A man who does not want to be named once said “Two World Wars have already been achieved, and the Third and final World War envisions an attack on Iraq, Iran and/or Syria as being the trigger to set the entire Middle East into fiery conflagration. Once America is firmly entrenched into the Middle East with the majority of her first-line units, North Korea is to attack South Korea. Then, with America’s forces stretched well beyond the limit, China is to invade Taiwan. This will usher in the start of World War Three.(_____)

1. When it was first developed, the F4U Corsair was fitted “with a two-stage supercharger for the prototype XF4U-1 Corsair. The R-2800 Pratt-Whitney engine was the most powerful engine in the world in 1940, exceeding 100 hp (74.6 kW) per cylinder for each of its 18 cylinders” (Swihnart).
2. Because of the huge prop combined with the need for short landing gear, engineers for the airplane “came up with the distinctive inverted gull-wing design which forever characterized the F4U Corsair. This “bent wing” design allowed the huge prop to clear the deck while providing for a short, stout landing gear” (Swihnart).
P.S. I coulld not find a non-.com website with as much info, so I used aviation-history.com.

Topic- Abstract epressionism
“In speaking about how he develops his paintings, Robert Barnes says they begin with dreams, then he makes a single mark, and afterward lets loose “a battle of masses of different weights and values.” He adds that he doesn’t allow any imagery to enter for some time, holding it off as long as possible. In fact, he doesn’t draw as a practice to inform his work, describing the process as “memorizing the things I need, rather than actually sketching them.” Barnes, who emerged as a painter under the twin spells of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, has pursued this dynamic, intuitive approach to picture making since the 1950s, conjuring images of haunting power and lavish surfaces.” (Parks).
“Abstract Expressionism had developed into three areas by 1948. “Action” painting described the work of Pollock, de Kooning, and Franz Kline. Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Clyfford Still were being referred to as “Color-Field” painters. Artists such as Gottlieb, Motherwell, and Philip Guston were not easily categorized but belonged to the movement as a whole. All shared certain traits. They were generally not figurative painters. They were artists who looked inward, influenced by modern ideas regarding psychology, myth, and dreams.” (Visual Arts in the 1940s).

The holocaust will for ever be known as one of the worst mass murders in history.
“The Holocaust is a central event in many people’s lives, but it also has become a metaphor for our century. There cannot be an end to speaking and writing about it. Besides, in Israel, everyone carries a biography deep inside him.” – Aharon Appelfeld
…Jews … have been unable to absorb the experience of the Holocaust, have not learned how to transcend the catastrophe. They’ve mistakenly thought that to transcend means to forget the past, that to think about the present is to abandon the past. That too is a painful mistake, a grave mistake for Jews in America, because it’s kept many of them from universalizing their experience, from joining with others who have experienced oppression—not perhaps an exact duplication of Jewish oppression, but nevertheless oppression.
