Actually, I'm pretty sure Goebbels was Chacellor after Hitler. Donitz only became President. I checked rulers.org to double check. I might be wrong.

He was "named" in Hitler's will, but he didn't serve.  This is a bit like Czar Nicholas II abdicating in favor of a brother, who declined.

Since nobody answered my Cecil questions, I'll repost:

Two more Cecil questions:

1.  What was the "Cecil scene," and what was it significance to the House of Commons?

2.  This is easy, name one of the two groups the 3rd Marquess compared the Irish to regarding self rule?  ;-)

1.  An organized disruption on the floor of the House of Commons, directed against Asquith, led by Lord Hugh Cecil in 1911.  It marked the first time in history that the House had to adjourned as a "disorderly assembly."

2.  Hottentots and "Hindoos."

Bushmen and Indians-that was the height of Victorian insults.

I know the saying Bob's yer Uncle comes from Robert Cecil/Viscount Cranborne/3rd Marquess of Salisbury

[J. J.]

The Third Marquess was known for being politically incorrect.  A "Salisbury" referred to a blund statement.

All that said, he did such things as increase voting rights.  He also helped defuse such things as the "Kruger Note."

Hermann Goering, IIRC

Goering, it's where he developed his morphine addiction.

Didn't Hermann get his huevos blown off in WWI?  I'd probably take some morphine too had that happened to me:)

I don't believe it was that severe.  He was injured.

I remeber reading that he was effectively made a eunuch from the wound which lead to his corpulent appearance.

[JohnFKennedy]

What two presidential candidates,  within the last 50 years, attend the same public schools?

candidates? Did they both lose or did one lose and one win?

[J. J.]

Both lost the presidency, but both were running at the same time.

Both lost the presidency, but both were running at the same time.

Third parties included then?

No.  Ah, didn't Howard Dean run for president?  I didn't say nominees.

[PBrunsel]

John Kerry and Gary Hart perhaps.

[J. J.]

They were not running at the same time.  One more hint:  At least one is still alive.  :-)
