How a Black Country MP tipped to be Prime Minister faked his own death and disappeared - Part 2: Family business
The article discusses the decline of John Stonehouse's political career and his subsequent financial struggles. Stonehouse, once a rising star in British politics, found himself out of favor and without a position in Harold Wilson's new government due to spying allegations. At 49, his political career was waning, and his business ventures were failing as he tried to juggle funds to cover losses. Julian Hayes, Stonehouse's great-nephew, shares memories of the opulent lifestyle Stonehouse maintained, as described in his book 'Stonehouse: Cabinet Minister, Fraudster, Spy.' Hayes recounts the luxury his great-uncle afforded, including private schooling for his children. Stonehouse's financial concerns grew with the prospect of Labour losing an upcoming General Election, prompting him to set up three companies and become involved with the British Bangladeshi Trust, which was a significant misstep.

Lamar Hunt, the Midas of Sports
Kansas City, often overlooked in sports history, is significant due to the Kansas City Chiefs, recently crowned NFL champions for the third time since 2020. The Chiefs were founded by Lamar Hunt, son of oil tycoon HL Hunt. Lamar Hunt's passion for sports led him to establish the American Football League as an alternative to the NFL when his attempts to create or move an NFL team to Dallas were rebuffed. The Chiefs, originally the Dallas Texans, moved to Kansas City after negotiations with New Orleans fell through, influenced by Mayor Harold Roe Bartle. Hunt's influence extended beyond football; he was also instrumental in founding a soccer league and had a keen interest in tennis. His wife Norma, who passed away in 2023, was the only woman to have attended every Super Bowl, a term she and her husband coined.

Who was Kathleen Lynn? The diaries of a radical Irish woman
Kathleen Lynn's diaries provide a unique perspective on her life as a radical, revolutionary, socialist, and republican woman in Ireland. As a medical doctor and activist, she co-founded St Ultan's Hospital for Sick Infants in Dublin in response to high infant mortality rates, particularly exacerbated by the 1919 flu pandemic. Her diaries, spanning four decades, reveal her dedication to healthcare, activism, and the fight for Irish freedom. Lynn's innovative approaches to pediatric care and her advocacy for a National Children's Hospital, although never realized due to opposition from the Catholic Church, underscore her commitment to improving children's health and welfare. The diaries, now published, offer a detailed account of her professional and personal life, advocating for her recognition and the naming of the new National Children's Hospital in her honor.
