Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons for the baseball strike of 1994 to 1995 and its economic impact ton the baseball field and related industries.
From the Paper
"The reasons for the strike were both complicated and virtually all economic. They all connected to one of two issues: the owners wanted to find an equitable way to distribute some profits to struggling teams in smaller markets, and in the process, they wanted to use some funds that in the past had been the players?. The management?s proposed solution (redistribution of some profits) was not a perfect plan as not all smaller teams faced financial difficulties (Staudohar, 1997)."

The Pre Civil War Republicans in Literature, 1995.
This study compares pre-Civil War Republicans' indictment of slavery, slaveholding society, and the South, as presented in Eric Foner's "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men: The Ideology of the Republican Party Before the Civil War", with Harriet Beecher Stow

From the Paper
"This study will compare and contrast the Republicans' indictment of slavery, slaveholding society, and the South, as presented in Eric Foner's "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men: The Ideology of the Republican Party Before the Civil War", with Harriet Beecher Stowe's indictment of the same entities in her novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin". The essential position of the study is that the Republicans' indictment is based on practical, pragmatic, and economic grounds, while Stowe's indictment is based on ethics, religion and passion.
It will be the additional argument of the study that racism, religion and "small-r" republican ideology played differing roles, with these differences in part shaped by gender contrasts. That is, Stowe's womanhood, it can be fairly argued, allowed her to consider the ethical and religious issues involved in slavery."

Republicans After Watergate, 2002.
An essay on the return of the Republicans to office despite the Watergate scandal.

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons that the Republican Party was able to recapture the White house after the scandal of Watergate only four years after Jimmy Carter took office. It shows that a growing resentment against ostensible big government, coupled with Carter?s perceived and/or actual ineffectualness on a range of national and international issues doomed him to a one term presidency. In 1980, the collapse of detente with the Soviet Union, rampant inflation, and the unresolved fate of American captives in Iran doomed the Carter administration and energized the candidacy of Ronald Reagan.
From the Paper
"Jimmy Carter?s four year campaign to become President resulted in Cater narrowly being voted into office with 48% of the popular vote. 1 Gerald Ford, the unelected President who had pardoned Richard Nixon for his alleged crimes, won 27 states to Carter?s 23 but Carter secured 297 electoral votes to Carter?s 240. He had entered politics as an outsider .2 While in Georgia Carter's first political success was in defeating the efforts of South Georgia politicians to steal his state senate election away from him."

Abstract
This paper concludes that the reason that the Radical Republicans' plan for reconstruction lacked moderation and consideration of social and economic issues in the South during the Reconstruction Period.
From the Paper
"On April 9, 1865 the American Civil War came to an end and one week later on April 15th President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Andrew Johnson assumed the presidency. During this week the United States entered a period of uncertainty. The Radical Republicans in Congress, a growing force since the 1860 Election, attempted to fill this void to lead the country through the Reconstruction process. The Radical Republicans typically came from New England states or parts of Northern states with a substantial immigrant population from New England. They shared such common factors as a strong grass-root constituency, a strong moral disdain for slavery, and a desire for equality. The Radical Republicans were a single issue group, favoring natural, civil, and political equality for the freedmen. The Radical Republicans went to extremes to achieve complete equality with white citizens for the freedmen. French newspaper writer, Georges Clemenceau, observed that the Radical Republicans, ?embarked on the abolitionist sea without any clear idea of where their course would lead? (Foner, 229). At the end of Reconstruction, the Radical Republicans would view their efforts as a failure. In the words of W.E.B. Du Bois, ?the slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery? (Foner, 602). The Radical Republicans? would realize in the end that their goal of total equality for the freedmen could not be achieved, because of the lack of moderation in Congress, unresolved social issues and unaddressed economic issues in the South."

From the Paper
" The 1992 Republican presidential campaign was unsuccessful, and clearly its persuasive techniques were inadequate to overcome the perception that President Bush was not able to cope with the domestic problems that most concerned Americans. At the same time, he was seen as better able to cope with foreign affairs than was his opponent, Bill Clinton, but in a time of recession when there was no war in which America was directly involved, the domestic agenda held more sway than did foreign concerns. The campaign in 1988 had been successful in painting Michael Dukakis as incompetent in the face of rising crime, and the infamous Willie Horton ad (though not produced by the campaign) had been one of the persuasive techniques used to accomplish this and to make George Bush seem the candidate able to address this concern. In 1992, the Republican campaign centered on several images and.."

The 2004 Republican National Presidential Convention, 2004.
This paper discusses the keynote address by Senator Zell Miller, a Democrat from Georgia, supporting the Republican Presidential candidate, George W. Bush, at the 2004 Republican National Presidential Convention.

Abstract
This paper explains that Democrat Senator Zell Miller's keynote address, supporting the Republican Presidential candidate, George W. Bush, at the 2004 Republican National Presidential Convention was a political and message crisis, an event that negatively affects a presidential campaign while skewing the Democratic party's proposed public image and message. The author points out that Miller, speaking of his family throughout the entire speech, expressed his worries for the future of America and the need for a strong leader who is not afraid to do what he thinks is right, even if that means going against most of the world. The paper relates that Miller viewed Democratic candidate John Kerry as a weak leader, who is incapable of using our military properly and efficiently, and whose strategies for solving the problems facing the country today, mainly terrorism, are lacking in aggressiveness and will not work.
From the Paper
"The message crisis will be expressed in different ways based upon the varying media sources. More liberal media and the Democratic Party will distort Sen. Miller's speech and present it as an older angry southern senator who is so conservative that his views are not that important or valid. The conservative media and the Republican Party however, will use Sen. Miller as a focal point, showing that a distinguished, experienced, knowledgeable democrat, seeing the reality of threats to our nation, and fear of the safety of his family, backs the Republican nominee, not the Democratic one."

Abstract
When Congressman J.D Hayworth of the Republican party lost his campaign to fellow-Republican Deborah Pryce, he believed that it was due to the fact that her campaign was helped by the Democrats electing another woman, Nancy Pelosi as their leader and her nomination as the first woman Speaker nominee. This paper questions whether unqualified minorities are unfairly promoted over more qualified majorities in the House Republican Party to try to promote an image of diversity. It questions too whether Pryce really more qualified to be the Republican Conference Chairman then Hayworth or others. By creating a baseline for how a member of Congress could rise into a House Leadership post, this paper examines how minority Republican and Democratic members of leadership have been elected into leadership, with a special focus on comparing Pryce and Pelosi. This analysis also proves that while minority Republicans are encouraged more often than non-minorities to run for a leadership post, a majority of the time the minorities that are elected are qualified for their posts.
From the Paper
"Hoops? guidelines can generate an effective roadmap for any Member of Congress that is interested in becoming a leader among leaders, but it can also serve as a tool of analysis. Six out of the seven Members of Congress that were examined in this thesis fit Hoops? guidelines and were or are successful leaders in the House. The only one did not fulfill these criteria, Watts, was an unscuessful leader. The elections of Nancy Pelosi as the House Democratic Minority Leader and Deborah Pryce as the House Republican Conference Chairman were not because of their gender, but because of their qualifications. Their elections may have been historic, but they were well earned, thus it can be concluded that while the House Republican Party has at times attempted to promote minorities over majorities, these minority candidates are just a qualified if not more qualified than their majority counterparts to leader. This conclusion is proven and supported by Hoops? guidelines."

"CHIAPAS REBELLION
This research paper describes and analyzes the Chiapas rebellion in Mexico in 1994-1995, what happened and why and the consequences. This outbreak of violence in the state of Chiapas did not represent a spontaneous indigenous uprising nor did it represent a serious military threat to the Federal government; however, because of when and where it occurred and its aftereffects, including the government's reaction and other events, it helped accelerate political change in Mexico and reflected the severe economic and social stresses which were associated with the economic restructuring and modernization of the country.
Uprising and Reactions

Republicanism, 2002.
Explores the creation of the Republican movement in early American political history.

Abstract
Republicanism was a unique movement in the United States. In light of later progressive and suffrage movements, it does not seem unusual to us that people would use an ideology such as abolitionism as the sole basis for the formation of a political party, or that this party could garnish popular support in the majority of the country. The paper shows, however, that the Republicans predicated their zeal on the same sentiments that had provoked many to fight in the American Revolution 70 or 80 years before. The paper traces the Republican movement from its formation in Jackson, Michigan in 1854 up until Abraham Lincoln was nominated as the first Republican President in 1860.
From the Paper
"Among the most vocal abolitionists were to be found on the East coast. Many families had participated in the ?underground railroad? that allowed black families to escape from the south to freedom in Canada. Abolitionist literature abounded: Harriet Beecher Stowe?s Uncle Tom?s Cabin became the first book in American history to outsell the Bible in the early 1850?s and gained sympathy for the plight of the American negro slave. Whereas the Whigs had enjoyed broad based appeal, Republicans were ideologically driven to fight slavery. In the presidential campaign of 1856 the Republicans heralded their candidate, John C. Fr?mont, with the chant, "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Speech, Free Men, Fr?mont." "

From the Paper
"Recent years have seen a great deal of merger and acquisition (M&A)activity in the banking industry, a result of deregulation and the desire of thrifts to take advantage of the ability to establish interstate operations. The financial institutions involved argue that the move toward consolidation will result in economies of scale and savings being passed on to consumers, but consumer advocates argue that there will be a reduction in the level of service provided to customers and eventually, because of a lack of competition, an increase in costs to consumers. This research examines the environment which has led to the mergers, several recent mergers which have occurred and considers the cost-cutting arguments put forth by the thrift industry."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the history of the early Republican and Federalist parties and the birth of the Republican party. The ideologies and inspirations of the Republican party are examined. The writer describes how the Republican party tried to keep the core of moral Protestant values. Further, the writer explains that all the political ideals were built around the ideal of a moral republic - and this conceptual frame shaped the attitude towards slave owners, towards the working class problems and its protection and towards the economic development suggested path. The writer identifies in this paper the roots of the Republican doctrine.
From the Paper
"After the country became independent from the British rule and the colonial government changed into a "local" one, the political parties started to gain more and more importance in the political life, as the civic and political culture of the American people was more and more divided by the problem of slavery. Hence, to approach them chronologically, the initial period after independence was dominated by the early Republican and Federalist parties, mainly formed as a consequence of the need for an organized political life. Centred around the birth and the formation of the young republic, they were spread nationwide and had a sound organizational structure for that time. They had a strong ideological core, because of the specific circumstances of their formation (the creation of a national political arena and of a national government) and thanks to the strong opinionated leaders, who were trying to use the power of governing to shape the character of the state."

Abstract
This paper considers the interdependence of republicanism and the birth of institutions in the young nation of America. It looks at the emergence of a new way of thinking in the colonists' minds before the Declaration of Independence and attempts to understand why the Articles of Confederation failed to unit the young nation under a Republican government. It also examines to what extent Constitution-making was the achievement of a clearly established definition of republicanism.
From the Paper
" The philosophers of Enlightenment - as this term suggests - tried to get right to the bottom of natural and social state and to give a proper definition to the best instance of government. In order to do it, they studied for instance Athenian democracy and Roman Republic: the former governed by the people, the latter by a triumvirate. From these reflections, new ideologies were born such as liberalism or republicanism. And we will try see to what extent this second ideology, that of republicanism played a role in the constitution-making of the United States, and even, previously, in the Declaration of Independence and the Revolution surrounding it.

Abstract
The general theory of republicanism is presented. The conceptualization of republicanism discussed within the paper as an American political philosophy is based on "The Federalist Papers" written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison in 1787. Initially, a brief overview of relevant background information on The Federalist Papers is provided. This is then followed by a discussion of the primary components of republicanism as set forth within the works of Hamilton, Jay and Madison. A summary and conclusions are then provided.
From the Paper
"The Federalist Papers have been suggested as representing one of the most important writing in American political thought (Yarbrough, 1986). It represents a collection of 85 letters written by Hamilton, Jay and Madison under the pseudonym of Publius. The letters were written to the American public and were initially published in a series fashion in the newspapers of New York City. As explained by Rossiter (1961), the papers were written by the three authors for the purposes of influencing the ratification of the Constitution. Yarbrough further clarified that the motivation for the papers emerged after the Federal Convention concluded its session on September 17 1787 after deliberating and compromising for a period of four months on the Constitution. At the closing of its session, the Federal Convention forwarded the proposed Constitution to Congress with the stipulation that nine states would need to ratify it before it could go into effect. As noted by Yarbrough, Alexander Hamilton who was a New York delegate to the Convention and represented one of the Constitution?s most ardent advocates recognized the importance of New York in securing the ratification of the Constitution. New York was the seat of the Articles of Confederation and was believed to have a pivotal influence in relation to the New England states as well as to other states. He sought out the assistance of Jay and Madison in pursuing the hurried writing of The Federalist Papers as a means of gaining the support of the people of New York in ratifying the Constitution while educating them as to the significance and meaning of the Constitution in the establishment a system of government within America.

Abstract
The 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993) is discussed in this paper. Firstly, a full examination of its form (materials, shapes, patterns, scale, color) and its function are explained. The paper then provides a brief look at background information that addresses the design principles from the stylistic period in which it originates. Thereafter the paper traces the historical influences within the automotive field that help shape the 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993). The paper looks at other influences on the design of the 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993) from the design of planes and submarines from the same time period. Finally, the paper presents a personal critique on the design including how its form functions. The paper includes pictures.
From the Paper
"The 911 is the signature and most recognizable Porsche ever to be designed. It has been on the market for over 30 years, has encompassed over 50 different models and it is still counting . The 911, initially called the 901 but soon after changed because Peugeot had patented all 3 digit combinations with zero in the middle , was originally designed in 1963 to replace the first Porsche ever designed, the 356. The 1948 356 Roadster will be used, along with the 1963 Porsche 911, to conduct a diachronic analysis on the design influences present on the 1995 911 Porsche (Type 993). The Type 993 was very consistent in its production between 1993 and 1996 with only minor adjustments to some components, therefore the 1995 edition of the Porsche 911 (Type 993) was chosen for the design project examination. The synchronic analysis will focus on relating how both the overall line and components of the Type 993 911 relate to aerodynamic/hydrodynamic design of planes and submarines. As for the components that will be analyzed, they will include the integrated headlamps compared to train engines and the rear-spoiler to the tail fin of fish."
