• X, is a concept in medieval and
ancient philosophy referring to
the capricious nature of Fate. It
belongs to the Roman goodess
of luck, who handles it at
random, changing the positions
of those on the X - some suffer
great misfortune, others gain
windfalls. The goddess appears
on all paintings as a woman,
sometimes blindfolded,
"puppeteering" a X.
7. 2.
• In the period before World War II, the New
York Times published a vignette in their "The
Talk of the Town" feature saying that X was so
well known in America that he would be
stopped on the street by people wanting him
to explain "that theory". He finally figured out
a way to handle the incessant inquiries. He
told his inquirers "Pardon me, sorry! Always I
am mistaken for X. Me not him!"
13. 4,

19. • 6.At the age of 46, two months
after leaving military service, X was
fatally injured in an accident on his
Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle in
Dorset, close to his cottage, Clouds
Hill, near Wareham. A dip in the

on their bicycles; he swerved to
avoid them, lost control, and was
thrown over the handlebars. He died
six days later on 19 May 1935.The
roadside memorial near Clouds Hill,
Wareham, Dorset.
• One of the doctors attending him
was the neurosurgeon Hugh Cairns,

by motorcycle dispatch riders
through head injuries. His research
led to the use of crash helmets by
both military and civilian
motorcyclists.
22. 7.XY?
• Alfred Hitchcock has been credited with bringing the handbag into
the limelight. In 1954, Hitchcock allowed the costume designer
Edith Head to purchase accessories from X for the film To Catch a
Thief, starring Y. According to Head, Y "fell in love" with it. Within
months of her 1956 marriage to Prince Rainier III, the pregnant
Princess was photographed using the handbag to shield her
growing belly from the paparazzi. That photograph was featured in
the Life magazine. As the Princess was a fashion icon, and the
handbag immediately achieved great popularity. Although the
handbag instantly became known as the Y bag, it was not officially
renamed until 1977.
• X now creates 32 styles of handbags, but the Y persists as the
manufacturer's best-seller.

what he called "the scroll"—a
continuous, one hundred and
twenty-foot scroll of tracing
paper sheets that he cut to size
and taped together. The roll

breaks. In the following years, X
continued to revise this
manuscript, deleting some
sections (including some sexual
depictions deemed
pornographic in the 1950s) and
adding smaller literary
passages.
• Book and author?
28. 9.Id the author and his only major
publication. And x?
• In 2009, a year before his death, the author
successfully sued to stop the U.S. publication of a novel
that presents his protagonist as an old man. The novel's
author, Fredrik Colting, commented, "call me an
ignorant Swede, but the last thing I thought possible in
the U.S. was that you banned books." The issue is
complicated by the nature of Colting's book, 60 Years
Later, which has been compared to fan fiction. Colting,
however, has published his book commercially.
• This was one of the first cases dealing with X and
whether it infringes on copyright issues or not.
31. 10.Id X and Y

campaign to spread information that the United
States invented X as part of a biological weapons

States’ credibility, foster anti-Americanism,
isolate America abroad, and create tensions
between host countries and the U.S. over the
presence of American military bases In 1992, 15%
of Americans considered it definitely or probably
true that "the X was created deliberately in a
government laboratory."
47. 15.
• His embalmed body is on display in a granite
mausoleum modeled after Lenin's Tomb in
Moscow. Streams of people queue each day,

silence. This is reminiscent of other
Communist leaders like Kim Jong-il and his
father Kim Il-sung, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao
Zedong.
• Publications about His non-celibacy with the
girl seen here are banned in the country,
because the Party maintains that He had no

to the cause of revolution".

Virginia were brainstorming one evening in 1948. She
suggested a new version of Rudyard Kipling's The
Jungle Book (1894), but with a child raised by Martians

before publication. In 1962, it received the Hugo Award
for Best Novel.

something and hence getting it
banned. What?
80. • 26.Beauvoir’s “Lolita Syndrome”
(her personal favorite, she said,
among her essays) offers an
evangelical defence of the sexual
emancipation of the young. They
have been tied up in chains for too
long: X is presented as the Harry
Houdini who will get them out of
bondage. X is a filmic counterpart
to Beauvoir herself, the Socrates of
St. Tropez who is falsely convicted
of “corrupting the youth of
France.” She is a “woman-child” —
whose age difference is capable of
re-igniting burned-out desire: “she
retains the perfect innocence
inherent in the myth of childhood.”
Beauvoir posits X as the
incarnation of “authenticity” and
natural, pure “desire,” with
“aggressive” sexuality devoid of
any hypocrisy.
83. 27.The term?
• Andi Lothian, a former Scottish music promoter,
claims that he coined the term while speaking to
a reporter on 7 October 1963.
• In February 1964, Paul Johnson wrote in the New
Statesman that it was a modern incarnation of
female hysteria, and that fans were "the least
fortunate of their generation, the dull, the idle,
the failures.“

Post–World War II baby boom which ensured a
large number of fans.

turn Y into an international bestseller the CIA purchased thousands
of copies of the novel as they came off the presses throughout
Europe. In its announcement of the declassification of the Y
documents the CIA states that it also published "thousands" of
copies of Y and gave them out to Soviet tourists on holiday in
Western Europe and had them smuggled into the Soviet Union:
"After working secretly to publish the Russian-language edition in
the Netherlands, the CIA moved quickly to ensure that copies of Y
were available for distribution to Soviet visitors at the 1958 Brussels
World’s Fair.
