Legend has it that while the revolutionary leaders were being executed, Austrian generals were drinking beer and arrogantly clinking their beer mugs together in celebration of Hungary's defeat.

Hungarians thus vowed never to clink glasses while drinking beer for 150 years thereafter[citation needed]. There is no explanation for the specified timeframe of 150 years. Although theoretically discontinued on October 6, 1999,[4] in practice, this tradition continued for about a decade after. Throughout Hungary, the clinking of beer mugs or bottles was considered to be bad manners. By 2000s, most Hungarians began to click to their beer mugs – as in the rest of Europe – with little or no hesitation. The exception being of course a handful of openly patriotic citizens that vow to never forget.

At one point he is quoted as blurting out, unexpectedly, "When in doubt, fuck." It also includes a statement near the end from the interviewer, Camilla Long, that I believe is without precedent even in the giddy history of the celebrity profile:

I...feel quite certain that he would willingly show me his penis, given slightly different circumstances and a bucket of champagne.

"Wow," says Fassbender when I recite this to him. "No, I haven’t read that one. Just as well, really." But he does remember the interview. "The first thing she said to me was, ’So, what does it feel like to have a big cock?’ That was her opening question."

And as for her bold assertion about what he might’ve done?

"I don’t think I would touch her with a barge pole."

Mr. Cruz became devoted to Mr. Luttig, whom Mr. Cruz has described as “like a father to me.” During his clerkship, he presented his boss with a caricature of him and other clerks pulling a stagecoach driven by the judge. According to someone who saw the illustration, there was a graveyard behind them with headstones representing the number of people executed in their jurisdiction that year.

The year Mr. Cruz and the others clerked, many of the roughly 80 cases taken up by the justices made major news. For a case about the constitutionality of a law regulating Internet pornography, Mr. Cruz watched X-rated sex scenes on a computer with Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice O’Connor.

His wife, Joanna, said in a statement: “It is with heartbroken sadness I let you know that my husband, Henry Worsley, has died following complete organ failure; despite all efforts of ALE [Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions] and medical staff at the Clinica Magallanes in Punta Arenas, Chile.”

The former lieutenant colonel, walking in temperatures of -44C, through white-out blizzards and over treacherous ice, had passed the South Pole when he needed help. He had covered 913 miles, with just 30 miles to go.

Happy Science teaches that human beings reincarnate again and again into the Earth for a soul training. That is, it reveals what Heidegger could not explain, namely, “the meaning of humans being thrown into the world.” Furthermore, it teaches that humans return to the spirit realm according to how they lived their lives, so they should refine their souls for spiritual growth so that they can return to the higher level of the real world. Happy Science teachings have transcended Heideggerian philosophy in clearly explaining the purpose and meaning of life.

On the other hand, it differs from such shallow positive thinking as “if you think about it, it will come true.” It teaches “the creation of future” after understanding everything about the mechanisms of fate and environment that Heidegger analyzed. In this sense, Heideggerian philosophy can be said to be the flesh and blood of Happy Science teachings.

The spirit of Heidegger also stated that he has high hopes for Happy Science on the political front as well. He likened the huge confusion that will be brought about by China with the “Pandora’s Box.” He clearly said that when this happens, the “creation of freedom” will be necessary and that Happy Science who opposes totalitarianism will be indeed the “hope”. It is all the more significant as these words are spoken by Heidegger who regrets having been complicit in totalitarianism.

Trump boasted she was so poor that when she arrived in America in the 1930s she was barefoot, and still barefoot when she met his father Fred Trump, the son of German immigrants, at a dance. Trump clearly worshipped her.

He took me to meet her in his Trump Tower penthouse. She was perfectly and expensively groomed. Now the shoes were by Chanel.

Her fingernails were a shiny scarlet, the hair coiffeured, her manner impeccable – the perfect wealthy American matron, all trace of the humble Scottish lass airbrushed away. A trophy mother.

Trophy women are undoubtedly important to Trump and there would have been no bigger trophy than Princess Diana. He told friends he might have had a ‘shot’ at her, describing her as his ‘dream lady’.

In his 1997 book, The Art Of The Comeback, he wrote: ‘I only have one regret in the woman department, that I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer. I met her on a number of occasions... She lit up the room with her charm, her presence.’

The Americanization of immigrants' names could be the subject of an interesting study. There were occasions when Slavic immigrants in the mining districts of Pennsylvania changed their names to Kelly or Costello, emulating the Irish foreman, unaware that these names were not Anglo-Saxon. (A classic example of a melting-pot name: Alvin O'Konski, a sec-ond-generation American who was a congressman, rabid isolationist and nationalist from the Middle West in the 1940s.) American Jews had a predilection for bestowing Scottish surnames on their children: Milton, Sidney, Mortimer, Irving. (In his short novel A Cool Million, the gloomy and thoughtful Nathanael West constructed a splendid category of Puri-tan-Jewish names: Ezra Silverblatt, Asa Goldstein, etc.) By the 1950s the oddness of the Norman-Jewish or Gaelic-Jewish configurations of such names as Norman Podhoretz, Norman Mailer, Paddy Chayefsky, the names of well-known Jewish American writers, was no longer noticeable. In the early 1960s the first Italian governor of Massachusetts, Foster Furcolo (another melting-pot name) chose to list his name as Furcolowe in the Yale Alumni Directory—this at a time when Italians had replaced the Irish (who two generations before had replaced the Anglo-Saxons) as the most numerous group in Boston and in Massachusetts.
