John F. Collins

John Frederick Collins (July 20, 1919 – November 23, 1995) was an American lawyer who served as the mayor of Boston from 1960 to 1968. Collins was a lawyer who served in the Massachusetts Legislature from 1947 to 1955. He and his children caught polio during a 1955 outbreak. He was reliant on a wheelchair and crutches the rest of his life. After partially recovering, he ran for mayor in 1959 as an underdog. He successfully portrayed himself as outside corrupt "machine politics" and was elected.

As mayor, Collins is most remembered for a massive urban redevelopment program, which was spearheaded by Edward J. Logue and the Boston Redevelopment Authority and led to a rejuvenation of business in Boston. The city's seafront began changing into the business and tourist-friendly district seen in later decades. His actions were emulated by urban planners around the country, and the campaign was credited by later mayors as ensuring that Boston did not continue shrinking.

Later in his second term, Collins made an unsuccessful run in the Democratic primary of the 1966 United States Senate election in Massachusetts. After leaving politics, he worked as a visiting professor and lecturer.

Early life
John Collins was born in Roxbury on July 20, 1919, to an Irish Catholic family. His father, Frederick "Skeets" Collins, worked as a mechanic for the Boston Elevated Railway. Collins graduated from Roxbury Memorial High School, and in 1941, from Suffolk University Law School. He served a tour in the Army Counterintelligence Corps during World War II, rising in rank from private to captain. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus.

In 1946, Collins married Mary Patricia Cunniff, a legal secretary, who Collins had met through his work as an attorney. She would later campaign for Collins when he was incapacitated by polio. The couple had four children.

Early political career
In 1947, Collins was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, representing Jamaica Plain, and, in 1950, to the Massachusetts State Senate. Collins spent two terms as senator and then ran unsuccessfully for state attorney general in 1954, losing to George Fingold. While campaigning for a seat on the City Council in 1955, Collins and his children contracted polio. Collins' children recovered and he continued with his campaign despite warnings from his doctors. As a result of the disease, Collins was reliant on a wheelchair or crutches for the rest of his life. He was elected to the council and the following year was appointed Register of Probate for Suffolk County.

Mayor of Boston

In 1959, Collins ran against Massachusetts Senate President John E. Powers for Mayor of Boston. Collins was widely viewed as the underdog in the race. Powers was supported by Massachusetts U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy. Collins ran on the slogan "stop power politics", and was widely seen as independent of any political machine. Collins' victory in the 1959 mayoral election was considered the biggest upset in city politics in decades. Boston University political scientist Murray Levin wrote a book on the race, titled The Alienated Voter: Politics in Boston, which attributed Collins' victory to the voters' cynicism and resentment of the city's political elite.

Collins won re-election in 1963, easily defeating City Councilor Gabriel Piemonte. In 1966, a Boston Globe poll showed deep dissatisfaction with the Collins administration's urban renewal policies.

Urban renewal

Collins inherited a city in fiscal distress. Property taxes in Boston were twice as high as in New York or Chicago, even as the city's tax base was declining. Collins established a close relationship with a group of local business leaders known as the Vault, cut taxes in five of his eight years in office and imposed budget cuts on city government. Collins' administration focused on downtown redevelopment: Collins brought the urban planner Edward J. Logue (who had been serving as the administrator of the New Haven Redevelopment Agency) to Boston to lead the Boston Redevelopment Authority and Collins' administration supervised the construction of the Prudential Center complex and of Government Center.

When Collins lost his campaign for Massachusetts Attorney General in 1954, only one new private office building had appeared on the city skyline since 1929. One in five of the city's housing units were classified as dilapidated or deteriorating and the city was ranked lowest among major cities in building starts, while the only growing industries in the city were government and universities (leading to a narrowing tax base) and the city already had a higher number of municipal employees per capita than any major city in the United States. Urban renewal would affect 3,223 acres of the city, be highly profitable for the city's business community, and by the 1970s, led to Boston having the fourth-largest central-business-district office space in the United States as well as the highest construction rates. However, the city would lose more dwelling units than it would gain during the 1960s as Collins' budget priorities led to a decrease in city services outside of downtown, particularly parks, playgrounds, and schools in residential neighborhoods, and would often displace poor blacks and whites into neighborhoods with higher rents.

In March 1965, an investigative study of property tax assessment practices published by the National Tax Association of 13,769 properties sold within the City of Boston from January 1, 1960, to March 31, 1964, found that the assessed values in the neighborhood of Roxbury in 1962 were at 68 percent of market values while the assessed values in West Roxbury were at 41 percent of market values, and the researchers could not find a nonracial explanation for the difference. In 1963, the city government broke ground on a new city hall and surrounding plaza in Scollay Square. In the same year, Collins and Edward Logue organized a consortium of savings banks, cooperatives, and federal and state savings and loan associations in the city called the Boston Banks Urban Renewal Group (B-BURG) that would provide $2.5 million in Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured rehabilitation and home-ownership loans at less than 5.25% interest in Washington Park around Dudley Square in Roxbury. From 1968 through 1970, B-BURG would reverse redline census tracts in Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan along Blue Hill Avenue.

In the mid-1960s, Carl Ericson, Vice President of the Suffolk Franklin Savings Bank (a B-BURG member institution), began making loans to white professionals in the South End, causing displacement of the decades-old local black population into North Dorchester. In 1964, the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) organized 21 black families in the city's first rent strike, and in 1965, CORE distributed a list of property owners in the city in violation of state and city building codes. In the summer of 1967, FHA Executive Assistant Commissioner Edwin G. Callahan conducted a suitability tour for a 2,000-unit housing rehabilitation program in Roxbury called the Boston Rehabilitation Program (BURP). At a press conference at Freedom House in Roxbury on December 3, 1967, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Robert C. Weaver announced the $24.5 million program. On March 20, 1968, a $996,000 FHA commitment was made through the Boston Rehabilitation Program (BURP) to the Sanders Associates (a housing development group created by Boston Celtics forward Tom Sanders in response to a search led by local energy business executive Eli Goldston) for the rehabilitation of 83 units in Roxbury after local community activists (including Mel King) criticized BURP for a lack of sufficient community control and racial equity.

Public housing

In May 1962, Boston NAACP President Melnea Cass filed a formal complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination alleging a pattern of discrimination in public housing in the city, citing that the Mission Hill Extension project went from 314 nonwhite families in 1957 to 492 nonwhite families of 572 units in 1961 while the Mission Hill project remained all-white. In the same year, upon receipt of a lawsuit filed by a civil rights group, the West Broadway Housing Development was desegregated after having been designated by the city for white-only occupancy since 1941. Despite the passage of legislation in 1950 by the 156th Massachusetts General Court prohibiting racial discrimination or segregation in housing, under Public Housing Administration regulations, a public housing authority could designate projects as integrated even if it housed only one nonwhite tenant.

In September 1962, 17 of the 25 public housing developments for families and all 5 elderly-only developments were collectively 99 percent white, while 4 of the 8 remaining family developments were 93 percent nonwhite and the other 4 located in Roxbury, the South End, Jamaica Plain, and Columbia Point were becoming increasingly nonwhite. When the Columbia Point development first opened in 1953, white tenants made up more than 90 percent of the population while black families made up approximately 7 percent, but by the early 1960s, white families started refusing assignment there and the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) reserved developments in South Boston for them instead, while moving black families to Columbia Point. Also in September 1962, the city's federally funded developments were highly segregated, and of the 3,686 state-funded units, only 129 were occupied by whites and two-thirds of nonwhites in state-sponsored units were living in an all-black development adjacent to the all-black Lenox Street Projects.

On November 20, 1962, President Kennedy issued Executive Order 11063 requiring all federal agencies to prevent racial discrimination in federally funded subsidized housing in the United States. On February 28, 1963, Collins met with President Kennedy at the White House. Despite continuing to make efforts to sustain segregation in the city's public housing developments, Collins appointed Ellis Ash, Edward Logue's deputy at the Boston Redevelopment Authority, to be the acting Administrator of the BHA in May 1963 and Ash later noted that though Collins opposed integration he believed it was inevitable. In 1964, all 852 Old Colony Housing Project units had white tenants, only 1 of the 1,010 Mission Hill units had a nonwhite tenant, while the Mission Hill Extension project had 509 nonwhite tenants of 580 units, and 220 of the 1,392 Columbia Point units had nonwhite tenants (or approximately 16 percent).

In 1967, the city government agreed to fully desegregate the Mission Hill and Mission Hill Extension developments, which were still 97 percent white and 98 percent black respectively, while 8 projects in the city as a whole remained more than 95 percent white and 5 others remained 90 percent white and nonwhites made up the majority of the waiting list. Despite Ellis Ash's appointment, the BHA Board Chair retained effective control over tenant assignment until 1968, and BHA Board Chair Edward Hassan (1960–1965), a Collins appointee, also opposed integration. Ash would continue to receive bureaucratic resistance against integration from the Board and BHA departments through at least 1966, as well as from state officials when attempting to desegregate the state's Chapter 200 public housing program in 1964.

Also in 1963, the Congress of Racial Equality requested comments from the BHA Board with allegations of discrimination by family composition and source of income in rejecting applications from mothers with illegitimate children or who were receiving Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) payments. The non-marital birthrate among whites and nonwhites nationally rose from 2 percent and 17 percent respectively in 1940 (5 years after ADC was created under the Social Security Act signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935) to 4 percent and 26 percent respectively when the Moynihan Report was published in March 1965.

In November 1965, under new BHA chair Jacob Brier, the BHA adopted new Occupancy Standards to replace a set of 15 exclusionary criteria while continuing to allow the board to screen tenants using the previous criteria. Screened applications were referred to a Tenant and Community Relations Department staffed by social workers, and while the majority of the referrals remained for out-of-wedlock births, of the first 297 referrals the new department received only 14 (less than 5 percent) were denied. On April 11, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1968 including Titles VIII and IX introduced by Massachusetts U.S. Senator Edward Brooke prohibiting discrimination in the sale or rental of housing.

UMass Boston and Boston Public Schools

On June 18, 1964, Massachusetts Governor Endicott Peabody signed into law the bill establishing the University of Massachusetts Boston, and in September 1965, undergraduate courses began at the former headquarters of the Boston Gas Company in Park Square. In August 1965, Collins publicly requested that UMass Boston Chancellor John W. Ryan not consider a permanent campus at its current site in Park Square or elsewhere in Downtown Boston (as a disproportionate amount of the real estate there was already owned by many colleges and other non-profit institutions exempt from the city government's property taxes), and to move to a suburban campus or one located in an underdeveloped section of Roxbury instead, while University of Massachusetts President John W. Lederle insisted on a campus inside the city limits.

In May 1966, following organized opposition from residents, Collins spoke with Chancellor Ryan and a proposal to locate the UMass Boston campus near Highland Park was cancelled. In 1967, the Boston Redevelopment Authority proposed locating the campus permanently at a former landfill on the Columbia Point peninsula closed in 1963. In response, in November 1967, 1,500 faculty and students organized a rally on Boston Common demanding a location in Copley Square. Over multiple counterproposals from Chancellors Ryan and Francis L. Broderick and at the public urging of Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives Robert H. Quinn, Massachusetts Senate Majority Leader Kevin B. Harrington, and State Senator George V. Kenneally Jr., the UMass Board of Trustees voted 12 to 4 to accept the Columbia Point campus proposal from the BRA in December 1968 and the university would move to the campus in January 1974.

On April 1, 1965, a special committee appointed by Massachusetts Education Commissioner Owen Kiernan released its final report finding that more than half of black students enrolled in Boston Public Schools (BPS) attended institutions with enrollments that were at least 80 percent black and that housing segregation in the city had caused the racial imbalance. From its creation under the National Housing Act of 1934 signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Federal Housing Administration used its official mortgage insurance underwriting policy explicitly to prevent school desegregation. In response, on April 20, the Boston NAACP filed a lawsuit in federal district court against the city seeking the desegregation of the city's public schools. Massachusetts Governor John Volpe filed a request for legislation from the state legislature that defined schools with nonwhite enrollments greater than 50 percent to be imbalanced and granted the State Board of Education the power to withhold state funds from any school district in the state that was found to have racial imbalance, which Volpe would sign into law the following August.

Also in August 1965, along with Governor Volpe and BPS Superintendent William H. Ohrenberger, Collins opposed and warned the Boston School Committee that a vote that they held that month to abandon a proposal to bus several hundred blacks students from Roxbury and North Dorchester from three overcrowded schools to nearby schools in Dorchester and Brighton, and purchase an abandoned Hebrew school in Dorchester to relieve the overcrowding instead, could now be held by a court to be deliberate acts of segregation. Pursuant to the Racial Imbalance Act, the state conducted a racial census and found 55 imbalanced schools in the state with 46 in Boston, and in October 1965, the State Board required the School Committee to submit a desegregation plan, which the School Committee did the following December.

In April 1966, the State Board found the plan inadequate and voted to rescind state aid to the district, and in response, the School Committee filed a lawsuit against the State Board challenging both the decision and the constitutionality of the Racial Imbalance Act the following August. In January 1967, the Massachusetts Superior Court overturned a Suffolk Superior Court ruling that the State Board had improperly withdrawn the funds and ordered the School Committee to submit an acceptable plan to the State Board within 90 days or else permanently lose funding, which the School Committee did shortly thereafter and the State Board accepted. In June 1967, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld the constitutionality of the Racial Imbalance Act and the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren (1953–1969) declined to hear the School Committee's appeal in January 1968.

Grove Hall riots and race relations

In April 1962, Collins' administrative staff described protests in Columbia Point following a six-year-old girl being run over and killed by a dump truck operated by a negligent city government employee as "interracial riots." In response to the Boston NAACP complaint in May 1962 to the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, the Boston Housing Authority rented a single apartment to an elderly black woman in the Mission Hill development which was stoned over two consecutive nights, and Collins aides scuttled a formal probe of the incident by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office. Amidst growing urban race rioting in the United States, in December 1965, the American Sociological Review published a survey conducted by sociologists Stanley Lieberson and Arnold R. Silverman of 76 black-white race riots in the United States from 1913 to 1963 and found that riots were more common in cities with smaller percentages of blacks who were store owners, smaller proportions of blacks on the city police force relative to the local black population, and where the population per city councilor was larger or where city councilors were elected at-large rather than by ward.

In 1949, an amendment to the city charter reduced membership on the Boston City Council from 22 seats elected by ward down to 9 seats elected by citywide at-large elections, and in 1951, the only African American sitting on the City Council, Laurence H. Banks of Roxbury (a former member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives) lost re-election, and no African Americans would serve on the City Council until the election of Thomas Atkins in 1967. From 1960 to 1970, the ratio of Boston's population that was black grew from 9 percent to 16 percent, as part of the second wave of the African-American Great Migration (1916–1970), while the total population of the city declined from approximately 697,000 to 641,000. As late as 1970, less than 3 percent of Boston Police Department officers were black, and 70 percent of black men in the city were employed as manual workers in comparison to slightly less than half of white men, and as in 1950, black men earned only three-quarters of what their white counterparts did.

On January 15, 1961, American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell and a fellow Nazi Party member attempted to picket the local premiere of the film Exodus at the Saxon Theatre on Tremont Street in Downtown Boston while staying at the Hotel Touraine across the street. After Collins declined to deny Rockwell the right to picket, members of the local Jewish community organized a counterdemonstration of 2,000 protestors in response on the corner of Tremont and Boylston Streets on the day of the premiere, which forced police to converge on the theater and force Rockwell into a police cruiser that took him to Logan International Airport where Rockwell was then boarded onto a flight to Washington, DC. On April 23, 1965, after leading a march from Roxbury to Boston Common and giving speeches at both locations, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. met with Collins in an informal after-hours meeting along with Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Rev. Virgil Wood (the regional representative of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and former pastor at the Diamond Hill Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia). On May 22, 1966, Collins declared the 142nd day of the year as "Melnea Cass Day" in the city in honor of Boston NAACP President Melnea Cass.

On April 26, 1965, the recently formed Mothers for Adequate Welfare (MAW) organized a sit-in at the Welfare Department Office on Hawkins Street, marched on the Massachusetts State House in July 1966 and organized a subsequent sit-in at a welfare office on Blue Hill Avenue on May 26, 1967. On Friday, June 2, during a summer when 159 race riots occurred across the United States, 25 white and black MAW members and a contingent of college students arrived at the Grove Hall welfare office at 4:20 PM, presented a list of 10 demands, and chained the doors from the inside, preventing 58 office employees from leaving. At 4:45 PM, fire and police arrived while a crowd grew outside, and upon receiving a call that an office worker was having heart trouble, Collins ordered the police to enter by any means possible, remove the workers, and arrest the protestors.

By 5:30 PM, police had entered the rear of the facility, and a woman appeared at a window screaming that the police were beating people inside. By 8:10 PM, the police had emptied the building, while the crowd had begun throwing missiles at the police and then migrated from Grove Hall across nearly 15 blocks of Blue Hill Avenue. By 9:30 PM, 30 people had been seriously injured and more than $500,000 in property damage had been committed. By 4:30 AM, arsonists had destroyed two buildings (with damage estimated at $50,000), police had made 44 arrests, and the injured numbered 45. The following morning, Saturday, June 3, MAW stated that a deputy superintendent said, "get them, beat them, use clubs if you have to, but get them out of here," with one mother described being "beaten, kicked, dragged, abused, insulted and brutalized" by police who used "vulgar language" and repeated the word "nigger," while Deputy Superintendent William A. Bradley stated, "The demonstrators refused to move. … As officers tried to break in, they were kicked, beaten, thrown to the floor and cut with glass."

Collins called the demonstration, "the worst manifestation of disrespect for the rights of others that this city has ever seen." Collins ordered the Boston Police Department to close all bars and liquor stores on Blue Hill Avenue, but by 10:30 PM, fire alarms were being falsely set off, and unplanned spontaneous outbursts of violence occurred among roving gangs in Roxbury through the night. On the evening of Sunday, June 4, 1,900 police were called in to quell further rioting and looting in the Grove Hall area, making 11 arrests, and with 11 more being injured. On Monday, June 5, violence began subsiding with only sporadic outbursts, and on Tuesday, June 6, 60 fire alarms were falsely set off while no violence occurred. Collins and the Boston Police Department attributed the violence to a criminal element among the rioters rather than race relations in the city.

1966 U.S. Senate campaign

In 1966, Collins ran for the United States Senate seat being vacated by the retiring former Senate Republican Conference Whip Leverett Saltonstall, but lost in the primary to former Massachusetts Governor Endicott Peabody (who in turn would lose to Massachusetts Attorney General Edward Brooke). Despite receiving 42 percent of the vote statewide, Collins lost 21 out of Boston's 22 wards. Weakened politically, Collins declined to seek reelection in 1967 and was succeeded by Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth Kevin White.

Retirement and legacy
After leaving office in 1968, Collins held visiting and consulting professorships at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for 13 years. In the early 1970s, Collins drifted away from the Democratic Party. He chaired the group Massachusetts Democrats and Independents for Nixon and, in 1972, attacked Democrats for "their crazy policies of social engineering and abortion." Collins was considered for the position of Secretary of Commerce in the Nixon administration.

Death and burial
Collins died of pneumonia in Boston, on November 23, 1995. Five days later, he was buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in West Roxbury following a funeral Mass at Boston's Holy Cross Cathedral celebrated by Cardinal Bernard Francis Law, Archbishop of Catholic Archdiocese of Boston (1984–2002). The Associated Press obituary noted that the urban renewal policies Collins implemented in Boston were emulated across the United States. In 2004, the city government commissioned a mural of Collins on the exterior of Boston City Hall adjacent to Government Center station and dedicated City Hall Plaza to him as well.

Talk:Also sprach Zarathustra

Requested move 8 November 2022

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian (talk) 18:46, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Also sprach Zarathustra → Thus Spoke Zarathustra (musical work) – I did a double take when I saw the musical work popping up under Also sprach Zarathustra, while Nietzsche's work on which it was based came up us Thus Spoke Zarathustra. By any measure both the book and the musical work are both "Thus Spoke/Spake Zarathustra" in English and "Also sprach Zarathustra" in German, and the current setup seems to simply arbitrarily name the musical work in German and the book in English. However, a simple Google Scholar test shows that the musical work is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Also sprach Zarathustra - of the 19,100 hits I got for the term, 14,400 hits remained with "Strauss" removed, compared to just 3,220 hits with "Nietzsche" removed - the obvious implication being that the work title of Also sprach Zarathustra is held in considerably greater association with Nietzsche than it is with Strauss. I would personally expect both Thus Spoke/Spake Zarathustra and "Also sprach Zarathustra" to direct first to the work by Nietzsche with hatnotes pointing to the musical work by Strauss. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:51, 8 November 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Addendum: I didn't add this initially, because I didn't want to complicate the discussion, but this move to make way for a disambiguation seemed like the obvious alternative outcome in case of no agreement over whether Nietzsche's book had a stronger claim to the title, and this no agreement on a primary topic. But Strauss' work is clearly not the primary topic. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:02, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Strongly Oppose: The composition by Strauss is universally referred to as "Also sprach Zarathustra" in English. A quick Google search of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra strauss" will confirm this. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 12:51, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Eldomtom2: That search produces a mere fraction (a tenth) of the results that you get when you search "Thus Spoke Zarathustra Nietzsche". Iskandar323 (talk) 13:23, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ngrams confirms a similar if less dramatic pattern - for sure it can be said that the Strauss work is in no way the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:25, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You missed my point. My point was that searching "Thus Spoke Zarathustra strauss" brings up pages referring to the work by Strauss as "Also sprach Zarathustra". It does not bring up pages calling it "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". This is even more pronounced on Google Scholar - "Thus Spoke Zarathustra strauss" brings up papers on the philosopher Leo Strauss, while searching for "Also sprach Zarathustra strauss" brings up papers on the composition by Richard Strauss.--Eldomtom2 (talk) 13:46, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Surely that just shows that in the case of the Strauss work, the German is more prevalently used, not that it has greater claim to the title? I don't really mind if the disambiguation is in English or German. If that's the only problem then I am equally happy with Also sprach Zarathustra (musical work). I simply defaulted to English. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:09, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * For clarity, are you arguing to move Also sprach Zarathustra (disambiguation) to Also sprach Zarathustra?--Eldomtom2 (talk) 18:29, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, you should probably look at the discussion on this topic that happened three years ago. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 13:50, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The German version is far, far commoner. I understand the point about it not necessarily being the primary topic, but that's another discussion. It certainly should not be moved to its English translation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:57, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Necrothesp: Q: How and in what format do you start a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC discussion? I've only ever seen that discussed within an RM context. And wouldn't the process be the same? This page would need to move to some sort of title with a parenthetical disambiguate to pave the way for a disambiguation page to be created. Aren't the issues the same? Iskandar323 (talk) 14:58, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Strongly oppose: Whether or not one agrees with the inconsistency in this usage, the fact remains that Also sprach Zarathustra is the most commonly used name in English when referring to the Strauss tone poem. This is hardly a unique case. For example, I have never heard one of his major late works referred to as "Metamorphoses," even though that would be its English translation. Nor does usage typically prefer The Sea, The Woeful Song, Clowns, and so on even though that would make more sense. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 20:33, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Reformed fundamentalism

Beginning
To anyone who runs across this article. Please help me by expanding. If you know of any factualy traits you have observed that might be characteristic of Reformed fundamentalists, please add them to this article.

Ewww...
This subject looks pretty gruesome to me (as a Wesleyan evangelical). BUT...you may want to contact Flex, Jim Ellis, and Mkmcconn, the Three Reformed Stooges Wise Men of Wikipedia, who are ga ga over all things Calvinist. Good to have you around...feel free to jump into our Calvinism vs. Methodism dialogues. KHM03 20:12, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Distinctive use of terms
I can't help feeling that the article uses the terms, "Reformed" and "Fundamentalism" in a synthetic way (Reformed + censoriousness). There is such a thing as "Reformed Fundamentalism", as represented by Carl McIntire or Ian Paisley; however, this article does not describe groups or movements, but rather an idea, or rather, a critical personal opinion directed toward an anonymous group.

Note that the article does not specify any names (if it did, it might be considered libelous, wouldn't it?), it does not cite any source (although I'm sure that there are many who believe that Calvinists are capable of having both, strong and incorrect opinions, and overly-harsh views), and discovers fault fault by insinuating that the targeted Christians have deviated from some unmentioned standard of moderation. Let me see what I might find just in the first bullet-point, as an example:

— how shall we decide what is an "over" emphasis? — I'm not sure, frankly, who would say this but let's say that I would. I believe that God had mercy on me, despite the fact that I am not deserving. I become more convinced of this every day. I didn't always believe this way. When I didn't, I wasn't as converted as I am now. — Of course. However, our Wesleyan or Arminian friends do not regard my views as a true understanding of the Gospel, either.
 * There may be an over emphasis
 * on the belief in predestination or election as a prerequisite to a true conversion experience.
 * Some may not consider those holding to Arminian or Wesleyan theology as truly understanding the gospel.

I'm guilty, I guess. If a Reformed believer strays from the mean of broader evangelicalism, and professes a conviniced faith according to the Reformed Christian confessions of faith, he will have wandered into the cross-hairs of this article's censorious aim. It is simply a personal essay. I've written a few of those myself; but they are eventually heavily edited for suitability, or deleted. So should this be, and speedily so.

WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, No personal essays. No propaganda. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 00:53, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Not Surprised
It might surprise you that this article was written by a convinced Calvinist who would defend the 5 points and the Reformed confessions. In response to your point that the essay is about "an idea" rather than about any specific group, or about some "anonymous group", I would point out that fundamentalism itself is a phenomenon that is observed in many denominations. Articles have been written about Catholic fundamentalism, why can't the phenomenon exist in Reformed churches as well?

 * It doesn't surprise me at all that you are a Calvinist (I peeked). There is no reason not to write about Reformed fundamentalism - the article in its present form gives a better start toward doing that, than the one that it replaces.  The issue is, what is a Reformed fundamentalist - neutrally, sociologically?  Where does Reformed Fundamentalism reside in the spectrum of the Reformed churches?  Who are their leaders? Who are their scholars? Who speaks for Reformed Fundamentalism?  Can you point to books that defend it under that name?

 * The article was a critical essay based on personal observations (as I said, I don't have a problem with that for a start - but articles can't remain in that form).  If you're going to call all traditionalists "Fundamentalists", it will likely be in the derogatory and pejorative sense that you use this term; however, I will support a neutral article (the link you have points to Traditionalist Catholic, by the way - a more proper and neutral name for a documentable movement, and a respectable model for the article that should be written under this topic).  — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 03:31, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It all seems pretty ghastly to me. ;)  KHM03 11:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Proposals
Actually, I find your comments helpful. So let me come up with some proposals to expand this article. I would suggest the following subtopics where I think we can stay fair and factual. I admit the term "fundamentalist" is very problematic. Some would call me a fundamentalist because I believe in an ordinary 6 day creation, not to the framework hypothesis. So you are right. Traditionalism does not mean fundamentalism. I would consider myself a traditionalist, but not a fundamentalist (though I grew up in a "Bible" church that proudly called itself fundamentalist). We can reword these topics. Please suggest others that might apply. Gregory Y 15:40:43, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * List of Common beliefs shared with Christian fundamentalism
 * Distinctives that make these fundamentalists "Reformed" (
 * Sociological characteristics (i.e. standards of piety and behavior)
 * We have two articles on Wikipedia, illustrating the two different ways that this term, Fundamentalism, is used. Under Christian fundamentalism the editors have tried to use the term in a very narrow sense, to refer to the Christian, evangelical movement that began at the end of the 19th century, which tried to re-assert supernaturalism as a fundamental aspect of Christian faith, and which later became a distinct and separate movement of its own.  This article only applies the label to those groups that use it to describe themselves, as you used it when you were growing up in the Bible church.
 * The Fundamentalism article takes a very different, broad approach. Although it begins by noting that Fundamentalism has a scholarly use, even these scholars apply the term without regard for whether those so described strongly object to the label, or not.  This article also illustrates how people have begun to use the term to express their own unreasoning bigotry toward almost anyone with convictions stronger or different from their own, about virtually any issue under the sun.  It's fun to google for atheistic fundamentalism, etc.  But, it is not a scholarly use of the term; it's a short-hand way of saying, "tyrannical", "mean-spirited", "narrow", "rigid", and (ironically) "censorious". Lately, because of associations with Islamic revolutions and suicide-bombing,  the word now has come to have colorations of "violent" and "irreconcilable", even when the so-called fundamentalism concerns the most the innocuous subjects, as in open source fundamentalism!.
 * I think it's quite clear that the first approach is the most solidly reliable, which normally only uses the term to describe those who use it for themselves. The second use of the term is less reliable, and is proving difficult to control, which uses it for the purposes of comparative religion only.  But anyone who uses the term in the broadest way (as a criticism) is attempting to use the wild-fire of hatred to shed light on an issue.  It can't be done.
 * When using any ambiguous term (especially one so easily mis-used), it's important to make the sense absolutely clear if the editors allow the use of more than one sense through the course of the article. Do you agree? — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 17:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Is that really the correct name?
I had never come across the term, and on the face of it, "reformed fundamentalism" can only mean: fundamentalism that has reformed itself, becoming less fundamentalistic. So the exact opposite of what it intends to mean. These shorthand forms can sound very strange. Would "Protestant fundamentalism" be something else? It's less likely that one would imagine protesting fundamentalists when hearing it. Although they always are. Arminden (talk) 12:52, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Reformed refers to Calvinism (also called the Reformed tradition or Reformed Protestantism).Editor2020 (talk) 22:50, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Original research
A significant portion of this article is already unsourced, with the majority of recent edits simply compounding that problem by adding new material or significantly changing existing material without including sources. As for the current sources, most of them are primary, with only a few secondary sources. If the best we can come up with is an article that is based only a few mostly primary sources, then this article is original research (OR) and fails to meet notability guidelines (GNG). New material needs to be cited, and those sources need to be secondary in nature. Please review WP:NOR & WP:GNG. Butler Blog  (talk) 00:14, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Saniel Bonder
Not notable. Richard W.M. Jones 23:02, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, a borderline A7 speedy. -Splash 03:06, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Certainly to be expanded. Bonder is/was a longtime devotee of Adi Da Samraj, and I would like to see more info on him, not have the article gone ! Intersofia 05:27, 19 August 2005 (UTC) Note: simple Google of "saniel bonder" yields over 1000 hits
 * As was pointed out on the talk page, this guy is very good at self-promotion, but this article is still not notable. I get far more hits on Google than this person, but I'm definitely not a candidate for a Wikipedia article. Richard W.M. Jones 09:02, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Is the article not notable, or are you saying that Saniel Bonder is not notable ? If the article seems a little light, it is. It's a stub. That's what stubs are. They need further information, etc. But clipping them because they are small is IMHO not the way to go. I have taken note of Bonder a while back, and think it's great that someone commenced an article on him. I hope that the existence of the stub will invite more people who know about him to contribute. I invite you to take note of him so your point of view becomes that he is notable.

 * Keep, of course. Published author noted by bestselling authors Deepak Chopra and Ken Wilber. Controversial enough for his sixth google hit to be entitled "Saniel Bonder: Deluded And Brainwashed Scribe For The Great Da" Formerly Adi Da's official biographer, now apostate. Richard W.M. Jones' fame or lack thereof is irrelevant. --goethean ॐ 14:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Ghaur

Ghaur is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. In the Marvel Universe, he is the head of the Deviant race's priesthood.

Publication history
Created by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema, he first appeared in The Eternals vol. 2 #2 (Nov. 1985).

Fictional character biography
Ghaur was born in the "City of Toads" in Deviant Lemuria. He grew up to become a high priest in the Deviant priesthood, but had ambition to be much more. He had Ranar the Deviant killed when Ranar claimed succession to the Deviant throne. Ghaur became the unofficial leader of the Deviants. He had a confrontation with Warlord Kro, whom Ghaur allowed to become a figurehead monarch. Ghaur captured Kro, and the Eternals Thena and Sersi. He revealed to Kro that he had amassed an army of Deviants in suspended animation. Ghaur used a vial containing part of the "essence" of the "Dreaming Celestial" to transform himself into a Celestial. However, Ghaur fell under the mental control of the Dreaming Celestial, who forced Ghaur to try to free him from his tomb. Ghaur's consciousness was separated from his Celestial body by a Uni-Mind composed of the Eternals and the West Coast Avengers. Ghaur's consciousness seemingly dissipated, and Ghaur's Celestial body shrank into apparent nothingness.

Ghaur later tricked the Silver Surfer into re-creating his physical form. Ghaur battled the Silver Surfer and freed the Lemurian supervillainess Llyra from captivity. Ghaur formed an alliance with Llyra to recreate the Serpent Crown. They formed an alliance with Attuma, and freed Tyrannus from the body of the Abomination. Ghaur and Llyra caused the devastation of Atlantis as a sacrifice to serpent god Set. Ghaur and Llyra assembled the seven "Brides of Set," and used them to bring Set to Earth. They were thwarted by a Thor-possessed Demogorge. Ghaur sought to slay the "Brides" to bring Set back to Earth, but was foiled by Naga.

Later, Kro led a group of heroic Deviants known as the Delta Network to rescue the Avengers from a resurrected Ghaur, who used his powers to control the deviants once more. Ghaur and the Deviants fought the Eternals and the Heroes for Hire when the mad priest crested an Anti-mind in his plan to rule the world and defy the Celestials. Despite the destruction of infrastructure, Ghaur remained as the leader of the Deviants and kept the ability to create an Anti-Mind. Kro and Ghaur formed bickering factions and kept the struggle for power in Deviant Lemuria. The external world didn't know who was in charge. Ghaur threatened Wakanda with war if a Deviant child was not returned to Lemuria custody. In the aftermath of the diplomatic crisis, it was revealed that the child was Ghaur's daughter and that he was feeling threatened in his position as Priestlord because his daughter was a Reject, a human-like child. The child was declared officially dead, and continued to live in Wakanda.

Much later, the Deviants males were rendered sterile by a plague and a power contest between Ereshkigal and Ghaur happened. Ghaur won when he promised the deviants the return of the fertility with the help of the kidnapped Eternal Phastos. The Asgardian god Thor rescued Phastos and battled Ghaur. When the Unbiding stone was destroyed, Ghaur and Ereshkigal disappeared and Kro was left leading the Deviants.

Powers and abilities
Ghaur is the result of crossbreeding of his forebears supervised by Deviant priests trained in genetics over centuries. His superhuman powers include the psionic ability to manipulate the minds and actions of any other Deviant whose genetic code is known to him. Since he also has a photographic memory, that effectively means every Deviant in existence, with the sole exception of the Warlord Kro and Ransak the Reject.

Ghaur has a gifted intellect, and is a master politician and cunning strategist.

Deviant scientists have supplied him with "Brain Mines", which can render even an Eternal unconscious, bracelets containing cybernetic circuitry which paralyze the wearer's will (turning the wearer into a slave), and various Deviant vehicles.

Ghaur briefly possessed the body and attributes of a Celestial, but lost most of those powers upon returning to his original form. He retained a degree of superhuman strength and durability, the ability to survive without oxygen, and low level energy manipulation powers for a short time but then lost these superhuman powers entirely.

Talk:Disco Inferno (band)

Disco Inferno were ceaselessly innovative and adored by critics. They were possibly the only band brave enough to take up the gauntlet thrown down in the late Eighties by pioneers like The Young Gods, Loop and My Bloody Valentine. "We were the only guitar band that took on technology and stayed a guitar band," commented Ian Crause. Moreover, where their forebears eventually found themselves mired in esoteric concerns or self-destructive perfectionism, Disco Inferno produced three albums' worth of consistently evolving, challenging music. Indeed, more even than the Young Gods - whose use of technology always seemed curiously futurist - Disco Inferno's music soundtracked the great, inconsolable vistas of the future. Anyone could pick out the reference points - Joy Division / early New Order; the taut, fractured, spiralling guitar of early U2; even Public Enemy and The Byrds - but the music remained essentially out of time. Eventually though, thoroughly disheartened by commercial indifference, the band imploded - tired, it seemed, of leading an expedition where no one wished to follow.

Formed in East London in 1989 when its members were only fifteen, the first line up also included Daniel Gish - better known as keyboard player with post-AR Kane explorers Bark Psychosis. A series of gigs in South and East London in front of largely indifferent parochial audiences honed their sound: aching guitar lines that sometimes appeared to teeter on the point of collapse; driving, stuttering drum patterns and Ian's alienated, elegiac, desolate vocal.

Reduced to a three piece by 1990, the band formed Che Records with Cheree's Nick Allport to release their own records. Their first single, Entertainment, - described as 'just about the most breathtaking, far-reaching record you'll hear this year', the equally well-received Open Doors, Closed Windows LP and the Science EP which followed it are now collected on the album In Debt (Che 4 CD), with an extra track, Broken, which had been previously released on a flexi with Ego Bruising Fanzine.

In Debt marked the end of an era: fired by the machine gun soundscapes of Public Enemy, the band embraced technology. The 1992 single Summer's Last Sound marked the move from Che to Cheree proper. The label collapsed in early 1993. The record - a Melody Maker Single of the Week - was an extraordinary swansong. Combining shimmering arpeggios, birdsong, dislocated melodies and murmured voices, it was a glistening statement of intent. "The technical possibilities were available to anyone ," Ian says now, "anyone who had the guts to go out and buy the equipment could do it."

Rescued by Rough Trade, the band released the appropriately titled A Rock To Cling To single to enormous acclaim. The Last Dance followed in May 1994. Writing in Melody Maker, Taylor Parkes hymned "the extremes of beauty and despair… they sound like drowning, the noise in side the womb as the mother turns cartwheels." The album it preceded - the cheekily titled D.I. Go Pop - was recorded in early 1993 but not released until a year later. Here the most fragile of melodies wrestled with dense, harsh soundscapes created from samples of - for example - breaking glass and running water, looped and beaten till they bled. Ian had wanted the samples to be integral to the music rather then simply set-dressing: "I wanted to use samples as a narrative device." Disoriented and disorientating, the album provoked ecstatic reviews: "D.I. Go Pop is the proverbial dog's bollocks,' wrote James Robert in the NME, "Fuck it, I'm addicted, let's do it again".

The Second Language and It's A Kid's World EP's grew out of early sessions for the band's follow-up. "No other band can make you feel so scarily alive," wrote Neil Kulkarni in Melody Maker of Second Language. Kid's World sampled the opening drum riff from Iggy Pop's Lust for Life to delirious effect and then… Well, the rest was not quite silence.

During the recording of Technicolour, the band made a 'conscious decision to become more accessible'. Paul's love of Scott Walker and The Beach Boys and Ian's fondness for The Smiths, Kraftwerk, the twelve string Richenbacher REM sound and - perhaps surprisingly - the vast production Owen Morris had given Oasis had resulted in a more open, melodic Disco Inferno. More than ever, they were pulling pop music into strange and lovely new shapes.

But the problems created by several years of minimal sales began to take their toll. It seemed that there was no place for the avant garde in the rapidly changing 'indie-rock' marketplace. On top of this, there had been arguments within the band over publishing and Ian and Paul hadn't spoken for six months. Despite having just recorded possibly their best work, they split. In the short time between finishing Technicolour and the split, Ian had produced - in a feverish two weeks of writing - half an album's worth of new material. He'd also devised a way of creating a 3-D recording - a system of microphones which would create fields of sound which could move in and out of each other. Sadly, none of this would be released. Technicolour slipped into limbo. They had formed to prove it was still possible to be original; now the brightest, bravest and best had been crushed on the brink of what might have been their greatest innovation.

Paul and Ian did not resolve their differences. Ian and Rob will be playing with their new band Floorshow later this year. Looking back now, Ian says "That amount of failure has changed me as a person. It's made me more cynical, more cautious." He pauses. "Those songs are just simple pictures, a five year old child's crayon drawing. They have a cartoon quality… it's not real."

Theft
I remember reading long ago that one factor contributing to the band's split was theft - their sampling gear was stolen during a tour, and they were unable to continue. They were still paying off the loan they took out to buy the samplers, which were very expensive at the time. There are references to this on Ilxor but I can't find a good source. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Disco Inferno (band)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Disco Inferno (band)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "pitchfork": From D. I. Go Pop:  From 69 (album):

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:09, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

David Lansana

Brigadier David Lansana (22 March 1922 – 19 July 1975 ) was the first prominent Sierra Leonean in the Sierra Leone Military during the colonial era. After Sierra Leone gained independence, he served as Military Attaché to the United States.

Lansana was one of the most distinguished officers in the history of the Sierra Leone Armed Forces. He was one of the first Sierra Leoneans to train at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Berkshire, United Kingdom.

Through his marriage to Komeh Gulama Lansana, the daughter of Paramount Chief Julius Gulama of Kaiyamba Chiefdom, Lansana was therefore a relative of Paramount Chief Ella Koblo Gulama and her husband Paramount Chief Bai Koblo Pathbana II, two of the nation's most influential politicians.

On 21 March 1967, Lansana staged Sierra Leone's first coup d'état. Lansana was charged with treason, tried and found guilty. He was executed on 19 July 1975.

Early life and education
Lansana was born on 22 March 1922 in Baiima, Mandu Chiefdom, Kailahun District, British Sierra Leone. He was a Mende.

In 1947, he enlisted as a private and began his training in the Sierra Leone Army. Lansana was the bearer of Sierra Leone's colours during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

Royal Military Academy Sandhurst
Lansana was one of a small, elite group of Sierra Leoneans to be educated and trained at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Berkshire, United Kingdom during the colonial period.

As a Lieutenant, he was a frequent and popular visitor to the home of Sir Robert de Zouche Hall, Governor of Sierra Leone from 1952 to 1956.

Marriage and family
He was married to Komeh Gulama Lansana, the daughter of Paramount Chief Julius Gulama of Kaiyamba Chiefdom and Madame Lucy Gulama. The Gulamas are Mende royalty and among the most important ruling families in Sierra Leone.

His father-in-law was a founding member of the Sierra Leone People's Party, the first and oldest political party in the country. His sister-in-law was Paramount Chief Ella Koblo Gulama. His brother-in-law was Paramount Chief Bai Koblo Pathbana II.

Lansana and his wife had five children Sheku, Judy, Tala, Foday, and Kornya. Lansana also had a son, Daniel, from another relationship.

Force Commander of the Sierra Leone Military
He was appointed army commander of Sierra Leone in 1964.

When his close friend and ally Prime Minister Albert Margai came to power, Brigadier Lansana took control of the army from British colonial adviser, Brigadier R.D. Blackie. Margai promoted a one-party (non-democratic) state. Both Lansana and Margai came from the Mende tribe which exacerbated existing conflicts with the northern tribes and the Krios. Northern and Krio officers were systematically purged from the armed forces.

1967 general election
On 17 March 1967, Margai was defeated in the general election. The All People's Congress (APC) won 32 seats in parliament while Margai's SLPP held on to just 28 seats.

Martial law
Sierra Leone was the first country in postcolonial Africa to hold a successful democratic election. This distinction lasted only four days. On 21 March 1967, Lansana instructed Samuel Hinga Norman to conduct the extrajudicial arrest of the new, democratically elected prime minister Siaka Stevens. The arrest took place prior to the announcement of the election result.

Lansana then seized control of Government House as well as the national radio and television channels and declared martial law in Sierra Leone.

On 22 March 1967, Lansana made a second radio broadcast reiterating his declaration of martial law. He was determined to restore Albert Margai to power.

Counter coup
Lansana's unilateral decision was unpopular with many of his fellow Mende officers who did not believe the army should be a tool of internal government. In addition to this, before the coup d'état his influence with his subordinates had been compromised by accusations of "drunkenness" and "womanizing".

On 23 March 1967, Major Charles Blake and other senior military officers relieved Lansana of his command. They established the National Reformation Council (NRC) and took control of the government.

Subsequently, Lt.-Colonel Andrew Juxon-Smith, of the Krio community, who was abroad when the coup took place, was asked to return and head the NRC military regime in 1968.

Arrest
Both Lansana and his sister-in-law Paramount Chief Ella Koblo Gulama were arrested on charges of treason and detained at Padema Road Prison. Both were charged with conspiracy with former Prime Minister Albert Margai.

The claim was based on a meeting between Gulama and Margai on 19 March 1967 in which Margai is said to have expressed his wish not to lose his office. He was said to be weighing his options, including military intervention.

Gulama was a minister without portfolio in Margai's government. She was also the hereditary ruler of Kaiyamba District, the most powerful Mende chiefdom in Sierra Leone. She reportedly advised him not to stand down from the office of prime minister in spite of the APC victory. She was also reported to have offered him her formidable support and suggested that both Margai bribe Lansana to stage a coup d'état.

The charges against Gulama could not be proven and she was released from prison after one and a half year.

Incarceration and execution
Lansana was detained at Pademba Road Prison, Freetown, Sierra Leone.

On 19 July 1975, Lansana was executed by hanging with former Minister of Finance Mohamed Forna, Lieutenant Habib Lansana Kamara, Ibrahim Bash Taqi, and Paramount Chief Bai Makarie N’silk were executed at Pademba Road Prison.

After their executions, their bodies were displayed for an hour.
