... writing a book without knowing exactly how it's going to end. It would be like setting out on a cross-country trip without a road map." Strangely, however, the story closest to Lois Duncan's heart still doesn't have an ending. Who Killed My Daughter? The account of her search for the truth behind the murder of her 18-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, was written in real time as the horror unfolded.

Her search for the answers took her into the underworld of Vietnamese gangs and led her to seek the help of the ...

After attending many high schools because of her family’s travel, she graduated, and was sent to DePauw University at Greencastle Indiana in 1919, where her intention was to major in English.

... 3) Legitimacy: restoring the monarchies of pre-napoleon Europe. Legitimacy threatened Liberals causing revolts. The response was The Troppau Protocol and Carlsbad decrees. These banned revolution and promised military intervention. The first failure of the Troppau protocol was Greek Independence from the Ottoman Empire. This sparked two series of revolts. In Eastern and Central Europe the focus was nationalism. In Western Europe the focus was growing industrialization calling for lower class political participation. These revolutions threatened European unity. In Italy Nationalism grew. Many movements and secret societies formed, including “risorgime ...

... his legacy had a distinctive place in American culture" (85). It has been felt by many people over the years that there was no United States inventor as great as Franklin until the time of Thomas A. Edison (Blow 24). Franklin's words to a friend in Pennsylvania, Joseph Huey, best explain his attitude not only toward what he considered his civic duties, but also his investigations as a scientist or philosopher. He made some of the most famous and certainly the most practical discoveries of his time. "For my own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself as conferring favours, but as paying debts. In my travels, and since my settlement, I ...

... no time at all, he knew them from A to Z. Not only did he study his father's machines, but any other he could find in his community.

One afternoon, he picked up a few tools and headed for the old mill to find how steam was regulated to enable the saws to work. He examined the steam ports and saw how the slide valve controlled the steam. Shortly afterwards, as Henry and his father were going into town, they met a huge, steampowered vehicle on the road. Henry had ...

... of Senator McCarthy's ideas and methods. He then in 1957 was elected to be chief council for the Senate Rackets' committee. During that time he exposed mofia figureheads such as Jimmy Hoffa and Dave Beck. He seemed to be obsessed with dismantling the Mofia. Under his brother's administration, he continued his attack on the Mofia. Robert Kennedy had no sympathy for the mob, nor did he care that he was being criticized by the media for his “harsh measures” such as his extensive use of wiretaps . In 1964 he resigned as Attorney General to subsequently gain a Senate seat from New York. While being a Senator, his views on government slightly changed. He was now pay ...

... soul on its perilous journey through life. His powerful imagination created haunted worlds where grotesque monsters and hideous demons frolicked about; twisted and gnarled structures filled the backround; distorted human souls being pitchforked into hell; fruit and eggs endowed with arms and legs; giant birds and fornicating humans scattered throughout fiery landscapes. Bosch’s use of imagery was strong. The central panel of The Last Judgement is an especially hellish landscape, infested with a swarm of devils, burning pits, furnaces, bizarre and twisted constructions, and instruments of torture. Half human, half animal monsters prance around the scenery. ...

... nonviolent protest. He moved to Alabama to become pastor for a Baptist church. Just after he received his Ph.D. in 1955, King was asked to lead a bus boycott in Montgomery. It had been formed after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white passenger. Throughout the 381 days which the boycott lasted, he was arrested and jailed, repeatedly threatened, and his home was bombed. The boycott ended later that year when the Supreme Court outlawed segregation in public transportation. This was his first victory and alone made Dr. King a highly respected leader. When he went to India in 1959, he studied Gandhi's principle of "Satyagraha" or nonviolent ...
