The stern is the rear or after part of a ship or boat, technically defined as the area built up over the sternpost, extending upwards from the counter to the taffrail.
In particular, the stern was the location of the officers' quarters, and during the age of sail became the most opulent part of the ship, with rows of windows, galleries, walkways, and elaborate decorations.
In the early part of the 19th century, the stern of larger ships became gradually more rounded, and with the advent of screw-powered vessels, the stern became the location of the equipment, the officers moving elsewhere.

 Richard Katrovas, Author
The poet Richard Katrovas grew up in cars and motels while his father committed innumerable crimes all over America during the 50’s and 60’s.
When his father was in prison, Katrovas and his mother and four siblings lived on welfare in the federal housing projects of Norfolk, Virginia.
Above all else, The Republic of Burma Shave is an elegy for Katrovas’s mother, a beautiful, "mysteriously passive" yet ironic and literate high-school dropout who, when asked in 1959 by her six year-old son late at night as the (stolen) family car rolled through the desert, "What’s a merica?" answered, "the Republic of Burma Shave."

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
Leader of the great religious revolt of the sixteenth century in Germany; born at Eisleben, 10 November, 1483; died at Eisleben, 18 February, 1546.
In the opinion of many of his biographers, it was an expression of uncontrolled rage, an evident congenital inheritance transmitted to his oldest son, that compelled him to flee from Mohra, the family seat, to escape the penalty or odium of homicide.
Thus the alleged custom by which he was forced to change his baptismal name Martin into the monastic name Augustine, a proceeding he denounces as "wicked" and "sacrilegious", certainly had no existence in the Augustinian Order.

One studio had the rights to Richard martin Stern's "The Tower." The other had the rights to "The Glass Inferno," by Thomas N. Scortia and Frank M. Robinson.
So instead of making competing disaster movies (does "Volcano" and "Dante's Peak" ring a Deja vu bell?), the studios pooled their resources and made one film, "The Towering Inferno." Fox won the right to release the film nationally, while Warner snagged the international rights.
Television stars Susan Blakely, Robert Wagner, Robert Vaughn and Richard Chamberlain signed up, and O.J. Simpson took a "stab" at acting as the chief of security.

Whoever controls the players potentially controls the way content is distributed, in effect becoming the cable company of the Internet, Martin said.

 The Trades - The Towering Inferno (Special Edition)
"The Glass Inferno" by Thomas N. Scortia and Frank M. Robinson, and "The Tower" by Richard Martin Stern), this all-star spectacle brings new meaning to the term "celebrity roast" and contains a most impressive assemblage of Hollywood stardom.
Elements of it are ridiculously dated (such as the monstrosity of a computer O.J. must wrestle with, and the absurdly large "portable music player" wrapped around a kid's head) but the suspense is real, and the special effects utilize real flames for added authenticity.
His pride is quickly snuffed out when he discovers that contractor Roger Simmons (a mighty young Richard Chamberlain) has not followed his specifications, and instead has cut corners to save money and line his own pockets.
