Paper Abstract:
Reviews biography examining historical truths & mythical beliefs about President.
Paper Introduction:
Abraham Lincoln: Man and Myth
Stephen Oates believes the grandiose dimensions and symbol-building power of the myths people create reveal their deepest longings (Oates 4). He argues this is especially true of the myths Americans have created about Abraham Lincoln, the powerful figure who presided over the country's greatest trial, the Civil War (Oates 4). However, he argues that rather than reflect any actual truths about Lincoln the man and President, the American mythology surrounding Lincoln reflects the spiritual and psychological needs of America's culture (Oates 4).
Oates argues that mythology carries a different truth than that of historical truth. In the case of Abraham Lincoln, the myth is what Americans wish the man had been rather than what he really was. The Lincoln myth has imbued him with the traits Americans consider th

REVIEW OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: A BIOGRAPHY IN HIS OWN WORDS
BY THOMAS FLEMING
About Benjamin Franklin
When Benjamin Frankilin was 22 years old, in 1728, he wrote his own epitaph: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding), lies here, food for worms; but the work shall not be lost, for it will (as he believed) appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author" (Bartletts 117). Clearly, he has not been forgotten. Benjamin Franklin is in fact one of the most famous names in American History. He was born in Boston in 1706 and when he was 17, moved to Philadelphia to work as a printer. In the course of

Paper Abstract:
Summary of biography of Polish-born author.
Paper Introduction:
Below is a chapter-by-chapter summary of the book Joseph Conrad: The Three Lives by Frederick R. Karl, detailing the main points in each chapter and relating them to the whole of the story of Conrad's life.
PART I
Joseph Conrad was born in 1857 in Poland, and the author finds that his years in Poland were a preparation for the exile and achievements he would attain after 1874. He was intended to be a "Konrad," which the authors says means he was meant to be a romantic hero as derived from poems by Mickiewicz. He would later anglicize the name to Conrad. The author traces the political and intellectual currents of the time to show the influences on Conrad as he grew up in Poland. His father, Apollo, was also a writer who was very politically involved, and

Paper Abstract:
Reviews biography of 20th Cent. Amer. dancer.
Paper Introduction:
The 20th century has been a period of revolution for virtually all of the arts. The classical standards of artistic expression have been studied, deconstructed and ultimately reinvented through the paintings of Pablo Picasso, Salvadore Dali, and Max Ernst, the sculpture of Constantin Brancusi, the literature of James Joyce and the music of Igor Stravinski, to name a few. With creative insight, passion and sheer artistic potency, Martha Graham earned a place among this pantheon of luminaries through her singular creation of the modern dance. In 1937, Merle Armitage compiled some of the articles written by her friends, colleagues and critics into a single volume titled Martha Graham, The Early Years. The articles, written over the first decade of her career, provide valuable insight into the contemporary perception of the importance and impact of her work.

Paper Abstract:

Paper Introduction:
The life story of any artist is of great interest to those who wish to gain a better understanding of the artist’s work. Don McDonagh has provided the means to understand the work of one great artist in his volume titled simply, Martha Graham: A Biography.
Martha Graham was the oldest of the three daughters of George Greenfield Graham and Jane Beers Graham. She was born on May 11, 1894, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Her father was a physician whose practice provided a comfortable life for the family. In those days it was common for young girls to take an interest in the theater. Martha was no exception. One of her early attempts at costume design involved dressing up the family’s reluctant terrier in doll clothes. This episode is telling of her deep and lifelong interest in animals. She was espec

Paper Abstract:
(Christopher Hogwood). Reviews biography of 18th Cent. English composer born in Germany.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the book Handel by Christopher Hogwood.
This biography of the great German composer whose greatest renown was in England is regarded by many critics as the "definitive" work on the man and his music, and the most esteemed. Mr. Hogwood's background doubtless has much to do with this view, since he was a founder member of the Early Music Consort of London and from 1968 to 1976 was a regular member of that ensemble. He is also a world class conductor, having made his American debut in 1981 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. He has since conducted orchestras all over America, and is something of a "Handel expert."
Handel's father intended that the boy should go in the Civil Service, considered a noble profession at the time (12).

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of biography of 17th Cent. British clergyman as sociohistorical document.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine The Family Life of Ralph Josselin, by Alan Macfarlane. The plan of the research will be to set forth an analysis of the subject matter of the book, and then to discuss its strengths, weaknesses, and limitations, as well as its status as a microhistorical document.
What has to be realized about The Family Life of Ralph Josselin is that it represents a scholar's "take" on an individuals life, as revealed through that individuals record of his own life. In other words, what we are looking at in this book is not the direct evidence of a diary but an interpretation of that diary that dwells on what appears to be most significant about it as a historical document. Knowing that the interpretation is going to be paramount, we find it an uncomplicated task to see the value of the book as a slice of

Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the book, JFK: The Presidency of John F. Kennedy, by Herbert S. Parmet.
This book, the second in a biographical series on JFK, provides an overview of Kennedy's presidency, with an emphasis on the most outstanding (or notorious) episodes during his tenure, such as civil rights, the Cuban missile crisis, the Bay of Pigs, and other historical events. These events are covered in successive chapters, detailing the episodes which most people will find historically interesting.
Parmet's precise background is not mentioned in the book. However, he is obviously a seasoned writer in the area of political science, since his earlier works include; Aaron Burr: Portrait of an Ambitious Man, Eisenhower and the American

Paper Abstract:
Compares content, biases, sources of biographies of civil rights leader.
Paper Introduction:
The Civil Rights Movement in its contemporary form started in 1955 with an act of mild disobedience by a black woman on a bus in the Deep South. Black leaders developed several strategies over the next few years, strategies that would be successful in changing laws and in getting some of the long-standing discriminatory institutions of the South changed. Between 1954 and 1965, the Civil Rights Movement developed into a major movement for social justice, societal change, and self-determination for millions of black Americans. The tactics undertaken by the movement have ranged from violent to nonviolent, with nonviolent predominating under the direction of Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers. The movement started first around the busing issue in Montgomery, Alabama, but it was also the culmination of decades of frustration nearly a century

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of biography of 14th U.S. president.
Paper Introduction:
Franklin Pierce was the Fourteenth President of the United States and served in office for one term, from 1853 to 1857. In many ways, he has not been considered a particularly notable President, and there are few biographies available for him. One of the earliest and most important was The Life of Franklin Pierce from 1852, important not simply because it is the life of Pierce but because it was written by the noted American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. In some ways, this biography can be considered a campaign tract extolling the virtues of Hawthorne's choice for the next President of the United States, for the book ends with the nomination of Pierce to be his party's candidate. Indeed, in the lat paragraph, Hawthorne suggests that the country would do well to elect the Democrat Pierce over the Whig General Scott, Pierce's former commanding officer.

Paper Abstract:
Reviews autobiography of peasant's political radicalization in early 20th Cent.
Paper Introduction:
THE WORKER AS RADICAL
In the autobiography of Ivanovich Kanatchikov, A Radical Worker in Tsarist Russia, Kanatchikov is radicalized by his work experience. He lives at a time of major change as many of the peasant class who worked the farms were being transferred by circumstances and economic change to urban factories where the work was very different. The radicalization of this worker takes place as he moves from the rural to the urban region, from farm work to factory work, from a state of political apathy to a state of political concern, and from worker to radical.
Kanatchikov's early life is in the rural regions, and there is no indication that this was some sort of ideal life later changed by the harshness of the factories. The life of the peasant was no better and perhaps worse than that of the factory

Paper Abstract:
Life of author of "Live from Death Row," political activism in Black Panthers,murder conviction, death sentence,litigation.
Paper Introduction:
This paper is a discussion of black activist, author, and self-described political prisoner, Mumia Abu-Jamal, author of Live from Death Row. Abu-Jamal, who is awaiting execution for a crime he insists he did not commit, has written scathingly about racism in America and the particular racism of the death penalty. Abu-Jamal's writings convey the deep-rooted rage of many blacks in America who believe that justice is not color-blind but instead discriminates against black men, especially when their victims are white. Abu-Jamal is a powerful writer, though his writings are targeted to an almost exclusively black audience and his interest seems focused principally on inspiring his audience to political action. His fury, and the perspective that he represents, is almost diametrically opposed to the moderate, mainstream voices of civil rights activism most closely

Alexander the Great's skills and accomplishments as a military leader and his shortcomings as well as his gifts in consolidating his victories in the realm of politics.
King at 20 and dead of fever at 33, Alexander in 13 years conquered most of the known world, generally in the face of insuperable odds. He was able to do so in part because he inherited a superb army, an alliance and a sense of mission from his father, King Philip II of Macedon, but most of all because he excelled in all the arts of war. An extraordinarily brave and inspiring leader in battle, Alexander shared the privations and sufferings of his small band of devoted followers and spurred them on to feats of endurance and courage unparalleled in ancient

Cites his many honors and awards. His legacy to students of inorganic chemistry. Based on the book PRIESTLEY MEDALIST: A CHEMIST FROM COELLO, by M. Jacoby.
Paper Introduction:
Fred Basolo was born in Coello, a coal mining village with a population of roughly 300, in 1920. Basolo's parents had emigrated from the Piedmont region of Northern Italy to escape poverty and famine. He became interested in chemistry in high school. He took a lab course run reluctantly by a home economics teacher who was given the job of teaching the course on Saturdays. The students read the lab book and did a few experiments and Basolo's interest in chemistry was kindled. His principal recommended that Basolo attend college, but he needed some convincing since none of his siblings had even gone to high school and no one in Coello, his home town, had ever gone to college.
Basolo attended the Southern Illinois Normal school in nearby Carbondale, a low-cost school that offered only one type of fo

Life & career of 18th Cent.-19th Cent. composer, focusing on his psychological development.
Paper Introduction:
Beethoven: His Psychology and Great Works
Neither a great man nor a great work of art may be understood through a single category of analysis. Such greatness is complex and demands a wider point of view. Beethoven's prolific composition included hundreds of works--ballets, concertos, cantatas and oratorios, chamber music, Lieder, masses, operas and incidental music, overtures, sonatas, string quartets, symphonies, trios, and variations for piano. Such musical greatness originated from a genius of complex psychological makeup. It is the purpose of this paper to explore Beethoven's general biographical background, the psychology of his personality, and a select few of his great public achievements--principally the Eroica symphony, the opera Fidelio, and the Symphony No. 5 in C minor.

Paper Introduction:
This research examines the life and work of David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of the modern state of Israel. The research will set forth the historical and cultural context in which Ben-Gurion emerged and flourished and then discuss contributions he made in shaping his society and directing the course of history, with reference to the judgments of contemporaries and historians.
The fact that David Ben-Gurion is so strongly identified with the creation and early nurturance of the state of Israel must be set beside the fact that Ben-Gurion was not born in that country. Instead, he was born David Gruen in 1886 in a small town in Polish Russia, where pogroms were as commonplace as the contemporaneous rise of Zionist discourse. Ben-Gurion came from a secular (nonobservant) Jewish family steeped in that disco

His role in founding new institutions for America. His concept of American education, and how it differed from the British. His practical approach.
Paper Introduction:
Although Benjamin Franklin spent much of his life trying to earn the favor and patronage of the British rulers of his colonial homeland he may be considered "the first American" for many reasons--one of the most important being that, like his young country, he only began to think of himself as an American when he was already well launched in life. Franklin's career was quite various and he was successful in many different arenas of life--and in all of them his ideas, attitudes, and actions had features that were similar to the combination of virtues and pursuits that Americans would come to recognize as a unique blend that typified citizens of their nation.
Franklin's primary claim to the honor of being called "the first American" is based on the fact that he so often, as Erwin notes, "anticipated mainstream values and specific practices of

Executive Summary
A great body of research exists that suggests that organizations can effect changes, whereas others suggested that organizations tend to are victims of inertia. Bill Gates has been the topic of more research papers than any executive in current history. It can be said that his company Microsoft has helped create the computer age.
In this analysis, the theory of a charismatic leader is applied to Bill Gates. His management style is analyzed within the framework established by leadership theorist Conger who suggests that a charismatic leader is one who has both vision and strategy. Gates himself is quoted from his Playboy interview, as well as concepts and ideas from his 1995 book, The Road Ahead. The analysis concludes with recommendations that would be made to Gates,

Paper Abstract:
Historical background, life & career of 19th Cent. German leader. Nationalism, domestic & foreign policy, diplomacy.
Paper Introduction:
The career of Otto von Bismarck (b.1815, d.1898) - nobleman, count, prince - chancellor, diplomat, self-identified non-statesman - followed a path of such contradictory influences that it is possible to view his actions as both conservative and progressive at the same time. The standard historical judgement is to adopt a perspective of moral superiority in regard to Bismarck's accomplishments. An understandable position: within the Germany he was so instrumental in forging festered the psychology of aggression that led to two World Wars. Yet Bismarck himself warned against such dangers - "Twenty years after my death the great crash will come if things go on as they are going" - his was not a personal philosophy that allowed self-destructive tendencies to grow. Rather, in pursuing a course of "Realpolitik" as opposed to blind ideology, Otto von

Paper Abstract:
Life, career & death of 18th Cent.-19th Cent. French leader.
Paper Introduction:
In 1799, after years of war and domestic problems, Napoleon Bonaparte took over the reigns of government in France. The people of France believed that a strong military leader was what they needed to restore stability and peace to their nation, so even though Napoleon attained his power through a coup, the French people allowed him to rule. Napoleon was an egotistical little warrior, coming from rather crude beginnings, with lofty ideas and ambitions. Seeing himself as ". . . the destined Savior of the French (Lerner 711), he intended to take over the continent of Europe using any means necessary. In many of his campaigns he was relatively successful and in spite of a brief exile to Elba, he retained control of the French military and government until his defeat at Waterloo and his final exile to St. Helena. Had he not died on St. Helena (some say he was

Paper Abstract:
Discusses his military career, strengths & weaknesses as military leader; his background, rise to power, loss of power.
Paper Introduction:
This research paper summarizes the military career of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) and assesses his strengths and shortcomings as a military leader. Napoleon was an authentic military genius the lustre of whose accomplishments during the years (1796-1811) when his Grande Armee triumphed over all its opponents in Continental Europe was somewhat dimmed by his subsequent reverses in Russia and elsewhere during 1812-1815.
Napoleon possessed in abundance the skills of a great military strategist, tactician and commander --including sound professional training, wide-ranging but acute intelligence, extraordinary memory, strength of will and purpose, courage and boldness in taking risks, boundless energy, ruthless ambition and charismatic leadership abilities. As a strategist, he planned and organized his campaigns in order to win decisive

Paper Abstract:
Examines life & her trial for murdering her parents, at which she was aquitted.
Paper Introduction:
Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
So, goes the old verse that immortalized Lizzie Borden as one of history's most notorious murderers, fair or not. For most people, that ends the story. Some also probably know that she won acquittal on all charges, thus becoming in many minds the O.J. Simpson of her time. Indeed, just as the Simpson case involved issues other than murder (such as race), Borden's story provides revealing details about the lives of women in 19th century America. This paper will examine the status of women in America during the previous century by analyzing the life and trial of the infamous Lizzie Borden.

Paper Abstract:
First black woman elected to U.S. Senate. Life & career, 1992 campaign, issues, media coverage.
Paper Introduction:
Whatever else her future accomplishments, Carol Moseley Braun earned her footnote in American history in November 1992 by becoming the first black woman elected to the United States Senate. Half a year earlier, she had earned a smaller reference book mention by becoming the first female African-American nominee for the position, a candidate of the Democratic Party in an election year when post-Persian Gulf War victory euphoria was supposed to have been the harbinger of a Republican Party, President-on-down sweep of the electorate. How she came to achieve this distinction - and how the popular national print media reported the topic - will be the subjects of this commentary.
Born Carol Moseley forty-five years ago, the daughter of a police officer and a medical technician, the future Senator from

Paper Abstract:
Life, career, leadership of author & director of 9 to 5, National Association of Working Women.
Paper Introduction:
Introduction
Ellen Bravo is a published author and executive director of 9 to 5, National Association of Working Women based in Milwaukee. She has dedicated much of her adult life to eliminating sexual harassment on the job, and toward helping define the term "sexual harassment" itself. Bravo is recognized as a leader among working women, but little research has been conducted into her leadership style. This research examines her life and her leadership, and evaluates how others can learn from Bravo's example in this field.
Biographical Background
Born in 1944, Bravo is one of three children raised in the midwest by parents who initially maintained a traditional one income, one full-time homemaker partnership in their marriage. As the children
