	Jack Benny Summary
		Benny realized early on that "if you want the laughs you have to put something in a ridiculous light, even yourself." Benny was not a gifted clown or a sparkling wit, so he and his writers crafted a well-rounded persona with the weaknesses and imperfections of his audience.
		Benny may have been the first standup comedian, as the term is known, as well as one of the first to work with what became the situation comedy.
		Benny had been only a minor vaudeville star, but he became an enormously successful national figure with The Jack Benny Program, a weekly radio show which ran from 1932 to 1948 on NBC and from 1948 to 1955 on CBS, and was consistently among the most highly rated programs during most of that run.

		Benny is particularly taken with a drawing of a space station -- basically a circle with pylons at 120 degree intervals, and "USAF DS/9" stenciled around the edge.
		As Benny leaves the office that night (Incredible Tales is located in the Arthur Trill building), the space station sketch is caught in a breeze and lands under the shoe of Burt Ryan -- a cop with an attitude.
		Sisko's Benny Russell vision continues in "Shadows and Symbols", where Casey Biggs appears as Doctor Wykoff, though that vision is sent by the Pah-wraiths.

	Soulful Detroit: Benny Benjamin - Give the Drummer Some
		William "Benny" Benjamin was in a trio with Roland Hanna and Ray McKinney at Chic's show bar around 1955.
		It wasn't that Benny was actually playing parts that would take three drummers to play, (Motown didn't start doing that until later in the '60's) but that he was good enough as a musician to convincingly play several different styles of drumming.
		Benny Benjamin's time with Motown was just his time to shine.

	Standing in the Shadows of Motown -- The Funk Brothers
		Benny's excuses for often being late to Hitsville's recording sessions are legendary - including one where he claimed to have been sitting on his mother's step with his ex-old lady's boyfriend when someone pulled up in a car and shot him.
		Recruited into Motown in 1962 by his mentor, Benny Benjamin, Pistol quickly learned he had to adapt his jazz drum style to the music being created down in the Snakepit.
		Originally expected to be a Benny Benjamin clone (which he mastered as much as any human possibly could), Uriel quickly showed Motown's producers and arrangers that he had something else to offer: he rocked harder than any of the other drummers in the building.

	The Upcoming Israeli Elections - Who is Benny Begin?
		Begin, son of the late Prime Minister Menachem Begin who was one of the founders of the Israeli state and later founder of the Likud party, has become disillusioned with Netanyahu's direction in handling the peace process with the Palestinians.
		As terrorist bombs helped sway the 1996 elections away from Oslo Accord architect Shimon Peres and guaranteed Benjamin Netanyahu an election win, so too could a new round of violence push votes towards the right wing who are seen as being more capable of protecting Israeli security interests.
		However, that is illusory as recent events have shown that the right wing has no magic bullet to solving the security issue with continued violence in Hebron and along the Lebanese border.
