I doubt there are much people alive who've held official meetings with Pres. Kennedy... That reminds me, I wonder if William V. S. Tubman Jr. is alive. Son of longtime president William Tubman and one of Liberia's most powerful politicians from the 1950s to the 1980 coup. Last mention of him I could find is from 2008 but he'd be around 92 now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Local city council members seem pretty low on the political spectrum to be included herein, basketball playing aside. If they were DL Cup entries perhaps, seeing as they got sone run; but otherwise damn near any political office can be posted and is that a policy we want to set?

He was force fed for four years during one of his hunger strikes! Shih Ming-teh, Taiwanese dissident, longtime political prisoner and politician sometimes called Taiwan's Mandela, reportedly dead at 83. Mentioned here multiple times since 2006 due to his longtime battle with liver cancer. He was hospitalised in critical condition with a recurrence last month but seems it was never reported by any English language news source. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
