.... debris” (1542). The doctors removed the President’s clothing to check the body for other wounds. While Dr. Perry began the tracheostomy, Dr. Jenkins recalled, that Mrs. Kennedy was circling the room with something “ cupped” in her hands. As Mrs. Kennedy passed by, she nudged Jenkins with her elbow and handed him “a large chunk o! f her husband's brain.” Dr. Jenkins took the brain matter and handed it to a nurse (Breo 2806). The Parkland Hospital staff worked for twenty-five minutes on the President to no avail. Dr. Clark, who arrived in the trauma room at 12:50 p.m., pronounced the President dead at 1:00 p.m. .....

.... seem fare. After so many years without controversy it’s just been recently that we have started to question the lagitamitity of his discovery. What brought on this sudden change? Perhaps is was the coming of the five hundred year celebration of our country that brought this on, or maybe now some of the Native Americans are finally starting to speak out, but no matter what the reason may be it shouldn’t be taking place. Columbus should still be given the credit for discovering America. It was the first time that anyone was recognized for landing on a new continent and he still deserves respect. Irvine and Goulden feel b .....

.... set of notes over and over again. The overall feeling is as if the music is wooing the listener. Ellington's other innovations include the use of the human voice as an instrument, such as in "Creole Love Call" (1927). He also placed instruments in unusual combinations, illustrated in the piece "Mood Indigo" (1930). When the orchestra performs this piece, three soloists stand out in front of the stage, playing three different instruments. Improvisation was a big part of Ellington’s music. One of Ellington orchestra’s signature tunes is "Take the ‘A’ Train" (1941). This piece was not written .....

.... expectation. The details regarding the unsanitary and disgusting conditions in meat packing factories appear to be background details of a much larger picture. Sinclair's main fight in his "Conditions at the Slaughterhouse" was to bring about the ideology of Socialism and how government needed to step in and take control. The grotesque ways in which the meat was being processed in these plants also relates to the ways in which workers were being treated as well. People working in these plants were about as valuable to the owners as the individual pigs themselves. Although they were not necessarily slaves, they were of .....

He had three sons and two daughters. was a democratic and had served in the Senate from 1857- 1862. In the early months of the Civil War, Johnson was forced to flee his own state to avoid arrest. When federal troops conquered Nashville, he resigned his Senate seat in March 1862 to accept President Lincoln’s appointment as military governor of Tennessee. He served as vice president for a month in 1865, and as president for the balance of Lincoln’s terms. In January 1875, Johnson won back .....

.... abuse to further his beliefs. Martin Luther King, Jr. had plenty of authority, power and efficiency to get his ideas across to millions, as is evident in The March on Washington. A good leader is able to induce respect, loyalty, and cooperation from others, and King was able to do all of those things. King’s followers listened obediently to his wishes and whereas some might have turned to violence in their frustration, King guided them and warned them against this. King inspired and motivated others to believe that a change in the American system would occur and many looked up to him. King’s decision making, communicatio .....

.... don’t know.. block the grimness. The whole world seen sort of closed to me..(I felt) on the outside of everything, and all I could do was to dream up any kind of pretend game." (MarilynMonroe,http://www.ionet.net/~jellenc/mmbio3.html) In 1941, Norma Jeane again lived with a family friend when she met Jim Dougherty, who was 5 years older than her. They then married on June 19, 1942. "Grace Mckee (family friend she was living with) arranged the marriage for me, I never had much of a choice. There’s not much to say about it. They couldn’t support me, and they had to work out something. And so I got married." () .....

.... disciples who became the brothers of the First Order of Franciscans, with Francis as their superior. Francis later accepted a young woman, Clare, into The Franciscan Order. She went on to establish the Order of the Poor Ladies, which later became known as the Second Order of Franciscans. Francis attempted to travel to the Holy Land in 1212, but did not make it. His missionary work in the late 1210's was anything but successful. He was able to reach the Holy Land in 1220. He wanted to become a martyr and was proud to hear that five Franciscan friars were murdered while carrying out their duties. He returned to Assisi to .....

.... of abolitionists intruded on this governmental land with hopes of steeling the arms. The weapons were then going to be used in the attempted freeing of slaves. It is true that Brown’s actions lasted only a short number of hours, involved only a few other kinsmen, and freed no slaves. However, are his actions wholly unjust and are they actions of a man with little or no sanity. The Northern Chronicle offers you another point of view. Think of the horrid deeds being performed in the slave states of the south. Men, women, and children being beaten and worked to death. Families being split apart, and freedom not existing f .....

.... Johann Sebastian won a scholarship to study in Luneberg, Northern Germany, and so left his brother’s care. A master of several instruments while still in his teens, Johann Sebastian first found employment at the age of eighteen as a “lackey and violinist” in a court orchestra in Weimar. Soon after, he took the job as organist at a church in Arnstadt. Here, as in later posts, his perfectionist tendencies and high expectations of other musicians, for example, the church choir, rubbed his colleagues the wrong way, and he became involved in some hot disputes during his short stay. In 1707, at the age of twenty-two, Bach .....
