2. Deep Throat -- Identity
   The identity of Deep Throat is the greatest remaining mystery of Watergate. Hailed by many as a profile in courage and condemned by others as a modern-day Benedict Arnold, there is little doubt this individual played a crucial role in one of the greatest presidential scandals of the 20th century.
3. Richard Dreyfuss -- Los Angeles
   An outspoken social and political activist, Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War and worked in alternate service for two years as a clerk in a Los Angeles hospital. Launching his Hollywood film career with a single line in The Graduate, he shot to fame in the box office hits Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Rebounding from drug dependency in the early 1980s, he went on to success in Mr. Holland’s Opus and other films and to starring roles on Broadway.
4. Ruth Gordon
   Written by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, Adam's Rib is a peerless comedy predicated on the double standard. Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn play Adam and Amanda Bonner, a husband-and-wife attorney team, both drawn to a case of attempted murder. The defendant (Judy Holliday) had tearfully attempted to shoot her husband (Tom Ewell) and his mistress (Jean Hagen). Adam argues that the case is open and shut, but Amanda points out that, if the defendant were a man, he'd be set free on the basis of "the unwritten law." Thus it is that Adam works on behalf of the prosecution, while Amanda defends the accused woman. The trial turns into a media circus, while the Bonners' home life suffers.

6. Quebec -- Canada West
   Quebec (spelled Québec in French) is a province in Eastern Canada. It is the biggest of Canada's ten provinces. It is the province with the second-highest number of people. Most of Quebec's inhabitants live along or close to the banks of the Saint Lawrence River. Not many people live in the north part of the province. Unlike the other provinces, most people in Quebec speak French.
7. Treason
   As a documentary, Beyond Treason is very qualified and refreshingly unzealous film. The overall calm mood doesn't get your temperature rise like with Alex Jones' anti- U.S. government documentaries, but this doesn't decrease the "viewability" at all. Highly recommended for anyone.
8. Ethan Allen -- New York
   On May 3, 1778 Ethan Allen was marched to New York Harbor and compelled to board a sloop to Staten Island. He was there admitted to General Campbell’s quarters and invited to eat and drink with the general and several other British field officers. Allen stayed there for two days and was treated politely. On the third day Allen was exchanged for Colonel Archibald Campbell, who was conducted to the exchange by Colonel Elias Boudinot, the American commissary general of prisoners appointed by General George Washington. On the fourth day, the general took Allen prisoner again, and charged him with treason to the Patriots.
9. U.S. Military Academy -- West Point
   The U.S. Military Academy has ordered a group of its alumni who oppose the Iraq War to cease their use of the trademarked words “West Point” in their name, the Associated Press reported. The academy, commonly known as West Point after its location in New York, said that the group’s antiwar stand was immaterial and that it could use the words if it sought a license.
10. Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
    Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president of the United States from 1933 to 1945, the years of the Great Depression and World War II. Under FDR's leadership in the most difficult of times, the Unitd States became the most powerful national in history. The carefully selected photographs and meticulously researched life in these pages combine to tell the life of an extraordinary man and of an era that was perhaps the most momentous in American history. Many of the programmed and policies instituted by Roosevelt during his twelve yeras in office affect the quality of American life even today. controversial in his own time, his views are still the subject of heated debate. A majority of Americans loved Roosevelt: a sizeable minority hated him.
