Lloyd Millard Bentsen Jr. was an American politician, a four-term United States Senator from Texas and the Democratic Party nominee for vice president in 1988 on the Michael Dukakis ticket. He served as the 69th United States Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton. Born in Mission, Bentsen graduated from the University of Texas School of Law before serving in the Air Force during World War II, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service in Europe. After the war, he won election to the United States House of Representatives, serving from 1948 to 1955, he defeated incumbent Senator Ralph Yarborough in the 1970 Democratic Senatorial primary and won the general election against George H. W. Bush, he was reelected in 1976, 1982, 1988, served as the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee from 1987 to 1993. In the Senate, he helped win passage of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and played a role in the creation of the individual retirement account. Bentsen sought the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination but was unable to organize an effective national campaign.

Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis chose Bentsen as his running mate in the 1988 presidential election, while the Republicans nominated Vice President George H. W. Bush and Senator Dan Quayle. During the 1988 vice-presidential debate, Quayle responded to a question about his inexperience by comparing his time in office up to that point to that of John F. Kennedy, causing Bentsen to castigate Quayle, saying, "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." Though Dukakis hoped that the selection of Bentsen would help the Democratic ticket win Texas, the Republican ticket won the state and prevailed by a wide margin in the nationwide electoral and popular vote. Bentsen considered running for president in 1992 but chose not to challenge Bush, popular after the Gulf War. After Bill Clinton defeated Bush in the 1992 general election, he offered Bentsen the position of Secretary of the Treasury. Bentsen accepted, as Treasury Secretary he helped win the ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the passage of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.

Bentsen was succeeded by Robert Rubin. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999 and died in his home in Houston in 2006.

B. degree in 1942 and was admitted to the bar, but soon afterwards joined the military for World War II. After brief service as a private in intelligence work in Brazil, he trained to be a pilot and in early 1944 began flying combat missions in B-24s from Foggia, with the 449th Bomb Group. At age 23, he was promoted to major and given command of a squadron of 600 men, overseeing the operations of 15 bombers, their crews, their maintenance units, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel before being discharged in 1947.

Bentsen flew thirty-five missions against many defended targets, including the Ploiești oil fields in Romania, which were critical to the Nazi war production.

He served the people of his home area from 1946 to 1955, first as Hidalgo County Judge. First elected in the Truman landslide of 1948, he served three successive terms in the United States House of Representatives. With the South, including Texas, still home to Yellow dog Democrats, winning the Democratic nomination was tantamount to election, Bentsen was unopposed by Republicans in each of his three House campaigns, he became a protégé of Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn and developed a reputation as an excellent poker player. Bentsen upset incumbent Ralph Yarborough, a liberal icon, in a bruising primary campaign for the 1970 Texas Democratic Senatorial nomination; the campaign came in the wake of Yarborough's politically hazardous votes in favor of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and his opposition to the Vietnam War. Bentsen made Yarborough's opposition to the war a major issue, his tel

Uzon is a 9 by 12 km volcanic caldera located in the eastern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Together with the Geyzernaya caldera it hosts the largest geothermal field in the Kamchatka Peninsula; the calderas were formed in the mid-Pleistocene in several large eruptions that deposited 20–25 km3 of ignimbrite over a wide area. Lake Dalny fills a Holocene maar in the northeast of Uzon Caldera; the Uzon Caldera is a location of the occurrence of extremophile micro-organisms due to its high localized temperatures.

Woodcutters is a novel by Thomas Bernhard published in German in 1984. An English translation by Ewald Osers was published in 1985 under the title Cutting Timber: An Irritation. Second in a trilogy covering the Arts, this one relates to the theatre and created quite an uproar in Austria, where it was banned as some Viennese personalities recognised themselves in the story. Nonetheless, it still sold well in its own country and became a bestseller abroad. In his Western Canon of 1994, American literary critic Harold Bloom lists Woodcutters as Bernhard’s masterpiece. It’s eleven thirty at night in an elegant Viennese home in the 80s. A group of people are awaiting – with some impatience and increasing appetite – the arrival of a famous dramatic actor, guest of honour, in order to start eating the sophisticated dinner, in fact the "artistic dinner", as the hosts love to state; the place is that of the Auersbergers, a married couple whom the narrator hasn’t seen for twenty years: she’s a singer, he’s a "composer in the wake of Webern", both "idiosyncratically consumed".

The play just performed by the awaited actor is one of Ibsen’s: The Wild Duck at the Burgtheater. The whole novel is an account of what the narrator sees and hears while sitting on a chair with a glass of champagne in hand and, subsequently, at the table during dinner. Bernhard devastates with the axe of his prose the world of pretension and intellectual inconsistency, not only related to a certain Viennese scene, but to all that surrounds us: he’s implacable, ferociously comic, inexhaustible in the variations and returns to theme; the scene develops and the "artistic dinner" unravels in all its hypocritical farce, whilst the narrator relives the last two decades, his connections and affective ties with the various guests, his relationship with the woman who united in friendship all of them and committed suicide. In closing, the novel reaches momentum through the actor’s indignant outburst against one of the guests, offensive to him and malignant to all the whole night, he becomes sad and reflective and allows, in a maudlin and romanticized scene, that he believes he would have been better off to have lived a rural life and to have been a woodcutter.

The marvellous play on the word which allows both the romanticism of this world of the native savage, yet refers to the super sophisticated and bitter criticism of the social cynic is a stroke of Bernhardian genius. When the elderly actor is so wounded by Billroth, the narrator turns from derogatory to sympathetic, shifts his view of the Burgtheater actor and the Burgtheater into praising; the most revealing lines of the novel are about Bernhard and are the last two sentences of the text, which tell us just what he does when his inner sensibilities so overwhelm him that he cannot stand it any longer: "And as I went on running I thought: I'll write something at once, no matter what -- I'll write about this artistic dinner in the Gentzgasse at once, now. Now, I thought -- at once, I told myself over and over again as I ran through the Inner City -- at once, I told myself, now -- at once, at once, before it's too late." Book's Epigraph Being unable to make people more reasonable, I preferred to be happy away from them.
