Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici
|
Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, (17 July 19335 November 2022) was a Maltese politician who served as Prime Minister of Malta from December 1984 to May 1987.
Biography.
Karmenu was born on 17 July 1933 at Cospicua to Lorenzo Mifsud Bonnici and Catherine Buttigieg, in a family strongly anchored in the Nationalist Party. His brother Antoine was a Nationalist MP and Parliamentary Secretary while a cousin, Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, was a Nationalist MP, Minister and President of Malta. Karmenu had two sisters and three brothers, one of whom (Antoine) is a Nationalist member of Parliament and another was an Archpriest. He never married.
Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici studied at the Lyceum and graduated in Law at the University of Malta in 1954. He also later studied taxation and industrial law at the University College of London in 1967–68, and was afterwards a lecturer in Industrial and Fiscal Law at the University of Malta.
In the 1960s, at the height of the dispute between the Maltese Church and the Labour Party, he was an official of a number of lay organisations connected to the Church, including the Catholic Social Guild and the Young Christian Workers Movement (also as editorial board member of their "Il-Haddiem" newspaper), and supported the "diocesan junta" of Church organisations opposing Dom Mintoff and his Party. He would later claim to be "a Nationalist by birth, but a Labourite through free choice and conviction".
In 1969, he got a job as a local consultant of Malta's General Workers' Union, playing a role in the struggle of the trade union and the Labour party against the Nationalist government-proposed Industrial Relations Bill, which foresaw sanctions up to imprisonment for workers on strike. He continued his engagement with the Labour Party throughout the 1970s.
Labour Party leader and Prime minister.
In May 1980, Dom Mintoff appointed Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici as deputy leader of the Labour Party, which was confirmed by the party conference. Mifsud Bonnici managed the party campaign for the 1981 elections - the third and last victory of Mintoff's Labour.
In October 1981, Mintoff designated Mifsud Bonnici as his successor, again confirmed by the party conference. Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici was thus co-opted into Parliament in May 1983 upon the resignation of Paul Xuereb, and assigned the Ministry of Employment and Social Services, without ever standing for election. This gained him the nickname of "Doctor Zero". Several commentators consider that Mintoff hand-picked Mifsud Bonnici to prevent the election of other, less amenable, internal rivals at the helm of the party.
In September 1983, Mifsud Bonnici was named Senior Deputy Prime Minister and assigned the Ministry of Education, a responsibility he held until 1986, during which period he was in charge of the introduction of free education for all, which had led to a deep dispute between the government and the Church.
On 22 December 1984, following Mintoff's resignation, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici was sworn in as Prime Minister, thus becoming the first Maltese Prime Minister since independence to be sworn in without actually standing for a general election. He also maintained the portfolios of Minister of Interior and of Education.
Mifsud Bonnici's tenure as Prime Minister was seen as a continuation of the Dom Mintoff years (he even retained the same Cabinet). Political violence persisted, heightened and was made more intense by the fact that the 1987 elections were approaching. Relations with the church deteriorated further on two fronts: the enactment of a Bill to seize church property without compensation, and attempts by the government to take control of church schools.
In 1984, a demonstration by some workers of the Malta Drydocks, at which Mifsud Bonnici was present, climaxed when the offices of the Maltese Curia were ransacked after the demonstration had ended. He responded by calling the workers "the aristocracy of the working class".
In 1985, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici was the lead negotiator in the hijacking of EgyptAir Flight 648 in which 60 of the 92 passengers were killed.
Mifsud Bonnici narrowly lost the 1987 elections
and was made to carry most of the blame for the defeat - which might have had a role in the heart attack he suffered soon after.
He remained Leader of the Opposition until 1992 when, following a second electoral defeat, he resigned and was succeeded by Alfred Sant. He held his seat until the following election in 1996. He did not contest any general elections thereafter.
Later years.
In 2003, during the referendum campaign for the accession of Malta to the European Union, Mifsud Bonnici with other labourites launched the Campaign for National Independence (CNI) and later joined the Front Maltin Inqumu (Maltese Arise Front) to oppose Malta's EU membership. They proposed instead an alternative association agreement, or "partnership", reviving an earlier Mintoff vision of Malta as the "Switzerland of the Mediterranean".
Two years later he also opposed the ratification of the European Constitution, but his motion at the Labour Party's General Conference in 2005 was rejected. Subsequently, he maintained a low profile within the party while retaining a role in the CNI.
Mifsud Bonnici died on 5 November 2022, at the age of 89.

William H. Appleton
|
William H. Appleton (March 24, 1843 – September 9, 1912) was an American soldier who received the Medal of Honor for valor during the American Civil War.
Biography.
William was born on March 24, 1843, in Chichester, New Hampshire, where his father was a wheelwright. Bill enlisted in the Union Army in May 1861 at the age of 19 and was assigned to Company I of the 2nd New Hampshire Infantry. Bill fought at First Manassas, the Peninsula Campaign, Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg before joining a newly formed unit, the 4th US Colored Infantry. This unit was formed in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 15, 1863, and William Appleton joined Company H as a second lieutenant in August that same year. It was his actions at the Second Battle of Petersburg that would earn him a promotion and the Medal of Honor.
William Appleton was able to lead the charge and was unscathed at the end. One other officer was killed, along with five others wounded in the same battle. Bill was promoted to captain and moved to command Company E, where they would go on to fight at and capture Fort Fisher in January 1865. Appleton and the 4th US Colored Infantry were mustered out of service in May 1866 and little else is known about his post service life is known. Bill was brevet promoted to Major before his end of service and Bill received his Medal of Honor on February 18, 1891. William Appleton died on September 9, 1912, at the age of 69 and is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery in Pembroke, New Hampshire.

Henri Ledroit
|
Henri Ledroit (Villacourt, 1946 - Nancy, France, 1988) was a French counter-tenor, the first in France of the modern revival in that voice range. Originally training to be a baritone in 1972 he met Alfred Deller and decided to train as a countertenor. He made many of the earliest recordings of pieces later to become standards of baroque countertenor repertoire - for example his "Orphée Descendant aux Enfers" H 471 of Marc-Antoine Charpentier.
Ledroit died in 1988 at the age of 42 as a result of complications from AIDS.
