Commissioned on 12 Jan. 1760, Russell sailed for North America on 26 August, serving as adjutant and paymaster mostly in the West Indies until the reduction of the regiment on 24 Oct. 1763.
Russell had always been interested in the problem: 25 years earlier, on his return from Virginia, he had tried to interest the government in his program of reform for land-granting abuses there.
Russell, however, was administrator, not lieutenant governor, and he had neither the authority nor the security of governorship.

Whether this view of marriage is correct or incorrect is not the point; the point is rather that this positivistic view of any and all social institutions is a historically recent and revolutionary concept that would have been alien to people of the pre-modernist, pre-liberal mindset.

Russell came up with the idea of a song that acknowledged the strength of a woman like Danielle.
Being attached to a package like a movie star, politician, famous athlete, or any public figure brings with it a requirement for patience, confidence and poise that many relationships do not.
Like many of Russell's song ideas, the lyric 'weight of a man' was one of a few dozen thoughts on this topic included on a sheet that he handed me and said, What do you think, mate?

A year later, [in] 2000, Russell Coleman's death penalty -- just the penalty phase -- was reversed, because of judicial instructional error that Judge [Claude] Perasso gave to the jury.
When I tried that case in 1981, [against] Peter Keane, Russell Coleman was sentenced to death.
It was like this: The judge failed to tell the jurors that the governor could commute the punishment of Russell Coleman to life without parole, because the governor really did not have that power because of Russell Coleman's past felony convictions.

 The Ellie Caulkins Opera House - Peter Russell, President and General Director
Which is frequently the case with politicians - artists can bang their heads against the wall trying to get a meeting with a politician who has no clue whatsoever.
We asked Russell if the work would be shared with other opera houses in the future, especially in states with big Hispanic populations like California and Texas.
First of all the name Russell is kind of misleading because people hear it and assume that I'm really a WASP, and the truth of the matter is that my grandparents, all four of them did come over from Europe, but only one of them came from England.

 Peter Brown Soap Opera Star
After Days, Peter played attorney Robert Laurence in The Young and the Restless [1981-82, 1989-1991], university president/politician Roger Forbes in Loving [1983-84], Charles Sanders in One Life to Live [1986-87], and Texas millionaire Blake Hayes on The Bold and the Beautiful[1991-92].
For a group putting together a Peter Brown fan site, we're sorry to say our collective knowledge of the soap genre is dismal.
From what little we know about the soaps, it seems those roles involve playing either the good patriarchs who don't have much to do or the bad patriarchs who keep their evil just this side of major felonies so they can continue their roles.

Writer/director Chuck Russell has been fiddling around with his "Piranha" remake for a few months now, and it seems that he's found a fan in the Weinstein brothers and their Dimension genre label.
Russell wrote the script, using elements of drafts by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger, as well as the original John Sayles script that Joe Dante directed the first time around.
Russell has already earned his stripes in the remake department; his 1988 adaptation of "The Blob" is generally well-received by the hardcore horror fans.

Scott Brison tore into fellow MP Peter MacKay for suggesting to a parliamentary committee that legislating same-sex marriage is not a priority, and that homelessness should be solved first.

On the Sunday before New Year's, in his weekly comments in St. Peter's Square, the Pope said that giving same-sex couples access to civil marriage has "disturbed the nature of the family institution" and he called on "those who believe in the importance of the family based on matrimony" to unite.

The time has come for the world community to recognize that war, rather than an instrument for the elimination of terrorists and aggressors, is a crime against humanity.
