| ARTICLES RELATED TO 1955 - March | | | |  1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Richard III play - SynopsisThe play begins with Richard eulogising his brother, King Edward IV of England, eldest son of the late Richard, Duke of York.
Now is the winter of our discontent
made glorious summer by this son of York
The speech reveals Richard's jealousy and ambition, as his brother Edward rules the country successfully. Richard is an ugly hunchback, describing himself as "rudely stamp'd" and "deformed, unfinish'd", who cannot "strut before a wanton ambling nymph." He responds to the anguish of his condition with an out ...

His father, Edgar Dick, was a fraud investigator for the United States Department of Agriculture. He had a twin sister, Jane. They were born six weeks premature, and Jane died on 26 January 1929.

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Aikido - Styles The major styles of aikido each have their own Hombu Dojo in Japan, have an international breadth and were founded by direct students of Morihei Ueshiba. Although there has been an explosion of "independent styles" generally only the first five listed have been considered major. Iwama Ryu is a debatable sixth as, although its influence is major, it has until recently been part of the Aikikai (see below).
Aikikai is the largest aikido organization, and is led by the family of the founder. Numerous sub-organisations ...

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Marilyn Monroe - Early life Although she would eventually become one of the most celebrated actors in film history, Monroe's beginnings were humble. She was born in the charity ward of the Los Angeles County Hospital. Her registered name was Norma Jeane Mortenson, but her grandmother, Della Monroe Grainger, later had her baptized Norma Jeane Baker. Most biographers believe her biological father was Charles Stanley Gifford, a salesman for the studio where Monroe's mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe Baker Eley, worked as a film-cutter. However, her birth certificate lists Norwegian Martin Edward Mortenson as her father, and in later years some biographers ha ...

| | | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Elvis Presley - Lasting legacy By 1957 Elvis Presley was the most famous entertainer in the world. After pioneer band leader Bill Haley spawned interest in rock and roll in western Europe, Presley triggered a wide shift in tastes with effects lasting many decades. Singers in dozens of countries made Presley-influenced records in many languages and his own records were sold around the globe, even behind the former Iron Curtain. By 1958 Cliff Richard was rising to prominence in the UK and in France Johnny Hallyday became a rock and roll idol singing in French, soon to be fo ...

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Buenos Aires - Economy Buenos Aires is the financial, industrial, commercial, and cultural hub of Argentina. Its port is one of the busiest in the world; navigable rivers connect it to north-east Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. As a result, it serves as the distribution hub for a vast area of the south-eastern region of the continent.
To the west of Buenos Aires is the Pampa Húmeda, the most productive agricultural region of Argentina (as opposed to the dry southern pampa, mostly used for cattle farms). Meat, dairy, grain, tobacco, wool and ...

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - IKEA - Products IKEA furniture is well known for its modern (often unusual) design. Also, because much of it is self-assembly furniture (also known as "flat-pack"), it is designed to be assembled by the consumer rather than being sold pre-assembled. IKEA claims this permits them to reduce costs and use of packaging by not shipping air—the volume of a bookcase, for example, is considerably less if it is shipped u ...

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Joan Crawford - Adopted children Joan adopted six children, according to L.A. Times articles from the time, though she kept only four.
The first was Christina (born June 11, 1939), whom Crawford adopted in 1940 while she was single. The second was Christopher (born April 1941), whom Joan adopted in June of that year.

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Fidel Castro - Religion Castro is an atheist and has not been a practicing Roman Catholic since his childhood. Pope John XXIII excommunicated Castro on January 3, 1962 on the basis of a 1949 decree by Pope Pius XII forbidding Catholics from supporting communist governments. For Castro, who had previously renounced his Catholic faith, this was an event of very little consequence, nor was it expected to be otherwise. It was primarily aimed at underm ...

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Twenty One game show - Revival There have been two attempts to revive this series under honest terms. The first was as an unsold 1982 pilot starring Jim Lange (this version of the show was called 21, using Arabic numerals instead of words).
Twenty One game show - 1982 pilot.
With Barry and Enright's Bullseye on the way out, the pair was looking for another game to put into the five-a-week syndication market. They decided to try '21' again. The rules were very similar to those of the original show. Contestants played up to five ro ...

| | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Science fiction on television - Japanese television science fiction Known for meticulous use of miniatures and hundreds of sci-fi themed anime, Japan has a long history of producing science fiction series for TV. Only a few of these series are aired outside Japan and even when aired, they tend to be edited, rarely retaining their original storyline. While reasons like violence and sexual context are often presented, these edits are never a perfect solution and needlessly make story confusing. Yet non-anime sci-fi are still largely unknown to foreign audiences. An exception is Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers an ...

| | | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - Robin Hood - Possible locations In modern versions of the legend, Robin Hood is said to have taken up residence in the verdant Sherwood Forest in the county of Nottinghamshire. This is a matter of some considerable contention. The original ballads speak of his being in Barnsdale (the area between Pontefract and Doncaster), some fifty miles north of Sherwood in the county of Yorkshire. This is reinforced for some by the similarity of Locksley to the area of Loxley in Sheffield, where in nearby Tideswell, which was the “Kings Larder” in the Royal Forest of the Pea ...

On July 22, 1796, Cleaveland and his surveyors arrived at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. Cleaveland quickly saw the land, which had previously been acquired by Native Americans, as an ideal location for the "capital city" of the Connecticut Western Reserve.

| | | | | | 1955 - March: Encyclopedia II - History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Reacting and Adapting to the Postmodern World c. 1960 and later By the 1960s and 1970s, as a consequence of its massive, international growth in the post-World War II era, the Church was no longer primarily a Utah-based church, but a world-wide organization. The church, mirroring the world around it, felt the disunifying strains of alien cultures and diverse points of view that had brought an end to the idealistic modern age. At the same time, the postmodern world was increasingly skeptical of traditional religion and authority, and driven by mass-media and public image. These influences awoke within the ...
