"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."
The Man in the Iron Mask (French: L'Homme au Masque de Fer) is a name given to a prisoner who was arrested as Eustache Dauger in 1669 or 1670 and held in a number of jails, including the Bastille and the Fortress of Pignerol (today Pinerolo, Italy). He was held in the custody of the same jailer, Bénigne Dauvergne de Saint-Mars, for a period of 34 years. He died on 19 November 1703 under the name of Marchioly, during the reign of Louis XIV of France (1643–1715). The possible identity of this man has been thoroughly discussed and has been the subject of many books, as no one ever saw his face because it was hidden by a mask of black velvet cloth.
Writer and philosopher Voltaire claimed (in the second edition of his Questions sur l'Encyclopédie, published in 1771) that the prisoner wore an iron mask and was the older, illegitimate brother of Louis XIV. In the late 1840s, writer Alexandre Dumas elaborated on the theme in the final installment of his Three Musketeers saga: here the prisoner is forced to wear an iron mask and is Louis XIV's identical twin. Dumas also presented a review of the ideas about the prisoner extant in his time (circa 1840) in the chapter "L'homme au masque de fer" of the sixth volume of his Crimes Célèbres.

Max Muiderman helemaal terug met Karakteristieke en Meeslepende Smartlap! Max Muiderman is een onvervalste Amsterdamse volkszanger, zeer geliefd en een artiest die al jaren meedraait in en rond onze hoofdstad. Een uiterst sympathieke zanger die geroemd wordt vanwege zijn bronzen stemgeluid. Typisch zo’n ouwe rot in het vak en bekend van hits als ‘Daar sta je dan’ en ‘Kleine crimineel’. Verder heeft hij de albums 'Kapones en stijl van nature', 'Ik ben zoals ik ben' en 'Max Muiderman' op zijn naam staan als ook de DVD 'Ik ben zoals ik ben'. De volkszanger die het levenslied en de smartlap, nummers met echte inhoud en een boodschap, een warm hart toedraagt, heeft een nieuwe single recht uit het leven opgenomen. ‘Maar geef me nog een kans’, dat verschijnt via Rood-Hit-Blauw Produkties, werd ge...

Heroic Hugh Jackman breathes the fire into Wolverine — with a vengeance! This pulse-pounding action thriller sinks razor-sharp adamantium claws into the mysterious origins of Logan/Wolverine: his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed/Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), and the ominous Weapon X program that unleashes his primal fury. Along the way, Wolverine also encounters legendary new mutants, including Deadpool and Gambit. You'll go "berserker" for this deeper, darker, more-spectacular-than-ever chapter of the X-Men saga!
Edward James Olmos's Oscar-nominated performance energizes this true- life story of a Los Angeles high school teacher who drives his students on to excellence at calculus. MPAA Rating: PG (c) 1988 Warner Bros. All Rights Reserved.
Kevin Costner directs and stars in this action-filled epic set in a post-apocalyptic American West. In the year 2013, a massive war has left most of the country in total disarray. Out of the chaos comes one man, determined to rebuild the American spirit, by delivering mail to provide much needed communication between the surviving pockets of communities. As his efforts begin to take hold, he finds himself in a fight for his life against a despotic general and an army of warriors who wish to continue their reign of terror. Co-starring Will Patton, Larenz Tate and Tom Petty.

The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, "Backseat Driver," which originally aired February 3, 1949. The highest production va...
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the police department of the city of Los Angeles, California. The LAPD has been copiously fictionalized in numerous movies, novels and television shows throughout its history. The department has also been associated with a number of controversies, mainly concerned with racial animosity, police brutality and police corruption. The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
