The Life Of Booker T. Washington
.... white ex-slave owners
began to respect Bookers notions. Not only was he becoming acknowledged by
the Blacks but now also by the whites. Booker T. Washington was being
secretly funded by great industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller. The love approached racism in a nonthreatening way. The only
thing that was a problem to him is not all people liked his belief. WEB Du
Bois did not like Booker T. Washington's statements. He believed that gave
the Ok to continue with racial segregation.
I believe that Booker T Washington was a great leader for the Black
community. His intentions were for the better of this c .....

The Life Of Hitler
.... gave him a really hard time and said to him "You will never be
painter." The rejection really crushed him as he now reached a dead end.
He could not apply to the school of architecture, as he had no high-school
diploma. During the next 35 years of his live the young man never forgot
the rejection he received in the dean's office that day. Many Historians
like to speculate what would have happened IF.... perhaps the small town
boy would have had a bit more talent.... or IF the Dean had been a little
less critical, the world might have been spared the nightmare into which
this boy was eventually to plunge it.

Jimmy Hoffa, His Life And Disappearance
.... give up his
boyish ways and become the man of the house. His years as a teenager were
also charged with a special kind of radiant energy. At the youthful age of
seventeen Hoffa was unloading boxcars at the Kroger grocery chain warehouse
in Detroit for thirty-two cents an hour. It was there that he organized
his first labor strike (Franco 150). It is risks like that one that led
Hoffa to becoming such a powerful figure in America. Hoffa married at a
young age and had two children, Barbara and James Jr..
While Hoffa was always a hard worker, he wasn't always the type of
man that you would like to call your friend. He wasn't .....

Nicola Sacco And Bartolomeo Vanzetti
.... August 23,
1927. With the encouragement of supporters, Vanzeffi issued letters and
articles from his prison cell and displayed a highly sensitive intelligence
despite the fact that he was largely self-educated. The Sacco-Vanzetti case
inspired controversy reaching worldwide proportions. Belief in their
innocence became widespread as they were seen to be victims of
antianarchist hatred.
Neither has been officially cleared of the charges against them in the
State of Massachusetts although considerable pressure has periodically
mounted to bring this about.

Chester Wilmot
.... illustrate its full
effectiveness. Also included are discussions on the concessions granted to
Stalin by the Allies in general, and Franklin D. Roosevelt in particular.
President Roosevelt believed that Stalin wanted security for his country
with no territorial acquisitions in mind. In order to give the Soviet
leader his second front in Europe, FDR also put the Japanese problem in the
Pacific aside.
By providing the reader with first-hand quotes and writings from the Nazi
war machine's hierarchy, Wilmot looks at the external and internal workings
of the German Wehrmacht in meticulous detail. The U-boat campaign, the

Dustin Hoffman
.... to act because of the events that took
place in the film. His character's personality and surroundings changed so
much. One minute Hoffman's character is a white Indian and the next he's a
gunfighter.
I thought that the role that Hoffman played in “Kramer Vs. Kramer”
was fairly simple, however it showed how he could play diverse roles in
different movies. In this film he played a father who's wife left him and
his son but then returns and attempts to obtain custody of their eight-
year-old son. Hoffman shows how he can act his emotions in this movie. I
was convinced that he probably is a father.
Tootsie is an extreme exampl .....

Silent Cal: An American President
.... to preserve the old
moral and economic precepts amid the material prosperity which many
Americans were enjoying. He refused to use Federal economic power to check
the growing boom or to ameliorate the depressed condition of agriculture
and certain industries. His first message to Congress in December 1923
called for isolation in foreign policy, and for tax cuts, economy, and
limited aid to farmers.
He rapidly became popular. In 1924, as the beneficiary of what was becoming
known as "Coolidge prosperity," he polled more than 54 percent of the
popular vote.
In his Inaugural he asserted that the country had achieved "a state of

The Life Of John Calvin
.... teachings. Calvin was
very knowledgeable of the scriptures and often quoted them in his writings.
He would relate the ideas in the bible to the present times. He would also
search the bible as a text for parables and ideas that supported his own
teachings. Catholics read and study the bible as a lesson to be learned
not as a point to proven.
The Catholic Church models itself as an institution. As an
institution there is an existing hierarchy. In this hierarchy is a system
analogous to that of the caste system. There are various ranks of priests
that are separate from the layperson. Contrarily, the Calvinists believe

Dwight David Eisenhower
.... tone that twelve months in the White
House have worked on John F. Kennedy.
Jack Kennedy -- Man of the Year for 1961 -- had passionately sought
the presidency. The closeness of his victory did not disturb him; he took
over the office with a youth-can-do-anything sort of self-confidence. He
learned better; but learn he did. And in so doing he not only made 1961 the
most endlessly interesting and exciting presidential year within recent
memory; he also made the process of his growing up to be President a saving
factor for the U.S. in the cold war.
Kennedy has always had a way with the people -- a presence that fits

graduate business school, but dropped out six months later. Kennedy
enlisted as a seaman in the U.S. Navy after taking a trip through South
America.
For a few months, Kennedy was stationed in Washington, D.C. He

After learning to command one of the small craft, he was commissioned as an
