Even America’s most prominent statesmen including George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson believed the wide spread of alcohol consumption was appalling. The disgust at increasing alcohol consumption and public drunkenness led to efforts, by society’s upper class including John Adams, to have the number of permits for public houses (taverns) reduced, but such efforts failed. This failure led to stricter laws for tavern regulations, including discouraging sales on Sunday and no gaming permitted ...
- 1364: Leda And The Swan
- ... when the tender-hearted Leda had given protection to the swan, he had his way with her (346). Leda is innocent and unassuming. Her attacker disguises himself and deceptively targets her.

Leda is of the utmost innocence, and by not ... s actions, and even the divine Zeus must pay the price for his crime on the lowly Leda. Leda and the Swan is a sonnet composed mainly of binary oppositions that reveal its meaning. As John Lucas says, The rape of Leda becomes, in [Yeats ] imagination, an instance of the ways in which violence is both intoxicating and terrible (4110). Although blessed with such wondrous features, Zeus is still controlled by ... Mythology. Lebanon: The American University of Beirut, 1977. Johnsen, William. Yeats and Postmodernism.

- 1366: The Crucible: Fooled By the Innocence of Youth
- ... society. Abigail scares the younger part of the society into submission. The people who must decide the fate of the rest of the society, see only her innocence and truthfulness.

Later on he regrets having this affair, and he wants ... s parents were killed when she was younger, and her uncle, Reverend Parris, does not pay very much attention to her. She attempts to give people the impression that she is a very tough person. John Proctor and Elizabeth Proctor know what she is really like and wants to have nothing to do with her. In Act One she says, "I saw Indians smash my dear parents' heads on the pillow ... can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down." From this we get the impression that she might be a little bit mentally disturbed. The way that she acts in front of John Proctor reveals that she is not as sure of herself as she would like us to believe. Mary Warren decides to confess to the fact that they are all lying, and that she never ...
- 1367: “Case Study: ‘I Still Do My job, Don’t I?’”
- ... the “Good guys.” But, when the whole bunch is bad, the task may be too large. Assistant Manager, Phillip Tate, dated an employee. This we can work with. Both General Manager, William Bonney, and Manager, John Aston, should have a meeting with Tate and the employee to explain company policy (both, Bonney and Aston, need to be present to enforce the severity of the issue). Close monitoring should also be implemented for a while to ensure compliance. Bob Jackson, District Leader, and Bonney should perform a discreet investigation (wink, wink) to seek the truth in the matter of John Aston’s alleged taking advantage of teenage employee, Theresa Murphy (in which the accusation will be found false). During this erroneous investigation Aston should be suspended with partial pay (to sort of “Take one for ... the team”). The suspension is merely a gesture to appease Theresa’s mother, Mrs. Murphy (the accuser). She will not be satisfied with the lack of findings, but will be able say, “At least he (John) got suspended with his pay docked.” In the end everybody wins. Bob Jackson should confer with the corporate office to set up a series of management-training workshops to help bring Bonney and Aston ...

- 1369: A Tale Of Two Cities
- ... Her malignant sense of being wronged by the St. Evremondes turns her almost--but not quite--into a machine of vengeance. Dickens inserts details to humanize her: she is sensitive to cold; when the spy John Barsad enters her shop, she nods with "a stern kind of coquetry"; at the very end of the book, making tracks for Lucie's apartment, she strides with "the supple freedom" of a woman who ... red hair and outrageous bonnet, she's as good as gold, a fiercely loyal servant. Dickens places Miss Pross in the plot by means of her long-lost brother. Solomon Pross is revealed to be John Barsad, Old Bailey spy and "sheep of the prisons." Miss Pross' two defining characteristics are her devotion to Lucie and Solomon, and her stalwart Britishness. When Madame Defarge marches in, armed, to execute Lucie and ... dead. (Victorian grave robbers were in fact nicknamed "resurrection men.") One of the plot's biggest surprises hinges on Cruncher's failed attempt to unearth the body of Roger Cly, the spy who testified with John Barsad against Charles Darnay.

Marshall believed that Congress had the ... the time of Chief Justice Marshall’s Supreme Court. Maryland wanted to sue the bank that was in Baltimore because they would not give them the taxes given to them by the state of Maryland.
