From the Paper
"The FBI watched Hanssen comprehensively and finally made an arrest at the conclusion of a time frame in which, they used some of the most strong surveillance techniques so as to build a case against him. According to the authorities, the FBI operation was made trickier since quite a few number of Hanssen's colleagues were engaged in the investigation. Also, Hanssen had a habit of checking FBI records in an ongoing attempt to see if his activities and communications were being watched by means of computer forensic analysis, substantial covert surveillance, court-authorized searches and other sensitive techniques (7).

Abstract
This paper explores author Ronald Steel's flawed method of razing the myths of Robert Kennedy. This paper proves that while Steel's interpretations are at times plausible, at others they are completely contrived and argues that the author's depiction of Kennedy is flat, one-dimensional and sorely lacking in facts. This paper also contains a brief history of Robert Kennedy's political career.
From the Paper
"Steel reports that Robert's stand on the Vietnam war was not so different from Nixon's own position, but Robert admitted that he had been mistaken about Vietnam. There are no known reports that Nixon ever admitting that he was wrong about Vietnam. Steel could have taken a closer look at how Johnson and John Kennedy parted on the issues of Vietnam. He may have found that Johnson did state a greater doubt than had been known about the stability and rectitude of his policy, and while John Kennedy called the war immoral, he did not call an outright end to the war."

From the Paper
"The materials used by the designers during the 18th century reflected the industrial revolution, in that they were able to utilize improved older materials. Bricks were fired at higher temperatures and became different colors. Stucco and ceramic tiles were also utilized, with decorative or highly colored motifs that carried designs or imitated brick. Improved casting techniques allowed designers to use decorative ironwork to create delicate, Neoclassical patterns that were used in balconies and window frames. Structural ironwork was also used in staircases, increases and iron plates that helped fireproof structures. "

Appointing John Roberts, 2005.
A discussion regarding the implications of John Roberts' nomination as Supreme Court Justice.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 4 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the nomination of John Roberts to the position of Supreme Court Justice. The paper examines the process for nominating and appointing a justice, followed by a look at the political fracas that surrounds this particular nomination. Finally, the paper concludes that nominating and appointing Roberts is a god idea because of his attitudes towards Constitutional Law and the power of the federal government.
From the Paper
"It's certainly true that the nomination of Supreme Court justices can quickly devolve into the worst kind of political infighting. This has been the case for years. However, that governmental fact has become all the more acute in the nomination of John Roberts largely because of the highly polarized political climate that currently exists in the United States. Certainly, Democrats and Republicans have opposed one another for far longer than living memory; nevertheless, on this matter the two parties quite literally seem to be at each other's throat. Conservatives largely consider the matter a done deal; liberals are adamant that the nomination not go through, at least not until after Roberts has been thoroughly grilled by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Robert Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis, 2002.
An analysis of the role of Robert Kennedy in defusing the Cuban Missile Crisis through his negotiations.
1,650 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 7 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay will argue, this role was not simply one of "hawk" or "dove". Rather, Robert Kennedy's position - as did the position of many in Washington in those days - moved depending upon what decision appeared to offer the most "room" to negotiate among a group of generally negative options. However, it was in his extra-constitutional role as an "extension" of the President's will that Robert Kennedy played a dominant role in the Cuban Missile Crisis in three respects. His "negotiations" with the Soviets - often unofficial and conducted outside the usual channels of diplomacy - ensured the maintenance of lines of communication between Moscow and Washington in this crucial time.

From the Paper
"Lee began his service to the Confederate States by doing vital staff work to plan the army's attacks. His plans for the battle of Manassas were totally successful; this represented the first major victory of the war for the Confederate States. This was a shock for the North. The North had planned on a victory bringing a quick end to the war. But, the victory went to the South. Although Lee was unable to attend the Battle of Manassas (also known as the Battle of Bull Run), his battle plans led to the Southern victory. The South won this battle in great part to Lee's great military experience and battle strategies."

The paper analyzes a number of Browning's poems, and for each one cites critical passages pointing to a major theme of the work.

From the Paper
"In Browning's best poems, people from the past reveal their lives and thoughts by speaking aloud. A typical Browning poem tells of a key or pivotal moment in the life of a prince, priest, or painter of the Italian Renaissance. A few of Robert Browning's common themes are about Man's relationship to God verses his fellow man, infinities are unattainable to man in his present state of imperfection, and imperfection is the law of life."

Abstract
This paper examines how Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" was first published in 1886 and how a popular belief in evolution had been growing through much of that century, and had been formalized by Charles Robert Darwin in his 1859 publication, "Origin of Species" ("Evolution"). This paper argues that Darwinism (as it came to be known) had a great influence on Stevenson, and that his character Hyde represents primitive man, or even the primates from which man evolved.

Robert Fancher: A Bit Off Base, 2002.
This paper argues against Robert Fancher's view of the role of science in modern psychotherapy.
1,143 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes the grounds on which psychotherapy is made legitimate, with specific attention the role played by science. Robert Fancher is presented and rebuffed as a critic of this basic philosophy. The paper shows that the justification for the use of science as a means of legitimization of psychotherapy (and in effect a means to decide the fate of the mentally ill) is valid, and predicated upon documented, empirical evidence. It shows how Robert Fancher, in his book "Cultures of Healing: Correcting the Image of American Mental Health Care", disagrees with this basic notion, over-exaggerating its weaknesses and debasing its strengths, but yet, offering no other system that is as universal and justifiable as science.
From the Paper
"Life can be viewed as a never-ending series of choices. Some are welcomed, some are not, but they are all inevitable. Man takes it upon himself in most cases to exercise his 'free will' (or illusion of free will), to decide the course of his life. As a society, we take it upon ourselves to decide the course for others in special circumstances, such as in cases of crime or disease. For the mentally ill, it is society as a whole that makes their decisions for them. The general public abdicates this power to psychiatrists and those mental health professionals specifically trained to make these decisions, similar to the way public officials are elected to make political decisions. The qualifications of these elected psychiatrists and other professionals rest in their education and training, which ultimately rests on the shoulders of modern science. It is ultimately here that society puts its trust to ensure the proper care of its mentally ill citizens; and in our deepest fears, ourselves. It is this rationalization that Fancher attacks, harshly, and often without proper merit, in his book: Cultures of Healing: Correcting the Image of American Mental Health Care."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Robert Lee Frost was born in San Francisco to Isabelle Moodie and William Prescott, Jr. in March 26, 1874. After his father's demise in 1886, he, his mother and sister moved to New England to be closer to his paternal grandparents who were living in Eastern Massachusetts. Frost married Elinor Miriam White in December of 1895. Looking for better pastures, Frost took his family to settle across the Atlantic in 1912 and settled in Beaconsfield, London. It was in this period of his life that Frost made the acquaintance of people who would eventually play a critical role in his literary career. Among them were the Dymock poet Edward Thomas, T. E. Hulme and Ezra Pound
It was in Frosts return to America in 1915 that his literary career truly took off. After Pound's review of his works, he gained acclaim particularly for the work he did while he was in England. He became a popular writer and lecturer while at the same time taught English at Amherst College and Bread Loaf School of English of Middlebury College in Ripton, Vermont. Aside from his literary work, Robert Lee Frost is also famous for the reading of the poem "The Gift Outright" on January 20, 1961 after the inaugural speech of President John F. Kennedy. He also influenced modern views on poetry that encouraged its public recitals and incorporation to other modern arts."

Abstract
A brief biography of Robert E. Lee, born in Stratford, Virginia, on January 19, 1807. The writer explores Lee's family background as well as his early entrance into military and political life. Lee was a staunch advocate of state?s rights and as such, resigned his commission from the United States Army and offered himself to the newly forming Confederate government and Jefferson Davis as a military advisor. The writer believes that Robert E. Lee was a great general who paid a high price for sticking to the principles he held most dear.
From the Paper
"Lee worked in various assignments in the U.S. Army following his graduation from the Academy as an Army engineer. In 1845, the United States went to war with Mexico, and Lee, then a captain, was assigned to General Winfield Scott?s staff. Lee?s job was to map the terrain the U.S. Army would be marching into. Eventually he moved into military leadership roles, including leading soldiers into battle (Brasington, 2003). In addition to valuable combat skill, Lee served with other officers he would fight against during the War Between the States, including George Pickett and Ulysses S. Grant."
