.... office. Nixon’s first stab at political office was when he ran for the Republican seat in the House of Representatives against Jerry Voorhis. Nixon started his dirty campaigning in this election when he made suggestions that Jerry Voorhis might be a Communist. This is where I feel Nixon went to far. In a public election you let the people decide whether or not Jerry Voorhis is a Communist. That is why the people have the right to vote. If you use the name-calling tactic you are completely going against the reason public elections are held. Nixon won his seat in the House of Representatives. While he was in the House he was on .....

His foster father refused to pay his debts, and Poe had to withdraw from the University (Asselineau 410). In May of 182 .....

.... writers of the 16th century found absurd and pointless. On the contrary, Baroque music is far from being absurd or pointless. The word "baroque" is derived from that or from the word "barrochio" that is an Italian word used since the middle ages to indicate shifty or tricky procedures. Wherever it's beginnings, the word "baroque" had been used since the 18th century to indicate paintings, poems, architecture, literature, and all else that is dynamic, dramatic, and to some eyes, astonishing and incredibly even ugly. This really comes to a surprise to me because I've listened to baroque music like Antonio Vivaldi and Johann Seb .....

.... He always knew what he was up against. Lastly one must be daring. You got to have guts; a wussy hero isn't any good. Mosby was very daring. You had to be to take six men into an enemy camp armed with just pistols and a few rifles and steal millions in gold and equipment. Once he snuck into an enemy held town, he creaped right up to the command post and proceeded to tease and then kill their commanding officer. He later pillaged the town for all of it's supplies. That is what I call gutsy. Especially when at anytime the whole union army could march right on in and discover what he was doing. William Mosby po .....

.... he and his family lived among middle class whites. Ellison was endowed with learning and intellectual curiosity. Ellison was introduced to a new world, one that he would make his own. His history, folktales, and music were already important to him. He often wrote about his Afro-American heritage: “There is no point in complaining over the past or apologizing for one’s fate. But for blacks, there are no hiding places down here, neither in country or city. They are an American people who are geared to what is and who yet are driven by a sense of what is possible for human life to be in this society. The nation could n .....

.... His rooms became wide open to one another and the overall configuration of his plans became more and more alike, reaching out toward some real or imagined expansive horizon. In contrast to the openness of those houses and as if in conflict with their immediate city environment, Wright’s urban buildings tend to be walled in with light entering primarily from above, through skylights. These features contrasted with those of his mentor’s, Sullivan, work. Wright’s distaste for urban environments and his embrace of the natural environment are observed in the contrasting features of some of his finest buildings i .....
