- 231: Southern Voting Behavior Since
- ... voting for the most staunch conservative, or protector of Southern whites views. In the 1968 election Southern whites in the Deep South voted for George C. Wallace, while the rest of the South split on Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. In the Election of 1972 This trend seemed to continue, in that Nixon was the more conservative of the two Presidential Nominees and thus he carried the South. In the 1976 Election it seems that even the Southern whites were shaken by the Watergate Scandal in that it ... Publishers inc. 1997. Black, Merle and Kovenock, David and Reynolds, William.

- 232: Dwight David Eisenhower
- ... for work. Today his personal popularity compares favorably with such popular heroes as Franklin Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower. During 1961, Kennedy suffered some major setbacks, including one, in Cuba, that might have ruined some Presidents. (Richard Nixon has said: "If I had been responsible for failing to make a critical decision on the Cuban business which would have brought victory, I would have been impeached.") Yet, his popularity has remained consistently high ... 87th Congress had convened with lopsided Democratic majorities -- but those majorities were deceptive, particularly in the House of Representatives where conservative Democrats (mostly from the South) and Republicans saw Kennedy's squeaky win over Dick Nixon as less than a national mandate. The first major fight in Congress was over the Kennedy Administration's all-out effort to liberalize the House Rules Committee. The resolution carried by a scant five ...
- 233: John Kennedy
- ... he won the United States presidency at age 43. This was due in part mainly by four televised debates. Although he answered the questions with total compliance, his appealing looks won him many votes over Richard Nixon. This was one of the closest election of all time. He won by one hundred thousand votes of more than sixty-nine million votes cast. Kennedy appointed Lyndon Baines Johnson as his vice-president. JFK ... the youngest man ever elected president. He was also the first Roman Catholic President. John was inaugurated in January 1961, succeeding Dwight D. Eisenhower. Kennedy won the Electoral College Vote by three hundred votes to Nixon's two hundred nineteen. Senator Byrd won fifteen votes. John was also the first Television President. In his Inaugural Address Kennedy stated "Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend ...
- 234: Accusations By The Media
- ... society, our forefathers granted us the universal right to free speech. This meant that anyone could be scrutinized, if the information was true, by the media. The LAPD officers who beat Rodney King were scrutinized; Richard Nixon was scrutinized; even Jerry Springer has been scrutinized. These accusations by the media turned out to be true, and that is fine with me, but what about when the media jumps too far ahead? OJ Simpson is still portrayed as a criminal years after he was found innocent in criminal court. Richard Little (the man accused of the Olympic bombing) had his life destroyed because of all his negative media attention. No one has been arrested, but John Benet Ramsey's parents seem to be the ...

- 236: John F.Kennedy: Biography
- ... states as he could. He was running for the nomination against Lyndon B. Johnson, Stuart Symington, and Stevenson. Of course Kennedy won choosing Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate, or vice president. Republicans chose Richard M. Nixon and Henry Cabot Jr. to run against. In the campaign it was going to be a hard fight. Only one of them would become president and they both wanted it so badly. Both opponents were young and well known. Nixon had a major advantage over Kennedy because he was vice president under Eisenhower. This election was the first time presidential candidates debated face to face. These debates helped Kennedy get the national recognition he ...
- 237: Spin Cycle
- SPIN CYCLE With so many different scandal to his credit and numerous ongoing investigations pending, President Clinton has been bombarded by the media in a fashion not seen since the last days of the Nixon administration. Despite this unwanted attention, Clinton has managed to maintain lofty approval ratings and successfully deflect even the most ardent attacks. How does he do it? This question is answered in full in Spin Cycle ... Jones case. This lapse may be explained in part by the success of the spin-control methods Kurtz describes. But there must be deeper explanations as well. Bill Clinton is the most investigated president since Richard Nixon--facing inquiries into Whitewater, campaign fundraising abuses, and sexual misconduct--and yet improbably began 1998 with approval ratings as high as those of Ronald Reagan. But the new year has brought a barrage of ...

- 239: Engineering
- ... more “intelligent,” through the creation of sophisticated programs or development of higher level machine languages or other means. In order to make the computer more intelligent, the engineer must posses excellent cognitive skills. According to Richard Olsen of Southwestern Bell grades and work ethic are important. “My advice would be to make good grades. I know for a fact that good big corporations only will hire the students with the top ... light technical work. In the mean time you'll be around the equipment and just seeing it and knowing what it is and hearing about it and what it's called is of some value.” (Richard Olsen Personal interview). Computer engineers must also possess the desire to transform the theoretical into the practical. “They need an interest in figuring out new ways to do things. Ability to be analytical and creative ... advance to a higher position when you have fulfilled a certain criteria. You must prove yourself to be better than you once were and have the capabilities to understand and solve more complex problems. In Richard Olsen’s experience: “A computer engineer who is just starting out, and has good grades, can make between forty and forty-five thousand dollars a year. When the engineer becomes more experienced, they can ...
- 240: Martin Luther King Jr. 3
- ... People (NAACP), was ordered by a bus driver to give up her seat to a white passenger. When she refused, she was arrested and taken to jail. Local leaders of the NAACP, especially Edgar D. Nixon, recognized that the arrest of the popular and highly respected Parks was the event that could rally local blacks to a bus protest. Nixon also believed that a citywide protest should be led by someone who could unify the community. Unlike Nixon and other leaders in Montgomery s black community, the recently arrived King had no enemies. Furthermore, Nixon saw King s public-speaking gifts as great assets in the battle for black civil rights in ...
