Clare Hollingworth (10 October 1911 – 10 January 2017) was an English journalist and author. She was the first war correspondent to report the outbreak of World War II, described as "the scoop of the century".[1]
A rookie reporter for The Daily Telegraph in 1939, she spotted German forces massed on the Polish border, while travelling from Poland to Germany. She later helped rescue thousands of people from Hitler's forces by arranging British visas.

Victor Aubrey Lownes III (April 17, 1928 – January 11, 2017)
was an executive for HMH Publishing Company Inc. (later known as Playboy Enterprises) from 1955 through the early 1980s. Soon after he met Hugh Hefner in 1954, Hefner started Playboy magazine, and Lownes eventually joined his publishing company, serving in various capacities as vice president. Lownes was a close confidant of Hefner and gained a reputation of dating Playboy Playmates.
Lownes headed Playboy Europe and the UK Playboy Clubs from the mid-1960s until his dismissal in the early 1980s. Lownes oversaw Playboy Enterprises's move into casino gambling in the UK in the 1960s, which became Playboy's most successful business other than its publishing until the advent of cable television. He oversaw the most successful part of Hefner's attempt to diversify out of publishing and into motion pictures, hotels and casino gambling. During his time as head of Playboy Europe, he was Britain's highest paid executive, drawing a large salary and eventually becoming Playboy Enterprises's second biggest shareholder.[1] Lownes is credited with creating Playboy Clubs in the United States.[2]"why ride a vespa when you can push a lambretta?"
