Ho Chi Minh Tet Offensive
1,316 words
The Tet offensive was certainly the decisive
campaign of the war, but lost in these set of
battles was the real underlying reason why the
grossly underestimated NLF and North Vietnamese
army could actually succeed in this undermanned
set of attacks. I think the real success of this
campaign was not the effectiveness and the
planning of the NLF and NV army, but the lack of
preparation of the US forces. The NLF and NV army
have received too much credit on this suicide
mission. The credit should ac...

Side Of The Road Taco Bell

By Ray Kelly Sept. 20, 1998 I was truly beginning
to enjoy the wonderful fruits of life. Sports were
at a peak in my life. I loved my baseball and ice
hockey. School was winding down to the point where
everyone knows that junior year grades are the
most important out of all of your four years, and
I had to finish strong. Yet there was something
about the changing of the seasons, perhaps the
increasingly diminishing supply of threads that
the girls were covering their bodies with was a

H R Diagram Main Sequence Stars Absolute
527 words

fact is quite interesting. The H-R Diagram is
named for the two astronomers, Ear Hertzsprung and
Henry Russell, who discovered this pattern of
stars. These two astronomers independently
discovered that comparing magnitudes and spectral
class (color) of stars yielded a lot of
information about them. One key purpos...

Back And Forth Business Man

Through the steam of my coffee I could see a
miniature set of shiny red shoes swinging back and
forth underneath the counter at the diner. A
little girl had been sitting atop the red stool
since I had arrived, just sitting watching the
cook flip pancakes all morning long with a mature
sense of fascination. Up and down, and up and
down, over and over again, the batter always
formed into delicious solid creations, some with
blueberries, some with chocolate, some just plain
and simple. The cook spo...

Black Holes 000 Years

Do you think? When was the last time you really
sat down and thought about something? Was it a few
minutes ago or a few months ago? Our society is so
reliant on someone else thinking for them that we
have become a co-dependent culture. Did you watch
the news today? Was some guy on a killing spree? A
serial killer. Did you ever wonder if they felt
any mercy for the person as they killed them, each
one of them? Or maybe they were merciless and they
felt nothing. Or maybe, just maybe, they are a

instrumental in ensuring that the theme or tone
that he or she wishes to convey is in fact

Police Officer Long Ago

Charlotte Johnson, a kind and loving mother of
two, looked at the old barn and realized it would
soon fall down. It was in a terrible state of
repair. Its wooden foundation had long since
rotted away, and the building now leaned
unsteadily to one side. The boards, many of them
sun-bleached, were loose and old. Several of them
hung by only a single nail. Occasionally one of
the dangling boards would mutter in protest, and
then clatter noisily against its neighbors as it
was set in motion by the w...
