Bedford Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (420 words)
Bedford Brown (6 June 1795 - 6 December 1870) was a Democratic United States Senator from the State of North Carolina between 1829 and 1840.
Bedford Brown was born in what now is Locust Hill Township, Caswell County, North Carolina.
Note that images of Senator Bedford Brown often are confused with those of his son, Dr. Bedford Brown, M.D. Even the Library of Congress uses an incorrect photograph in its Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.
Sport | Marathon man Brown storms off in a huff (587 words)
Brown, who on Wednesday publicly criticised the organisers for not offering to pay him to appear in Sunday's race, despite finishing fourth in the 2000 Olympics, forfeited a $2,000 [£1,100] fee for taking part in a press conference after he refused to wear a T-shirt promoting the marathon's sponsor.
Bedford said the reason Brown, 33, had not been offered an appearance fee - which he could have expected to be around $25,000 - was because he had contacted the organisers only four weeks ago asking to run.
Bedford said Brown was wrong to allege the bad feeling between the two dated back to 1998, when the runner had claimed some of his leading rivals were using drugs.
