.... thirty-seven countries. In 1952 he was elected to the United States Senate and in 1953 he married Jaqueline Bouvier.

The next year narrowly missing the Vice Presidential nomination of his party, Kennedy emerged as a national figure in large demand. "John Kennedy was not one of the Senate's great leaders" (Sorensen 43). Very few laws of great importance bear his name.

.... studies were as successful as ever. I was prevented from returning the following fall due to a severe case of typhoid fever. By 1907, I was ready to attend school again, this time at New York City’s Art Students League. I continued to enjoy my success almost without interruption. I began a series of one-year teaching positions which I held in Amarillo, Texas in 1912-1913, as a drawing supervisor in its elementary schools; at Columbia College, South Carolina, in 1915-1916; and at west Texas Normal College in 1916-1917, and I taught summers at the University of Virginia.

.... Camus also concluded that suicide is the only serious philosophical problem. He asks whether it makes any sense to go on living once the meaninglessness of human life is fully understood. Camus referred to this meaninglessness as the “absurdity” of life. He believed that this “absurdity” is the “failure of the world to satisfy the human demand that it provide a basis for human values-for our personal ideals and for our judgments of right and wrong.” He maintained that suicide cannot be regarded as an adequate response to the “experience of absurdity.” He says that suicide is an admission of incapacity, and such an admission is inconsistent with that huma ....

Their history was very important to the Sinatra family, and good moral values, as well ....

.... peacefulness rather than violence to achieve his goals. Satyragraha to many Indian nationalists was regarded as the weak weapon for the weak man, yet Gandhi knew that nonviolence was the strong mans weapon, choosing it rather than to fight and kill. Through using satyagraha, or "the force of truth," Gandhi was able to achieve many of his objectives. Independence from British rule was Gandhi’s main intent. Gandhi did not like many aspects of British rule and sought to fight these injustices. The Indian citizens for example, had payments which the less fortunate had to give to the landlords.
