No, Leonard Nimoy, who was born in 1931 in Boston, the son of Jewish-Orthodox Ukrainians had not pointed ears still slanted eyebrows, his blood was not green, and He also knew feelings. However, for generations, he was Mr. Spock, who was born in 2232 in Shi’Kahr on the planet Vulcan as a child of a human mother and a father volcanic. He was for 47 years, and he was so convincing that he, with a bit of resignation on his first autobiography, “I Am Not Spock” (1977) was followed by a second volume, “I Am Spock” (1995).
With most economical facial expressions, as a kind of alien Buster Keaton, Nimoy was the science officer on the Starship Enterprise, the strictly rational Second beside the emotion certain Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner, Nimoy made even more next American / Spock. Of course not only shines in “Star Trek V” when he sits with the other old Enterprise boys around the campfire and singing through that Spock can be sentimental very well, but he has just under control, analyzed the text of “Row , Row, Row Your Boat “and says that if others tremble and fear only:” Fascinating “Or, when he was suddenly confronted with earthly illogic:”.. I begin to understand “
If he was not Spock, Nimoy played other roles, such as the secret agent series “Mission: Impossible” the metamorphosis Paris, he directed in Star Trek episodes (z. B. “The Search for Spock “) and other films, and he sang on several albums, mostly American standards like” If I Had A Hammer “. 2014 Nimoy was known that he was suffering from chronic lung disease COPD, on Twitter, he wrote:” I I stopped smoking 30 years ago. Not soon enough. “Well, he died at the age of 83 years on it. His last tweet: “Life is like a garden. Perfect moments are possible, but they can not be kept except in memory “(APA / tk)

selling author Martin Suter can live well from the sale of his books.
The Swiss tabloid View report to him now, he let them additional support from the state, while those authors which would have the money necessary to “starve” would
The allegations are absurd -. the sheet staged a smear campaign against the writer who had once fought against the coverage of the View .
By Christopher Schmidt
If the Vita by Swiss author Martin Suter, 66, reread, a long list of book titles will be found, but no one mentioned literature prize. Because on promotion was Suter, the commercially successful German-language novelist, never required.
As of late appointed Suter at the age of fifty years published his first book, he already had a career in the advertising industry behind. The transition to the free existence as an artist he dared not until he was sure that he would be able to live from his writing, and life, life that is good at Suter – from which he has never made a secret. Spitzweg’s poor poet in the attic was not his role model from the beginning, he once told at a meeting.
“are all aware that we live in a bubble”
Unlike as not a few of his colleagues, which the promotion of literature allows sometimes amazing Para career without causing came out anything worth reading, and Martin Suter earns his money with the fact that many people read his books like.
And that is not only for him joyous, but for the entire industry. Because without a draft horse to cross-subsidize the less easy to sell authors can not survive literary publishing today. One should therefore be grateful Suter.
Just Suter’s latest novel is published. It is called “Monte Cristo” and is about a fictional Swiss bank that brings counterfeit money in circulation because she has speculated in a big way and I know that the state will not step in again after the recent banking crisis.
“Everyone is aware that we live in a bubble, so everyone is trying to be as gentle move, because no one wants the bubble bursts,” it says in “Monte Cristo”. As far as the writer Martin Suter, however, there is very probably an institution that wants the bubble bursts, and therefore move anything but gentle.
On the front page of its Wednesday edition claimed the Swiss tabloid View , the bestselling millionaire Suter let assisted with public money. “State aid for Star-author of” read the headline. Specifically, it’s about 140,000 francs subsidies that are supposedly benefited from Suter, “starve” while those authors who have the money needed would.
“State refined precious spring,” the catchy phrase. Now it would be good news if the Boulevard discovered his heart for starving artists. But that just makes a tabloid, a colleague of the writer’s guild his long runs criticized for acting bizarre.
The accusation is content anyway absurd, finally, the amounts have been mainly used for the promotion of translation, not a single franc Suter received for yourself how the newspaper suggests.
And the posting of authors read and perform abroad is one purpose of the promotion of literature. If a much sought-after and happy around gereichtes Edelweiss as Martin Suter represents the Swiss culture, then made more of it than the author himself.
military custody in pain
Quite obviously, it is in the smear campaign a cheap retort. Than six years ago Suter then suffocated three years adopted son of a sausage corner and the view from the tragedy struck sensationalist capital, the author defended.
Public Suter expressed his displeasure and spoke of “Grabplünderung”. Now the anger of the people to be goaded by just Suter, sets fine, distinguished gentleman, the greatest importance to its independence, defamed as subsidy parasites.
If success is a suspicion, would look the blade lock from the Ringier Group, the own shop first. In addition, we can only be grateful for any artist who needs no support. Martin Suter is a http://schema.org/.

The series has given me definitely a hint of self-worth, and in particular the relationship with the character Mr. Spock was my always guide when trying dignified a person to be. “
Tragic? No, Spock’s favorite word fits better fascinating. A case of over-identification of an actor with a roll, if any. But Leonard Nimoy was indeed a trained in the method acting Actors.

Nimoy was like their birth to an outsider, and the outsider Illustrative seemed to him apparently to interest at Spock.
I Am Not Spock he described his formative childhood memories in the movies, Charles Laughton’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Boris Karloff as Frankenstein – and how these monstrous figures for a moment only salvation experienced by a gesture of affection, “the love relationship between a man and a stranger.”

As Mr. Spock he coined unforgettable canvas sayings, including “Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end” and “If I were a man, my answer would be likely, Go to hell! ‘. If I were a man … “.
