| 3. | Hiroshi Yamauchi | ||
|
Former president of Nintendo of Japan. Yamauchi was born on November 7, 1927. Yamauchi's childhood, for the most part, was horrible. His father abandoned him at the age of five, and he was sent to live with his grandfather, Fusajiro Yamauchi, founder of a small Japanese playing card company called Nintendo. (Nintendo translated roughly means "Leave Luck to Heaven.")

In 1949, Fusajiro suffered a stroke and Hiroshi was made president of the company. He didn't waste any time. To prove he was going to take the company seriously and that no one should test his power, he fired nearly all of the employees, including his own relatives working there! In 1950 he set up Nintendo's first licensing deal - to have Walt Disney characters on their playing cards. In the early 1970's, Yamauchi recognized a new potential creative direction and income stream - computer games. Most of this interest grew from the rising popularity of arcade games in America. Nintendo started developing light gun technology to be used in arcades, including the popular game 'Battle Shark.' The 1980's brought Nintendo's greatest successes. Yamauchi began working with Gunpei Yokoi and the Game & Watch series was made. They were portable LCD games, which were a reasonable success. After this, Nintendo launched an arcade game called Radar Scope,... |

OPERATION WETBACK. Operation Wetback was a repatriation project of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service to remove illegal Mexican immigrants ("wetbacks") from the Southwest. During the first decades of the twentieth century, the majority of migrant workers who crossed the border illegally did not have adequate protection against exploitation by American farmers. As a result of the Good Neighbor Policy, Mexico and the United States began negotiating an accord to protect the rights of Mexican agricultural workers. Continuing discussions and modifications of the agreement were so successful that the Congress chose to formalize the "temporary" program into the Bracero program,qv authorized by Public Law 78. In the early 1940s, while the program was being viewed as a success in both countries, Mexico excluded Texas from the labor-exchange program on the grounds of widespread violation of contracts, discrimination against migrant workers, and such violations of their civil rights as perfunctory arrests for petty causes. Oblivious to the Mexican charges, some grower organizations in Texas continued to hire illegal Mexican workers and violate such mandates of PL 78 as the requirement to provide workers transportation costs from and to Mexico, fair and lawful wages, housing, and health services. World War IIqv and the postwar period exacerbated the Mexican exodus to the United States, as the demand for cheap agricultural laborers increased. Graft and corruption ... more...
