Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, to a middle-class family, Thompson had a turbulent youth after the death of his father left the family in poverty. He was unable to formally finish high school as he was incarcerated for 60 days after abetting a robbery. He subsequently joined the United States Air Force before moving into journalism. He traveled frequently, including stints in California, Puerto Rico, and Brazil, before settling in Aspen, Colorado, in the early 1960s. Politically minded, Thompson ran unsuccessfully for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, in 1970, on the Freak Power ticket.

While suffering a bout of health problems, Thompson committed suicide at the age of 67. Early life[edit] Education[edit] Interested in sports and athletically inclined from a young age, Thompson co-founded the Hawks Athletic Club while attending I. Military service[edit] Early journalism career[edit] "... Werner Herzog. Werner Herzog[1] (German: [ˈvɛɐ̯nɐ ˈhɛɐ̯tsoːk]; born 5 September 1942) is a German screenwriter, film director, author, actor, and opera director. Herzog is considered one of the greatest figures of the New German Cinema, along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Margarethe von Trotta, Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Schröter, and Wim Wenders. Herzog's films often feature heroes with impossible dreams,[2] people with unique talents in obscure fields, or individuals who are in conflict with nature.[3] French filmmaker François Truffaut once called Herzog "the most important film director alive.

"[4] American film critic Roger Ebert said that Herzog "has never created a single film that is compromised, shameful, made for pragmatic reasons, or uninteresting. Early life[edit] Herzog was born Werner Stipetić in Munich, to Elizabeth Stipetić, an Austrian of Croatian descent, and Dietrich Herzog, who was German. Career[edit] Werner Herzog's star on the Boulevard der Stars in Berlin. Film theory[edit] Franz Kafka. Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In his lifetime, most of the population of Prague spoke Czech, and the division between Czech- and German-speaking people was a tangible reality, as both groups were strengthening their national identity. The Jewish community often found itself in between the two sentiments, naturally raising questions about a place to which one belongs. Kafka himself was fluent in both languages, considering German his mother tongue.

Kafka trained as a lawyer and after completing his legal education, obtained employment with an insurance company. He began to write short stories in his spare time. For the rest of his life, he complained about the little time he had to devote to what he came to regard as his calling. Life[edit] Family[edit] Plaque marking the birthplace of Franz Kafka in Prague. Education[edit] Employment[edit] Private life[edit] Robert Henri. Robert Henri (24 June 1865 – 12 July 1929) was an American painter and teacher.

He was a leading figure of the Ashcan School of American realism and an organizer of the group known as "The Eight," a loose association of artists who protested the restrictive exhibition practices of the powerful, conservative National Academy of Design. Early life[edit] Robert Henri was born Robert Henry Cozad in Cincinnati, Ohio to Theresa Gatewood Cozad of and John Jackson Cozad, a gambler and real estate developer.[1] Henri was a distant cousin of the noted American painter Mary Cassatt.[2] In 1871, Henri's father founded the town of Cozaddale, Ohio. In 1873, the family moved west to Nebraska, where Robert Cozad founded the town of Cozad.[3] In October 1882, Henri's father became embroiled in a dispute with a rancher, Alfred Pearson, over the right to pasture cattle on land claimed by the family.

When the dispute turned physical, Cozad shot Pearson fatally with a pistol. Education[edit] Work[edit] -=IDEAS=- Server rack that lifts out of floor. Pocket Needs RSS. Feed Star.
