Anyway, yeah keep up the good work Dutch. Look forward to further revelations about the extent of the infiltration.

Well, unconsented sex is an altogether different ball of wax of course, with pedophilia being the most abhorrent and violent form indeed only rivaled perhaps by brute torture practices.

Pedophilia, pederasty to be precise, was already instituted in ancient Sparta where it formed part of male-bonding between pupil and master warrior. Often these kind of relations proved to be so strong that, in order to save Sparta from sure extinction, female Spartans routinely dressed like little young boys in order to have a better chance at seducing their potential husbands who above anything else were same-sex champions.

[align=center]Television Today and Tomorrow
It Won't Be What You Think
Gene F. Jankowski and David C. Fuchs[/align]

Description
Today the media is awash in exuberant tales of the arrival of the information superhighway, when television will explode with exciting possibilities, offering some five hundred channels as well as a marriage of television and computer that will provide, on command, access to unlimited bits of information. In Television Today and Tomorrow , Gene Jankowski-- former President and Chairman of the CBS Broadcast Group--and David Fuchs--also a former top executive at CBS--predict a bumpy road ahead for the information superhighway, and the major TV networks, they say, are abundantly healthy and will remain so well into the next century.

The information superhighway, the authors admit, will dramatically increase the distribution channels, but it will have little impact on the amount of programming created--and this may spell disaster. Jankowski and Fuchs point out that the media blitz has hardly focused on programming, or funding, or on what needs these five hundred channels will fill. The major networks will remain the only means of reaching the whole country, and the only channels that offer a full schedule of current, live, and original programs, free of charge.

This is a brass tacks look at television with an eye on the bottom line by two men who boast over sixty years of experience in the medium. If you want to understand television in America, where it came from and where it is going, you will need to read this book.

Sir Miles Dewey Davis III - Jazz Icon

Quote:

Miles Davis was one of the greatest visionaries and most important figures in jazz history. He was born in a well-to-do family in East St. Louis. He became a local phenom and toured locally with Billy Eckstine's band while he was in high school. He moved to New York under the guise of attending the Julliard School of Music. However, his real intentions were to hook up with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. He quickly climbed up the ranks while learning from Bird and Diz and became the trumpet player for Charlie Parker's group for nearly 3 years. His first attempt at leading a group came in 1949 and was the first of many occurrences in which he would take jazz in a new direction. Along with arranger Gil Evans, he created a nonet (9 members) that used non-traditional instruments in a jazz setting, such as French horn and Tuba. He invented a more subtle, yet still challenging style that became known as "cool jazz." This style influenced a large group of musicians who played primarily on the west coast and further explored this style. The recordings of the nonet were packaged by Capitol records and released under the name The Birth of the Cool. The group featured Lee Konitz, Gerry Mulligan, and Max Roach, among others. This was one of the first instances in which Miles demonstrated a recurring move that angered some: he brought in musicians regardless of race. He once said he'd give a guy with green skin and "polka-dotted breath" a job, as long as they could play sax as well as Lee Konitz. After spending 4 years fighting a heroin addiction, he conquered it, inspired by the discipline of the boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.

Quote:

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, known popularly as Malcolm X (his Nation of Islam-issued name), and Sir Miles Dewey Davis III (whose honorific derives from his induction in 1988 into The Knights of Malta[1]) share intriguingly similar biographical details. Born in the mid-western United States, in 1925 and 1926 respectively, these iconic incarnations of African-American masculinity came to maturity during the era of Euro-American-authored apartheid in the United States, yet attained cross-over and international prominence in their proper fields of theological-cum-political theorizing and jazz trumpet virtuosity and music theory innovation. They also authored celebrated, as-told-to autobiographies. In collaboration with Alex Haley, X narrated The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965). Davis drafted, with the assistance of Quincy Troupe, Miles: The Autobiography (1989). Though X was assassinated in 1965 and Davis died of a pneumonia-triggered stroke in 1991, they persist as phantasmal cultural presences through their books (including Davis's The Art of Miles Davis,[2] a portfolio of his paintings) and their recordings (X's speeches and Davis's music). The Ballantine Books paperback edition of X's Autobiography achieved, in November 1992, its 33rd printing since 1973, while Davis's post-mortem popularity as a jazz artist seems poised to eclipse that of John Coltrane (1926-1967), the race pride emblem par excellence of the 1960s. [3] X and Davis dominate the popular cultures of their separate demesnes. Transfigured into demi-deities, they are omnipresent in mass media, in film (Spike Lee's X [1992]), opera (Anthony and Thulani Davis's X, The Life and Times of Malcolm X [1986]), documentaries, books, recordings, and clothing and associated tchotchkes. Even as X and Davis are reified into protean, Warhol-like pop idols, their representations also dramatize and reproduce a patriarchal black masculinity, an anarchic machismo. Worse, this rugged phallocentrism, which bell hooks blames for "much black-on-black violence," among other ills (Black 111), is furthered, perhaps, by the seductiveness of these figures for urban, African-American, male youth, from whose ranks they came and to whose concerns and styles they paid scrupulous fealty. [4] In fact, the steady appeal of these figures likely owes something to their efforts, during their careers, to address this alienated constituency. [5] Positioning themselves as archetypal black men, they became exemplary champions of the black male-delineated worlds of black religion and black music, spheres in which the masterful and the triumphant exude confidence, poise, purpose, style--in short, 'cool.' Their investments in codes of honour, in 'coolness,' offer a context for their cultural success, but also, arguably, useable notions for the construction of a re-energized and progressive African-American socio-political movement. [6] Paradoxically, too, their styles of honour yield means for subverting their sexism, while yet permitting their inscription into avant-garde politics and aesthetics. [7]
[1]The full title of the order is The Knights of the Grand Cross in and for the Sovereign Military Hospitaler Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta. See Miles Davis with Quincy Troupe, Miles: The Autobiography (38

Terence J. Gallagher - Vice-President for Corporate Governance at Pfizer Inc.
<No Pictures>

Quote:

A VICE-PRESIDENT FOR WHAT?
Terence Gallagher helped Pfizer build a reputation as a governance stalwart

Terence J. Gallagher often gets stares when he tells people his title at Pfizer Inc. ''People are almost always surprised,'' he says. ''They've never heard anything like it.''

Gallagher may be the world's only vice-president for corporate governance. Most companies hand over such duties to their general counsels, who serve as the liaison between the board and senior management. But when William C. Steere Jr. became chairman five years ago, he wanted Pfizer to help shape the then-emerging debate over governance.

Enter Gallagher, a 32-year Pfizer veteran who had been assistant vice-president for administration. Since 1992, the soft-spoken lawyer has helped the company build a reputation as a governance stalwart. Ironically, he has done so even as the company toes a moderate line on board issues. ''At Pfizer, governance has not been a revolution. It has been an evolution,'' says Robert W. Lear, a consultant and executive-in-residence at Columbia University's business school.

Pfizer's carefully cultivated reputation enabled Gallagher to pull off the near-impossible earlier this year: He persuaded the country's most activist investors--from the New York City Teachers' Retirement Fund to TIAA-CREF--to swallow its renewal of a poison pill. To most stockholders, such devices are anathema, since they protect management. Poison pills usually bring a call for a shareholder vote.

Pfizer, however, avoided a fuss over its poison pill, largely through goodwill Gallagher created. He talked investors into accepting the pill by ensuring it would be reviewed every three years by the independent directors. ''Maybe I sell out too easily, but I judge their outreach effort to be serious,'' says Jon Lukomnik, deputy controller for New York City pensions. ''We haven't always agreed on things, but they have been out front in examining governance.''

So what does a corporate-governance VP do? Gallagher started by helping revamp executive compensation, linking pay to performance. Next, he assisted the board in creating a governance committee and designing a charter that empowered the panel--instead of the CEO--to recommend new board members. He also helped to draft a set of governance principles and regularly meets with shareholders.

In his first year, Gallagher visited with 20 top Pfizer institutional investors. ''I learned that some of them weren't much interested in corporate governance,'' he says. ''They didn't care about it unless we failed to make the bottom line next quarter.''

COURTED. More important, however, many investors--who had scant contact with the management of the companies in their portfolios--were suddenly being courted by Gallagher. ''This is a company that has been very attentive to shareholders,'' says B. Kenneth West, the head of governance at TIAA-CREF.

As boards go, Pfizer's is good. CEO Steere and two other insiders do not sit on the audit, compensation, or governance committees. And once a year, the outsiders meet without Steele to discuss his performance and other matters. Pfizer also ditched director pensions in 1995.

But if those moves put it ahead of many, Pfizer is hardly pushing the envelope. Among other things, Pfizer doesn't let shareholders vote each year for all directors. It does not do performance evaluations of either the board or individual directors, and it has no mandatory share ownership rules. Moreover, among his four directorships, Steere serves on the board of Minerals Technologies Inc., whose CEO also sits on Pfizer's board.

Such relationships would be prohibited at governance leaders like Campbell Soup, Compaq, and Chrysler. Gallagher's answer to this charge: ''You can have a good corporate-governance program without going as far as Campbell or Compaq.'' Gallagher's unique title notwithstanding, Pfizer remains firmly in the middle of the pack.

Quote:

It is a truth that has comforted Terence J. Gallagher, vice president for corporate governance at Pfizer, Inc., a giant pharmaceutical firm with 40,000 employees, operations in 40 countries, and $10 billion in annual revenues. Gallagher's prime responsibilities include maintaining the company's code of conduct and dealing with large institutional stockholders on social-responsibility issues.

In the course of a candid conversation on human rights, corporate responsibility and personal faith, Gallagher mentions several examples where the economic was as vital a need as any other.

"We have operations in South Africa, and have for a long time. When apartheid was in place, religious groups wanted us to withdraw. I pointed out we were operating in accordance with our code of conduct, which requires equal opportunity in hiring and promotions.

"We had been in South Africa since the 1950s, so we had employees who had been with us for 30 years. We did not want to abandon these employees, and, as a pharmaceutical company, we felt that we were providing a vital service to people, black or white, by providing basic pharmaceuticals."

After apartheid, Pfizer was asked by a delegation of investors from the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility to adopt the "Code of Conduct for Businesses Operating in South Africa," written by Catholic bishops and other church leaders from the South African Council of Churches. Gallagher told the group, which included Maryknoll Father Joseph La Mar and Ursuline Sister Barbara Glendon, that Pfizer's code was similar and "generally consistent."

After much back and forth, the company issued a statement to that effect, one that Gallagher shepherded through all necessary channels.

"We were not only pleased with the compromise that resulted from open and frank dialogue," he says, "but gratified when six other companies, following our lead, accepted the South African [Council of Churches] code's standards for their businesses in that country."

In another instance, Gallagher recalls the scene in Haiti, where he traveled to donate Pfizer goods. "I was discouraged by what I saw both in terms of human rights and from a business perspective. In that brief visit, it looked like a country that was virtually bankrupt. You've got to provide some sort of livelihood for the people to get human rights to mean anything."

Though doing good helps Pfizer do well, Gallagher's faith also directs his work.

"As a Catholic, I am involved in humanity generally and have a responsibility for my fellow man. Whatever I can do to assist my fellow man, I should do."

He was raised in New York City in a family "that was always reaching out to other people." This included housing orphaned cousins and others in need. He attended Manhattan College and Harvard Law School. Today, Gallagher is active in his parish—St. Joseph's in Bronxville, New York—and as a Knight of Malta.

Nigeria sues drug giant

The government of Nigeria is suing Pfizer, charging that the world's largest pharmaceutical company conducted improper trials of the anti-meningitis drug Trovan in children.

The Nigerian government wants $7 billion in damages for the families of children who allegedly died or suffered serious side effects after being given the experimental antibiotic, BBC News reported. A few years ago, the Nigerian state of Kano filed a separate lawsuit against Pfizer seeking $2.7 billion in damages. That suit is still working its way through the legal system.

Pfizer tested Trovan in children during a meningitis outbreak in Kano in 1996. About 200 children died and others suffered mental and physical problems. In its lawsuit, the Nigerian government says Trovan caused the deaths and injuries and that the children were injected with the drug without approval from the country's regulatory agencies, BBC News reported.

Pfizer has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing and says the trials were conducted with the full knowledge of the Nigerian government, according to Nigerian and international law.

In the United States, Trovan is approved to treat adults, but not children. – (HealthDayNews)

Along with C. Templeton Crocker he was in part responsible for reviving the moribund California Historical Society in 1922 and was made a Knight of Malta by the pope in 1929 for his church philanthropy. Today the etchings in the Drum collection form an invaluable historical record of Californias cities in the transitory phase from village to metropolis.

The Society of California Pioneers, founded in 1850 by pre-Gold Rush pioneers, is the state's oldest historical organization.

Lanfranco Amato - Manager of Olivetti Canada

Quote:

Lanfranco Amato has passed away
He was very well known in Toronto, especially for his work at the helm of Olivetti Canada

Lanfranco Amato of Campolevrini, born in 1922, passed away serenely at his home in Toronto on February 14th. He completed his autobiography just over a year ago as a legacy for his son and grandchildren.
The book, published in November 2003, bears the title Experiences, Memories and Reflections on My Life. Amato was very well known in Toronto, especially for his work at the helm of Olivetti Canada.
Amato's wife, Liliana, wrote to us. Her words profoundly echo the extent of the family's sense of loss: "Lanfranco leaves his wife Liliana, who shared over 50 years of his life; his beloved son Sergio, who weeps for his father along with his wife Lucy (Lake Forest, Illinois) and their three children - Lilly, James and Finley - who adored him and cannot resign themselves to the idea that they won't get any more hugs, kisses and caresses from their wonderful grandfather, who was so affectionate and so proud of them.
"Lanfranco also leaves his sisters, Laura and Maria Teresa, along with their respective families; his sister-in-law Maria Cristina, brother-in-law Renato and sister-in-law Donatella and their families.
"Lanfranco was generous, optimistic, noble and sensitive. He deeply loved his family and was moved by the numerous friends who appreciated and admired him and showed him affection and esteem at every opportunity. As a father he taught Sergio everything that was important in life. He was a constant example of righteousness-a quality very hard, if not outright impossible-to find today, let alone emulate. Lanfranco leaves a gap in our hearts that will never be filled, and his memory will be with us forever."
"The last farewell to Lanfranco Amato took place on February 17th at 9:30 a.m. at Holy Rosary Church, 354 St. Clair Ave. West, Toronto. Amato was entombed in Lake Forest, Illinois.
"The family would appreciate donations to the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care, 600 University Ave., Toronto, Ontario M5G 1X5."
In his autobiography, Amato wrote, "Because of my work as an industrial manager, my involvement in a national and international social life, as well as my participation in artistic, cultural and community activities, I was invested with several chivalric ranks, decorations, diplomas and declarations of merit. I am, of course ,immensely grateful to the different promoters and organizers for all of this, not so much for the 'cuteness' of the titles, but for the high honour that they bestowed upon me.
In chronological order, I count: Sovereign Military Hospitaller, Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta-the most ancient among knightly orders. The order was established in the 11th century on the occasion of the first crusade to the Holy Land. Admitted as a Knight of Magistral Grace, within a decade I progressed very rapidly through the ranks due to my active work in several projects of the Canadian Association, first of all, at the Good Shepherd Manor, which helps mentally handicapped kids, and due to my sitting on Canada's steering council as vice-president in charge of the activities of knights and dames of the Order in the Province of Ontario. I rose to Grand Cross of Magistral Grace, then Knight of Grace and Devotion, Grand Cross of Grace and Devotion and, finally, to Knight of Obedience. When I reached this final rank, if I had made myself available to the Order of Malta's central government, located in Rome on via Condotti, I could have obtained a ministerial post.
"Last but not least, thanks to direct intervention by Grand Master Fra' Angelo di Majana, I obtained the Barony of Campolevrini and the title of Grand Officer of the Order of Saint Agatha from the Republic of Saint Marino.
Another knighthood I received in Toronto was that of the Military Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, where I was admitted as Knight Commander. After a while I was also admitted as Knight of Grand Cross in the Sovereign Military Teutonic Order of the Levant. Another honour that made me proud with its intrinsic prestige was admission to the Order of Canada. My admission to the Order took place in Ottawa, in the presence of the Governor General of Canada, officiating on behalf of Queen Elizabeth. King Umberto II, from Cascais, appointed me Knight of the Crown of Italy. Mr. Ernst August Fürstzuer Lippe appointed me Holder of the Princely Family Order of Lippe. I was admitted to the Ancient Scientific and Literary Academy of the Incamminati as meritorious member, and the same went for my admission to the Tiberine Academy (an institution of higher education for the advancement of arts, letters, and sciences). I also became a Fellow of London's Royal Society and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. Due to the intervention of two Italian ambassadors to Canada, I first received the rank of Commander and then, a few years later, the rank of Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Italy. At the Capitol, in Rome, I was presented with the Golden Mercury National Award, a prize given to those involved with economic development and co-operation in recognition of the merits I acquired in my capacity as president of the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Toronto. I was also admitted to the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, with a ceremony that took place at their headquarters at the Clos de Voujeot castle in Burgundy. At the same chapter meeting, other people were also admitted, including Germany's Foreign Minister Willy Brandt, France's Foreign Minister Couve de Merville and the U.S. Ambassador to France, James Roosevelt. The evening ceremony and dinner were incredibly well organized, full of warmth and significance, music and song, royal food with wines worthy of the Arabian Nights and a large collection of distinguished guests (400 people from all over the world).
"I was also admitted to the Order of the Noble Companions of the Swan with the rank of commander, to the Knightly Association of St. George the Martyr as a member, and to the ancient Irish order Niadh Nask as a member.
"As a member of the Order of Canada I was appointed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to chair ceremonies for the granting of Canadian citizenship to new immigrants. My name appears in The International Who's Who of Intellectuals, published by the International Biographic Centre of Cambridge, England.
"My name also appears in the Hall of Fame of the American Biographical Institute International Directory of Distinguished Leadership."
Amato belonged to numerous corporate boards. In his autobiography he listed twelve, including Olivetti, Riello and Banca Commerciale Italiana.
The loss of Lanfranco Amato will be keenly felt not only by his family, but by everyone who knew him, not only in Canada and in Italy, but by friends, colleagues and associates all over the world..
