You, on the other hand, make long moves for points, while the computer is sitting, waiting patiently for you to finish. So, do not make very long moves at the beginning of the game. Keep yourself to making short moves, and NEVER put a stone where the computer has another one on the end.

The obstical provided by the iron columns hardly affects the long waves at all, but scatters the short ripples. We have been watching a sort of working model of the way in which sunlight struggles through the earth's atmosphere. Between us on earth and outer space the atmosphere interposes innumerable obstacles ...

Naturally therefore, Leninists believe that since the working class is sensible only to its short term interests, it is vital that the Leninists are in power, in order for the revolution to suceed. It was this line of thinking that led the Bolsheviks to initially call for elections to the ... the crime. While these are easily attainable in peace, in war, particularly civil war, curtailment of rights and civil liberties are more likely to occur.

This actual account from Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson is just one of the thousands of stories which is condemned to the small circle of Vietnam veterans and the few that talk to or read the stories they so painfully tell. Never would you find a personal account of this magnitude and detail in your general history text or even find any quotes from the thousands of GI's stationed in Vietnam ... instead receive a very watered down, dehumanized, and impersonal account of one of the most controversial times in American history.
