  1. Harry S. Truman -- War
    Father Flanagan was Executive Director until 1948 when he died while on a mission to post-World War II Europe for President Harry S Truman. He suffered a massive heart attack in Berlin, Germany, where he died at the age of 61.
  2. Harry S. Truman -- President John
    August 1, 1946 - President Harry S. Truman signed the Atomic Energy Act, created The Atomic Energy Commission, transferred the control of atomic energy from military to civilian hands. Almost a year after World War II ended, Congress established the United States Atomic Energy Commission to foster and control the peace time development of atomic science and technology. The National Laboratory system was established from the facilities created under the Manhattan Project, and Argonne National Laboratory was one of the first laboratories authorized under this legislation as a contractor-operated facility dedicated to fulfilling the new Commission's mission.
  3. Harry Lauter
    Harry Lauter is the epitome of a character actor. He had a long and varied career, was a familiar face in film and on TV but most don't know his name. He began in film in the late forties. Working mostly for Columbia Pictures, he appeared in such B films as Jungle Patrol (1948), Tuscan (1948), Apache Country (1952), and Marshall's Daughter (1953).
  4. Cousteau -- World
    Before the echolocation abilities of porpoises were discovered, Cousteau suggested that they might exist. In his first book, The Silent World (1953, pp. 206-207), he reported that his research vessel, the Élie Monier, was heading to the Straits of Gibraltar and noticed a group of porpoises following them. Cousteau changed course a few degrees off the optimal course to the center of the strait, and the porpoises followed for a few minutes, then diverged toward mid-channel again. It was evident that they knew where the optimal course lay, even if the humans did not. Cousteau concluded that the cetaceans had something like sonar, which was a relatively new feature on submarines.
  5. Robert Hooke -- Springs
    Robert Hooke was an Anglican. His father and three brothers were all Anglican clergymen. Hooke himself was expected to become an Anglican clergyman, but was unable to do so because of poor health.
  6. North Korea
    The Japanese daily reports that "North Korea is believed to have used plutonium from its Yongbyong reactor" in making the bomb that was exploded yesterday. It ... notes that "[a]n agreement with the United States in October 1994 shut down Yongbyong, but North Korea announced in 2003 that it had pulled out of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty," then started up the Yongbyong facility once more. It went on to process plutonium for bomb-making purposes. Now, experts say, North Korea has enough plutonium "to make from four to 13 nuclear weapons." Should the Bush administration have taken action back in 2003, or was it too distracted by its big, costly boondoggle in Iraq?
  7. Jeb Bush -- United States
    Jeb Bush has put Roy Cales in charge of a new state Technology Office, with 1,760 technology employees and a $600 million annual budget. There's only one problem: Cales is an admitted embezzler. Cales' position as technology czar presumably puts him in charge of election technology, which would allow him to conduct more illegal felon purges and manipulate the results of computerized vote counting. Florida beware!
  8. Silent Storm
    Silent Storm, like a lot of turn-based games, is set in WWII. The game allows you to control a small squad of elite commandos through a variety of challenging missions.

Prior to starting a mission you'll be able to choose your team members and equip them as well as possible.
