Chanel, Gabrielle
.... fabrics and articles of clothing that were worn by men but also, beginning with how she dressed herself, appropriated sports clothes as part of the language of fashion. One can see how her style evolved out of necessity and defiance. She couldn't afford the fashionable clothes of the period--so she rejected them and made her own, using, say, the sports jackets and ties that were everyday male attire around the racetrack, where she was climbing her first social ladders.

Charles Dickens 2
.... die too?"--A tribute both to his association with Christmas and to the mythological status of the man as well as of his work. The Carol immediately entered the general consciousness; Thackeray, in a review, called it "a national benefit, and to every man and woman who reads it a personal kindness." Further Christmas books, essays, and stories followed annually through 1867. None equaled the Carol in potency, though some achieved great immediate popularity. They represent a celebration of Christmas .....

Charles Lindbergh
.... Lindbergh’s forward vision. Designed to fit Lindbergh perfectly, the plane utilizes every inch of space. You would think that a person would want to see straight forward, but in Lindbergh’s case he said that many mail pilots would actually paint their forward window black to cut back on glare. Although he tried to keep things as light as possible, such as, the shoes that he had designed especially for the flight, he did bring items which he considered sensible: an inflatable rubber raft, a .....

Charles Lindbergh 2
.... away impressed. Lindbergh wanted the plane done in two months, rather then the three months Ryan Airlines had wanted, but after much overtime, they finished the Spirit of St. Louis by the deadline.
Because it was being built customized for Lindbergh, the single goal of the Spirit of St. Louis was to reach Paris. Wingspan was increased to hold the extra fuel tanks that would be needed. This would give it a maximum range of over 4,000 miles, more then enough to cross the Atlantic and reach Paris.

.... released in March, 1967 after serving seven years. By the time Manson was thirty-two years old, he had spent seventeen years, more than half of his life, in prison. This long stretch of incarceration had left its mark. "If Charlie has any roots, they're in the penal system," 1 said one acquaintance. "Inside, you have to be aware of everything, and when he came out, Charlie was like a cat. Nothing got by Charlie if something happened within a hundred miles of him, he made sure he knew about it. Everytime .....

Charles Manson Aka Jesus Christ

Now, it's time to unveil the infamy of Charles Manson and Jesus Christ. Yes, both of them are wanted for influencing murder. Charles Manson has led the Tate-LaBianca murders as Jesus Christ led the city of Jericho, town of Salem murders. In both incidents, people were to die for their "sins".
Because of this, both Manson and Christ have been the victims of injustice due to the courts and trials. During the trial, M .....

Charles Shultz
.... her once before. Lucy works hard at being bossy, crabby and selfish. She is loud and yells a lot. Her smiles and motives are rarely pure. She’s a know-it-all who gives out advice whether you want it or not--and for Charlie Brown, there’s a charge. She’s a real grouch, with only one or two soft spots, and both of them may be Schroeder, who prefers Beethoven. As she sees it, hers is the only way. The absence of logic in her arguments is a strong part of her character. When it .....

Christ Is The Answer - John Saward
.... always be the answer to life. That answer can easily be forgotten and pushed aside by routines. Even if it is forgotten or lost in the fog, Christ's work is still very visible to this day. This is visible through the work of John Paul II. From the very beginning of Pope John Paul II's Pontificate, he stressed the importance of Christocentricity. "The opening words of his first encyclical state the truth upon which all his teaching is built: ' The Redeemer of man , Jesus Christ is the centre of th .....

had opened the seeds of change. The European society as a whole, had
thought that the Europeans were doing a favor, by changing their primitive
ways, when in fact, some of the Native American customs were far more
superior to what the Europeans had in their own. The obstinate Europeans,
did not want to make concessions because they had an assumed air of
superiority.
Columbus has been the all-time heroic .....
