.... Marius’ enemy Sulla, leader of the optimates, in 82 BC on the latter’s return from the East. On each occasion the massacre of political opponents was followed by the confiscation of their property. The proscriptions of Sulla, which preceded the reactionary political legislation enacted during his dictatorship left a particularly bitter memory that long survived. Caesar left Rome for the province of Asia on the condition that he divorce his wife because Sulla would only allow him to leave on that condition. When he heard the news that Sulla had been killed he returned to Rome. He studied rhetoric under the distinguished teache .....

.... entirely unexpected that Cobain committed suicide. He had had entered a coma by overdosing on a mixture of champagne and tranquilizers on March 4.

.... I had a bad feeling about the journey mainly because I knew there would be fighting and I had only one eye and a lot of scars but I was afraid because many soldiers come back with lost limbs or sometimes even worse. I love my Lucie and I didn’t want to lose anything. WE followed a long, windy trail and had troubles finding good places to stay the nights. Rest and good food was important for our journey because many of the men were sore from riding most of the day. We stayed in barns and sometimes house people would lend us but they were always cold and damp because of all the moisture that was up there. It rained quite freq .....

.... century was not considered a reputable career. Nurses did not have any training and hospitals were unsanitary places where the poor went to die. Her parents finally gave in and Nightingale was allowed to go to Kaiserswerth, a nursing school in Germany.

Motherhood was the ultimate goal for every woman. Women were supposed to be concerned with feminine characteristics, roles and functions of family life. T .....

.... between all income groups (Duffy 1996). Under Dole's tax cut plan, a family of four with an annual income of 31,000 would see their tax bill drop from $2,000 to $800, a difference of $1,200. "The way the tax cut was packaged shows that they were still sensitive to the old anti-Reagan argument that tax cuts just benefit the rich and they tried to show that their plan would benefit everybody," remarked Rick Grafmeyer, a tax partner at Earnest & Young, a national accounting firm (Barnes, 1996, 29). While Dole flaunts the benefits of his tax-cut proposal, he fails to mention what will suffer in order to activate his tax cuts. .....

.... the fire; He who played stood there, 2 Bowing it higher and higher. Childlike, I danced in a dream; Blessings emblazoned that day; Everything glowed with a gleam; Yet we were looking away! As a young child, Hardy mastered the violin learning over 100 tunes. He also sang in the Stansford Church every Sunday. It seems to be that Hardy and his parents had a good relationship. In 1867 Hardy met Tryphena Sparks who was 16 and a daughter to a family related to his. She was intelligent and made her living as .....

.... in 1792, Mozart had already passed away. Beethoven soon earned a good living being a musician. He completed his first symphony in 1800, and many other piano, cello, and violin sonatas. Beethoven was Vienna’s first successful “freelance” musician. Instead of depending on the support of the aristocracy, he had wealthy friends, patrons and admirers of his music He was known to be awkward in his manners, have an unpredictable temper, and refused to defer to those with a higher social rank.

.... double bondage as an African American and a woman in a society dominated by whites and men. Female slaves, for example, often did both men's and women's work. One master boasted of Isabella that she was "better to me than a man -- for she will do a good family's washing in the night, and be ready in the morning to go into the field, where she will do as much at raking and binding as my best hands." Once she gained her freedom, Truth labored as a domestic servant but remained poor, as related in her Narrative: "she toiled hard, working early and late, doing a great deal for a little money, and turning her hand to almost any th .....

.... suitable profession for well-educated women. While the family conflicts over Florence’s future remained unsolved it was decided that Florence would tour Europe. In her travels, Florence undertook months of nursing training, unbeknownst to her family. Florence returned home, still with the dream to become a working nurse, and again voiced this idea to her parents. Her parrients finally agreed and Florence was allowed to become a nurse. Florence, now thirty-one went to work at Kaserworth Hospital in Germany, and was later promoted and moved to a hospital in London. In 1854 Britain, France and Turkey declared war on R .....
