	Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
		Butler was evidently extremely fond of Miss Savage, and was devastated when she died unexpectedly, but the relationship has only fuelled speculation on her feelings for him, his for her, and on Butler's sexuality itself.
		Butler's mother died in 1873, but although she is notionally the model for the horrible Christina Pontifex in The Way of All Flesh, very little is written about her influence on Butler throughout his whole life.
		Butler contended that much of inheritance was based on habit making a feature ingrained, to the extent that it could pass between generations and reappear in the next -- or later.

	Marine Corps Legacy Museum - Smedley D. Butler
		Less than a year later, serving under Major L.W.T. Waller, Butler was combating the Chinese I Ho Ch'uan, (Virtuous, Harmonious Fists) commonly known as the "Boxers." This group, attacking Chinese Christians and slaughtering missionaries, was embarked upon a pillaging and rioting spree with the plan of ousting Westerners from the Western enclaves.
		It was during this action that Butler was awarded one of the rarest of American decorations for valor, the Marine Corps Brevet Medal.
		By 1927 Butler was again in China and upon his completion of his tour there he returned to the States in 1929 as a Major General.

		Butler, a former cabinet secretary, is upset about suggestions that his report, to be published on July 14, will be a whitewash on a par with Hutton's conclusions about the circumstances surrounding the death of the government's Iraqi weapons expert, David Kelly.
		Butler believes the lines that should have separated the intelligence agencies and political advisers in Downing Street were unacceptably blurred.
		He was questioned by the Butler committee, as was Elizabeth Wilmshurst, the deputy chief legal adviser to the Foreign Office, who resigned in protest at the invasion of Iraq.

	Metroactive Books \| Octavia E. Butler
		Judging from the type of questions Butler got that night, many of her readers are less science-fiction fans and more feminists, with a strong African American contingent (not surprising, considering the fact many of Butler's heroines are strong, African American women).
		Still, after reading Bloodchild, a fine little collection of Butler's short stories and short essays, one is led to the conclusion that the author is called a science-fiction writer only because the booksellers need a location on the shelf to put her in.
		If Butler comes out of any tradition it might be that of Johnathan Swift in her use of fantasy to highlight the absurdity-slipping-into-horror of human society.

		Butler, formerly the most senior civil servant in the country, knows politicians and their desire to mould the facts to their advantage.

		Loot moved to the Criterion Theatre in November, raising Orton's confidence to new heights, "a weird, thrilling, slightly unnerving state of grace," while he was in the middle of writing What the Butler Saw.
		He sold the film rights for £25,000 although he was certain it would flop - it did and Loot on Broadway repeated the failure of Sloane.
		Orton was still on an absolute high and in the next ten months revised The Ruffian on the Stair and The Erpingham Camp for the stage as a double called Crimes of Passion, wrote Funeral Games, the screenplay Up Against It for the Beatles, and completing What the Butler Saw.

	What the Butler Saw (motion picture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		What the Butler Saw was a very popular Mutoscope reel, and an early example of softcore pornography.
		(Mutoscopes were coin-in-the-slot devices by which an individual could view a short motion picture.) What the butler saw, presumably through a keyhole, was a woman partially disrobing.
		Machines presenting this reel were so ubiquitous that, in England, mutoscopes are known as What-the-butler-saw machines.

	Julie Kistler: What The Butler Saw
		His plays, including "What the Butler Saw," now at the Heartland Theater, combine frantic farce with darker undertones of absurdity and sexual cruelty.
		What the butler actually saw or who the butler is remains unclear, although it apparently has something to do with Winston Churchill and a significant missing portion of a statue.
		The Heartland cast is energetic and tart, with especially good work from Dan Horn as the odious, bombastic government man (a favorite target of Orton's), Dawn-Alena Worth as the blue-eye-shadowed wife, and Shannon Clausen as the naive secretary applicant who spends most of the play in her undies.

		With WMD unlikely ever to be unearthed, Downing Street remains uneasy that Butler, the canny mandarin, has subtly set in motion forces that could, in ways now unforeseen, still prove lethal.

		In this raucous British sex farce, a clinic becomes a bedlam of mistaken identity, undressing and cross dressing, dropped trousers and heightened libidos as the true traditions of classic farce are spiked with Orton's unmistakable subversive glee.
		P.V. Players' Saturday night gala presentation of Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw proved humorous and a trifle risqué; no doubt in line with the author's intention.
		Through moments of slapstick sure to please any fan of physical comedy, and verbal jabs suitable for the more cerebrally titillated, the show is a romp through the ludicrous aspects of sexuality (among other intimate social interactions).

	KDHX Theatre Review - What the Butler Saw (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Before his death at the age of 34, the British playwright Joe Orton left behind a body of work comprising some seven or eight pieces for stage, television, and radio, including three full-length stage plays, all written over the course of less than five years.
		The last of his stage plays, What The Butler Saw, currently being presented by Hothouse Theatre Company, shows an artist at the height of his creative powers, and one can only imagine what other plays we might have today had he lived.
		This rebelliously nontraditional and iconoclastic farce, drawing as it does on influences ranging from Euripides to Oscar Wilde to P. Wodehouse, is a daunting challenge, and the Hothouse Theatre Company production rises to the occasion and provides an evening of merriment far greater than any ordinary farce could produce.

		It may not pack the punch it once did, but What the Butler Saw still has relevant things to say about conformity,sexuality and quick-to-judge authority.
		In What the Butler Saw, Orton combines elements of traditional farce, comedy of manners, revenge drama and Greek tragedy and wraps them up in a fireworks display of language aimed at alternately delighting and surprising his audience.
