First elected to the Vermont House of Representatives in 1930, he served as lieutenant governor (1935-37) and governor (1937-41) of his home state. As a U.S. senator (1941-75), the spirited Republican supported "liberal" farm policies such as crop price supports and favoured rural electrification and the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway (completed in 1959), a joint project with Canada which afforded deep-draft navigation between the Atlantic and the Great Lakes. He was the chief architect of the food-stamp program, which became law in 1965, two decades after he first proposed the idea. Aiken became a Vermont institution with his longtime tenure, but he became better known to the nation for two straightforward remarks. In 1966, after having supported Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson's policy in the Vietnam War, he moved toward the position of the "doves" and said that if a face-saving device was needed to pull out of the fighting, Johnson should simply "declare the United States the winner and begin deescalation." In 1973 he lambasted the Senate for its treatment of Pres. Richard Nixon by saying, "Impeach him or get off his back." Although he came from a rural, landlocked state, he was an avid internationalist and, as a longtime member and ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he supported a nonpartisan foreign policy. If he had not claimed the position on the Foreign Relations Committee in 1954, it would have gone to Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Aiken, who earned a reputation for his candor, thrift (he spent $17.09 on his last campaign), and independence of mind, was at the time of his retirement the oldest senator and dean of the Senate.

He joined the Red Army at age 17, on the eve of Germany's attack on the U.S.S.R. during World War II. By the end of the war he had reached the rank of major and was in command of a tank battalion. After graduating from the Military Academy of Tank Troops (1952), he was placed in command of a tank regiment (1952-60) and then a full division (1960-65). In 1967 he graduated from the Frunze General Staff Academy. Without the experience of commanding any of the Soviet military districts (he became divisional chief of staff but not commander), he was appointed to the post of deputy chief of general staff in 1974. Five years later he won promotion to first deputy. In March 1983 he attained the rank of marshal. A Communist Party member since 1943, he was elected a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in June 1983 and a deputy of the Supreme Soviet in March 1984. On Sept. 6, 1984, it was announced that Akhromeyev had replaced Marshal Nikolay Ogarkov as chief of general staff of the Soviet armed forces. As General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev's personal military adviser, he publicly supported glasnost, but he reportedly remained a hardline militarist and an opponent of reform. On Dec. 7, 1988, the same day Gorbachev announced substantial troop reductions, Akhromeyev resigned from office. He was the second of three Soviet officials to commit suicide in the wake of an unsuccessful takeover of the central government by hardliners in 1991.

Alaungphaya, also spelled Alaungpaya, Alaung Phra, Alompra, or Aungzeya (Burmese: "The Victorious") (b. 1714, Moksobomyo, Kingdom of Awa [now Shwebo, Myanmar] - d. May 11, 1760, Kin-ywa, Martaban province, Kingdom of Awa), king of Awa (1752-60). He was a village headman from the small town of Moksobomyo, north of the capital Awa, when in April 1752 Binnya Dala, the Mon king of Pegu, captured Awa and put an end to its ruling Toungoo dynasty. Refusing to swear allegiance to the Mon, Alaungphaya organized a resistance movement. Claiming descent from a 15th-century king, he established a new capital at Moksobomyo, founding the Alaungphaya (or Konbaung) dynasty. In 1753 he recaptured Awa and went on the offensive in the south of the country. Four years later, he also captured the city of Pegu, and took Binnya Dala prisoner. The Mon fled to the small fishing village of Dagon, to the southwest. When Alaungphaya sacked the town, he founded a new port there, naming it Yangon ("the end of war"). He gained control over the whole area previously under the rule of the Toungoo dynasty. Because the French had allied themselves with the Mon, Alaungphaya was eager to gain British support and in 1757 concluded a treaty with the British East India Company, granting it generous trade concessions. But the company, at war with the French in India, was unwilling to involve itself on a second front. Siam (Thailand) grew alarmed by Alaungphaya's conquests and tried to start new rebellions, and he responded by invading Siam in 1759. First he took the ports of Moulmein, Tavoy, and Tenasserim, and in April 1760 he surrounded Ayutthaya (Ayuthia), the Siamese capital. But during the siege a cannon exploded, mortally wounding Alaungphaya. He died while his army retreated home.

Alexander, Lee (b. May 18, 1927, Jersey City, N.J. - d. Dec. 25, 1996, Syracuse, N.Y.), mayor of Syracuse (1970-85). His political career began with unsuccessful local campaigns followed by a failed bid for Congress. But in 1966 he was elected to the Common Council of Syracuse and in 1969 he won the mayoralty. He was the first Democrat in decades to become mayor of the city. In his first two terms, he kept Syracuse solvent while other northeastern cities hovered near bankruptcy, and he attracted millions of dollars in state and federal aid that enabled the building of schools, firehouses, and thousands of units of public housing. He was mentioned as a possible ambassador, cabinet member, or governor, but in 1974 he lost a bid for the Democratic nomination for the Senate. Alexander, who called himself an "urbanologist," a spokesman for America's cities, was elected president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 1977, and for six years beginning in 1980 he was president of the National Conference of Democratic Mayors. He was reelected to third and fourth terms in 1977 and 1981 but his margins diminished each time amid rumours of corruption. In 1986 an Internal Revenue Service audit of a man who had received large city contracts showed a substantial business deduction, which the man described as a kickback to Alexander. A grand jury was convened, and other witnesses began telling their accounts to the government. In July 1987 Alexander was indicted as the mastermind of a scheme that brought him $1.5 million from city contractors. The next January he pleaded guilty to 3 of the 65 counts against him. He spent nearly six years in confinement for racketeering, tax evasion, and conspiracy to obstruct a federal investigation, before being released in February 1994.

After growing up in Kuwait, Ali studied in Baghdad and became a member of Iraq's ruling Ba`th Party. He held both nationalities. He was a lieutenant in the Kuwaiti army when Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990. He was summoned to Baghdad, promoted to colonel, and named head of a 9-member "Provisional Kuwait Free Government." One week after the invasion, Ali was seen on Iraqi television asking Pres. Saddam Hussein to unite Kuwait with its big neighbour. Hours later, Baghdad announced that Iraq had annexed Kuwait and Ali disappeared from public view. In 1998 he fled to Norway. He had been trying to defect since 1994, but was refused permission to leave Iraq. In January 2000 he returned to Kuwait, where in 1993 he had been sentenced to be hanged for treason. He planned to appeal the decision, arguing that he had been coerced by the Iraqis to serve them. But a lower court found him again guilty of treason in May 2000 and sentenced him to death, and an appeals court upheld the sentence in July. In March 2001 the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.

Ali had reportedly been unhappy with his country's growing involvement in Soviet-Cuban operations in the Horn of Africa and was trying to improve relations with Yemen (Sana) and its conservative ally Saudi Arabia. According to Arab diplomats, the pro-Soviet Ismail summoned the central committee to an emergency session on June 25 to discuss Sana's charge that Ali was responsible for Ghashmi's assassination; Ali claimed he was framed, but the committee voted 121-4 to suspend Ali from government and party activities pending an investigation; Ali and his three supporters left the meeting shortly after midnight; Ali then ordered the Aden army garrison stationed in barracks near the presidential palace to shell the central committee headquarters; Ismail and the others escaped to a hideout on the outskirts of the city; Ali sent out orders to three other garrisons to march on Aden but the central committee ordered Defense Minister Ali Antar to counterattack; Antar brought out militia forces to seal off the city and ordered the air force to strike at the presidential palace; Antar's militiamen marched on the palace, and shortly before dusk Ali surrendered. Ali was put on trial and executed by firing squad the same day.

He was fond of saying he got into politics by accident after the Democratic mayoral candidate he supported in 1967 died on a handball court two months before the election. He entered the race in that man's place and won with what he called "a kind of New Deal coalition of labor and minorities, plus flag-waving Italians." He was largely successful at keeping the peace in the city during the Vietnam War years. He said he wouldn't tolerate violence, and instead urged young black militants to "come to me with your problems before you take them to the streets." His political star rose quickly, and he gave the nominating speech for Hubert Humphrey at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Rumoured to be in the running for the vice-presidential nomination, his name also came up as a prospect to become California's governor. But his political fortunes sagged after Look magazine ran a story in 1969 linking him to organized crime. He responded with a $12.5 million libel suit that he eventually won, collecting $450,000. About the same time, the state of Washington and several other agencies sued him for taking a share of $2.3 million in attorneys fees for a $16 million price-fixing case he had won. Later, the federal government indicted him on charges of bribery in the way the fees were collected. He was eventually cleared of all civil and criminal charges. While the bad publicity didn't hinder his reelection in 1972, he said it stymied his statehouse run in 1970 and played a part in his loss to Jerry Brown in the 1974 Democratic gubernatorial primary. He retired from politics in 1976.

He entered the nation's military academy in 1940. His first important military posting was as chief of mounted police in Montevideo in 1962. He became a general in 1971. He was then designated as chief of the Combined Armed Forces Command (Esmaco), which ran the counterinsurgency operation against the Tupamaros. He was reportedly one of the officers who used information obtained from captured guerrillas to crack down on corruption in Pres. Juan Bordaberry's administration. In February 1973 the Army issued a 19-point ultimatum under which the National Security Council (Cosena) assumed veto power over Bordaberry's regime. (Álvarez was permanent secretary of Cosena by virtue of his Esmaco position.) By 1977 he appeared to be losing influence. As commander of the 4th military region he was due for promotion to head the 1st, but he was passed over. He became commander in chief of the Army in February 1978 and held the post for a year. When his position was taken by his rival, Lieut.Gen. Luis Queirolo, Álvarez's star again seemed to be in decline, but in the 1979 round of promotions many of his supporters moved up a rank. In the spring of 1981 a loan scandal involving gambling led to the dismissal of key opponents. Some claimed that Álvarez engineered the incident to ensure his presidential chances. On Sept. 1, 1981, he succeeded Aparicio Méndez as president. He was accused of multiple human rights abuses and of violently repressing labour unions, but covered by a 1986 amnesty. In October 2009, however, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison after a court in Montevideo found him guilty of 37 murders; the amnesty law did not apply because the victims were kidnapped in Argentina.
