The Hacker Crackdown of 1990 was larger, better organized, more deliberate, and more resolute than any previous efforts. The U.S. Secret Service, private telephone security, and state and local law enforcement groups across the country all joined forces in a determined attempt to break the back of America's electronic underground.

- 2196: Good Versus Evil: Wars in A Separate Peace
- ... Finny are best friends. They go almost everywhere together and they even share a room at their school. We enter the story at what is called a "summer session" which could be described as today's equivalent of summer school. But, as the story unfolds, we are forced to ask ourselves, are they friends as the appear to be at the start of the novel or are they mortal enemies as Gene begins to hint with this quote at the point Gene thinks Finny is finally going to "get away" with something he did. "This time he wasn't going to get away with it. I could feel myself becoming unexpectedly excited at that."(page 20) This shows us that even though they are friends, Gene feels that Finny is too perfect and he ... is. "He had gotten away with everything. I felt a sudden stab of disappointment."(page 21) Finny, like usual had finally gotten himself out of a seemingly "sure catch." Later on in the novel, Gene's inner torment finally gets the best of him. "Holding firmly to the trunk, I took a step toward him, and then my knees bent and I jounced the limb.

- 2197: Holden Caulfield (catcher In T
- Holden Caulfield, the main character in J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, is what I believe to be one of the most well-developed characters which I have read about. He has many characteristics that are all his own, such as the way he views the world, his friends and his family. One of the main things that characterizes Holden, is that way that he thinks the entire world is "phony." Holden's view of the world as "phony" is a very strong one, and in most cases, is correct. Holden thinks that the majority of the people in the world are putting on some sort of an ... impress people, but how he is not when you get to know him. In the scene where Holden and Stradlater are in the "can," and Stradlater is getting ready for a date, Holden describes Stradlater's razor as "rusty as hell and full of lather and hair and crap." Another of Holden's run-ins with "phonies," came to him while he was in New York City. He was lonely ...
- 2198: Battle Royal
- Blind Is as Invisible Does, A man dealing with his perceptions of himself based on the perceptions of the society around him in Ralph Ellison's "Battle Royal" "Battle Royal", an excerpt from Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, is far more than a commentary on the racial issues faced in society at that time. It is an example of African-American literature that addresses not only the social impacts of racism, but the psychological components as well. The narrator (IM) is thrust from living according to the perceptions of who he believes himself to be to trying to survive in a realm where he isn't supposed to exist, much less thrive. The invisibility of a mass of people in a society fed the derivation of IM's accepted, willed, blindness. The reader must determine the source of what makes ...

- ... and wants to pursue his aims at all costs. His friend, Harrison, says: "Here [Arthur Jarvis] was, day to day, on a kind of mission." (173) Arthur Jarvis and his wife Mary "agree that it's more important to speak the truth than to make money." (172) Arthur Jarvis is killed in his house by Absalom, a black youth who gets entangled in crime. Absalom only intends to rob Arthur Jarvis ... noise, and came down to investigate" (186). Startled and afraid, Absalom fires blindly. Absalom later says in court: "Then a white man came into the passage⦠I was frightened. I fired the revolver." (194) Absalom's blind fear is symbolic of the fear, blindness, and misunderstanding between whites and blacks; these are the reasons of racial hatred. In his room, there are pictures "of Christ crucified and Abraham Lincoln" (176), the two men who fought for human love and compassion and were killed because of their beliefs. Arthur Jarvis can be identified with Jesus Christ. Jesus taught "love thy neighbor as thyself". Roman priests didn't understand him, but they felt his power and were afraid of him. Even though Christ taught compassion, they claimed he would incite a riot and crucified him. Like Christ, Arthur Jarvis teaches compassion and ...

They are not cross- applicable." The student, still baffled, persisted, "But if physics explains nature, how is it that nature can be prejudiced in what applies? I mean, why can't you just plug in numbers into equations and get the right answer, regardless of how small or large the numbers becomes?" The reply, "Well, you can. Well, we think that we think we can --- Well, we're not sure. But ! you and the public at large won't like the answer. It demands that the universe be in 10 dimensions, and that Lie mathematics produce symmetries that are boggling to the mind." Yet still inquiring the student questions, "Is there a name ...
