[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Ann Banks' "First Person America" and John Ford's "Stagecoach" individually represent a changing class-consciousness related to modifying economic and social conditions of the 1930s. Indeed, it can readily be argued that imaginative texts do not directly document such experiences of the 1930s, but rather they indirectly represent conflicts, tensions, changing values and the ever shifting conditions of the particular setting.

Barry M. Goldwater
[ send me this paper ]
( 9 pp.) What makes a conservative? Parents? Upbringing? Past experiences, Or the ability to put all of those things together, be aware of history, and come to some personal conclusions? In the case of Arizona Senator and basic maverick, Barry M. Goldwater (1909 - 1998), we would have to say all of the above. In his personal and political memoirs, With No Apologies, published in 1979, Mr. Goldwater observed that his run for the presidency in 1964"was like trying to stand up in a hammock." He said he knew that his chances of winning were slim and contended, that his fellow Republicans cost him any chance he might have had during the battle for the Republican nomination. And in our description above did we mention, Goldwater as a facilitator of tact? Bibliography lists 7 sources - 1 visual. BBgldwtr.doc

Billy Sunday, in one of his numerous sermons about alcohol being "God's Worst Enemy" preached that, although some argued personal liberty was at stake, in reality personal liberty simply meant that a man could "stand up at the bar and fill his hide so full of red liquor that he is transformed for the time being into an irresponsible, dangerous, evil-smelling brute." Rogers, on the other hand, predicted that "if it was repealed tomorrow, the lives and habits and morals of the whole country wouldn't be ruined."
