.... that the whole coffin is engulfed in hiractic writing, soundly designating it as "Egyptian". Some lines of hiratic writing read, "Beginning of the instructions"(Coffin), which is the traditional opening formula for "didactic writings"(Coffin), reflecting its relationship in appearing Egyptian.

.... Mozart and Constanze visited Salzburg, where he helped Michael Haydn out of a difficult spot, by writting some violin duets. He completed a set of string quartets, and in so doing, deeply impressed Josef Haydn who was the greatest master of music for string quartets. In 1786, Mozart's London friends took part in the first performance of The Marriage of Figaro. This was a triumph for Mozart in Prague, and he wrote his "Prague" symphony as a tribute to its generous people. In Paris, Mozart published his first works: four sonatas for clavier: with accompanying violin in 1764. In 1768 he composed his first opera, LA FINTA SEMPLIC .....

.... killed along with one Native American. Within a half an hour the farm where the fight had taken place was overrun with 200 FBI agents and federal police. The gunmen fled into the reservation. Convinced that he would not receive a fair trial in the United States, Peltier hid in Canada. In order to extradite him, the FBI produced an affidavit from Myrtle Pooh Bear, who had supposedly witnessed the killing. She later said that she was not at Pine Ridge the day of shooting, and that she was coerced into writing the false affidavit. Furthermore, according to FBI documents released under The Freedom of Information Act, the FBI had withh .....

.... has to come down sometime. All of the signs of a depression were there; the farmers were producing too much, the uneven distr ibution of income, easy credit/huge debts, imbalance of foreign trade; people just didn’t notice them. Not until October 29, 1929--BLACK TUESDAY--anyway, when the bottom of the stock market fell out, taking millions of American lives with it. Even thoug h any didn’t admit it, they knew what was on the way. People who had been buying stocks on margin (10% down) suddenly found themselves penniless and in bigger debt than they could imagine. America went into a panic, pulling money out of banks in a .....

.... The Unabomber believes that the present industrial-technological society is "narrowing the sphere of human freedom" (Unabomber, 93). The crudeness of the Unabomber's inaugural mail bomb attack was not an indication of what was to come. The Unabomber's devices became more sophisticated and deadly as his targets became more specific and focused. "The pressure vessels in his bombs were the most sophisticated ever seen by federal authorities" (Ewell, 3). His later efforts were sometimes concealed in books and hand-carved boxes, had all hancrafted parts carved of wood and metal (he made his own pins, screws and switches), and sometim .....

.... Another way that he took charge was by cutting federal workers’ salaries, and veterans’ pensions and benefits, and anything else that would reduce spending. Roosevelt then created the Civilian Conservation Corps, which gave jobs to young Americans, and also diverted their anger at the government. Another major act was the Federal Emergency Relief Act, which gave 500 million dollars to replenish city funds. There were many other acts which Roosevelt introduced that helped Americans a great deal. The important thing about theses acts is that America now had a “big” government. They took control, instead of just letting .....

.... bad income distribution, bad banking, bad foreign trade, and over-expansion of credit the stock market crashed and the U.S. was heading to a depression. One of the first Acts to affect the economy was the Emergency Banking Relief Act. This act authorized the Federal Reserve Board to issue more currency. It prohibited a rivate hoarding of gold and exporting of gold. In Roosevelt's second day of term he issued a four-day holiday for the banks. The Treasury Department was directed to reopen the banks if they were relatively sound. It took Congress seven hours to pass the Emergency Banking Relief Act. By closing the banks Roo .....

.... Louis XIV angered the people and they wanted a new system of government. The writings of the philosophes such as Voltaire and Diderot, were critical of the government. They said that not one official in power was corrupt, but that the whole system of government needed some change. Eventually, when the royal finances were expended in the 1780's, there began a time of greater criticism. This sparked the peasants notion of wanting change. Under the Old Regime in France, the king was the absolute monarch. Louis XIV had centralized power in the royal bureaucracy, the government departments which administered his policie .....

.... States' chance to put the first man in space. It was on April 14, 1961 two days after the Soviets put the first man in space, when President John F. Kennedy decided to put faith in the still young NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) program. NASA, established on October 1, 1958, had the historical job of putting an American on the moon. It was on May 25, 1961 when Kennedy finally made public his commitment "to land an American safely on the moon by the end of the decade," (Shepard 28). The pressure was on the NASA, but all eyes were on James E. Webb, NASA Administrato .....
