Philip Melanchthon
He was born Philipp Schwartzerdt on 16 February 1497, at Bretten where his father Georg Schwarzerdt was armorer to Philip, Count Palatine of the Rhine. His birthplace, along with almost the whole city of Bretten, was burned in 1689 by French troops during the War of the Palatinate Succession. The town's Melanchthonhaus was built on its site in 1897.
Franklin McMahon
(William) Franklin McMahon (September 9, 1921 – March 3, 2012) was an American artist-reporter. His seminal work at the birth of the civil rights movement, his coverage of U.S. presidential campaigns between 1960 and 2008, America's role in the space race, the formation of the European council, Vatican II, and scores of other political, cultural, religious and sporting events; all were part of a Franklin McMahon "day at the office" for the last 55+ years ... except that for him, his office was his studio, which is the world. In the words of Peter Lyle of "The Sunday Telegraph" of London:
... his pencil and his pad have been witness to many of the most significant events in postwar American and world history.
