.... big screen success came to him in 1969 when his simple and tasteful film "Stereo" got shot down at the box office. David was somewhat discouraged by this and in 1970 would shock the world with his first film of the horror or shock film industry that broke all the limits. "Crimes of the Future" was a large success at the box office and at he 1970 Cannes Film Festival. Little did the public know, David Cronenberg was not finished there. The ideas he had stored in his uncanny mind of his were peculiar, odd and extraordinary. With his continuing success artistically, the public began to find his work vulgar and disturbing. In 1983, David Cr ....

.... a shish kebab with cubes of meat-often pork or lamb-and vegetables, and stuffed eggplant or tomatoes. Pasta is also popular. Fruit is often served for dessert. Although Greek food is not "low fat" the primary oil used is olive oil, which has been proven to be better for you that rendered animal fat. Cheese is another mainstay of the Greek diet. The average Grecian eats 50 lbs. of cheese a year. This ranks second in world cheese consumption behind France. The most popular Greek cheese is Feta, which is a smooth cottage type of cheese. Greeks drink a lot of wine. If you are a first-time visitor, you probably better order your wine aretsinoto (without resin), or your m ....

.... should never supply aid of any kind to the poor, unemployed, and the hungry. His administration upheld the belief that welfare would destroy the character of the American people. Near the end of Hoover’s disappointing term in office, he signed a law creating the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. This organization could loan up to 2 billion dollars to banks, insurance companies, and railroads. Hoover’s last ditch attempt to help the economy was too little, too late. Our economy was in shambles and now we need someone to pick up those pieces. As your newly elected president, my administration will work to relieve the suffering caused by the depression, creating j ....

.... North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) involvement was imminent. The purpose of NATO’s involvement was to resolve the conflict as peacefully as possible. Their involvement, however, seems to be more of a cancer that a cure. Both side of the conflict turn their weapons of destruction not only on each other, but also onto NATO soldiers. Somewhat ironic, to prevent death we must send our brave men in to die. The conflict has been hard on the world, but more so on Kosovo itself. It is predicted that if the war doesn’t stop the two-sides will be fighting over nothing other than pride. The world’s involvement into the conflict seems to have fueled the anger of ....

.... and the fugitive slave laws had long brought agitation. There was some fear that, in the event of strong antislavery legislation, the Southern states might withdraw from the Union altogether. The possibility of the disintegration of the Union was deprecated by many but was alarming to some, among them Henry Clay, who emerged from retirement to enter the Senate again. President Taylor was among those who felt that the Union was not threatened; he favored admission of California as a free state and encouragement of New Mexico to enter as a free state. These sentiments were voiced in Congress by William H. Seward. John C. Calhoun and other Southerners, particularly Jefferson D ....

.... repeat itself. Only this time, it would be a scandal that would shake the very foundation of a nation. When President Reagan was elected in 1980, he came into office promising to restore America’s military and moral prestige in the world. Voters responded when he pledged to be tough on terrorists, a vow he repeated time and time again: “Let me further make it plain to assassins in Beirut and their accomplices, wherever they may be, that America will never make concessions to terrorists.“ Was this vow strictly a campaign promise made that he never intended to honor? In 1970 in Nicaragua, President Anastasio Somona Debayle fled the country. A civil war had been dev ....

.... China and enter a new era. His most recent accomplishments, those being of economic reform and opening China more and more to the West, an important step in this day and age, may have been his greatest. His life has been a paradoxical one of ease and struggle, but as they say, that goes with the territory. The purpose of this essay is twofold. It is a means to reflect upon the accomplishments and failures of a man who has influenced today’s China; and to present it all in an interesting, yet refreshingly honest way. I will look at three aspects of ’s life: First, the story of his youth and family, from when he was born until his return from France and Moscow, 1927 ....

.... the popularly elected civilian government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. What followed were a series of ineffective embargoes and failed negotiations led by the US, the OAS and the UN culminating in a US led invasion of Haiti. The US government has played a large, and at times indefensible, role in the events that took place and they were backed by groups such as the CIA, the Pentagon and US backed international aid organizations like USAID. Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton both focussed constantly upon short range goals such as winning the election in 1993 and they were willing to sacrifice long term interests in the pursuit of these goals. The US woul ....
