He visited Saigon and Hanoi in French Indochina . On his return to the United States at the end of 1953 , Nixon increased the amount of time he devoted to foreign relations . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4506 | In the middle of December , the ITCZ was active across the southern Indian Ocean , northeast of Madagascar . A circulation developed on December 16 , which preceded the development of a tropical disturbance on December 17 . Moving to the west @-@ northwest , the system slowly developed before shifting to the southwest . On December 19 , the system intensified into a moderate tropical storm while passing 75 km ( 45 mi ) north of Madagascar . After briefly developing an eye feature , the satellite presentation degraded due to land interaction . Convection increased as the storm progressed through the Mozambique Channel , and the Madagascar Meteorological Service named it Benedicte on December 20 . The organization improved over the next few days as the eye feature became better defined . On December 23 , Benedicte intensified to tropical cyclone status , reaching peak winds of 135 km / h ( 85 mph ) . That day , the storm turned westward toward the Mozambique coast , weakening as it approached land . Benedicte made landfall on central Mozambique on December 24 and turned northward , straddling the border with Malawi . The storm dissipated on the next day , with only a remnant area of clouds present on satellite imagery by December 26 . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-4507 | As Bacon 's work moved from the extreme subject matter of his early paintings to portraits of friends in the mid @-@ 1960s , Dyer became a dominating presence in the artist 's work . Bacon 's treatment of his lover in these canvasses emphasises his subject 's physicality while remaining uncharacteristically tender . More than any other of the artist 's close friends portrayed during this period , Dyer came to feel inseparable from his effigies . The paintings gave him stature , a raison d 'etre , and offered meaning to what Bacon described as Dyer 's " brief interlude between life and death " . Many critics have cited Dyer 's portraits as favourites , including Michel Leiris and Lawrence <unk> . Yet as Dyer 's novelty diminished within Bacon 's circle of sophisticated intellectuals , the younger man became increasingly bitter and ill at ease . Although Dyer welcomed the attention the paintings brought him , he did not pretend to understand or even like them . " All that money an ' I <unk> they 're <unk> ' <unk> " , he observed with choked pride . He abandoned crime but soon descended into alcoholism . Bacon 's money allowed Dyer to attract hangers @-@ on who would accompany him on massive benders around London 's Soho . Withdrawn and reserved when sober , Dyer was <unk> when drunk , and would often attempt to " pull a Bacon " by buying large rounds and paying for expensive dinners for his wide circle . Dyer 's erratic behaviour inevitably wore thin — with his cronies , with Bacon , and with Bacon 's friends . Most of Bacon 's art world associates regarded Dyer as a nuisance — an intrusion into the world of high culture to which their Bacon belonged . Dyer reacted by becoming increasingly needy and dependent . By 1971 , he was drinking alone and was only in occasional contact with his former lover . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-4508 | Beatles biographer Peter Doggett suggests that Harrison had intended to make an entire album of devotional songs but , with that not being " an appropriate dish to set before Phil Spector " , Harrison chose to delay starting work on All Things Must Pass and instead continued his activities with the Radha Krishna Temple . It was only after Paul McCartney 's departure from the Beatles , and the band 's break @-@ up , that Harrison finally began sessions for his solo album – in late May 1970 , at Abbey Road Studios in London . Noting Spector 's application of his signature Wall of Sound production on " Awaiting on You All " , Inglis writes that , but for Harrison 's lyrics , the song " could be mistaken for the instrumental track of a song by the Ronettes " , one of Spector 's girl @-@ group protégés during the 1960s . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-4509 | John Eliot Gardiner , who conducted the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage in 2000 , calls Bach 's setting of Luther 's hymn " a bold , innovative piece of musical drama " , observing that Bach was " drawing on medieval musical roots ( the hymn tune derives from the eleventh @-@ century plainsong ' Victimae paschali laudes ' ) " , and noting Bach 's " total identification with the spirit and letter of Luther 's fiery , dramatic hymn " . Bach could follow " Luther 's ideal in which music brings the text to life " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4595 | White Dog 's roots lie with a 1970 autobiographical novel written by Romain Gary of the same name . The story was purchased for use by Paramount in 1975 , with Curtis Hanson selected to write the screenplay and Roman Polanski hired to direct . Before shooting commenced , Polanski was charged with statutory rape and fled the country , leaving the production in limbo . Over a span of six years , the project was given to various writers and producers , who all focused on the stray dog story from Gary 's original work . Gary 's activist wife was replaced in the script with a young , unmarried actress because Paramount wanted to contrast the dog 's random attacks with a loving relationship between the protagonist and the dog . Paramount executives noted that they wanted a " Jaws with paws " and indicated that they wanted any racial elements to be downplayed . In one memo , the company noted : " Given the organic elements of this story , it is imperative that we never overtly address through attitude or statement the issue of racism per se " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4598 | An injury report section is common in the sports sections of American newspapers , detailing injuries for each team and the amount of time each injured player is expected to be out . The injury report was created to prevent gamblers from gaining inside information about injuries from players , and as a result , NFL teams must report on the status of injured players on a set schedule during the season . The standard severity descriptions are " out " ( will not play in the upcoming game ) ; " doubtful " ( 25 % chance of playing ) ; " questionable " ( 50 % chance of playing ) ; or " probable " ( 75 % chance of playing ) . Teams have been known to downplay , exaggerate or overly detail their teams ' injuries in an attempt to confuse or mislead upcoming opponents . Injured players may be placed on one of several injured lists , including the Physically Unable to Perform ( <unk> ) list . If a player is injured in an event outside of a game or team practice , or during collegiate practice prior to being drafted , he is eligible for the <unk> Injury list . Players who have sustained major injuries and are not expected to play for the rest of the season may be placed on the Injured Reserve ( IR ) list . These players do not count towards the teams ' roster limit . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-4599 | Vonnegut believed that ideas , and the convincing communication of those ideas to the reader , were vital to literary art . He did not always sugarcoat his points : much of Player Piano leads up to the moment when Paul , on trial and hooked up to a lie detector , is asked to tell a falsehood , and states , " every new piece of scientific knowledge is a good thing for humanity " . Robert T. Tally Jr . , in his volume on Vonnegut 's novels , wrote , " rather than tearing down and destroying the icons of twentieth @-@ century , middle @-@ class American life , Vonnegut gently reveals their basic <unk> . " Vonnegut did not simply propose utopian solutions to the ills of American society , but showed how such schemes would not allow ordinary people to live lives free from want and anxiety . The large artificial families that the U.S. population is formed into in Slapstick soon serve as an excuse for tribalism , with people giving no help to those not part of their group , and with the extended family 's place in the social hierarchy becoming vital . | wikipedia-2018 |
