    NHB Regional Bee A JV Round 2 NHB REGIONAL BEE A JV 1. This man was depicted as the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz during his 1900 campaign for president. Tom Watson was the Populist pick to run with this man in 1896, but Arthur Sewall appeared on his Democratic ballot. This man argued for the prosecution against Clarence Darrow during the Scopes Trial and spoke against the Coinage Act, saying that “they shall not crucify mankind upon” the title object. For the point, name this American politician who vocally opposed the gold standard in his “Cross of Gold” speech. ANSWER: William Jennings Bryan 134-11-61-02101 2. One battle during this conflict saw Samuel Appleton drive off attackers who had burned down most of the buildings in Springfield. Another battle during this conflict ended when Josiah Winslow’s militia overran an Indian fort and was known as the Great Swamp Battle. This war ended when Benjamin Church killed the opposing side’s leader. For the point, name this war, which was fought between colonists and Native Americans led by a namesake Wampanoag chief. ANSWER: King Philip’s War [or Metacomet’s War; accept Metacomet’s Rebellion] 140-11-61-02102 3. This man opposed the New York political machine by appointing Wheeler Hazard Peckham to the Supreme Court. One movement during his term opposed the national roads program and was stopped on the grass of the Capitol. This man stopped another protest with federal troops because it was blocking the mail. Those events, Coxey’s Army and the Pullman Strike, were responses to the Panic of 1873 during his term.

  • M Organ's Voice
    Morgan’s Voice POEMS & STORIES Morgan Segal Copyright © 1997 by Robert Segal All rights reserved. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Segal, Morgan Morgan’s Voice Poems & Stories ISBN 0-9G62027-0-8 First Edition 1997 Designed by Riley Smith Printed in the United States of America by Pacific Rim Printers/Mailers 11924 W. Washington Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90066 Printed on acid-free, recycled paper. The gift of sharing so intimately in Morgan’s life, through her prose and poetry, is one all will commit to their hearts. Here are remembrances, emotionally inspired, of personal journeys through a landscape of experience that has been both tranquil and turbulent. Her poems are “pearls dancing,” shimmering like her own life in an all too brief sunlight; her stories portraits, at times fragile, at times triumphant in their will to witness lasting humaness. She is truly a talent and a presence too soon lost. -James Ragan, Poet Director, Professional Writing Program University of Southern California Morgan possessed a rare and beautiful soul. Those wide brown eyes of hers shone forth with a child’s curiosity and innocence. But her heart was the heart of woman who was haunted by unfathomable darkness. Morgan’s words are infused with depth, wisdom, honesty, courage and insight. Her descriptions reveal the intense thirst she had for even the most mundane aspects of life — a fingernail, the scale of a fish, a grandfather’s breath, a strand of hair. The attention she pays to details can help us to return to our lives with a renewed revereance for all the subtle miracles that surround us each moment.

    ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “But how are their decisions to be known?” 1 Johnson’s Reports iv CELEBRATING 200 Years of New York State Official Law Reporting “But how are their decisions to be known?” “ We must look . to our own courts, for those precedents which have the binding force of authority and law. But how are their decisions to be known? Must they float in the memories of those by whom they are pronounced, and the law, instead of being a fixed and uniform rule of action, be thus subject to perpetual fluctuation and change? No man doubts of the propriety or necessity of publishing the acts of the legislature. As the rights and interests of every individual may be equally affected by the decisions of our courts, one would naturally imagine, that it would be equally a matter of public concern, that they should be made known in some authentic manner to the community.” 1 Johnson’s Reports iv-v NEW YORK STATE ANNIVERSARY BOOKLET LAW REPORTING BUREAU COMMITTEE One Commerce Plaza, Suite 1750 Charles A.

  • The Common Law Powers of the New York State Attorney General
    THE COMMON LAW POWERS OF THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL Bennett Liebman* The role of the Attorney General in New York State has become increasingly active, shifting from mostly defensive representation of New York to also encompass affirmative litigation on behalf of the state and its citizens. As newly-active state Attorneys General across the country begin to play a larger role in national politics and policymaking, the scope of the powers of the Attorney General in New York State has never been more important. This Article traces the constitutional and historical development of the At- torney General in New York State, arguing that the office retains a signifi- cant body of common law powers, many of which are underutilized. The Article concludes with a discussion of how these powers might influence the actions of the Attorney General in New York State in the future.
