    Kurt Waldheim

    We do know that he was in the German SS during World War 2 and that he deliberately hid this information from investigators. At this stage, it is hardly likely that he will be prosecuted, as he is 86 and in frail health and will likely die before charges are successfully brought up against him. In addition, he is still collecting a U.S. $125,000 annual pension from the United Nations. Since we are all paying his pension through taxes, etc, it would be the ultimate irony if he indeed committed wartime atrocities. Especially for the citizens of Israel.

    Luciano Pavarotting.

    Luciano Pavarotti is indeed larger than life. Luciano Pavarotti's heft hampers family holiday Neighbors said Pavarotti actually had to be lowered down the wooden steps from his villa to the terrace using a winch and harness. It took two of the villa's strapping staff in tug-of-war pose to hold him back as he made his way down the steps.

    Johnny Carson Rip

    Johnny Carson was the undisputed king or late night television. He had a good run on the "Tonight Show" from 1962 - 1992. I'll never forget his all famous introduction by side-kick Ed McMahon - "Heeeeere's Johnny!"

    Darlie Routier

    I believe many prominent Americans prefer that spelling. I assure you, Notapotato is no lady. Actually in 1992, the ex American Vice President, Dan Quayle made a major gaffe regarding the spelling of potato. He was visiting an elementary school and asked a Trenton, sixth grader to spell potato. The boy correctly spelled it, but Mr. Quayle tried to correct him by insisting that it was spelt “potatoe” This incident still follows Mr Quayle, even though it happened 13 years ago.

    Ruth Warrick

    Ruth will be sadly missed, as she was an icon on U.S. television.
  10. The Chinese government has denied overseas media reports that Zhao Ziyang, the deposed premier and former Communist Party Leader, had died in hospital over the weekend. His daughter, Wang Yannan reported that he had been in hospital for about a month and was "not in danger", but other unnamed sources told Reuters news agency that Mr. Zhao's state was "not good".

    Zhao Ziyang – Former Communist Party Leader

    Actually, a bit closer than one location - more like all in the same room. Actually they are from the same cybercafe. I own and operate one in the Chinatown area of Toronto. 80% of my customers are Chinese.

    Nfl's Reggie White Dies

    Today Reggie White passed away at the age of 43. He was one of the greatest and most feared defensive players in the National Football League (NFL) in the United States and had a 15 year career with Philadelphia, Green Bay and Carolina. I am not sure how well he is known in the U.K., but he was an icon to many NFL fans in the United States and abroad. May he rest in peace. Reggie White Reggie White dies

    Zhao Ziyang – Former Communist Party Leader

    "A benign communist", now that's a first! I think he meant a “benevolent communist”. For a moment I thought R. Chin was talking about a tumor.
