  Famous Hispanics: Hernán Cortés
The seizure itself appears as an act of singular daring, and Cortés and his men were astonished at the ease with which it was executed, and the lack of opposition on the part of the Indians; but they did not know that their prisoner was of so little importance.
Cortés personally was not ungenerously rewarded, but he speedily complained of insufficient compensation to himself and his comrades.
Cortés held the country and its resources, and controlled a body of officers and men who had, in 1520, expressed to the emperor in writing their admiration for their captain, and dwelt in the strongest terms on the obligations under which his achievements had placed the mother country.

Bud Cort will always be known for appearing as the death-fixated, geriatric-loving Harold in Hal Ashby's cult favorite "Harold and Maude" (1971), in which he co-starred with Ruth Gordon.
Cort was a college dropout performing stand-up and sketch comedy at Greenwich Village clubs when Robert Altman cast him as Private Boone in "M*A*S*H" (1970).
Subsequently, Cort was cast as Alex West, who inherited "The Bates Motel" (NBC, 1987) as well as the internal angst of Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) in a spin-off, of sorts, from Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic "Psycho".

 Bud Cort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His father was a bandleader, pianist, and merchant, his mother a reporter, who later took over the family clothing business when her husband took ill. Bud Cort graduated from the Roman Catholic Iona Preparatory School in New Rochelle in 1966.
Cort feared being typecast after playing Harold; he was offered the role of Billy Bibbit opposite Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but he wanted Nicholson's role instead.
During the 1980s he was a familiar face on TV and appeared in such films as the remake of Invaders From Mars.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hernando Cortes
The seizure itself appears as an act of singular daring, and Cortés and his men were astonished at the ease with which it was executed, and the lack of opposition on the part of the Indians; but they did not know that their prisoner was of so little importance.
In this letter Cortés, besides recalling in a rather abrupt manner that the conquest of Mexico was due to him alone, deliberately acknowledges his disobedience in terms which could not fail to create a most unfavourable impression.
Cortés held the country and its resources, and controlled a body of officers and men who had, in 1520, expressed to the emperor in writing their admiration for their captain, and dwelt in the strongest terms on the obligations under which his achievements had placed the mother country.

Cort?s had heard that the cacique (chief) of the Totonacs, Tlacochcalcatl, who reigned over this area, was an enemy of the Emperor Moctezuma.
Marks, "it occurred to Cort?s and his men to wonder why the great armies from Tenochtitl?n were not pursuing them." The Aztecs had not attacked or laid siege to Tlaxcala, giving the Spaniards and Tlaxcalans precious time to heal and recover from their catastrophic defeat.
Cort?s, who seems never to have wavered in his determination to retake Tenochtitl?n, began to lay plans for the return." In Tlaxcala, Cort?s gained great power over the council and began to form a huge new army to attack Tenochtitl?n once again.

Cornelis Cort (1536-1578), Dutch engraver, was born at Hoorn in Holland, and studied engraving under Hieronymus Cockx of Antwerp.
At Rome he founded the well-known school in which, as Bartsch tells us, the simple line of Marcantonio was modified by a brilliant touch of the burin, afterwards imitated and perfected by Agostino Caracci in Italy and Nicolas de Bruyn in the Netherlands.
Cort is said to have engraved upwards of one hundred and fifty-one plates.

 Juan Donoso Cortés [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Juan Donoso Cortés (1809-1853), parliamentary statesman, diplomat, government minister, royal counselor, theologian, and political theorist, may not be well known among modern political philosophers.
The ultimate battle for Donoso was to be a quasi-Manichæan struggle between Catholicism and socialism, or Catholic civilization and philosophical civilization, two systems of belief in a combat to the death for the control of societies and souls.

 Cort plunges into 'The Life Aquatic'
Cort's role in the movie is small, but it's a tribute to his acting chops that he brings added life to a part that, in the wrong hands, could easily have been overlooked.
As much fun as Cort had in Italy -- bonding with the cast (and going on a bender with Murray, an old friend) -- the actor says the six-month shoot was "very, very, very tough" for everyone, largely because they were at sea in the middle of winter.
And because Cort's character gets kidnapped by the pirates (and is held at the shabby remnants of the improbably named Hotel Citroen), Cort decided he needed to lose 50 pounds to look the part of a kidnapping victim.

Overall, the effects of sustained CORT on DA utilization were a reflection of mostly nonsignificant increases in metabolite concentrations and decreases in DA concentrations.
The inability of CORT to influence acute stress-induced increases in DA utilization is consistent with previous findings indicating that mesolimbic and mesocortical DA metabolite and extracellular DA responses to acute stress are not influenced by the presence of the adrenal gland (Claustre et al.

One of the hallmarks of the stress response is the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, culminating in glucocorticoid release (either cortisol or corticosterone (CORT) - depending upon the species) several minutes after initiation of a stressful stimulus.
Modulation of CORT release has far-reaching implications for both the physiology of the stress response and the short-term survival of the individual animal.
We now have two avian models that mimic seasonal CORT release in the laboratory, and combining experiments on these models with field studies will allow us to further explore both the physiological underpinnings of seasonal CORT release as well as begin to address the adaptive significance.

Cort will expand on those ideas and talk about his book in a lecture, “Movies: America’s Secular Religion,” that is part of the Penn Humanities Forum’s year-long investigation of belief on Tuesday, October 28 (see “What’s On”).
Cort never sugarcoats the mostly egregious behavior of his characters or downplays the Machiavellian politics, but at the same time he adheres to all the old moral imperatives: power always has its price, the bad guys get their just desserts and in the last chapter, the hero finally hits his first hole-in-one.
Cort realized that a fictional device—three generations of the Jastrow family, described as minor Hollywood royalty—would provide the broad canvas he needed to trace changes over half a century.

One thing, at least, should result out of such approximation, and it is that Bernal proves himself indispensable as historian of the Conquest to the same extent that he shows how dispensable the hagiographic version of Solís becomes as soon as the paradigm is exposed in its liabilities in the face of concrete gesture.
It is not otherwise that we might account for the strong impression that Cortés leaves in the reader as a machiavellian figure, no doubt on account of his ability at deploying duplicitous behavior.
Bernal writes that Cortés fell the victim of fever and diarrhoea, due to exhaustion and disgust, and finally died.

In 1820 there were at least 8,200 of Cort's furnaces operating in Great Britain and many of the actual iron iron manufactures considered the Cort's greatest achievement to have been his rolling process.
