`` Damn you, Adams '' -- Jess was beginning to recover from his initial shock.

As different physically as the tall, angular Jefferson was from the chubby, rotund Adams, the seven were striking individualists.

Brooks Adams was consistent in his admonishments to historians about the necessary tools or insights they needed to possess.

It was this basic trait that separated Adams from the ranks of professional historians and led him to commit time and time again what was his most serious offense against the historical method -- namely, the tendency to assume the truth of an hypothesis before submitting it to the test of facts.

J. T. Shotwell was appalled by such spurious history as that which attributed the fall of the Carolingian empire to the woolen trade, and he urged Adams to `` transform his essay into a real history, embodying not merely those facts which fit into his theory, but also the modifications and exceptions ''.

In summary, Brooks Adams felt that the nature of history was order and that the order so discovered was as much subject to historical laws as the forces of nature.

Adams was not breaking new ground when he claimed that the worship of an unseen power was in reality a reflection of man's inability to cope with his environment.

But Adams was one of the first to suggest that this human incompetence was the only motivating factor behind religion.

To Adams that age in which religion exercised power over the entire culture of the race was one of imagination, and it is largely the admiration he so obviously held for such eras that betrays a peculiar religiosity -- a sentiment he would have probably denied.

Hunt's first meeting with Adams was held in March 1959.

It was enacted July 14, 1798, with an expiration date of March 3, 1801 ( the day before Adams ' presidential term was to end ).

Fuller attended Milton Academy in Massachusetts, and after that began studying at Harvard University, where he was affiliated with Adams House.

When the club folded after the 1870 season, Wright was hired by Boston businessman, Ivers Whitney Adams to organize a new team in Boston, and he did, bringing three teammates and the " Red Stockings " nickname along ( Most nicknames were then only nicknames, neither club names nor registered trademarks, so the migration was informal ).

According to a 2010 interview on Blog Talk Radios, Lessons Learned, Rick Tocquigny, when asked if Mumy was a Jonathan Harris fan, before Mumy's first meeting with Harris on Lost in Space, he said at age 5, he was too young to watch his mentor's show The Third Man which was probably late at night, but was old enough to watch The Bill Dana Show ( which also starred Harris's real-life best friend Don Adams ).

The game was inspired by Richard Adams ' fantasy novel Watership Down, and the players were given the opportunity to take on the role of rabbits.

Maguire's stature was such that a delegation from Gerry Adams sought his support in 1986, but was rejected.

More recently Howe ( 2007 ) portrayed Adams as the exemplar and moral leader in an era of modernization.

In the PBS miniseries The Adams Chronicles ( 1976 ), he was portrayed by David Birney, William Daniels, Marcel Trenchard, Stephen Austin, Steven Grover and Mark Winkworth.

He was also portrayed by Anthony Hopkins in the 1997 film Amistad, and again by Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the 2008 HBO television miniseries John Adams ; the HBO series received criticism for needless historical and temporal distortions in its portrayal.

The Death of Klinghoffer, Nixon in China and Doctor Atomic by John Adams, Dead Man Walking by Jake Heggie, and Anna Nicole by Mark-Anthony Turnage exemplify the dramatisation on stage of events in recent living memory, where characters portrayed in the opera were alive at the time of the premiere performance.

The character of Gerry Adams has been portrayed in a number of films, TV programmes or in fiction:

In the previous books, computers had been portrayed quite negatively, reflecting Adams ' then views on the subject.

On screen he has been portrayed by Franklyn McLeay in the silent short King John ( 1899 ), which recreates John's death scene at the end of the Shakespeare play, Jonathan Adams in the BBC TV drama series The Devil's Crown ( 1978 ), and John Thaw in the BBC Shakespeare version of The Life and Death of King John ( 1984 ).

He then portrayed Adams in Andrew L. Stone's Never Put It in Writing and had a small role as Anthony Gamble in The Moon-Spinners, a James Neilson Walt Disney production which co-starred Hayley Mills, Eli Wallach, and Peter McEnery.

In the 2008 miniseries John Adams, Rutledge was portrayed by Clancy O ' Connor.

Adams is portrayed as sexually frustrated by the morals of his time and seeks freedom in the east where he has numerous encounters.

He dresses like Inspector Clouseau, drives a Matra Murena car and acts like Maxwell Smart, who was portrayed by Gadget's voice actor Don Adams.

In 1959, Graham was portrayed by actor Nick Adams in the Warner Bros. film The FBI Story, starring James Stewart, Murray Hamilton and Vera Miles.

Following this, Routledge had roles in several more unsuccessful Broadway productions including a musical called Love Match, in which she played Queen Victoria ; the legendary 1976 Leonard Bernstein flop 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in which she portrayed every First Lady from Abigail Adams to Edith Roosevelt ; and a 1981 musical called Say Hello to Harvey based on the Mary Coyle Chase play Harvey, which closed in Toronto before reaching New York.

Maxwell Smart, code number Agent 86, ( born 1930, portrayed by Don Adams ) is the central character.

Adams was in fact over nine years younger than Armin Shimerman, the actor who portrayed her son Quark, and was heavily made up to appear as an older Ferengi woman.

Daniels ' first network television appearance came in 1952 when he portrayed the young John Quincy Adams, eldest son of John and Abigail Adams in the Hallmark Hall of Fame drama A Woman for the Ages.

Daniels then portrayed teacher ( later principal ) George Feeny at John Adams High School in Boy Meets World from 1993 to 2000.

The events of the American Revolution are portrayed through the perspectives of multiple characters, including Sentry Hugh White of the British army, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Lieutenant-General Thomas Gage, George Washington, Governor Thomas Hutchinson, Captain James Hall, Abigail Adams, Paul Revere, Dr. Joseph Warren, and Major John Pitcairn.

The series was retooled extensively, with two of the five waitresses from the first season, actresses Susan Sullivan and Wendy Schaal who played waitresses Lois Adams and Vicki Allen respectively, being replaced with actress Louise Lasser who portrayed waitress Maggie McBurney.

Veteran actor John Doucette played the exasperated Captain Andrews, a character not unlike " the Chief " portrayed by Edward Platt in Adams ' earlier Get Smart.

The rest of the main cast included Robert Walden and Linda Kelsey, who played general-assignment reporters Joe Rossi and Billie Newman, respectively ( Kelsey joined the show in the fourth episode, replacing Rebecca Balding, who had portrayed reporter Carla Mardigian during the show's first three episodes ); Mason Adams, who played managing editor Charles Hume, an old friend of Lou's who had convinced him to move from Minneapolis to Los Angeles ; Jack Bannon, who played assistant city editor Art Donovan ; Daryl Anderson, who played photographer Dennis Price, usually referred to as " Animal "; and Nancy Marchand, who played the widowed, patrician publisher, Margaret Pynchon, a character loosely based on real life newspaper publishers Dorothy Chandler of the Los Angeles Times and Katharine Graham of The Washington Post.

in others by business and professional acumen, as with Franklin and Adams, or, in Hamilton's case, by an influential marriage.

John Adams took to heart the advice given him by his legal mentor, Jeremiah Gridley, to `` pursue the study of the law, rather than the gain of it ''.

John Adams asserted in the Continental Congress' Declaration of Rights that the demands of the colonies were in accordance with their charters, the British Constitution and the common law, and Jefferson appealed in the Declaration of Independence `` to the tribunal of the world '' for support of a revolution justified by `` the laws of nature and of nature's God ''.

What is exposited by this observation is not the inherent prejudices of Englishmen but the Anglophobia of Brooks Adams.

Adams contended that once such a special class had been created it became a vested interest and sought to maintain itself by assuming exclusive control over the relationships between God and man.

The importance of knowing in what chemical forms the hormone may exist is accentuated by the recent observation that there exists an abnormally long-acting TSH in blood drawn from many thyrotoxic patients ( Adams, 1958 ).

While Hunt negotiated with Bidwills, similar offers were made by Bud Adams, Bob Howsam, and Max Winter.

They were signed into law by President John Adams.

Living first in Philadelphia, then seeking refuge close in Virginia, he wrote a book entitled The Prospect Before Us ( read and approved by Vice President Jefferson before publication ) in which he called the Adams administration a " continual tempest of malignant passions " and the President a " repulsive pedant, a gross hypocrite and an unprincipled oppressor ".

Adams wrote, " There are laws of political as well as physical gravitation ; and if an apple severed by its native tree cannot choose but fall to the ground, Cuba, forcibly disjoined from its own unnatural connection with Spain, and incapable of self-support, can gravitate only towards the North American Union which by the same law of nature, cannot cast her off its bosom.

Maguire had also been contacted by supporters of Gerry Adams, then and now President of Sinn Féin, and a supporter of the change in the Provisional IRA constitution.

John Adams, known by baseball fans as " The Drummer ", has played a bass drum at nearly every home game since 1973.

During this period, which has become known as baseball's dead-ball era, Cub infielders Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance were made famous as a double-play combination by Franklin P. Adams ' poem Baseball's Sad Lexicon.

Dilbert is an American comic strip written and drawn by Scott Adams.

Adams responded in the February 2, 1998 strip and in his book The Joy of Work, simply by restating Solomon's argument, apparently suggesting that it was absurd and required no rebuttal.

" In September of the same year, Griffith mocked Adams by mimicking his Pippy the Ziphead creation with a strip showing stiff, Dilbert-like creations in an office setting and one of the characters saying, " I sense a joke was delivered.

Dilbert has occasionally been criticized for alleged " insensitivity " and off-color jokes, as documented by Adams in The Joy of Work.

In It's Not Funny If I Have to Explain It, Adams recounts having been attacked for the alleged political content of his work, although in the case of one such strip ( where oil drilling kills a unicorn ) he excuses himself by saying " I just thought the image was funny.
