Oliver North
Oliver Laurence "Ollie" North (born October 7, 1943) is an American political commentator and television host, military historian, ''New York Times'' best-selling author, and a former United States Marine Corps lieutenant colonel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oliver North )〕 North is primarily remembered for his term as a National Security Council staff member during the Iran–Contra affair, a political scandal of the late 1980s. The scandal involved the clandestine sale of weapons to Iran, supposedly to encourage the release of U.S. hostages then held in Lebanon. North formulated the second part of the plan, which was to divert proceeds from the arms sales to support the Contra rebel groups in Nicaragua, which had been specifically prohibited under the Boland Amendment. He was the host of ''War Stories with Oliver North'' on Fox News Channel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=War Stories | Oliver North )〕

North was born in San Antonio, Texas, on October 7, 1943. He is the son of Ann Theresa (née Clancy) and Oliver Clay North, a U.S. Army major. He grew up in Philmont, New York, and graduated from Ockawamick Central High School in 1961.

While at Brockport, North spent a summer at the United States Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, and gained an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 1963. He received his commission as second lieutenant in 1968 (he missed a year due to injuries from an auto accident). One of North's classmates at the Academy was future secretary of the Navy and U.S. senator Jim Webb, whom he beat in a championship boxing match at Annapolis.〔Real Clear Sports (Top 10 Most Athletic Democrats )〕 Their graduating class included Dennis C.
