Merely six weeks after the Ass sessions were completed, Badfinger entered the studio to begin recording the material for their first Warner Brothers release, Badfinger. Neither Ass nor Badfinger were well-received by music critics, but owing to Badfinger's overwork, their lackluster quality can perhaps be understood in context. Badfinger and its two accompanying singles, "Love Is Easy" and "I Miss You," also did not reach chart positions. Badfinger did manage to consolidate some U.S. fan support in 1 ...

Although Chaplin had his major successes in the United States and was a resident from 1914 to 1952, he retained his British nationality. During the era of McCarthyism, Chaplin was accused of "un-American activities" as a suspected communist; and J. Edgar Hoover, who had instructed the FBI to keep extensive files on him, tried to end his United States residency. FBI pressure on Chaplin grew after his 1942 campaign for a second front in the war, and reached a critical level in the late 1940's, when Congressional figures threatened to call him as a witness in hearings. This was never done, probably because of fear of Chaplin's abi ...

Many different sources claim that Spartacus was either a captured Thracian soldier, or a mutineer who had served in the Roman Army in Macedonia. One of the most common theories is that Spartacus fought in the Roman Army as an auxiliary. The auxiliary forces were made up entirely of men from subject lands, who willingly fought for the Romans. Spartacus deserted the army, was outlawed, captured, sold into slavery, and trained at the gladiatorial school of Batiatus, owned by Lentulus Batiatus, in Capua. He took his ideas from Blossius of Cumae, ...

The core of the organization at its inception in 1966 were close friends Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, and Richard Aoki in the city of Oakland, California. The three had been witness to a radical ferment in the Bay Area and the United States, taking part in protests against the Vietnam War and having an interest in the American Civil Rights Movement. Like many people of color of their generation, Newton and Seale had been frustrated by the doctrine of nonviolence as espoused by mainstream civil rights leaders such as the Rev. Dr. Marti ...

In the post World War II years the United States Strategic Air Command was based at three major airfields in eastern England; RAF Lakenheath, RAF Marham and RAF Sculthorpe. The increasing tension of the Cold War led to a re-evalutation of these deployments and move further west, behind RAF fighter forces, to RAF Greenham Common, RAF Brize Norton, RAF Upper Heyford and RAF Fairford. Of these airfields Greenham Common was perhaps the least developed, beginning in 1951 SAC spent over £2m building a new 10,000ft runway and massive new ha ...

In 1977, Irving released his most notorious book, Hitler’s War, the first of his two-part biography on Adolf Hitler. In it, Irving tried to describe the war from “Hitler’s point of view.” He painted a favorable picture of Hitler - as one would if describing it from Hitler's own view as Hitler saw himself to be supreme, so painting him in a negative light while doing it from his own point of view would be self sabotage - portraying him as a rational, intelligent politician, whose only goal was to increase Germany’s prosperity ...

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 ...

Some in the gay community believe that Cooper's sexual orientation is an "open-secret" and want him to publicly 'come out'. It has been further claimed, e.g. on blogACTIVE, that discussion of Cooper's sexuality is increasingly seen as a liability to his career and so is no longer acknowledged; "his handlers at CNN [are] known to call sites and ask editors to delete references to Anderson Cooper being gay." Blogger Andy Towle referred to Cooper as "the most openly closeted gay man in America" after reading a New York Mag ...

Hank Aaron is an Eagle Scout and recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award, the highest adult award given by the Boy Scouts of America. Despite hitting more career home runs than any other player, Hank Aaron's single-season high was 47. This figure puts him in a tie for the 64th-best season mark by a hitter. His second-best total, 45, is only tied for 100th-best. However, the compensating fact is his career was remarkably stable with no major absences or interruptions such as medical leaves.
