Machado ist nicht die erste, die ihren #Nobelpreis verschenkte.
Das war der norwegische Schriftsteller Knut Hamsun, der 1920 mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur ausgezeichnet wurde: 1943 schickte er die Medaille, die er mit dem Nobelpreis erhalten hatte, an Joseph Goebbels.

gründete 1920 die Flugzeugfirma "de Havilland". Die kanadische Tochtergesellschaft wurde 1985 an Boeing und 1992 an Bombardier Aerospace verkauft. Dessen Teilkonzern "Bombardier Transportation" übernahm 2002 das Werk in Hennigsdorf. Und jetzt der Kracher: Hennigsdorf liegt - na wo? Im HAVELLAND.
Das kann alles kein Zufall sein.

the wealthy heir to a banking fortune, made newspaper headlines for doing the unthinkable:
he declined to accept an inheritance of more than a million dollars from his late father’s estate. 
Garland was disillusioned by the era’s gross #inequality
— the top 10 percent of American income earners took in half the country’s annual national income.
Garl…

‘The Radical Fund’: How a spurned inheritance fueled progressive change
In his new book, Yale’s John Fabian Witt details how a little-known foundation funded by a wealthy banking heir sought to bring about a more just society in the first half of the 20th century.

Another loft pottery find; the back says 'Hand painted', 'Made in Japan' but nothing else; as far as I can find out there were a bunch of Japanese studios doing imagined desert scenes from 1920-1950s.
