From the Paper
"Purpose Statement
The purpose of this analysis is to present an alternative interpretation of what actually happened in Oklahoma City. This discussion draws together the evidence that two or more explosions took place in the Alfred P. Murrah federal building. If such evidence proves to be credible then the federal government's one-bomb theory is thrown into serious question, and this terrorist act would have to be completely re-examined.
On April, 19, 1995, powerful explosions destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. One hundred sixty-eight people died as a result of this terrorist attack (Quayle, 1995). Within hours the FBI had captured a suspect named Timothy McVeigh and within days they arrested an army friend of his, named Terry Nichols, as an alleged accomplice. The FBI and ..."

Abstract
The question of whether or not it was necessary to drop the atomic bomb on Japan and the reasons for doing so is one of the most hotly contested historical issues today. This paper focuses on one of the many arguments against the necessity of the bomb, which deals with the policy of unconditional surrender. Many scholars argue that if Truman would have assured the Japanese leadership that Emperor Hirohito would not be dethroned after Japan's defeat, the atomic bomb would not have been necessary to end the war. The paper provides evidence to support this claim, but in the end, concludes that even the most ardent Japanese peace advocates harbored suicidal sentiments with regard to unconditional surrender and would still refuse to accept Truman's terms after both bombs were dropped.
From the Paper
"There were many advocates pushing for a change since the beginning of the war, but no real progress was made in this endeavor even after 1944 when high ranking military officials pushed for a policy change. They complained that losses would be increasingly heavy as fighting neared the Japanese homeland. Realizing that changing the terms would make the Japanese more willing to surrender, commanders began pushing Roosevelt to consider clarifying them. Early in 1945, Winston Churchill proposed at the Yalta Conference that clarifying the terms ?would be worthwhile if it led to the saving of a year and a half of a war in which so much blood and treasure would be poured out.? He proposed that after Germany was defeated the Allies ?issue an ultimatum to Japan, retaining the unconditional surrender wording, but defining it to allow retention of the emperor (Newman, 65).? Many others began coming to the realization that Japan was not going to surrender without assurances to its Emperor, and that this issue was a major obstacle to peace."

Abstract
Discusses the U.S. federal response against the terrorists in the 1993 WTC bombing. Investigation of the crime, prosecution of the defendants, results of the trial. Relation to terrorist attack of 9/11. Details the various investigation activities of the FBI, and ATF. Charges against Muslim fundamentalists. Compares legal response of 1993 to 2001.
From the Paper
"On February 26, 1993, a bomb planted into the parking garage of the World Trade Center shattered the foundation of the towers, killing five people and injuring 1,042 others (Wallace, 1993, p. 42). The specter of terrorism was resurrected eight years later with the irreversible destruction of the twin towers on September 11 this year. Both terrorist attacks are the work of Islamic fundamentalists who were resentful of U.S. ascendancy and its role in the Middle East.
The purpose of this paper is to delve into the U.S. federal response against the terrorists in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The investigation of the crime, the prosecution of the defendants and the results of the trial will be discussed. In addition, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center will also be considered in the light of the September 11 attack."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Iraq conflict with regard to the issues surrounding cluster bombs and the humanitarian threat their legality poses. The paper explains that cluster bombs are not always discriminating in their targets, and once fallen, bomblets can remain inactive for some time before exploding. The paper contends that cluster bombs pose an unacceptable risk to civilians, especially children and discusses the lack of global legislation forbidding cluster bomb use. The paper looks at some nations' actions in improving the reliability of cluster munitions, but claims that this does not help when countries use old stockpiles. The paper strongly asserts that it is time for the cluster bomb to be made illegal on the international stage.
Outline:
Introduction
Cluster Bombs: The Facts At A Glance
Cluster Bombs: Position By Country
Are Cluster Bombs Illegal?
Why Cluster Bombs Should Be Made Illegal
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The cluster bomb and its legitimacy as a weapon of war has recently come under fire, hot on the tails of use during recent conflicts in Iraq, Kosovo and Afghanistan. Concerns over the power of the weapon have primarily been humanitarian, as cluster bombs - shells which release submunitions, or bomblets, from either air or land, with the intention of killing "soft" targets such as enemy soldiers - are unreliable, shedding highly explosive and volatile submunitions over a wide area, often failing to explode on immediate impact. As the target area related to the cluster bomb is wide, and as apparently faulty cluster bombs may be later activated by accidental interference, the threat to civilians lives from delayed detonation is high. Recent media attention on cluster bombs has focused on the loss of civilian life in Iraq, one of the most prominent armed conflicts of recent times."

Abstract
It will be argued that the three saddest scenes in the poem are Aeneas' tale of the death of Priam, the abandonment and suicide of Did and the defeat and death of Turnus. However, it must be acknowledged that this choice is determined by our modern context. As will be shown, within the cultural and political climate that created this work, these scenes may not have all been regarded as sad.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although more than half a century has passed since the atomic bombing of Japan, it is still arguable whether such actions by the Allied forces were justified. The author points out that the atomic bomb was used just like any other weapon war and that the United States military did not see the atomic bomb as anything other than an instrument of war; there is little difference between the conventional destruction of Tokyo by conventional American saturation bombing, which killed some 100,000 people, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which also killed 100,000 people. The paper relates that former President Herbert Hoover had expressed that use of the bomb had besmirched America's reputation and that its potential disastrous effects should have been described in graphic terms before the United States decided to bomb Japan.
From the Paper
"President Harry S. Truman stated on August 9, 1945, "We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war." The Allied forces believed that the use of the atomic bomb was justified due to Japan's relentless denial to surrender. Japan had demonstrated fanatical resistance by fighting to almost the last man on Pacific islands and committing mass suicide on Saipan. Moreover, by the summer of 1944, the Japanese had resorted to one major asset they still possessed, the willingness of their pilots to meet certain death, hence they developed the Kamikaze technique whereby a pilot would fly his plane directly into a ship or target."

Abstract
This paper deals with Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" and looks at how Shakespeare uses blocking figures and complication as devices to set the scene and move the plot forward.
From the Paper
"Upon reading three of Shakespeare?s works, I have decided to analyze the first scene found in the first act of ?The Taming of the Shrew.? I chose to analyze this scene because of the fact that I found all of the characters in this play to be complex and above all, interesting. I also found the plot to be Shakespeare?s best; as it encompasses many themes such as blocking figures and complication found in common life situations regarding the somewhat tumultuous pursuit of love and happiness."

The Atomic Bomb, 2004.
This paper discuses the development of the atomic bomb and the effects of dropping it on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Abstract
This paper explains that the scope of the effect the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki had on modern warfare and science technology is visible only when taking into account the intense scientific processes to create these weapons of mass destruction. The author points out that, at the dawn of World War II, Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Franklin. D. Roosevelt about Nazi Germany's efforts to purify uranium-235, which he warned could result in the building of an atomic bomb. The paper relates that, soon after this letter, the U.S. government started the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb before the Germans. The author states that the bomb was tested successfully on July 1945 and, a month later, the first bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The paper concludes that the atomic bomb was considered a "quick" and economical way to win the war; however, it was a cruel form of punishment for the Japanese citizens resulting in slow and painful deaths for many innocent Japanese. The paper includes graphs.
From the Paper
"The most difficult part of the Manhattan Project was how to produce enough enriched Uranium to uphold a chain reaction. Uranium-235 was hard to extract. Only about 1/500th of Uranium ore mined ends up as Uranium metal. Of this metal, the fissionable isotope of Uranium is rare. Fissionable Uranium occurs at a ration of 1 to 139. Separating one part of Uranium-235 from 139 parts of Uranium-238 is challenging. Only mechanical methods could effectively separate the two. Scientists at Columbia University first figured out how. A facility to separate Uranium-235 was set up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee."

Abstract
This paper introduces and discusses the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan to end World War II. It examines how the bombs were developed, the use of the bombs and what their effect has been on the world.
From the Paper
"Numerous scientists contributed to the development of the atomic bomb with discoveries in several areas, such as physics, mathematics, radium, and more. Albert Einstein's E=mc2 helped physicists discover the speed and mass of atoms, and Eve Curie's discovery of radium gave them the material to make the bomb. The discoveries went on and on for several decades, and eventually, scientists realized they could create a devastating weapon."

Abstract
This is a detailed study describing the progression of the Manhattan Project and the invention of the atomic bomb. The ?Manhattan Project? was a code name given to the efforts and collaboration of many scientists to build the first atom bomb. The author sees two major challenges that faced the team of highly capable scientists. The first was the actual production of the atom bomb. This involved actually making innovative discoveries that would revolutionize war and change man?s idea of war for good. The second involved all of the ethical debates on whether or not the bomb should have actually been used in warfare. The author concludes that the building of the atomic bomb proved to be the most pivotal advance seen by science up until the early twentieth century.
From the Paper
"We have too many men of science, too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon of the Mount...The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living...? stated General Omar N. Bradley, Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1948, voicing the opinion, shared by many of the time, towards the building of the atomic bomb. The ?Manhattan Project? was a code name given to the efforts and collaboration of many scientists to build the first atom bomb. There were two major challenges that faced the team of highly capable scientists. The first was the actual production of the atom bomb. This involved actually making innovative discoveries that would revolutionize war and change man?s idea of war for good. The second involved all of the ethical debates on whether or not the bomb should have actually been used in warfare. The project lasted from 1942-1946 and cost approximately 1.8 billion dollars, which is comparable to 20 billion dollars today. The building of the atomic bomb proved to be the most pivotal advance seen by science up until the early twentieth century."

Abstract
This paper relates that the atomic bomb has dramatically changed the world we live in and will continue to strike fear into the every day lives of civilians. The paper asserts that the making of the atomic bomb was inevitable, but the use of the atomic bomb was a mistake that will never be forgotten. The paper goes on to say that the atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 ended the bloodiest war in human history, but Japan was on the verge of surrendering anyway, so there was no military justification for the use of these horrific weapons. The writer concludes that if humanity fails to break free from the vicious cycle of wars, atomic bombs will be used again, life on earth will end someday in one final conflagration and the final page of human history will never be written because no one will be left alive to write it.
From the Paper
"Despite the fact that most Americans in 1945 considered these atomic attacks fully justified and felt no remorse for the massive death and destruction inflicted upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki, most Americans today have very different attitudes about the atomic bombings, and feel regret, shame, and revulsion when they think about the atomic attacks. Most of them believe that although the making of the atomic bomb was inevitable, it was a mistake to use atomic bombs against Japan."
"The Manhattan Project was established early in World War II because it was learned that Nazi Germany was intent upon building an atomic bomb. This political factor, combined with the relentless advance of scientific discoveries, made the development of atomic weapons inevitable. Consequently, a race to develop atomic bombs began, for they would be the ultimate weapon and whichever nation possessed them would be impossible to defeat."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents processes and techniques used during crime scene investigations, as well as the processing of the crime scene. It covers details concerning what constitutes a crime scene and what types of evidence to look for. The paper also discusses the individuals involved in processing a crime scene and when or if there is a need for another jurisdiction to join the investigation.
From the Paper
"A police officer is usually notified by the law enforcement dispatch center when a crime has been reported. The time and subject of the call are recorded by the police officer, to include the name of the complainant and the nature of the complaint. In most cases, the police officer may also record the name of the dispatcher that contacted him/her concerning the call. Police officers responding to a call have to be very alert. Some things they need to watch for are where they are going, to make sure they respond to the correct location, any suspicious persons around the crime scene and to identify any potential witnessed. The police officer has to record his/her route to the scene and time of arrival. Police departments train their police officers to park away from the crime scene and teach them techniques to avoid destroying any evidence."

Abstract
This paper examines how Act 3 Scene 1 is a key scene in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". It discusses how it represents the climax of a love story and the beginning of a tragedy and how the scene shows the consequences of hatred or feud and what can happen if things go too far. It also looks at the dramatic effectiveness this scene has on the audience, both contemporary and in Shakespeare?s time.
From the Paper
"Act 3 scene 1 has a lot of contrast because of its variety of language and style. For instance, it changes from blank verse, to prose to blank and rhyming verse. It?s language and style changes to indicate the mood of the scene as well as it?s development. In Act 2 scene 6 and Act 3 scene 2 Shakespeare uses blank verses to draw attention to a change in a speaker?s mindset, to move from serious to lighter subject matter or vice versa, to emphasize the differences between social classes but in Act 3 scene 1 it is important that Shakespeare uses less verse because this an active scene. Prose is used a lot in this scene. In fact almost half the scene uses prose and this is appropriate because in Act 3 scene 1 there are a lot of speeches in which the characters speak about their state of mind and prose signal insanity."
