Abstract
This paper dissects Israel Zangwill's mystery novel The Big Bow Mystery and analyzes it in terms of other mystery-novel standards: logical consistency, character evenness, and distraction (e.g. "red herrings"). It concludes that although the novel also functions as a critique of Victorian society, the novel itself has great worth as a mystery due to its supreme internal consistency, hard to achieve in the "locked room" subgenre.

Abstract
The paper looks at the film "The Ox-Bow Incident", a 1943 film, and its impressive take on vigilante justice. The paper describes how the film explores the differences between mob justice and the sort of justice found in a court room. The paper looks at why courtroom justice is infinitely preferable to mob justice - even on those occasions when the mob gets it right.

From the Paper
"To begin with, this is a movie that focuses upon the concepts of justice and law - and the differences that "ordinary folk" see between the two. Clearly, the angry mob that hunts down and kills three innocent men is not interested in procedural justice or in the subtleties of courtroom law; instead, they want Old Testament justice to be visited upon those they perceive as being guilty of cattle-rustling and murder. As the revenge-driven Farnley puts it at one point: "I know who's gonna take care of it - me. I tell you now, whoever shot Larry Kincaid ain't comin' back...""

From the Paper
"This study will provide a critical analysis of "The Bow and the Lyre", by Octavio Paz. The book is subtitled "The Poem, The Poetic Revelation, Poetry and History," and it covers those subjects and many more. Its most essential subject, however, is the role which poetry has played and still plays in the lives of human beings. Paz says in his Foreword that he has written this book to try to answer a question: "From the time when I began to write poems, I wondered whether it was worth while to do so" . Of course, Paz does think it was worthwhile to write poetry, but he wants to find out under what circumstances it is worthwhile, and what the relationship is between poetry and politics.

What Paz finds is that true poetry is poetry which has the power to change the world in dramatic and lasting ways. Poetry is ... "

"Introduction


An analysis of a company for purposes of investment or employment should include a number of the same dimensions. A company that would make a good investment is a sound company, one where the employee is likely to find a job continuing for some time. A company that is a good place to work may be a good investment because it retains a strong and satisfied workforce. A comparison of two companies--Pitney Bowes and Sun Microsystems, Inc.--will show how they satisfy those who would invest or those who would seek an entry level management position.

"Introduction
Pitney Bowes is the nation's largest manufacturer of postage meters, a market it helped to create in the 1920s when it persuaded the United States Postal Service that meters could be an effective method for the post office to receive payment for mail. In the intervening years, companies came to depend on the reliability and convenience of using postage meters, and Pitney Bowes took full advantage of the market it created by becoming the premier provider of postage meters. Today, the postal service and Pitney Bowes are facing competition from sources which did not even exist 20 years ago (the Internet) or which were in their infancy (facsimile machines). Pitney Bowes has survived previous technological innovations, such as Telex machines, but the challenges it faces today could pose more serious threats. This .."

Abstract
The paper considers the steps that the Victory Hotel, University of Alabama and Pitney Bowes are taking to protect their data security.

From the Paper
"The Victory Hotel in Dallas has set up virtual local area networks (VLANs) to prevent guests from gaining access to the hotel's main computer system. This provides guests with the much-needed access to wireless networks, but protects the integrity of the hotel's own data. Similar approaches can be used by other businesses where the public might have reason to use a network, but where the company's own data could be at risk."

Abstract
The paper relates that the perception that many people today have of the Indian Mughals is that of a sad-sack collection of displaced elites who bowed down to their British superiors from the late-eighteenth century onwards because they had no choice but to do so. The paper discusses how for the most part, this actually appears to be the case - though the Mughals were probably more defiant during the colonial period than most people today acknowledge. The paper notes that if you take the time to study the correspondences of the early British visitors to India, you will uncover another image of the Mughals - that of a proud and even pompous ruling elite that was not about to defer to the British simply because they were white or an aspiring imperial power.

Abstract
This paper discusses how beings seek a greater power to give their lives meaning and purpose and looks at the theology behind the need to make such a connection with God. It shows how, at this point, Mary Daly's feminist theology parts ways from R. Neibuhr's radical monotheism teachings. It explores how Daly has constructed an image of that which is holy in her own image and bowed down to her own idol, while Neibuhr has attempted to clear the entrance to the path of discovering that which is holy outside our own existence, a God in the heavens and, ultimately, a God who came to earth in the form of a man. It examines the wholly uninspiring teachings of Daly and how she draws her definition of a Holy God and then compares her self-centric ideas to the theo-centric writings of Neibuhr.

From the Paper
"Daly's approach to finding that which is holy is self-centric. Her needs, her ideas, and her interpretation of her experiences limit her ability to seek a loving God outside of her own experiences. It has been said that we become that which we spend the most time thinking about. That which we focus our attention on is the power that has the strongest pull in our life. Daly is still exerting a huge amount of her mental and emotional resources trying to defeat the Roman Catholic churches ideas of women's subjugative roles. Her bitterness is blinding her to the reality of a god who looks beyond sex, and sees a valuable and important person in each one of his human creations."

Abstract
This paper tries to understand the phenomena why so many Americans have such animosity to the French. It looks at the common history that the two nations share, the similarities and also their differences and asks where the root of this animosity started.

From the paper:

"France is a member of the European community and French is spoken all over the world, from Europe to North America to Africa. Yet why are there so many jokes about, and so much animosity towards the French? Some of the problems Americans have with the French perhaps stem from the fact that the French seem fairly similar to us on the surface in appearance and prosperity, yet act so differently. For instance, many English words have French roots due to the Norman invasion of our parent country of England in 1066. (Let's Go 59) Yet the French, even in contrast to other European countries, have always gone "their own way," perhaps most famously Charles DeGaulle's bowing out of NATO during the formation of that organization after World War II."
