  Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert was born in 1920 in Tacoma, Washington.
Frank Herbert started reading science fiction in the forties, and in the fifties decided that this was the type of fiction he wanted to write.
Frank Herbert used his science fiction novels to explore complex ideas involving philosophy, religion, psychology, politics and ecology, which have inspired many of his readers to become interested in these areas.

Not that Beverly gave up writing entirely, she became Frank's editor in chief and sounding board, and though it seems fair to ascribe the books to Frank Herbert, Beverly played a role that ought not to be underestimated in the development of his novels.

McGee was born in Ottawa on March 3, 1926 and studied journalism at Carleton College, as the university was called in those days.
McGee was re-elected in 1958 with a majority of 35,377 votes, then the largest majority in a federal election.
McGee's greatest contribution as a parliamentarian was undoubtedly the private member's bill he tabled in 1960 to abolish the death penalty.

 Frank, Reuven
In a career that parallels the rise and ebb of network television journalism, Reuven Frank helped shape the character of NBC News through his work as a writer and producer, a documentary and newsmagazine pioneer, news division president, and especially through his innovative coverage of national party conventions.
In 1956, Reuven Frank teamed Chet Huntley with David Brinkley to co-anchor the political conventions, a move that catapulted the two correspondents and NBC News to national fame.
Frank was the program's executive producer in 1963 when the report was expanded from fifteen to thirty minutes.

 Thomas D'Arcy McGee
McGee became known as one of the effective speakers on the opposition benches and when, in 1862, the Reformers finally got their turn in office, he was given the cabinet post of president of the council- a resouding title for a job with little real authority; his leader was John Stanfield Macdonald, an Ontario politician.
McGee, however, saw the issue in terms of the founding of a great new nation with unlimited possibilities that would include not only the established colonies but the vast undeveloped territories in the west.
McGee was denounced as a traitor to Ireland.

 Jackson C. Frank
Frank's voice is steady and his words are clear, direct, and carefully chosen.
Frank also met, around this time, another young folksinger who was trying to strike it big in the coffeehouses.
His interest in Frank was aroused when, shopping in a small record store, he found an album by Al Stewart bearing the inscription: "To Jackson, all the best, Al Stewart." Making inquiries, he discovered that Frank would come into the store every so often from NYC and sell used records.

 Kennedy, J.F., Assasination and Funeral
But perhaps the true measure of the television coverage of the events surrounding the death of President Kennedy is that it marked how intimately the medium and the nation are interwoven in times of crisis.
NBC's coverage during that first hour showed correspondents Frank McGee, Chet Huntley, and Bill Ryan fumbling for a simple telephone link to Dallas, where reporter Robert McNeil was on the scene at Parkland Hospital.
NBC's Frank McGee rightly predicts, "that this afternoon, wherever you were and whatever you might have been doing when you received the word of the death of President Kennedy, that is a moment that will be emblazoned in your memory and you will never forget it...as long as you live."

 David Brinkley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1956, NBC News executives were looking for their own breakout newsbiz star.
During his career, he won 10 Emmy Awards, three George Foster Peabody Awards and, in 1992, President George H. Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
Bush called him "the elder statesman of broadcast journalism," but Brinkley was much more humble.

 Frank Patrick's Focused Performance Weblog
Little wonder, when, in last month's issue of PMI's PM Network magazine, a project that conned its staff into working over 12 hours a day for 18 months was lauded for "teamwork" on the part of the poor exploited schlubs and "project leadership" on the part of it's "managers." Something's got to change.
Both Agile Software Methodologies and Critical Chain Project Management recognize this and both address the support of appropriate behaviors in their own way, which is one of the reasons I believe Critical Chain is an appropriate approach to manage projects that use agile approaches for managing tasks.
As it is for me. In addition to this weblog, which is constitutes my shared learning journal, I also document for myself the variety of conflicts ( clouds) and concerns ( NBRs) encountered in day-to-day activity.

 Police brutality in Milwaukee and GOP gay-bashing in Madison   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
McGee, a powerless sort of rage that had grown in the months that followed the beating, as District Attorney E. Michael McCann prepared his case against the officers, when he spoke at the Justice for Frank Jude rally last month.
McGee's mind when he barked the insult into the microphone, just as we cannot know what Mark Belling was up to when he referred to Mexican-Americans as "wetbacks" on his WISN radio show just prior to the elections last fall, the very week of the Jude beating.
The fight for justice for Frank Jude, against police brutality in Milwaukee, and the fight to protect equality for gay citizens of Wisconsin, state Rep. Williams, is the same fight.

It was then, I think, that the idea of joining this exciting new form of journalism began to take hold for me. I was already a news junkie, absorbed by the large and small developments that were defining my formative years.
All the while, I was transfixed by the constant evolution of network news and the dashing journalists it sent afield: John Chancellor, Frank McGee, Sander Vanocur, Nancy Dickerson, Tom Pettit and Roy Neal of NBC.
It was a heady time for this new form of journalism and its place in America was secured by a stunning, life-changing event: the murder of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas.

These three newsmen were Jules Bergman of ABC, Frank McGee of NBC, and of course, Walter Cronkite of CBS, who would serve as anchormen of their respective network's space coverage through the "moon-race" years and on to the end of the Apollo project.
McGee was a native of Oklahoma who found himself covering the Civil Rights movement in the south when he joined NBC News to serve as a correspondent in this region.
Cronkite, by one account, was at the CBS anchor desk for 28 of the 31 hours, with McGee and Bergman each being at their respective anchor desks for about 24 of the 31 hours.
