Jack M. Cox (August 20, 1921 – April 27, 1990) was an oil equipment executive from Houston who was the 1962 Republican gubernatorial nominee in the U.S. state of Texas.
Cox was born in or near Breckenridge, the county seat of Stephens County in West Texas. He graduated from the University of North Texas at Denton. He was a veteran of World War II. From 1947-1953, he served as a Democrat in the Texas House of Representatives from District 108, which included Stephens County.
In 1960, Cox, a "Shivercrat" ally of former Governor Allan Shivers, challenged the three-term governor, Marion Price Daniel, Sr., of Liberty in southeastern Texas. Daniel was a veteran officeholder, having been a U.S. senator from 1953-1957. His wife and son, Price Daniel, Jr., were direct descendants of the legendary Sam Houston, first president of the Republic of Texas. Cox polled 619,834 votes (40.5 percent) in the Democrat primary, as Daniel prevailed with 908,992 votes (59.5 percent). After defeating Cox, Daniel overwhelmed the Republican nominee, William M. Steger, a Dallas native who was later a U.S. District Court judge, appointed by U.S. President Richard M. Nixon. The federal courthouse in downtown Tyler is named for Steger.
The following is a list of characters from the NBC/ABCAmerican comedy-drama Scrubs.
Zach Braff portrays Dr. John Michael "J.D." Dorian, the show's original protagonist and narrator. J.D. begins the series as a staff intern, progressing to resident and then attending physician. His voice-over to the series comes from his internal thoughts and often features surreal fantasies. J.D. was a recurring character in Season 9, though he was still considered to be the protagonist of the episodes in which he appeared. Braff received top billing as a main cast member in each of his appearances for that season. He did not appear in the last episode of the series, titled "Our Thanks," and no mention was made of him.
J.D.'s name is based on that of Dr. Jonathan Doris, a college friend of series creator Bill Lawrence. Doris served as medical adviser to the show.
