He was born as Stanislaus Pascal Franchot Tone in Niagara Falls, New York, the youngest son of Dr. Frank Jerome Tone, the wealthy president of the Carborundum Company, and his socially-prominent wife, Gertrude Van Vrancken Franchot.

FTC Settlement Over Saint-Gobain Acquisition of Carborundum to Remedy Lessening of Competition in Three Markets
The Federal Trade Commission has negotiated a settlement with the French firm, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, and its U.S. subsidiary, Saint-Gobain/Norton Industrial Ceramics Corporation, of Worcester, Massachusetts, to resolve charges that the firm's acquisition of The Carborundum Company from the British Petroleum Company likely would lead to monopolies or near-monopolies, and thus raise prices, for three products used in industrial furnaces and home appliances.
The FTC alleged that the acquisition would:

Being with Liz Taylor was like sticking an eggbeater in your brain ... Robert Wagner on his Hollywood conquests
Last updated at 2:22 AM on 22nd February 2009
Some beautiful women are passive in the bedroom. They're gorgeous, they know they're gorgeous and they don't feel the need to do anything beyond being gorgeous.
Elizabeth Taylor was not one of those women. Being with her was like sticking an eggbeater in your brain.
I first met her at one of actor Roddy McDowall's parties before I signed up with 20th Century Fox in 1948. Like every other male animal around the world, I was crazy about her.
Vulnerable: Elizabeth Taylor on the set of Suddenly Last Summer in the Fifties
People always talk about her spectacular beauty or her violet eyes, but that is to overlook her emotional appeal, which I think is centred on her vulnerability.
She is a wonderful woman in an unusual way: great humanity and great sensuality are not commonly packaged together, but, when they are, the whole world knows it.
I loved her and I think she loved me, but on a practical level, Elizabeth was not the woman I needed in my life. With Elizabeth, there was a great deal of maintenance. This is not a woman who gets up in the morning and fixes

History
The Carborundum Company was incorporated in Monongahela, Pa in 1891 by Dr. Edward G. Acheson. The rapidly growing industry of hydroelectric power drew Acheson and his company to Niagara Falls, NY in 1895. At this time, Carborundum employed 35 individuals and that number grew to about 6,000 by 1944.
Carborundum has seen its days of mergers and acquisitions, beginning in 1977 when the Kennecott Corporation acquired its operating and manufacturing facilities. Kennecott Corporation was acquired by the Standard Oil Company in 1982, thus allowing Carborundum to become a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company. In 1987, Carborundum merged into BP America, Inc., which is a subsidiary of British Petroleum. At this time, it ceased making grinding wheels. However, grinding wheels were still manufactured at the Logan, Ohio plant, which was sold by Carborundum to its employees in 1983 and has no association with Carborundum. In its heyday, the Carborundum Company was a tremendously sophisticated organization that had plants and distribution centers throughout the world.

In 1944, Acheson attended the Bretton Woods Conference as the head delegate from the State department. At this conference the post-war international economic structure was designed. The conference was the birthplace of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the last of which would evolve into the World Trade Organization.

"In fact, the idea of a strong Turkey-Israeli-US trifecta is nothing new.

In classified studies written at the Pentagon's behest over the years, Wohlstetter was a serious Turkey booster; when Perle ascended to his post in the Reagan-era Pentagon, he began implementing Wohlstetter's vision, conducting regular meetings in Ankara and, in 1986, closing a deal for a five-year Defense and Economic Cooperation Agreement with Turkey which the Financial Times characterized as 'something of a personal triumph' for Perle. It wasn't so bad for Turkey, either: After Israel and Egypt, Turkey became the third-largest recipient of US military aid, and got a nice break on debts owed to the United States."

Turkey-Israel-US "trifecta"
To Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and "other hawks, the importance of Turkey not just to the United States but to Israel is self-evident," Jason Vest wrote August 23, 2002, in The Nation. "As a secular Muslim state, Turkey has always been an attractive political and military ally to the Israelis; respectful of the close relationship between the US and Israel, over a decade ago the Turks began to appreciate the value for Turkish-US relations in being close with Israel, and have also grown to appreciate how useful an ally the American Jewish lobby can be against the Greek- and Armenian-American lobbies."In fact, the idea of a strong Turkey-Israeli-US trifecta is nothing new. It was a cherished idea of Perle mentor and Committee on the Present Danger principal Albert Wohlstetter, the University of Chicago mathematician and RAND Corporation consultant who was key in drawing up the Pentagon's strategic and nuclear blueprints during the cold war.

For Turkish Government, Genocide = Defamation
"What happens when you refer to Turkey's 1915-1923 genocide of Armenians, accurately, as 'genocide'?" asks the Los Angeles Times. "In Turkey, you face a possible three-year jail term, even if it wasn't you using the term but a character in your novel.

Vladimir Putin: Who gave NATO right to kill Gaddafi?
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sharply criticized the Western coalition enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya on Tuesday and said it has no mandate to kill Muammar Gaddafi and he questioned: “Who gave NATO right to kill Gaddafi?’
Actually, Putin must be known its answer!
ERDOGAN; He is the last winner of Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights(!!) but Erdogan sold him after EU and Obama’s phone.
EU; Double faced EU is all time in denial. In recent years,Herman Van Rompuy has seemed to very happy with the Libyan tyrant.
SARKOZY; yesterday they were close enough to use the same toothpick, but today Sarkozy is ready to be his executioner.
CAMERON; David Cameron might be unhappy because he can’t show his hospitality to Gaddafi but his predecessor Tony Blair has done it faultless.
BERLUSCONI; kiss your elders hand! Berlusconi did it with a great courtesy..But now they are enemy..Disgust!
OBAMA; Obama has signed his death warrant!
THE ARABS; They only know empty talk and sold Gaddafi like Erdogan.
This is a fact that every dictator has an expiration date.
We have seen it with Saddam Hussein,Hosni Mubarak’s end, now we watching Gaddafi’s, may be in the next, the bell tolls for Syrian’s Asad.
