  Dirk West - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerald Glynn "Dirk" West (??, 1930 - 26 July 1996) was an editorial cartoonist and journalist from Lubbock, Texas most famous for his caricatures of collegiate mascots.
West's most famous works featured caricatures of the sports mascots of various universities, mostly those of the Southwest Conference (and later the Big 12 Conference), but other schools appeared as well, usually because they were playing Texas Tech.
West drew a semi-weekly one-panel comic in the Avalanche-Journal's sports section where he would lampoon college mascots and coaches alike, as well as the stereotypes of various universities.

Dirk, in his stronghold, did not attack the disembarking troops and was soon completely surrounded by the enemy.
Count Dirk, watching these developments from his stronghold, gave the sign to the Frisians, who now mercilessly set upon their disorganised enemies of whom many drowned or were killed before reaching their ships, because of the weight of their armour.
In 1195, while Count Dirk VII was away on an expedition to fight off yet another invason in the south by the army of Philipe of Namur, who had also become the Regent of Flanders and Hainaut, Willem and his Frisians launched an attack on Alkmaar, his brother's northern stronghold.

Dirk rarely stayed at Ostalgia parties as long as Owe, and would often come home early with me. On such nights he would point out old Stalinist architecture from the night bus, a prominent example of which stood next to the MacDonald’s on Karl-Marx Allee.
Dirk’s denial of any problems in Berlin was curious because I had participated in a conference in Erfurt with my study abroad program about the national problem of East and West regretting unity.
Yes, Dirk and Owe were not too fond of going into West Berlin, and I even encountered another American study abroad student who, after living some months with West Berliners in Schöneberg, told me she’d been only once to my neighborhood in “the East” and wouldn’t go back.

 Latino Review
Adapted from the Clive Cussler novel, Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey), an ex-Navy-seal/history buff/oceanographer/romancer, has a lifelong obsession with a missing Civil War boat, an ironclad that might carry the treasure of rare Confederate gold coins.
While researching for something or other in West Africa, Dirk and his frat-boyish drinking buddy, Al (Steve Zahn, who provides some much needed comic relief), cross paths with a beautiful scientist (a bloodless Penélope Cruz), who’s researching a mysterious, deadly virus that could threaten all of Africa.
And the buddy-banter between Dirk and Al (Steve Zahn) is crisp, funny, almost as good as the Schwarzenegger/Tom Arnold back-and-forth from “True Lies.” We buy that they’ve been co-adventurers for years and years, best friends who trust each other with their lives, but never miss an opportunity to insult or undercut one another.

 MovieFreak.com - "Sahara" Movie Review
This myth is Dirk’s baby, his Lost Ark of the Covenant, if you will, and no mountain is too high or peril too harsh when it comes the former Navy SEAL trying to find answers towards this century-old riddle.
In many ways, Al is Dirk’s equal, just as adept at thinking on his feet or firing an automatic machine gun with tactical precision as his best friend and compatriot is.
Point-of-fact, she shares absolutely zero chemistry with McConaughey and how these two ever ended up falling for one another (supposedly) on the set is way beyond me. Sahara dies every single time it focuses on her, making the turgid wretchedness of the final nearly pale when compared next to her performance.

Bogard's eye for detail is sharp, his vignettes of colonial life are convincing, and he has an unhurried approach that places him in the best line of British storytelling.
Unfortunately, despite a large and colorful cast of characters, all superbly rendered by British actor Timothy West, there is not a compelling central figure upon whom to focus the action.
As Bogard is addicted to giving biographical background, often in chatty conversations that have the ring of British soaps, most of the characters seem to serve no story but their own.
