Topic: Louis Saint Laurent


  
  Louis St. Laurent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laurent was the first Prime Minister to live in the present official residence of the Prime Minister of Canada: 24 Sussex Drive, from 1951 to the end of his term in office.
Laurent was encouraged by others to reach out to the CCF and at least 4 of 6 independent/small party MPs to form a coalition majority government, which would have held 134 of the 265 or 50.1% of the seats in Parliament.
Laurent was succeeded as Liberal Party Leader by his former Secretary of State for External Affairs and representative at the United Nations, Lester Pearson, at the party's leadership convention in 1958.

 Louis St. Laurent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Laurent's government was modestly progressive, taking taxation surplusses no longer needed by the wartime military and establishing the Canada Council to support the arts, gradually expanding social welfare programs such as family allowances and old age pensions and bringing in an early form of hospital insurance.
Laurent was initially well-received by the Canadian public, who often referred to him as "Uncle Louis," but by 1957 both the prime minister and his government began to appear tired and old.
Some ministers wanted St. Laurent to stay on and form a minority government or reach out to the CCF to form a coalition majority government, the Prime Minister decided that the nation had passed a verdict against his government and he resigned as Prime Minister rather than be seen as clinging to office.

 glbtq >> arts >> Saint Laurent, Yves
When Christian Dior saw Saint Laurent's designs, he was so impressed that he offered the young man a job as an assistant and was soon referring to Saint Laurent as his "dauphin." When Dior died in 1957, Saint Laurent took over the house.
In 1965, Saint Laurent created the first female tuxedo, which he called "Le Smoking." The design drew upon a history of lesbian cross-dressing for which Paris had been famous in the 1920s and 1930s.
Since his retirement, Saint Laurent has become increasingly reclusive and spends much of his time at his house in Marrakech, Morocco, which was formerly owned by French painter Jacques Majorelle.

 TIME: All About Yves
As odd a combination as it seemed--300 models parading in front of bewildered football fans--the show was just another example of what Saint Laurent has done for 40 years: bringing together the male and female, the high culture and the pop culture, "the shock of the two worlds," as Berge puts it.
If the World Cup show celebrated the scope of Saint Laurent's 40 years in fashion with 300 of his most remarkable pieces, then the fall/winter couture collection presented in Paris last week managed to bottle the pure essence of Saint Laurent into 71 quintessentially elegant outfits.
Another enduring image of Saint Laurent: making his customary walk down the runway at the end of the show, he seemed genuinely moved by the standing ovation from an audience that included actress Catherine Deneuve and designer Jean Paul Gaultier.

 Le blog de Polyscopique: Laurent pour Premier Ministre, Partie 2
The first case Louis-Saint Laurent pleaded in his career as a lawyer was on behalf of his close friend Marius Barbeau, whose grandmother had made him her sole inheritor -- until a priest managed to convince her to change her will just before her death to make this priest her sole inheritor.
Louis Saint-Laurent argued that the priest had exerted undue pressure on the elderly woman and he won his case, which shocked polite Catholic society.
Louis Saint-Laurent a plaidé que le prêtre avait exercé une pression indue sur la femme âgée et il a gagné sa cause, ce qui a choqué la bonne société catholique.

 Saint Laurent la Vernede in Gard Provencal
Laurent la Vernède also offers a quality of life that is highly prized today; it's a good place to live in and to visit.
The fort of St. Laurent la Vernède was built, starting in June 1445, by several prominent families of the village.
In 1446, they signed a contract before a notary that assured them certain spaces in the fort, depending on their contribution to the construction of the walls or "barris." They also demanded the right to build houses inside it, which would be sheltered from the frequent wars of the period.
