.... writer in the Pentagon Papers. The Times published these papers bit by bit until the Nixon administration sought an injunction on the Times to stop publication. The Supreme Court found that the First Amendment did not permit an injunction against the Times. The issue here is weather or not the First Amendment applies to federal papers, and weather prior restraint is unconstitutional. Also, can the government seek an injunction on a press to halt publication of such documents, even in cases of national security. The Supreme Court Ruled 6-3 in favor of the New York Times, saying that the First Amendment did not permit an injunction aga .....

.... from Africa, a story of greater historical significance. The characters are not extensively developed; instead, they are simply presented, even understated at a point. Spielberg’s intent is to draw vivid characterizations and to create objects and characters as symbols with larger meanings. Power and authority is the first symbol presented in the story. Who had it in the beginning and who ended up with it in the end. The superior attitude of the ‘La Amistad’s’ crew and the harsh and cruel treatment of the passengers, implies how primitive and unrefined society was. In addition to power and authority, characters .....

.... faithful slaves might be freed in reward for loyal service. With few acceptions, slaves in ancient Greece were humanely treated. More typically, slaves were employed in domestic serves, in trades, as laborers on country estates, and as seamen and oarsmen. Where they were employed in private domestic service, it was not uncommon to find them on friendly terms with their masters. Roman was differed in several important aspects from that of ancient Greece. Roman masters had more power over their slaves, including, by law, the power of life and death. was also far more necessary to the economy and social system of Rome, especially du .....

.... planned a French empire in the New World, with its center at New Orleans. President Jefferson was alert to the dangers of a powerful nation controlling the mouth of the Mississippi. He instructed the American minister to France, Robert R. Livingston, to open negotiations to buy New Orleans and some territory east of the city. A treaty would have to satisfy the financial claims that some United States citizens had against the French government. Finally the French continued to claim that the province still belonged to Spain. Jefferson sent James Monroe to help with the negotiations, and authorized him to spend no more than $10,000,000. Napol .....

.... realized that the path to success and enlightenment was neither of the extremes of vast material possessions or the lack thereof , but a balance between the two. He called this the Middle Way. By the time he was thirty-five, Siddartha had achieved true enlightenment and earned the title Buddha(awakened one). He was the fourth man recorded to have done so, but is credited with the creation of the Buddhist religion. Today Buddhism is one of the most commonly practiced Eastern religions. It is also one of the most misunderstood. Its characteristics are simple and strive only for spiritual enlightenment. The critical element of Buddhism i .....

.... role of militant Kosovar Albanianforces was also of concern. On 12 June 1998, the North Atlantic Council, meeting at Defence Minister level, asked for the assessment of possible further measures that NATO might take with regard to the developing Kosovo Crisis. This led to consideration of a large number of possible options. On 13 October 1998, following a deterioration of the situation, the NATO Council authorised Activation Orders for air strikes. This move was designed to support diplomatic efforts to make the Milosevic regime withdraw forces from Kosovo, cooperate in bringing an end to the violence and facilitate the return of ref .....

.... This is a big change from the one ruined city where barley a building was left standing tall. South Korea has become a proud county and is considered a global economic power. The success of a county that was thought to be lost could not come without a price. The county sulfured much in their time of rejuvination but their political leaders have managed to guide them on a path that stays clear of any extreme misfortune. The county did so well in fact that it has become one of Asia's leading exporters and the home of some of the most well known companies. South Korea exports items from countries like Hundi and Samsung, names we kn .....

.... war. Germany needed to be punished because they destroyed many countries and they would have kept hurting them if the treaty did not stop them. They did this to Germany because it was only humanitary to the other nations that were destroyed. The impact of this treaty was good for the allied nations. President Woodrow Wilson played an important role in drafting the treaty. I feel that he did a good job in seeing that the treaty was carried out and that everyone that agreed to it followed it. The treaty was also good because it helped to end World War I. I think if they did not have the treaty then Germany would have done more dama .....

.... followed a well-planned timetable of torture that covered her prisoner's entire body and would carry the session through the night. At a few minutes before midnight, she had eight fingers to go." This actual account from Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson is just one of the thousands of stories which is condemned to the small circle of s and the few that talk to or read the stories they so painfully tell. Never would you find a personal account of this magnitude and detail in your general history text or even find any quotes from the thousands of GI's stationed in Vietnam. In fact most Americans haven't and never will hear these detailed .....

.... when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. They were there when the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out. And they were there when the Supreme Court ruled on the Hazelwood court case. The professional journalists have set an example for high school students who also want to cover important events that are pertinent to their school and community. Up until 1987, the Tinker v. Des Moines (1968) case’s ruling prevailed which appeared to reinforce the idea of high school students’ right to free speech—as long as there was no “disruption of or material interference with school activities� according to the court (Essex 140). The case outlined t .....
