Abstract
Used, abused, and confused by the grinding, unforgiving machinery of celebrity, the aging TV child actor, from Ricky Nelson to Brandon Cruz, from Patty Duke to Dana Plato, has always been more susceptible to the "crash-and-burn" than your average, not-so-cute-and-cuddly-anymore youngster. But what about Gary Coleman? What is he supposed to do? Disappear? And there it is: The Gary Coleman Paradox, the Former Child Star Dilemma. When their time is up, when their shows are canceled, we want them to go away. But they can't. Reruns assure otherwise; our TV-burned memories assure otherwise. We don't need to see another second of another "Diff'rent Strokes" to know that Gary Coleman is pint-size Arnold Jackson Drummond from Harlem. Now and forever. He can't go away. They can't go away. And, for that, we make them pay. If it was impossible for the TV kids of the 1950s and '60s to know the traps that lay ahead, it was impossible for the TV kids who followed them not to know.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the murder novel "Secret Sanction" by Brian Haig. Specifically, it analyzes the beginning, middle and the end of the microcosm of the novel and discusses the way the microcosm ends. The author of the paper also discusses why the book's ending was a disappointment.

From the Paper
"Haig uses microcosm as a compelling and worthwhile tool is his first novel, "Secret Sanction." The beginning microcosm sets the stage for what is to come, and gives some background on the book's protagonist, Sean Drummond. He is a lawyer for JAG, the Army Judge Advocate General. In the beginning, Drummond receives "orders" from General Partridge, "Don't be naive and think there's any way you can win. Got my drift?" (Haig 11). Therefore, from the beginning the reader knows there is something not right here, and no matter what Drummond discovers about the raid and massacre in Bosnia, he cannot win the final trial, or if he does, he will suffer."

Abstract
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed houses which were known as "Prairie School" because of their distinct style. This paper traces the history and the reason why this form of architecture came about, and how it was a reflection of a developing American trend of modernism.

From the Paper
"One of the most striking things about Wright's houses is their lack of porches. They sink gracefully and beautifully into the ground - and how can we fault them for this? - but they also turn their backs on their neighbors. These are houses into which individual families can shut themselves away - the first sign in at least a psychological sense of the suburbanization of America."
