Just So Stories - Just So Stories The Just So Stories for Little Children were written by British author Rudyard Kipling. They are among his best known, and arguably best, works. The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. A forerunner of these stories is "How Fear Came" in The Second Jungle Book (1895), in which Mowgli hears the story of how the tiger got his stripes. The original editions of Just So Stories were illustrated with woodcuts by Kipling himself, though later editions have included illustrations by other artists. Each story is accompanied by a poem, in a somewhat ballad style. Many of the stories are addressed to "Best Beloved" (they were first written for Kipling's daughter), and throughout they use a comically.

Vernor Vinge - that exponential growth in technology will reach a point beyond which we cannot even speculate about the consequences. Vinge published his first short story, "Bookworm, Run!", in 1965 in Analog Science Fiction, then edited by John W. Campbell. He was then a moderately prolific contributor to SF magazines in the 1960s and early 1970s, including adapting two of his stories into a short novel, Grimm's World (1969), and publishing a second novel, The Witling (1975). Vinge came to prominence in 1981 with his novella "True Names", which is one of the earliest stories to present a fully fleshed-out concept of cyberspace, which would later be central to stories by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and others (and particularly to the cyberpunk genre). His next two novels, The Peace War (1984) and Marooned.
Karl Friedrich Bahrdt - school was closed. At the invitation of the count of Leiningen-Dachsburg, Bahrdt now went as general superintendent to Durkheim on the Hardt; his luckless translation of the Testament, however, pursued him, and in 1778 he was suspended by a decision of the high court of the Empire. In dire poverty he fled, in 1779, to Halle, where in spite of the opposition of the senate and the theologians, he obtained through the interest of the Prussian minister, von Zedlitz, permission to lecture on subjects other than theology. Forced to earn a living by writing, he developed an astounding literary activity. His orthodoxy had now quite gone by the board, and all his efforts were directed to the propaganda of a "moral system" which should replace supernatural Christianity. By such means Bahrdt.

Kansas City Star - the paper's hatred. The Star was so strong for the Republicans that the news of its first Pulitzer Prize in 1947 was given only four paragraphs. The prize-winning stories revealed the Republican National Chairman as a crook. The paper won three more Pulitzer Prizes in the 1980s under Publisher James E. Hale. A young Ernest Hemingway was a reporter for the Star from October, 1916 to April 1917. Though his time on the paper was brief, Hemingway credited Star editor, C.G. "Pete" Wellington, with changing a wordy high-schooler's writing style into clear, provocative English. Throughout his lifetime he referred to this admonition from the Star's style guide: "Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs. Use vigorous English. Be positive, not negative." The paper sponsors a contest for high-school journalists to this.

Ken Kesey - a cross-country trip in a school bus nicknamed Further. This trip, described in Tom Wolfe's book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (and later in Kesey's own screenplay "The Further Inquiry") included many stops along the way for audience-participation acid tests, now including raps by Cassady. In New York, Cassady introduced Kesey to Kerouac and to Allen Ginsberg, who in turn introduced them to Timothy Leary. Kesey and some of the pranksters fled to Mexico when LSD was made illegal, renaming their bus Furthur in an intentionally feeble attempt at disguise. When the bus returned to the U.S. for an Acid Test Graduation, Kesey and some of his companions were arrested for possession of marijuana. After his release from jail, he moved with his family back to the family farm in Pleasant.

The course of his trial and punishment became a cause celebre amongst the hacker community. This movement was spearheaded by 2600's "Free Kevin" campaign. He was released from prison.
