.... who had been hard hit by the evils of the depression. These radio addresses were the start to what he called the "fireside chats". Overall, Roosevelt was the most energetic and dynamic candidate, and he was nominated by the party on the fourth ballot. Although he displayed excellent characteristics, his competition was fairly tough. He was up against John Nance Garner of Texas (who would be his Vice Presidential running mate); Newton D.

For three ballots, Roosevelt held a large lead, but lacked the two- thirds margin necessary for vict .....

.... love was the love of being queen. Being queen seems to be one of her childhood dreams, which is understandable, because many girls dream of being a princess or a queen when they get older. Anne's final and strongest love was the love for her daughter. Elizabeth was the most important thing in Anne's life, and she would have done anything that she could for her daughter. For instance, she fought with Henry many times for the sake of Elizabeth, and the most important is that she chose death so that her daughter would have a better life. Anne was a very respectable character for the most part. She was unselfish in the end by c .....

.... and Biblical scholar. In 1512 Luther earned his doctorate in theology and became a professor of Biblical literature at Wittenberg University. Luther took his religious vocation very serious. This led him into a severe crisis in dealing with his religion. He wondered, "is it possible to reconcile the demands of God's law with human inability to live up to the law."

.... movie industry, starting as a teenager and making movies up until his death in 1980, while working on the 54th of his career (Sterrit 3). Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was born on August 13, 1889 in London, England. As a child his parents were very strict with him and they imposed severe and unusual punishments upon him, as what they considered to be discipline. One of these incidents scarred him for life. As punishment for arriving home late one night, young Alfred's father had a policeman friend lock the boy up in a cell for five minutes, "in order to teach him where naughty little boys who come home after 9 o'clock would eventu .....

.... She knew her mind and spoke it, sometimes perhaps with devastating frankness: but her remarks were informed with such regard for scientific truth and with such conspicuous sincerity that they commanded the greatest respect in all circumstances. She was finally recognized for her genius, and not her social graces. Also underestimated by her colleagues was the effect in her life and career of a devoted and brilliant teacher, her mother. Irene was born on September 12, 1897, the elder of two daughters born to Marie and Pierre Curie.

.... man ever elected to the presidency, he was sixty-one and perhaps the most unhealthy. He had two bullets permanently lodged in him, and often spat up blood because of them. Many missions of Andrew Jackson's were self-righteous and stubborn. By his victory at the Battle of New Orleans, where he killed many Native Americans, he gained enough momentum for the American people to adore him. With this momentum as "Old Hickory," "Old Chieftain," and "Old Hero," people felt forever indebted to his military value, therefore staying aboard his zany political wagon. "The Bank, Mr. Van Buren, is trying to kill me, but I will kill it." .....

This is the age of scientific disciplines and unbridled mysticism--studies of the brain and drawing room table- .....
