Lawrence (St.). Patron saint of curriers, because his skin was broiled on a gridiron. In the pontificate of Sextus I. he was charged with the care of the poor, the orphans, and the widows. In the persecution of Valerian, being summoned to deliver up the treasures of the church, he produced the poor, etc., under his charge, and said to the praetor, "These are the church's treasures." In Christian art he is generally represented as holding a gridiron in his hand. He is the subject of one of the principal hymns of Prudentius. (See Laurence .)

Dr Carmen Lawrence

Dr Carmen Mary Lawrence (born 2 March 1948), Australian politician, became the first directly elected Federal President of the Australian Labor Party in 2003, after a meteoric rise in politics followed by several spectacular falls.

Lawrence was born in Northam, a country town in Western Australia, into a strongly conservative and Catholic family. She was educated at Catholic schools and at the University of Western Australia, where she attained a PhD in psychology. She worked as a tutor at the University of Melbourne, then as a lecturer at the University of WA until 1983. She then worked for three years for the Western Australian Department of Health.

During this period Lawrence moved away from her conservative family background and joined the Labor Party. In 1986 she was elected to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly, and in 1988 she was appointed Minister for Education. The Western Australian Labor government was in a state of crisis as a result of corruption allegations against two successive premiers, Brian Burke and Peter Dowding. In February 1990 Dowding was forced to resign and Lawrence was brought in as a "cleanskin" premier. She was the first woman premier of an Australian state.

The chain of events that derailed Lawrence's career began on 5 November 1992 when a petition was tabled by a Labor member of the WA Legislative Council alleging that one Penny Easton had perjured herself in the Family Court. Easton was engaged in a prolonged divorce settlement case with her ex-husband, Brian Easton. The petition also alleged that Richard Court, the Liberal Opposition Leader, had leaked official documents to Penny Easton to assist her case.

This might have been just another rather grubby political exercise except that on 9 November Penny Easton committed suicide. Her family alleged that the tabling of the petition caused her to do so, and also alleged that Lawrence had authorised the tabling of the petition as a tactic to damage Court. On 10 November Lawrence told Parliament that she had had no prior knowledge of the petition.

In February 1993 the Lawrence government was defeated by the Liberals and Court became Premier. Lawrence stayed on as Opposition Leader until early 1994, when she accepted an offer from Labor Prime Minister Paul Keating to enter federal politics. In March she won a by-election for the federal seat of Fremantle (once held by Labor Prime Minister John Curtin), and was immediately appointed Health Minister in the Keating government.

In May 1995 Premier Court set up a Royal Commission into the Penny Easton affair. On 13 September Lawrence told the Commission under oath that she had no recollection that her Cabinet had discussed the tabling of the Easton petition, despite evidence from a former Cabinet member, Keith Wilson, that the petition had been discussed, and that Lawrence had approved tabling it. On 14 November the Royal Commission found that Lawrence had lied to the Western Australian Parliament when she denied knowledge of the petition. Although her statements in Parliament were protected by privilege, her testimony to the Royal Commission was not.

Lawrence came under intense pressure to resign from the federal ministry, and Keating came under equally intense pressure to dismiss her. They decided to "tough it out," however. Keating denounced the Commission as a political stunt and accused the Commissioner, Kenneth Marks QC, of bias. Lawrence won some admiration for her refusal to crack under this pressure, but the damage done to her reputation, and the distraction of Keating from other issues, were factors which contributed to Labor's defeat by the Liberals under John Howard at the March 1996 federal election.

The new Labor Leader, Kim Beazley, was also from Western Australia, and came from the wing of the Labor Party which opposed Lawrence. Nevertheless she was elected to the Opposition frontbench and appointed shadow Environment Minister. But on 21 February 1997 Lawrence was charged with three counts of perjury. She immediately stood down from shadow ministry. The trial took more than two years to reach a conclusion. Lawrence again said that she had no memory of a Cabinet discussion of the Easton petition, although she did not actually deny that such a discussion had taken place. On 23 July 1999 she was found not guilty.

In September 2000 Beazley (with some reluctance), approved of her re-election to the Labor frontbench, and appointed her shadow minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, the Arts and Status of Women. But during the November 2001 federal election campaign Lawrence strongly disapproved of the line taken by Beazley on the issue of asylum seekers (see MS Tampa), and during 2002 she became increasingly dissatisfied with Labor's position on migration issues. In December 2002 she resigned from the Shadow Cabinet.

During 2002 the Labor Party approved a series of reforms proposed by its leader Simon Crean, among them the direct election of the party's National President by the party membership (the post had previously been filled by election at the party's National Conference). The election took place in November 2003. Lawrence emerged as the candidate of the party's left, and campaigned in favour of a policy of allowing more asylum seekers into Australia.

Although she did not win an absolute majority of the votes, Lawrence topped the poll and was elected President, to take office on 1 January 2004. This meant she would be National President during the 2004 federal election campaign. Although the National Presidency is mostly a figurehead position, Lawrence seemed determined to use it to further her policy agenda, and thus her election was a potential source of embarrassment to the party's new leader, Mark Latham.

T. E. Lawrence

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)


T.E. Lawrence.
Col. Thomas Edward Lawrence (August 15, 1888 - May 18, 1935), also known as Lawrence of Arabia, became famous for his role as a British liaison officer during the Arab Revolt of 1916-1918. His fame as a soldier rests on American traveller and journalist Lowell Thomas's reportage of the Revolt, as well as Lawrence's autobiography, Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

Lawrence was born in Tremadoc, Caernarfonshire, North Wales, of mixed English and Irish ancestry, and was educated at Jesus College, Oxford. He worked in the Middle East as an archaeologist with William Flinders Petrie before World War I and joined army intelligence at the outbreak of hostilities. During the war, he led extended guerrilla operations against the Ottoman Empire, using Arab irregular troops under the command of Emir Feisal, a son of Sherif Hussein of Mecca. The guerrilla operations were adapted from Boer tactics used during the Boer War. Lawrence's major contribution to World War I was his tying up of Ottoman troops, forced to repair the damage – mostly to railway infrastructure – that he wrought with his guerrilla raids. On July 6, 1917, Lawrence and his men captured Aqaba and, some 16 months later, he was involved in the capture of Damascus in the last weeks of the war.

During the time he spent with the Arab irregulars, Lawrence adopted many local customs and traditions as his own, and soon became a close friend of Prince Faisal. He especially became known for wearing white Arabian garb and riding on a horse in the desert. During the closing years of the war he sought to convince his superiors in the British government that Arab independence was in their interests, to mixed success.

After the war, he attempted to achieve anonymity, joining the Royal Air Force in 1922 under the name "Ross". After a year, his cover blown, he joined the Royal Tank Corps, this time using the surname "Shaw".

Eventually he left the forces for an academic career, and wrote extensively about his experiences and about the history of the Middle East. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in the county of Dorset, England in 1935. He had written extensively about Middle Eastern archaeology and had translated Homer's Odyssey.

Quotes

I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands
and wrote my will across the sky in stars
To earn you Freedom
-- from dedication of Seven Pillars of Wisdom

I deem him one of the greatest beings alive in our time...
We shall never see his like again.
His name will live in history. It will live in the annals of war...
It will live in the legends of Arabia.
-- Winston Churchill of Lawrence

Thomas Lawrence

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Sir Thomas Lawrence (May 4, 1760 - January 7, 1830), English painter was born at Bristol.

His father was an innkeeper, first at Bristol and afterwards at Devizes, and at the age of six Thomas was already shown off to the guests of the Black Boar as an infant prodigy who could sketch their likenesses and declaim speeches from Milton. In 1779 the elder Lawrence had to leave Devizes, having failed in business and the precocious talent of the son, who had gained a son of reputation along the Bath road, became the support o the family. His debut as a crayon portrait painter was made at Oxford, where he was well patronized, and in 1782 the family settled in Bath, where the young artist soon found himself fully employed in taking crayon likenesses of the fashionables of the place at a guinea or a guinea and a half a head. In 1784 he gained the prize and silver-gilt palette of the Society of Arts for a crayon drawing after Raphael's "Transfiguration," and presently beginning to paint in oil.

Throwing aside the idea of going on the stage which he had for a short time entertained, he came to London in 1787, was kindly received by Reynolds, and entered as a student at the Royal Academy. He began to exhibit almost mmediately, and his reputation increased so rapidly that he became an associate of the Academy in 1791. The death of Sir Joshua in 1792 opened the way to further successes. He was it once appointed painter to the Dilettanti society, and principal painter to the king in lieu of Reynolds. In 1794 he was a Royal Academician, and he became the fashionable portrait painter of the age, having as his sitters all the rank, fashion and talent of England, and ultimately most of the crowned heads of Europe. In 1815 he was knighted; in 1818 he went to Aix-la-Chapelle to paint the sovereigns and diplomatists gathered there, and visited Vienna and Rome, everywhere receiving flattering marks of distinction from princes, due as much to his courtly manners as to his merits as an artist. After eighteen months he returned to England, and on the very day of his arrival was chosen president of the Academy in room of West, who had died a few days aefore. This office he held from 1820 to his death. He was never married.

Sir Thomas Lawrence had all the qualities of personal manner and artistic style necessary to make a fashionable painter, and among English portrait painters he takes a high place, though not as high as that given to him in his lifetime. His more ambitious works, in the classical style, such as his once celebrated "Satan," are practically forgotten.

The best display of Lawrence's work is in the Waterloo Gallery of Windsor, a collection of much historical interest. "Master Lambton," painted for Lord Durham at the price of 600 guineas, is regarded as one of his best portraits, and a fine head in the National Gallery, London, shows his power to advantage. The Life and Correspondence of Sir T. Lawrence, by DE Williams, appeared in 1831.
