many of which are descended from the Spanish colonists.
Beginning in 1954, when Guatemala's elected government was overthrown by the
army, the military began a brutal war against the Indian people. This type of
torture and oppression continued, and during the 1970's the repression was
especially harsh; during this time more and more Indians began to resist. It

Party."(Rovere,1959,p.128) McCarthy was shrewd in his manipulation of the media,
and well recognized for his skills in Public Relations. He used these abilities
to take advantage of the growing public frustration with the eastern Communist
movement, and moved from one charge to another. McCarthy barraged his
opposition with accusations and evaded demands for tangible proof as he
developed a loyal following. With the support of many Republicans, he accused
the administrations of Roosevelt and Truman with "twenty years of
treason."(Grolier, 1996)

managers and operators, and employers may potentially be liable for actions of
users over which they have no specific knowledge, intent, or control.

National Honor Society - Vice President Speech
Words: 428 - Pages: 2.... I have found that the most
successful fundraisers are those that are directed towards adults. For
example, a chicken charbroil on a Saturday afternoon is always very
profitable. We can pre-sale tickets to businesses, especially car
dealerships who cater food to their employees on Saturdays. Usually,
people will donate the paper goods and chips. Charbroils are very good
fundraisers to do. Parents always volunteer to cook the chickens and help
