  2. Strom Thurmond -- States
    Strom Thurmond moved quickly to separate himself from the Dixiecrats after November 1948. Although he vowed publicly to continue to fight for states' rights principles, he proved unwilling to continue any close affiliation with the movement he had led only a few months previous. Indeed, Thurmond's actions in 1949 and 1950 confirmed the suspicions of many that his run for the presidency was as much about ego and publicity as principle. But while he kept the Dixiecrats at arms' length, he never made the break complete and he never publicly criticized the organization. He sent mixed messages to his former supporters. Shortly after the election, Thurmond assured one leader of the Alabama states' rights forces that he supported the creation of a permanent States' Rights organization to fight all civil rights legislation and promised his active support.
  3. Richard Nixon -- Presidency
    In the end, Nixon's presidency is going to decide his place in history. It has been studied with care, especially in the second volume of Stephen E. Ambrose's three-volume history, but all the work will now have to be reconsidered, revised, and rewritten. The upheaval in the Nixon cottage industry has been caused by the publication of The Haldeman Diaries, a work that is indispensable for an understanding of the Nixon years in the White House. In his introduction, Ambrose himself says that he would like to write another book based on the diaries. There has been a recent rash of books on Nixon, all of which have suffered the same fate.

  5. Iron -- Metals
    Iron is believed to be the tenth most abundant element in the universe. Iron is ... the most abundant (by mass, 34.6%) element making up the Earth; the concentration of iron in the various layers of the Earth ranges from high at the inner core to about 5% in the outer crust. Most of this iron is found in various iron oxides, such as the minerals hematite, magnetite, and taconite. The earth's core is believed to consist largely of a metallic iron-nickel alloy.
  6. History of Canada
    In time, the course of history enlarged the region's economic activities. Wheat-farming would unquestionably remain basic, from southern Manitoba to the Peace River country of northern Alberta; though crops like sugar beets and canola (used considerably for its edible oil) ... brought more diversity to agriculture. Cattle-ranching, besides, flourished from the Alberta foothills back into Saskatchewan; while lumbering advanced in more northern forest areas, and even commercial fishing was far from insignificant in major freshwaters like Lake Winnipeg. Above all, however, large-scale mining activities developed as well. The plains assuredly would yield great quantities of oil and natural gas (especially but by no means exclusively in Alberta), of potash and uranium in Saskatchewan, and metal ores notably in Manitoba. Furthermore, manufacturing and service industries grew also in major cities of the region.
  7. Friedrich Nietzsche -- Philosophy
    The cause of Nietzsche's breakdown has been the subject of speculation and remains uncertain. An early and frequent diagnosis was a syphilitic infection; ... some of Nietzsche's symptoms were inconsistent with typical cases of syphilis. Another diagnosis was a form of brain cancer. Others suggest that Nietzsche experienced a mystical awakening, similar to ones studied by Meher Baba. While most commentators regard Nietzsche's breakdown as irrelevant to his philosophy, some, including Georges Bataille, argue that the breakdown must be considered.
