.... Pompey celebrated his second triumph although he still held public office. He got a spot in office by moving into the highest office of all, the consulship with Crassus as his colleague (70 B.C.). Together they overthrew Sulla's constitution by giving the plebian tribunes their former powers and the knights partial control of the law courts. In 67 B.C., the tribune Aulus Gabinius, by a bill gave extraordinary military powers to Pompey. His objective was to deal with Piracy throughout the Mediterranean. Pompey needed only three months to finish this task. This feat led to further honors. In 60 B.C., on the motion of anot .....

.... himself to be invincible and God-like. He felt that he had a destiny to be one of the greatest military leaders to ever live. The man thought that he could not be killed on the battle field, he was right. He went from a soldier to the Emperor of France in just ten short years; he fell in less than three. Napoleon led an army of six-hundred-thousand men into Russia (Reihn 159). Napoleon was always very concerned about his soldiers and made sure that they were well taken care of (Segur 58 ). Napoleon attacked Russia from the Neims River on June 24, 1812. As soon as they crossed the Neims, a Cossack surprised them and questioned th .....

.... philosophical ideas with inspiration. To get an idea of how Ralph Waldo Emerson might have become such an inspiration to the people, some background on his life is essential. Can you imagine living a life with all your loved ones passing away one by one? A persons life could collapse into severe depression, lose hope, and lose meaning. He can build a morbid outlook on life. Ralph Waldo Emerson suffered these things. He was born on May 25, 1803 and entered into a new world, a new nation just beginning. Just about eight years later, his father would no longer be with him, as William Emerson died in 1811. The Emerson family wa .....

.... farm, except for my dad, who was usually away in foreign countries. This didn't affect me very much since I joined up with him when I was 11 on his operations after my persistent asking. As President, I worked scrupulously to work out problems and provide leadership for the country. This was acknowledged by my fellow officials in office and by the country, as I'm thought of as a person with integrity and honesty. Louisa Catherine Adams, my wife, holds a special place in my heart. She has always been trustworthy and nice. As a child she had to deal with ill health frequently, (which often recurs), and as First Lady she held br .....

.... from the Indiana State Prison, using shotguns and rifles which had been smuggled into their cells. During their escape, they killed two guards. On October 12, three of the escaped prisoners and a parolee from the same prison showed up at the Lima jail where Dillinger was. They told the sheriff that they had come to return Dillinger to the Indiana State Prison for violation of his parole. When the sheriff asked to see their credentials, one of the men pulled a gun, shot the sheriff and beat him into unconsciousness. They took the keys, freed Dillinger, locked the sheriff's wife and a deputy in the cell, and left. Leaving th .....

.... birthday. Hoping that her sons would carry God in their hearts, Augusta left Jack and Warnie bibles signed "from mommy, with fondest Love, August 1908" (“Amiee Barnes,” Clive Staples Lewis. Online.). In September of that same year, Jack was sent to a strict boarding school, Wynyard, in Watford, Hertfordshire, England. After his mother's death, Lewis and his father grew more distant and school did not help (“Michael Leuty,” C.S. Lewis (1898-1963). Online.). In 1910 he attended Campbell College in Belfast, just one mile from Little Lea. He had to leave Campbell College due to serious respiratory difficulties and returned to .....

.... the university refused to let take classes they granted her permission to audit classes. She sat in on classes for two years, and then took the exam that would permit her to be a doctoral student in mathematics. She passed the test, and finally was a student in good standing at the University. After five more years of study, she was granted the second degree to a woman in the field of mathematics. The first graduated a year earlier. Now that had her doctorate in mathematics, she was ready to find a job teaching. The University of Erlangen would not hire her, as they had a policy against women professors. She decided to hel .....

.... South Carolina, in 1915-1916; and at west Texas Normal College in 1916-1917, and I taught summers at the University of Virginia. Despite my studies at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Students League of New York, the University of Virginia, and Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York, I was never able to remain at one institution long enough to receive an academic degree. My career began on April 3, 1917 with the opening of my first solo show, sponsored by Alfred Stieglitz, who I later married in December 1924. My work displayed bold originality, unlike the work of any American artist of that time. My show .....

.... to destruction. The increasing number of workers (thesis) were being exploited by the owners of the means of production (antithesis) who were only allowing the wealth to concentrate amongst few through competition. To increase their own profits, the wages were as low as possible. Economic crises would prevail until the workers would unite and overthrow the centers of the wealth. Then in this intermediary stage (synthesis) capitalism would be destroyed. Once the workers could control their own fate, exploitation would end and the state would become a classless society. Now doesn’t that sound ideal? On that note, what is an acc .....

.... Endicott Peabody (1857-1944), stressed to his wealthy young students their obligation toward those who were less fortunate in society. After graduation from Harvard University in 1904, Roosevelt attended Columbia University Law School without taking a degree and was admitted to the New York State bar in 1907. In 1905, despite his widowed mother's objections, he married a distant cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt, in a gala society wedding at which President Theodore Roosevelt gave the bride away.
