	Guy Burgess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guy Francis De Moncy Burgess (16 April 1911 – 30 August 1963) was a British-born intelligence officer and double agent who worked for the Soviet Union and was part of the Cambridge Five spy ring that betrayed allied secrets to the Soviets before and during the Cold War.
		Like most of the Cambridge five, he came from a privileged background, attending Eton College, and eventually attending Cambridge University, where he was recruited into the Cambridge Apostles, a secret, elite, debating society, whose members at the time included Anthony Blunt and Kim Philby.
		He was most useful to the Soviets in his position as secretary to the British Deputy Foreign Minister, Hector McNeil.

		So he's one of the most unusual political figures, as far as evangelicals are concerned, that they could ever imagine, because he actually respects them.
		Most of the journalists I meet carry their ignorance of evangelicals as bragging rights.
		The most important thing that evangelicals need is a share of federal judges -- not for purposes of abortion, which is the big preoccupation of the media -- but for purposes of freedom of religion and freedom of thought to function, so they aren't harassed by activist judges.

		However, most astronomers were content to continue calculating positions of planets and leave it to philosophers to worry about mathematical models dealing with physical mechanisms.
		Like most people of his time, Kepler accepted the principle of astrology, (that heavenly bodies could influence what happened on Earth) — the clearest examples being the Sun causing the seasons and the Moon the tides — but as a Copernican he did not believe in the physical reality of the constellations.

	Hay Festival 2005 - Biography - The biog boom
		From the 1960s onwards, literary biography became a respected form, with Richard Ellman's works on WB Yeats, Oscar Wilde and James Joyce setting the standard, and the baton being picked up by Michael Holroyd writing on George Bernard Shaw, and Hilary Spurling on Ivy Compton-Burnett.
		Recent trends have seen biographers chronicling lesser-known historical figures, including many women: the wives, daughters and sisters of famous men.
		The most famous example is AJA Symon's 1934 The Quest for Corvo, and this approach continues to be a popular option among writers of unauthorised biographies, who may struggle to get their hands on written records.

	Grotian Moment Blog \| Essay #24: What is the relationship between the Saddam Trial and the level of violence in Iraq? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Professor Scharf cites recently de-classified opinion polls conducted by the U.S. in postwar Germany indicating that over 85 percent of West Germans believed the Nuremberg trials represented "victor's justice" and that the Nazi leaders were not guilty of the crimes for which they were convicted.
		Indeed, to delay or relocate the proceedings is to suggest that trials under the new Iraqi government are merely tools of international political persuasion, applied when and where the climate approves, as opposed to respected legal devices that are appropriate whenever and wherever the law is broken.
		And the most important participants in that process (both Iraqi and Iranian) are extremely eager to get their own hands on the trying-Saddam process.

		Probably the most ambitious attempt to integrate Rand's understanding of "objective" concepts and value with Austrian "subjective" methodology is George Reisman's mammoth treatise on economics, Capitalism, the culmination of a lifetime of effort by a man who studied for many years under both Ayn Rand and Ludwig von Mises.

	Steve Jobs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jobs had been criticized for not including built-in networking features on the original Macintosh (calling it an "umbilical cord to the company"), and he was determined not to repeat the mistake.
		During a time when e-mail for most people was plain text, Jobs loved to demo the NeXT's e-mail system, NeXTMail, as an example of his "interpersonal" philosophy.
		In the unauthorized biography, iCon: Steve Jobs by Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon, the authors suggest that Jobs might have married Baez, but her age at the time (41) meant it was unlikely the couple could have children.

	slacktivist: And whenever you pray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		These guys are following another verse in the Bible, something along the lines of "go forth and spread the word." If this were really about prayer then there would be no issue because you can pray anytime you want to; you don't need some guy with a loudspeaker declaring it official prayer time.
		I guess these guys are reading the NJV*, in which Jesus commands believers to pray for their enemies while kneeling ostentatiously on the football field and call them whiny liberal Jews if they complain.
		A lot of people pray in the most obnoxious, ostentatious, arrogant manner possible, in loud voices and even twisting around their grammar in some ridiculous effort to be "formal." I once heard -- seriously -- a Baptist minister say "And forgive us our falling shorts." I think he meant "shortcomings," but...you never know.

		And this is Fred Barnes from the Weekly Standard, writing on the most recent bombing in Baghdad (where he is currently).
		Most of the polls have the PSOE with 154-158 seats and the PP with 150-154.

		Probably most valuable as a portrait of the collective delusion and malice of the so-called liberal reformers who have plagued these cities all these years.
		She discusses the process whereby even the most autocratic medieval monarchs responded to petitions from various communities and groups, and enacted legislation in response.
		She says good things about Bishop Stubbs, whose Constitutional History of England was rejected in recent decades as too "Whiggish", specifically he seems to have misread how early parliament took on its legislative character, projecting a 19th century-style parliament too far back into the past.

		For that reason, and because the most encouraging poll question for Kerry has been the “wrong direction” numbers, his campaign has been trying to make people feel more comfortable with him, and it appears he made some progress in that direction during the debates.
		Jonah—Re Coolidge, although it is not a biography per se, one should not miss Coolidge and the Historians by my late friend, Tom Silver, former president of the Claremont Institute.
		NROniks also may be interested in my most recent Scripps Howard column, “The Fog of War” which asks who is winning the military campaign on the ground in Iraq and how we might know.

	G.K. Chesterton: Author's Page at Ignatius Insight
		In fact, in spite of the fine biographies that have been written of him, (and his Autobiography) he has never been captured between the covers of one book.
		Perhaps it is proof that education is too important to be left to educators and that publishing is too important to be left to publishers, but there is no excuse why Chesterton is no longer taught in our schools and why his writing is not more widely reprinted and especially included in college anthologies.
		He has been called “one of the most respected Chesterton scholars in the world” and has delighted audiences around the country with his variety of talks on the great English writer.

	Montykins: Recent Reading
		I read a biography of Dorothy Parker that seemed to be based on the theory that everything Parker wrote was the unvarnished truth, so her life story could be adequately told just by quoting her.
		My theory is that people who write fiction may base things on real life but they exaggerate for dramatic or humorous effect.
		I cheerfully accept that he was called that in real life (it was a contraction of "Pelham", his actual first name), but the formality of a biography is kind of damaged when you spend the whole time calling the subject by a chummy nickname.

	Amazon.com: Chronicles, Volume 1: Books: Bob Dylan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Dylan, in his own words, comes across as a regular guy who just wanted to do his job and go home to his family without being hassled by every freak and geek who imagined him to be the new Messiah.
		But most of all we learn a little about how Bob Dylan is as a man. Much to be admired and respected, but then, only a man. Highly recommended.
		Dylan, though, asides near the end of their encounter, "Sun Pie was inspiring...the right guy to run into at the right time, a guy who grooved on his own head." About as inspiring as a dag barking, I thought.

		Every year at least one book relating to some aspect of the Queen's life or reign is published, and the number of books written over the centuries easily runs into hundreds.
		Catholics tended to be too critical of the Queen and her achievements, and Protestants tended to be too praiseworthy.
		Because of the sheer volume of books written, I have here, therefore, only listed the most recent publications, except where I feel that an older book is of especial interest and value.
