The Clinton Scandal
... of him having to testify in front of Kenneth Starr’s Grand Jury.
Your admission last night was very disappointing. Although you admitted to answering questions truthfully, what happened to completely? How many questions did you leave unanswered? How many more lies will Kenneth Starr’s investigation uncover? Where was the term "I lied" in your speech? You admitted nothing. You went before the people and gave a pitiful speech so that it can be spun as a heart-felt admission of guilt in front of the American people. It is to be hoped that most people will be able to see through this obvious facade and see the truth.
Not once did you use the term "sexual relat ...

Report On Opera
... the art.
Opera today is facing the problem of continuous change. Historically, opera was physically distinguished as a landmark. Yet today, many of these houses no longer exist. Many have been demolished, while others have been renovated into houses, supermarkets, garages, or office buildings. Another aspect of change involves the content of the opera itself. Originally, opera was serious and grand. It has since evolved, adding new and different elements, to the point that opera now comes in all shapes, sizes, and degrees: seria, semiseria, buffa, grand, comique, Kammer, Singspiel, lyrique, light and intermezzo. Opera is today the generic term used for a ...

A Slave's Life
... mainly used for agricultural production in Maryland and south. Slavery was so popular that even eight of the first twelve presidents of the United States were slaveowners. Debates were had about slavery in the south but slavery was to stay for some time. Not even a century later between ten and eleven million Africans were sent to the United States to serve as slaves, about forty percent of southern population was made up of slaves. When all of these Africans arrived the legal status of them was poorly defined, and some managed to become free after a period of time, much like the indentured servants. But in the late 1600’s the colonies decided to enact laws th ...

... beginning to the present day. Each age is named characteristically for the type of material used for that time. Stone was used in the Old and New Stone age, bronze in the Bronze Age, and iron in the Iron Age.
The Great Ages began with The Old Stone Age starting at 100,000 BCE. The people lived in tribes and clans and often moved from place to place, hunting and gathering to live. They believed all life was sacred and all beings were divine, including animals. The tribal teachings taught that man and nature are one. Hunting and gathering was a sacred ritual because they would often believe they were at one with the animal being hunted. Shamens and shamenes ...

Jujitsu - The Gentle Art
... and Kadori, used Jujitsu to discipline the lawless and wild inhabitants of the Eastern provinces. Therefore, by definition, the art is nearly 2000 years old, however records do exist which show that the art was being practiced as far back as the 8th Century, over twelve hundred years ago. Jujitsu was formalised and most popular during the Edo period of Japan. This was the era of the Samurai. Jujitsu was the Samurai’s main set of combat techniques, after the sword. Jujitsu was a part of the Samurai’s fighting skills, something he could use when he was unable to use his favourite weapon.
There are many different styles of Jujitsu that exist around the world, and ...

Ludwig Van Beethoven The Incessant Sound Of A Fallen Tree
... I wondered what might have led to the demise of the strong anchoring system that had so obviously sustained the uprightness of this tower for so long. Not to mention what a scurry for life itself must have taken place by the multitude of creatures that were no doubt within the danger zone as tons of falling wood rushed earthward. Notwithstanding the magnitude of this event and the obvious lasting effects that resulted, I still wondered if “the falling tree had made a sound?”
When the life of Ludwig van Beethoven first encroached upon my path, much the same sensation was experienced. No doubt I had heard of the composer’s name, but then so had I foreknowledg ...

Arlo Guthrie
... "Alice's Restaurant" protested the draft and the Vietnam War. The lyrics of this song probably make no sense whatsoever, but there is a very long story behind it. The original version of the song is over eighteen minutes long, when done with the original story. This is a shorter version.
You can get anything you want... at Alice's Restaurant, exceptin' Alice
You can get anything you want... at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half-a-mile from the railroad track
Oh... You can get anything you want
At Alice's Restaurant.
First of all, there is no restaurant named Alice's Restaurant. Rather, it is about a woman named Alice who ...

Clockwork Orange
... away from someone. The pattern here to me is very clear. Kubrick liked to dive into subjects that are very controversial and gave his own opinion in the form of a movie. A is filled with a lot of hidden meaning and satire, which is what I’m going to discuss in this
essay. The movie itself doesn’t mention when or where this took place. But since it was shot in London during 1960, much of the culture of that time is shown throughout the movie. As I stated earlier the movie starts out by showing four young men dressed all the same, sitting in a milk bar. The milk bar sounds harmless but the "milk" they sold at this bar was laced with drugs that helped them in ...
