He was 53. (July 12)He was President Bush's third press secretary, brought in to revitalize a second-term administration increasingly unpopular and off message. Tony Snow brought to the job the credentials of a journalist, and the polish of a TV star.BUSH SOT: "Tony already knows most of you and he's agreed to take the job anyway. And i'm really glad he did." And the former conservative pundit took it despite being fresh off a bout with colon cancer.(From 5/16/06 tape, choking up) SNOW SOT: ..having gone through this last year and I said this to Chris Wallace was the best thing that ever happen to me. (File footage Snow walking, etc.) A natural wordsmith, Snow defended Bush policies with gusto -- and clearly relished the cut and thrust of his daily meetings with reporters. SNOW SOT: "The Palestinians have not been bankrupted Helen. As you know Hamas is a terrorist organisation, we do not give money to terrorist organisations. (stills) Snow was an editorial writer when he first came to the White House -- to write speeches for Bush's father.(file footage Fox News Sunday) But most Americans got to know HIM through TV -- as the genial but acerbic host of Fox News Sunday.(Back to file At the White House podium, Snow was an unflinching Bush booster.(Nat sound band playing) But away from it, he was a devout family man, who cut loose playing flute with a rock band.(Back to briefing room announcement) And his TIME at the podium was fleeting. Ten months after starting, his cancer was back... SNOW: SOT (12:43) "We have found a small growth in my lower abdomen ... Aides were in tears, reporters stunned... SNOW: SOT (12:43) And I'll miss you each and every day. Especially when I'm sore and filled up with drugs."(Snow and Perino) Snow eventually handed the job to his deputy, Dana Perino, but not before telling a banquet of White House correspondents Washington's NOT the snake pit it's cracked up to be. SNOW SOT: it's a SMALL TOWN WHERE WE'RE QUITE OFTEN BOUND TOGETHER BY EXTRODINARY EXPERIENCES AND THE UNIQUE OF HONOR OF SITTING AT A SEAT OF GOVERNMENT OF A NATION THAT NOT ONLY REMAKES HISTORY BUT DEFINES WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A GOOD COUNTRY. Looking out at the great and the good that evening, he offered this advice: if you see someone in need, do some good, and "pass it on."

Germany Opens Memorial to Gays Killed by Nazis SelectPlusGermany Opens Memorial to Gays Killed by NazisGermany Opens Memorial to Gays Killed by NazisThe Associated PressNear the memorial to Jews killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust, a new memorial pays tribute to homosexuals persecuted during the Third Reich. (May 27)German officials are inaugurating a memorial to the thousands of homosexuals killed under the Nazis.The memorial is on the edge of Berlin's Tiergarten park - just across from a memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.Designers say the simple design was done for a reason.SOT: Ingar Dragset, memorial designer: "We proposed to make a concrete stele, a concrete slab that is similar to Peter Eisenman memorial on the other side of the street here (the Holocaust Memorial), which has 2,711 slabs. We wanted to make a story that connects both the homosexual victims and the Jewish victims in a similar way, but of course, we are also telling a different story."Visitors can look into the window and see a film of same-sex couples kissing. SOT: Michael Elmgreen, memorial designer: "For us it was quite important to have a direct imagery of a love scene, a passionate scene, an emotional scene between two same sex persons. Because, that is the main problem in homophobia. Like, you can get whatever rights, you can get acceptance on an abstract level, but they don't want to look at us."Nazi Germany declared homosexuality an aberration and a threat to the German race. Some 50,000 homosexuals were convicted as criminals. An estimated 10 to 15, 000 gay men were also sent to concentration camps. ___ ___, The Associated Press Tags: germany nazis-gays opens memorial gays killed by nazis
