.... workable post-war national security policy. There is no way to tell the story of post-war national security without also telling the story of George Kennen. Kennen, the foremost expert of Soviet Affairs in early post-war America, is almost wholly responsible for the policy of containment. What we must remember under Kennen's containment is that nuclear diplomacy is not separate from other national security measures as it is often today. Nuclear weapons were part of an integrated system of containment and deterrence. Truman told Kennen in early 1947 that "our weapons of mass destruction are not fail-safe devices, but instead the fundamental .....

.... beauty and history of the Presidio by including it within the boundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. In 1972, when the Golden Gate National Recreation Area was created, it was mandated that the Presidio be transferred to the park when it was no longer needed by the Army. In 1988 the Presidio was slated for closure by a BRAC (Base Realignment and Closures) commission and thus began the transfer of property to the National Park Service. In June of 1995 the Sixth U.S. Army marched out the Presidio, ending almost 219 years of military presence in the city. By September 30, 1995 all Army Facilities were transferred to the Nat .....

.... Act 1843 s.48 provides that words alluding to the masculine gender shall extend to a female. Joyce J. noted that nothing in the Solicitors Act of 1843 or any other amending statute can be seen as giving women any new privilege with the view to becoming solicitors or attorneys. Although Miss Bebb's initial action was dismissed, she was given leave to appeal the decision of Joyce J. The appeal case that ensued, is what one is going to provide a critical account of. The appeal case was heard at the Chancery Division of the Court of Appeal. The judges who heard the case were: Cozens-Hardy M.R.; Swinfen Eady L.J.; Phillimore L.J. The fundamenta .....

.... to the same genetic drum, is a thought so horrifying as to overshadow any lingering curiosity we might have over the final solution to the "nature or nurture" problem. But do you whisper to yourself a secret confession? Wouldn't you love to be cloned? I've never admitted it before, but I think I would. This has nothing to do with vanity, with thinking that the world would be a better place if there was another one of me going on after I'm dead. It is pure curiosity. I know how I turned out having been born in the 1940s, schooled in the 1950s, come of age in the 1960s, and so on. I find it a personally riveting thought that I could w .....

.... us as we see an increasing number of handguns fall into the hands of the young. I am shocked at the sight of these events where innocent children are being gunned down on the street because of petty little arguments over something so minuscule as a pair of shoes, a particular type of jacket, or simply just a misinterpreted look. I believe that more strict handgun regulations are a must in today's society. I'm not saying that we have to ban handguns, but we have to take legislative measures in order to limit the possibility of handguns falling into the hands or youths. Peter Annin and Tom Morganthau state that according to the Federal Bur .....

.... the beginning of the Twenty-first Century, however, they also remain inadequate to meet the needs of contemporary society. Concern for this immense growth and the accompanying implications produced the impetus to devise a means to ensure orderly and appropriate development. Thus, "The general policy of the world community in regard to emerging issues of air law demands the maintenance and promotion of a balance between technological advance in aviation and the preservation of a wholesome environment by providing adequate policies and prescriptions." (2) The initial governing treaty passed in 1929 is known as the Warsaw Convention. Thi .....

.... government, police, and military positions. The country's authority rests with members of the Politburo (China Country Report on Human Rights Practices for 1999). CCP stresses that it needs to maintain stability and social order. The Government's poor human rights record in 1999 shows the extent at which the Government intensified efforts to suppress its 1.27 billion people. A crackdown against a newly formed opposition party, which began in the fall of 1998, broadened and intensified during the year. By the end of 1998, almost all of the key leaders of the China Democracy Party (CDP) were serving long prison terms or were in custody witho .....

.... the center for the Dallas Stars, has temporally been injured and probably will not be able to play hockey for the rest of the season. Also a reason why I think professional athletes should receive such high salaries is that the athlete will not be playing the sport that they play for the rest of their life. Most athletes retire after the age of forty. And if that person does not have any skills, other than sports, then they need a way of support financially. Look at John Elway he retired this year. John Elway's wife has cancer and if John was not paid the high salary that he was paid he would not be able to pay for his wife's cancer treat .....

.... well with their affliction -- but there are some who would, at a certain point, rather die. What are the ethical parameters for ? The person is a mature adult. This is essential. The exact age will depend on the individual but the person should not be a minor who comes under quite different laws. The person has clearly made a considered decision. An individual has the ability nowadays to indicate this with a "Living Will" (which applies only to disconnection of life supports) and can also, in Rourke 2 today's more open and tolerant climate about such actions, freely discuss the option of with health professionals, family, lawyers, etc. My p .....

.... party system, in fact, in started the two party system. Jefferson was a true believer in a factionless government. He thought factions caused disruption in the government’s process and had no right to be a part of it. Jackson used his veto power more than any other president did. He considered himself the final word in all matters. Jefferson was the complete opposite in that respect. He considered himself the administrator, was did Washington, and the legislator. He believed that the veto should be avoided by all cost. Jackson believed that it was a necessary power that the president had a right to use. The Panic of 1819 set the st .....
