that the doctors do not know how to cure. He
begins by saying that he is coming a holy room,

Abortion Clinics Hundred Years

... uns is not the answer to solving school
violence. Large inner city schools have metal

stop all the potentially harmful objects from
entering the school. It is a step in the right

types of terrorist attacks. Attacks on abortion
clinics are terroristic too. I a...

the ground hadn't been walked over for years.

The Winged Human Headed Bull

The one piece of Mesopotamian art that struck me
the most was the Winged Human Headed Bull, also
called Lamassu. This high relief struck me because
of its power. It is able to command attention
through its size, position, and strangeness. Its
scale is massive at almost fourteen feet tall. It
is placed at the entrance of the Citadel of Sargon
II, demanding attention and setting the mood. It
carries a strangeness with its five legs, bull
body, human head, and bird wings. When I first saw
