Son Of Dallas Cop Says Dad Was 1 Of 3 Who Shot Kennedy
... said during a
recent interview with the Austin American-Statesman.
Monday in Dallas, White is scheduled to show reports material
implicating his father, Roscoe Anthony White, in the 1963 assassination. It
suggests that White, who died in 1971, was a member of an assassination
team of three shooters, that he fired two of the three bullets that killed
the president, and that he also killed Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit
during the manhunt for Lee Harvey Oswald.
Among the material: a rifle with telescopic sight that uses the same
kind of ammunition as Oswald's gun; records showing that Oswald and White ...

Comparison Of Perugino And Caravaggio
... style ischaracterized by the Renaissance ideals of purity, simplicity, and exceptional symmetry of composition. His approach to form in Christ Delivering the Keys of the Kingdom to St.Peter was very linear. He outlined all the figures with a black line giving them a sense of stability, permanence, and power in their environment, but restricting the figures’ sense of movement. In fact, the figures seem to not move at all, but rather are merely locked at a specific moment in time by their rigid outline. Perugino’s approach to the figures’themselves is extremely humanistic and classical. He shines light on th ...

Manet Painting
... and the ministry actually intimidated the young Manet, who constantly aspired throughout his adult life, to gain the same level of reverence as that which his father possessed.
In fact so intrinsic is Manet¹s personal background to the analysis of the artists treatment of gender within his work, that any substantial theory concerning this subject must, be founded upon a detailed study of the artists formative years. Such a personal focus as this, allows the particularities found within Manet¹s relationships with women to become apparent, and therefore, in part, aids the understanding of the complex interactional ...

Themes Of Italian Renaissance Art
... "there is nothing
to be seen more wonderful than man." (Fleming, 284) This
could almost be taken as a motto for Renaissance art.
Michelangelo's David clearly supports Mirandola's statement.
Since Renaissance art focused on representing
tangible, human figures, rather than depicting scenes from
the Bible in order to praise God, the artists had to think
in more natural, scientific terms. Artists became familiar
with mathematics and the concept of space, as well as
anatomy. Lorenzo Ghiberti studied the anatomical
proportions of the body, Filippo Brunelleschi was
interested in mathematics in archite ...

The Emancipation Proclamation
... of established policy would have required return of fugitive
slaves to their masters.
Abolitionists had long been urging Lincoln to free all slaves, and
public opinion suported that view. Lincoln moved slowly and cautiously nonethe
less; on March 13, 1862, the federal government fforbade all Union Army officers
to return fugitive slaves, thus annulling in effect the fugitive slave laws. On
April 10, on Lincoln's initiative, congress declared the federal government
would compenste slave owners who freed their slaves. All slaves in the District
of Columbia were freed in this way on April 16, 1862 . On Jun ...

The Industrial Revolution
... on and the demand for that
product was usually set by a few local consumers. The process was easy and
simple, provided that the product being created was always required by
someone else. However, the invention of Machinery and all of its
accompanying peripherals allowed producers to start manufacturing on a mass
scale. With factories placed in central locations of the townships (known
as centralization), the previous system was dismantled and categorized into
steps. No longer would one person be required to build, market or transport
their product since the new system introduced the art of specialization.

Birmingham, Alabama And The Civil Rights Movement
... Andrew Young, a lieutenant of King's. The Albany campaign was uneventful. In its wake, King directed the energies of the civil rights movement to Project C, for "confrontation." In Bull Connor, the civil rights movement found "the perfect adversary," to coin the author's term. There was no more vivid a picture of the injustice of segregation as "the confrontation between grim-faced, helmeted policemen and their dogs, and black children chanting freedom songs and hymns." (p.163) For a seven-day period in May 1963, the nation was exposed to these and similar pictures (some of which appear in the book). Repo ...

... incoming and, partially inaccurate information, and thus not shot down a civilian airbus.
There were several events that set the stage for the Vincennes incident. All of these revolved around the Iran-Iraq tanker wars and were blatant acts of aggression by Iran. One of the most significant of these events was the missile attack on the USS STARK that killed more than 30 if her crew in May of 1987. Another important event was the laying of mines in international waters by Iran, which lead to the USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS striking a mine and taking serious damage in early 1988. These events were probably still fres ...
