ways that are becoming offensive. In addition to

Review of HARDBALL (by Chris Matthews) Before I
started reading the book Hardball, by Chris
Matthews, I had a preconceived idea of what the
content of this book would be. From the title of

about politics, and frankly, I dont care much for
politics. However, when I hear the word hardball
in the context of politics, I think of blood shed.

Final Essay Women in this country have been a part
of violence for an enormous amount of time. This
violence includes pornography, rape, and even
domestic violence. The United States judicial
system has intervened into the so-called private
sphere and eradicated women in society, providing
precedent and even updating statutes as well as
other types of legislation. Without intervention

the victims of much worse violence. Not to say
that the viole...
