JFK: Conspiracy or Tragedy?
[ send me this paper ]
10 pp) This November 22 will mark the 35th anniversary of the slaying of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. And as the memories return for some, the cottage industry that endlessly theorizes about the "truth" behind Kennedy's death will continue to do battle against the stodgy "Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone" establishment on a scale bordering King Kong and the airplane. I personally support the tragedy - one gun one crazed killer theory. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Jonathan Rieder's Canarsie : The Jews & Italians of Brooklyn Against Liberalism
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of the book by Jonathan Rieder. Many books have investigated the societal and racial turmoil that began in the 1960s from the standpoint of the African-American community. This book, however, takes a look at the period between 1960 and 1980 from a different perspective--that of a middle-class white community. In so doing, the Rieder doesn't excuse the actions of this neighborhood, but he does help to the reader to understand their motivations. No additional sources cited.

Justifications for the Use of Atomic Bombs on Japan in World War II
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page contention that the primary reason behind the use of atomic bombs in Japan, however, was to effect a speedy end to the bloody ravages of the War. Indeed, Japan provided a number of actions which justified the final desperate U.S. act of the deployment of atomic bombs. While this bombing resulted in tremendous loss of life and suffering, the entire war had been about loss of life and suffering. In reality there were no feasible alternatives to the use of atomic bombs on Japan. The use of atomic weapons actually saved lives in that the number of U.S. troops who would have died if more traditional means of warfare had continued would have undoubtedly been astronomical in comparison to the number of lives lost as a result of the atomic bombs.
