  Cabinet Secretary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the British Government, the Cabinet Secretary, or more formally Secretary of the Cabinet, is the senior civil servant in charge of the Cabinet Office, a department that provides administrative support to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, and the government as a whole.
The office of Cabinet Secretary is somewhat anomalous, by New Zealand standards, in that it is partly autonomous from the department to which it belongs.
In the Republic of Ireland, the position of Cabinet Secretary is offically titled Secretary-General to the Government (previously titled Secretary to the Government), and is also Secretary-General of the Department of the Taoiseach, somewhat analagous to the Cabinet Office in the United Kingdom.

 Biography of John Adams   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Adams's four years as chief magistrate (1797-1801) were marked by a succession of intrigues which embittered all his later life; they were marked, also, by events, such as the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts, which brought discredit on the Federalist party.
In 1800, Adams was again the Federalist candidate for the presidency, but the distrust of him in his own party, the popular disapproval of the Alien and Sedition Acts and the popularity of his opponent, Thomas Jefferson, combined to cause his defeat.
