Forbes (1919-90), was decorated for his service in World War II, and he later took over the publishing business, then foundering, turning it into a success. He ran unsuccessfully in New Jersey's 1957 gubernatorial election. His colourful lifestyle marked by lavish parties, motorcycling with Elizabeth Taylor, and sailing in hot air balloons was celebrated in Forbes magazine and in books both by him and about him. On his death, his eldest son, Malcolm S. ("Steve") Forbes, Jr. (b. 1947), took over the magazine, assisted by his three brothers. He tried unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for U.S. president in 1996 and 2000

Edward Forbes
born Feb. 12, 1815, Douglas, Isle of Man died Nov. 18, 1854, near Edinburgh, Scot. British naturalist. After studying medicine, he left the field to devote himself to natural history. He conducted extensive research on mollusks and sea stars, participating in dredgings and expeditions. While studying ocean life, he developed an interest in the geographic distribution of animals. Later he divided the plants of Britain into five well-defined groups, maintaining that most of them, like land animals, had migrated to the islands over continuous land during three separate periods: before, during, and after the glacial passage. He held numerous institutional and academic posts, and he was a major figure in establishing the fields of oceanography, biogeography, and paleoecology

John Forbes Nash
He began teaching at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951 but left in the late 1950s because of mental illness; thereafter he was informally associated with Princeton. Beginning in the 1950s with his influential thesis "Non-cooperative Games," Nash established the mathematical principles of game theory. His theory, known as the Nash solution or Nash equilibrium, attempted to explain the dynamics of threat and action among competitors. Despite its practical limitations, it was widely applied by business strategists. He shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics with John C. Harsanyi (b. 1920) and Reinhard Selten (b. 1930). A film version of his life, A Beautiful Mind (2001), won an Academy Award for best picture
