3. Maryland -- Lord Baltimore
   Maryland's largest airport is Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (formerly known as Friendship Airport and recently renamed for former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was born in Baltimore). The only other airports with commercial service are at Hagerstown and Salisbury. The Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., are ... serviced by the other two airports in the region, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Dulles International Airport, both in Northern Virginia.
4. Lenny Bruce -- Courts
   Constantly harassed by both the police and the courts, Bruce became obsessed with the minutiae of his legal proceedings, and much of his later act consisted of him analyzing transcripts of his trials. He wrote a series of autobiographical articles from 1963 to 1965 for Playboy magazine. Those articles were eventually published as How To Talk Dirty and Influence People (1965). He was arrested several times for drug possession during the 1960s and died of an overdose in 1966.
5. Thomas -- Vice President
   As Vice President, Innovation at Frito-Lay, Inc., Thomas was responsible for managing Frito-Lay's salty snack innovation pipeline. Previously, she had served as Vice President, Retail Marketing and Promotions, and led marketing for the Fritos and Tostitos brands. Prior to joining Frito-Lay, Thomas was Director, New Product Marketing, at Pizza Hut, Inc.
6. Robert Byrd -- Ku Klux Klan
   Colleagues said Byrd agreed to have Murray lead the floor fight, even though the Iraq issue is close to his heart. Since the war's outset, he has ranked among Bush's harshest critics, a role that endeared him to many liberals and proved again that a skillful politician can remake his image if he stays in office long enough. His political origins were certainly conservative, including a stint in the Ku Klux Klan - membership for which Byrd has repeatedly apologized. His 14-hour filibuster of civil rights legislation in 1964 was among the longest in Senate history.
7. Howard University -- United States
   Howard University is one of the oldest historically black universities in the United States. It was established by act of Congress in 1867 and named for Oliver Otis Howard, a Union general in the Civil War and a director of the Freedmen’s Bureau.
8. Sidney Poitier -- Bill Cosby
   Sidney Poitier’s characters — doctors, detectives, lawyers, gunslingers, scientists, soldiers — tend to be men of control, men who subdue volcanic rage with reason and intellect. They’re willing to be reasonable up to a point, but when that anger simmers close to the surface, look out. Poiter’s jaw clenches, those remarkable piercing eyes flash with fury, and his voice lowers to a strained, aching whisper. But these characters know that there are bridges to be built, doors to be opened. They know that to survive you have to stay the course. When redneck sheriff Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger) condescendingly purrs in In The Heat of the Night (1967), "What do they call you up in Philadelphia, Virgil?", Poiter says, in measured tones that suggest barely capped dynamite, They call me MISTER Tibbs!" His words were louder than a gunshot; they struck a responsive chord with audiences that continues to reverberate today.
9. Howard University -- Howard University School
   Howard University is a four-year, comprehensive, private, coed liberal arts university. It was founded in 1867 to train black teachers and ministers to guide and teach the 4 million freed slaves and 25,000 free-born blacks. The school was first called Howard Normal and Theological Institute for the Education of Teachers and Preachers, named after General Oliver Otis Howard, one of the founding members and commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau. In 1867, the school was named Howard University in recognition of the much broader educational scope envisioned for the institute. That same year, the University was officially incorporated and chartered. The University’s designated departments were normal and preparatory, collegiate, theological, medical, law, and agriculture.
10. Education Loan -- United States
    Loans for higher education come in different varieties. The most common among them are Federal student loans which are given to the students directly. In this student loan program you do not have to pay anything at the time of enrollment. This facility extends to the half time status. In case you drop the loan before the half time status, the account will automatically shift to a six-month grace period. If you re-enroll within the period of half time status then the loans are subject to be deferred.
