It is clear, however, that by 1876-77, a majority .....

Sam Walton
.... and thousands of dedicated employees, Same Walton’s dream of Wal-mart would not be what it is today. I was overly impressed and fascinated with the biography of Sam Walton. Amazed at how a man who grew up in poverty could make such a large impact on an entire nation. You could have asked me about Sam Walton prior to my viewing of the video and I probably would have said that he was a rich tycoon that got lucky. But after viewing the tape, I have acquired the knowledge and understanding of what Sam had .....

Sandro Botticelli
.... Man in a Red Cap.
The painting, which is quite simple in nature, depicts nothing more than the bust of a teenage boy with a red hat on. The boy is uniquely outlined on each side with the right side of his body gently fading into a black backdrop and the left having a sharp and precise line separating him from the black. As the viewer may notice, the young man does not pose any facial gesture which may depict emotion. It is therefore almost impossible to know the feelings of Botticelli’s subject. .....
