Zadkine]], [[Moise Kisling]], [[Marc Chagall]], [[Nina Hamnett]], [[Fernand Leger]], [[Jacques Lipchitz]], [[Max Jacob]], [[Blaise Cendrars]], [[Chaim Soutine]], [[Amedeo Modigliani]], [[Ford Madox Ford]], [[Ezra Pound]], [[Marcel Duchamp]], [[Suzanne Duchamp|Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti]], [[Constantin Brancusi]], [[Paul Fort]], [[Juan Gris]], [[Diego Rivera]], [[Tsuguharu Foujita]], [[Marie Vassilieff]], [[Léon-Paul Fargue]], [[Alberto Giacometti]], [[Andre Breton]], [[Pascin]], [[Salvador Dali]], [[Jean-Paul Sartre]], [[Henry Miller]], [[Joan Miro]] and in his declining years, [[Edgar Degas]].

Montparnasse was a community where creativty was embraced with all its oddities, each new arrival welcomed unreservedly by its existing members. When [[Tsuguharu Foujita]] arrived from [[Japan]] in 1913 not knowing a soul, he met [[Chaim Soutine|Soutine]], [[Amedeo Modigliani|Modigliani]], [[Pascin]] and [[Fernand Leger|Leger]] virtually the same night and within a week became friends with [[Juan Gris]], [[Pablo Picasso]] and [[Henri Matisse]]. In 1914, when the [[England|English]] painter [[Nina Hamnett]] arrived in Montparnasse, on her first evening the smiling man at the next table at the Rotonde graciously introduced himself as "Modigliani, painter and jew". They became good friends, Hamnett later recounting how she once borrowed a jersey and corduroy trousers from [[Amedeo Modigliani|Modigliani]], then went to ''La Rotonde'' and danced in the street all night.

While most of the artistic community gathered in Montparnasse were struggling to eke out an existence, well-heeled [[United States|American]] socialites such as [[Peggy Guggenheim]] and [[Edith Wharton]] from [[New York City]] and [[Harry Crosby]] from [[Boston]] were caught in the fever of creativity. Crosby and his wife [[Caresse Crosby|Caresse]] would establish the [[Black Sun Press]] in Paris in [[1927]], publishing works by such future luminaries as [[D. H. Lawrence]], [[Archibald MacLeish]], [[James Joyce]], [[Kay Boyle]], [[Hart Crane]], [[Ernest Hemingway]], [[William Faulkner]], [[Dorothy Parker]] and others.

The cafés and bars of Montparnasse were a vital meeting place where new ideas were hatched and mulled over. The cafés at the centre of Montparnasse's night-life were in the Carrefour Vavin, now renamed Place Pablo-Picasso. The cafés ''Le Dôme'', ''La Closerie des Lilas'', ''La Rotonde'', ''Le Select'', and ''La Coupole'' were where, in Montparnasse's hey-day from 1910-20, starving artists could occupy a table all evening for a few centimes. If they fell asleep, the waiters were instructed not to wake them. Arguments were common, some fueled by intellect, others by alcohol, and if there were fights, and there often were, the police were never summoned. If you couldn't pay your bill, people such as La Rotonde's proprietor, [[Victor Libion]], would often accept a drawing, holding it until the artist could pay. As such, there were times when the café's walls were littered with a collection of artworks, that today would make the curators of the world's greatest museums drool with envy.

There were many areas where the great artists congregated, one of them being near Le Dôme at no. 10 rue Delambre called the Dingo Bar. It was the celebrated hang-out of artists and expatriate Americans and the place where Canadian writer [[Morley Callaghan]] came with his friend [[Ernest Hemingway]], both still unpublished writers, and met the already established [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]]. When [[Man Ray|Man Ray's]] friend and [[Dadaism|Dadaist]], [[Marcel Duchamp]], left for [[New York, New York|New York]], Man Ray set up his first studio at l'Hôtel des Ecoles at no. 15 rue Delambre. This is where his career as a [[photographer]] began, and where [[James Joyce]], [[Gertrude Stein]], [[Jean Cocteau]] and the others filed in and posed for eternity in black and white.

The ''rue de la Gaité'' in Montparnasse was the site of many of the great music-hall theatres, in particular the famous "Bobino." <table align=left><tr><td>[[Image:ClubBobino.jpg]]</td></tr><tr><td><center>'''- ''Bobino Nightclub'' - '''</center></td></tr></table>On their stages, the greats of the day, using then-popular single name [[pseudonym]]s or one birth name only, such as [[Marie-Louise Damien|Damia]], [[Alice Prin|Kiki]], [[Félix Mayol|Mayol]] and [[Georges Guibourg|Georgius]], sang and performed to packed houses. And here too, [[Les Six]] was formed, creating music based on the ideas of [[Erik Satie]] and [[Jean Cocteau]].

The poet [[Max Jacob]] said he came to Montparnasse to "''sin disgracefully''," but [[Marc Chagall]] summed it up more elegantly when he explained why he had gone to Montparnasse: "''I aspired to see with my own eyes what I had heard of from so far away: this revolution of the eye, this rotation of colors, which spontaneously and astutely merge with one another in a flow of conceived lines. That could not be seen in my town. The sun of Art then shone only on Paris.''"

While the area attracted people from all over the world who came to live and work in the creative and/or [[bohemian]] environment, it also became home for political exiles such as [[Vladimir Lenin]], [[Leon Trotsky]], [[Porfirio Diaz]], and [[Simon Petlyura]]. But, [[World War II]] forced the dispersal of the artistic society and after the war Montparnasse never regained its splendour. Wealthy socialites like [[Peggy Guggenheim]] (1898-1979), who married artist [[Max Ernst]], lived in the elegant section of Paris but frequented the studios of Montparnasse, acquiring what would become masterpieces that today hang in the [[Peggy Guggenheim Collection|Peggy Guggenheim Museum]] in [[Venice, Italy]].

The Musée du Montparnasse opened in 1998 at 21 Avenue du Maine. Although operating with a tiny city grant, the museum is a non-profit operation, pulled together by local Montparnasse fans and friends of art.

The quarter also contains the Institut [[Louis Pasteur]], the ancient [[Catacombs of Paris]] and the [[Cimetiere de Montparnasse]] where many of these great artists are buried.

Père Lachaise Cemetery

[[nl:Père Lachaise]][[sv:le Père Lachaise]]
'''Père Lachaise''' is the largest [[cemetery]] in [[Paris, France|Paris]], and one of the most [[List of famous cemeteries|famous cemeteries]] in the world. Pere-Lachaise Cemetery is reputed to be the most visited cemetery in the world, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors a year to the grave sites of artists and writers. The cemetery is a veritable roll-call of the great and good who have illuminated all facets of French and Parisian life over the past 200 years or so. It is also the location of five Great War memorials.
<table align=right><tr><td>[[Image:HeloiseAdelard.jpg]]</td></tr><tr><td><center><small>''Abélard & Héloïse''</small></center></td></tr></table>

The name has its origins in Père François de La Chaise ([[1624]] - [[1709]]). He was the confessor of [[Louis XIV]], and lived in the [[Jesuit]] house rebuilt in [[1682]] on the site of the chapel. The property, situated on the side of a hill from which the king, during the [[Fronde]], watched skirmishing between the [[Condé]] and [[Turenne]], was bought by the city in 1804 and laid out by Brongniart, and later extended.

It was established by [[Napoleon I|Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte]] in [[1804]], where cemeteries had been banned in 1786 after the shutting down of the Cimetière des Innocents, on the fringe of [[Les Halles]] food market, on the grounds that it presented a health hazard. Several new cemeteries replaced all the Parisian ones, outside the precincts of the capital, in the early 19th century, [[Cimetière de Montmartre]] in the north, Le Père Lachaise in the east and [[Cimetiere de Montparnasse|Cimetière de Montparnasse]] in the south. At the heart of the city, and today, sitting in the shadow of the [[Eiffel Tower]], is [[Cimetière de Passy]].

At the time the cemetery opened, it was seen as too far from the city and attracted very few interments. As such, the administrators devised a marketing strategy and with great fanfare, organized the transfer of the remains of [[La Fontaine]] and [[Molière]], in 1804. Then, in another great spectacle in 1817, the purported remains of [[Pierre Abélard]] and [[Heloise|Héloïse]] were also transferred to the cemetery with their monument's canopy made from fragments of the abbey of Nogent-sur-Seine. All this marketing strategy resulted in a great many people clamoring to be buried with such famous citizens. Records show that within a few years, the cemetery went from a few dozen permanent residents to more than 33,000.

In the grounds there is also the [[Communards' Wall]] (French ''Mur des Fédérés'') against which 147 communards, the leaders of the [[Paris Commune]] were shot on [[May 28]] [[1871]] after the fall of the commune.

[[Bill Richardson]] wrote a book called '''Waiting for Gertrude''' which is set in the cemetery. The characters in the book are cats, reincarnated from those buried within.

There are many famous people buried in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Some of them are:

[[de:Halifax]]
'''Halifax''' is a [[Canada|Canadian]] city, the provincial capital and largest city of [[Nova Scotia]], and the economic centre of the [[Atlantic Provinces]]. As of [[1991]] the city contained 114,455 inhabitants, and in the late 1990s, all of [[Halifax County, Nova Scotia|Halifax County]] was amalgamated into the "Halifax Regional Municipality" or HRM, including neighbouring [[Dartmouth, Nova Scotia|Dartmouth]] and [[Sable Island]], 180km offshore. The population HRM exceeds 350,000.

People from Halifax are called Haligonians.

Halifax was founded in [[1749]] as a [[military]] outpost for the [[Great Britain|British]] with a handful of farming settlers. It has the second-largest natural [[harbour]] in the world, which is also well protected and ideal for a military base, [[Citadel Hill]].

When the [[Titanic]] sank in [[1912]], the search effort was coordinated in Halifax and recovered bodies were brought here and buried in the [[Fairview Cemetery]]. (Following the 1997 movie, therefore, the residents had to put up with seveal years worth of Titanic-tourists, a tacky Titanic Shop downtown, and endless weepy movie fans leaving flowers on the grave of the engineer who was the movies main character. (Source: a sardonic Haligonian))

Convoys of naval fleets would assemble in the [[Bedford Basin]] before heading out on duty. One particularly [[fog|foggy]] morning during [[World War I]] resulted in the worst man-made explosion prior to [[nuclear weapons]], the [[Halifax Explosion]]. An incoming ship laden with armaments struck an outgoing ship at the mouth of the harbour. Both caught fire and were abandoned, and minutes later the arms ship exploded, flattening a large portion of the city and killing hundreds. (Thousands? Find out exact numbers.)

Presently the city still serves a major military purpose, as home of the East Coast [[Canadian Navy]], and is Canada's largest naval base. The waterfront witnesses the brawny marine commerce of the North [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] Great Circle route along with Canada's East Coast Navy.

Halifax is home to five degree-granting [[post-secondary]] educational institutions: [[Dalhousie University]], [[Saint Mary's University]], The [[University of King's College]], [[Mount Saint Vincent University]] and The [[Nova Scotia College of Art and Design]]. The Former Technical University of Nova SCotia is now integrated with Dalhousie as Daltech. King's College shares Arts and Science Faculty with Dalhousie.

One of Halifax's first mayors, [[Alexander Keith]], was a brewer and produced [[Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale]]. Alexander Kieth's beer is, however, more noteworthy for its television commercials than for its taste. If you do visit Halifax, you would do well to sample the variety of locally brewed beers: Garrison's Brown and Red Ales, Propeller Extra Special Bitter, and the products of the various brewpubs including the Granite Brewery, the Rogue's Roost, and the (quite new) Olde Halifax Alehouse.

'''Samuel Cunard''' -- (1787-1865), shipping magnate

Samuel Cunard was born on [[November 21]], [[1787]] in [[Halifax, Nova Scotia]], [[Canada]], the son of a master carpenter and timber merchant.

A highly successful entrepreneur in Halifax shipping, and one of a group of twelve individuals who dominated the affairs of Nova Scotia, Samuel Cunard went to [[England]] where he set up a joint venture with several other businessmen to bid on the rights to run a transatlantic shipping company between England and [[North America]]. Successful in his bid, the company would eventually bear his name, becoming [[Cunard Steamship Lines|Cunard Steamship Limited]].

In [[1840]] the company’s first steamship, the ''Britannia'', sailed from [[Liverpool, England]] to [[Boston, Massachusetts]] marking the beginning of regular passenger and cargo service. The prosperous company eventually absorbed Canadian Northern Steamships Limited and its principal competition, the White Star Line, owners of the ill-fated, ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]''. After that, Cunard dominated the Atlantic passenger trade with some of the world’s most famous liners.

In 1859, Samuel Cunard was knighted by [[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]]. In Halifax, at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, the entire second floor has been dedicated to his life and his world famous shipping line

Sir Samuel Cunard died on [[April 28]], [[1865]] at [[Kensington]], [[London, England]] and is buried there in the [[Brompton Cemetery]].

City of Halifax (Nova Scotia)

2003-06-11T01:40:49Z

[[de:Halifax]]
'''Halifax''' is a [[Canada|Canadian]] city, the provincial capital and largest city of [[Nova Scotia]], and the economic centre of the [[Atlantic Provinces]]. As of [[1991]] the city contained 114,455 inhabitants, and in the late 1990s, all of [[Halifax County, Nova Scotia|Halifax County]] was amalgamated into the "Halifax Regional Municipality" or HRM, including neighbouring [[Dartmouth, Nova Scotia|Dartmouth]] and [[Sable Island]], 180km offshore. The population HRM exceeds 350,000.

People from Halifax are called Haligonians.

Halifax was founded in [[1749]] as a [[military]] outpost for the [[Great Britain|British]] with a handful of farming settlers. It has the second-largest natural [[harbour]] in the world, which is also well protected and ideal for a military base, [[Citadel Hill]].

When the [[Titanic]] sank in [[1912]], the search effort was coordinated in Halifax and recovered bodies were brought here and buried in the [[Fairview Cemetery]]. (Following the 1997 movie, therefore, the residents had to put up with seveal years worth of Titanic-tourists, a tacky Titanic Shop downtown, and endless weepy movie fans leaving flowers on the grave of the engineer who was the movies main character. (Source: a sardonic Haligonian))

Convoys of naval fleets would assemble in the [[Bedford Basin]] before heading out on duty. One particularly [[fog|foggy]] morning during [[World War I]] resulted in the worst man-made explosion prior to [[nuclear weapons]], the [[Halifax Explosion]]. An incoming ship laden with armaments struck an outgoing ship at the mouth of the harbour. Both caught fire and were abandoned, and minutes later the arms ship exploded, flattening a large portion of the city and killing hundreds. (Thousands? Find out exact numbers.)

Presently the city still serves a major military purpose, as home of the East Coast [[Canadian Navy]], and is Canada's largest naval base. The waterfront witnesses the brawny marine commerce of the North [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] Great Circle route along with Canada's East Coast Navy.

Halifax is home to five degree-granting [[post-secondary]] educational institutions: [[Dalhousie University]], [[Saint Mary's University]], The [[University of King's College]], [[Mount Saint Vincent University]] and The [[Nova Scotia College of Art and Design]]. The Former Technical University of Nova SCotia is now integrated with Dalhousie as Daltech. King's College shares Arts and Science Faculty with Dalhousie.

One of Halifax's first mayors, [[Alexander Keith]], was a brewer and produced [[Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale]]. Alexander Kieth's beer is, however, more noteworthy for its television commercials than for its taste. If you do visit Halifax, you would do well to sample the variety of locally brewed beers: Garrison's Brown and Red Ales, Propeller Extra Special Bitter, and the products of the various brewpubs including the Granite Brewery, the Rogue's Roost, and the (quite new) Olde Halifax Alehouse.

'''Big Daddy''' was an [[England|English]] [[wrestling|wrestler]]. He was born in [[Halifax, England]] in 1930 (or 1937) as '''Shirley Crabtree''' and after stints as a miner and in the army he followed his father and became a professional wrestler in 1952. He won both the [[British Wrestling Federation|BWF]] British and European heavyweight titles in 1960 but quit in 1963.

With the rising popularity of the spectacle on television (''World of Sport'' on [[ITV]]) he returned to wrestling with All Star Promotions and took on the ''Big Daddy'' persona in 1976. Weighing around 170 kg his trademarks were 'belly butts' followed by a 'belly splash' on recumbent opponents, his weight and age precluded many other moves. Playing the 'good guy' his chief rival was ''[[Giant Haystacks]]''. In 1987 fellow wrestler Malcolm King died after a splash. ITV dropped wrestling from its schedules in 1988.

Crabtree died on [[December 2]], [[1997]] in Halifax of a heart attack.

Donald Regan

2003-06-11T01:10:09Z

64.228.30.30:

'''Donald Thomas Regan''' ([[December 21]], [[1918]] - [[June 10]], [[2003]]) was the 66th [[United States Secretary of the Treasury]], from [[1981]] to [[1985]], and chief of staff from [[1985]] to [[1987]] in the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] [[President of the United States of America|administration]], where he became an advocate for [[supply-side economics]] and tax cuts to create jobs and stimulate production. Regan was criticized for his prime-ministerial style and his involvement in the [[Iran-Contra Affair]].

<div style="float:left;margin:0 1em 1em 0;">[[Image:Donaldtregan-1.jpg| ]] <br><center><small>Donald Regan<br>c1982</small></center></div>

Born in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]], Regan earned his [[bachelor's degree]] in [[English]] from [[Harvard University]] in [[1940]] and then joined the [[United States Marine Corps]] at the outset of [[World War II]] reaching the rank of [[lieutenant colonel]]. He served in the Pacific theater and was involved in five major campaigns, including Guadalcanal and Okinawa. After the War, he joined [[Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.]] in [[1946]] as an account executive trainee, working up through the ranks, eventually taking over as Merrill Lynch's chairman and CEO in [[1971]], the year the company went public. He held those titles until [[1980]].

Regan was one of the original directors of the [[Securities Investment Protection Corporation]] and, from [[1973]] to [[1975]], was vice chairman of the [[New York Stock Exchange]].

President Ronald Reagan selected Regan in [[1981]] to serve as Treasury secretary, becoming the mouthpiece for supply-side economics (also called [[Reaganomics]]). He helped engineer tax reform, reduce income tax rates and ease the tax burden on corporations. Regan unexpectedly switched jobs with then chief of staff [[James Baker]] in [[1985]], a position he kept until [[1987]], when he was pressured to resign for his involvement with Iran-Contra.

Regan's book, ''[[For the Record: From Wall Street to Washington]]'' (ISBN 0151639663), exposes his disagreements with [[First Lady]] [[Nancy Reagan]] including claims that Nancy's personal [[astrologer]] helped steer the President's speaking decisions.

Regan retired quietly in [[Virginia]] with [[Ann Buchanan Regan]], his wife of over sixty years. Late in life, he spent nearly ten hours a day in his art studio painting landscapes, some of which sold for thousands of dollars and hang in museums. Regan had four children and nine grandchildren.

Regan died of [[cancer]] at the age of 84 in a hospital near his home in [[Williamsburg, Virginia]].

Secretariat (horse)

2003-01-15T03:09:29Z

64.228.30.30:

'''Secretariat''' was a [[Thoroughbred]] racehorse (Sire: Bold Ruler -- Dam: Somethingroyal) born on [[May 30]], [[1970]]

Ridden by jockey [[Ron Turcotte]], he won the [[1973]] [[Kentucky Derby]], [[Preakness Stakes]], and [[Belmont Stakes]], making him the first [[Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing|Triple Crown]] winner in a quarter of a century, long enough that many racing fans had thought it would never happen again.

Secretariat's race records in the Derby and the Belmont stand to this day; his run in the Belmont is not only a race record, but the world record for a mile and a half on a dirt track.

His winning margin of more than 31 lengths in the long and gruelling Belmont Stakes is remembered as one of the most dramatic events in [[thoroughbred horse race|thoroughbred racing]] history. He was nicknamed "Big Red" by his legion of fans, and in a survey of the 100 greatest athletes of the 20th century, he was listed 35th, the only non-human on the list.

He was retired to [[stud]] at the end of that racing season, after six more victories, two second-place finishes, and third place in his last race.

Secretariat died on [[October 4]], [[1989]].

Peter Tosh

'''Peter Tosh''' (1944-1987), musician

Arrogant, brash and bitter, [[reggae]] pioneer '''Peter Tosh''' was the Malcom X to former bandmate [[Bob Marley]]'s [[Martin Luther King]], Jr.

Born Winston Hubert McIntosh on [[October 9]], [[1944]], young Peter grew up in the [[Kingston, Jamaica]] slum of [[Trenchtown]]. Although his short-fuse temper usually kept him in trouble, earning him the nickname "Stepping Razor," he began to sing and learn [[guitar]] at a young age, inspired by the American stations he could pick up on his radio. In the early '60s he met Bob Marley and [[Bunny Livingston]] through his guitar teacher, [[Joe Higgs]]. In [[1962]] the trio formed the Wailing Wailers with Junior Braithwaite and back-up singers [[Beverly Kelso]] and [[Cherry Smith]]. The Wailing Wailers had a huge ska hit with their first single, "Simmer Down," and recorded several more successful singles before Braithwaite, Kelso and Smith left the band in late [[1965]]. Marley spent much of [[1966]] in America with his mother, but he returned to Jamaica in early [[1967]] with a renewed interest in music and a new spirituality. McIntosh and Bunny followed his lead, and the three became heavily involved in the [[Rastafarian]] movement. Soon afterwards, they formed the Wailers.

Veering away from the up-tempo dance of ska, the band slowed down to a rock-steady pace, and infused their lyrics with political and social messages. The Wailers penned several songs for American singer [[Johnny Nash]] before teaming up with production wizard [[Lee Perry]] to record some of reggae's earliest hits including "Soul Rebel," "Duppy Conqueror" and "Small Axe." With the addition of bassist [[Aston Barret|Aston "Family Man" Barrett]] and his brother, drummer [[Carlton Barret|Carlton]] in [[1970]], the Wailers became [[Caribbean]] [[superstar|superstars]]. The band earned a record contract with Island and released their debut, ''[[Catch a Fire]]'', in [[1972]]; following it up with Burnin' the following year.

In [[1973]], McIntosh accidentally drove his car off a bridge, killing his girlfriend at the time and severely fracturing his own skull. He survived, but became even harder to deal with. After [[Island Records]] president [[Chris Blackwell]] refused to issue his solo album in [[1974]], the volatile McIntosh left the Wailers.

McIntosh became bitter with his ex-bandmate, claiming that the only reason Marley was so successful was that his father was white. McIntosh began recording under the name Peter Tosh, and released his solo debut, ''[[Legalize It]]'', in [[1976]] on [[CBS Records]]. The title track soon became an anthem for the marijuana movement and was a favorite at Tosh's concerts. As Marley preached his "One Love" message, Tosh railed against the hypocritical "shitstem," and became a favorite target of the Jamaican police. He proudly wore his scars that he had received from the beatings he endured. Always taking the militant approach, he released ''[[Equal Rights]]'' in [[1977]]. His lyric "I don't want no peace, I want equal rights and justice!" would become a rallying cry for the world's downtrodden masses.

''[[Bush Doctor]]'' ([[1978]]), ''[[Mystic Man]]'' ([[1979]]), and ''[[Wanted: Dread or Alive]]'' followed. Released on the Rolling Stones' personal label, Tosh tried to gain some mainstream success while keeping his militant views, but was largely unsuccessful, especially compared to Marley's achievements. After the release of [[1983]]'s ''[[Mama Africa]]'', Tosh went into self-imposed exile, seeking the spiritual advice of traditional medicine men in Africa, and trying to free himself from recording agreements that distributed his records in [[South America]].

Shortly after the release of his [[1987]] album, ''[[No Nuclear War]]'', Tosh was assassinated at his own home. He died on [[May 11]], [[1987]]. Only one of the three men was caught. One of Tosh's personal friends, the man was sentenced to hang for his act of betrayal.
