- 945: The Press and Media Cause Rampant Swaying of the Election Votes Through Their Opinions and Reports
- ... related to him. These concepts did not start recently, or even in our century. The press and media's views affected the early presidencies too.

He was a close admirer of Washington and was sometimes said to be Washington's shadow (Presidency of John Adams, Ralph Adams Brown 1975). He and the Federalists believed that nothing the Anti-federalists and their supporting press could say would be enough to shake their control. Yet it was Adams who, in ...

William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, England to Mary Arden and John Shakespeare. He was the third of eight children. He went to a local grammar school, where his studies included Latin and Greek (Debnam). At the age of eighteen he married Anne Hathaway who was eight ... he had not only written the early poems and the early plays, but in the last three or four years half-a-dozen masterpieces: "A Midsummer Night s Dream," "Romeo and Juliet," Richard II.," "King John," "The Merchant of Venice," "The Two Parts of Henry IV" (Shakespeare The Man, 382). When he was thirty-five, Shakespeare was a member of the syndicate responsible for building the first Globe theater, in Southwark ... about situations they can relate to. Romeo and Juliet is often compared to other Shakespearean works that were written around the same time period. Some of these works include Richard II, Richard III, and Kind John.

- 948: Could Gambling Save Science: Encouraging an Honest Consensus
- ... betting markets could be applied to a much wider range of scientific questions than is presently considered feasible. (This section is somewhat dense, and may be profitably skimmed on a first reading.) ASSETS Imagine that John bets Mary $5, at even odds, that it will rain next Monday.

- 950: Northanger Abbey: Reader's Response to Heroine
- ... if I could think of one man more than another, he is not the person." The qualification preceding her rejection, coupled with the nature of the rejection, speaking positively of another rather than negatively of John Thorpe, give us a clear sign that Catherine is chiefly concerned with Isabella's welfare and reaction. This is confirmed in Catherine's next sentence; "I cannot suppose your brother cares so very much about me; and, you know, we shall still be sisters." The selflessness of this attitude, especially given the odiousness of John Thorpe, and the intentions of Isabella which will render Catherine's final affirmation untrue, make this response extremely endearing. Catherine is too good for her present company. It is perhaps as a result of this concern for other people that Catherine at times lacks the courage of her own convictions. When meeting John Thorpe for the first time, for example, she frequently finds herself disagreeing with him, but does not have the courage to voice her opinion. Instead, she changes the subject, often only to be contradicted ...
