title: Modimo

abstract: Modimo is a creator god, supreme deity and sky deity in the traditional religion of the Sotho-Tswana people. Modimo and all its derivatives ultimately stem from the proto-Sotho-Tswana prefix *mo- which indicates personhood + *-dzimu "above, in the sky" and so Modimo can be translated to mean "the high one" or "the sky-deity" or "the one above" or "the Supreme Deity" or merely "the high god" in English. Modimo is the equivalent of the Xhosa Supreme Deity Qamata and the Zulu Supreme Deity uMvelinqangi and the Shona Supreme Deity Mwari.

# Modimo

**Modimo** (also spelt as **Molimo** in Lesotho Sesotho, and known as **Mudzimu** or **Raluvhimba** in Tshivenda and **uMlimo** or **Zimu** in Southern and Northern Ndebele) is a creator god, supreme deity and sky deity in the traditional religion of the Sotho-Tswana people. Modimo and all its derivatives ultimately stem from the proto-Sotho-Tswana prefix *\*mo-* which indicates personhood + *\*-dzimu* "above, in the sky" and so Modimo can be translated to mean "the high one" or "the sky-deity" or "the one above" or "the Supreme Deity" or merely "the high god" in English. Modimo is the equivalent of the Xhosa Supreme Deity Qamata and the Zulu Supreme Deity uMvelinqangi and the Shona Supreme Deity Mwari .

## Meaning and origins

In Sotho-Tswana cultures, the concept of Modimo is deeply rooted in traditional religious beliefs. Modimo is often ascribed feats such as the creation of the universe and is considered the highest spiritual authority. There are various other names for Modimo such as **Mmopi**, **Tlatlamatjholo** (or **Tlatlamacholo** or **Hla-Hla Macholo**), **Ramasedi** or **Rammoloki** or **Raluvhimba**. Modimo is often described as a genderless, formless, omnipresent and omnipotent maker. Modimo is the most supreme deity in a pantheon of different deities and deified ancestors, or Badimo, and mythological figures of the Sotho-Tswana people. There are various legends, stories and mythologies regarding Modimo amongst the Sotho-Tswana people.

## Beliefs, mythologies and legends

The reverence for Modimo often extends to traditional rituals and ceremonies. Many traditional practices involve prayers, songs, and offerings to seek the favor or blessings of the divine. Although Modimo is the most powerful being in the order of creation of the Sotho-Tswana religion, he is often seen as a deistic god who can be appealed to through intermediaries like the ancestors or Badimo, who are believed to be closer to Modimo in the underworld.

## Modimo in Christianity

Before the arrival of European colonizers, the various Bantu-speaking communities in Southern Africa had their own distinct spiritual beliefs and practices. The concept of a supreme being, often referred to as "Modimo" or similar names in different Bantu languages, was central to these belief systems. The supreme being was seen as the creator of the universe and the source of life.

With the advent of European colonialism in the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a significant impact on indigenous belief systems. Missionaries played a role in introducing Christianity to the region, leading to the spread of Western religious influences. However, many African communities integrated their traditional beliefs with Christianity, resulting in syncretic forms of worship.

The term "Modimo" persisted and adapted to coexist with Christianity in many cases. Some communities blended traditional practices with Christian elements, creating a syncretic belief system that incorporated aspects of both worlds. This syncretism allowed for the preservation of cultural and spiritual identity while also incorporating new religious influences.

Many people in Southern Africa continue to find meaning and cultural identity in their traditional beliefs, which include a reverence for the supreme being.

# Veritatis gaudium

***Veritatis gaudium*** (*The Joy of Truth*) is an apostolic constitution on ecclesiastical universities and faculties. It was signed by Pope Francis on 8 December 2017 and entered into force on 29 January 2018. It updates the 1979 apostolic constitution *Sapientia christiana*. The document is 87 pages in length. The new norms took legal effect on the first day of the 2018-2019 academic year or of the 2019 academic year, depending on the school year of particular institutions.

## Scope

The document deals only with ecclesiastical universities and faculties, which are distinguished from Catholic institutions of higher education generally in that they offer degrees granted by authority of the Holy See. *Ex corde ecclesiae* is not affected by the new document and remains unchanged. It replaces the norms of the apostolic constitution *Sapientia christiana*, promulgated by Pope John Paul II on 15 April 1979. The document obrogates all laws, customs, and privileges contrary to *Veritatis gaudium*.

## Structure

The first part (on "common norms") deals with the nature and purpose of ecclesiastical universities and faculties. The second part ("special norms") deals with specific norms regarding faculties of theology, canon law, and philosophy.

## Innovations

The document makes provision for "distance learning", something which had not existed at the time of *Sapientia christiana*. The document also makes provision for refugees and migrants for whom production of the requisite academic verifications would be impossible.

title: 1152 imperial election

abstract: Frederick Barbarossa was elected King of Germany on 4 March 1152 in Frankfurt am Main. Frederick's uncle, Otto of Freising, was an eyewitness and is the most important source for the 1152 election. According to him, "the entire company of the princes... from the immense extent of the transalpine realm" met in Frankfurt by early March to elect a successor to King Conrad III, who had died barely two weeks earlier at Bamberg on 15 February 1152. Only five days after his election, on 9 March, Frederick was crowned in the Aachen Chapel. The apparent quickness of the election of 1152 contrasts with those of 1125 and 1138. In his own letter to Otto of Freising listing the accomplishments of his first five years on the throne, Frederick does not mention his election, but says only that "we were anointed at Aachen and received the crown of the German realm." According to Otto, Conrad had on his deathbed designated Frederick as his choice of successor, because he knew that the princes would not elect his young son, Frederick. He then entrusted his son and the royal insignia to Frederick. Conrad's designation was not sufficient to make Frederick king or determine his election. This is shown from a diploma—D.38 in Heinrich Appelt's edition of Frederick diplomas—drawn up for Alteburg Abbey during the brief interregnum. A blank space was left for the king's name and Frederick himself was a witness to the document as Duke of Swabia. As king, he confirmed the document in December and his name was then added by a notary to the blank space. Since no document was issued during Frederick's brief time in Frankfurt, the names of those participating in his election are not directly attested and can only be inferred. The witness list of D.38 offers some evidence of those present for the negotiations or debate on Conrad's succession. Frederick's cousin Henry the Lion was among them. According to Otto, the princes choice of Frederick was unanimous. They preferred him for his proven valour and his descent from "two renowned families", the Staufer on his father's side and the Welfs on his mother's. It was thought that Frederick could bring a measure of stability of "universal advantage" to the kingdom. Frederick sent a letter—Appelt's D.5—to inform Pope Eugene III of his election. It was carried by Bishop Eberhard II of Bamberg, who has been accused of altering the text of the only copy that survives in Wibald of Stavelot's letter book.

Frederick Barbarossa was elected King of Germany on 4 March 1152 in Frankfurt am Main. Frederick's uncle, Otto of Freising, was an eyewitness and is the most important source for the 1152 election. According to him, "the entire company of the princes ... from the immense extent of the transalpine realm (as well as certain barons from Italy)" met in Frankfurt by early March to elect a successor to King Conrad III, who had died barely two weeks earlier at Bamberg on 15 February 1152. Only five days after his election, on 9 March, Frederick was crowned in the Aachen Chapel.

The apparent quickness of the election of 1152 contrasts with those of 1125 and 1138. In his own letter to Otto of Freising listing the accomplishments of his first five years on the throne, Frederick does not mention his election, but says only that "we were anointed at Aachen and received the crown of the German realm." According to Otto, Conrad had on his deathbed designated Frederick as his choice of successor, because he knew that the princes would not elect his young son, Frederick. He then entrusted his son and the royal insignia to Frederick.

Conrad's designation was not sufficient to make Frederick king or determine his election. This is shown from a diploma—D.38 in Heinrich Appelt's edition of Frederick diplomas—drawn up for Alteburg Abbey during the brief interregnum. A blank space was left for the king's name and Frederick himself was a witness to the document as Duke of Swabia. As king, he confirmed the document in December and his name was then added by a notary to the blank space. Since no document was issued during Frederick's brief time in Frankfurt, the names of those participating in his election are not directly attested and can only be inferred. The witness list of D.38 offers some evidence of those present for the negotiations or debate on Conrad's succession. Frederick's cousin Henry the Lion was among them. According to Otto, the princes choice of Frederick was unanimous. They preferred him for his proven valour and his descent from "two renowned families", the Staufer on his father's side and the Welfs on his mother's. It was thought that Frederick could bring a measure of stability of "universal advantage" to the kingdom.

Frederick sent a letter—Appelt's D.5—to inform Pope Eugene III of his election. It was carried by Bishop Eberhard II of Bamberg, who has been accused of altering the text of the only copy that survives in Wibald of Stavelot's letter book.

# Texas State Highway 26

**State Highway 26** (**SH 26**) is a Texas state highway located completely within Tarrant County. SH 26 was designated on July 2, 1917. SH 26 terminates at Texas State Highway 183 and Texas State Highway 121. SH 26 was redesignated from its original location in East Texas to its current location in Tarrant County on April 4, 1980. SH 26 was the last of the original 26 state highways proposed in 1917.

## Route description

TX 26 begins in Haltom City at a juncture with TX 183 as it departs Belknap Street onto Baker-Hurst Boulevard. TX 26 continues on Belknap Street, heading northeast into Richland Hills. Eponymously titled Boulevard 26, the route proceeds into North Richland Hills, passing its city hall and moving under I-820. TX 26 connects with the southern terminus of FM 1938 and continues northeast, diagonally reaching local arterial roads and passing through the suburbs of Hurst and Colleyville. In the latter town, the route is named Colleyville Boulevard, and as it passes along the southern city limits of Southlake into Grapevine, it is named Ira E. Woods Avenue.

Inside Grapevine, TX 26 meets TX 114 at a folded diamond interchange, connecting TX 114's frontage roads with Ira E. Woods Avenue. The route turns right and becomes concurrent with TX 114, proceeding south. The two routes merge with the northbound TX 121, and all three continue to the east until TX 26 departs onto a frontage road and meets Texan Trail. This intersection forms the southern terminus of the former Loop 382, still signed as a business route of TX 114. TX 26 turns north onto Texan Trail, concurrent with the business route. At an intersection with Northwest Highway, TX 26 turns right, leaving behind TX 114's business route. The route then passes south of Lake Grapevine and Grapevine Mills, and terminates at the frontage roads of the northbound FM 2499, recently diverged from the northeast-bound TX 121.

## History

**SH 26** designated on July 2, 1917 as a short route from Tyler through Henderson to Nacogdoches. On January 19, 1920, the section of **SH 26** from Tyler to Henderson was cancelled, and SH 26 was instead rerouted to end in Overton. On November 27, 1922, the section of **SH 26** from Henderson to Overton was cancelled. On August 21, 1923, **SH 26** was extended northward to Longview over part of SH 43. On February 21, 1935, **SH 26 Loop** was designated in Kilgore. On September 26, 1939, it had been extended north to the Oklahoma state line via a proposed section of SH 149 and SH 11. SH 26 Loop was renumbered as Loop 66. On December 12, 1962, **SH 26** was cancelled when U.S. Highway 259 was routed over its entire length.

On April 4, 1980, it was redesignated along the Spur 452 and the old route of SH 121 from Haltom City to I-820, then northeastward through Colleyville and Grapevine. On May 16, 1988, the section from SH 114 to BS 114-L (was Loop 382 until 1990) was cancelled. This is its current route.

**SH 26A** was a spur designated on October 26, 1925 from Longview to Tatum. It was extended south to Carthage by 1926 over part of SH 8, which was rerouted farther east. On March 19, 1930, this was renumbered as SH 149.

**SH 26B** was a spur designated On April 27, 1925, from SH 35 in Timpson to SH 26 west of Timpson. On July 13, 1925, **SH 26B** was shortened to end in Garrison. On July 27, 1925, it was extended back to Timpson. On March 19, 1930, this became an extension of SH 22.

**Francisco Xavier Paulino Dias dos Milagres Bringel** (26 January 1952 – 2 January 2019), known professionally as **Young Chico**, was an Indian singer known for his work in Konkani films and *tiatr* productions.

Team Café of *O Heraldo* writes, Bringel, known as the "Man with Golden Voice," was a devoted admirer of *tiatr* from an early age. He gained fame for his singing talent and was particularly known for his melodious renditions of Konkani songs, notably his acclaimed piece titled "Nouro". Throughout his career, Bringel collaborated with esteemed figures in the tiatr industry, including directors C. Alvares, M. Boyer, Remmie Colaco, Prem Kumar, Alfred Rose, Bab Peter, Tony Martin, Chris Perry, and Kid Boxer, among others.

Besides his vocal contributions, Bringel also ventured into music production, releasing numerous audio cassettes. He showcased his own compositions as well. *The Goan Everyday* writes, with Bringel's distinctive bass voice and timeless tracks such as "Milenna", "Christalina", and "Nouro", his commitment to professionalism and selfless dedication elevated *tiatr* performances, making them both meaningful and brilliant.

## Early life

Francisco Xavier Paulino Dias dos Milagres Bringel was born on 26 January 1952, in Mapuça, Goa, which was a part of Portuguese India during the era of the Portuguese Empire (now in India). He belonged to a Goan Catholic family and was the son of Emerico Luis Bringel (later known as Emerico Luis Carlos Sebastiao Bringel), a proprietor, and Ida Carolina Dias Bringel, a homemaker. His lineage included his poet grandfather, Paulino Dias.

From an early age, Bringel displayed evident musical talent. During his school years, he actively participated in concerts, captivating audiences with his singing prowess. His performances consistently earned him applause and acclaim, as his voice had the ability to captivate listeners until the final note. This quality laid the foundation for his early involvement in a band that performed at weddings and other celebratory occasions.

At the age of 13, he made his debut on the Konkani stage career, participating in village *tiatrs* and delivering renditions primarily composed by Alfred Rose. Bringel held deep admiration for Rose, who was widely recognized as the preeminent "Melody King of Goa" and had achieved considerable success in the *tiatr* domain. Bringel's vocal tone was similar to that of his idol, Alfred Rose.

## Career

Bringel's journey in the world of music began when he joined the English beat group Imaginations hailing from his own village. After performing with the group for a number of years, Bringel made a significant decision to devote himself entirely to the *tiatr* stage. It was in 1976 that he made his professional *tiatr* debut with the play *Seza Pai*, written and directed by Vincent de Curtorim, widely recognized as Star of Curtorim. During this *tiatr* production, Bringel assumed the stage name "Young Chico" and showcased his vocal prowess through two solos. The play *Seza Pai* achieved great success, with Bringel's solos contributing significantly to its acclaim. The audience, astounded by Bringel's performance, warmly embraced him and bestowed upon him the endearing title of "Junior Alfred Rose".

Bringel's singing abilities soon caught the attention of *tiatr* writers and directors, who eagerly sought his contribution to their productions. He swiftly garnered a reputation as the most sought-after singer of his time. Initially relying on others to compose songs for him, Bringel eventually expanded his creative horizons. His collaborations with prominent directors such as Jacint Vaz, M. Boyer, Remmie Colaco, Fr Freddy J da Costa, Prem Kumar, C. Alvares, Patrick Dourado, Anil Pednekar, Anthony Sylvester, Alfred Rose, Inacio de Canacona, Anthony San, and others provided ample opportunities for him to showcase his singing skills and captivate the hearts of the audience. Furthermore, his collaborations with performers such as Shalini and Ophelia elevated the standards of the Konkani *kantar* genre, leaving a lasting impact on the musical landscape.

Bringel extended his musical prowess beyond live performances by lending his voice to numerous audio cassettes and CDs produced by various artists. Demonstrating his versatility, he garnered attention from multiple producers involved in the production of Konkani audio albums. His performances transcended geographical boundaries, as he graced musical shows not only in Goa but also in prominent cities such as Delhi, Pune, Kolkata, Mumbai, Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. During a performance in Dubai, Bringel's profound songs left a lasting impression on the audience, leading them to bestow upon him the honorary title of the "Man with a Golden Voice." His contributions to the theatrical realm were recognized by the esteemed Kala Academy, which honored him on Tiatr Day for his invaluable services to the *tiatr* stage. Furthermore, Bringel showcased his vocal talents in the Konkani film *Adeus Moga*, directed by his daughter Bushka, and lent his voice to the film *Girestkai*.

During a performance in the *tiatr* production titled *Sounsar Sudhorlo* by M. Boyer in Delhi, Bringel had an encounter with Connie, who would later become his spouse. Connie, known for her affiliation with renowned jazz singers Joe and Babush who had established themselves as figures in the national music scene. Bringel's compositions, such as "Milena" written by Tomazinho Cardozo and "Novro", have continued to captivate audiences through the airwaves of FM radio stations. In the 1980s, his creations received recognition on All India Radio's program 'Manajogtim Gitam, where his songs "Milena," "Hanv Poddiam Mogan," "Maim," and "Novro" garnered popularity. These tunes also garnered a listenership on the acclaimed Radio Ceylon.

## Personal life

Bringel encountered his future spouse, Connie, during a theatrical tour in Delhi. Connie is the sister of jazz singers Joe and Babush. The couple went on to have two children: a son named Anthony, professionally known as Junior Chico, who plays percussion for The Syndicates, and a daughter named Bushka, who has carved out her own successful career as a singer.

## Awards

Hailing from the census town of Guirim, Bringel has received numerous awards for his singing abilities. His achievements include the "Kala Gaurav Puraskar" from the Directorate of Art and Culture, bestowed upon him by the Government of Goa. The Tiatr Academy of Goa recognized his enduring contributions with the "TAG's Lifetime Contribution to Tiatr award". Additionally, Bringel was honored by the Kala Academy Goa and the 125th Anniversary of Tiatr Celebration Committee for his significant impact on Goan *tiatr*. He also received the esteemed "Golden Voice Award" from Abu Dhabi.

## Death

On 2 January 2019, Bringel died at the Goa Medical College while undergoing treatment for a hip replacement. The cause of death was reported as a cardiac arrest. Following his demise, a funeral service was held two days later at St. Diogo Church in Guirim.

### Reactions

Anthony San, a fellow performer who frequently shared the *tiatr* stage with Bringel, recalled their professional collaboration dating back to 1975. In various productions, both artists would often commence the performances with an opening song. Notably, in the *tiatr* titled *Ekuch Ghor* (One House), the trio of Alfred Rose, Bringel, and Anthony San would take center stage.

Anthony San revealed the shared aspiration he and Bringel harbored for recording their voices together. This aspiration was ultimately realized in 1979, when they seized the opportunity to record for the Konkani film *Girestkai* (Weath), produced by Das. The recording session took place at Mumbai's renowned Navrang studio, featuring lyrics penned by Rosario Rodrigues and music composed by Emiliano D'Cruz. Despite Anthony San's own accolades in the realm of singing, he consistently held an appreciation for Bringel's melodious vocal abilities. Furthermore, Anthony San acknowledged Bringel's talent in singing across multiple languages, including English, Konkani, and Portuguese. He further added, while Bringel's absence on the *tiatr* stage will undoubtedly leave a void, his enduring legacy of musical contributions ensures his continued presence in our collective memory.

Joe Rose who was closely associated with the singer, acknowledged the significant impact of Bringel's performances on his first audio cassette, titled "Top Konkani Hits." In particular, Bringel's rendition of Joe Rose's compositions "Nouro" and "Maim" greatly contributed to the immense success of the album. Their professional collaboration extended beyond the recording studio, as they embarked on several *tiatr* tours across various cities including Goa, Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, and the Gulf countries. During these tours, they shared moments of light-hearted camaraderie with the rest of the troupe, engaging in jovial pranks that fostered a vibrant atmosphere.

Hortencio Pereira, another artist of the Konkani stage, expressed his profound shock upon learning of Bringel's passing. Notably, Pereira had the privilege of collaborating with Bringel on multiple occasions, where they performed duets together in various dramas. Bringel's vocal contributions played a pivotal role in four of Hortencio Pereira's cassettes and CDs, earning him great respect as a singer, akin to the renowned Alfred Rose. Pereira offered his prayers for Bringel's soul and extends his wishes for strength to the grieving family.

The passing of Bringel is a significant loss for the Konkani *tiatr* stage, as expressed by Wilson Mazarello, who described him as a highly talented tiatrist and an exceptional singer. Another *tiatrist*, Fatima D'Souza, shared her personal connection with Bringel and reminisced about the memorable experiences they had together, including their travels, shared jokes, and time spent on stage.

The Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG), representing the *tiatr* community and enthusiasts, extended its sincere condolences to the grieving family of Bringel. They mourned his death and expressed their heartfelt sympathies on behalf of the entire *tiatr* fraternity.

# William E. Martin

**William E. Martin** (October 8, 1945  January 27, 2016), also credited as **Bill E. Martin** and **Bill Martin**, was an American musician, screenwriter, songwriter and voice actor.

## Life and career

A friend of Monkee Michael Nesmith, Martin wrote the first song ("All of Your Toys") to be recorded with all four Monkees singing and playing. However, the song's copyright was owned by Tickson Music, for whom Martin worked; Screen Gems, who supervised music selection for the Monkees, had a rule that only Screen Gems-owned material could be released, and Tickson Music refused to sell the copyright. Martin took the setback in stride, signed a new contract with Screen Gems, and the band recorded his "The Door into Summer" (with title inspired by Robert A. Heinlein's novel).

A later teaming with singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson resulted in the song "Rainmaker", released in two different versions by Nilsson (on single and on LP) in 1969. Nilsson also covered some of Martin's songs, including "Fairfax Rag" and "City Life". Martin released a concept album in 1970, titled *Bill Martin's Concerto for Head Phones and Contra-Buffoon in Asia Minor*. It failed to sell. Shortly after their initial collaboration, Nilsson's film The Point would feature Martin's voice talent in the character of the Rockman.

Martin also wrote the song "Evergreen (Earth Anthem)", recorded by Cyrus Faryar, The Turtles, Dan Fogelberg and others.

Martin co-starred with Nesmith in his Grammy-winning *Elephant Parts* in 1981, and Nesmith also produced *An Evening with Sir William Martin*, with Martin delivering a half-hour monologue dressed in a smoking jacket and parodying Orson Welles, interspersed with different character voices.

Among Martin's screenwriting credits was the 1987 movie *Harry and the Hendersons*. Martin's first movie voice role came in the 1971 animated movie *The Point* as the Rock Man and later in the 1989 animated movie *Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland* as the villainous Nightmare King. He also had a cameo role in *Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees*, the 1997 television movie which reunited the full band. He was the model for Bigfoot in *Harry and the Hendersons*.

His voice skills also earned him roles in numerous animated series, including *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* (taking over the character of The Shredder after James Avery's departure from the role), *Transformers*, *Challenge of the GoBots*, and several *Star Wars* video games.

## Death

He died on January 27, 2016, aged 70.

# William Emerson (footballer)

**William Emerson** (16 December 1891  19 January 1961) was an Irish football player, who played as a midfielder for Burnley and Glentoran.

## Club career

A talented right half, Billy Emerson sprang from the Owen O'Cork club on east Belfast's Beersbridge Road, a little club that reared many young players for its big league neighbours Glentoran.

After being snapped up by the Glens in 1912, he made five appearances, scoring three goals in wins against Derry City and Shelbourne. Glentoran finished as champions that season and the following year, Emerson was part of the successful team that lifted both the Irish Cup and City Cup. He was also part of the squad that traveled to the continent and brought back the Vienna Cup. William Emerson made almost 300 appearances for Glentoran before joining Burnley during the 1921–22 season.

Emerson first met the Burnley team in Vienna in 1914 when his club toured Europe and Burnley secured his transfer towards the end of the 1921–22 season. Emerson made his debut for the then reigning league champions in front of 30,000 spectators in a 1-1 draw with Cardiff City. He spent parts of three seasons at Turf Moor playing 45 times, but like some of his Glentoran colleagues before him, moved back to the Oval.

After departing Burnley, Billy Emerson returned to Belfast where he played with Glentoran for two more years until 1926. In his two spells at the Oval, Emerson made more than 300 appearances. He also played with Glentoran's cross city rivals Linfield and also enjoyed two spells back in east Belfast with Dundela.

## International career

Emerson earned his first cap for pre-partition Ireland against England in October 1919. He would earn a further 10 caps for Ireland, scoring once. Five of his caps were earned at Burnley while the remaining six he won while on Glentoran's books. His six caps while at Glentoran makes him the most capped player in the club's history.

All 11 of Emerson's Ireland caps came in Home International Championship games. His last cap came on 20 October 1923 in a 2-1 victory over England in Belfast.

**William J. Weatherby** (1930–1992) was a British–American author and journalist who was actively involved in the American Civil rights movement. His works span numerous literary genres, including mystery, romance, historical fiction, biography, and journalism.

## Life and career

Born in a suburb of Manchester, England in 1930, Weatherby first travelled to the United States in the late 1950s as an entertainment correspondent and feature writer for The Guardian before being assigned to report on the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960s. While covering the movement, he began a relationship with an African American man named Christine, and the couple travelled together throughout Louisiana, Georgia, and New York. His experience covering the movement, along with his relationship with Christine, inspired the novel *Love in the Shadows* (1965), though when fictionalizing his experiences, Weatherby wrote Christine as a woman for the story to be published.

Throughout the 1960s, Weatherby was actively involved in the Civil Rights Movement and developed close friendships with Civil Rights leaders James Baldwin and Bayard Rustin. During this time, he also served as the American editor for Penguin Books.

In the 1970s, he worked as a senior editor at the publishing company Farrar, Straus & Giroux, and in 1976, he published *Conversations with Marilyn*, an account of his discussions and experiences with Marilyn Monroe during the filming of what would be her final completed movie, The Misfits (1961); Weatherby had briefly acted as a confidante of Monroe's during his time as an entertainment reporter in the early 1960s.

Weatherby published a number of other books regarding the lives of influential people, including a 1989 biography of his close friend, James Baldwin. Others of his works include the mystery stories *Murder at the UN* (1977) and *Death of an Informer* (1977), as well as the novel *One of Our Priests is Missing* (1968). Weatherby was also the co-editor of *The Negro in New York: An Informal Social History* (1967), a research project conducted under the Works Progress Administration, along with Roi Ottley, and wrote articles Newsweek, the Washington Post, and The New York Times, as well as the activist publishing house New Society.

In August 1992, Weatherby died of cancer at Saint Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie, New York. He was 62 years old.
