Mentioned i think its always fun when you can put documents together that casts several different lights, several different kinds of light on the same event and sometimes even the same person saying something differently at different points in time. A little example of that for example, in hemingways novel about the war for whom the bell tolls, the central episode in that novel the blowing up of the bridge behind nationalist lines, hemingway himself part in a. That lou up the bridge and i tell t...

It should have been an obvious question because nationalist spain has no oil, hitler and mussolini which were supporting it or importers, not exporters. It would have been very difficult and expensive for them to supply the oil. What was the major source of oil in the world at this point . The United States, especially texas. As it turned out general franco was getting most of his oil from texaco which had a ceo at that point to buy a name who was basically a fascist sympathizer. He not only sup...

Assault is the third one, and usually were interested in what most states calling a sated assault aggravated assault where you have serious bodily injury. And that would be the third.

Could you help clear up whats going on . Theres so much said to be about that. The public got stampeded into what i calm the darkest c...

But i feel that to really understand Violent Crime and most major phenomenon, one has to go back in time and see how things developed. That is is true with crime as well. I have learned that crime has its ups and downs and there are good reasons for it. Without a Historical Perspective , one just cannot really fully grasp that. As you all know many criminological studies are crosssectional analysis and they will study may be one years worth of crying. These have great value, im not knocking them...
