...DIED. RODNEY DANGERFIELD, 82, necktie-tugging, bug-eyed U.S. comedian known for his self-deprecating one-liners and his catch phrase, "I don't get no respect"; in Los Angeles. After struggling as a young stand-up comic under the name Jack Roy, he quit show business and sold aluminum siding for 12 years. But in 1967, he returned with a new stage name and earned his first big break on The Ed Sullivan Show.

An energetic joke writer - he would sometimes jot them down on cardboard from his laundered shirts - he got his first big break with a spot on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1967. To avoid going on the road and leaving his children, he borrowed money and opened Dangerfield's club...
...misunderstanding continues in our perception of independence in Iran. It is easy to cite any number of Iranian laws that can serve as proof for an alleged lack of respect for individual freedoms. Indeed, Iran, like any country, is far from perfect. And like every country in its youth, it is even more so. Remember, twenty-five years after America’s founding, it was legal to keep a human being as a slave...
