		Roland Michener was the son of former Canadian Senator Edward Michener.
		Michener angered Diefenbaker by allowing the Opposition a great degree of latitude during Question Period, and, at one point on May 25 1959, Diefenbaker was so flustered that he refused to sit down when called to order by Michener.
		Michener was officially appointed Governor General on April 17, 1967 by Elizabeth II, the Queen of Canada and Canada's head of state under the Canadian constitution.

		Michener was born in Lacombe, Alberta in 1900.
		Michener first ran for office as a Conservative in the Ontario provincial election of 1943 but was defeated.
		Michener's defeat in Toronto St. Paul's demonstrated the dilemma of a Speaker who must run as a party man after having remained silent on political issues for several years.

	Chesapeake by James A. Michener (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The history of the Chesepeake is directly intertwined with the history of America, and along the way Michener brilliantly brings to life the struggles in forming this nation.
		Usually, Michener is light on the characterization, but I would say he milked the characters to the bone with this one.
		Michener's books use a common plot formula that starts out by telling a story that in some way reflects and utilizes accurately the actual or known historical developments and time lines and people of a region.

		Michener started out as a Spanish teacher, or so it was reported.
		James Michener's death evokes memories of his three-year stay in Honolulu while writing "Hawaii" which became a bestseller and the first of many blockbusters which followed.
		In 1959, a week after Hawaii became a state, I remember driving with Michener and his wife Mari to a Hawaiian feast, a luau, given by descendants of the Hawaiian royal family to mourn the coming of statehood and the passing of an era.

		I am not sure James Michener is still in style (he was sure hot in the Sixties, but tastes do change.) However, his blockbuster novels all attempt to condense wide expanses of history by telling stories from the viewpoint of fictionalized individuals.
		Michener's theology seems to be that all of religion is made-up fantasy anyway, and the only thing that really matters is a (pagan?) relationship to the land.
		Michener could not have foreseen the revival and renewal movements that would appear during the 1970s and 80s, resulting in the still-growing Hasidic and Orthodox communities of today.

		And the Michener mounts regular shows of paintings, photography and other kinds of art, often with a regional connection.
		Opened in 1988, the Michener is named for bestselling author James Michener, a Doylestown native son, who first envisioned the museum.

		Ive lived there on and off for a long time, and was hoping that Michener would paint a picture that would add to my trip, and my love of the area.
		This book mostly features Michener whining about how Spain does not live up to his mythical image of what it should be.

	Philadelphia Museum of Art
		Edward Hicks (1780-1849), one of the best known American folk painters, was a lifelong resident of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and a devoted Quaker missionary and preacher.
		His images of The Peaceable Kingdom, inspired by the Book of Isaiah's prophetic vision of a peaceful world in which "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid," are among the most beloved in all of American art.
		A Quaker preacher, Edward Hicks believed that it was the "inner light" of his faith that inspired his most extraordinary artwork.

	Swarthmore College Bulletin
		James Michener ’29 first envisioned a regional art museum here in the early 1960s, a dream that was realized in 1988 as the James A. Michener Arts Center.
		Bruce Katsiff, director of the Michener Museum, says: “Michener believed strongly that a good education does matter, that museums and libraries enrich our lives, and that art in public—versus private—collections is consistent with the democratic nature of our society.
		The Michener is a medium-size museum with a narrow collecting interest and a mandate to serve the cultural needs of the growing population of Bucks County.

		Many of the characteristics described by Henry J. in Re Lang Michener may be easily applied to the facts before me and support a finding that Ayangma has conducted vexatious proceedings.

	The Florence Griswold Museum Exhibitions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The exhibition is accompanied by a major publication, Pennsylvania Impressionism, produced by the Michener Art Museum and principally authored by Brian H. Peterson with essays by Sylvia Yount and William Gerdts.
		Practically all of the Pennsylvania Impressionists were enthusiastic about plein air painting, especially Edward Redfield, who passionately believed that the essential vitality of a place could only be captured by an artist whose senses were actively engaged.
		To Redfield, painters had to see, hear, smell, feel, and even taste what they put on their canvases, as well as create an entire painting in one sitting or, as he said, "at one go." To accomplish this, he often endured tremendous physical hardships while making his famous snow scenes.

	Alberta general election, 1917 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The large number of acclaimed candidates, and events overseas, made the 1917 election a low-key event compared to the previous three elections.
		The Liberal Party, under its new leader, Charles Stewart, won a fourth term in office, defeating the Conservative Party of Edward Michener.
		This would be the last time, as of 2005, that the Liberals won an Alberta provincial election.

		Michener has sold some 37 million copies over the years and still has 23 titles in print.
		While the Michener centennial has all the bells and whistles of a modern-day author tour, Auden's celebration will be much more subdued.

		After the events of May 4, 1970, James A. Michener came to Kent, Ohio with the intention of gathering information for a forthcoming book on the events which occurred prior to and on the day of May 4, 1970.
		A questionnaire designed to identify Michener's research methods and verify his use of quotes was sent to approximately two hundred individuals quoted by Michener.
		Although only about half of the individuals to whom the questionnaires were sent responded, their responses indicated that in a number of instances Michener had indeed misquoted and distorted statements given to him during interviews.

		During his lifetime, James Michener gained a reputation for writing Big Novels, epic sagas that spanned hundreds or thousands of years, and almost as many pages.
		Edward Rutherfurd now seems poised to inherit Michener's reputation for quantity, if not entirely for quality.
		In this case, the place is Dublin --- known as Dubh Linn or Dyflin in earlier times --- which grew from an isolated estuary ruled by a lesser king to a powerful port city and center of Irish culture.

		Michener has created some characters that are not meant to be historical.
		Michener has a very fascinating way to put stories together.
		It is teh story of the Indians, fighting for their land, of the trappers, the gold-seekers, cowboys and ranchers who tried to take it from them, but, most of all, it is a panoramic vision of the West from one of the master story-tellers of all time.
