Poor Country Great Leaders
485 words
I am going to compare two great leaders. One from
this century, and one from the reign of Caesar. It
is interesting to see how through out history that
all the great dictators thought alike. Though they
might differ in details all of them basically
followed the same pattern. And I think that is the
case with Caesar and Fidel. One of the main
similarities between Caesar and Fidel is their
early life. Both leaders came from middle class
families. Each leader had to work his way up the
ladder. Caes...

Game Of Baseball Modern Day

As anyone on the face of the civilized world knows
by now, the New York Yankees have just completed
one of the most dominating seasons in the history
of professional sports. In the process, as many
phenomenons before them, sports or otherwise, they
have captivated not only a city and a nation but
much of the planet as well. I have seen Pakistani
and Korean tourists visiting New York for the
first time buying and proudly wearing Yankee caps
and T-shirts. These people, obviously, know little

The Legend Of Saint Joan Arc
1,721 words
Bernard Shaw's famous play Saint Joan recalls the
legend of a young girl who leads her nation to an
improbable victory against the English. Joan of
Arc has since become a role model for girls and
women everywhere as a woman who conquered
seemingly indomitable odds in a world of men. But
one must wonder: Would the legend of Saint Joan
have the magnificence that it does had Joan not
been burned when she was? Is the grandeur of the
story of Joan of Arc found in her life or in her
death? The first s...

Lack Of Popularity Leonardo Found Work

... other in the original French attempt at
take-over by Charles VII, before his untimely
death in 1494 (soon after Ludovico's official
coronation no less). Consequently when Leonardo
had arrived in Milan (c. 1482), Ludovico was not
recognised as the official duke, which in my
opinion must have at least marginally affected his
position as the court artist. It is possible
though that Ludovico's admiration of Leonardo and
his work would have contributed to his hope to
work for the future Duke. Vas...

Development And Demise Of The Seattle Sound

The Seattle sound, a phrase coined for music
created by Alternative-style rock bands based in
Seattle, is said to contain three (3) basic
elements: it is loud, it is honest, and it is
borne of musicians that have experienced a degree
of difficulty in achieving recognition. The

Phoenix Bowling Alley Lo Mac Bowl Lanes

The first bowling house in Birmingham is somewhat
of a mystery. As happens so many times, it depends
on whom you ask. Some say there was a bowling
house on 1 st Avenue North near the Old Terminal
Station; while others say the YMCA had the first,
with either two or four bowling lanes located in
the YMCA building. It is agreed, however, that the

and is even more popular than tobacco. Marijuana
can have many positive effects on the body, such
as relaxation and pain relief. The legalisation of
marijuana would result in a decrease in crime and

Overlooking its obvious entertainment based
purpose, Americans have let the television
