.... zig-zagged in the ground which made them harder to destroy from enemy artillery. As well, this was an intelligent defensive tactic because if one section of a trench was to be captured, the “zig-zag� prevented enemy soldiers from firing down the length of the trench. Despite it's name, “front-line trenches� were not the most forward defensive position. Narrow passages called “saps� were dug at 90º to the main trench and were on average 30 yards long. These saps led to isolated positions only large enough for two men and were designed to listen for enemy movement. The sounds of shovels and picks underground were listened for .....

.... 13, 1743, in Albemarle county, Virginia. As a member of the Continental Congress in 1776, Jefferson was chosen together with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman to draft the Declaration of Independence.2 The greatest achievement of Jefferson's first term as President was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Corsica on August 15, 1769.3 Napoleon was the fourth child of Charles Bonaparte and of Lititia Née .....

.... very disappointing. Although you admitted to answering questions truthfully, what happened to completely? How many questions did you leave unanswered? How many more lies will Kenneth Starr’s investigation uncover? Where was the term "I lied" in your speech? You admitted nothing. You went before the people and gave a pitiful speech so that it can be spun as a heart-felt admission of guilt in front of the American people. It is to be hoped that most people will be able to see through this obvious facade and see the truth. Not once did you use the term "sexual relationship" when referring to your interactions with Ms. Lewinsky. You .....

.... meaning to kill; and doing hard time, which is being behind bars or in prison. These words have become commonplace. It is also possible that they were commonplace and “the Mob� sort of took them as their own. There are also saying used by gangsters to explain things. If a man steals a large sum of money and is questioned by the police, he will tell them that he won big playing craps in Vegas. The police are obviously natural enemies of the Wiseguys, gangsters. They are always trying to make the big arrest, but the wiseguys use lies such as the one about craps to keep from being pinched, or arrested. Inside the mob there are separa .....

.... the Pacific Coast-Americans considered the west to be an empty wilderness. And in less than fifty years, from the 1803 purchase of Louisiana Territory to the California gold rush of 1849, the nation would expand and conquer the West" (Herb 3). The ocean had always controlled New England's interests and connected it with the real world. Puritanism was still very strong in the north so the moral unity of New England was exceptional. Having a very unmixed population of English origin, New England contrasted very much with the other sections. All this and the fact that they needed to cross populated states in order to expand west .....

.... Aztec, slavery was a reversible condition and if you were once a slave you could become a normal citizen again. Slaves could gain freedom by running away from their masters at the market, and if they made it to the rulers palace they were freed. No one could stop the slave or they themselves became a slave. Also they could buy their freedom, or marry their owner. Slaves were often used in sacrificial ceremonies. The removal of the heart was a practice of the Middle American civilization, the most common of their sacrifices. The Maya was a civilization who were known for architecture, artwork, trade networks, writings .....

.... in other country. It was America that they chose to cooperate for inventing the first atomic bomb. That was called "the Manhattan Project". An enormous mount of money was invested in the project. The project started in 1942 and improved step by step.

How was it a milestone? I will explain the mechanism and the power of the atomic bomb. Ronald Takaki explains the principle of it in his book. "There is an atom that releases two neutron at the same time abso .....

.... wrong. For example, if she did not "give" him any children. The parents arranged marriages-they were recognized legally. There would first be a ceremony, which would be concluded with a "contract inscribed on a tablet." "Children were under the absolute authority of their parents." They could disinherit them or sell them into slavery. But under normal conditions, children were loved and, at the death of the parents, inherited all their possessions. Adopted children were not uncommon and were treated nicely and cared for properly. Thus, this shows that the Babylonian civilization was quite civilized and had a daily way of life .....

.... was often political rather than professional. Roosevelt and Bonaparte both were "Progressives." They shared the conviction that efficiency and expertise, not political connections, should determine who could best serve in government. Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States in 1901; four years later, he appointed Bonaparte to be Attorney General. In 1908, Bonaparte applied that Progressive philosophy to the Department of Justice by creating a corps of Special Agents. It had neither a name nor an officially designated leader other than the Attorney General. Yet, these former detectives and Secret Service men were the f .....
