I just realized, the mayor is in on the joke. Public is dumb.

CORY Booker and Roosevelt THOMPSON (CALhoun County, AL—has Interstate-20) attended YALE Univ. and were RHODES SCHOLARS who PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL. One day after dirty-strong Hurricane Hugo ravaged SOUTH CAROLINA (9/23/89), tight end Booker recovered an onsides kick with 1:11 left to help his Stanford Cardinal team beat coach Rich BROOKs and the Oregon DUCKs, 18-17. BROOKs turned 41 years old the day former Stanford coach JACK CURTICE (’58-62, final zip 93111; 407-12-3467) died: AUG. 20, 1982

Perpetually stuck in high school while Santa Claus gives others in your generation the life they solidly prepared for? Time warped? Consider both Cory Booker and Roosevelt THOMPSON attended YALE Univ. and won the RHODES Scholarship for study at OXford Univ. in ENgLAND. THOMPSON died BEFORE ATTENDING or GRADUATING YALE, but was familiar with the OXFORD, in his native Calhoun County, AL (founded DEC.18, 1832) which also has INTERSTATE 20, AL Hwy. 144, Saks, EASTaBOGa, HOBSON City, Weaver and BYNUM

Both Cory Booker and Roosevelt THOMPSON attended YALE Univ. and won the RHODES Scholarship for study at OXford Univ. in England. THOMPSON died before attending. The JUNE 10, 1984 (31st birthday of SC-born, NC U.S. Sen. John edWARDS) Ocala Banner-Star noted THOMPSON's passing. The story included this passage, indented as shown here:

A young attorney in town, CLEO THOM-

as, was 9-years-old in 1965. He is of Roo-

sevelt THOMPSON's GENERATION...

Maybe projecting 1989 chancellor CLEOn F. THOMpson?

Anyone looking at Newark, NJ mayor Cory A. Booker (D) and asking: “Is he alive?”, may be confusing him with a guy who died on 3/22/84 or 5,443 days (14 yrs., 10 mo., 23 days) after Booker was born. The deceased, Roosevelt Thompson (shouldn’t be confused with Social Security champion FDR)—like Booker—PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL, attended YALE Univ. and was a RHODES SCHOLAR. Unlike Booker, Thompson never made it to OXford, dying in a head-on automobile accident just short of his graduation from YALE

It is all for our entertainment, Calgary. They are both funny men.

Newark, NJ mayor Cory Anthony Booker (b. 4/27/69) uses the odd "skipping E" version of first name CORY. He's unrelated to 456-70-4194, though he majored in political science at Stanford University, which was founded by 8th California governor, LELAND Stanford

I hate to CONFLATE (dictionary.moc Word of the Day for Wed. 12/19/01) things that aren't related, but the 1997 SCOTT REYnOLDs film, "The Ugly" starred JENNifer WARD-LEALAND as "Evelyn CartWRIGHT" and Finn JohnSEN as "Future cop". Unrelated: Uber ambitious Newark, NJ mayor Cory Booker as a potential U.S. SENate candidate--despite JohnSEN ending with senator's SEN. abbreviation; puppy love KENya; the 501 E. 16th address; 456-70-4194; defunct retailer Montgomery WARD; WARD of the state themes
