Abstract This paper analyzes AlanGreenspan's address to the Federal Reserve in February 2004, using an article from the Wall Street Journal as the sole source. It examines the impact of Greenspan's remarks on the stock market.
From the Paper "Alan Greenspan is chairman of the Federal Reserve the organization that serves the role of a central bank in the United States.The Fed as it is known is responsible for changing the interest rates ..."
Abstract This research paper is about the Congressional testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman AlanGreenspan on July 16, 2001. The paper mainly discusses the importance of the rate of interest to the entire economy and to the market, respectively. Although, in his testimony, Mr. Greenspan left the rates unchanged, there is discussion of what interest the financial market players had in having a new cut rate.
From the Paper "The Congressional testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on July 16, 2002 proves how consequential interest rates are. In fact, control of interest rates is Federal Reserve's main device for encouraging economic expansion and deterring the slumps in the economy. In this instance, despite the stock and bond market players? disappointment at the interest rates remaining unchanged in the short-run, the Chairman decided that rates would not be cut in the then near future even though it may have helped markets to cut rates. It should be noted, however, that Mr. Greenspan was basing his decision to not cut rates at the time for the benefit of the entire economy ("Wall Street Journal")."
Abstract This paper examines the personal attributes that have made AlanGreenspan successful in his career and respected and well-liked by his peers. The paper points to Greenspan's vast knowledge of economics, his ability to handle and investigate details, his ease and interest in working with people, and his commitment to a free market economy as elements responsible for his successful career.
From the Paper "Born in New York the only child of a Wall Street broker, Greenspan developed the traditional aspects of a first and only born child. He has a strong personality, and is not afraid to step into the gap when policy decisions have to be made. He can joke with reporters at high-level Washington dinners, and learn new sports in order to have access to the Washington power circles. Greenspan is not hesitant to set the lead, yet he does not take himself too seriously."
Abstract This paper discusses how AlanGreenspan, Jim Clark, and John Meriwether possess abilities unfathomable to normal men ,and even men in their respective fields in both the public and private sectors. AlanGreenspan is chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Jim Clark is the founder of Silicon Graphics, Netscape, and what is now Heatheon/WebMD, and John Meriwether is the founder of Long Term Capital Management. It looks at how their power and positions reflect their ability to lead and control and how their capability to manipulate and manage their workers or co-workers allowed for them to be able to shift the focus to their personal agendas. It shows how, by installing senses of family and loyalty in their work force, all these men gained the respect of those around them. By being the leaders that they are, they are able to forever change the world we live in.
From the Paper "Jim Clark was a leader like Greenspan in the sense he was able to get people to do what he wanted, but Clark led through innovation and excitement where as Greenspan lead through knowledge and leverage. Among current day business figures, few inspire more devotion and dedication from their followers than Clark. All he has to do is announce a new idea and the talent, as well as the money arrives immediately. Jim Clark, founder of Silicon Graphics, Netscape and what is now Heatheon/WebMD, has an ability to express groundbreaking ideas in a way that attracts both start-up capital and technical expertise. Yet the actual execution of these "New New" ideas, the routine tasks of creating a company, getting and paying employees, etc. have generally been left to others."
Abstract An analysis of Federal Reserve Board Chairman AlanGreenspan's warnings about inflation in the year 2000, with an emphasis on the effects of energy prices, stock market values, and consumer spending.
From the Paper "Priming investors for interest-rate increases, Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, warned Congress recently that the central bank would seek to ensure that Americans did not try to buy more goods and services than their economy could comfortably produce."
Abstract This paper discusses the recent testimony of AlanGreenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the annual report to Congress by the Federal Reserve. This paper examines the current state of the economy as well as the Federal Reserve handling of monetary and fiscal policy relative to the economy. Of particular importance is the Federal Reserves strategic shift in policy from accommodative to appropriate.
From the Paper "The Federal Reserve, as represented by Alan Greenspan, in recent testimony before Congress believes the state of the economy is, overall, very positive. Mr. Greenspan, among other factors, listed employment numbers, retail spending and business investment as reasons to believe the economy is trending stronger (Testimony, 2005, para.5). Mr. Greenspan also alluded to the character of the US housing market as a leading generator of the nation's wealth at the moment but cautioned the current "froth" in the residential home market is a potential threat to the economy (Testimony, 2005, para.42). In sum the Federal Reserve is very upbeat about the state of the economy but has considerable reservations concerning the threat of inflation led by rising oil and gas prices: A flattening out of the prices of crude oil and natural gas...would also lessen upward pressures on inflation."

What's Ahead For the Fed
From the Paper "The Fed controls finances in the United States and abroad in a number of complex ways from interest rates to the global banking industry. In fact, its name stems from the fact that member banks must keep some of their deposits in "reserve" to ensure fiscal health, and this reserve is often held by the Federal Reserve Banks across the nation. Banks who do not keep enough reserves face stiff penalties from the System (Martin 159). This is just one area where the Fed exerts its vast powers over the nation's banks, and ultimately the nation's economic health and well being."
Abstract This paper considers the role of the Federal Reserve in the U.S. economy. The paper discusses Chairman AlanGreenspan, his predecessor and successor, the mechanics of how the Federal Reserve conducts monetary policy,the Federal Reserve's fiscal policy and the direction of recent policy.

The Fed conducts monetary policy by setting the rates that member banks charge each other..."

Abstract This paper looks at the way Alan Lightman's novel, "Einstein' Dreams", handles Einstein's theory of the relativity of time, mainly the "elasticity" of time. The paper discusses this in terms of how it relates to adult cognitive development.
From the Paper "Alan Lightman's book "Einstein's Dreams" is a novel that plays with Einstein's theory of the relativity of time. There is a proverb that says "a watched pot never boils". It requires some level of cognitive development to understand this proverb. It does not mean that the water in the pot will never boil. Depending on the level of heat applied to the pot, the water could boil in as quick a time as three minutes. However, for someone who stands over the pot and ..."

Abstract This paper explains that Mayer chronicles the history of the Federal Reserve, from its charter in 1913, through the events of the Great Depression, intervening decades of boom and bust, to today's role of market overseer; however, despite the higher than ever profile of the Fed, Mayer makes the point that much of this power is illusory. The author points out that the idea of the central bank as a significant regulator of the economy had its ascendancy in the middle of the 20th century, not only in the United States, but also around the world. The paper comments that, in this era of omnipresent media and twenty-four hour business television, it is AlanGreenspan who has become the face of the Federal Reserve for most of us.
From the Paper "Mayer begins his examination of the Federal Reserve with these events of October, 1998, when the economy was threatened by a worldwide liquidity crisis. Bankers and finance ministers converged on Washington for a meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. On the table was the issue of the Asian financial crisis and its impact on certain nations' ability to service their debt. Highly leveraged hedge funds were in danger of collapsing due to their high debt levels. Bankers at the Washington meeting were encouraged to increase lending rates to stave off a serious market downturn."
Abstract This paper explains that Alan Schneider, who was an award winning director, innovator, teacher and mentor, was a major influence in academic commercial, local, regional and amateur theater. The author points out Schneider joined the Arena Stage in Washington D. C. during its formative years in the late 1940s, directed such works as "The Glass Menagerie" in 1951, which propelled the playwright Tennessee Williams into international prominence; the two men became close life-long friends. The paper states that the greatest insight into how Alan Schneider's style of directing can be found in the University of California, San Diego, collection of his papers entitled "Series 3, Production Materials"; the paper lists briefly some of its contents, which give an indication into his directing style for plays fro 1941 to 1979.

Conclusions
From the Paper "In 1963 Alan Schneider received the Antoinette Perry (Better known as the "Tony") Award for his excellence of direction of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Likewise he's won the Village Voice Off-Broadway (OBIE) Award for his direction of "The Dumbwaiter" and "The Collection." Plus in Washington D. C., the Board of Trade Award "for outstanding contribution to professional Community Theater in the nation's capital and production director of Arena Stage." However Alan Schneider, always a restless and busy person, was never one to rest much, or even dwell long on his laurels. His delight came in helping others attain their goals and aspirations particularly the youth of not only the United States but throughout Europe and England."
Abstract Discusses the issue of racial segregation in the short story "A Drink in the Passage" by Alan Paton. The author discusses the characters and events of the story and reveals how Alan Paton uses the attempts of the characters to personally connect and to break through racial barriers to illustrate a turning point in the society where racial segregation collapses.
From the Paper "Although it may not be obvious, racial segregation has always affected our lives in one way or another. While some people deliberately make decisions or judgments based on race, many more of us are influenced subconsciously by race, due largely to the society in which we live. In the short story ?A Drink in the Passage,? set in South Africa, author Alan Paton tells of a black sculptor, Simelane, who is responsible for the creation of an award-winning piece. As Simelane looks at the piece late one night while it is on display in a bookstore window, he is joined by a young white man, van Rensburg, who strikes up a conversation with him. An underlying issue in their discussion is the segregation of their two races. Two caring individuals who try to personally connect with each other attempt to break through the racial barrier that they have been brought up to live by. Paton highlights the men's attempts to connect by his use of italics. He also uses both Simelane's winning the award and the events of the story to illustrate a turning point in South African society."
Abstract This paper explores the political motives of Republican Alan Keyes during the 2000 Presidential Campaign. It charts his political career and investigates his moral and ethical stances on issues such as abortion, law and order.
From the Paper "The issues making up Keyes? nomination platform are supported entirely by his right-wing religious views, which is probably why he has never obtained the lion's share of the primary votes. Yet he has not only remained in the race when others, such as Steve Forbes and more recently John McCain, have thrown in the towel but he has refused to budge from his rigidly moral platform. Whilst the other candidates, who are extremely close on policy issues, shift stance and either increase or decrease their "conservativeness" depending on which State they were in, Keyes never departs from his extreme right wing religious viewpoint. So why does Keyes stay in the race when he must realize that the chances of his becoming President of the USA are virtually nil? The answer has to be that, for Keyes, this is a moral crusade rather than just a mere campaign."
