#5
Jaime Escalante -- Bolivian-born American schoolteacher who showed that underestimated kids could do tough math in high school*
Miguel Cuellar, baseball pitcher*
John Forsythe, actor*
Anatoly Dobnrynin, long-time Soviet ambassador to the USA*
Lech Kaczynski, President of Poland... killed in plane crash along with his wife and several Polish officials* The damage to Polish political life in that plane crash resembles the damage of a military coup.
Benjamin Lawson Hooks, former NAACP President*
Darryl Gates, retired controversial police chief of Los Angeles*
Juan Antonio Samaranch, long-time President of the International Olympic Committee*
Paul Schäfer Schneider, ex-Nazi, child molester, using a community that he founded as a place for the dirty work of the Chilean military dictatorship. (Roast in Hell!)
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
