3. Richard Petty Driving Experience -- Rpde Operations
   Petty Driving Experience teams up with Clemson for Safe Driving Program: Richard Petty Driving Experience (RPDE), in partnership with Clemson University's Automotive Safety Research Institute (ASRI) announced the launch of its national Safe Driving Program. The program is intended to prevent or reduce highway crashes by high-risk adolescent and young adult participants by measurably improving driver skills, attitudes, knowledge and behavior. The research-based Safe Driving Program, initially designed for high-risk drivers aged 16 to 25, will teach safe driving skills and safety education to participants through a classroom setting and on-track experiences by placing students in hazardous driving situations in a controlled and safe environment. Professional driving instructors will coach the students through corrective responses during each stage of the safe driving modules. RPDE and Clemson will develop a unique safe driving program based on best practices for both classroom instruction and on-track laboratory experiences targeting the acquisition of safe driving skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. Kyle Petty, a long-time advocate of driver safety for young adults, will serve as the spokesman for this initiative, and Kim Alexander, executive director of ASRI, will lead the research team and serve as Clemson's spokesperson.
4. Tom Petty -- Bob Dylan
   During 1988, Petty became a member of the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys, which ... featured Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne. The Wilburys released their first album at the end of 1988 and its sound became the blueprint for Petty's first solo effort, 1989's Full Moon Fever. Produced by Lynne and featuring the support of most of the Heartbreakers, Full Moon Fever became Petty's commercial pinnacle, reaching number three on the U.S. charts, going triple platinum, and generating the hit singles "I Won't Back Down," "Runnin' Down a Dream," and "Free Fallin'," which reached number seven. In 1990, he contributed to the Traveling Wilburys' second album, Vol. 3. Petty officially reunited with the Heartbreakers on Into the Great Wide Open, which was also produced by Jeff Lynne. Released in the spring of 1991, Into the Great Wide Open sustained the momentum of Full Moon Fever, earning strong reviews and going platinum.
5. Richard Attenborough -- Sir Richard Attenborough
   Sir Richard Attenborough is the director of the 1982 film Gandhi, winner of eight Academy Awards®, and the author of In Search of Gandhi. His international film and stage career as an actor, producer, and director spans sixty years.
6. Richard Strauss -- Life
   "Ein Heldenleben" — "A Hero's Life" — like Strauss's "Symphonia Domestica," contains provokingly good material. Provoking because this is a case of aggressive egotism, because its hero is Strauss himself, who hymns in a fifty-minute tone-poem his own greatness and the pettiness of his enemies. Who are they? Presumably the critics! It is a sweet revenge, since, if fair-minded, they must praise at least the major part of this tonal autobiography. It is not Strauss's first attempt at self-glorification, for his second opera, "Feuersnot" (Need of Fire), has in transparent guise a certain Richard, a magician, for its hero, who brings a backward community to heel by the fires of his genius.
7. Richard Dreyfuss -- American General
   Richard Dreyfuss began his career in the 1960s with bit parts in the feature films The Graduate and Valley of the Dolls in 1967. His performance as Baby Face Nelson in Dillinger in 1973 led to major roles in George Lucas' American Graffiti later that year and The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz in 1974.
8. Michael Richards -- Audience
   To the person that is trying to defend Mr. Richards, the two guys in the audience, yelled out, "you're not funny", they didn't call him a cracker first, so that is not true. Michael is the one that decided to let his true colors shine. The old saying holds true, "What's in a man will come out." Michael and Mel have these issues inside of them, pushed to the limit, their dirty little secret comes out.
9. Richard E. Grant -- Swaziland
   Richard E. Grant is one of today's most cherished actors who ... has demonstrated enviable dexterity as a writer. With Wah-Wah, his directorial debut which coincides with his book The Wah Wah Diaries, Grant combined the two aspects of his creative life (filmmaking and writing) and used them to tell a funny and deeply moving portrait of his childhood and his love affair with Swaziland, where he was brought up during the last throes of the British Empire. He talks with Jennifer Byrne.
