.... difficult to assimilate today. I chose to see him, to remember him, this way: It is the early '80s and Payton is in a place as comfortable to him as the womb. He is floating six inches above the frozen turf at Soldier Field, hovering really, splay-legged and open to suggestion. Payton's eyes are wide, deer-caught-in-the-headlights wide. But this wild creature, crackling with that quirky, impulsive energy, is very much in control of the moment. The safety, whose job it is to decide which way Payton will go when he finally comes down, is the one who looks stunned and, perhaps, a little frightened. In truth, it is the defender who determines where Payton is go ....

And the stores that carry his products are located across the United States and around the world.   MENSWEAR : POLO BY In 1967, the New York born bred Ralph Lauren started the Polo division of Beau Brummel neckties. Ties at that time were in an Ivy League phase-dark, narrow and undistinguished. But, for several years, Mr. Lauren had harbored the nation that the time was right for a new look. And so, he pioneered the wide tie-a four-inch tie made from opulent materials and fabrications that were unheard of in the busin ....

.... of 1661, he attended Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. In 1665 Newton returned to Woolsthorpe and continued his study of light. Newton was intrigued by light and was curious about its composition. When trying to explain how colors occur, he came to the theory that light is a heterogeneous mixture of different colored light rays. He theorized that each ray was a different color, and that reflections and refractions cause colors to appear through the separation of the "white" light. To demonstrate and prove his theory, Newton used a prism. A prism is a type of lens with sharp angled edges that are able to separate light. Prisms can be very simple boxes or ....

.... town council. Whenever Agnes’ father would return from a trip, he would always bring his children presents. Also, he promoted his daughters’ education, which was uncommon in that time period. Nikola also was involved in an underground organization that worked to gain independence for the Albanians from the Ottoman Turks, who ruled Macedonia around the time Agnes was born. Agnes grew up around much fighting. When she was born, there were Albanian protests against the Turkish government. When she was two, she witnessed the First Balkan War. In that war, the Ottomans were defeated, but Macedonia was divided among the conquerors: Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegero, and Serbi ....

.... can still recall going into the large darkened parlor to see my brother and finding the casket and my father by his side, pale and immovable. As he took notice of me, I climbed upon his knee. He sighed and said, " Oh my daughter, I wish you were a boy!" I threw my arms around his neck and replied that I will try my hardest to be all my brother was. I was determined to be courageous, to ride horses and play chess, and study such manly subjects as Latin, Greek, mathematics, and philosophy. I devoured the books in my father's extensive law library and debated the fine points of the law with his clerks. It was while reading my father's law books that I first discovered the ....

.... and Bailey Johnson. After three years her parents divorced, and both Maya and her older brother Bailey, were sent to Stamps, Arkansas. Once in Stamps, the children were cared for by their paternal grandmother, Mrs. Annie Henderson (Neubauer 21). In her first book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Angelou tells the story of her childhood. She also makes the reader keenly aware of her close connection with her grandmother. Stephen Butterfield says of Caged Bird (in his Black Autobiography in America, 1974): "Continuity is achieved by the contact of mother and child, the sense of life begetting life that happens automatically in spite of all confusion- perhaps also becau ....

.... (W 13). The extent to which Billie did not get along with her family is evident as she was chastised for her grandmother's death at the age of six (E). The turmoil within Billie's family was manifested when Billie commented later on in life that "As far as I'm Concerned, all the Fagans are dead" (W 14). This made her family very mad and lead to their further abandonment of Billie. Aside from the superficial tension between Billie and her mother, they did their best to remain loyal to one another and provide for each other (W 201). As Billie grew older, life grew harder and reality slowly became more and more real for her. At age 10, Billie was raped, further ....
