The Assassination Of John F Kennedy
Number of words: 3411 | Number of pages: 13.... come to light ... to make such further investigation, as the Commission finds desirable. In less than one week they found that a 'lone nut' killed JKF.

Generally, this is evidence in Oswald's favor .....

Generation Ecstacy
Number of words: 682 | Number of pages: 3.... beyond its subculture confines.
There are those who might find a book to analyze music that often aims for the effect of a sledgehammer to the head a mite pretentious. Yet the radicalism of dance music lies precisely in it's "meaninglessness," which, paradoxically, requires intellectualization in order to get at its significance. This problem is particularly acute for Reynolds, who wants to both valorize everything about techno that makes it resistant to rock-crit "literary" analysis, and also explain exactly why it really did mean something, man. His central tool for resolving this contradiction is the idea of the "drug-tech inte .....

Comparison Of Spartan And Samu
Number of words: 1426 | Number of pages: 6.... went on. The samurai no longer believed that being a good warrior was all that was necessary. The samurai now believed that the complete man was one with a balance of both martial and literate skills. Training now involved leadership skills, meditation and poetry. By doing this, the shoguns ensured an army of elite soldiers that had the capacity to lead others or think for themselves if necessary.

Williams, “an average black child completed grammar school (eight years) having spent about fifty-eight months in the classroom, while a white child had spent sixty-six months in the classroom” (Williams 509). The primary reasoning behind this was that black children were needed to do the labor of white-controlled tenant farmers and sharecroppers. The African American families could not afford to miss the sharecropping sessions so the children were forced to miss school. The economic statu .....

couldn't produce goods quick enough (Drewry and O'connor 559).
A new plan was created called the installment plan. This plan was established
because many Americans didn't have enough money to buy goods and services that
were needed or wanted. The installment plan stated that people could buy
products on credit and make monthly payments. The one major problem with this
idea was that people soon found out that they couldn't afford to make the
monthly payment(Drewry and O'connor 559).
