Teddy Roosevelt Winston Churchill Harry S. Truman Nelson Mandela Teddy Roosevelt 24 minutes ago, dgrimm60 said: TEDDY ROOSVELT Answer: On September 2, 1901, at the Minnesota State Fair, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt first used in a public speech a saying that would later be universally associated with him: "Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far." This famous line emphasized his policy towards foreign affairs. It is still quoted by politicians and columnists in different countries—not only in English but also in translation to various other languages. Roosevelt attributed the term as "a West African proverb", and was seen at the time as evidence of Roosevelt’s "prolific" reading habits.

Marcie Franklin Violet Gray Frieda Franklin of course!! 28 minutes ago, dgrimm60 said: FRANKLIN Answer: Franklin Armstrong was the first African American character in the long-running comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz. The young Franklin joined the iconic line-up on July 31, 1968 during a summer of race riots and civil unrest in the wake of King's assassination on April 4 that year. It also might not have happened were it not for a Los Angeles teacher named Harriet Glickman who wrote to Schulz urging him to introduce a black character into Peanuts. This began a correspondence between Schulz and Glickman that led to Schulz's creation of Franklin.

Grace Kelly Elizabeth Taylor Lucille Ball Katharine Hepburn PHKRAUSE my guess would be GRACE KELLY dgrimm60 Answer: American actress Grace Kelly starred in such movies as “Dial M for Murder” and “The Country Girl”, before leaving Hollywood to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco, thereby becoming known as Princess Grace. In 1993, Princess Grace became the first U.S. actress to appear on a U.S. postage stamp. The United States and Monaco simultaneously released a commemorative postage stamp honoring her. However, federal law forbids postage stamps depicting foreign heads of state, so the U.S. stamp listed her as "Grace Kelly", while the Monaco stamp listed her as "Princess Grace".

With the passing of the gavel, she became the first woman to hold the speaker of the House position, as well as the only woman to get that close the presidency. “It is an historic moment for the Congress, and a historic moment for the women of this country. It is a moment for which we have waited over 200 years,” Pelosi said after receiving the gavel. Nancy Pelosi reclaimed the House speakership yesterday, becoming the first politician in 58 years to take back the gavel.

Oliver! became the first—and so far, the only G-rated film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Oliver! would also be the last British film to win Best Picture until Chariots of Fire in 1982 and the last movie musical to win until Chicago in 2003. The year was also notable for the first—and so far, only—tie for Best Actress. Katharine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter and Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl shared the award.

It is based on observation rather than accurate measurement. It is the most widely used system to measure wind speed today. The scale was developed in 1805 by Francis Beaufort, an officer of the Royal Navy and first officially used by HMS Beagle. There are twelve levels, plus 0 for "no wind". From 1946 to 1970, there were also Beaufort levels 13 to 17. All of them were labelled as Hurricane. Because they were only used in special cases, they are no longer in use internationally.

Dan Quale Tony Hawk Florence Nightingale Larry Bird 18 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: TONY HAWK Answer: The official name of Twitter's bird is Larry. Yes, his name is Larry Bird. The iconic little fellow—seen in Twitter's logo shown in TV commercials, print ads and practically every web site—was named after Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird. Larry Bird has been described as one of the greatest basketball players and greatest shooters of all time. Bird won three MVP awards and three NBA championships during his 13-year career with the Boston Celtics. So why choose to name the logo after a basketball player from Boston? It may have to do with Twitter co-founder Biz Stone growing up in the Greater Boston area.

New Mexico Idaho Utah Wyoming New Mexico 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: NEW MEXICO Answer: On January 6, 1912, New Mexico was admitted into the United States as the 47th state. The Land of Enchantment is the official nickname of New Mexico, coined to describe the majestic and inspiring scenery and the incredible culture and history of the state. In 1935, New Mexico’s Tourist Bureau described the state as “the Land of Enchantment” in one of its brochures in an effort to attract visitors to the area. In 1941, the legend was added to license plates and came into common usage soon thereafter. “The Land of Enchantment” was officially adopted as the state nickname in 1999.
