	Ludwig Courvoisier
		The well known 'Courvoisier's law' is named after him stating that 'if in the presence of jaundice the gallbladder is palpable, then the jaundice is unlikely to be due to a stone.' This was first proposed by him in his book 'The pathology and surgery of the gallbladder' published in Leipzig in 1890.
		Ludwig Courvoisier was born in Basle, Switzerland in 1843.
		Courvoisier was regarded by many as safe rather than brilliant surgeon.

		The converse of Courvoisier's law is not true; the cause of jaundice in a patient with a non-palpable gallbladder is not necessarily gallstones as 50% of dilated gallbladders are impalpable.
		Courvoisier's law states that, in the presence of jaundice, an enlarged gallbladder is unlikely to be due to gallstones; rather carcinoma of the pancreas or the lower biliary tree is more likely.
		This may be explained by the observation that the gallbladder with stones is usually chronically fibrosed and so, incapable of enlargement.

	New Frontiersman (washingtonpost.com)
		At the age of 88 and suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's, R. Sargent Shriver is as well known for being President John F. Kennedy's brother-in-law and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's father-in-law as he is for being the father of the Peace Corps, Job Corps, Head Start and the Special Olympics.
		Four years later, as George McGovern's running mate, Shriver ran a spirited race but was often awkward among working-class voters, famously ordering a Courvoisier in a workingman's bar in Youngstown, Ohio.
		In spite of his accomplishments, Shriver has often been labeled a "lightweight." His good looks, family connections, aura of celebrity and super-salesmanship all were burdens as well as blessings, conveying the impression that he lacked the political instincts and intellectual capacity to win power on his own and wield it with authority.
