I'll be away from tomorrow morning until Sunday evening and I won't have access to my PC. If we finish this round today or at night, I can still initiate the next round (1968/69) until tomorrow morning (7:00 a.m.) at the latest. Otherwise we would have to wait until Sunday evening, sorry.

Hartley born in 1924 or 1934? From this interview he says he joined the military at 14 more or less and according to Wiki that was 1949...

Gloria Stroock, Priscilla Pointer, Joyce Randolph and Woody Woodbury had Hollywood credits, albeit not during the Golden Age (which I assume is what you were referring to in your post).

A journalist once mentioned to Tony Benn of all people how disappointing it must be for him that one of Tony's sons was right wing. Benn told them never to disparage his children and wouldn't speak to the journalist for years afterwards. Family trumping politics tends to be the norm I find. Certainly is in my family.

I think we can conclude by now that @diego doesn't check his posts before submitting them... just one of his many annoying habits.

So, discussing Sunak on the way into Wembley a few days back (as you do), I'm of the opinion that he's a kind of PM we've never previously seen (nowt to do with his ethnicity). Specifically I'm thinking his motivation in taking the job was partly its ability to boost the rest of his career and that following what he'll present as a manful attempt to wrestle the massive challenges faced by the country under control he'll lose the next election and in what he thinks a reasonably respectable amount of time will work his way back into finance where he'll actually have a career - as opposed to the likes of Bojo who are more jobbing entertainers as they take their various jobs, or the likes of Major who take directorships here and there. In other words Sunak (who turned 43 last month) basically thought running this country was a step on the way to the biggest/best job(s) he'll ever have, which is likely a first for anyone in charge of the UK. Whaddya reckon?

Pat Cooper, who was the Italian-American version of Don Rickles, dead at 93. DDP List of the Missed. I dropped him as I didn’t think he’d get a UK obit. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/07/arts/pat-cooper-dead.html

You first list Morris's death as 1923 -- making him just a 10 year old when he died. You should edit that to 2023.

Andrew Jackson died on this day 178 years ago, aged 78. - Jackson was fatherless- Andrew Sr. died three weeks before his birth in a logging accident. - When he was 13 years old, Jackson served in the American Revolution with his brothers Hugh and Robert, and he was a courier and scout. Andrew and Robert were captured by British troops in 1781; he famously refused to polish a British officer's boots, leading to him striking him with a sword and leaving scars on his hand and face. - Jackson was also well known for his service in the War of 1812 (particularly as the commanding American general at the Battle of New Orleans) and the Creek War. - Jackson also survived at least 13 duels- historians suggest that all the bullets lodged in his body made Jackson rattle when he walked. - Jackson won the electoral and popular vote in the 1824 election, but since he did not receive 50% of the votes, the House of Representatives voted to elect John Quincy Adams. Jackson would defeat him in a rematch in 1828. - Jackson is considered the founder of the modern Democratic Party, alongside Martin Van Buren (who would serve as his Vice President from 1833 to 1837, and who he handpicked as his successor). - In 1835, Jackson became the only US president to pay off the US's national debt, a task which is virtually impossible almost 200 years later (31 trillion dollars and counting). - Jackson was the first US president to have had an assassination attempt made against them: in 1835, a man named Richard Lawrence tried to shoot Jackson twice, but both of his pistols backfired. Jackson then beat Lawrence with his cane. - In his post-presidency, Jackson advocated for the admission of Texas to the union, arguing that the British could use it as a base to threaten the US. - Jackson's death was caused by a combination of heart failure, tuberculosis, and edema. His deathbed regrets were that he didn't kill Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun (the latter being his first VP from 1829 to 1832). His pet parrot, Poll, would be brought to his funeral, but had to be removed because she wouldn't stop swearing (a habit she took from him). - Jackson first appeared on the $20 bill in 1928 (with its current variant being made in 2003). In recent years, there have been calls to have him removed due to him being a slaveowner and his cruel treatment towards Native Americans (particularly during the Indian Wars and his initiation of the Trail of Tears). Harriet Tubman is expected to replace him on the bill by 2030 at the earliest, although he is expected to remain on the reverse side.

James Ivory is 95 today. Tom Jones is 83 today.

I'm sorry for the loss of a friend of your sister, he really seemed like a very good person and he was in an excellent phase getting the record for his country on the same day, it was a fatality indeed

A good bet. Proof even those with improbable inner strength are mortal - though his work and influence have a long life ahead of them. A cult(ish) radio show very dear to my heart has some editing to do on a pre-recorded show due to air soon. Scratch's new single features in an opening triple shot followed by a statement suggesting he still lives.

jesus holy christ. where does the will to live come from??
