.... be lying in his own blood. Robert F. Kennedy had been shot in the head by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan. Kennedy was transported to the hospital for a three hour operation, but died early the next morning. There were several conspiracy theories on why Sirhan shot Kennedy. Many people thought that Sirhan had been hired by the mob to kill Kennedy(This relates to the theory in J.F.K.’s assassination that the mob had hired Lee Harvey Oswald). At the time of Sirhan’s arrest, he had $400 on him which made it seem as if he might have been hired. It was later learned that the money was from a $1,100 settlement that he had won a few months earlier. Several people thought that ....

.... James was one of five children of affulent, eccentric parents. While his birth in 1843 was in New York City, his parents were purposly rootless, and by the age of eighteen he had already crossed the Atlantic six times. He avoided participation in the Civil War because of a poor back and began a role which he would maintain throughout his life and writings, one of a detached observer rather than participant in the American social scene. (Matthiessen 14) The first phase of James' writing begins when he is twenty-one, in 1864 and continues until 1881. He was extremely popular during this time, especially during after publication of a short story Daisy Miller, which is concerne ....

.... with had to move. So Professor Gunning (the father in the family) got him enrolled at the Athenaeum in Amsterdam, which meant Wilhelm had to part with the Gunnings. That forced Wilhelm to bunk with another student going to his college, because back then they didn’t have dormitories for students. On March 17, 1865 a fraternity called “Placet hic requiescere Musis” (May the Muses rest here) selected him as a member of their fraternity. Then on May 9 he joined a scientific society called “Natura Dux nobis et auspex” (Nature is our leader and protector). Wilhelm didn’t like keeping house so, he found a room with the family of a cabinetm ....

.... stepped out of it until he died. He was a good man, as men go in the bewildering world of ours, brave, transparent, tender-hearted, and honorable. Dickens was always a little too irritable because he was a little too happy. Like the over-wrought child in society, he was splendidly sociable, and in and yet sometimes quarrelsome. In all the practical relations of his life he was what the child is at a party, genuinely delighted, delightful, affectionate and happy, and in some strange way fundamentally sad and dangerously close to tears. 2 At the age of 12 Charles worked in a London factory pasting labels on bottles of shoe polish. He held the job only for a few months, but the ....

.... Brothers' Immaculate Conception primary school which likely gave him ample time to expand his imagination. Perhaps the only knowledge he acquired while being taught there was the French language. This was the sole language spoken at the school, and he was forced to adapt to the communication. The first flame of creativity was sparked by Siegfrid Burmann, who gave Dalí his first set of oils and pallete. He undoubtedly employed these materials in one of his first sophisticated paintings, View of Cadaqués with Shadow of Mount Pani of 1917. His family noticed his artistic talent early on, and supplemented his education by allowing him to spend summer holidays with the cre ....

.... relentless examination of every aspect of her mind and faith her poems are both expository and puzzling. Her conclusions are often cryptically implicit and largely dependant on the readers ability to put together the pieces - to see the connections and implications. Amy Lowell said "She was the mistress of suggestion....and to a lesser degree, irony" The ruses and riddles in her poems came from her; and as such she too was a riddle. The riddle was important to Emily Dickinson for several reasons. She wished to reason with her own feelings despite her contradictory beliefs - she wished to be one who "distils amazing sense / from ordinary meanings (#448)". For her, lif ....

.... British Columbia, Vancouver, Smith worked for the Fisheries Research Board of Canada from 1961 to 1966. He then returned to the University of British Columbia, where he became a professor of biochemistry in 1970 and where he still works in the biotechnology lab. Proteins perform a variety of crucial chemical functions in plants and animals. The best way to study the function of a specific protein is to mutate it, then observe how this changes the behavior of the entire organism. Prior to Smith's innovation, mutation was achieved by exposing random cells to mutagens (radiation or chemicals). This approach was unreliable because both radiation and chemicals mutated proteins r ....

.... allies around the world looked on in horror as the Senate shot down the painstakingly negotiated centerpiece of four decades of international efforts to put an end to the live testing of nuclear weapons. Besides their immediate concern over Washington’s seeming abdication of its leadership role on nuclear nonproliferation, the international community was plainly shocked at the apparent unraveling of executive power in the U.S. After all, whom could you deal with in Washington if the legislature could so cavalierly slap down the President? "The Senate vote makes us look bad with both allies and adversaries, weakening our position for dealing with all of t ....
