Extractions: document.write(''); Notable Books for Children On Christmas Eve in 1957, Michael Bond, a 32-year-old freelance writer and BBC cameraman, who was also an inveterate last-minute shopper, wandered into a London department store. As he roamed the aisles in search of a gift for his wife, he happened upon a display of toys. "On one of the shelves," he recalled, "I came across a small bear looking, I thought, very sorry for himself as he was the only one who hadnt been sold." Bond promptly had the stuffed toy bundled into a parcel and carried him home. The Bonds christened their ursine acquisition "Paddington," as the couple happened to be living near Paddington Station. "Then," Bond remembered, "one day, when I was sitting in front of my typewriter staring at a blank sheet of paper, I idly tapped out the words 'Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform. In fact, that was how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear.'" Within a few months, Bond had sold the manuscript for

Teresa Stratas Biography Born in Toronto to a struggling Greek immigrant family, Teresa Stratas has beenacclaimed in the International Press as the world s greatest living singing http://www.ailf.org/notable/iaa/ny2000/stratas.htm
Extractions: Born in Toronto to a struggling Greek immigrant family, Teresa Stratas has been acclaimed in the International Press as "the world's greatest living singing actress." With her "glorious voice" and "mesmerizing stage presence" Stratas has for four decades brought unforgettable artistry, in more than 50 diverse roles, to the great opera houses across the globe, such as Covent Garden, Vienna State Opera, Paris Grand Opera, L'Opera De Paris, and the Metropolitan Opera. A Mimi who sings Lulu, a Susanna who sings Salome', a Sister Angelica the nun who sings Jenny the prostitute, Stratas' searing portrayals of "the most fragile of victims and the most frightening of vultures" have set the standard for dramatic interpretation for classically trained singers in the new Millennium. Stratas' La Traviata film and her Salome' film stand as two of the most acclaimed examples of that genre. Kurt Weill's widow, Lotte Lenya, declared that "Stratas sings Weill like he wrote it for her" and entrusted Stratas with a collection of unpublished songs which Stratas recorded. Time Magazine selected the recording Stratas Sings Weill as "Record of the Decade." And

Cirilo Bertrán And 8 Companions, Religious (+1934, +1937) - Biography The Asturias were a mining region with many immigrants leading a very hard lifeand being uprooted from their environment and from their traditions. http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/saints/ns_lit_doc_19991121_bertran-c
Extractions: photo Today the Church recognizes the holiness of nine Brothers of the Christian Schools and of a Passionist Father. Eight of these Brothers formed a community which ran a school in Turon in the centre of a mining valley of the Asturias, in the north-east of Spain; they were martyred in 1934. The ninth Brother was from Catalonia and was martyred in 1937 near Tarragona. The Passionist Father had come to the school in Turon in order to hear the children's confessions. The Church is glorifying the whole ten because they remained faithful to their consecration even as far as giving their life for the faith and their evangelizing mission. The official recognition of their holiness exalts at the same time their mission - one that we know is delicate and difficult - as Christian educators of youth. And the fact that the eight Brothers of Turon will be the canonized members of a community may be a powerful stimulus for our educational communities. They were in the main young religious: four were under twenty-six years, and the eldest was hardly 46. Below are their names and some information on each of them.
Extractions: Biography Iris Chang is one of the nation's leading young historians. Her latest, widely acclaimed book focuses on Chinese immigrants and their descendents in the United States their sacrifices, their achievements and their contributions to the fabric of American culture, an epic journey spanning more than 150 years. But even before the publication of "The Chinese in America: A Narrative History," Chang had established herself as an invaluable source of information about Asia, human rights, and Asian American history. In her international bestseller, "The Rape of Nanking," Chang examines one of the most tragic chapters of World War II: the slaughter, rape and torture of hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians by Japanese soldiers in the former capital of China. Stories about Chang's grandparents' harrowing escape were part of her family legacy and prompted her to embark on this ambitious project, for which she interviewed elderly survivors of the massacre and discovered thousands of rare documents in four different languages. Published by Basic Books on December 1997 (the 60th anniversary of the massacre) and in paperback by Penguin in 1998, "The Rape of Nanking" - the first, full-length English-language narrative of the atrocity to reach a wide audience - remained on the New York Times bestseller list for several months, became a New York Times Notable Book, and was cited by Bookman Review Syndicate as one of the best books of 1997.

The disease that killed him, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, was almost entirely unknown at the time, to the extent, Jonathan Eig writes, that "many doctors in the United States had never heard of ALS." Gehrig, the great first baseman of the New York Yankees indeed, commonly conceded to have been the greatest first baseman in baseball history changed all that. In the years after his death, ALS became near-universally known as Lou Gehrig's disease, as it is to this day; for all the advances medical science has made in the six decades since Gehrig's death, "his" disease still has no known cure. On July 4, 1939, two years before his death, a severely weakened Gehrig returned to Yankee Stadium, not long after he had announced his retirement from baseball. The Yankees were determined to hold a day in his honor. Gehrig, who was shy and reserved, dreaded the occasion, but he rose to it. Wearing the Yankees' uniform, he approached the microphones after various tributes had been paid and gifts presented, and stood there in silence. Finally, he spoke. "For the past two weeks you've been reading about a bad break," he told the packed ballpark. "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." He saluted his teammates, his parents, his wife, and then said: "So I close in saying that I might have had a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for. Thank you."

Extractions: Ann Charters Ginsberg, Allen (3 June 1926-6 Apr. 1997), poet, was born in Newark, New Jersey, the younger son of Louis Ginsberg, a high school English teacher and poet, and Naomi Levy Ginsberg. Ginsberg grew up with his older brother Eugene in a household shadowed by his mother's mental illness; she suffered from recurrent epileptic seizures and paranoia. An active member of the Communist Party-USA, Naomi Ginsberg took her sons to meetings of the radical left dedicated to the cause of international Communism during the Great Depression of the 1930s. In the winter of 1941, when Allen was a junior in high school, his mother insisted that he take her to a therapist at a Lakewood, her death at Pilgrim State Hospital in 1956. Witnessing his mother's mental illness had a traumatic effect on Ginsberg, who wrote poetry about her unstable condition for the rest of his life. Graduating from Newark's East Side High School in 1943, Ginsberg later recalled that his most memorable school day was the afternoon his English teacher Frances Durbin read aloud from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" in a voice "so enthusiastic and joyous . . . so confident and lifted with laughter" that he never forgot the image of "her black-dressed bulk seated squat behind an English class desk, her embroidered collar, her voice powerful and high" (quoted in Schumacher, p. 17). Despite his passionate response to Whitman's poetry, Ginsberg listed government or legal work as his choice of future occupation in the high school yearbook.

American President Biography The American Franchise In New York City, for instance, immigrantsclashed with Protestant workers of English, Scottish, or Dutch origin, http://www.americanpresident.org/history/martinvanburen/biography/AmericanFranch
Extractions: In the history of the evolving American franchise, the 1830s was a period filled with significant change that greatly impacted the nation's political party system and electoral processes. Most notably, the four-fold expansion in the electorate during the 1828 and 1832 presidential campaigns was equaled in the two elections in which Martin Van Buren was the presidential candidate. The election results from 1836 and 1840 showed a continued increase in both the number of voters and in the percentage of the eligible voters who actually voted, even though suffrage was still limited to white males.
