Lolo Soetoro's first name meant "crazy" in Hawaiian.

"But the meaning didn't suit the man, for Lolo possessed the good manners and easy grace of his people," Barack Obama wrote of his Indonesian stepfather in Dreams From My Father.

Obama wrote that Soetoro's "tennis game was good, his smile uncommonly even, and his temperament imperturbable."

But Obama's mother's second husband did have his exotic side, which he shared with the young Obama during the years they lived in Indonesia.

"With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chili peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)," Obama wrote. "LIke many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share."

Soetoro worked for the Indonesian government and later a U.S. oil company before he and Obama's mother divorced in the late 1970s. Soetoro died of a liver ailment in 1987 at age 51.

โ€œI got hoodwinked to go on that. I was supposed to make a speech in front of the Chicago Economic Club, which is a big deal. Itโ€™s a very prestigious place, everything was beautiful. And all of a sudden I understand Iโ€™m being interviewed by this gentleman and heโ€™s got a reputation for being about โ€” oh, Iโ€™d love to see him do Kamala [Harris]. He should do Kamala. That would be beautiful. But heโ€™s a tough cookie and heโ€™s the chairman of Bloomberg. Heโ€™s a big guy so all of a sudden Iโ€™m being interviewed, and I wasnโ€™t happy about it because I found out his reputation precedes him,โ€ Trump said.

The demonisation of BlackRockโ€™s Larry Fink

All he wanted to do was save the planet while making his firm a fortune. Henry Tricks meets the face of woke capitalism

Fink was born in 1952 to a Jewish family in Van Nuys, a sprawling suburb. His parents were Democrats โ€“ his father ran a shoe shop and his mother was a university professor. He went to state schools, which, he says, made him the person he is. His entrepreneurialism started young. The family would visit the Mojave desert, where Larry would collect snakes (conventional pets were not allowed at home because his mother was allergic to animal hair). He developed a small business dealing in them and would post his haul to collectors across America โ€“ until some slithered out in transit. When he was 12 or 13, the FBI showed up at his parentsโ€™ door. Despite the scolding, his passion for snakes continues. He can still identify a venomous one at a glance.

USS Rupertus maneuvered as close as 20 feet (6 m) to Forrestal for 90 minutes, directing her own on-board fire hoses at the burning flight and hangar deck on the starboard side, and at the port-side aft 5-inch gun mount. Rear Admiral and Task Group commander Harvey P. Lanham, aboard Forrestal, called the actions of Rupertus commanding officer Commander Edwin Burke an "act of magnificent seamanship".
