In 1950, three years prior to Barnes\' article concerning \"1984\" trends another author, Ray Bradbury, set out a foreboding vision of the future in a short story titled, \"The Fireman.\" Later, Bradbury\'s story would be renamed Fahrenheit 451 after the temperature at which paper burns.

Harry S. Truman
.... the United Nations, hopefully established to preserve peace.
Thus far, he had followed his predecessor\'s policies, but he soon developed his own. He presented to Congress a 21-point program, proposing the expansion of Social Security, a full-employment program, a permanent Fair Employment Practices Act, and public housing and slum clearance. The program, Truman wrote, \"symbolizes for me my assumption of the office of President in my own right.\" It became known as the Fair Deal.

Harry S. Truman
.... Church Sunday school. There
he met five-year-old Elizabeth Virginia ("Bess") Wallace, with whom he was
later to fall in love. Truman did not begin regular school until he was eight,
and by then he was wearing thick glasses to correct extreme nearsightedness.
His poor eyesight did not interfere with his two interests, music and reading.
He got up each day at 5 AM to practice the piano, and until he was 15, he
went to the local music teacher twice a week. He read four or five his .....

Heinrich Himmler
.... virtually without limit. In addition to his other responsibilities, he was also responsible for the security services (Sicherheitsdienst) and the concentration camps, which up to that time housed prisoners of the state.
Himmler\'s men staged the phony border incident that Hitler used to justify the invasion of Poland at the outbreak of World War II. As the war went on, the armored portions of the SS - the Waffen SS - began to rival the Armed Forces for power in the military field, culminating in Himm .....

Heinrich Schliemann
.... to produce a single find large enough to earn him the respect of fellow archaeologists, and also permission from the British to excavate at Mycenae (Calder 33). Twenty years of research led the Traill to the belief that, \"the question is no longer whether but rather to what extent we should distrust Schliemann\'s archaeological reports\" (Traill 6).
However, the modern scholars\' assessment of Schliemann as a fraud and a psychopath (Calder 36-37) unfairly detracts from the importance of what he .....

Henrik Ibsen

It was a time of rebuilding, reorganizing and a time to accept change. The country’s figureheads were also changing. When the most respected of men were generals, soldiers, p .....

Henry Ford

The reason many people felt this way was because it was cheap and could be purchased by the average person. The Model A was so successful that Ford began working on a new car. Little did he know, it would become the most famous car ever. In 1907, the work on the Model T started. While working on the project, Ford nev .....

Henry James

Here, \"he complained that women who wanted to become just like men were disregarding their own uniqueness.\" (Norton 616) The Tragic Muse, published in 1890, continues this trend as it contrasts art with politics. After these works failed commerically , James turned to the British stage; he found no greater su .....
