LONDON, June 2 (UPI) -- Actor Patrick Stewart was knighted Wednesday by the Queen of England at London's Buckingham Palace, officials said.
Stewart, 69, is best known for his work in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" film and TV franchises, as well as three "X-Men" movies. He is also a noted stage actor. Upon receiving the knighthood, Stewart credited "literally everything" he has accomplished to English teacher Cecil Dormand, who first encouraged him to perform, the BBC reported. "Although many people in my life have had great influence on me, without this man none of it would have happened," Stewart said. "He was the one that put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand (and) said, 'Now get up on your feet and perform.'"

Make it so.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Has anyone seen Schrodinger? ~~~~~~~ The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single one. -Eric Hoffer |
