All the elements of the story point forward to that moment: the decision to build a bomb, the secret research at Los Alamos, the first impressive test, and the final culmination at Hiroshima. In the 48 years since, many others have joined the fray: some echoing Alperovitz and denouncing the bombings, others rejoining hotly that the bombings were moral, necessary, and life-saving
Walden - Chapter 2
If a man should walk through this town and see only the reality, where, think you, would the "Mill-dam" go to? If he should give us an account of the realities he beheld there, we should not recognize the place in his description. Indeed, by standing on tiptoe I could catch a glimpse of some of the peaks of the still bluer and more distant mountain ranges in the northwest, those true-blue coins from heaven's own mint, and also of some portion of the village
Facebook Twitter Google Advertisement American Revolution Videos (37) American Revolution Videos (37) In December 2014, a copper time capsule from 1795, buried by Paul Revere and Sam Adams, was unearthed at the Massachusetts State House in Boston. The contents included a pine tree shilling coin dating back to 1652, a copper medal showing George Washington, dozens of coins, several newspapers, and a silver plate thought to be engraved by Paul Revere
Google, can you tell me where my phone is? Google, can you match the people suffering depression with the doctors selling pills? Google, can you predict when the next viral epidemic will erupt? Technology is indiscriminate this way, piling up possibilities and options for both humans and machines. Your fleet of worker bots do all the weeding, pest control, and harvesting of produce, as directed by an overseer bot, embodied by a mesh of probes in the soil
The Writing Revolution - The Atlantic
By high school, students will be expected to produce mature and thoughtful essays, not just in English class but in history and science classes as well. I could not read or note every worthy article that was published last calendar year and I haven't included any paywalled articles or anything published at The Atlantic
The question in Washington, apart from how to escape the city on traffic-choked Friday afternoons, is whether political leaders are capable of building on these ideas. And between 1956 and 1992 America constructed the interstate system, among the largest public-works projects in history, which criss-crossed the continent with nearly 50,000 miles of motorways
The White-Savior Industrial Complex - The Atlantic
The genuine hurt of Africa is no fiction.And we also agree on something else: that there is an internal ethical urge that demands that each of us serve justice as much as he or she can. That is what people, educated and otherwise, do: they assess information and sometimes disagree with each other.) In any case, Kristof and I are in profound agreement about one thing: there is much happening in many parts of the African continent that is not as it ought to be
The History Place
Special Topics The Hitler Youth Biographies of Nazi Leaders Auschwitz Today - Photo Essay Timeline of World War II in Europe With hundreds of archive photos, text and documents
To be sure, this frame of negotiations took place without the real subject that shall pay the cost of remaining in Europe, whether in Euro or drachma, that is the working class, the unemployed, the precarious workers, the immigrants and the pensioners. The class struggle is the basic and sufficient condition not only to stop the capitalist attacks, but also the cohesive element that allows us to recall, the basic values of our class such as solidarity, direct action and companionship
Page F30: Iran in the 1970s before the Islamic Revolution
if any change towords freedom to choose our own paradigm is going to hapen someone needs to take on a magor leadership roll and do something about it! sadly I, and every other human I know is to afraid to shout that loud and be that smart. When you see pictures of this beautiful country, its cultural richness and speak to intellectuals from Iran, you think it really is such a shame what the mullahs are doing to this people
By the end of World War II, more than 12 million workers belonged to unions, and collective bargaining had taken hold throughout the industrial economy. It harbored a conception of the just society, deriving from the Ricardian labor theory of value and from the republican ideals of the American Revolution, which fostered social equality, celebrated honest labor, and relied on an independent, virtuous citizenship
You can make it easier for us to review and, hopefully, publish your contribution by keeping a few points in mind: Encyclopaedia Britannica articles are written in a neutral, objective tone for a general audience. Or, simply highlight a word or phrase in the article, then enter the article name or term you'd like to link to in the search box below, and select from the list of results
(Fermented cheeses such as feta and cheddar have a small fraction of the lactose found in fresh milk; aged hard cheeses similar to Parmesan have hardly any.) To test that theory, LeCHE researchers ran chemical tests on ancient pottery. Cattle bones represent more than two-thirds of the animal bones in many late Neolithic and early Bronze Age archaeological sites in central and northern Europe
The Tweaker - The New Yorker
He gets stopped for driving a hundred miles an hour, honks angrily at the officer for taking too long to write up the ticket, and then resumes his journey at a hundred miles an hour. He arrives at his hotel suite in New York for press interviews and decides, at 10 P.M., that the piano needs to be repositioned, the strawberries are inadequate, and the flowers are all wrong: he wanted calla lilies
The evidence, which has almost all been collected since the middle of the 19th century, varies greatly from region to region and is limited by what was deposited and by whether what was deposited has survived. As navigators, explorers, and colonists, for a long time they dominated much of the rest of the world and left on it the impress of their values, their technology, their politics, and even their dress
As the revolution rages, governments should stick to the basics: better schools for a skilled workforce, clear rules and a level playing field for enterprises of all kinds. The days when projects ground to a halt for want of a piece of kit, or when customers complained that they could no longer find spare parts for things they had bought, will one day seem quaint
