- 7456: Henry Ford
- ... announcement in January 1914 that workers would make a minimum wage of $5.00 a day for an eight hour work day. These reports ended as quickly as they started.

Though when asked by President Wilson to help in building war ships for the first World War he was quick to do it. He built motors, cylinders, caisons, steel helmets, and Eagle boats. In 1919 he was also called an anarchist by the Chicago Tribune who wrote a column in their ... favor and he was awarded six cents in damages.

- ... the shots. In this test Frazier attempted to accomplish the feat in 5.6 seconds. His best time? 5.9 seconds for a man who was regarded as one of the top marksmen in the world.

Zapruder’s recording of the assassination would be the single most important piece of evidence in the ... hypothetical situations. The cast of characters in these theories range from the socially and politically prominent to the virtually unknown. Seemingly minuscule details such as a minutes time difference in Oswald’s actions erupt into new possibilities involving different gunmen. There are literally hundreds of variations, of which I only point out several of the most widely accepted. The first of these conspiracy theories was brought to the publics attention by a man named Jim Garrison. Garrison became a popular media figure when, in 1967, he tried Clay Shaw, a prominent New Orleans business figure.

In recent years business and political leaders have become increasingly concerned about Germany’s decline in attractiveness as an investment target. They cite increasing preference by German companies to locate new manufacturing facilities in foreign countries rather than in Germany, to be closer to the markets, and to avoid Germany’s high tax rates, high wage cost, rigid labor structures, and extensive regulations.

Eastern Germany’s industries are metal ...
