  Karl Popper (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Karl Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century.
He was also a social and political philosopher of considerable stature, a self-professed ‘critical-rationalist’, a dedicated opponent of all forms of scepticism, conventionalism, and relativism in science and in human affairs generally, a committed advocate and staunch defender of the ‘Open Society’, and an implacable critic of totalitarianism in all of its forms.
Karl Raimund Popper was born on 28 July 1902 in Vienna, which at that time could make some claim to be the cultural epicentre of the western world.

 Karl Rove in a Corner
Karl Rove is at his most formidable when running close races, and his skills would be notable even if he used no extreme methods.
From the tumult of the lengthy recount, the absentee-ballot dispute, the charges of voter fraud, and, ultimately, the Supreme Court decision, George W. Bush emerged victorious by a margin of 537 votes in Florida—enough to elevate him to the presidency, and his chief strategist, Karl Rove, to the status of legend.
Also mindful of public relations, the Hornsby campaign brought forward a man who claimed that the absentee ballot of his son, overseas in the military, was in danger of being disallowed.

 Law Clerk on Gilligan's Island:  Chapter 16-- Karl
"This is the 'Karl Family'," she explained, pointing to a cartoon of a veritable inter-species Rainbow Coalition on the back, "and it says they've been happy together for over 30 years." I tried to imagine how Karl's life as a farmer was enhanced by hanging around with bears, turtles, monkeys, and that friend-of-farmers, the rabbit.
Karl the farmer and the weirdly anthropomorphic frog had been replaced by what appeared to be a big bowl of dog food, which I assume was curry.
And on the back, instead of the odd lineup of the Karl Family, all we got were some extreme close-ups of a couple of ears of corn.
