	Georges Haussmann
		It was under Napoleon that Georges Haussmann was born on March 27, 1809, in a small house entre cour et jardin in the rue Faubourg le Roule, a house that he had demolished when he was Prefect of the Seine to make room for the boulevard that bears his name.
		Both father and grandfather were men of no uncertain character or political conviction Georges Haussmann grew up in close contact with both of them, and the fact that he consciously inherited their experience throws some light on his ways of thinking and acting in later life.
		Two more things remained to be done: to join the new suburbs with the city itself, and to provide a circular route running round the north and south of the city.

	The Two Georges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Two Georges is an alternate history novel co-written by science fiction author Harry Turtledove and Oscar -winning actor Richard Dreyfuss.
		For more than two centuries, the present-day United States and Canada has been the North American Union, an integral part of the British Empire as a result of an agreement between George Washington and King George III.
		While being displayed in New Liverpool (this world's Los Angeles), the painting is stolen while a crowd is distracted by the murder of "Honest" Dick (a.k.a "Tricky" Dick), the Steamer King, a nationally-known used Steamer (car) salesman - who, based on his nickname and description is clearly intended to be our world's Richard Nixon.

	THE TWO GEORGES by Richard Dreyfuss and Harry Turtledove
		Of the two, the latter is perhaps more germane to the book--Dreyfuss won as an actor, not a writer.
		The book is alternate history but the plot is strictly mystery: the famous Gainsborough painting "The Two Georges" has been stolen while touring the North American colonies and just before King-Emperor Charles III was due to speak in front of it.
		The radical separatist group, the Sons of Liberty, has stolen it and is demanding a ransom for its return, and Colonel Thomas Bushnell and Samuel Stanley of the RAMP are assigned to recover the painting, which is a major cultural icon (sort of like the original Declaration of Independence).

	JS Online: At sentencing hearing, witnesses paint a picture of two Gary Georges
		George pleaded guilty in January to one count of conspiracy in a corruption investigation.
		Now, George, who served 23 years in the Senate, contends he was guilty only of using his legislative office staff for non-state-related business without adequate compensation.
		Sostarich has admitted kicking back to George 80% of his monthly retainer and 50% of additional legal fees from the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Greater Milwaukee Inc. Sostarich pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge in January and likely will receive a 10- to 16-month prison term when he is sentenced Sept. 9.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Scotland
		Two church councils were held in David's reign, both presided over by cardinal legates from Rome; and in 1150 took place, at St. Andrews, the first diocesan synod recorded to have been held in Scotland.
		Two years later we hear of the arrest and trial of a number of Lollards in the new archdiocese; but they seem to have escaped with an admonition.
		To the suffering of the Catholics under the first two Georges from their enemies without, was added the misfortune of dissensions within the fold.

		As we stand here on the grounds of a monument that is dedicated to the Father of our Country, George Washington, we are reminded that he was well known for the apocryphal stories of never being able to tell a lie.
		Well, I wish our George the Third were here today to see us out here in force protesting against his war and against his murderous policies.
		George is not here, though, because he is out gallivanting around the country somewhere pretending that he cares about the people who are in the path of hurricane Rita.

	Georges' Beach Music \| GeorgiaTrend.com
		This time, George Jackson would be in charge, just as Spriggs had taken the lead for the North Beach Grill.
		Like a lot of new, incredibly good restaurants in tiny, picturesque Southern hamlets, Georges' is the wish fulfillment of another kind of new resident: moneyed big-city retirees who've purchased their sunset homes and want a slice of foie gras with their rusticity.
		Still, Georges' isn't stodgy - the menu is that kind of eclectic American thing that can so often fall on its face, but here succeeds as bracing, energetic and as unafraid of risks.

		THE TWO GEORGES is an interesting story, fascinating alternate history worldbuilding, filled with quips of humor and references to movies (especially Casa Blanca) and political history.
		The Two Georges is a fine story in the genre of the alternate history, set in the North American Union which, as a British domain, comprises almost the entire continent.
		In this story the famous painting of George Washington and King George III in the act of reconciliation is stolen, placing in jeapordy the Union which Washington helped to create.

	Gateway: Review of "The Two Georges" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In a nutshell, The Two Georges is a very weighty example of alternate history lite.
		The painting, "The Two Georges" is a very important old painting depicting the close relationship between George Washinton and King George III, and has been stolen by the Sons of Liberty, a combination racist and pro-independance group of terrorists.
		Altogether, The Two Georges is too long due to large amounts of detail in the setting - more in specific places and people than large scale politics, which are not mentioned much - and the alternate history aspect is very implausible and simplistic.

		Two Georges is a detective story that follows Thomas Bushnell of his Majesty’s Royal American Mounted police (RAMs) over the summer of 1996 in an alternate history America, one that is part of an immense British Empire.
		In this world, George Washington made peace with George III, a historic picture is painted of the event and the United States is still-borne, replaced by the North American Union.
		It’s a decent story, though it seems at times that the authors are more concerned with showing off the locales in their world than with advancing the plot, which unfolds very slowly, before rushing to the climax — an abrupt and awkward transition.

		Most importantly, I was in London and saw Boy George perform at the very glamorous Home House for a very worthy cause - Action Aid charity.
		It was a very good emotional show and I was very proud that I was given a chance to contribute to the charity, pay the money and see this amazing show.
		It was the hottest day in June in the last 30 years but about 100 lucky people in the audience braved the weather and enjoyed themselves at a rare Boy George performance!

	Danton
		Danton was said to be a notorious womanizer, despite his savage and ugly appearance, but there is little proof that he was anything but a devoted family man. The legend of his philandering may be yet another facet in the depiction of Danton as the "masculine" as opposed to the "feminine" asexuality of Robespierre.
		Georges was fairly successful as a lawyer, especially one from the middle-class, and seemed on his way to a stable and uneventful future.
		He is clement and merciful from the start..opposing the "Dread Committee of Public Safety" and rescuing the hero and heroine from their fate by first making a speech before the Tribunal and then riding to the rescue (Danton deus ex machina) Furthermore, the Danton looks very little like the historical character.

		The Two Georges version is dressed with a garlicky Italian-style dressing, and it is very good.
		Two Georges has clearly copied much of King's Inn cuisine, but in the process they stole some of King's Inn fire.
		The fried entrees at Two Georges are lighter, less greasy and cooked more skillfully than the fare in Riviera.

	The Two Georges: Excerpt
		The garage attendant glanced at the da te stamped on the ticket he presented, said, "That'll be two pounds even, sir," and accepted the blue banknote he proffered with a word of thanks and the brush of a forefinger against the brim of his flat cloth cap.
		The tunic had two rows of seven gilt buttons down the breast, and a high stand collar that was damnably uncomfort able.
		Here was George III, perhaps not the most able of men but earnest, serious, plainly anxious to be doing the best thi ng for England and her American colonies, his small head leaning slightly forward from its perch atop his pear-shaped body.
