Karl of Austria - Ludwig Hubert Georg Maria von Habsburg (August 17, 1887 - April 1, 1922) was the last Emperor of Austria and the last King of Hungary (as Charles IV of Hungary) and of the Habsburg Dynasty. He reigned from 1916 until his abdication on November 11, 1918. He sought to reclaim the throne of Hungary in the early 1920s. Karl has generally been seen by historians as an honourable figure who tried as emperor-king to halt World War I. On 14 April 2003 the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints, in the presence of Pope John Paul II, promulgated Karl of Austria's "heroic virtues", a step on the road to sainthood in Roman Catholicism. Karl was the son of Archduke Otto Franz Joseph, younger brother of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand (whose.

In May 26 1828 a young boy appeared in the streets of Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany. He was wearing peasant clothing and could barely talk.

Shoemaker Weissman took the boy to the house of captain Wessenig where he could only repeat, "I want to be a rider like my father." Further demands resulted only in tears. He was taken to a police station where he would only write a name: Kaspar Hauser..

Karl-Maria Kertbeny - Hungarian name with aristocratic associations. He settled in Berlin in 1868, still unmarried at 44. He claimed in his writings to be "normally sexed," and there is no direct evidence to contradict this, despite the scepticism of subsequent writers. Nevertheless, from this time he began to write extensively on the issue of homosexuality, motivated, he said, by an "anthropological interest" combined with a sense of justice and a concern for the "rights of man." In 1869, he anonymously published a pamphlet entitled Paragraph 143 of the Prussian Penal Code of 14 April 1851 and Its Reaffirmation as Paragraph 152 in the Proposed Penal Code for the Nordeutscher Bund.

Ken Livingstone - the voter turnout was far smaller than Livingstone had hoped for. On December 15 1984, the House of Commons passed the Local Government Act of 1985 by a relatively slim twenty-three vote margin. The GLC was formally abolished at midnight on March 31 1986. Livingstone in Parliament Livingstone again stood for Parliament in the 1987 general election, winning a seat in the Northwest London constituency of Brent East. As a mere Labour backbencher, Livingstone lost the public platform he possessed as head of the GLC; furthermore, his brand of radical socialism was increasingly out of step with the Labour leadership, which had moved sharply towards the centre under the chairmanship of Neil Kinnock and now blamed leftists like Livingstone for Labour's "unelectability." Nevertheless, he was elected to the party's National Executive.
Veto - of the legislation being assented to. In the United States, the President is able to veto legislation passed by the Congress, but this right is not absolute. A 2/3 majority of both houses can adopt a law even against a presidential veto; however, if the proposed law has only a simple majority, the president's veto is decisive. The veto power in the United States Constitution was derived from the British royal assent. On April 5, 1792 President George Washington vetoed a bill designed to apportion representatives among statess. This is the first time the presidential veto was used in the United States. The US Congress first overrode a presidential veto on March 3, 1845. In the UN Security Council, the five permanent members (the United States, Russia, People's Republic of China,.
