July 6, 2009Robert McNamara / Date of death
Robert Strange McNamara, one of the most recognizable and controversial figures of the Vietnam War, served as the Secretary of Defense under both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. His policies changed the way that the military operated and also shaped the strategy of the Vietnam War.
The Pentagon Papers revealed that the United States had expanded its war with the bombing of Cambodia and Laos, coastal raids on North Vietnam, and Marine Corps attacks, none of which had been reported by the American media.

WILLIAM H. REHNQUIST: He was an assistant attorney general at the time. His disembodied voice can be heard over the phone warning The Post against publishing. Later that year, Nixon nominated him to the Supreme Court, where he later became chief justice. He died in 2005.
Rosenthal died in 2006, Sulzberger in 2012. TONY BRADLEE (Sarah Paulson ): Jacqueline Kennedy was quoted as telling her husband, “Jack, you always say that Tony is your ideal woman,” and Tony (Antoinette Pinchot Bradlee, to be precise) said the president made a pass, which she rebuffed.
THE SETTING: While “The Post” is a stark reminder of what a company town Washington can be, the movie was actually made at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. A vacant office building in White Plains, N.Y., substituted for The Post; the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of New York City on West 44th Street for The Times.
DANIEL ELLSBERG (Matthew Rhys ): A disillusioned former Marine who drafted the study, which McNamara commissioned out of “guilt rather than courage,” he says in the movie. Mr. Ellsberg turned whistle-blower while working as an analyst for the RAND Corporation, a research group under contract to the Defense Department.
JUDITH MARTIN (Jessie Mueller): Later an etiquette columnist known as Miss Manners, she covered social events and made news herself in 1968 at Julie Nixon’s wedding: Ms. Martin slipped out of the press corps pen with the bridesmaids to better cover the event.
THE WASHINGTON POST: “We are not a little local paper any more,” its editor, Ben Bradlee, proclaims in the movie, declaring an end to The Post’s cozy coverage of Washington. In the years before he joined as deputy managing editor in 1965, The Post lagged behind other publications in the capital, including The Evening Star ...
The Georgetown alumnus’ only regret about the movie is how the primary lawyer on the case, Roger Clark, was “portrayed as a young lawyer out of his depth.” Clark was an experienced and able lawyer at that point, Essaye says.
After he got his Harvard law degree in 1961 and a brief stint with a New York law firm, Essaye began serving in the legal office of the Peace Corps, which had been recently created by President Kennedy.
In 1994, Post released a CD, called Inventions from the Blue Line. The CD contained several of his well-known themes, featuring NYPD Blue and also including Law & Order, Silk Stalkings and Renegade. In the liner notes, he discussed his late father, Sam Postil, and the admiration for law enforcement officers that Sam instilled in Mike. He also referred to police in the traditional nickname of "blues", as in The Thin Blue Line (referring to the police in general and to police camaraderie). One of the tracks is called "The Blue Line", which Post calls "the comradery theme".
In popular culture. The Pete Townshend song "Mike Post Theme", which alludes to the ubiquity of Post's work in television theme music, appears on The Who 's 2006 album, Endless Wire .
One of his first jobs in television started when he was 24, as the musical director on The Andy Williams Show. Another early job was writing the theme music for the short-lived detective series Toma in 1973, but his big breakthrough (together with co-composer Pete Carpenter) came in the following year with his theme song for The Rockford Files, another series by producer Stephen J. Cannell. The theme also got cross-over Top 40 radio airplay and earned a second Grammy for Post.
At the peak of his career, Post was the go-to composer for all of the series created by Donald P. Bellisario, Steven Bochco, Stephen J. Cannell and Dick Wolf.
In 1989, Broadcast Music, Inc. Foundation and Mike Post established The Pete Carpenter Fellowship in memory of the late Pete Carpenter, who was Post’s co-composer of television scores and themes including The Rockford Files (for which they won a Grammy), Hunter, Riptide, Hardcastle and McCormick, Magnum P.I. and The A-Team.
Awards for the music for L.A. Law, Hunter, and the various Law & Order series. The theme for The Greatest American Hero (co-written with Stephen Geyer) is one of the few television themes to reach as high as number 2 as a single record on the Billboard Hot 100.
He is also credited as the record producer for Williams' LP that included that song, The Mason Williams Phonograph Record . Billed as the Mike Post Coalition, their track "Afternoon of the Rhino" became a sought-after Northern soul track. The single peaked at number 47 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1975.
The Lawyer's character returns in Season 11, where he is seen representing Liam McPoyle in his lawsuit against Bill Ponderosa, for the destruction caused by Bill's drugging of the milk at McPoyle's wedding.
The Lawyer's character returns in Season 11 , where he is seen representing Liam McPoyle in his lawsuit against Bill Ponderosa, for the destruction caused by Bill's drugging of the milk at McPoyle's wedding. It seems that the Lawyer's hatred of the Gang has only grown stronger and more pre-occupying to him since his last appearance. Despite greeting the Gang with an air of confidence (after once again reminding Frank that he is not Jewish), and assuring them that he relishes the idea of 'crushing them', he becomes visibly upset on the courtroom floor when describing his past relations to the Gang, and their toll on his personal life, [blaming them for the failure of his marriage (s)]. In an endeavor to discredit him, Dee attempts to prove he is lying about not being Jewish by dramatically revealing that she found a distant ancestor of his with a Jewish surname. The trial predictably descends into chaos, leaving the Lawyer maimed by Royal McPoyle, a Poconos Swallow that Pappy McPoyle keeps under his hat. At the behest of his handler, Royal swoops at the Lawyer, gouging his right eye, potentially blinding him (although it is yet to be seen if these injuries are permanent). While these events do reinforce Charlie's 'bird-law' legal strategy, the overall pandemonium (supplemented by Dennis playing with the 'cat' Maureen Ponderosa) in the courtroom convinces the judge to throw out the case, leaving the Lawyer defeated, disfigured, and enraged. ("McPoyle vs. Ponderosa: The Trial of the Century")
The Gang mistook The Lawyer for having personal involvement as the executor of Barbara Reynolds 's will even though he had never met her. ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead") .
About. The Lawyer went to Harvard for law school. ("The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis") He had a lovely wife, but at some point she decided to leave him. Their divorce process was very emotionally turbulent for The Lawyer because he was still very much in love with her.
He represented a family whom Frank is trying to force out of their house. After Charlie made an attempt to prove that he's more legally apt than the actual Lawyer, Charlie challenged The Lawyer to a duel. He immediately accepted, claiming to have a loaded gun in his office desk. ("The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis")
Job. The Lawyer (aka The Jew Lawyer) is an attorney who has had several run-ins with the Gang. Like The Waitress, his real name is unknown, and he is not actually Jewish. The Lawyer has a strong dislike for the gang. He often uses his sharp intellect and knowledge of the law against them.
He claims he is not Jewish (he states this after Frank refers to him as "the Jew lawyer"). ("Pop-Pop: The Final Solution") However, in Season Eleven The Lawyer returns to attempt to beat the Gang in a court case.
