A Gazetteer of the State of Massachusetts The statistics of this edition are from the State census for 1885 (the last volume of which was issued in June of the present year) or from later sources, as, in part, from the clerks of the towns and cities. The bowlders which cover the surface of the State were deposited in the glacial period, marks of which may be distinctly traced in the scratching of the ledges from the shore of the ocean to the summit of the mountains. In the early settlement of the State, the people were greatly annoyed by the depredations of the fl and brown bear and the wolf, which ranged the deep forests, and often came by night to prey upon the cattle in the clearings. www.capecodhistory.us /Mass1890/MassachusettsGazetteer.htm   (9999 words)

Documents 414 through 432 The United States should maintain the legal position that the principles of international law and the UN Charter apply to activities in outer space and, specifically, that outer space is free, as are the high seas. The basic objection to the present United States position of willingness to consider a separate outer space agreement appears to rest primarily on the argument that discussion of a separate agreement might involve the United States, to its tactical disadvantage, in a public airing of the satellite reconnaissance issue. The United States Delegation to the UN Legal Subcommittee on Outer Space recommended in its report that a further approach be made to the Soviets on questions of outer space law prior to the September 1963 session of the parent UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. www.state.gov /r/pa/ho/frus/kennedyjf/xxv/6025.htm   (15187 words)

Stuart Blumin - The Civic "World We Have Lost"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) In New York State, for example, where partisan organization for local elections was perhaps most thoroughly developed, nominating caucuses typically were held on the Saturday evening preceding the Tuesday election, leaving the parties and candidates only Monday and election day (overt politicking was taboo on the Sabbath) to make their pitch. Many of the men examined by state legislative committees inquiring into disputed elections testified that they did not examine their tickets, and that they did not know the names of the men they had voted for. Maryland is one of the few states for which a good series of election records have been found and studied, and the results (high voter turnouts and consistently partisan electoral behavior) do not support the dominant interpretation. www.mtsu.edu /~seig/paper_s_blumin.html   (4836 words)
