- 351: Dover Beach By Matthew Arnold
- ... transformations take place in the laboratory). Another difference in the two that I noticed was the complete difference in characters. The lawyer Mr. Utterson, is completely left out of the movie but not the play. Richard Einfield is also included in the play but not the movie. I thought that Mary Reilly was one of the more interesting portrayals of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that I have ever seen. I ... box office due to the title of the movie. There really is little correlation between the novel and this particular motion picture. The plot behind "Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde" is that aspiring scientist Dr. Richard Jax aquires his grandfathers scientific notebooks in his will. This leads to the aid of his own experiments, and consequentially he discovers the potion for his new "self". The only problem with the formula ... to get what they want. In this case, it was the situation where Ms. Hyde would completely take over Dr. Jaxs body. In trying to come up with another commonality, the relationship that Dr. Richard Jax has with his love interest suffers much like it does in the 1932 restored version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

- 352: The Effect of Third Party Candidates in Presidental Elections
- ... state's rights and increased defense spending and gained a large following of voters in southern states. The political purpose of Wallace's campaign was to force one or both of the major party candidates, Nixon and Humphery, to a more conservative position on the issue of state's rights. Wallace wanted the federal government to give the states the power to decide whether of not to desegregate (Mazmanian 89). However, neither Nixon or Humphery were willing to make concessions to Wallace, and this resulted in the closest presidential election in the history of the United States. Nixon came out on top, but he won over Humphery by only 0.7% the popular vote (about 500,000 out of 70 million votes) (Mazmanian 201). The votes that Wallace controlled could easily have ...
- 353: A Man For All Seasons (A Man Cannot Serve Two Masters)
- ... Thomas I will not.'"(Bolt, 57). The Common Man is a very sly person, and holds nothing back when it comes to him and a job. This is evident as he acquires a position with Richard Rich, another very self- serving person by easily manipulating him. Richard Rich had no inclination to hire the Common Man; he was manipulated so well that the Common Man gets a job, "Oh. Oh, I must contradict you there, sir; that's your imagination. In those ... of his life, as he sits in a courtroom does he finally realize that he cannot serve God and King. It is here that he realizes that he must choose, and he chooses God.

I am a dead ...
- 354: Mein Ghetto: Black Racism And Louis Farrakhan
- ... within. He is generally regarded as a retardant to progressive Black development in North America, at best, and more often, by the intellectual community as a racist, a bigot, and a danger to society. Ron Nixon, who is a staff writer at the Roanoke (Virginia) Times, believes that "Some of Farrakhan's appeal can be attributed to youthful experimentation by these young adults, and to their somewhat narrow embrace of 1960s-style black nationalism as expressed by Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party, and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)." Nixon tells us that "shown side by side in ads attacking gangsta rap and Time-Warner, Tucker and Bennett compared gangsta music to propaganda which preceded the horrors of Nazi Germany and blamed rap music for most of the social ills that confront black America." Finally, Nixon consider how it is that "while many black leaders have turned away from the so-called undesirable elements of black youth - gang members, drugs dealers, prisoners - the Nation of Islam has extended to them ...
- 355: What Role Should the U.S. Play in World Defense?
- ... protests in the U.S. were growing daily, and new satellites were being launched to bring the war live to the millions of Americans on the evening news.

This idea of "goals and timetables" provided guidelines for companies to follow and comply with affirmative action ...
- 357: Hunger Of Memory
- The universal growing pains that all children experience in one form or another are easily recognized in Richard Rodriguez s autobiographical excerpt from Hunger of Memory. Rodriguez s childhood was particularly unique given the fact that while he was born and raised in the United States, he was strongly influenced in the ethnic ... the paradox that became evident as he used English as his primary language. Furthermore, the reader learns that Rodriguez s experiences have contributed to his beliefs that a bilingual education is harmful. First of all, Richard Rodriguez came from a family where his parents had been born and raised in Mexico. After moving and settling in America, Rodriguez s parents gave birth to him and his siblings.

Kissenger's conceptual approach to the making of national security policy eliminated the crisis based flexible response system. "Crises," he said, "were symptoms of deeper problems ... lose importance, like Kissenger had predicted five years earlier. Before this point, United States interests were effectively met by its Pax Americana enforced on the world by U.S. weapons of war. By 1968, however, Nixon knew he had to deal with the world in a much less dynamic fashion. What Nixon and Kissenger did with their concept of a multipolar world order was to arrive at a conception of interests independent of threats.

- ... on the court. The Republican party wanted to gain the New Right as part of its constituency. The New Right had very conservative views and it was against the liberal agenda of the Warren Court.
