Abstract The paper looks at the book "Life on the Outside: The Odyssey of Elaine Bartlett" that discusses the issue of the Rockefeller Drug Laws and the return of incarcerated people into society. The book is the true story of Elaine Bartlett, a woman who spent 16 years in prison for a one-time offense involving drugs. The paper describes how her story reflects the story of millions of American prisoners that will return to society over the next decade without any guide of how to begin their lives.
From the Paper "The book allows citizens and legislators to realize that these two issues must be addressed with haste, or the effects of the current processes will be severely detrimental to the social order. Elaine Bartlett was convicted in the New York courts for carrying four ounces of cocaine. An undocumented worker in a beauty parlor, she was supporting four children and living in public housing."
Abstract This paper examines the results of a factor analysis conducted on Richardson's short version of the ASQ with data obtained from 187 university students. This paper defines factor analysis and describes each step in the factor analysis process, giving a clear explanation for each decision made.

Conclusion
From the Paper "Richardson (1990) developed a short version of the ASQ in an attempt to examine the reliability and replicability of this version, which contained eight subscales of meaning orientation and reproducing orientation. Richardson concluded that this new questionnaire can be used in examining meaning orientation and reproducing orientation in research on student learning, with a factor analysis successfully retrieving these two primary approaches to learning. Richardson did warn however that the validity of the constituent subscales was still rather unclear."
Abstract 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).

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 ..."
From the Paper " America: What Went Wrong?
In their book, America: What Went Wrong?, Donald Bartlett and James Steele relate how several laws and business practices have increased the wealth of corporations and their major shareholders at the expense of middle-class Americans. Bartlett and Steele blame much of America's problems on the "government rule-book, the laws and regulations enacted by Congress and the various executive departments and agencies. Most corporate abuses have been either the result of income tax rules concerning corporate losses and interest paid on debts or the rules allowing companies to raid their pension funds for cash. Other abuses involve the deregulation of industries and rules concerning bankruptcy and foreign competition.

From the Paper " This study will compare and contrast the young protagonists in Neil Bartlett's Ready to Catch Him Should He Fall and Edmund White's A Boy's Own Story. The study will consider the growth of the two characters, the realism of their experiences, and the roles their lovers play in their growth.
The process of growth portrayed in White's book is far more sophisticated, profound and realistic than that portrayed in Bartlett's book. This is due to the greater sophistication of the writing in White, to the fact that the protagonist in White is himself a more profound thinker and observer of psychological and emotional states and details, and because in White we are allowed to see more of the internal workings of the protagonist through the first-person perspective. Bartlett's story is by far the more romantic of the two stories. To fairly assess the two.."
Abstract While stories of organized crime most often dwell on groups like the Mafia and Chinese Triad or Tongs, African-Americans also have a long history of organized crime. This paper examines what a history of these criminal networks teach us about the social, political, and economic challenges that face African-Americans today. It shows what is specific to African-American organized crime and how these networks differ from the criminal organizations of other racial and ethnic groups. The paper covers, amongst others, the game of Bolito, Harlem policy banks, Casper Holstein, Roland "Pops" Bartlett, Queenie and drug involvement.
From the Paper "Historically, many ardent supporters of illegal numbers gambling were in the African-American community. Over the decades, the illegal lotteries and numbers games were actually controlled by the La Cosa Nostra (LCN), and black operatives worked within the framework established by them. Today, that control has begun to diminish in some areas of New Jersey. In Camden County, for instance, one such African-American numbers group has been operating independently for several years under the control of Leonard A. Jones. This group also conducts its illegal gambling in parts of Gloucester and Burlington Counties and is estimated to net nearly $1 million dollars per year."
