Clive Staples Lewis

Watford, Hertfordshire, in 1908, just after his mother's death from cancer. In 1956 he married the American writer Joy Gresham, 17 years his junior, who died four years later of cancer at the age of 45. Lewis died three years after his wife, as the result of renal failure(neeru puudulikkus). His death came one week before his 65th birthday. Media coverage of his death was minimal, as he died on 22 November 1963 ­ the same day that U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated(mõrvatud), and the same day another famous author, Aldous Huxley, died. Lewis's works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies.

Hillary Diane Clinton

No woman has ever been nominated by a major party or President of the United States. In April 2007, the Clintons liquidated a blind trust, that had been established when Bill Clinton became president in 1993, to avoid the possibility ot ethical conflicts or political embarrassments in the trust as Hillary Clinton undertook her presidential race. Clinton's closest competitors were Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina. Following the final primaries on June 2, 2008, Obama gained enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee. In a speech before her supporters on June 7, Clinton ended her campaign and endorsed Obama.
