Veit Stoss was a leading German sculptor, mostly in wood, whose career covered the transition between the late Gothic and the Northern Renaissance. His style emphasized pathos and emotion, helped by his virtuoso carving of billowing drapery; it has been called "late Gothic Baroque". He had a large workshop and in addition to his own works there are a number by pupils. He is best known for the altarpiece in St. Mary's Basilica in Kraków, Poland.
Lee Ki-poong was a South Korean politician and Vice President. He was the Minister of National Defense and Mayor of Seoul. He was the leader of Liberal Party and supporter of Syngman Rhee. The Liberal Party held power from 1948 to 1960.
In March 15, 1960, South Korea held a presidential election. The Liberal Party, which included Syngman Rhee and Lee Ki-poong, won by a very wide margin and was accused of electoral fraud. As a result, the April Revolution took place in April 1960. President Rhee resigned in April 26, 1960. Lee Ki-poong's family also resigned. In April 28, 1960, in an annex of Rhee's mansion, Lee Ki-poong's first son, Lee Kang-seok shot Lee Ki-poong and his family and then killed himself in a murder–suicide.
The war on drugs is a campaign, led by the U.S. federal government, of drug prohibition, military aid, and military intervention, with the aim being the reduction of the illegal drug trade in the United States. The initiative includes a set of drug policies that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of psychoactive drugs that the participating governments and the UN have made illegal. The term was popularized by the media shortly after a press conference given on June 18, 1971, by President Richard Nixon—the day after publication of a special message from President Nixon to the Congress on Drug Abuse Prevention and Control—during which he declared drug abuse "public enemy number one". That message to the Congress included text about devoting more federal resources to the "prevention of new addicts, and the rehabilitation of those who are addicted", but that part did not receive the same public attention as the term "war on drugs". However, two years prior to this, Nixon had formally declared a "war on drugs" that would be directed toward eradication, interdiction, and incarceration.
