  Georg Wittig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wittig's contributions also include the preparation of phenyllithium and the discovery of the 1,2-Wittig rearrangement and the 2,3-Wittig rearrangement.

 David Wittig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Wittig purchased and renovated the mansion of former Kansas governor Alf Landon, the 1936 presidential nominee of the Republican Party.

On September 12, Wittig was convicted of 39 counts while Lake was convicted of 30; both were convicted of the 40th charge, forfeiture, later that week.

 glbtq >> literature >> Wittig, Monique
Monique Wittig startled her audience at the Modern Language Association Convention in 1978 when she announced with conviction, "I am a lesbian not a woman." Controversial and brilliant, Wittig produced some of the most challenging fictional and theoretical work of second-wave feminism.
Internationally recognized as a talented experimentalist, Wittig's goal was to "pulverize the old forms and formal conventions." "It is quite possible for a work of literature to operate as a war machine upon its epoch," she said, not by direct political intervention, but rather by linguistically "universalizing" a particular point of view.
Appropriating sources as varied as Greek mythology and the Christian mass, Wittig "lesbianizes" familiar figures: Ulyssea returns from her long voyage to the Amazon islands; the veil of Christa "the much-crucified" illuminates the anguished body; and Sappho, a lesbian legend in her own right, is elevated to the stature of a goddess.

But she was clearly unhappy with evidence presented during a hearing Friday showing Wittig and his wife, Beth, transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars between a series of bank accounts, including one account that jurors in September decided was being used for money laundering.
Wittig was convicted in July 2003 of helping former Capital City Bank president Clinton Odell Weidner II hide a $1.5 million loan made between the two men from bank officials and federal regulators.
Robinson allowed Wittig to remain free on appeal, provided he didn't do anything that could diminish the value of or hide his assets — which he might have to turn over to the government or use to pay fines or restitution.

Wittig added that members of his defense team will be working on other trials and taking vacations, further cutting into their ability to work on his case.

China Bayles, a lawyer who's dropped out of practice but hasn't yet handed in her bar card, is back in business at Thyme and Season, her herb shop in Pecan Springs, Texas.
Which they do, in a whimsical story that's as much about China's strained relationship with Ruby and her new life as a wife and stepmother as it is about who killed the Mistletoe Man. This all-but-bloodless tale is long on charm and local color and short on action.
Susan Wittig Albert's quirky characters and their customs are on display (like the maiden lady who believes she's been abducted by aliens) rather than suspense or plot.
