The Dirty Pair is an original English-language manga written and illustrated by Adam Warren, based on the original Dirty Pair characters created by Haruka Takachiho.

The Dirty Pair


The American comic company and manga translator Studio Proteus acquired rights to create comic versions of the Dirty Pair in 1988. The first three limited series, reprinted in the collected editions Biohazards, Dangerous Acquaintances, and Plague of Angels, were published by the since-defunct Eclipse Comics. Later, the rights were transferred to Dark Horse Comics. The first three series were written by Toren Smith and Adam Warren and drawn by Warren—after that, Smith left the project and Warren took over writing completely. These stories have a much more cyberpunk style than the other versions; the later stories, starting with "Fatal But Not Serious", move into the transhuman and posthuman subgenres.

The Dirty Pair


Kei and Yuri are two Trouble Consultants (Criminal Division, Class A) for the World Welfare Work Association (3WA), code-named "Lovely Angels", but known throughout the United Galactica (UG) as the "Dirty Pair", a nickname given to them by the press due to their bad luck with their missions, which always seem to end in complete disaster. But they are always cleared of any wrongdoing by the UG's Central Computer because the extreme damage is never actually their fault (though their mere presence has been known to make things worse).

The Dirty Pair


They originally met at Meizuru university for Lucien genetic upgrades around A.D. 2134, although it is not necessarily canon, they were both misfits within their year, and so became friends. Around A.D. 2137, just before graduation from Meizuru university, they played a prank on their friends, convincing them that they were both psychic. Shortly afterwards, news reached the 3WA and they were scouted for recruitment and tested by a parapsychology institute. The pair cheated every which way possible (the really short skirts were Kei's idea), and they tested positive for clairvoyance; the 3WA considered this to be useful and hired them.

The Dirty Pair


Although outwardly they almost constantly fight and bicker with each other, they are both loyal best friends, always pairing up together to deck anyone that calls them by their "Dirty Pair" nickname.

The Dirty Pair


Kei, 19, was born November 27, 2122. She is a Lucien-type genetic upgrade, has long red hair with large bangs, brown eyes (more often than not green), is 171 cm tall and weighs 59 kg. Kei shares the same Lucien genetic code somatotype as Yuri, meaning that their bodies are basically identical, including height. Kei is the tomboy of the pair, outgoing, loud, and boisterous. She has remarked that she is "the exciting half of our team" and that "drinking or sex would be my responsibilities". Although she often fights and argues with Yuri, she has displayed a much softer side to her personality, revealing in the Sim Hell mini-series that her biggest fear is that of losing Yuri, and having very watery eyes over the death of the original Yuri during Fatal But Not Serious. Kei has a passion for cheesecake, large firearms, and bleeding edge mecha and war-tech.

The Dirty Pair


The original Yuri was born March 18, 2122; and the current clone on September 12, 2141. She is a Lucien-type genetic upgrade, has long black hair, blue eyes, is 171 cm tall and weighs 58 kg. Yuri shares the same Lucien genetic code somatotype as Kei, meaning that their bodies are basically identical, including height. Yuri is the more stereotypical retro-feminine of the two, being the more demure, modest, polite, and friendly of the two. This appears to stem from her traditional Japanese upbringing, and possibly from her fears of what other people think of her in regard to all the disasters they have been indirectly involved in. During the plot line of Fatal But Not Serious, another version of her was cloned from her stolen personality construct and tissue samples kept on record at the 3WA. The cloned version of Yuri had a "seratonin-based progressive imbalance" set into her neurochemistry to make her psychotically suicidal, and was tasked with the mission of killing the original Kei and Yuri (which she believed to be a simulation). She was partially successful, terminating only the original Yuri. Shortly after, the cloned Yuri received medical attention, and is now identical to the original Yuri. Although she often fights with her partner Kei, she has a deep devotion to her best friend. In Sim Hell, while dining with "an old friend", Dan, she spoke of nothing but Kei, and when it was revealed Kei was in danger, ran immediately to her aid. In Fatal But Not Serious, Yuri could not bring herself to kill Kei in cold blood, despite her neurochemistry imbalance. It is also revealed that Yuri has a deep admiration for Kei's rebel side, stealing her stuff in Fatal But Not Serious and acting the "bad girl", as well as attempting to act more like Kei after they engaged synchronous puppet mode, taking control of each other's bodies and trading perps in Run From the Future.

The Dirty Pair


Biohazards is an original English-language manga written by Toren Smith and Adam Warren and illustrated by Warren, based on the Dirty Pair characters created by Haruka Takachiho. The series was originally published by Eclipse Comics between December 1988 and April 1989, and was first published in paperback and hardcover graphic novel format in 1990. With the transfer of the property rights to Dark Horse Comics, Biohazards was republished as a trade paperback entitled Dirty Pair: Biohazards – 10th Anniversary Special Edition in September 1998. This edition includes the 8-page short story I Honestly Hate You from the 1994 San Diego Comic Con Comics #3 as a bonus.

The Dirty Pair


The Lovely Angels are assigned to Pacifica. Tissue samples and the single surviving brainchip of leading biotechnical engineer Kelvin A. O'Donnell have been stolen by agents of Abraham Streib, a rival industrialist maimed in an accident apparently staged by O'Donnell. Enter the Dirty Pair, who rescue O'Donnell's brainchip, implanted by Streib in a cuddly Pseudo-Fuzzy. Mission accomplished, but O'Donnell convinces the Angels of Streib's traffic in illegal bioweapons, and persuades them to help him retrieve his tissue samples so he can regain his humanity. His consciousness transferred to a synthetic warbeast, O'Donnell leads the Pair to Streib's lab, obliterating most of his cronies—and a sizable section of Pacifica's capital city. O'Donnell assures the destruction of Streib's operation, and of Streib himself, but, en route home, is arrested by Pacifica Security for unlawful bioweapons production of his own.

The Dirty Pair


Dangerous Acquaintances

The Dirty Pair


Dangerous Acquaintances is an original English-language manga written Toren Smith and Adam Warren and illustrated by Warren, based on the Dirty Pair characters created by Haruka Takachiho. The series was originally published by Eclipse Comics between June 1989 and March 1990, and was first published in paperback and hardcover graphic novel format in 1991. With the transfer of the property rights to Dark Horse Comics, Dangerous Acquaintances was republished as a trade paperback in June 1997.

The Dirty Pair


The 1997 reissue of the story features edited artwork for the chapters that comprise issues 3 through 5 of the original publication. The edits made were to Kei and Yuri's waitress costumes. In the original publication the costumes were Playboy Bunny costumes, though never referred to as such specifically. In the 1997 reprint the ears and tails were digitally removed from all of the panels in which they appear, though in some panels the shadows on the walls behind the characters still have the ears and tails.

The Dirty Pair


The Lovely Angels are on vacation on the planet of Rocinante when they spot an old "acquaintance", Shasti. Kei and Yuri immediately attack Shasti in a drunken rage, but are quickly subdued by the heavily armed and violent local police as Shasti blends into the crowd. Through a series of flashbacks interwoven though the story, the tale of the betrayal, attempted murder, and humiliation of the (then-rookie) pair by the increasingly psychotic superagent Shasti is told. The Lovely Angels start investigating Shasti's presence on the planet, and uncover a nest of apparently unconnected plots that all seem to have Shasti as the leader. Among revolutionaries, a band of thieves after a collection of priceless antiques, and an experimental one-of-a-kind FTL drive installed in an interstellar liner filled with rich and influential potential hostages, the Dirty Pair must determine which is Shasti's real goal and what is simply smokescreen.

The Dirty Pair


A Plague of Angels is the third original English-language manga version of Haruka Takachiho's Dirty Pair characters, written by Toren Smith and Adam Warren and illustrated by Warren. It was the last Dirty Pair comic that Smith and Warren co-wrote, Warren going on to handle all future writing for the series on his own. The series was originally published by Studio Proteus between August 1990 and November 1991, and has since been collected into a trade paperback, which was reissued by Dark Horse Comics in December 1995.

The Dirty Pair


As public outrage peaks, the Angels are restricted to the Kalevala O'Neill Colony to help with local investigations of a technology-smuggling outfit. Meanwhile, the 3WA launches a full-scale public relations assault, commissioning a glowingly positive profile for High Sense magazine. As the Pair turn a routine stake-out into a free-for-all, ambitious reporter Cory Emerson takes the assignment. Cory arrives to find the Pair in trouble with security for the stake-out fiasco, which nonetheless has revealed the nature of their adversaries: artificial personalities encoded on micro-software plugs enabling the smugglers to move between host bodies. The Angels, with Cory in tow, go solo to crack the ring, but the smugglers unleash their secret weapon: a robot using a maniacal artificial personality that threatens to blow everyone up using a low-yield gravity bomb. The Pair successfully defeat the robot, but the bomb does not seem to be with it anymore.

The Dirty Pair


Sim Hell is the fourth original English-language manga version of Haruka Takachiho's Dirty Pair characters, written and illustrated by Adam Warren. It was the first Dirty Pair comic that saw Warren handle all the writing, having previously co-wrote with Toren Smith. The series was originally published by Dark Horse Comics between May and August 1993, and has since been collected into a trade paperback. Later, a colorized, reissued version (Sim Hell Remastered) was published between May and August 2001.

The Dirty Pair


The Lovely Angels report to the 3WA headquarters for Kei's annual evaluative assessment by the top-secret Central Computer, the 3WA's "chief operating entity". Before any direct examination can take place, Kei must first participate via neural interface in several computer-generated interactive simulations, or "sims". Something goes awry and Kei is seemingly trapped in a potentially lethal feedback loop with the computers running the simulation. Yuri jacks in to the sim's virtual reality to save Kei, but soon finds that both of them are now stuck in an endless series of simulations. Initially, the Angels struggle through historical sims, set decades earlier during the genocidal "Nanoclysm", a plague of artificially intelligent Nanoviruses that nearly annihilated humanity. They discover that they are trapped in simulations belonging to the shadowy Bureau of Technological Regulation (BTR), a secretive group whose business is the control of certain dangerous technologies. Eventually, Kei and Yuri stumble upon a private sim owned by Kevin Sleet, their obnoxious tormentor from the BTR. There, they find that a rogue faction of the BTR, using supposedly forbidden technologies, intends to seize control of the 3WA's Central Computer and use its formidable powers to help mount a paramilitary coup of human civilization. But worst of all, the Angels discover that Sleet plans on a future where clones of Kei and Yuri serve as his personal harem. Nauseated, our heroines head for a final confrontation with the nefarious lout. They find the Central Computer is not without its own defenses.

The Dirty Pair


"I Honestly Hate You"

The Dirty Pair


"I Honestly Hate You" is an eight-page short story originally published in August 1994 in the (annual) San Diego Comic Con Comics #3 (reprinted in 1998 by Dark Horse Comics in the Dirty Pair: Biohazards trade paperback).

The Dirty Pair


Kei decides that she has had enough of dealing with Yuri's personality and derisive comments. She equips herself with fighting equipment and storms her room to teach her a lesson.

The Dirty Pair


The black-and-white drawing style is reminiscent of Japanese manga, with heavy usage of gray-scale sheets, panels arriving to the edge of the pages on all four edges, kinetic lines showing movement, and some panels having no borders or being inclined to a side to show the direction of action.

The Dirty Pair


Fatal But Not Serious

The Dirty Pair


Fatal But Not Serious is the sixth original English-language manga version of Haruka Takachiho's Dirty Pair characters, written and illustrated by Adam Warren. The series was originally published by Dark Horse Comics between July and November 1995, and has since been collected into a trade paperback.

The Dirty Pair


While the majority of humanity still lives in fear of the Dirty Pair and their well-publicized "disastrous proclivities", a surprising number of people have, for a wide variety of reasons, chosen to embrace the Lovely Angels as beloved, if destructive, "idol figures". Recently, the Pair's galaxy-wide cult following has grown large enough to support an actual convention celebrating their dubious celebrity. In a doomed bid to generate some positive media coverage, the Lovely Angels themselves are attending this "Kei'n'YuriCon '41" as guests of honor, but their enemies are conspiring to derail this ill-fated "charm offensive". Just before the convention, the Lovely Angels defeated a terrorist group in a bloody battle that left Kei with a broken leg. The surviving terrorist sought his revenge by unleashing a tailored "neurovirus", designed to trigger an anti-Dirty Pair hysteria and mob violence at the convention. More ominously, a renegade branch of the 3WA has stolen the Lovely Angel's "back-up copy" personality constructs and tissue samples, generated a memory-intact clone of Yuri, and duped the freshly grown Angel into thinking she is undergoing an interactive simulation, a bizarre virtual reality scenario that requires her to assassinate the original Kei and Yuri. In typical Dirty Pair fashion, she is going to accomplish her mission beyond the shadow of a doubt, by causing the local sun to go supernova. Fortunately, the planetary authorities drew up plans to evacuate the system when they heard the Dirty Pair would be attending.

The Dirty Pair


This series uses finished artwork that is inked and colored. The character designs use plain colors without gradients and shadows are done with zones of darker plain colors or with black zones, similar to anime. Cinetic lines are heavily used to represent movement, like Japanese manga. The environments are all futuristic.

The Dirty Pair


Start the Violence is a one-shot comic featuring the original English-language manga version of Haruka Takachiho's Dirty Pair characters, written and illustrated by Adam Warren. It was included in the Dirty Pair: Run From the Future trade paperback by Dark Horse Comics in January 2002.  It was also published in three parts in Dark Horse Presents issues 132–134.

The Dirty Pair


Run from the Future is the eighth original English-language manga version of Haruka Takachiho's Dirty Pair characters, written and illustrated by Adam Warren. The series was originally published by Dark Horse Comics between January and April 2000, and has since been collected into a trade paperback.

The Dirty Pair


Kei and Yuri, disguised as a pregnant Shasti and an overweight male model, with EPD (Explosive Personality Disorder) Eddie, travel to the covert trade and technology nexus of the Nimkasi, a Dyson tree habitat, where the 3WA have scored a deal with the Black Market habitat to poach 50 of the worst "crims, terrs, and pirates" from its megatree branches, in less than 100 minutes. Subduing, arresting, and battling with a sentient Smart Cloth "Living Leather" suit, a French post-human terrorist leader and his mechas, terrorist artists, bio-tattooed orcas, the blood-thirsty Teddy Roosevelt gladiator, Kei's schoolgirl crush, and Binky. The Lovely Angels may just pull off their first ever "collateral damage"-free mission, but a trip down memory lane for Yuri and Kei's own faith issues conspire against them. In the end, the Angels are successful (if only for a short while), but narrowly miss seeing the real Shasti.

Interstate 485 (I-485) is a cancelled auxiliary Interstate Highway that would have traveled eastward and then northward from Downtown Atlanta, in the US state of Georgia.

Interstate 485 (Georgia)


The 5.9-mile-long (9.5 km) route would have begun at the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85) and used the highway that is now State Route 410 (SR 410) east to the interchange with the also-proposed SR 400. There, it would have turned north to end at I-85 near SR 236 (Lindbergh Drive). Each of those freeways would have continued beyond the termini of I-485. SR 410, the Stone Mountain Freeway, would continue east beyond the I-285 perimeter highway, and SR 400 would extend both south and north outside the perimeter. A short piece of I-485/SR 410 was constructed from I-75/I-85 east to Boulevard Northeast.

Interstate 485 (Georgia)


Activists in the neighborhood of Morningside, along the SR 400 portion of I-485, were the first to fight the road, although opposition surfaced in a number of nearby surrounding neighborhoods. This is the most famous example of the Atlanta freeway revolts. After I-485, and parts of SR 400 and SR 410, was canceled, a portion of the right-of-way of the canceled highway was used to build Freedom Parkway, now part of SR 10. SR 400 north of I-85 was constructed in the early 1990s as a toll road, and the section south of I-285 was constructed in the mid-1980s and designated I-675.

Captain America is a comic book title featuring the character Captain America and published by Marvel Comics. The original Captain America comic book series debuted in 1968.

Captain America (comic book)


Atlas Comics published the short-lived title Captain America #76–78 from May 1954 to September 1954. Atlas came to adopt the name Marvel Comics in 1961. During the Marvel era, Captain America was starring in the title Tales of Suspense, which was retitled Captain America with issue #100 (April 1968). The new title Captain America continued to feature artwork by Jack Kirby, as well as a short run by Jim Steranko, and work by many of the industry's top artists and writers. It was called Captain America and the Falcon from #134 (Feb. 1971) to #222 (June 1978), although the Falcon's name was not on the cover for issues #193, 200, and 216. The 1972–1975 run on the title by writer Steve Englehart and artist Sal Buscema saw the series become one of Marvel's top-sellers. In 2010, Comics Bulletin ranked Englehart and Buscema's run on Captain America fourth on its list of the "Top 10 1970s Marvels". Kirby returned to the series as writer and penciler with issue #193 (Jan. 1975) and remained through #214 (Oct. 1977).

Captain America (comic book)


This series – considered Captain America volume one by comics researchers and historians – ended with #454 (Aug. 1996). Captain America Vol. 1 should not be confused with the 1940s series Captain America Comics (1941–1949, 1954) and Captain America's Weird Tales (1949–1950).

Captain America (comic book)


This series was almost immediately followed by the 13-issue Captain America vol. 2 (Nov. 1996 – Nov. 1997, part of the "Heroes Reborn" crossover), the 50-issue Captain America vol. 3 (Jan. 1998 – Feb. 2002), the 32-issue Captain America vol. 4 (June 2002 – Dec. 2004), and Captain America vol. 5 (Jan. 2005 – Aug. 2011). Beginning with the 600th overall issue (Aug. 2009), Captain America resumed its original numbering, as if the series numbering had continued uninterrupted after #454.

Captain America (comic book)


As part of the aftermath of Marvel Comics' company-crossover storyline "Civil War", Steve Rogers was ostensibly killed in Captain America vol. 5, #25 (March 2007). Series writer Ed Brubaker remarked, "What I found is that all the really hard-core left-wing fans want Cap to be standing out on and giving speeches on the street corner against the George W. Bush administration, and all the really right-wing fans all want him to be over in the streets of Baghdad, punching out Saddam Hussein." The character's co-creator, Joe Simon, said, "It's a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now." Artist Alex Ross designed a slightly revised Captain America costume that former sidekick Bucky Barnes began to wear as the new Captain America in vol. 5, #34 (March 2008). As of 2007, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books had been sold in 75 countries.

Captain America (comic book)


The storyline of Rogers' return began in issue #600.

Captain America (comic book)


Marvel stated in May 2011 that Rogers, following the public death of Bucky Barnes in the "Fear Itself" crossover, would resume his Captain America identity in a sixth volume of Captain America, by writer Ed Brubaker and artist Steve McNiven. The Captain America title continued from issue #620 featuring team up stories with Bucky (#620-#628), Hawkeye (#629-#632), Iron Man (#633–635), Namor (#635.1), and Black Widow (#636-#640), and the title ended its print run with issue #640.

Captain America (comic book)


In February 2025, it was announced that Chip Zdarsky would be writing a new volume of Captain America for Marvel. The opening arc of the series will follow Steve shortly after he is freed from the ice and tells the untold first encounter between him and Doctor Doom. Valerio Schiti will serve as the main artist for the book, with the first issue set to debut in July 2025.

Eugène Fredrik Jansson (18 March 1862, Stockholm – 15 June 1915, Nacka) was a Swedish painter known for his night-time land- and cityscapes dominated by shades of blue. Towards the end of his life, from about 1904, he mainly painted male nudes. The earlier of these phases has caused him to sometimes be referred to as blåmålaren, "the blue-painter".

Eugène Jansson


Queer commentators have described Jansson as Sweden's first gay artist, a reputation based primarily on his male nudes.

Eugène Jansson


Jansson's parents, Eugenia and Frederik, belonged to a social stratum straddling the working and the lower middle class, but they were interested in art and music and ambitious for their two sons, Eugène and his younger brother Adrian. His father was a postal messenger, and a skilled amateur flautist, while his wife had aspired to be a professional singer and painted still lifes for her own enjoyment. Eugène went to the German School in Stockholm and took piano lessons. After a retinal detachment and diagnosis of a severe congenital heart conditioner, an attack of scarlet fever at the age of fourteen caused him health issues from which he suffered for the rest of his life, including bad eyesight and hearing and chronic kidney problems.

Eugène Jansson


Jansson enrolled in the Tekniska skolan (now Konstfack) in 1878 and studied with Edvard Perséus, a painter who ran a private art school in Stockholm. He was accepted into the Antique school of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1881, but did not have the means to follow most of his contemporaries to Paris for further studies. Remaining in Stockholm, which supplied him most of his motifs, his first trip outside the Nordic countries would come in 1900, when he had already become well-established as a painter and his economic situation had started to improve. In his youth, he assisted Perséus in his portrait production and painted some still lifes, but he eventually found his favourite motifs in the city surrounding him. Perséus was a leader in the Oppenenterna, a group of radical artists who wished to revolutionized cultural life in Sweden, and Jansson, a committed socialist, participated in the movement. He was also a founding memory of the Artists' Union in 1886 which intended to provide an alternative to the Academy and develop artists. He had many friends through his artist groups, including Perséus and Karl Nördstrom.

Eugène Jansson


After the death of Perséus in 1890, Jansson depended on financial support from his father, but Frederik died of pleurisy in 1891 and Jansson became head of household. He moved with his mother and brother at Södermalm, the economically-depressed southern part of Stockholm. They eventually settled in a flat at No. 40 Bastugatan, on a height with a view over most of central Stockholm including the Riddarfjärden bay and the Old town. Most of his paintings from the 1890s up to 1904 are night views over Riddarfjärden, as he would have seen it from his home, or street views from various parts of Södermalm. They are dominated by shades of blue and very visible brush strokes, often crossing one another. Over the years his paintings moved towards increasing simplification and abstraction, and at the end of his "blue" period, little more than the street lights and their reflections in the waters can be discerned from the mass of blue of the canvas. During this time, he was heavily influenced by Edward Munch, James McNeill Whistler, and Vincent van Gogh, who was promoted by Swedish artist Nils Kreuger. His art reflected recent industrial and technological developments and their impact on the urban environment around him in Stockholm.

Eugène Jansson


In 1898, upon the recommendation of Nördstrom, Ernest Thiel, a wealthy banker, visited Jansson's studio and bought three paintings. Thiel purchased many more of Jansson's paintings and became the owner of the largest single collection of Jansson's work, on display at the Thielska Galleriet which was built on his estate and donated to the city of Stockholm. Thiel's patronage improved Jansson's economic standing, and many other collectors began to purchase Jansson's cittyscapes.

After 1904, when he had already achieved success with his Stockholm views, Jansson confessed to a friend that he felt absolutely exhausted and had no more wish to continue with what he had done until then. He stopped participating in exhibitions for several years and went over to figure painting around 1907. To combat the health issues he had suffered from since childhood, he became a diligent swimmer and winter bather, often visiting the navy bathhouse (Flottans badhus), where he found the new subjects for his paintings. He painted groups of sunbathing sailors, and young muscular nude men lifting weights or doing other physical exercises. He painted Naken yngling (Naked Young Man ) in 1907 of his close companion Knut Hyman, a friend he had met at the naval bathhouse, and the two men shared a home in Jansson's studio until around 1912.

Eugène Jansson


Art historians and critics have long avoided the issue of any possible homoerotic tendencies in this later phase of his art, but later studies (see Brummer 1999) have established that Jansson was in all probability homosexual and appears to have had a relationship with at least one of his models. His brother, Adrian Jansson, who was himself homosexual and survived Eugène by many years, burnt all his letters and many other papers, possibly to avoid scandal (homosexuality was illegal in Sweden until 1944). Eugène died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1915.

A bloodless coup d'état ousted King Idris I of Libya and replaced it with a 12-member group of young officers who formed the Revolutionary Command Council that implemented an end to the traditional rule of older families; soon, the leader of the Council would be identified as a 27-year-old Libyan Army colonel, Muammar Gaddafi. The king had traveled out of the country to Turkey for medical treatment. King Idris's nephew, Crown Prince Hassan el-Rida, appeared on a radio broadcast that evening to announce his "voluntary abdication" from serving as the "acting monarch" during Idris's absence, and called on Libyan citizens to support the new government. The coup's leader was initially identified as Colonel Saad Eddine Abbou Chouireb, declared the end of the monarchy and the creation of the Libyan Revolutionary Command Council to rule the new republic. Gaddafi, one of the council members, would be the President of the Islamic Republic of Libya until his own overthrow and death in 2011.

The first successful communication from one computer to another by Interface Message Processor (IMP) took place at UCLA, the University of California in Los Angeles, three days after the delivery of the first IMP to the university's computer building. The software programming written by a team of engineers led by Leonard Kleinrock, accommodated the packet switching technology of the IMP which was linked to UCLA's mainframe computer by telephone line and "the two machines began talking to each other" in an intramural dialogue, opening the way for a computer in one location to transmit data directly to any other computer in the world with an IMP. The next step would be on October 1 with the installation of an IMP at the Stanford Research Institute.

He was quoted in the interview as saying that he looked forward to resuming his duties as soon as he could "gather enough strength"; his housekeeper told the interviewer that the former dictator remained unaware.

Allegheny Airlines Flight 853 collided in flight with a small Piper PA-28 airplane, killing the 82 passengers and crew on the DC-9 jet airliner and the private plane pilot. Flight 853 was approaching Indianapolis from Cincinnati, on a multi-stop flight that had started in Boston and had a final destination of St. Louis. Robert W. Carey, a student pilot, had taken off from McCordsville, Indiana on a short flight to Columbus; he was killed after the Piper struck the DC-9's tail. Wreckage of the DC-9 and the bodies of persons on board were thrown by the impact across a wide area near Fairland, Indiana, including the nearby Shady Acres Trailer Court with 82 mobile homes, but none of the onlookers were injured. Among the factors in the collision were that the Piper hadn't shown up on the radarscope when the Indianapolis controllers who had cleared the airliner for its descent to 2,500 feet (760 m) into the path of the Piper which had been at 3,550 feet (1,080 m).

One month after troops from the Soviet Union and China had fought battles over a border dispute, Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin made a surprise visit to Beijing where he conferred at the airport with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. Kosygin, who was on his way back from Hanoi following the funeral of North Vietnam's President Ho Chi Minh, had what the Soviets described as "a conversation useful for both sides" before flying on to Moscow. The lack of details from either government led observers to conclude that the brief meeting during Kosygin's stopover would have accomplished little. The meeting was the first between Soviet and Chinese leaders since 1965.

The iconic cartoon dog, Scooby-Doo, was introduced to Saturday morning television as part of a response by the three American TV networks to complaints that cartoons had become too violent, after three years of superhero and adventure shows. Hanna-Barbera co-producer Joseph Barbera told reporters that "Violence will be out of children's programming this fall," and explained that "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is a series about a chicken-hearted Great Dane which, along with four high school students, solves tales of the supernatural," and predicted that the combination of "comedy and music, which we've always known to be popular with kids" could be marketed successfully.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted, 339 to 70, to approve a proposed 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution that, if approved by two-thirds of the U.S. Senate and then ratified by 38 of the 50 state legislatures of the United States, would abolish the United States Electoral College and would allow the President of the United States to be elected directly by the voters. Under the proposal, the candidate with the highest number of votes would win the presidency provided that he or she had received at least 40% of the votes cast. If no candidate received 40% of the votes, then a runoff election would be held between the two candidates who had the highest and second highest number. While the U.S. Senate appeared to be in favor, and U.S. President Nixon had announced his support for the bill, a filibuster against the bill was made by Democrat Senator Sam Ervin (who would later gain fame as chairman of the Watergate Hearings in 1973) of South Carolina. Votes for cloture to end the filibuster fell short of the required two-thirds majority, with the final vote for cloture being 53 in favor, 34 against on September 29, after which the Senate abandoned the legislation.

Mexicana Airlines Flight 801 from Chicago lost power as it was approaching Mexico City, killing 22 of the 111 passengers, and all but two of the seven crew. The death toll was held down by ground conditions, because the Boeing 727 reportedly impacted on "a swampy cushion of mud and water", and many of the passengers in the rear of the plane were thrown free from the fuselage into shallow mud. An investigation would note later that the cause could not be determined in that "No data could be retrieved from the Flight Data Recorder because it had been incorrectly installed two days prior to the accident. The Cockpit Voice Recorder had been removed and no replacement had been installed."

The Brady Bunch, a situation comedy about a "blended family" created by the union of two people with children from previous marriages, was introduced as one of the new television shows on the ABC network in the United States. Syndicated TV columnist Dick Kleiner described it as having "all the elements of trite-and-true television— a bunch of children (cute) and two parents (appealing) and a dog (lovable) and a maid (witty)" and added that "It all sounds as new and different as this year's model of soap." The San Francisco Examiner commented "the six kids and a dog and a cat, and a maid, and absurd slapstick... made the first show a shambles. Verdict: Too blamed precious."

The Pine Grove Cemetery, also known as the First Meetinghouse Burying Ground, is an historic cemetery on Tremaine and Main Streets in Leominster, Massachusetts.  Established in 1742, it is the city's oldest cemetery, and the principal surviving element of the town's early settlement.  It was originally located adjacent to the community's first meeting house, built in 1741 and dismantled in 1774.  The cemetery, closed to burials since 1937, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 12, 2008.

Pine Grove Cemetery (Leominster, Massachusetts)


Description and history


Leominster was settled in the early 18th century as part of Lancaster, and was separately incorporated in 1740.  Its first colonial meeting house was built in 1741, and the cemetery was laid out the following year.  The meeting house was torn down in 1774, after a new one was built near the modern city center.  The cemetery was enlarged in 1776, and again in the 1820s to reach its present size of three acres (1.2 ha).  It was the city's only cemetery until 1840, when Evergreen Cemetery was opened to its northeast.  It is the resting place for most of Leominster's early settlers, and for many of its 18th and 19th century political and business leaders.


The cemetery is located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) northeast of downtown Leominster, east of Main Street and south of Tremaine Street.  It is roughly rectangular in shape, and is generally level, with a steep rise only near its northern entrance.  There are entrances (none accessible to public vehicles) on the north, south, and west sides.  The western (Main Street) entrance is for pedestrians only, while the other two have normally locked wrought iron gates.  Vehicular circulation is by two grassy (formerly cobbled) roads that run roughly north–south, one of them connecting the north and south gates.  Burials in the cemetery, in addition to early settlers and business leaders, include a number of American Revolutionary War veterans.

The Python is a small- production run sports car modeled closely after a prototype designed by Ford in the mid-1960s when Ford's Vice President of Design, Eugene 'Gene' Bordinat (pronounced Bor-din-ay), designed a new body for Carroll Shelby to use as a replacement for the AC Cobra.

Python (Ford prototype)


Bordinat and  McKinley Thompson, the first major African-American car designer at Ford, designed a potential successor in coupe and convertible body styles, both using a new plastic called Royalex, produced by United States Rubber Company, later known as Uniroyal.

Python (Ford prototype)


By 1965, Ford was presenting the two-seater formally as the Bordinat Cobra, in honor of Eugene Bordinat.

Python (Ford prototype)


Shelby and Ford subsequently parted ways, and the project was scrapped along with the use of the new plastic.

Python (Ford prototype)


Later in 1981, Alvin Kelly, who felt the need for a "pure, open air sports car", found one of the original Royalex Bordinat Cobra bodies and, with the approval of Gene Bordinat and help of McKinley Thompson (consultant for Alvin Kelly), built four prototypes for this Python design. Alvin Kelly took the mold to Southern California, where the fourth prototype was perfected and put into production.

Python (Ford prototype)


The Python was built using a reinforced Mustang frame that has a shortened wheel base in order to achieve 55:45 front:rear weight ratio. Because Alvin Kelly was going to market these cars through Ford dealers, the cars came equipped with standard Mustang equipment with the option of having any upgrades Ford offered for their Mustangs at that time. Consumers were also given the option of upgrading to a wooden dash and console.

Python (Ford prototype)


Alvin Kelly moved his company to Fort Collins, Colorado shortly before production began. Although it is unknown how many cars were built in Southern California and how many were built in Fort Collins, Colorado, it is known that there were about 12 cars built before the company went under.

Python (Ford prototype)


Kelly's Python was intended to reflect the old time style of the Bordinat Cobra while still incorporating a modern feel.  Seven examples have been identified.

Rajahmundry ( RAH-juh-mun-dree), officially Rajamahendravaram (the city of King Mahendra), is a city in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and the district headquarters of the East Godavari district. It is the fifth most populated city in the state.

Rajahmundry


During British Rule, the district of Rajahmundry was created in the Madras Presidency in 1823. It was reorganised in 1859 and divided into the Godavari and Krishna districts. Rajahmundry was the headquarters of the Godavari district, which was further divided into East Godavari and West Godavari districts in 1925. It is administered under the Rajahmundry revenue division of the East Godavari district.

Rajahmundry


The city's name was derived from Rajaraja Narendra, a ruler of the Chalukya dynasty in the 11th century, who ruled over the city. In 2015, the city was renamed from Rajahmundry to Rajamahendravaram.

Rajahmundry


The city is known for its floriculture, history, Telugu literature, culture, agriculture, economy, tourism, and heritage. It is known as the "Cultural Capital of Andhra Pradesh".

Rajahmundry


The city was earlier called Rajamahendravaram, derived from the Sanskrit name Rajamahendrapuram (The city of King Mahendra). Carrying the same meaning, it is also referred to as Rajamahendri. During the Qutb Shahi, Mughal, and Nizam rules, it was referred to in official records as Rājmandrī and the same name was anglicized during the British colonial era as Rajahmundry. On 10 October 2015, the State Government of Andhra Pradesh officially renamed the city back to its original name Rajamahendravaram.

Rajahmundry


Rajahmundry was established by Ammaraja Vishnuvardhana the First (919–934 AD). The city as a prominent settlement can be traced back to the rule of the Eastern Chalukya king Rajaraja Narendra, who reigned around 1022 AD. Remains of 11th-century palaces and forts still exist.

Zhang Song (died January or February 213), courtesy name Ziqiao, was an official and adviser serving under the warlord Liu Zhang during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.

Zhang Song


Zhang Song was born in Shu Commandery (蜀郡), which is in present-day Chengdu, Sichuan. He started his career as an adviser to Liu Zhang, the Governor of Yi Province (益州牧) during the Eastern Han dynasty. His appointment was Aide-de-camp (別駕從事).

Zhang Song


During the late 208, Zhang Song's received his first mission when Liu Zhang sent him after his brother Zhang Su (張肅), as emissary to Cao Cao. Around this time, Cao Cao recently conquered the majority of Jing Province and drove off Liu Bei at the battle of Changban. Therefore, he didn't care for Zhang Song which greatly angered him. The Han Jin Chunqiu (漢晉春秋) further described this, that when they met, Cao Cao was condescending towards Zhang Song and didn't show any interest in him. When he returned Zhang Song advised Liu Zhang to break his relation with Cao Cao.

Following this, Cao Cao lost the battle of Chibi with many of his soldiers dying from disease. As for Zhang Song, he harshly criticized Cao Cao, urging Liu Zhang to sever his relation with him. At the same time, he encouraged Liu Zhang to establish friendly relation with Liu Bei, advocating that they were from the same clan. Liu Zhang agreed to his proposal and sent Fa Zheng to begin exchanges with Liu Bei. Liu Zhang also ordered Fa Zheng, along with Meng Da to lead several thousand soldiers to help Liu Bei in his defence of Jing. Fa Zheng afterwards was called back.

Around 211, when Liu Zhang received news that Cao Cao, was planning to attack Zhang Lu, another warlord in the neighbouring Hanzhong Commandery, he became fearful that Cao Cao would attack Yi Province after defeating Zhang Lu. Zhang Song reassured Liu Zhang and advised him to invite Liu Bei to lead his troops into Yi to help him in the subjugation of Zhang Lu. Zhang Song told him: "Cao Cao's armies are strong and without a match in the empire. If he was able to use Zhang Lu's grain stores then launch an invasion of Yi province, who could stop him?" Liu Zhang answered that he was worried but without a plan. Zhang Song answered: "Liu Bei is of the same clan as you and he is an unstoppable rival of Cao Cao. He commands troops with talent. If we use him to conquer Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu would surely be defeated. With Zhang Lu vanquished, Yi province would be safe and even if Cao Cao were to come, he would be defeated."

Thereafter, Zhang Song again pressed Liu Zhang :“In the whole province, Pang Xi,  Li Yi (李異) and other officials act in arrogant and superior ways because of their achievements. Soon they will have more ambition than they should. If you don't obtain the support of Liu Bei then we risk to be surrounded by enemies from outside and traitors from inside. Then the situation would be really desperate.”

Zhang Song


Liu Zhang heeded Zhang Song's advice and ordered his subordinate Fa Zheng to lead 4,000 men to welcome Liu Bei into Yi Province. In addition, he presented Liu Bei with several precious gifts. Huang Quan opposed the decision while his attendant Wang Lei (王累), from Guanghan (廣漢) hanged himself at the city gate in protest. Liu Zhang didn't listen to any of them, even ordered the different places to supply Liu Bei's army.

Zhang Song


Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, had long privately disapproved of Liu Zhang's governance and looked at Liu Bei as a solution for a legitimate successor. Previously, when Liu Bei met them. He welcomed them warmly and treated them with kindness. He also used this opportunity to learn more crucial information about Yi Province such as the geography, supplies and deployment of military forces. Zhang Song even drew a map of Yi Province and gave it to Liu Bei. As time passed, Zhang Song conceived the idea of betraying Liu Zhang and helping Liu Bei seize control of Yi Province from Liu Zhang, so he contacted Fa Zheng, who agreed to join him. With their help, Liu Bei learned all about Yi province. Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to join him in Yi Province to capture Hanzhong Commandery before Cao Cao did.
