- Franklin, Rosalind (AccessExcellence.org - Ardell)
"By 1952, much was known about DNA, including its exclusive role as genetic material - the sole substance capable of storing all the information needed to create a living being."
"The now familiar double helical structure of DNA, and the base-pairing crucial to its hereditary function, were deciphered in 1953, and the individuals most commonly associated with this remarkable feat are James Watson and Francis Crick. Maurice Wilkins played a crucial role as well, and he shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine with Watson and Crick for the discovery. However, another important figure remains, without whom the discovery would not have been possible: the brilliant but short-lived Rosalind Franklin." 4-03

The result is maybe the greatest singer of our time.' " 9-03

- Editorial - Bush and Religion (MSNBC News - Johnson)
Johnson describes President Bush's distinctive approach to gaining votes from religious conservatives.
"Americans have heard the president speak of God and the nation’s destiny many times. But they have rarely heard him speak of his own faith in specific terms. In fact, Bush appears never to have said publicly that he is an evangelical. While he has dropped many clues, they do not constitute a definitive statement of his faith."
"The ambiguity offers advantages and disadvantages, never more so than in the current campaign, when the president's strategists have made conservative white evangelical voters — 4 million of whom they believe failed to go to the polls in 2000 — their No. 1 target."
"Working with Kevin Coe, David S. Domke of the University of Washington analyzed inaugural and State of the Union messages by every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. Historically, they found, presidents have spoken of God from the position of a petitioner, asking for His guidance or blessing, with two exceptions: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Their message comes from a prophetic stance, as though describing God’s intentions from a position of knowledge." 9-04
- -02-03-05 Democrats Blast Bush Social Security Plan (ABC News)
"Democrats on Thursday said President Bush's proposed overhaul of Social Security would burden future generations with massive debt and undo income protection promised to the elderly since Democrat Franklin Roosevelt was president."
"Standing at the entrance to the Roosevelt Memorial, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and a number of his colleagues said Bush's plan to divert Social Security taxes into private investment accounts would increase the nation's debt to as much as $30,000 per person by 2015, compared to $12,000 in 2001."
"They urged Bush to avoid borrowing huge sums to pay for the private account plan." 2-05
- National Highway System (InfoPlease.com)
"In the beginning of the 20th century, a national, uninterrupted system of highways was merely a pipe dream. A National Road was built in 1815 that ran between Maryland and St. Louis, and facilitated immigration to the central United States. This road, however, fell into disrepair."
"Soon after becoming president in 1953, President Eisenhower authorized the first funding of the interstate system. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1954 set aside $175 million for the project. However, even more money was needed for the system that Eisenhower envisioned, and he continued to press for funds. Two years later, the expanded Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 authorized a budget of $25 billion, of which the federal share would be 90%."
Editor's Note: The article states, " It wasn't until the late 1930s that Dwight D. Eisenhower advocated for the transcontinental system of highways that eventually took his name." The statement is incorrect. It was President Franklin D. Roosevelt that advocated for the highway system at that time. 7-05

- -03-23-06 Sharp Criticism of College Board for SAT Errors (ABC News)
"Another revelation about scoring errors on last October's SAT exam has the College Board, the test's owner, under heavy criticism even from admissions officers a group that relies on the SAT and typically supports it."
"A growing number of schools, including Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania, do not require the SAT. Dennis Trotter, the college's vice president for enrollment and marketing and dean of admission, said the latest errors call into question the test's 'relevancy and dependability in the admissions process.' " 03-06

Provides a copy of the X-ray image made by Rosalind Franklin that inspired the conclusion of James Watson and Francis Crick that DNA has the shape of a double helix. 03-07
- Worst Presidents (U.S. News)
"Credit, or blame, for the first scholarly ranking of the presidents usually goes to Harvard historian Arthur Schlesinger Sr., who conducted a poll for Life magazine in 1948. He asked 55 specialists in American history to rate the presidents as great, near great, average, below average, or failure. Claiming the cellar of that list were Warren G. Harding and, in ascending order, Ulysses S. Grant, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Calvin Coolidge, John Tyler, Benjamin Harrison, and Herbert Hoover." 05-08
- -01-08-09 Editorial: Bush Declared War Against a Tactic (CNN News)
"Bush took the nation to war against a tactic, rather than a war against a specific enemy, which was obviously al Qaeda and anyone allied to it. When the United States went to war against the Nazis and the Japanese during World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt and his congressional supporters did not declare war against U-boats and kamikaze pilots, but on the Nazi state and Imperial Japan."
"The war on terror, sometimes known as the 'Global War on Terror' or by the clunky acronym GWOT, became the lens through which the Bush administration judged almost all of its foreign policy decisions. That proved to be dangerously counterproductive on several levels."
"Obama should also make it clear that instead of the Bush formulation of 'Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists,' the Obama administration doctrine will be, 'Anyone who is against the terrorists is with us.' "
"After all it is only al Qaeda and its several affiliates in countries like Iraq, Lebanon and Algeria and allied groups such as the Taliban that kill U.S. soldiers and civilians and attack American interests around the globe."
"Everyone else in the world is a potential or actual ally in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates, because those organizations threaten almost every category of institution, government and ethnic grouping." 01-09
- 11-28-02 Lula Elected President of Brazil (World Press Review - Rapoza)
Provides goals of the new President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. According to Lula, "My first year will focus on combating hunger." "The program, inspired by former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s food stamp initiative, is expected to cost roughly US$1.5 million. Funding will come from the federal budget, half of which has already been designated to combat hunger. An estimated 46 million Brazilians eat less than 2 square meals a day, according to a government survey. The program aims to provide an additional 76 reals monthly for 20 percent of the 46 million by the end of 2003, in a country where the minimum wage is 200 reals per month."
"The markets will be watching to make sure Brazil doesn’t invest too much of its cash in projects that are unlikely to generate revenue and will increase the country’s US$288 billion public debt."
"Lula has sought to reassure investors by saying the only way Brazil would be forced to default on its debt is if it were to continue on its present economic course, which he says relies on attracting investment dollars in high-yield government bonds rather than through investment in the productive economy."
