Richard Katz (November 21, 1888 – November 8, 1968) was a Germanjournalist, travel writer, and essayist from Bohemia. While writing both grandiose and humble prose, his style is consistently imbued with a sense of humor, humility and love for all things living.
Early years
After graduation Katz studied law at The German University in Prague. During his studies, he wrote for a variety of newspapers and magazines. Upon graduation, he began work with the now defunct Vossische Zeitung newspaper in their Prague office. During this placement, he spent a year in East Asia working as a traveling reporter.
Career in Journalism
After the First World War, Katz moved to Leipzig and in 1924 he became director of the Leipzig Publishing Company, a position he held for two years. In the years between 1928 to 1930, he was a clerk for the Ullstein publishing house in Berlin. While working in this position, Katz founded the Green Post, a periodical which very quickly reached a circulation of over one million. The financial success allowed Katz to establish himself as an independent writer, giving him the freedom to travel the world while writing of his experiences.
Richard Katz is a former Democratic politician who served in the California State Assembly representing the 39th assembly district for 16 years from 1980 until 1996 when he was termed out and succeeded by Tony Cardenas. During his time in the Assembly, Assemblyman Katz served as both the Majority and Minority Leader for the Democratic party.

"We've been discussing with them for the last six or eight weeks an extension of the contract. It appeared he wasn't going to be able to fulfill the remaining two years of the contract because he couldn't recruit, he was running into obstacles at the university. It would not have been appropriate for that to continue."
"We've signed the agreement, and I'm waiting for a final copy."

"Most coaches' contracts have termination provisions, both with and without cause. In the 'without cause' situation, there's an amount the coach is entitled to under contract. That can be clear, or it can be interpreted in different manners -- and what's clear to us is not clear to (Cincinnati), and they say vice versa."
