 * Keep I accept the points made below by Xoloz that 'offensive' 'inflammatory' are not suitable criteria for deletion. After expansion by PatGallacher I have withdrawn my vote on the grounds that it is both encyclopedic and notable despite personal reservations about the article's content. Appologies for the VFD tag, I guess I let me own personal viewpoint get in the way of what is notable and encyclopedic. Hopefully the article will be kept for the sake of WP.

 * Keep Although this is certainly an unsavoury issue, it is encyclopedic. I have expanded the article slightly, I hope those who previously voted for deletion will re-read it.  It is more than just a football chant, it has been widely sung over the decades. PatGallacher 23:53, 2005 July 15 (UTC)

 * Keep It sounds encyclopedic to me, and 15000 Googles hits suggests so. If Forbsey is the nominator, I am not sure he stated a proper ground -- "offensive" and "inflammatory" are not reasons for deletion, and "being deserving" is a somewhat-POV way of calling something non-encyclopedic, if that is what was meant.

Slobodan Jovanović

Slobodan Jovanović (Слободан Јовановић; 3 December 1869 – 12 December 1958) was a Serbian and Yugoslav writer, historian, lawyer, philosopher, literary critic, diplomat, politician and one of the most prominent intellectuals of his time. He was the professor at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law (1897—1940), Rector of the University of Belgrade (1913–14 and 1920–21), and the President of the Serbian Royal Academy (1928–1931). He took part at the Paris Peace Conference (1919) as an expert for the Yugoslav Government.

Jovanović was the Deputy Prime Minister (March 1941 - June 1942) and the Prime Minister of the Royal Yugoslav government-in-exile in London between January 1942 and June 1943. After World War II, the new Communist authorities of Yugoslavia sentenced him in absentia to 20 years' imprisonment. Jovanović remained at liberty for the rest of his life in London.

Biography
Slobodan Jovanović was born in Újvidék, Austria-Hungary (present-day Novi Sad, Serbia) on 3 December 1869 to politician Vladimir Jovanović and his wife Jelena. He was reportedly the first Serbian male to be named "Slobodan" (sloboda means "freedom" in Serbian), while his sister was named Pravda ("Justice"). He received an excellent education in Belgrade, Munich, Zürich, and Geneva, where he graduated with a law degree. From 1890 to 1892, he took post-graduate studies in constitutional law and political science in Paris before entering the Serbian foreign service. In 1893 he was appointed political attaché with the Serbian mission to Constantinople, where he remained for a couple years. It was at this time that he began to write and have his articles on literary criticism published in various publications throughout the land.

He eventually left the diplomatic service in favour of academia and literary pursuits and became a contributing author and literary critic for several notable newspapers of the time. In 1897 he was appointed professor at the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Law. During the Balkan Wars and the First World War he was the Head of Serbian War Office Press Bureau. In this period Jovanović became acquainted with Dragutin Dimitrijević Apis and wrote positively of him. Shortly after the foundation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, in 1920, Stojan Protić, acting as Prime Minister of the Temporary National Representation, appointed Jovanović as the President of a multi-ethnic constitutional drafting committee alongside Kosta Kumanudi, Bogumil Vošnjak, Ladislav Polić, and Lazar Marković which later that year presented the first draft of what would later become the Vidovdan Constitution.

For more than four decades, Jovanović taught at the law faculty gaining a reputation as an authority on constitutional law and Serbian language and literature. He was Rector of the University of Belgrade on two separate occasions and Dean of Faculty of Law. Jovanović joined the Serbian Royal Academy in 1908, and was its President from 1928 to 1931. He was also a correspondent member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb from 1927.

Slobodan Jovanović was a critic of Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law. His primary remarks are on the relation of Kelsen's theory to other German theorists at the time. He considered Kelsen an innovative "young" theorist, but thought that his framework was not as dissimilar to more classical theories that Kelsen, in Jovanović's opinion, tried to attack. Namely, Jovanović posited that the special position of the Basic norm for Kelsen could be reduced to the framework of more classical German theories, in which the state is a legal person from which the legal system originates, and vice versa. Jovanović considered this to be a flaw of Kelsen's Legal positivism that makes it a theory that does not truly address the origins of the law, as it fails to truly separate in analysis the legal system from the state as an actor. In this way, Jovanović rejects an analysis that would fully divorce the man as a legal creature, from man as a political one.

Jovanović had some influence on political life in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia due to his well established authority in the field of law and history, but he entered directly political life only in 1939 when the Serbian Cultural Club was established, and he was appointed as Club's president. He was a pro-Western politician and when a pro-Western military coup took place in Belgrade on 27 March 1941, a pro-Western, essentially pro-British government was installed headed by General Dušan Simović. Jovanović was deputy Prime Minister in that government. The Third Reich attacked the Kingdoms of Yugoslavia and Greece on 6 April, and soon defeated Yugoslav and Greek forces. Jovanović moved in mid April together with King Peter II and other cabinet ministers to Jerusalem and he reached London in July. He became prime minister of the Yugoslav government-in-exile during World War II on 11 January 1942 and remained in that position until 26 June 1943.

Tried in absence in Josip Broz Tito's communist state together with general Draža Mihailović, he was sentenced to 20 years in jail which he never served, as well as the loss of political and civil rights for a period of ten years, and confiscation of all property and loss of citizenship. He spent his later years in exile in London (1945–1958). A memorial plaque in honour of Professor Slobodan Yovanovitch, Serbian historian, literary critic, legal scholar, Prime Minister of Yugoslavia may be found in London at 39b Queen's Gate Gardens, Kensington.

After unofficial rehabilitation in 1989, his collected works were published in 1991.

Legacy
Jovanović was decorated Order of Osmanieh and Order of Saint Sava.

In Serbia, he is regarded as one of the most influential liberals and political thinkers of the turn of the century. A number of his writings on a number of ideas such as Machiavellism and Platonist ideas of state are still relevant today.

Leading Serbian journal Politika on the occasion of his 70th birthday concluded that "his name has been carved as the highest peak of our culture up to now".

Works
His collected works were published in 17 volumes in 1939–1940. They contain the results of his unremitting labour as a writer, professor and politician for sixty years, and throw considerable light on Balkan history of the first half of the 20th century, as well as on the author himself. Although his works were not officially banned, any new issue of his books was not permitted in communist Yugoslavia until the late 1980s. Finally, a new edition of his collected works was published in Belgrade in 12 volumes in 1991.

Since 2003 his portrait has appeared on the 5000 dinar banknote, and his bust stands at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade. His official rehabilitation occurred on 26 October 2007 by a Belgrade court. Since 10 December 2011, plateau in front of Faculty of Law in Belgrade bears his name.

Ayala
This is not El Ratón Roberto Ayala. Was Rubén also called Ratón, nickname that would later Roberto Fabián inherited? -Mariano 14:22, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Rubén Ayala (el Ratón)

 * Ruben was the ratón, and was the left wing in the 1974 national team. He played in FC Barcelona... same colors as San Lorenzo, and one Johan Cruijff in the team as well.

 * Many players inherit the nickname from their father (brujita Veron, tomate Pena...) but some inherit it from a player that had the same (or similar) surname: Cholo Simeone, Raton Ayala, Cai Aimar (this one did not last)... elpincha 19:28, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Es
El Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro es uno de los cinco equipos grandes del fútbol de la Argentina. Fue fundado en el barrio de Almagro de la ciudad de Buenos Aires el 1º de abril de 1908, por iniciativa de un grupo de jóvenes con la colaboración del sacerdote salesiano R.P. Lorenzo Massa.

Aunque sin duda su nombre sirvió para inspirar el del naciente Club, el cura Massa sólo aceptó usarlo con la expresa salvedad de que con él se honrara al santo mártir de la fe y al primer triunfo de las armas patrióticas conducidas por el General San Martín en el combate de San Lorenzo. Los colores elegidos para su casaca fueron el azul, que simboliza el ideal y el rojo que simboliza la lucha.

Equipo campeón de 1915 El 1º de enero de 1915, el equipo ganó la final del torneo de ascenso a 1ª división y desde entonces obtuvo los siguientes campeonatos en la época amateur: 1923, 1924, y 1927, después de dos segundos puestos en 1925 y 1926 y, en la era profesional, los de 1933, 1936 (Copa de Honor), 1946, 1959, 1968, 1972 (Campeonato Metropolitano), 1972 (Campeonato Nacional), 1974 (Campeonato Nacional), 1995 (Torneo Clausura) y 2001 (Torneo Clausura). Además, en 1988 y 1991 logró las Liguillas Pre-Libertadores que lo clasificaron para tal evento continental.

"Los Matadores" Fue la primera institución argentina que en la era profesional consagró a su equipo de primera división campeón invicto (en 1968, Campeonato Metropolitano) y en 1972 fue el primer bicampeón nacional (Metropolitano y Nacional, nuevamente invicto). Tiene el record del fútbol argentino con una serie de 13 triunfos consecutivos, conseguida entre el Clausura y el Apertura del 2001.

Su brillante historial está jalonado por triunfos notables dentro y fuera de la fronteras de la Argentina y entre muchos otros, los del 6 a 1 sobre la selección nacional de España en Madrid y del 10 a 4 sobre la de Portugal en Lisboa en 1947, con el equipo campeón de 1946, tal vez el más deslumbrante y contundente conjunto que haya representado no sólo a San Lorenzo de Almagro sino también al fútbol argentino en el exterior.

Héctor Scotta, goleador Su peor temporada fue la de 1981, cuando le tocó perder la categoría y descender a Primera "B" (segunda división del fútbol local), pero su paso fue efímero. Con un fervoroso acompañamiento de su público (que batió todos los récords de recaudaciones), logró el título y el ascenso al año siguiente, 1982, marcando un hito en la historia de la institución y del fútbol nacional. Vistieron su casaca jugadores extranjeros famosos como los internacionales españoles Isidro Lángara y Ángel Zubieta, los brasileños Petronilho y Waldemar do Britos; los paraguayos Villalba, Brizuela, Lindolfo Acosta y Berni y el uruguayo Sergio Villar, el jugador que más veces vistió los colores azulgranas en la historia.

Sergio Villar, el jugador con más presencias en el Club En la Copa Libertadores de América participó en ocho oportunidades, en tres de las cuales llegó a las semifinales, siendo derrotado por Peñarol de Montevideo en 1960, Independiente de Avellaneda en 1973 y Newell's Old Boys de Rosario, en 1988. En 1992 y 1996 cayó en cuartos de final ante Newell's y River Plate, respectivamente. Cabe destacar que San Lorenzo fue el primer equipo argentino que representó a la AFA en este torneo. Además, obtuvo la Copa Mercosur 2001, convirtiéndose en el único equipo argentino en conquistarla. En 2002 consiguió la Copa Sudamericana en su primera edición. En 1993 participó de la II edición de la Copa Conmebol, cayendo por penales en la semifinal frente a Peñarol de Montevideo, Uruguay.

De San Lorenzo surgieron jugadores que adquirieron notoriedad en el exterior, tales como Luis Monti (que llegó a ser capitán de la selección de Italia que se clasificó Campeona del mundo en 1934), Rinaldo Martino y Oscar Basso también consagrados en Italia; así como Héctor Rial, Armando Benavídez y Coll, Rezza, D'Alessandro, Ayala, Heredia y Scotta en España. Chazarreta, Acosta y Leonardo Rodríguez brillaron en Francia, Gorosito y Czornomaz en Austria. En México se destacaron Boggio y Albrecht. En Uruguay, Fabrini, Martino y Sanfilippo; mientras que en Brasil descollaron Doval, Fischer, Veira y Ortiz, por nombrar sólo a los más notables.

 * brillaron..... ehhhhhhh not all of them shined... Basically Martino, Rezza, Ayala, and Fischer in Brazil... and do not claim Gorosito; he is a gallina. elpincha 19:28, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

San Lorenzo de Almagro ha sido denominado por la contundencia de su juego y el espíritu de lucha tradicional de sus equipos, con muchos apodos en distintas épocas, pero todos se sintetizan en el más popular que es el de "EL CICLON".

José Sanfilippo, el máximo goleador Si bien el fútbol es el que le ha dado mayor gloria deportiva y popularidad, en San Lorenzo se practican también otros deportes, habiendo alcanzado sus representantes notoriedad dentro y fuera del país como Delfo Cabrera, campeón olímpico de la maratón en Londres 1948 y Angela Marchetti, campeona mundial de aguas abiertas en natación. El básquet de San Lorenzo también tuvo épocas de brillo y fue el equipo azulgrana uno de los dos encargados de jugar el primer partido de la Liga Nacional de Básquet.

La institución posee en la actualidad una Ciudad Deportiva de 27 hectáreas en el corazón de Buenos Aires, en ella se inauguró el 16 de diciembre de 1993 "El Nuevo Gasómetro", el estadio que devolvió el hogar que el equipo no poseía desde el cierre del antiguo "Gasómetro" de Avenida La Plata en 1979, verdadera catedral del fútbol argentino.

Importance
San Lorenzo meet the criteria for high importance articles (Teams with international notability. Top-level leagues, awards and competitions) they are 10 times winners of the Argentine league (since it turned professional) making them the 4th most successful team in Argentine professional football. They have also won 2 continental titles and were the first team to win the Argentine league without losing a single game and the only team to manage this feat twice. Chelsea F.C. are (rightfully) high importance with only 3 league titles and three continental titles (2 in a defunct competition) and in Spain Deportivo de La Coruña are high importance with only 1 league title and no international titles.

The name of the Stadium
Hi, I'm not absolutely sure about this, but I think the Nuevo Gasómetro was originally named Fernando Miele when inaugurated, and later changed to Pedro Bidegáin. I don't know the exact date of the name change, unfortunately. At any case, Nuevo Gasómetro was always an unnofficial but common name for it. We should check this out with some San Lorenzo fan (I hope I'm not pointing out superfluous info!). Ipsumesse (talk) 06:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Walnut Hills High School

Walnut Hills High School is a public college-preparatory high school in Cincinnati, Ohio. Operated by Cincinnati Public Schools, it houses grades seven through twelve. The school was established in 1895 and has occupied its current building since 1932.

History
The school was the third district public high school established in the city of Cincinnati, following Hughes H.S. and Woodward H.S., and was opened in September 1895 on the corner of Ashland and Burdett Avenues in Cincinnati. As a district high school, it accommodated the conventional four years (grades 9–12).

A new building on Victory Boulevard (now Victory Parkway) was built on 14 acre acquired from the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati and completed in 1931. Designed by architect Frederick W. Garber's firm, it remains in use today. The facility was designed for 1700 students and included 31 class rooms, 3 study halls, choral harmony and band rooms, a general shop, a print shop, a mechanical drawing room, 2 swimming pools (separate swimming for boys and girls), a library, a large and a small auditorium, and a kitchen for teaching cooking (with pantry and adjacent living room and dining room).

Four temporary, prefabricated steel classrooms were installed in 1958 to accommodate the increasing student population.

Clubs and activities
Walnut Hills' Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL) and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).

Social Alliance Party

The Social Alliance Party (Partido Alianza Social; abbr. PAS), was a center-right humanist political party in Mexico that was founded in 1998 by José Antonio Calderón Cardoso and Guillermo Calderón Domínguez until its dissolution in 2003.

Initial stages and foundation of PAS 1997-1998
Following the Mexican Democratic Party defeat in the 1997 Mexican Legislative Elections, the party held its National Congress in Mexico City, where a resolution was reached to dissolve the aforementioned "political institute".

Notably, prominent politicians who were initially associated with the PDM, José Antonio Calderón and Guillermo Calderón Domínguez, were essential in the formation of PAS. Despite most of its members originating from the far-right Mexican Democratic Party; other right-wing rearmaments and former political party members, notably such as the National Synarchist Union and the National Action Party are integrated into PAS.

2000 General Election
During the 2000 general election, the party formed a coalition with the Democratic Revolution Party known as Alliance for Mexico (Spanish: Alianza por México). A left-wing coalition consisting of political parties opposed to the Institutional Revolutionary Party and nominating Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas as its presidential candidate.

In total, 19% of the votes were cast for the coalition. which granted the Social Alliance Party to conserve 2 Deputy Seats and Registration in the LVIII Legislature.

INE Fines
Before their involvement in the 2003 Legislative Elections, PAS was fined 3 million 285 thousand pesos by the Federal Electoral Institute, for allegedly mismanaging financial resources and using treasury funds for "non-partisan activities." Beatriz Patricia Lorenzo Juarez, the party's organizational secretary. Made reference to the fines levied by the IFE, criticizing the effort to "treat all parties equally".

Guillermo Calderón claimed that an "annual plan" was in development to help structure the party and achieving a presence throughout the country to compete in the legislative elections. He asserted that the projection of PAS for 2003 must be applied in order not to lose its registration with the IFE and allow them to participate in the next electoral local elections.

Dissolution
PAS never managed to achieve the votes needed to keep registration during the 2003 Legislative elections (2.00%), only managing to receive around 0.7% votes to be considered a political party, thus dissolving PAS on the 29th of August 2003.

Ideology
The PAS defined itself centrist and forbade to fit into the traditional spectrum of right or left; however, it was considered right-wing as it’s precursor and just about most its members appeared from the dissolved Mexican Democratic Party.

PAS presidents

 * (1998 - 2003): José Antonio Calderón Cardoso

PAS presidential candidates

 * (2000): Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano (alliance with PRD, PT, C and PSN to form Alliance for Mexico coalition)

Authentic Party of the Mexican Revolution

The Authentic Party of the Mexican Revolution (Partido Auténtico de la Revolución Mexicana, PARM) was a Mexican political party that existed from 1954 to 2000. For most of its existence, the PARM was generally considered a satellite party of the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

The PARM was founded by a group of veterans of the Mexican Revolution who had been marginalized in the PRI, led by Juan Barragán and Jacinto B. Treviño, both revolutionary generals who had held important governmental positions. The foundation of the PARM was supported by President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines, who saw a way to have an officially independent party that would support the efforts of the PRI and would give the appearance of democratic competition in elections and in Congress.

From their founding to 1987, the PARM did not present a separate candidate to the presidency, instead backing the PRI candidates and supporting presidential proposals in Congress. It was only an independent competitor in one city, Nuevo Laredo, where it won the municipal presidency.

In 1987, the PARM broke from the PRI for the first time as it became the first party to nominate Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano for president, leading to the beginning of the National Democratic Front. However, after the elections ended, it refused to be a member of the new party formed by Cárdenas Solórzano alongside the Mexican Socialist Party (PMS) and returned to its usual role as a satellite of the PRI.

The PARM lost its registration in 1994, but it briefly reappeared in 1999. The party nominated Porfirio Muñoz Ledo for president in 2000. One month prior to the election, the widening rift between the candidate and party leadership led to Muñoz Ledo resigning from his candidacy in favor of Vicente Fox. The party refused to recognize Muñoz Ledo's move but did not select a replacement candidate and definitively lost its registration in the ensuing election.

PARM presidents

 * 1954 to 1964: Jacinto B. Treviño
 * 1964 to 1973: Juan Barragán Rodríguez
 * 1973 to 1975: Pedro González Azcuaga
 * 1977: Juan G. Peña
 * 1977 to 1979: Antonio Gómez Velasco
 * 1979: Antonio Vázquez del Mercado
 * 1979 to 1983: Jesús Guzmán Rubio
 * 1983 to 1993: Carlos Cantú Rosas
 * 1993: Juan Jaime Hernández
 * 1993 to 1996: Rosa María Martínez Denegri
 * 1996 to 2000: Carlos Guzmán Pérez

PARM candidates

 * 1958: Adolfo López Mateos (allied with PRI and PPS)
 * 1964: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz (allied with PRI and PPS)
 * 1970: Luis Echeverría Álvarez (allied with PRI and PPS)

Democratic Center Party of Mexico

The Party of the Democratic Center (Partido de Centro Democrático) was a political party in Mexico between 1999 and 2000. The PCD defined itself as a centrist party and was founded by Manuel Camacho Solís, who was its only leader and presidential candidate in the 2000 Mexican general election; the party never managed to have a true political presence.

Dissolution
In the presidential elections of 2 July 2000, its candidate Manuel Camacho Solís won 0.6% of the popular vote. In the senatorial elections of the same date, the party won 1.4% but no seats in the Senate. Since it did not secure parliamentary representation in 2003 it is not currently a nationally recognized party. During the same time, the elections for Head of Government of the Federal District were held. Marcelo Ebrard had declined to candidate in favor of PRD candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

It retained its registration at a local level in Tlaxcala for a few more years, where under the name of the Tlaxcala Democratic Center Party (PCDT), it participated in an alliance with the National Action Party, with the candidate of the alliance Héctor Ortiz Ortiz triumphing although eventually losing local registration, thus dissolving the party

Social Democracy (Mexico)

In the 2 July 2000 presidential elections its candidate, Gilberto Rincón Gallardo, won 1.6% of the popular vote. In the senatorial elections of the same date the party won 1.8% but no seats in the Senate of Mexico.

Party of the Nationalist Society

The Party of the Nationalist Society (Partido de la Sociedad Nacionalista, PSN) is a former political party in Mexico that existed between 1998 and 2003. Founded and led by Gustavo Riojas Santana, it was a center-left party which advocated nationalist policies.

The PSN was widely considered to be a "family party" since most of the party's top offices were occupied by relatives of Riojas Santana, allegedly for personal benefit.

In the Mexican general election of July 2, 2000, the party was a member of the Alliance for Mexico, nominating Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas as its presidential candidate. Being part of the Alliance allowed the party to remain registered as a political party after the election, as well as obtaining three seats in the Chamber of Deputies. These seats were assigned to Riojas Santana, his wife and his sister.

Dissolution
In the 2003 midterm elections the PSN ran on its own and failed to obtain any seats in either chamber of the Mexican Congress. Since it also failed to secure 2.0% of the total votes, the party lost its registry as a political party. Shortly thereafter, the Federal Electoral Institute fined Riojas Santana for misuse of the public funds it assigned to the PSN for campaign purposes.

Beautiful Stranger

"Beautiful Stranger" is a song by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on May 19, 1999, by Maverick and Warner Bros. Records as a single from the soundtrack of the film, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Madonna co-wrote and co-produced the song with William Orbit. The soundtrack for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me was a much expected release and Madonna's song was chosen by the album's executive producers to promote it. "Beautiful Stranger" has appeared on three separate Madonna greatest hits collections: GHV2 (2001), Celebration (2009) and Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones (2022). Musically, "Beautiful Stranger" is a psychedelic pop and disco song that features heavily reverberated guitars and bouncy drum loops. Its lyrics tell the tale of a romantic infatuation.

The song received positive feedback from music critics who praised the production and Madonna's progress with her music, following her critically acclaimed album Ray of Light (1998). It was a commercial success reaching the top of the charts in Canada, Finland, Iceland and Italy, number two in the United Kingdom and top-ten in many markets. Although the song was not commercially released in the United States, it reached number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 due to airplay. It reached number one on the US dance charts. "Beautiful Stranger" also earned Madonna her fifth Grammy Award, winning the trophy for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

The song's music video, directed by Brett Ratner, prominently features Madonna singing in a club, visited by Mike Myers as his character Austin Powers. At the end of the video Madonna seduces Myers and goes off in his car. It won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film in 1999. Madonna performed the song on her 2001 Drowned World Tour, and it has been covered by some artists, including a critically acclaimed version by Australian rock band DMA's.

Background and release
Madonna and Canadian actor Mike Myers had previously collaborated for an episode of Saturday Night Live in 1991, when the singer hosted the show and invited Myers' character, Wayne Campbell to play a game of truth or dare, while pitching her documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare. According to Gwen Ihnat from The A.V. Club, the "creative partnership [between them] works because Madonna, though serious, always seems game, and Myers, though frequently goofy, is also creatively inventive". In 1999, the singer was chosen to contribute a single on the soundtrack for Myers' second film about the spy character Austin Powers, titled Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Madonna's former boyfriend, British screenwriter Andy Bird, was reportedly the inspiration for "Beautiful Stranger."

The soundtrack to The Spy Who Shagged Me led to the teaming up of two music executives, Warner Bros. Records senior vice president Danny Bramson and Madonna's Maverick Records' co-owner Guy Oseary; both of them served as executive producer on the soundtrack. By May 1999, expectations were already high for the release, so the producers decided to include Madonna's track along with a song from a number of other high-profile artists like R.E.M., Lenny Kravitz and Mel B from the Spice Girls.

As recalled by Oseary, there was intense competition among artists to have their songs placed in the soundtrack, with one manager connected to the project describing the fight for the first potential single release as "a blood bath". The main intention of the producers was to have the artists contribute music which would abide by the predominant 1960s mood of the film. Ultimately, it was decided that "Beautiful Stranger" was suitable for this, and it was chosen as the first single from the soundtrack. However, Madonna's recording company Warner Bros. decided not to release any CD single or remix singles to accompany the release in the United States, only promo 12-inch discs were sent to the dance club DJs. The song was only released to the CHR top 40 radio for airplay on May 19, 1999. In the United Kingdom, the single was released on June 7, 1999, as a CD single, 12-inch single, and cassette single, while in Canada, a CD was issued on July 20, 1999. "Beautiful Stranger" has appeared on two separate Madonna greatest hits collections: GHV2 (2001) and Celebration (2009). On May 21, 2021, Madonna released the "Beautiful Stranger" remix EP to all digital and streaming outlets.

Recording and composition
Recording for "Beautiful Stranger" took place in February 1999 at the Guerilla Beach Studios in Los Angeles, California, as well as the Enterprise Studio in Burbank, California. Along with writing and producing the song with Madonna, Orbit also played the keyboards and the guitar on the track. Damian LeGassick did the programming and additional keyboard while Emma Fowler played the flute. The engineering team included Pat McCarthy, Mark Endert and Dave Chelsea, with McCarthy also mixing the track. Jeff Gregmay and Wassim Zartek were the assistant recording engineers. According to the sheet music published by Musicnotes.com, "Beautiful Stranger" is set in common time and is composed in a key of F♯ major with a mid dance tempo of 128 beats per minute. The song begins with a basic sequence of E–B–F♯–A–C♯ before moving to the main chord progression of C♯sus4–C♯7.

"Beautiful Stranger" is a psychedelic pop and disco song and begins with a musical instrumentation reminiscent of "Light My Fire" (1967) by The Doors and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (1967) by The Beatles. The song's main structure is backed by guitar, while drums come in during the choruses. Around the 1:06 mark, there is a hint of mellotron and flute being played like The Beatles' 1967 songs "Strawberry Fields Forever" or "The Fool on the Hill". The song has similar composition to Madonna's endeavors with her previous album Ray of Light, mixed with psychedelic music. USA Today's Ken Barnes has suggested that the chorus, riff, instrumentation and structure of "Beautiful Stranger" were based on American rock band Love's 1966 single "She Comes in Colors". The band's record company—Rhino Records—executive Gary Stewart stated that "Certainly, the riff and instrumentation [of 'Beautiful Stranger'] are reminiscent of 'She Comes in Colors,'" and that the "da da da da da" chorus on the track seems to be based upon "an instrumental flourish that's an integral part of the [Love] record. It may be a conscious or an unconscious homage." Madonna denied any such influence, claiming that she had never heard of Love.

According to Michael Paoletta from Billboard, "no fierce-ruling club DJ in 1999 would [have] dared play the original jangly rock-etched version of the song". Hence the song was remixed by Victor Calderone, who kept the basic structure of the song, while mixing it with tribal infused beats. Unlike many of his then releases—where he removed the bulk of the song's lyrics for remixing—with "Beautiful Stranger" he kept them. Paoletta described the remixes as "if Calderone fully understands the importance of a song and understands how best to unite deft beats and a dazzling vocal performance." The remixes include a rock-leaning version as well as Calderone's Club and Radio mixes.

Critical reception
"Beautiful Stranger" received generally positive reviews. Chuck Taylor from Billboard denoted the song as a "new shift in the wind for [Madonna]", calling it another creative high for her. He also complimented the production saying that "this latest partnership with [Orbit] taps into a walloping romp of guitars and enough cascading organs to prompt an urge to listen to your Monkees collection." Taylor ended the review with positive feedback for Madonna's vocals, likening them to those for the Evita album, along with commending the chorus. In a different article for Billboard talking about the song's remixes, Paoletta described the track as "effervescent blast of psychedelic electronica". Writing for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Gino DeLa Paz found it "cute but forgettable". Gwen Ihnat, from the entertainment website The A.V. Club, labeled it as "Madonna's best song that never appeared on one of her regular albums [...] a psychedelic pop confection that offered a few of her most indelible hooks". Ihnat also wrote that "although less ethereal than 1998's Ray of Light, ['Beautiful Stranger'] is just as dance-floor ready [...] dance flute has never sounded so enticing, and Madonna's voice so sweetly seductive". AllMusic's Jose F. Promis listed the track "as one of the singer's more memorable moments, coupling 1960s go-go rock with 1990s electronica, resulting in nothing less than a true slice of old fashioned rock & roll"; Promis also praised the two Calderone mixes.

Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani gave the song a rating of B− and wrote: "Like any good throwaway track, 'Beautiful Stranger' doesn't pretend to be much more than it is. Whiny guitars and flutes abound, Madonna and Orbit concocted a perfect theme song for friend Mike Myers's cooky Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Playful, wispy and ultimately forgettable". In August 2018, Paul Schrodt from the same magazine, placed it at number 53 on his ranking of the singer's singles, calling it "the antithesis of Ray of Light. The hooky, psychedelic track is more accessible than Madonna’s previous work with Orbit. The innocuous lyrics could’ve been ghostwritten for anyone, but the song endears due to Madge’s playful delivery and Orbit’s sonic details". Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly, declared it as the "song of the summer", and praised it for being "a piece of psychedelic pop at once so 60s and so 90s that to sully it with a 'shagalicious' joke would be an insult... The way [Madonna] has of making her voice merge into indistinguishability with the surging instrumentation in the chorus, the way she sings the title phrase with an ache in her voice, that's at once urgent and playful." Matthew Jacobs from The Huffington Post ranked the song 22 on their list of "The Definitive Ranking Of Madonna Singles". Medium's Richard LaBeau called it a "bold, clever and interesting bridge between the Ray of Light and Music eras". In March 2023, Billboard ranked the song as Madonna's 88th greatest ever, with Andrew Unterberger writing: "Madonna's still in too reflective a mindset to go full incense and peppermints with it, but she's game enough to meet Orbit's woozy reverb-soaked groove..."

Louis Virtel, from TheBacklot.com, placed "Beautiful Stranger" at number 36 of his list "The 100 Greatest Madonna Songs"; he felt that "Orbit's psychedelic styling suit Madonna's groovy wistfulness perfectly". Author Phil Dellio wrote in his book Interrupting My Train of Thought that although "Beautiful Stranger" had similarities to Madonna's own "Ray of Light" (1998), it had "better melody, better vocal, better light show. It's about the trippiest, most propulsive above-ground dance music since the first two minutes of Led Zeppelin's 'How Many More Times'." J. Randy Taraborrelli wrote in Madonna: An Intimate Biography that Madonna's 2000 song "Amazing", from her eight studio album Music sounded like a cousin to "Beautiful Stranger" with its inspired composition. While ranking Madonna's singles, in honor of her 60th birthday, The Guardian's Jude Rogers placed "Beautiful Stranger" at number 34, calling it a "gorgeously slinky, impish love song". In a list of the "99 Best Songs of 1999", Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield placed the track at number 27 and praised it for being "the most shagadelic disco hit by a megastar shimmying into the big 4-0", adding that "Madonna has never sounded so loose, so lithe, so funny". The song received a Grammy award at the 42nd ceremony, in the category of Best Song Written for Visual Media. It was also nominated in the category of Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It was also nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song, but lost to Phil Collins's "You'll Be in My Heart". At the 2000 ASCAP Pop Awards it was awarded the Most Performed Song. It also won the Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work, while also being nominated for Best Contemporary Song. The 1999 MTV Europe Music Awards also nominated the track in the category of Best Song. "Beautiful Stranger" was nominated as Favorite Song From a Movie at the 1999 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

Chart performance
In the United States, "Beautiful Stranger" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 78 on June 12, 1999. It was Madonna's first soundtrack single to chart on the Hot 100 since her rendition of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" reached number eight in March 1997. "Beautiful Stranger" also debuted at number 28 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. It gradually climbed up the Hot 100 and peaked at number 19 on July 13, 1999, on the strength of radio airplay only. Promis said that the relative low placement was due to the CD singles not being released. "Beautiful Stranger" was successful on the Billboard dance charts, reaching number one on the Dance Club Songs chart. It placed at number 31 on the year-end ranking for Dance Club Songs in 1999. In Canada, "Beautiful Stranger" was able to top both the RPM Top Singles and Adult Contemporary charts, while also reaching a peak of number four on the Dance/Urban charts. While the song was commercially released in Canada, it was ineligible to chart on the Canadian Singles Chart as Warner did not submit the necessary barcode information to Nielsen SoundScan.

In Australia, "Beautiful Stranger" debuted at number eight on the ARIA Charts, and reached its peak of number five the next week, staying there for two weeks in total. It gradually descended down the charts, present within the top 50 for a total of 16 weeks. It was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipment of 35,000 copies of the single. At the year end tabulation, the song ranked at number 34 on the Singles chart. In New Zealand, "Beautiful Stranger" debuted at its peak position of number five. The single gradually descended down the charts, and was present for a total of 14 weeks.

In the United Kingdom the song debuted at its peak of number two on the UK Singles Chart with first-week sales of over 135,000 copies. The song spent 16 weeks on the singles chart, with seven of those being within the top 20. "Beautiful Stranger" also became one of the most played songs on UK radio, receiving over 2,462 plays per week, breaking the previous record held by Cher with her single "Believe". According to the Official Charts Company, the song has sold 535,000 copies in the United Kingdom as of August 2016 and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Across Europe, "Beautiful Stranger" reached the top twenty of the charts in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, while reaching the top of the charts in Finland and Italy. It received a silver certification in France for shipment of 125,000 copies. The song reached a peak of number two on the European Hot 100 Singles chart, also ranking number two in the 1999 year-end tabulation behind Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time".

Music video
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Brett Ratner and filmed at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on May 1, 1999. Madonna had previously shown interest in working with Ratner after seeing his video for D'Angelo's "Brown Sugar" (1995). Her make-up was done by Kevyn Aucoin, with whom she had previously worked on her music video for "The Power of Good-Bye". According to Ratner, it was a rather jovial shooting: Mike was in character the entire time. He and Madonna really had a great chemistry together. This video shows her absolutely hysterical sense of humour, and it's great for everyone to see that side of her. This was by far the most fun I've ever had making a video. The video begins with Myers as Austin Powers, receiving a call from his boss Basil Exposition (Michael York), who warns him against a dangerous spy describing her as a "master of disguise". The screen of his car depicts five images of Madonna wearing different looks, and Exposition clarifies that she has been "seducing our top agents". He also warns Powers "whatever you do don't fall in love. We've already lost 007 and 008". As the video continues, Powers finds Madonna at a club performing in front of a crowd, which includes Verne Troyer in character as Mini-Me. As he watches her perform, Powers finds himself fantasizing about the two of them dancing in front of a white background with psychedelic fluorescent whirls. He also imagines her in the passenger seat of his car, where she dances suggestively for him and playfully teases him whilst he is driving through London at night.

According to Ratner, Myers was not comfortable with these scenes, as he felt it was too sexual and inappropriate; he even asked him to cut that particular shot. Madonna on the other hand, thought it was fun and convinced the director to keep it. The video ends with Powers' car fantasy, with Powers telling Madonna “You’re going the right way for a smackbottom”, to which Madonna replies “I hope so”. Author Georges Claude Guilbert wrote in his book, Madonna as Postmodern Myth, that "Beautiful Stranger" denoted one of the series of looks reinvented by Madonna around that time, and was a "radical" change from the geisha look of her previous video for "Nothing Really Matters", released the same year. Matthew Rettenmund wrote in his Encyclopedia Madonnica that "Madonna probably gave very little thought [behind the video]" but he felt that it was better than being a "couple of steps above a clips compilation".

At the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, the video was nominated in the categories of Best Female Video and Best Cinematography, and won for Best Video from a Film. It also received a nomination for Best Pop Clip of the Year at the 1999 Billboard Music Video Awards. The clip won Best Cinematography and Best Make-Up at the 2000 MVPA Awards; it was also nominated for Soundtrack Video of the Year. At the 1999 VH1 Fashion Awards, the video received a nomination in the category of Most Stylish Video. The video can be found on the Madonna compilations, The Video Collection 93:99 (1999) and Celebration: The Video Collection (2009).

Live performances and covers
Madonna performed "Beautiful Stranger" on her 2001 Drowned World Tour, where it was the fourth song on the setlist. It began with an introduction by Myers as Austin Powers on the video screens, the singer then asked the crowd "Do I make you horny?" (one of Powers' catchphrases) before performing the song. She was joined by backup singers Niki Haris and Donna DeLory, who also contributed with background vocals on the track. Costumes for the performance included spiked dog collars, Swarovski crystal-encrusted bracelets and tattered tops; Madonna herself wore a sleeveless black top, crossover top with one net sleeve, jeans with zips and bondage straps and a tartan kilt. The backdrop during the performance displayed scenes from the movie and psychedelic fluorescent whirls. It also featured a lost technician at the end and elements of "Soul Bossa Nova (Dim's Space-A-Nova)", another song from the film's soundtrack. On September 15, 2001, the tour's final date, Madonna's then husband Guy Ritchie joined her onstage as the lost technician. Michael Hubbard from MusicOMH noted that "things quickly hotted up with [...] 'Beautiful Stranger'". The performance on August 26, 2001, at The Palace of Auburn Hills, outside of Madonna's hometown of Detroit was recorded and released in the live video album, Drowned World Tour 2001.

On October 26, 2008, Madonna performed a snippet of "Beautiful Stranger" as the request song during the Chicago stop of her Sticky & Sweet Tour. An a cappella version of the song was also performed during the Nashville stop of her Rebel Heart Tour in January 2016. In December 2016, Madonna performed "Beautiful Stranger" during her Tears of a Clown show as part of a benefit dinner for her charity, Raising Malawi, at Miami, Florida.

Jon Auer, co-founder of the American power pop band The Posies, recorded a cover of the song on his 2001 solo EP 6 ½. Website Stereogum listed the cover at number five on their list of The 20 Best Indie Rock Madonna Covers. A 2007 folk music tribute compilation to Madonna, entitled Through the Wilderness, features a cover of the song by Golden Animals. Australian rock band DMA's covered the song during their BBC Radio 1 sessions with Annie Mac on March 8, 2016. Michelle Geslani from Consequence of Sound website praised the cover saying that it would "undoubtedly be hailed as yet another successful entry in DMA's young career" and described the cover as "easily tweaking the swirling, retro number into a psychedelic, arena-ready anthem". Michael Carr from Music Feeds magazine also praised the cover saying "Lending itself surprisingly well to the boys’ shoegazey brit pop treatment, the lads absolutely nail it... To be honest though, they kind of won on song choice alone".

Most recently, American punk band Skating Polly released a cover of the song on the 2020 re-release of their album, The Make It All Show, as one of the bonus tracks. The band had previously covered the song on their 2016 tour.

His father, Syed Ahmadullah, was a government officer. He was a district magistrate of British Raj period. Waliullah spent his childhood in Mymensingh, Feni, Krishnanagar and Kurigram. His notable novel, Lalsalu, was inspired by a shrine covered with red cloth that he would often pass when he lived in Mymensingh.

Waliullah passed his matriculation examination in 1939 from Kurigram High School. He completed his IA from Dhaka Intermediate College in 1941 and bachelor's from Ananda Mohan College in Mymensingh in 1943. He then moved to Calcutta to complete his master's in economics.

In 1967, he joined the UNESCO in Paris.

Literature
Waliullah is often considered the pioneer of existential analysis of the characters psyche in the literature of Bangladesh. The last two of his three novels, especially ' Kando Nadi Kando (Cry, o river), (কাঁদো নদী কাঁদো) (1968), show his mastery in revealing the inner depths of his characters.

Lalsalu
Lalsalu tells the story of Majid, a poor man from a devout Muslim background. Majid comes to a remote village. He declares an old grave to be the Mazar that of a Pir, covers it with the traditional red cloth used for mausoleums, and establishes his stronghold on the life of the people using the reflected power on him of the supposed saint. The novel shows his struggle with other religious figures trying to establish dominance, the undercurrent of pagan ideas among the people, and his own weaknesses.

The novel was adapted to a Tanvir Mokammel film with the same title in 2001.

Kowloon railway station (KCR)

Kowloon station, colliquially Old Tsim Sha Tsui Terminal, located in Tsim Sha Tsui on the present site of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, was the former southern terminus of the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR).

History
The first Kowloon station was a temporary structure built near the (now demolished) Post Office on Salisbury Road in 1909 and served until the permanent station was completed. Regular service between Canton and Kowloon began on 1 October 1910.

The new station was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback and built on reclaimed land overlooking the harbour. Work on the foundations started in May 1913, and the construction of the station began on 1 March 1914. It was completed on 1 March 1916, and the station was officially opened on 28 March 1916.

The building consisted of a two-storey L-shaped terminal building with a clock tower. It was designed in a Edwardian Classical Revival style, and built had a steel frame with red brick cladding as well as white granite columns, architraves and pediments. On the north end of the station was a covered walkway which led to two covered elevated platforms. A freight station was located a mile north of the station.

Relocation
Owing to lacking of space for expansion, the southern terminus of the railway was moved from Tsim Sha Tsui to a new station named Hung Hom on the new reclaimed land from Hung Hom Bay in 1974. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre was constructed on the site.

After its relocation to Hung Hom (also replacing the old Hung Hom station) in 1974, the new southern terminus of the KCR, the railway which was renamed KCR East Rail in the late 1990s.

Preservation campaign
A campaign was mounted to preserve the 60-year-old red brick terminus. The Kowloon Residents' Association wrote to the Colonial Secretary in 1970; the Tsim Sha Tsui Neighbourhood and Welfare Association also wrote to the Colonial Secretary in 1975, and again in May 1977.

A petition was mounted by the Heritage Society, and sent to the then Governor, Murray MacLehose on 29 July 1977. The Government rejected the petition, and its request for an independent inquiry into the draft area development plan. It argued that a new cultural complex would assume the role enjoyed by the building, and that the plans for a new cultural complex to be erected on the site were too far advanced to be altered. The Heritage society charged that the Government was engaged in dirty tricks, and was misleading the public.

The Heritage Society escalated lobbying effort, and petitioned Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with a file containing some 15,000 signatures in February 1978, hoping for royal intervention. Within 48 hours of the Royal decision, the demolition crew had already moved in.

Clock Tower
The Clock Tower is the only part of the old station in Tsim Sha Tsui remaining at its own site. Six pillars of the station building were moved to the Urban Council Centenary Garden in Tsim Sha Tsui East. After decades at other locations, including the East Rail depot at Ho Tung Lau, the clock tower's bell was returned to its original home in September 2010.

Edith Rogers (Manitoba politician)

Edith Florence Rogers ( McTavish; April 26, 1876 — April 19, 1947) was a Métis politician in Manitoba, Canada. She served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1920 to 1932, as a member of the Manitoba Liberal Party. She was the first woman ever elected to the legislature.

Early life and family
Edith Florence McTavish was born at Norway House, Manitoba on April 26, 1876, the daughter of Métis parents Lydia Catherine Christie and Donald C. McTavish, Chief Factor of the Hudson's Bay Company. Edith's mother Lydia was the daughter of William Christie (HBC chief factor at Edmonton) and Mary Sinclair. Rogers had strong family connections to Manitoba's past. Her maternal great-grandfather, Alexander Christie, served as Governor of Assiniboia on two occasions, and supervised the construction of Fort Garry. His son, William J. Christie, worked for the Hudson's Bay Company in Manitoba from 1843 to 1873, and was named Inspecting Chief Factor in 1868. Rogers herself was born in the tiny outpost of Norway House, six hundred kilometres north of Winnipeg, the daughter of Donald MacTavish, a chief factor for the Hudson's Bay Company. At age two, she moved with her family to Rupert House, on the shore of James Bay.

Marriage, philanthropy, charitable work
She was educated in Montreal. After graduation, she moved to Winnipeg and, in 1898, married the businessman Robert Arthur Rogers. She became prominent as a philanthropist in the 1910s, and particularly after the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Rogers worked for the Patriotic Fund, which distributed money to the families of soldiers fighting overseas, and became known for devoting several hours to personal consultations with family members. She also worked with the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the Land Settlement Board and other groups.

Political career
In 1916, Manitoba's Liberal government of Tobias Norris passed a law extending voting rights to women. In 1920, Rogers was asked to become a "star candidate" for the Liberal Party in the Winnipeg constituency, which elected ten members by a single transferable ballot. She accepted, contested the 1920 provincial election, finished eighth on the first count, and was declared elected on the thirty-eighth count.

For the next two years, Rogers served as a backbench supporter of Norris's administration. Because of her work with Winnipeg's returned soldiers and unemployed men, she was more sympathetic to labour issues than were most others in the Liberal caucus. She played a significant role in steering Manitoba's Child Welfare Act through committee and into law. She also supported the prohibition of alcohol.

However her election did not signal renewed political power for Manitoba's Metis or for women.

The Liberals were defeated by the United Farmers of Manitoba in the 1922 provincial election. Rogers, who was re-elected in Winnipeg, served with seven other Liberals on the opposition benches. She frequently criticised social service cuts enacted by John Bracken's administration.

Rogers was re-elected for a final time in the 1927 election, which the Liberals again lost. In 1928, she represented Canada at the Geneva Conference for the abolition of import and export prohibitions and restrictions. Her husband died in 1929, and she did not seek re-election in 1932.

Later life and death
She resumed her philanthropic career in World War II, serving as chair of the Provincial War Council of the Red Cross. She retired in 1942, and died in Colborne, Ontario five years later on April 21, 1947.

Margaret Konantz
Rogers's daughter, Margaret Konantz, served as a Liberal member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1963 to 1965, and was the first woman ever elected as a federal MP from Manitoba.

Publications
Gail Konantz wrote a biography of Rogers in 1981.

Dover 400

The Dover 400 (last held as the Drydene 311) was a NASCAR Cup Series stock car race held annually at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware, from 1971 to 2020. It was the second of two Cup Series races at the 1-mile concrete oval during that time.

Held in the fall, the race was part of the NASCAR playoffs from their start in 2004 until 2020, when the race was moved to the penultimate weekend of the regular season. However, that event then became part of a doubleheader with the rescheduled spring race in August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The race length was also shortened to 311 miles for both events. The race was left off of the schedule in 2021 as Dover Motorsports, the track's owner, elected to move one of its two dates to Nashville Superspeedway as part of a schedule realignment.

Notable races

 * 1971: Bobby Allison dominated the race until a lug bolt broke on a pit stop, putting Richard Petty into the lead in the final 100 laps en route to the win.
 * 1975: Richard Petty put the entire field two laps down until at Lap 350 he ran over debris from a backmarker's blown engine that broke a tie rod. Petty spent eight laps in the pits getting a new tie rod and came out six laps down.  While Lennie Pond blew his engine Petty erased all six laps, but needed a late yellow when Buddy Arrington stopped on the track with fifteen to go.  Petty breezed to the win, leaving runner-up Dick Brooks angry at Arrington, who'd recently purchased a transporter from Petty Enterprises: "I guess Arrington needed that truck paid for."
 * 1976: Cale Yarborough lost two laps on two separate occasions and made them up en route to the win.
 * 1977: Benny Parsons dominated the race after Lap 250.
 * 1978: Bobby Allison won after a recent visit to the Mayo Clinic for a checkup.
 * 1979: Richard Petty, Donnie Allison, and Cale Yarborough battled over the final 30 laps; Petty edged Allison by a hood at the stripe.
 * 1980: Darrell Waltrip took the win, his final for DiGard Racing.
 * 1981: Neil Bonnett stormed to his second win in the 1981 season's last three races as hard-luck Harry Gant led 178 laps but blew his engine with 63 laps to go.
 * 1983: Bobby Allison edged Geoff Bodine for the win, his sixth of the season en route to his only Winston Cup title.
 * 1986: Ricky Rudd took his first Dover win as title contenders Dale Earnhardt and Tim Richmond crashed and raced each other with damaged race cars despite being multiple laps down.
 * 1991: Multiple crashes put Harry Gant alone on the lead lap for his third straight win of September 1991.
 * 1992: Ricky Rudd edged Bill Elliott as Alan Kulwicki crashed, putting him seemingly out of the season point chase.
 * 1993: Tire failures and crashes, including a multi-car melee detonated when Rusty Wallace hammered another car into the path of the leaders, plagued the 1993 500 won by Wallace.
 * 1995: In a race with only five yellows flags, Jeff Gordon and Bobby Hamilton dominated en route to a 1-2 finish.
 * 1996: Gordon and Dale Earnhardt battled amid an epidemic of crashes. Ernie Irvan crashed ahead of Derrike Cope and crew chief Larry McReynolds attacked Cope in the garage area.  A three-car melee led to a near-brawl on the track between Jimmy Spencer and Wally Dallenbach Jr.  Following this race NASCAR raised the sanction fee for a 500-mile race, forcing Dover to cut back to 400 miles.
 * 1998: Mark Martin won while Matt Kenseth finished sixth in his first career start; Kenseth substituted for Bill Elliott, who missed the race for his father's funeral.
 * 2000: Tony Stewart went on to win the season sweep at Dover. This race also marked the first career start for driver Kurt Busch who replaced driver Chad Little in the John Deere Ford.
 * 2001: In the first NASCAR sanctioned Cup race following the September 11 attacks, (the previous race scheduled for New Hampshire Speedway was postponed until the end of the season) a silent lap 3, which was a season-long scheduled event in memory of Dale Earnhardt who had died in a crash in the 2001 Daytona 500, was changed to include the memory of the victims of the attacks. Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the race and celebrated by doing a Polish victory lap while holding an American flag in salute. Notably, the white flag was not waved on the final lap, causing some confusion with the television broadcasting team.
 * 2006: Jeff Burton broke a 175 race winless streak passing Matt Kenseth with 8 laps to go. This was a very emotional win for Jeff.
 * 2009: Joey Logano flipped 8 times in turn 3 after being tapped by Tony Stewart, though a couple cars ahead of Logano had braked going into the corner. Logano suffered no injuries from the wreck.
 * 2013: Jimmie Johnson held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. to take his eighth win at Dover, breaking a tie with Richard Petty and Bobby Allison for most all-time wins at the track. For Johnson, it allowed him to redeem himself for the restart line violation (when he'd jumped Juan Pablo Montoya on a late restart with 20 laps to go) that had cost him a shot at winning the race in June.
 * 2017: Chase Elliott dominated the final stage of the race and was on the way to his first career win until Kyle Busch passed him coming to the white flag. Kyle Busch won the race for his second consecutive win and fourth of the season.
 * 2018: After Chase Elliott lost the race the year before in the closing laps, he found redemption by fending off Denny Hamlin in a green-white-checkered finish on older tires. It was Elliott's first win on an oval, since his first Cup win was on a road course.
