.... learn to feel patriotism or appreciation for their adopted country far beyond that of the average citizen who has always lived in that country. This love of one's adopted country is especially true of persons who have fled from the restrictions and controls of a dictatorship to a free or democratic country. These citizens are often willing to make unusual sacrifices for their new homeland. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of patriotism is the people who gave their lives to free us from the British during the Revolutionary War. They fought and some of them even died so you and I can have the freedom to pretty much as pleas .....

.... 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 business. Polo ties soon became the status tie. And Ralph Lauren became the menswear design to watch, as his ties revolu .....

.... them the “talk of the city,” shaking the roofs, buzzing the cafes, and even the name Salieri “sounds throughout all of Europe” (2,3). The reason for Salieri’s success, as well as many musicians of the eighteenth century, is because they have become enslaved by the well-to-do and hence are “no better than servants” (1,3). This applies especially to the king. For example, in , His Majesty forbid any ballet in his operas. Imperial commands such as this are not to be interpreted in any way, in other words, they are to be merely obeyed without any dispute. Since operas tend to the needs of the hig .....

.... deeply affected Charles. Though terrible, this brief collapse into the working class, he began to gain that sympathetic knowledge of their life that informed his writings. Also, the images of the prison and of the lost, oppressed, or bewildered child recur in many novels. When his father and mother got out of jail his mother wanted him to stay at work. Happily the father's view prevailed. His schooling, interrupted and unimpressive, ended at 15. He became a clerk in a solicitor's office, then a shorthand reporter in the lawcourts, and finally, like other members of his family, a parliamentary and newspaper reporter. These years left hi .....

.... a good slave owner, his hypocritical nature made him accuse others not to own slaves while he, himself was owning slaves. Another part of the hypocrisy was that Jefferson believed that the slaves were dependent upon the white man, while he, himself was dependent upon the slaves. Jefferson also was hypocritcal in his acquisition of the Loisiana territory. In Jeffersonian principles, large expansive governments were bad, and small was good. This was a antithesis of that principle. Jefferson knew that the acquisition of the Loisiana territory was beneficial to the welfare of the U.S. According to the constitution, nowhere in the consti .....

.... South would never be the same again. was born on December 8, 1765 in Westboro, Massachusetts. The tall, heavy-shouldered boy worked as a blacksmith. He had an almost natural understanding of mechanisms. On a machine made at home, he made nails, and at one time he was the only maker of ladies' hatpins in the country. In his early twenties, Whitney became determined to attend Yale College. Since Yale was mostly a school for law or theology, his parents objected. How could Yale College help enhance his mechanical talents? Finally, at the age of twenty-three, Whitney became a student at Yale. By this time, he seemed almost middle-aged to his .....

.... Nation of Islam. Malcolm spent his time in jail educating himself and learning more about the Black Muslims, who advocated racial separation (Islam itself does not encourge or accept racism or racial separation but the Black Muslims group of that time did). When Malcolm was released in 1952, he joined a Black Muslim temple in Detroit, and took the well known name of Malcolm X. In 1958 he married Betty Shabazz, and together they had six daughters. By the early 1960s, the Nation of Islam had become well known and Malcolm was their most known and popular speaker. In 1963, however, the Black Muslims silenced Malcolm for his remark that .....

.... to careful measurements, discovered the law of falling bodies and of the parabolic path of projectiles, studied the motions of pendulums, and investigated mechanics and the strength of materials. He showed little interest in astronomy, although beginning in 1595 he preferred the Copernican theory (sun centered theory)—that the earth revolves around the sun. Only the Copernican model supported Galileo's tide theory, which was based on motions of the earth. In 1609 he heard that the Dutch had invented a spyglass, what is now called a telescope. In August of that year he presented a telescope, about as powerful as a modern field .....

.... Ozzy has done because of the fact that it just made him mad is that one day Ozzy’s wife Sharon came home one day and found Ozzy on the floor underneath the piano with a shotgun in one hand and a bloody knife in the other with seventeen dead cats all around him. What happened is Ozzy had drank and smoked and done all kinds of drugs and he didn’t like the cats to begin with so he shot and stabbed every one of them. He just didn’t care if they died or not. If that’s not enough for you to realize that Ozzy doesn’t care about what people think then listen to this. One day Ozzy was in a very expensive motel and once again was drinkin .....

.... enjoyed drawing and reading from an early age, but was often dissatisfied with the children books that were available to him. He attempted to read what he called "real books" even when he was a young child; he felt it was an embarrassment even to enter the childrens' section of the library. Sendak writes the type of books he wished he had as a child; entertaining stories which are not limited by any effort to make things so simple for children that they become mundane. Sendak's greatest influence as a writer was his father. Phillip Sendak was a wonderfully creative storyteller who amazed Maurice and his brother and sister. "He didn't ed .....
