...White House china, it should be noted that an American company, Lenox, in constant competition with fine china manufacturers overseas, received a hefty order, thereby helping the economy. Further, critics who decry the tax deductions do not acknowledge that private individuals were paying to decorate the White House. The excused tax portion was going directly to a good cause without the usual mishandling...
...naked eye, inanimate objects like a block of stone or a piece of metal appear totally lifeless. But scientists see a veritable cauldron of activity in the most passive-looking object. Its atoms and molecules are in constant motion, vibrating furiously, bumping into neighbors, reeling in every direction. Though imperceptible to human senses, this chaotic ballet is critically important. Not only does it determine the very nature of observed matter (what makes a stone a stone, for example), it controls what will happen when one substance is brought together with another...
...well, back to the Mississippi, where the French and the British waged constant warfare along their river boundary. In fact, the final battle of the Mississippi War took place as late as 1865.

Whites have long outearned non-whites, and Jewish familes in particular earn nearly three times as much as their Mexican and Black counterparts. Alarming economic inequalities hardly...
...very close-knit family. I don't think that the moving affected the kids that much. We were always in big cities, so that was a constant. But you know, I was a musician so that I could support my family; we had to move where there was work. That's part of show business, the moving. We're a show business family. There's my daughter, Talia Shire. And Francis. And my eldest son, who was a professor, is now writing novels. We're a family full of love...
