Abstract
The paper describes Charles Lindbergh's background and focuses on his eventual solo flight from the U.S. to France that required advanced aviation engineering, experienced piloting skill, and great deal of luck. The paper describes how Lindbergh's amazing flying feat established him as an individual hero upon whom the media thrived. The paper then explains how Lindbergh's great success in the still new field of aviation shaped the future of the United States by transforming its relations with European countries and shrinking the world by the ease of international communication and travel. The paper emphasizes how Charles Lindbergh's flight overcame the isolationist sentiment that was prevalent at that time in the U.S.

From the Paper
"Disgusted with the death and brutality of the First World War (1914-1918), the United States abruptly averted its gaze away from the desolate conditions in Europe to consume all energy on internal affairs. This desperate attempt to forget the destruction brought forth by the war was represented in the rising isolationist and anti-foreign sentiment present in the states throughout the 1920's. It was in this social milieu that the flight of Charles Lindbergh was heard across America and the world on the large radio broadcasting stations that had recently sprung up after the war. Not only heard, Charles Lindbergh's adventures were also witnessed by the American public through the rapid exponentiation of the filmmaking industry."

Abstract
On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., baby of the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped. The paper examines whether Bruno Richard Hauptmann did actually kidnap the Lindbergh baby and, if not, who did? The paper discusses some reasons why he might not have kidnapped him. These include the lack of sufficient evidence to prove him guilty and the anti-German sentiments during this time in history.

From the Paper
"The nation, along with the world, was shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news. Many wondered why someone would take the Lindbergh's baby and wanted to find the kidnapper and see him put to justice. On September 19, 1934, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested after supposedly using part of the ransom money to make a purchase at a gas station. After six weeks in trial for what was later known as "The Crime of the Century," on February 14, 1935, Hauptmann was found guilty and sentenced to death (Linder, "The Hauptmann"). Today, many people believe, as did many at the time of his execution, that he was innocent. Hauptmann was offered life imprisonment if he would confess to the crime, but he claimed he was innocent, even until he was executed ("The Lindbergh Intrigue"). Some people say only an innocent man would not confess to save his life ("The Lindbergh Case Intrigue"). Careless police work carried out on the scene of the crime caused the loss of what could have been significant evidence. Because of the loss of this evidence there is no way to lawfully sentence a suspect without having some feeling of xenophobia in the court. Therefore, Hauptmann was found guilty more because of anti-German sentiments in the interwar period than for legitimate standard of proof even when circumstantial evidence abounded in the court's decision."

Abstract
The kidnapping of the son of Charles Lindbergh in 1932 was immediately labeled the Crime of the Century, and the investigation and subsequent court case occupied the headlines for some time. This paper shows that, indeed, this case was one of the first of the true media events of the century, and much of the media attention might today be seen as damaging. The paper shows that Bruno Hauptmann was tried and executed for the crime, but some see him as having been tried first in the press, one of the reasons some doubts have emerged about his real culpability in recent years.

From the Paper
"The media circus surrounding the Hauptmann trial contributed to the view of many that the trial was unfair, which has also raised questions about whether Hauptmann was guilty or not. Even some people at the time thought that Hauptmann was innocent, and more have agreed with this assessment since. Critics of the outcome note that the case was largely circumstantial, that no one saw Hauptmann at the house or with the baby at any time."

Abstract
The next few pages will discuss the life and triumphs of Charles Dickens, one of the modern age's most beloved novelists. The paper will detail the strengths of Dickens' work, his early life, the unusual wisdom and sagacity of his writing, his dramatic rise to prominence in the 1830s when he was not much older than most university students are today, and his lengthy series of critical and (especially) commercial successes. Finally, the paper highlights how (arguably) Dickens' greatest literary masterpieces came in the late 1850s and early 1860s when his characteristic vigor was coupled with tremendous insight and a certain sadness. In the end, anyone who wants to understand nineteenth century literature in Great Britain needs to read Charles Dickens.

Abstract
This is a write-up of a chemistry laboratory experiment looking at Charles' Law, which states that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional to each other. The paper describes two experiments: (1) a gas is heated and its temperature and volume change noted and compared; and (2) a candle is burned in an inverted test tube set in a pan of water. The paper describes that as the oxygen in the tube is used up, water rises in the tube, and when there is no more oxygen left the flame is extinguished.

Abstract
The English and the Dutch fought three wars in the seventeenth century of which the first two were about trade and the third about King Charles II and his attempts to gain power. This essay outlines these wars and the impact they had on the trade, politics and religion of Europe at that time. It also allows us to understand better the motives and drive behind the English king engaging in various treaties, alliances and of course battle. Great detail is paid to historical fact.

From the Paper
"The Dutch naval wars have been viewed as having lesser historical importance than many other events of the same time period, such as the English civil wars and the restoration of Charles II. However, these wars had a great impact on the trade, politics and religion of seventeenth century Europe. Three wars were fought between England and the Dutch Republic, the first two about trade. The third war, on which focus has been aimed, dealt with the monarch of England, Charles II, and his attempts to gain power. The third Dutch naval war failed to enhance Charles II's power because the war went badly and caused the treaty of Dover to backfire."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the book "The Plot Against America", by Philip Roth, a novel set during the World War II period. The paper shows how Roth captures the fear, the anxiety and the sentiments of the Jewish community in this heartening novel. The paper explains how Roth gives vent to his imagination and explores the development of a new political scenario in the US: the coming to power of Charles Lindbergh, an aviation expert and an icon among the American public, who also happens to be a staunch supporter of the Nazis. The paper gives a brief overview of the novel and goes through each of the chapters to see how Roth builds and unfolds the tension of his imaginative, historical exploration.

From the Paper
"The fears come true when Roth and his family go on a tour to Washington DC in 1941. That the president himself has set a bad example is enough reason to justify the fears of Roth's father. (Herman) The first hint of discrimination is obvious at the 'Douglas hotel' where the author's family had booked a room. Under circumstances, which are inexplicable, Herman and his family are asked to vacate the room even though they had booked the room in advance and even occupied it. The cops who arrive on the scene are also unfriendly indicating that the entire political and legal system might be working against the Jews. As Herman says 'Why, now they think they can get away with anything. It's disgraceful, it starts with the white house..' [Philip Roth , 78]"
