 Abraham Lincoln - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Finally, after coming across the second volume of Sir William Blackstone's four-volume Commentaries on the Laws of England, he taught himself the law, and was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 1837.
Lincoln's law partner William Herndon warned Lincoln again and again that the damage was mounting and irreparable; Lincoln himself was despondent and he decided not to run for reelection.
The case is famous for Lincoln's use of judicial notice, a rare tactic at that time, to show an eyewitness had lied on the stand, claiming he witnessed the crime in the moonlight.

 William Makepeace Thackeray - LoveToKnow 1911
WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY (1811-1863), English novelist, only son of Richmond and Anne Thackeray (whose maiden name was Becher), was born at Calcutta on the 18th of July 1811.
Special mention may be made of one other contribution of his to the paper, " Punch's Prize Novelists," containing some brilliant parodies of Edward Lytton Bulwer, Lever, Benjamin Disraeli (in " Codlingsby," perhaps the most perfect of the series), and others.
Among minor but admirable works of the same period are found A Legend of the Rhine (a burlesque of the great Dumas's Othon l'Archer), brought out in George Cruikshank's Table Book, edited by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, Cox's Diary (on which has been founded a well-known Dutch comedy, Janus Tulp), and The Fatal Boots.

 Beach - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
A beach or strand is a geological formation consisting of loose rock particles such as sand, shingle, cobble, or even shell along the shoreline of a body of water.
Some geologists consider a beach to be just this shoreline feature of deposited material, but William Bascom (1980) has argued that a beach is the entire system of sand set in motion by waves to a depth of ten meters (30+ feet) or more off ocean coasts.
There are several beaches which are claimed to be the "World's longest", including Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh (120kms), Fraiser Island beach, 90 Mile Beach in Australia and 90 Mile Beach in New Zealand and Long Beach, Washington (which is about 30km).

 Texas Ranger Division - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
During these years, famous Rangers such as Hays, Walker, Benjamin McCulloch and William "Bigfoot" Wallace first established their reputation as frontier fighters.
With the annexation of Texas within the United States and the Mexican–American War in 1846, several companies of Rangers were mustered into federal service, and proved themselves at the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma.
It is somewhat apocryphal in that there was never actually a riot; rather, the phrase was coined by Ranger Captain William "Bill" McDonald, who was sent to Dallas in 1896 to prevent the illegal heavyweight prize fight between Pete Maher and Bob Fitzsimmons that had been organized by the eccentric "Hanging Judge" Roy Bean.

 Talk:Pat Cox (European politician) - Politics.ie Wiki
However, in cases where one person is obviously more prominent than another, I think it is more appropriate to have a main article on that person with links to articles on people who share the name.
In the specific case of Pat Cox, it seems to me obvious that the former MEP is more prominent than the SF Councillor by any objective criterion.
Besides, Cox is no longer a member of the PDs, so that isn't relevant.

 Franklin Delano Roosevelt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Roosevelt also was a candidate for Vice President of the United States, serving as running mate to Ohio Governor James M. Cox on the Democratic ticket in 1920.
Some have suggested an alternate theory, that Roosevelt was pursuing a systematic policy in the pacific rim that would make Japan feel as though it had to attack the United States first, or else face a pre-emptive attack.
On Monday, May 18, 1942, Roosevelt wrote a private letter to William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, in which he requested that the USA and Canada make an unofficial pact to pursue the dispersal of French-Canadians to expedite their assimilation.

Contextual disambiguation is therefore impaired in tasks that assess executive functions and in tasks that assess non-executive functions.
Though we have focussed on coordinating interactions within the cortex, we assume that dynamic organization and contextual disambiguation are also relevant to the function of other brain regions such as the basal ganglia, the limbic system, thalamus and cerebellum.

His grave is lit with an "Eternal Flame." Kennedy and William Howard Taft are the only two U.S. Presidents buried at Arlington.
Many of Kennedy's speeches (and especially his inaugural address) are considered iconic, and despite his relatively short term in office and lack of major legislative changes during his term, Americans regularly vote him as one of the best Presidents, in the same league as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

He served from December 6, 1834, was reelected in 1837 and 1843, and resigned on March 5, 1845, to accept a Cabinet portfolio.
Rumors and speculation circulated that the two had a homosexual relationship, with references to Buchanan's "wife" and "better half," and former President Andrew Jackson referred to King as "Miss Nancy." The term "Nancy" was used to describe homosexual men in the 19th century.

 WATERGATE SCANDAL : Encyclopedia Entry
On the same day, Nixon named a new Attorney General, Elliot Richardson, and gave him authority to designate for the growing Watergate inquiry a special counsel who would be independent of the regular Justice Department hierarchy, to preserve his independence.
The tapes were soon subpoenaed by both first special prosecutor Archibald Cox and the Senate, as they might prove whether Nixon or Dean was telling the truth about key meetings.
Cox's refusal to drop his subpoena led to the "Saturday night massacre" on October 20, 1973, when Nixon compelled the resignations of Richardson and then his deputy William Ruckelshaus in a search for someone in the Justice Department willing to fire Cox.

 Designing Documents to Enhance the Performance of Digital Libraries: Time, Space, People and a Digital Library on London
But even without disambiguation or hand-editing, we have been surprised at how useful the subsequent electronic environment has proven.
We consider this to be an important finding in itself because the performance of a system without clever disambiguation schemes or expensive hand editing provides the baseline against which subsequent improvements can be measured.
Our experiences suggest that both clever disambiguation and hand editing will add substantial value to documents in a digital library, but, even failing those two functions, the automatically-generated tags can be employed by useful visualization and knowledge discovery tools.

Creek leaders such as William Weatherford (Red Eagle), Peter McQueen, and Menawa, who had been allies of the British during the War of 1812, violently clashed with other chiefs of the Creek Nation over white encroachment on Creek lands and the "civilizing" programs administered by U.S. Indian Agent Benjamin Hawkins.
