.... spite of harassment the boycott continued, and in 1956 segregated seating was challenged in a federal law suit. Parks' personal history has been lost in the retelling of the event. Prior to her arrest, Mrs. Parks had a firm and quiet strength to change things that were unjust. She served as secretary of the NAACP and later Advisor to the NAACP Youth Council, and tried to register to vote on several occasions when it was still nearly impossible to do so. She had run-ins with bus drivers and was evicted from buses. Forty years later, despite tremendous gains, Parks feels that we still have a long way to go in improving race rela .....

.... Howard had a fine education because he attended highly educational schools. His father’s great fortune left Howard very wealthy. After his father’s death he was left an estate worth $871,000, and a patent for a drill. The drill was for oil drilling which made much money. In 1925 Howard got married to Ella Rice, he was twenty . He got divorced in 1928 and that same year he got his first pilots license. Howard had two careers that made him very successful in life. He started a company called Hughes Aircraft Company. The reason he started this was his love of aviation. In 1927 he started his career in acting. .....

.... to call a person original means to say that he is smart, that he comes with resourceful ideas. Since Stravinsky was Russian, that is what he probably meant. Therefore in his first sentence, Stravinsky says that, more or less, almost all conductors are stupid. The whole passage is more of an insult to all conductors, rather than an informative text. Secondly, Stravinsky uses comparisons to politicians in order condemn the conductors. "Conducting, like politics, rarely attracts original minds … His [the conductor's] first skill has to be power politics," he says in the first paragraph. Politicians are always thought to be corrupt, .....

.... In the year of his marriage, Big Howard sold leases on land that proved to have $50,000 in oil beneath it. He promptly took his new wife to Europe for a honeymoon, and returned exactly $50,000 poorer. In 1908, Big Howard turned his ingenuity and his hobby to tinker into good fortune. Current drilling technology was unable to penetrate the thick rock of southwest Texas and oilmen could only extract the surface layers of oil, unable to tap the vast resources that lay far below. Big Howard came up with the idea for a rolling bit, with 166 cutting edges and invented a method to keep the bit lubricated as it tore away at the rock. Lat .....

.... program had great success in restoring the credit of the United States. His vision of a centralized economy provided the basic model for a system that has survived to the present day. Yet, in the implementation of his political ideas, Hamilton encountered many attacks against his character and beliefs. I believe that Hamilton was a failure as a politician because he had many political ideas that were irrational and caused controversy amongst groups of people. He was against democracy and he characterized the public as selfish, unreasonable, untrustworthy, and prone to corruption. Hamilton wanted a strong centralized governmen .....

.... John Allan. John Allan was a wealthy merchant based in Richmond, Virginia with the means, knowledge and affluence to provide a good life for Poe (“Poe, Edgar Allan,” Encyclopedia Britannica 540). In 1815, Poe and his new family moved to England to provide Poe a classical education (which was finished out in Richmond. Upon returning from England in 1826, Poe enrolled at the University of Virginia (“Poe, Edgar Allan,” Encyclopedia Britannica 540). This was a magnificent feat for him, because Poe was only seventeen at the time while the normal age for attendance was nineteen (Quinn 130). For the first time, life had hit a h .....

.... of course, that the Devil is the epitome of evil, Hitler could easily be called Satan in human form. The immense torture that Hitler inflicted cannot even begin to be expressed in words. This evil and hatred was the seed of all slaughter, rape, and injustice in the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler, a man responsible for creating enough tears to form new oceans, and for causing enough bloodshed to turn those oceans dark red, was pure evil in the flesh. A man so wretched I question if even my"all-merciful" God could forgive him. Hitler was not"sort of nice" and did not have any days when he was not evil. He was unethical and immora .....

.... was just illusion. He felt as if he were being squeezed down into a black hole and there at the bottom was light. This metaphor serves as image of physical death and spiritual rebirth. His death gave birth to new consciousness. He suddenly perceived that man's essential life belongs to the spirit and well-being is achieved through loving of people. He asked forgiveness of his family for his sins and welcomed death... This moral transformation makes real end of his unreal life. As a moralist Tolstoy would like to play attention of Russian intelligentsia how badly they live, how they waste their talents, strengths, and capab .....

.... on August 23, 1927. With the encouragement of supporters, Vanzeffi issued letters and articles from his prison cell and displayed a highly sensitive intelligence despite the fact that he was largely self-educated. The Sacco-Vanzetti case inspired controversy reaching worldwide proportions. Belief in their innocence became widespread as they were seen to be victims of antianarchist hatred. Neither has been officially cleared of the charges against them in the State of Massachusetts although considerable pressure has periodically mounted to bring this about. (Irving Horowitz, The Anarchists, 1964, Dell Publishing) From t .....

.... published a paper on dyes. A year later, he graduated as a doctor of medicine. Ehrlich's major contributions to science began as soon as he became a doctor. Now a doctor became assistant and eventually the senior house physician at the Charite Hospital in Berlin. While working at the hospital, Ehrlich grew to be known as an expert stainer. He showed that all dyes could be categorized as being basic, acid, or neutral. Through staining experiments, he discovered the tubercule bacilli. With this discovery, Ehrlich collaborated with Robert Koch and undertook the first treatment of patients with tuberculosis in the Moabit Hos .....
