Each naturalized citizen had their individual dream of a Utopian dimension, a dream about their future life in the United States. Some call it the American dream. This article is one in a series about My Fellow Utopians.

Arianna Huffington (born Arianna Stasinopoulos; July 15, 1950) is a Greek American author and syndicated columnist. She is best known as co-founder of the news website The Huffington Post. A popular conservative commentator in the mid-1990s, she adopted more liberal political beliefs in the late 1990s. She is the ex-wife of former Republican congressman Michael Huffington.

In 2003, she ran as an independent candidate for Governor in the California recall election.

In 2009, Huffington was named as number 12 in Forbes‘ first-ever list of the Most Influential Women In Media. She has also moved up to number 42 in The Guardian‘s Top 100 in Media List.

On February 7, 2011, AOL announced it would acquire The Huffington Post for US$315 million and make Huffington president and editor in chief of The Huffington Post Media Group, which will include The Huffington Post and existing AOL properties such as Engadget, AOL Music, Patch Media, and StyleList.

Arianna’s story is unusual only because she is famous. Otherwise, she is very much the story of the American dream: a highly intelligent, determined person decides that she wants to make the best of her life. She looks around the world, as did the Pilgrims and tens of millions of Western and Eastern Europeans (and many others) over a period of four hundred years, and she sees promise in America. This nation of unlimited social mobility wins again. – Rick Jacobs in The Huffington Post

The Irish War is officially a part of history, but not for Finnean Whelan, an IRA veteran of almost 40 years. British Intelligence has produced evidence that he is the mastermind behind a conspiracy to assassinate the First Minister of Northern Ireland. For Whelan this is not only a mission of revenge, but marks the beginning of a journey into the past and the return to the one true love: Ireland.
