"This research examines allegations in 1994 against Hillary Rodham Clinton with respect to possible improper or illegal commodities futures trading conducted in 1978. The research will set forth the context in which these allegations were made and then provide a review of the accusations against her, the responses of President and Mrs. Clinton to the accusations, and how third-party legal, business, and political commentators viewed the accuracy and seriousness of the allegations.
In the spring of 1994, at the time that a special prosecutor, Robert Fiske, had been selected to head the so-called Whitewater investigation into a real estate project in Arkansas in the mid-1970s, The New York Times published an account of first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's 100-to-1 profit on an investment in cattle futures on the commodities market ..."

Abstract
After reading the "Apology" and the "Crito," it appears that Socrates may be somewhat of a hypocrite. However, if one looks closely, this is not the case at all. This paper argues that Socrates does not contradict himself in these two works. Although, as the paper shows, the two texts do seem contradictory at first glance, a deeper look explains that, ultimately, Socrates insists that one should never betray what he believes is just. This is what the gods believe, he argues, and the beliefs of the gods should have precedence over laws. However, since the gods placed him in a situation where he was in the hands of the law, he willingly accepted his fate.
From the Paper
"While it seems that Socrates goes against his original stance in the Crito, he actually remains true to his original argument. Socrates believed that it would be unjust for him to escape, even though he has been convicted wrongly on the ignorant verdict of the majority. He believes that his escape would be unjust because he would be doing an injustice against the state of Athens and its laws, making an exception of himself, if he were to escape his lawful killing, however unjust in itself. He has been condemned to death under the Laws of the State into which he was born and in which he has lived his entire life, and whose laws he promised to obey."

Abstract
This paper analyzes a case study of a mother and her young daughter who presented themselves for treatment, initially as a result of the daughter's alleged sexual abuse by the mother's boyfriend. It discusses how even though the daughter is the primary patient, her relationship to the larger system of which she is a part, is relevant to the case and to the course of treatment. Using Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological model, it examines the context of the child's case, the extent to which she is at risk for future problems, the suggested course of treatment and the additional information needed to treat her and her mother effectively. It shows together with a literature review, how the case offers an interesting example of many of the kinds of issues and questions faced by professionals dealing with child guidance psycho-pathologies and family contexts.
From the Paper
"Surrounding the mesosystem is the exosystem, the wider settings which define Carrie's life, and the macrosystem, the cultural mores that influence how she and those around her are expected to behave. Through his abuse, Jim violated those expected behaviors, and Joanna's initial refusal to believe her daughter also disengaged the little girl from the protections that the larger society is supposed to provide to the individual. However, the legal system, which is usually part of the next level in, the exosystem, has intruded into a closer circle of Carrie's life and is attempting to rectify the personal violations of those close to her. This has caused an ecological transition (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), a situation in which "a person's position in the ecological environment is altered as the result of a change in role, setting, or both" (p. 26). Although traumatic for both Carrie and her mother, this ecological transition should prove to be an important, positive step in the development of both individuals."

From the Paper
"I understand why the families of the children in the suburban schools outside the city of Detroit felt like they did nothing wrong and should therefore not be sent to schools in Detroit. At this time in history I believe that whites felt secure inside the suburbs and did not want to interact with the African American community. I believe that this type of feeling needs to be deemed unacceptable because after the Brown v. Board of Education decision, the people needed to realize that racial desegregation is indeed moving in a positive direction and they should join in on it. I think the white people may have been afraid of the African American community but without them ever coming together there would be no way that they would ever realize there is really nothing to be afraid of."

Abstract
This paper is an oral presentation of the findings of an independent auditor of the HealthSouth Corporation. The audit concerns a 300-million-dollar refund HealthSouth is seeking from the federal government on the over-inflated profits it reported on its assets. The auditor asserts that no indications of Medicare fraud were found and that the over-inflated profits reported by the company were a result of HealthSound projecting assets not truly expected to incur, as well as a refusal to take into consideration the costs of the company (reporting only money accrued, rather than actual profits. This, in turn, was facilitated by the bureaucratic nature of the medical industry, where reporting of costs, payment of bills, and administrative costs are often delayed because of the nature of health care providers. The paper concludes by stating that HealthSound has not been negatively impacted by the allegations of securities fraud and that it is, and will continue to be, a sound company because of the quality its product.
From the Paper
"As a part of this presentation, I, as an independent auditor commissioned by the committee of the firm representing the HealthSouth Corporation, wish to make clear that the company I have just audited, though tarred and feathered by the modern media, is not nearly at fault as one might initially believe, given the nature of the following components peculiar to the health services and health care industry. Although HealthSouth's supposed irregularities may have been elided in the public imagination with corporations such as Enron, it is not an "imaginary corporation." Mistakes were made, but these mistakes should not cause individuals to forget the ongoing quality of care still provided by the company."

Abstract
The paper reviews and analyzes four articles for their relevancy and relationship to Tokyo Rose and her eventual arrest and trial. The paper examines how Siemaszko argues in favor of Iva Toguri D'Aquino's innocence as the alleged "Tokyo Rose" and participation in treason activities, while Hayes provides only a passing reference to Tokyo Rose with no reference to the woman's identity. The paper shows how in Davies' and Horne's articles there are fact-based, unbiased presentations of "Tokyo Rose," the allegations against D'Aquino, and the trial that spawned additional and ongoing controversy. The paper selects Davies' article as the most non-biased, reporting only the facts as available during the onset and period of the trial. The paper includes a copy of Hayes' article as an appendix to the paper.
From the Paper
"News of Tokyo Rose continues to fill media outlet's headlines decades after the controversy. In fact, a recent article published by the New York Daily News (Siemaszko: July 3, 2006) asserts that at the age of 90, the alleged Tokyo Rose, Iva Toguri is still "imprisoned by a myth." In spite of being pardoned by President Gerald Ford and being "embraced" by U.S. veterans groups, Toguri continues to experience the "shame and stigma" of the alleged actions of treason. Toguri does not like publicity and declined a personal interview by Siemaszko."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Douglas Rushkoff, author of "Coercion", claims that marketing techniques are infringements on consumers' liberty. It also discusses how, in comparison, John Stuart Mill's principle in his work "On Liberty", shows us marketing techniques in a more positive light and how more often than not, they do not infringe on our liberty of choice. The paper discusses the various reasons why we are not subject to coercion when we shop.
From the Paper
" The difference between watching an advertisement and listening to propaganda or abiding by societal influences, is that your livelihood is affected in both the latter situations. You would not lose friends, or your job, or even your life, when you block out marketing techniques. But the same might not be true when it comes to government or societies trying to persuade you. Many a times, these influences affect your livelihood, and you are forced to allow them to influence you. Many listen to political rallies because they are worried that they would vote for the wrong party, resulting in loss of benefits or bad government (i.e. the 'harm' in the principle). "

Abstract
This paper explains that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) chose General Motors, the world's largest automaker, as its target candidate because it would have the largest impact on moving the civil rights agenda forward. The author points out that the EEOC alleged that General Motors actively discriminated against black, Hispanic, and women workers. The paper states that, 20 years after the GMEEOC agreement and 40 years after civil rights legislation has been signed into law, there still is a problem in the work environment at General Motors

From the Paper
"Because the injustices of discrimination did not end with the passage of laws, organizations such as the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) were created. The NAACP was one of the most significant of these organizations, and was led by chief legislator Thurgood Marshall. During his years spent with the NAACP, Thurgood developed a unique strategy to combat racial segregation throughout the United States. Without Thurgood breaking new legal ground, the Civil Rights Movement would not have gotten off the ground with the power and unified force with which is was eventually able to direct in the direction of General Motors. Marshall believed that the only way for change to occur was by altering the laws, and Thurgood Marshal was the first Civil Rights leader willing to use the law as means of change."

Abstract
This paper reviews the facts of this extra-terrestrial citing in this New Mexican city with an emphasis on a review of the crash.
From the Paper
"Also, the UFO Museum of Research, along with many other sources, says a farmer named Mac Brazel was the first person to see evidence of the controversial UFO crash. He was riding out on his horse to round up some stray sheep when he noticed some metal debris scattered over a large area. As Brazel looked closer, he noticed a trench hundreds of feet long had been dug into the land. The first thing he did was drag a large piece of metal from the trench to a shed near his house. Brazel wanted to show the metal piece to his neighbors. The neighbors had no idea what it was, so they immediately notified the police. The police went straight to the Central Intelligence Agency, where Major Jesse Marcel and his troops cleaned the debris from the site of the wreck. The cleanup alone took about three days (Roswell, n.p.)."
