But that list of eminent Shakespearians is actually a little longer than most imagine. For though, he's best known as a TV stalwart, like fellow nominee Jim Broadbent , and as the shamed supervisor-come-stripper in The Full Monty, Tom Wilkinson has spent much of his career treading the boards to huge critical acclaim. Tom Wilkinson was born of the 12th of December, 1948, in Leeds. His father, a farmer, took the family to Canada when the boy was very young, and there they lived till Tom was 11 (hence his evident ease with an American accent). They then returned to Yorkshire, where Tom completed his junior education, before moving on to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he graduated in English and American Literature. The college would, in 2001, make him an Honorary Doctor of Letters. Earlier, Tom had considered a career in physical education, but at university had tried a little acting and the bug bit. The boy won entry to the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and, on leaving, dedicated himself wholly to a life as a wandering player. He took the "wandering" part very seriously, for the first ten years ensuring that all his property could fit in a single suitcase - anything that didn't fit "had to go".

Welcome to evote.com Mr. Wilkinson... Jim Wilkinson: Thank you for having me. I believe this is the first election of the new economy... and the fact that we have online chats like this, I think proves that. EVOTE.COM: Let's start off with some info about the NRCC itself. What does the organization do for the various Republican House candidates? Jim Wilkinson: The NRCC exists to win elections for House incumbents and House challengers... Our job is to elect Republicans to the House it's that simple. EVOTE.COM: Is there a particular message that unites the GOP House candidates in 2000? What themes will they be emphasizing the most this fall? Jim Wilkinson: One issue we've seen that is on the minds of voters is trust in government. We saw this back in the primaries when McCain and Bush gave us so much turnout, and we're seeing that resonate at the congressional level so trust in government is an important issue.... Jim Wilkinson: The main issue out there is education.

ENQUIRER POST WCPO CIN WEEKLY ... Customer Service Currently: Mostly Sunny Weather Traffic HOME NEWS ... Newsroom Directory Tuesday, August 3, 2004 Luken an unpredictable act, as always Mayor tosses another wrench in political machinery For a politician who has tried to avoid confrontation like a house cat avoids bath water, Charlie Luken was able for a quarter of a century to throw local politics, by word or deed, into turmoil. From his first unsuccessful run for Cincinnati City Council 25 years ago, when his candidacy touched off a fight in the local Democratic Party, to his announcement Monday that he won't run for re-election as mayor next year, Luken has regularly tossed wrenches into the machinery of Cincinnati politics. "What Charlie says and does has had a big impact on politics in Cincinnati for a long time,'' Hamilton County Democratic Party co-chairman Tim Burke. "He's been a force to be reckoned with.'' In the absence of a clearly drawn self-portrait, the 53-year-old Democrat's political adversaries over the years have been free to paint their own pictures of the man - liberals often called him a conservative; conservatives suspected him of being a closet liberal. "Charlie's one downside has been that he never forged his own political identity,'' said Republican Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, who was Luken's ally on council in the mid-1980s and his opponent in the 1990 congressional election. "People never knew quite for sure if he was like his father or his uncle or something else altogether.''

Recorded in July 1984, just two years before Wilkinson’s death, this interview preserves some of the spirit, as well as the facts, of mathematical history. Wilkinson discusses his work, including the building of Turing’s Pilot Automatic Computing Engine (ACE), his involvement in the field of computation, and his personal view of early computational developments in numerical analysis. Educated at Cambridge in mathematics, Wilkinson was drawn into computation as a result of work on ballistics calculations during World War II. He joined the Mathematics Division at the National Physical Laboratory in England shortly after the war and stayed there for the rest of his career, although he was a frequent visitor to other institutions, particularly Argonne National Laboratory and Stanford University. Although an extensively edited version of the technical content of the interview appeared in the February 1985 issue of Byte magazine, the written form could not convey the slips and nuances in Wilkinson’s voice as well as some of the anecdotes and intonations that brought spirit to his words. Now, thanks to modern audio technology, the original tapes, which had begun to deteriorate, have been reproduced and preserved in their entirety on compact disk.

Amid all the au courant I was stunned. I had interviewed Foreman once years ago, and we had talked about his triumphs and troubles; the article ended with him asking me to tell readers not to worry about him and that he had "weathered the storm." As I cradled one of the bobbleheads in my hand and reintroduced myself, he told me that he and fellow former Viking Carl Eller have this kiosk and that they do pretty well with it. He talked up the bobbleheads' craftsmanship, but I didn't buy one, partially because neither one of us could look the other in the eye. Advertisement We talked about his son, then said goodbye. I leaned against a wall across from the kiosk and watched him unpack the bobbleheads from their cardboard boxes and set them up on the glass counter. People streamed by. Most ignored him, but some did a double take, stopped and chatted, and walked away with a condescending grin:

MSGenWeb Index Page USGenWeb USGenWeb African-American Griot Project From the WPA Slave Narratives: James Lucas age 104 During the high water in 1882 James moved off of the river and came to Natchez and bought a home on North Commerce St. where he now resides. He was pilot on the Verne Swain boat for a number of years. He says he belongs to the Church of Right: that is, God's Church. He never went to school a day in his life but can scribble his name. The slaves were not allowed to have a book or a piece of paper with print on it. His master bought eight slaves from Baltimore and some from Virginia. Those that came from Baltimore were sent back as they could read and write and were too smart. His master hung the best slave he had for trying to teach the others how to spell. Greeting his visitors with politeness, James Lucas, an ex-slave living in Natchez, gave his age as 104. With a twinkle in his eyes he added: "Miss you kin count hit up fer yourself. I was born October 11, 1833. My young marster give me my age when he heired de property of his uncle, Mr. Withers. He was goin' through de papers an' a-burnin' some when he found de one 'bout me. Den he said: 'Jim, dissen 'bout you, hit gives yore birthday'.
