Profiles 13 - Black Proteges (Apr 1999) John Henry Irons had worked in the military as a weapons designer until he found his creations going into a black market where terrorists and street gangs used them for rapine and pillage rather than any purpose resembling defense. John Stewart represents a later generation of Black superhero than the archetypical Black Panther, whose logic and history allowed that figure some distance from the social changes in America and particularly America's often-vicious racial politics. John Stewart, while demonstrating the requisite heroism to earn the honor of Green Lantern reservist, nonetheless departed in serious particulars from the heroic model that created his mentor, Hal Jordan. www.fortunecity.com /tatooine/niven/142/profiles/pro13.html   (2158 words)

Never in our wildest dreams did those of us who stood on the terracing at Prenton Park in the early eighties ever dream that such a hero as John Aldridge would ever be playing in front of us. www.merseyworld.com /rearguard/boss.html   (942 words)

Guardian Unlimited Books Authors Proust, Marcel Jeremy Irons starred in an over-moody Swann in Love (1984); Raul Ruiz was more successful with Le Temps retrouvé, starring John Malkovich and Catherine Deneuve, based on the final volume of Remembrance. Often cited and seldom finished, he draws mixed responses: Henry James characterised reading Proust as "inconceivable boredom associated with the most extreme ecstasy which it is possible to imagine"; Joseph Conrad bluntly saw "no emotion" in it, while Virginia Woolf had a momentary fear that Proust had achieved all that was possible in the novel. Proust spent his early writing career savouring salon society and experimenting with autobiography, criticism and imitation (he wrote pastiches of Balzac, Flaubert and others for Le Figaro). books.guardian.co.uk /authors/author/0,5917,-162,00.html   (642 words)
