 Zircon - UK Eyes Alpha
Subsequent verdicts on the affair from two figures who were closely involved and still believe in the principle of de-unionization, but who felt deep reservations about its 'handling' - in other words, the politics of what was done - are instructive.
Tovey's vision of ZIRCON was to survive from 1983, when the Cabinet Office approved initial studies, to the autumn of 1986.
ZIRCON had been conceived by Brian Tovey to keep the special relationship sweet and to take his organization into space, the next logical area of sigint development.

 NCAW Autumn 04 Mishoe Brennecke on Edouard Manet and the Execution of Maximilian
Because the Maximilian affair had embarrassed Napoleon III and cast grave doubt over the soundness of his foreign policies, imperial censors were alert to all representations of the execution.
Ambré had a brief affair with the monarch, which she used to full advantage, claiming he had bestowed the title Comtesse d'Amboise upon her and showered her with priceless jewels that enhanced her glamorous stage presence.
News of Maximilian's death reached Paris ten days later and immediately the French court went into mourning, but their expressions of grief could not mask the fact that Napoleon III had aided Maximilian's assumption of power in Mexico and then abandoned him to hostile forces.

 Autumn in New York. A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review.
The passion and poignancy of classical romance take on a contemporary edge in Autumn in New York, the story of a once-in-a-lifetime love affair that unfolds in a single brief season.
At first glance Autumn in New York may not seem to embody any aspects of Christianity.However, at a deeper level there are redeemable qualities, beyond the explicit sexual exploits, that sheds light on an otherwise apparently immoral film.
Autumn in New York follows the sexual exploits of Will Keane (RICHARD GERE) - New York restaurateur, infamous verging-on-50 playboy, master of the no-commitment seduction - until he runs into an unexpected dead end when he meets Charlotte Fielding (WINONA RYDER).

 Today in History: September 19
On September 19, 1819, English poet John Keats, inspired by the beauty of the changing season, wrote "To Autumn," a three-stanza ode to the splendor, bounty, and melancholy of fall.
With the exception of "To Autumn," written in September, the odes were composed between March and June of 1819.
Struggling with his own fatal illness, while mourning his brother's recent death, during this period Keats carried on an intense love affair with Fanny Brawne to whom he later became engaged.

 The Life of John Milton Vol. 3 1643-1649
From that time, on through the rest of the autumn of 1643 and the winter of 1643-4, we are to fancy him in his house in Aldersgate Street, with his father and his pupils for his companions, and his thoughts much occupied, like those of other Englishmen, with the course of public events.
Although the Scottish Presbyterian rule was that no churchman should have authority in State affair's, it had to be practically waived in his case: he was a Cabinet Minister without office.
A moody time though the autumn of 1643 and the winter of 1643-4 must have been for Milton, there was some relaxation for him in society more general than that of his wife-deserted household.

William Nichols in turn was accused at her inquest of leaving her for an affair with a nurse, though he claimed to have proof that their marriage had continued for at least three years after the date alleged for the affair, and that his wife had repeatedly deserted him.
Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols is widely believed to be the first victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer "Jack the Ripper," who killed and mutilated prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of London during the late summer and autumn of 1888.
Nichols' body was discovered at about 3:40 in the early morning of Friday, August 31, 1888, on the ground in front of a gated stable entrance in Buck's Row (since renamed Durward Street), a back street in Whitechapel two hundred yards from the London Hospital.

Fortier was recently married, to her second husband Stephen Quinn, the well-liked publisher of Vogue: their baby son William was born a year later.

Australian audiences who saw it in 1968 and American audiences who saw it in the autumn and spring of 1969 - 1970 were similarly entranced.

Daniel promises a full year of touring and is confident that Fiction will increase the ever-growing Spoon base — even if it's just one fan at a time.

Further, in June that year, there was a plot to blow up Senor Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish statesman under whom so many Anarchists had been prosecuted and imprisoned, but who was now no longer in office, having resigned the post of chief Minister in the previous autumn when Senor Sagasta had replaced him.
This affair and another later in the year led to additional legislation against the Anarchists in Switzerland, severe penalties being enacted in respect to all crimes against public safety and both public and secret incitement to that effect.

The love triangle is resolved by the old man's death and Antek leaves Jagna because "one has to plow in order to sow, one has to sow in order to harvest, and what is disturbing has to be weeded out, like a bad weed."
