  • Chiricahuas Present a Verdant, Forested Island in a Sea of Desert
    Rising steeply from the dry grasslands of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, the Chiricahuas present a verdant, forested island in a sea of desert. Many species of trees, shrubs, and flowering herbs clothe steep canyon walls. Shady glens, alive with birds, are sheltered by rows of strange massive spires, turrets, and battlements in this fascinating wonderland of rocks. Story of the rocks-What geological forces created these striking and peculiar pinnacles and balanced rocks? Geolo- gists explain that millions of years ago volcanic activity was extensive throughout this region. A series of explosive eruptions, alternating with periods of inactivity, covered the area with layers of white-hot volcanic ash that welded into rock. Because the eruptions varied in magnitude, the deposits were of different thicknesses. Finally, the eruptions ceased, followed by movements in the earth's crust which slowly lifted and tilted great rock masses to form mountains. The stresses responsible for the movements caused a definite pattern of cracks. Along the vertical cracks and planes of horizontal weakness, ero- sion by weathering and running water began its persistent work. Cracks were widened to form fissures; and fissures grew to breaches. At the same time, under-cutting slowly took place. Gradually the lava masses were cut by millions of ero- sional channels into blocks of myriad sizes and shapes, to be further sculptured by the elements. Shallow canyons became deeper and more rugged as time passed. Weathered rock formed soil, which collected in pockets; and plants thus gained a foothold. Erosion is still going on slowly and persistently among the great pillared cliffs of the monument.

  • The Da Vinci Code Phenomenon: a Brief Overview and Response
    THE DA VINCI CODE PHENOMENON: A BRIEF OVERVIEW AND RESPONSE J.B. HIXSON Assistant Academic Dean College of Biblical Studies Houston, Texas I. INTRODUCTION Dan Brown’s book, The Da Vinci Code,1 gives a fictional account of a Harvard researcher named Robert Langdon. In the story, Langdon is called upon to analyze Leonardo Da Vinci’s work and decode its hidden mysteries. What he uncovers is an elaborate scheme of secret societies, religious conspiracies, and centuries old cover ups. His investigation does not sit well with the religious establishment and he quickly becomes a marked man. So goes the plot of this entertaining and influential novel. Dan Brown’s novel has generated no shortage of analysis. To date, the Code has been cracked, broken, solved, decoded, exposed, scruti- nized, dismantled and otherwise deftly refuted in at least thirteen pub- lished books and hundreds more electronic articles on various websites.2 1 Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code: A Novel (New York: Doubleday, 2003). 2 See Richard Abanes, The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code (Eugene, OR: Harvest House Publishers, 2004); Darrell L.

  • United States Army Scouts: the Southwestern
    3-/71 UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUTS: THE SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIENCE, 1866-1890 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Carol Conley Nance, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 Nance, Carol Conley, United States Army Scouts: The Southwestern Experience, 1866-1890. Master of Arts (History), May, 1975, 156 pp., 4 maps, bibliography, 107 titles. In the post-Civil War Southwest, the United States Army utilized civilians and Indians as scouts. As the mainstay of the reconnaissance force, enlisted Indians excelled as trackers, guides, and fighters. General George Crook became the foremost advocate of this service. A little-known aspect of the era was the international controversy created by the activities of native trackers under the 1882 recipro- cal hot pursuit agreement between Mexico and the United States. Providing valuable information on Army scouts are numerous government records which include the Annual Report of the Secretary of War from 1866 to 1896 and Foreign Relations of the United States for 1883 and 1886. Memoirs, biographies, and articles in regional and national histori- cal journals supplement government documents. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MAPS . iv Chapter I.

  • In Defense of the American Surveillance State
    IN DEFENSE OF THE AMERICAN SURVEILLANCE STATE Dr. Gabriel Schoenfeld* ABSTRACT The term “American surveillance state” is something that has come into use by fierce critics of U.S. government counterterrorism efforts, efforts that necessarily contain surveillance as a critical element. A body of opinion has emerged arguing that thanks to the ubiquitous eyes of the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, and thanks also to the widespread distribution of myriad new forms of surveillance technology, privacy in America is being destroyed and George Orwell’s dark vision of Big Brother is on its way to realization. This Article rejects this characterization, and asserts that current counterterrorism efforts are an effective and appropriate response to ongoing threats. While history teaches us the government may at times overstep its bounds, even in today’s current national security climate the U.S. government’s approach is less intrusive than it has been in the past and is critical for protecting the safety of the American people.
