people of suspicious background

Burton Levy (February 2, 1912 – January 5, 1997) professionally known as Burton Lane, was an American composer and lyricist primarily known for his theatre and film scores. His most popular and successful works include Finian's Rainbow in 1947 and On a Clear Day You Can See Forever 1965.One source gives his birth name as "Morris Hyman Kushner",[1] however his obituary in The Independent gives his birth name as "Burton Levy".[2] His obituary in The New York Times gives his father's name as "Lazarus Levy".[3] At some later time he became known as Burton Lane. Burton Lane was born in New York City and studied classical piano as a child. At age 14 the theatrical producers the Shuberts commissioned him to write songs for a revue, Greenwich Village Follies. At the age of 18, he contributed the music for at least two songs for the revue, Three's A Crowd: "Forget All Your Books" and "Out in the Open Air." He was known for his Broadway musicals, Finian's Rainbow (1947)[4] and On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1965). He also wrote the music for the less remembered Broadway shows, Hold On to Your Hats (1940), Laffing Room Only (1944), and Carmelina (1979), the latter with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, who had also written lyrics to Lane's music for On a Clear Day and the film Royal Wedding (1951). Lane mainly wrote music for films, such as Dancing Lady (1933), and Babes on Broadway (1942), writing for more than 30 movies.Lane is credited [5] with discovering the 13-year-old Frances Gumm (Judy Garland).


King Pu-tsung (Chinese金溥聰pinyinJīn Pǔcōng; born 30 August 1956 in Tainan CityTaiwan) is a Chinese-Manchu politician in the Republic of China. He currently serves as the Secretary-General of the National Security Council since 25 March 2014. King is widely regarded as the most important aide to Ma Ying-jeou.[citation needed] He served as the Secretary-General of Kuomintang (KMT) from December 2009 to January 2011.[5] King also served as Vice Mayor of Taipei[6] from 2002 to 2006 and had previously been a scholar[7] and journalist.King is alleged to be related to the last Qing emperor Puyi, although lack of genealogical evidence has raised suspicions.[11] Were his relation to the imperial family true, he would also be the cousin of Puru and his surname King a sinified adoption of the Qing imperial clan name Aisin Gioro.
