1. David Frost -- Sir David Frost
   David Frost is a diverse, long-lasting and innovatory performer on TV. From his earliest days on "That Was The Week That Was" - the show which turned TV in a new direction - to his recent interviews of presidents and prime ministers he has never been far from the centre of events. This autobiography gives the author's own account of the foundation of London Weekend TV and the beginnings of his business interests. But it is in interviewing that David Frost has made an impression and in this book he describes encounters with Moshe Dayan, Sir Oswald Mosley, Cardinal Heenan, Rupert Murdoch, Jane Fonda, Jesse Jackson and Adam Clayton Powell. They ... illuminate some of the great questions of his time - drugs, racism, the decline of religious faith - and capture the moods of England and America in the 1960s.

3. Nick Frost -- Simon Pegg

4. Bee Gees -- Robert Stigwood
   The Bee Gees' follow-up to Saturday Night Fever was the Spirits Having Flown album. It yielded three more #1 hits: "Too Much Heaven", "Tragedy", and "Love You Inside Out." This gave the act six consecutive #1 singles in America within a year and a half (a record surpassed only by Whitney Houston). "Too Much Heaven" ended up as the Bee Gees' musical contribution to the Music for UNICEF Concert at the United Nations General Assembly in January 1979, a benefit organized by the Bee Gees, Robert Stigwood, and David Frost for UNICEF that was broadcast worldwide. The brothers donated the royalties from the song to the charity.

6. Robert Blake -- Bonny Lee Bakley

He allegedly killed her with a gun in the parking lot of Vitello's Restaurant in Studio City, California in May 4, 2001. Blake had previously been married to actress Sondra Kerry in 1964. They had two children, Noah and Delinah but later divorced.
7. Catullus -- Poetry
   Poetry is notoriously difficult to translate; of poetry, Latin poetry is particularly difficult; and of Latin poetry, Catullus is among the most resistant to translation. One is inclined to agree, with Robert Frost, that poetry is precisely that aspect of literature which cannot be translated from one language to another.

9. Romanticism -- Unit
   The place of Romanticism outside of literature is harder to assess. Unitarianism shared many characteristics with the transcendentalist movement it spawned, particularly its distaste for the stern Calvinist image of God, and its support for liberal political reform. It was less comfortable... with Emersonian notions of the divinity in man, and openly opposed the transcendentalists' rejection of both the Holy Trinity and Christ's miracles. More generally, the religious intensity of the mid-century can be seen as broadly Romantic, and in fact transcendentalism has frequently been read as a more secular form of the revivalism that swept the Midwest and the "burned-over" district of upstate New York. Here the shifting allegiances of the Beecher family may be taken as representative. Firmly grounded in a Calvinist tradition of fire-and-brimstone preaching, Lyman Beecher openly rejected the "icy" rhetoric of Boston Unitarianism.
10. American Poetry -- Modern American Poetry
    The first generation of Italian-American writers to work in English made their most important contributions neither in poetry nor fiction but in radical politics. Carlo Tresca and Arturo Giovannitti, for example, were both published poets, but today they are remembered for their social activism. Their political journalism, which passionately addressed the timeless concerns of equality and justice, remains more vital than their verse. Selden Rodman boldly reprinted Bartolomeo Vanzetti's last speech to the court as verse in his 1938 New Anthology of Modern Verse, and Vanzetti's proud words spoken in slightly awkward English sustain the pressure of transcription. Few poems by his Italian-American contemporaries still read so well.
