Abstract
This paper compares three plays, William W. Brown's "Leap for Freedom", Eugene O'Neill's "All God's Chillun Got Wings" and Adrienne Kennedy's "Funnyhouse of a Negro". All these plays deal with miscegenation in some way. The conclusion draws on the postmodern difference theories of Jacques Derrida to illustrate why miscegenation is such a large issue, as well as one difficult to portray in a theatrical medium.

Abstract
The notion of racial self-hatred is a basic premise in Kennedy's work. This paper examines how racial self-hatred is explored in "Funnyhouse of a Negro" and why the concept is especially pertinent to the play's characters.

From the Paper
"Ethnic stereotypes have been a powerful subject for theatre because of the emotional and psychological effects that it produces in the readers. Often ethnic stereotypes have been portrayed in various forms which have been helpful to identify and expose the social maladies present in the society. Perhaps the reason why social stereotypes have been described in various manners is that it often brings out different perspectives of racial discrimination and the responses of the affected groups towards racial distinction. The play Funnyhouse of a Negro by Adrienne Kennedy is an effort in this direction and describes the mental and emotional stress that the central character, Sarah has to undergo because of her mixed lineage."

From the Paper
"Almost immediately, the police investigation of the assassination was associated with controversy as a result of many factors, including: the subsequent murder of the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald by a Dallas nightclub owner who was reputed to have ties to organized crime; statements made by Oswald and records of his connections to the Communist Cuban government of Fidel Castro; apparent implausibility of various forensic theories in relation to the physical evidence; improper handling of the autopsy; destruction of physical evidence and original documents and records; the accounts of individuals who have claimed knowledge or and/or involvement in a conspiracy to assassinate the president; and conflicting results of two official government investigations."

Abstract
This outline discusses why immigration reform is needed and lists the reasons the McCain-Kennedy Bill for Immigration Reform should have been passed. It discusses the social, cultural, and criminal implications of immigration reform.

From the Paper
"Immigration reform is necessary for a variety of reasons. Border security enforcement. Reduction control of illegal workers. Bring illegal immigrants already here out of hiding. (Butts) The vulnerability to exploitation of illegal immigrant workers puts downward pressure on all wages in certain industries-hurting all workers. (Jimenez) To limit overzealous government agencies, past efforts at immigration reform have been disappointing. Even when immigration laws could have been effective, they have not been enforced."

Abstract
The paper identifies how Adrienne Rich conveys the breakdown of a house as a symbol of security through ocean and ship imagery, and through the physical elements of the poem, including line length, meter and the use of space on the page. The paper also analyzes the speaker's identification with the builders in the poem. The paper demonstrates how Rich draws the reader into the experience of the speaker, who is certain of doom and is completely confused on several levels.

From the Paper
"The breakdown of the house as a symbol of security begins in the very first line of the poem: "Over the half-finished houses" (1). The first thing that the reader might notice is that the houses are only half-finished. They are not being presented in the act of being finished; there is no action for the houses in the first line, merely the comment that they are half-finished, which really means that they are un-finished. These houses do not have the physical capabilities of offering protection, and there is something about them that is only half formed, like a warping of their nature. Action is noted in the next few lines by its absence, but here there is none."

Abstract
This paper attempts to discover who the real John F. Kennedy was. The paper claims that, shrouded in myth and mystery, Kennedy is usually presented as a leader who could make a difference. He is seen as a man of character who wanted equal civil rights for blacks, effectively dealt with the Cuban missile crisis, was a good father and had a perfect wife. Kennedy is even touted as the man who could direct the country to more prosperity had he not died in office. The paper contends that this is just a mythical image of Kennedy. The paper identifies the real Kennedy as shockingly less pious and anything but a good leader. What he promised he never delivered and was consistently unfaithful to his very devoted wife.

From the Paper
"Let us start with his political undertakings. As much as we would love to believe that Kennedy was a great political leader, the truth is that he was anything but that. President Kennedy used the political system to his advantage only and not for public's benefit. For one he never tried to change or shape the system in which he worked. He was too concerned about his own popularity to try changing public opinion or political system. Leaders bring changes; they are fearless and love taking calculated risks. Kennedy doesn't fulfill any of these conditions. He avoided risks even the ones that the country desperately expected him to take such as civil rights for blacks. He always played safe simply because that was afraid of losing his popularity in the Congress. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Justice Anthony McLeod Kennedy's intricate role on the Rehnquist Supreme Court has led many to question his views and ideals. The author points out that, although he usually votes with the conservative bloc, in certain cases involving abortion, capital punishment, and gay rights, he has voted liberal. The paper relates that, through his lawyer-legislator father, Kennedy, who was born in 1936 in California, met many influential figures such as future Chief Justice Earl Warren. The author explains that, while on the Circuit Court, Kennedy became a leader of the conservatives avoiding writing controversial opinions, which allowed his Supreme Court confirmation hearings to be considered amicable. The paper relates that Justice Kennedy's work on the Supreme Court demonstrates consistently his beliefs that the court should not be legislative. The paper describes many of Kennedy's cases.

From the Paper
"The 2000 case of Stenberg, Attorney General of Nebraska, et al v. Carhart returned Justice Kennedy to the conservative end of the Court. This case mirrored back to Planned Parenthood v. Casey, stating that the Nebraska state government cannot illegalize partial birth abortion because this will impede on the undue burden privilege established four years earlier. Justice Kennedy dissented Justice Breyer's Opinion of the Court. He believed that Planned Parenthood allowed the for state to protect the life of the child to a certain extent. The Nebraska law was struck down, but by 2003 the federal government had adopted a law prohibiting partial birth abortions ("Stenberg v. Carhart")."

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews Hellman's book, which explores America's obsession with John F. Kennedy and the entire Kennedy family. Hellman notes that, despite Kennedy's charisma and charm, America has long been obsessed with the Kennedy family, far beyond any seemingly reasonable interest or curiosity.

From the Paper
"Hellman notes that despite Kennedy's charisma and charm, America has long been obsessed with the Kennedy family far beyond any seemingly reasonable interest or curiosity. Hellman's text explores Kennedy's deliberate creation of his self-image, and how his public persona interacted with the mass media and the political machine to create the pervasive Kennedy myth. The book is concise and illuminating, and never falls into the sensationalist or trite. Overall, Hellman is an engaging and interesting author who does a lot to bring the already interesting subject matter to life."

Abstract
This paper states that the Kennedy image was greatly strengthened from the moment Kennedy was assassinated which it makes it near impossible to criticize the dead president. The author points out a number of important positive aspects of this image including the man's youth, his family oriented life, his liberalism and the glamor that surrounded him. However, the author also demonstrates that Kennedy had a number of negative aspects to his image such as his womanizing and his relationship with the Mafia.

From the Paper
"The domestic policy action that had the most impact during Kennedy's presidency was very low-key. It was the creation of the "President's commission on the state of women". This was something created as a gesture of thanks to Eleanor Roosevelt (who became the commission's leader) for her help during the presidential campaign and to please the women in the Democratic Party. The commission produced an important report on the need for improved opportunities for the education of women. It is fitting that the main important Liberal reform made by President Kennedy was almost accidental in origin."

Abstract
This essay explores John F. Kennedy's inaugural address of 1961. It looks at the ways in which Kennedy's speech effected America and the world during the Age of Industrialization. Gauging history from the perspective of a refined hindsight telescope, this essay explains the relevance that Kennedy's speech had on the future course of globalization. The essay also highlights parts of Kennedy's address that relate to today's War on Terrorism.

From the Paper
"Kennedy, like Eisenhower before him, faced many obstacles in his search for allies. Initially, polycentrism posed a serious stumbling block for the cause of freedom. Just as there were many nations willing to align themselves with America in the fight for liberty, there were also a plethora of autonomous Communist movements that were spreading Communist ideals throughout Asia and the USSR. Kennedy also confronted problems of apathy and neutralism. Many nations denied the invitation to side with Democracy or Communism feeling that it was in the best interest of their respective nations to abstain from foreign involvement. This further delayed progress and globalization. Aggressive China, with her enormous population and dominant Asian influence, spread the seeds of Communism that grew to bite the heels of American soldiers throughout the long struggles of Vietnam. Kennedy's task was not an easy one. As president, Kennedy made countless attempts to ease conflict with Russia after the Cuban Missile Crisis. In spite of his attempts to ease tensions, Kennedy could not shrink from the fundamental principle of national restraint originally outlined in the Truman Doctrine."
