Eight-part series exploring the achievements and legacies of some of the greatest figures of the 20th century. Seven well-known advocates each front an hour-long documentary arguing the case for four people from a different field of human endeavour - leaders, explorers, scientists, entertainers, sports stars, artists and writers, and activists. At the end of each documentary the public vote for their favourite. The icon who wins the public vote in each category is put through to a live final, which sees all of the celebrity advocates return to fight their icon's case - the public then vote again for the person they believe was the greatest figure of the 20th century. The 20th century was a time of extraordinary change. One hundred years of progress which shaped not only the society of the day, but generations to come. A century of seismic shifts, that saw countless breakthroughs and innovations, which would impact our world in ways never seen before. Behind this progress were incredible individuals who chose to defy convention, and in doing so changed the world forever. The life's work of these icons represent benchmarks now set for humanity - from scientists whose discoveries changed the life of billions and redefined what we know about our world to the sports stars and explorers who pushed the boundaries of what humankind thought possible - their stories represent the pinnacle of society's achievements. The series begins with leaders, and sees a well-known figure, passionate about the subject, examining the achievements and legacies of the people whose decisions affect all our lives. 20th century leaders oversaw great victories, unimaginable hardships, sweeping social change, and the worst conflicts in human history.

FATHER COX'S ARMY REACHES CAPITAL TO PETITION CONGRESS
(86)
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Followed by a host of idle, 10,000 strong, the Rev. James R. Cox, of Pittsburgh, presents the demands of the "hunger caravan" to the Federal Government. In Capitol Plaza extra police guards are ordered out as a precautionary measure but the demonstration is peaceful with the marchers concentrating entirely on rations of sauerkraut and frankfurters. After a tedious rain-soaked trek from Pennsylvania, wet but not discouraged, they stand behind their religious leader and urge the solons to action. A $5,000,000,000 bond issue to carry on government building works is asked for jobless relief.

NEWARK, N. J. -- Joie Ray, one-time world's greatest middle-distance cinderpath star, turns to the goofy gallop for the dollars he may win. Teamed with Alice Krug, of St. Albans, New York, he has trudged around Dreamland Park pavilion floor since October 22. And the once great amateur speed king is just as chesty as he was in the palmiest days of his career. Necessity drove him to such competition as this, and, he declares, he can't eat the trophies his track activities brought him.

WINDY CITY MOURNS AS FLAMES SWEEP FAMOUS RESORT
(98)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Spontaneous combustion of a paint supply, on hand to give Riverview Park a new dress, results in a fire that razes most of the pleasure pavilions in the amusement center. The conflagration proves unmanageable for the private fire-fighting force. The rapid spread of the blaze threatens the entire place, and the city department is summoned to assist in controlling the fire. The racing roller coaster, encircling the entire grounds, is consumed, with other popular concessions, including the famous "Bug House" that provided gaiety for millions, as the licking flames mount 200 feet in the air. One of the capitals of hilarity crippled as the new season dawns.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Like a bolt from the blue, while 130 men toiled at double-time to bring the project to completion on schedule, a gas formation in the sub-basement set off a blast that rocked the whole city and wrecked the first floor of the 17-story structure.

Ambulance surgeons and rescue squads administer to the stricken and comb the ruins for survivors, while state and local officials launch investigations into the underlying causes of the fatal explosion, under the personal supervision of Gov.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Jews of the world greet the advent of the famous spring festival by participating in the Seder ritual, the family fete that marks the beginning of the 7-day sacred holiday.

One of the most picturesque occasions of the year in the ancient religion that has endured nearly 6000 years.

ROME, Italy -- Premier Mussolini sets off the hundred explosions that start the mountainous job of rehabilitating the Pontine disease-infested swamps.

And at a given signal hundreds of war veterans and farmers set to their task, in the reclamation of the vast area, which has been heretofore deemed impossible of salvaging. More than 100 tractors plow over the ground in the huge project, which Il Duce is determined to turn into fertile grain-growing land. Another feather in the cap of the indomitable Premier.
