her pregnancy and nine months later gave birth to
the baby boy in the family basement. Afterward she
placed the infant in a garbage bag, leaving him
for dead. Admitt...

stand that America took in involvement in World
War I only prolonged the inevitable and came at a
price to the U. S. The American public didnt want
to be involved in World War I, and Wilson and the
democrats knew it, although neutrality was a
difficult stand to ...

which threw up masses of dust into the upper
atmosphere, which made the summer of 1816 one of
the darkest and w...
