From the Paper
"When Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Martin Siegel and Dennis Levine were arrested and prosecuted, the media and the public perceived the issue to be the esoteric insider trading. The various defendants were charged with crimes that most Americans did not understand, shrouded as they were in the area of high finance, hostile takeovers, junk bonds and mergers and acquisitions. The public did understand the level of some of the fines imposed on the defendants, fines which reached into the hundreds of millions of dollars, but the actual charges were never fully explained or comprehended by the public at large. James B. Stewart, an editor for the Wall Street Journal, examines the insider trading scandal and exposes a series of events that hinged not merely on insider trading, but which paint a picture of greed and predatory tactics unmatched in the history of the,,,"

Abstract
This paper considers two questions relating to the 1902 book by William James, "The Varieties of Religious Experience." In the first part, the paper considers what James believed of the Supreme Being, finding that he believed in a remarkably pluralistic system, in which the God of the Stoics was as good as the Christian God. The second part of the paper considers James' views of what was the highest good.

From the Paper
"What is William James' understanding of the Supreme Being? In his book "The Varieties of Religious Experience", William James tried to present a theory that would bind the various religious experiences together. In the process of doing so, he articulated a view of religion that drew heavily from the American transcendental movement. As Eugene Taylor articulates in his introductory essay the centenary edition of "James' Varieties of Religious Experience", James thoughts on religion begin with Emerson and the beginning of transcendentalism in America. Drawing on the transcendentalist perspective, James concluded that "God, or whatever...""

Abstract
This paper has analyzed the supernatural elements of the Gothic genre that appears in "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving and The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. By defining the role of ghosts and otherworldly figures in the Gothic genre, they provide a metaphysical altercation of reality in the writings of James and Irving that are Gothic in their style. While James relies on ghosts as a symbolic gesture to the supernatural, Irving relies on a otherworldly "stranger" that provides he link between Rip's own world and the future world that he must awaken to.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the tendencies of Henry James in his writings. "The Beast in The Jungle", "The Jolly Corner", and "The Portrait of a Lady" are three of James' works that are examined in detail. In particular, this paper focuses on the protagonists of each of the writings respectively. A strong comparison is made between the three protagonists of these writings, and their miserable lives. On the other hand, the protagonist of James' story "The Tragic Muse" is shown to lead a life of happiness and success. The paper notes the clear differences between this story and the others, therefore explaining what leads the character on a different path.

From the Paper
"In contrast, Portrait of a Lady presents Ralph as an invalid who lives vicariously through a woman named Isabel Archer whom he leads to doom. He bestows upon her a large sum of money, despite his father's warning that fortune hunters will target her for it. Ralph replies, "That's a risk, and it has entered into my calculation...I'm prepared to take it" (p. 161). Ralph is financially generous to Isabel not out of love but out of a morbid fascination. He wants to see what she will do with it. When Isabel marries a gold-digger, she fulfills the victim role that Ralph's father had feared. Ralph's fascination with Isabel's life overcomes any concern he might have had for her welfare."

Abstract
This paper gives an historical analysis of James Madison and his Presidency, focusing on his commitment to the separation of church and state. This commitment influenced the decisions he made and the political ideology that he upheld. The paper traces Madison's political career and its interconnection with the birth of the US. Madison's famous treatise on separation of church and state entitled "The Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments," is analyzed. The paper concludes by reinforcing James Madison's commitment to the separation of church and state and the protection of individual liberty.

From the Paper
" From the early days of the development of the British colonies into an independent nation, Madison was involved. As a student of history, government, and law, he took part in framing the Virginia Constitution in 1776 and held membership in the Virginia Assembly ("James Madison"). Madison served in the Continental Congress and engaged in frequent debates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia ("James Madison"). Together with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, Madison made a major contribution to ratifying the Constitution by writing the Federalist essays, which were in favor of the creation of a more powerful federal government to replace the ailing Confederation. The essays earned him the title of "Father of the Constitution," although he claimed the document was "the work of many heads and many hands" ("James Madison"). He also shared in framing the Bill of Rights and passing the first revenue legislation."

Abstract
This three page book review of James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces" looks at several major points of this work. It looks at James' steps as he moves through rehab in a motivational model, how he copes with the family dynamics in the work, how he is effectively (or not) guided by the staff at the center, and finally, how the work, even though fictional, can be seen as valid.

From the Paper
"Frey's now famous work, entitled "A Million Little Pieces" has recently caught the attention of the American public--firstly from being sponsored by Oprah's Book Club, to then being openly renounced as a work of false fiction. Yet, however one looks at this situation, it can be agreed upon that the work is compelling. Telling the story of a twenty-three year old's collapse into alcoholism and drug addiction, and his way out of this circumstance, it shows unusual honesty of character and family. Moving from a bewildering plane ride to placement in a residential drug and alcohol treatment facility by the seventh page, the majority of the work revolves around James' reactions to treatment, coupled with flashbacks in the form of user-dreams. The work touches upon personal change via a motivational model, illustrates the importance of family dynamics and staff upon..."

Abstract
This paper argues that Shakespeare wrote "Measure for Measure" as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom.

From the Paper
"Shakespeare's England at the time that Measure for Measure was written was in a state of internal conflict and discord. King James I came to power in 1603 and inherited a kingdom rife with a myriad of social and cultural problems, including corruption in the justice system, religious disputes and crises, and rampant sexual immorality. Shakespeare, the ?King's Playwright,? as Alvin Kernan dubs him, wrote Measure for Measure as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James, as a ruler with Divine Right and responsibility to his country, with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom."

Abstract
This paper covers the major pathways by which foreign antigens are identified and dealt with through the adaptive immune response which is paramount on B-cell and T-cell responses and interaction with one another in distinct pathways and steps. It includes several diagrams and their explanations of antigens, B-Cells, T-Cells, APC's and more and their interactions and processes they go through.

From the Paper
"All immune responses involving T-cell B-cell collaborations follow distinct pathways of interactions and development. These very pathways of the adaptive immune response are almost entirely dependant on the cellular interaction of B- cells and T- cells with one another. It is within each stage of these pathways and the progression of an adaptive immune response that we will concern ourselves. The following is a condensed synopsis of the adaptive immune response and the cellular interactions that will be the emphasis of this paper. Within secondary lymph tissues foreign antigen is presented to naive B-cells via their surface immunoglobulins (Igs) receptors. The same antigen is also presented to naive T-cells at this time. This presentation and subsequent recognition of antigen by both types of cells results in and end product of proliferation and development of naive B-cells into plasma cells whose function is the production of soluble immunoglobulins (antibodies), and the differentiation and development of memory B-cells whose function is to respond to subsequent exposure to the same antigen. However, this pathway is not self-sufficient and requires the direct interaction of activated T-cells, specifically "helper" T-cells (Th2 cells) 1,9. It is these T-cells in conjunction with the antigen presenting B-cells that interact to produce a hormonal response to infection. These interactions activate Th2 cells that in turn promote B-cell activation both through T-cell secreted cytokines, (interlukeinI1-2, 4 and 5), and also through direct cell to cell contacts involving specific surface proteins and corresponding receptors and the signaling initiated by the binding of these proteins to one another."
