.... When she graduated in 1927, Margaret turned down a position at the Museum of Natural History and went to Cleveland to open her own photography studio. Margaret had courage and talent from the beginning. At first she did advertising work for schools and other businesses but never stopped working on her artistic skills. For example, as she was walking by she noticed a preacher speaking in a square with only a group of pigeons to hear. Margaret wanted to take his picture but she didn't have her camera with her. She ran into a camera store and asked to rent or borrow a camera. The picture became one of her first works of art and the owner of the store became one .....

.... war profiteer of slave labor, a crook, an alcoholic, and a womanizer are all terms that have been used to describe Oskar Schindler. Why then, on his fifty third birthday did the municipality of Tel Aviv dedicate a plaque in the Park of Heroes describing him as savior of over 1200 Jews? Why was he declared a Righteous person in Jerusalem and invited to plant a carob tree in the Avenue of the Righteous? The answer is simple: To more than 1200 Jewish people held as prisoners in camps during World War II, Oskar Schindler and his factories are all that stood between them and death at the hands of the Nazis. Schindler's motives, even to this day, are not completely .....

.... older brother Constantine had given up his claims to the throne. Nicholas’ first action was to put down, with great harshness, a revolt of officers and soldiers who had fought in Europe during the Napoleonic wars and favored reform in Russia. This uprising occurred in the month of December and the rebels became known in Russian history as “Decembrists.” The new czar ordered the principal leaders killed and the rest exiled to Siberia. He felt there was something wrong with the government of the country, and he thought that Russia needed more discipline rather than liberal reform. Nicholas ordered the codification of Russian laws, reformed .....

.... of his second wife Nadezhda Allililuyeva in 1932, who left a letter incriminating him personally and politically. After that he became very paranoid, suspecting others—even those with whom he had been friends with for years. A complex man, he centered his life completely in his office. Although, he did allow public worship of himself on a scale rarely matched in any country in the 20th Century. In his personal life, he withdrew almost completely, living either in his Kremlin apartment or in his new country house at Kuntsovo, constantly surrounded by officers and bodyguards until his death. Frantic to catch up with the West in 1928, Stalin and his men launched .....

.... turned around. She had her first boy friend and she earned valedictorian of her class. Beauty comes from the inside; Alice found you are only as beautiful as you think, and the pain only hurts as long as you let it. There are as many ideas of beauty as there are number of people. As Alice was laying her baby girl to sleep she stared into Alice's eyes and said ”Mommy there is a world in your eye!” Never before did she look at it in this way. The question always was “did I change after the accident?”. Every choice that you make every experience that you go thought is what makes you one of a kind. Alice had it hard enough she thought, .....

.... of compassion to the victim, after all it is we the Law Enforcement officers who stand up for the victim. To Director Hoover, capital punishment is a deterrent that should be used when needed. It is a necessary evil, that when the impossibility of rehabilitating certain criminals whose acts will, and if not caught , would impact numerous innocent persons lives and their families. How do you rehabilitate the sociopath who has no sense of guilt and kills simply for the pleasure of killing? Granted it is said that advocates of capital punishment should actually witness an execution to see how it is carried out and the trauma a person faces when they know that t .....

.... in London. Ferrars’ niece was named Virginia, the first known use of this name.

.... for themselves. Although the idiom is local, the message is universal. Brooks uses ordinary speech, only words that will strengthen, and richness of sound to create effective poetry. The poem The Bean Eaters (see the included poems) is a fine example of all three of these key elements. First and foremost is the use of ordinary speech. For instance the lines They eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair / Dinner is a casual affair. Each of these words are easily understandable. Though plain speech, each word is used more differently and more intensely than in ordinary discourse. Old yellow pair resounds with more meaning than old couple. “Yellow” implies faded or .....
