German sculptor, graphic artist, and writer. He studied in Hamburg, Dresden, and Paris. He achieved fame in the 1920s and '30s with the execution of several war memorials for the Weimar Republic. He became an outstanding exponent of German Expressionism, though his prints and sculpture were also strongly influenced by medieval German wood carving. He also wrote Expressionist plays, which he illustrated with woodcuts and lithographs. His studio at G\u00fc strow was opened posthumously as a museum.

Earhart
U.S. aviator, the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. Born in Atchison, Kans., she worked as a military nurse in Canada during World War I and later as a social worker in Boston. In 1928 she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic in a plane, though as a passenger. In 1932 she accomplished the flight alone, becoming the first woman and the second person to do so. In 1935 she became the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California. In 1937 she set out with a navigator, Fred Noonan, to fly around the world; they had completed over two-thirds of the distance when her plane disappeared without a trace in the central Pacific Ocean. Speculation about her fate has continued to the present.
Earp
U.S. frontiersman. Born in Monmouth, Ill., he worked in the 1870s as a police officer in Wichita and Dodge City, where he befriended the gunmen Doc Holliday and B. Masterson. He later worked as a guard for Wells Fargo. By 1881 he had moved to Tombstone, Ariz., living as a gambler and a saloon guard. His brother Virgil became town marshal, and his other brothers (James, Morgan, and Warren) bought real estate and businesses. A feud with the Clanton gang ended in a shootout at the O.K. Corral in which three of the Clanton gang were killed. In 1882 Morgan was murdered, and Wyatt, Warren, and some friends killed two suspects in retaliation. Accused of murder, Wyatt fled to Colorado and later settled in California. Stuart Lake's Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal (1931), written with Earp's collaboration, portrayed him as a fearless lawman.
