  1. Gertrude Lawrence -- Noel Coward
    Gertrude Lawrence was one of Great Britain's brightest theatrical stars during the first half of the 20th century. A lifelong friend and colleague of Noel Coward, Lawrence's forte was sophisticated musical [C]omedy, where she exuded a lively, charismatic stage presence that easily overcame her shortcomings as a singer. She was sometimes criticized for a small vocal range and a tendency to sing flat, but her emotional commitment and flat-out star power earned her the approval of most of the musical legends she worked with (Coward, the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Kurt Weill, Rodgers & Hammerstein, etc.). Her recorded legacy is somewhat limited, as she was most in her element on-stage in theaters or cabarets, but enough documentation exists to bring her talents into focus for modern listeners.
  2. Ivor Novello -- Noel Coward
    Born in Wales in 1893 as David Ivor Davies, Ivor Novello took his stage name from his mother, singer and voice teacher Clara Novello Davies. He shot to fame overnight with his 1914 song ‘Keep the Home Fires Burning’, one of the most famous songs of World War 1. Like his contemporary Noël Coward, Novello was a multi-talented matinee idol on stage and film, a writer and composer. He ... wrote plays for himself to star in, including The Rat in 1924, followed by Symphony in Two Flats, The Truth Game and Proscenium.
  3. Beatrice Lillie -- Noel Coward
    En 1964, à l'âge de 70ans, Beatrice Lillie incarne Madame Arcati dans High Spirits à New York. Cette adaptation musicale de la comédie de Noel Coward, Blithe Spirit(1941), est dirigée par Coward lui-même à New York. La comédienne est de nouveau mise en nomination pour un Tony Award pour cette prestation.
  4. Jesse James -- Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
    Much of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is about the ingenious James staying ahead of those who would betray him. The wheels in his killer’s mind are whirring, as are those of his frequently sweating gang members. With so much game playing going on, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford holds far more psychological violence than gunfights and fisticuffs.
  5. Bill Maher -- Abc Television
    Shortly after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Maher remarked on-air that the U.S. had been more "cowardly" than its attackers. The remark prompted a public outcry, including a dressing-down from the White House and the departure of a number of the show's sponsors. As the show's title suggests, Maher was never one to shy away from controversy. Nevertheless, his relationship with ABC never truly recovered. The show's five-year run on ABC came to a close in June 2002.
  6. Conscription -- People
    Like the Israeli army, the German one still retains a conscription recruitment system. However, increasingly frequent appeals are heard in the parliament lately to give it up for completely contract units. More so, that according to the parliamentarians about 45% of young Germans refuse to serve in the army in favor of alternative civil service. At the same time, politicians claim, what use are soldiers who are taught the military profession only 10 months. They say, during that time a soldier can be taught shooting and crawling, but it is not enough in the age of high technologies and high accuracy arms, when equipment determines the outcome of a combat to a greater extent than people.
  7. Celia Johnson -- Laura Jesson
    Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) a housewife meets Dr. Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard) a married doctor by chance at the railway station. Beautiful story of a passionate yet unconsummated relationship between a man and a woman and a realistic description of provincial, middle class English life. Directed by David Lean.
  8. Ethnic Cleansing -- Miscellaneous
    "This agency participated in the ethnic cleansing that befell the Western tribes," Gover said. "It must be acknowledged that the deliberate spread of disease, the decimation of the mighty bison herds, the use of the poison alcohol to destroy mind and body, and the cowardly killing of women and children made for tragedy on a scale so ghastly that it cannot be dismissed as merely the inevitable consequence of the clash of competing ways of life."
  9. Hudson Valley Renegades -- Penn League
    Description: Home of the Hudson Valley Renegades, the Class A minor league baseball club affiliated with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. 38 home games a season, special promotional days, discounted group rates (25+).
  10. Will Young -- Role
