Mad Dog Marine Corps
1,858 words
I place my boot on the neck of this commie bone
bag, the toe resting on his chin. I think, I hate
this wet heat he breathes. At least there is no
rain in it -- for now. I hate his elusive sky,
too. A sky filled with foliage, unlike the limbs
and leaves of the hickory or oak trees back home.
"Slats, you and Mad-dog planning to marry that
commie better, " Luke hissed at me. I watch as
reality seems to shift; 5 ' 7 ", 176 pounds of
ground foliage in front of me apparently
transforms itself into a F...

The Inuit People Of Arctic
1,456 words
The Inuit are one of the many self-designations of
the Eskimo people. They are considered to be of
Asian decent, which is noticeable from their small
hands and feet. Another distinguishing feature is
the appreciable percentage of the B blood type,
which seems to be totally absent from the American
Indian, whom they are usually mistaken to be
descendants of (Mastny 25). These Inuit are
scattered in small communities across Northern
Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, and the
Chukotka region of Ea...

Makes The Story Jack Ryan
1,778 words
Marko Ramius is the captain of the Russian
super-submarine 'Red October'. The Red October is
a modified submarine of the Typhoon-class and is
nuclear powered. The 'October' can carry
twenty-six nuclear missiles, enough firepower to
blow up the city of Washington for about twenty
times. To test this very expensive submarine
(billions of dollars! ), the Russian navy has to
find the 'Red October' in the Atlantic Ocean.
Because the 'Red October' has a new
propulsion-system that is very silent, it wi...

A History Of Marine Science
1,095 words
The early history of marine science started about
11, 000 years ago. Nomads began voyaging into east
and central Europe, and across the plains of
central Asia. They journeyed to the shores of
northeastern Asia and crossed the Bering Sea into
North America and South America. Most traveled on
foot except for those who were talented in raft
building or navigation. Any coastal culture with
these talents had big economical advantages and
greater access to food or supplies. But when
European explorers...

Million Years Ago Five Hundred

On Saturday 12 th 2000, my family and I went on a
float trip on the Huzzah River in Steelville,
Missouri. The Huzzah River and its surroundings
were a perfect location for me to look for my
fossil. Since the water level was shallow, that
enabled me to look to the river bottom. Almost
immediately after I began my search near the edge
of the river, I spotted a rock that appeared to
have some sort of shell embedded in it. I decided
this would be a good specimen for me to try to
examine and identify...

Discernment Between Religion Deceived By Tartuffe Orgon
517 words
True identity is often masked by the personality
one wants to portray. This is especially true of
Tartuffe, a character in Moliere's controversial
comedy, Tartuffe (1664). In the five-act play,
Moliere uses the characters to convey the idea of
discernment between religion and false piety. The
setting of the play is in Orgon's house. Orgon is
a man who leads a life of wealth and happiness.
His family consist of Elmire, his wife, daughter
Marine, and son Damis. Also presiding in the house
are Mada...

In giving to the treatise here announced the name
of an Essay on the Theory of the Earth, the Editor
has taken a liberty that is certainly not
warranted by the original. The title of the French
work makes no mention whatever of the theory of
the earth. The fact is, that M. CUVIER having

of memoirs on the fossil remains of animals found
in the strata around Paris, (of which an account
was given in the 20 th vol. of this Journal), was

Cleaning Up after the Exxon Valdez Was A Mistake
Through many hours of research I have determined
that the spill cleaning techniques used to clean
the Prince William Sound area of Alaska did more
harm than leaving the oil where it was. The
Alaskan oil spill has become the most studied and
managed event of its kind. Although there is not
much that can be done about the marine life that
came into direct contact with the crude oil, the
geologic effects that the oil introduced into the
area should h...
