 Hieroglyphs and History at Copán
The large number of texts at Copán, nearly all on large stone stelae or altars, have given scholars a large amount of texts to be compared and studied, and these texts have played a significant role in the overall effort to break the Maya code.
A text is typically arranged in a grid-like fashion, or by a linear arrangement of the same square blocks that are a basic formal unit of the system.
This temple was conceived as the model of the primordial maize-sprouting mountain (wits) of Maya cosmology.

In a footnote to the history of this duel, the two Belgian.58 caliber pistols used by Broderick and Terry were sold at auction in San Francisco on November 25, 1998.
David C. Broderick, Senator of the United States from our State, died from the effect of a wound received in a duel, fought on Tuesday morning last, with David S. Terry, formerly Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pre-1773 History of the Jesuits
The history of the Jesuits in Italy was generally very peaceful.
Immediately after his coronation (1575), Henry III chose Father Auger for his confessor, and for exactly two hundred years the Jesuit court confessor became an institution in France, and as French fashions were then influential, every Catholic court in time followed the precedent.
The politico-religious history of the Society under Louis XIV centres round Jansenism (see JANSENIUS AND JANSENISM) and the lives of the king's confessors, especially Pères Annat (1845-60), Ferrier (1660-74), La Chaise (q.v.) (1674-1709), and Michel Le Tellier (q.v.) (1709-15).

 Homosexuals Get Short Shrift from the Supreme Court, But an Expert Says History Tells a Different Tale
The decision was applauded by fundamentalist groups as a move toward greater sexual morality, challenged by civil libertarians as a threat to the right of privacy and denounced by gay activists as a pretext for persecution of homosexuals.
To David F. Greenberg, 44, a professor of sociology at New York University, these disparate voices reflect society’s age-old ambivalence about the regulation of sexual behavior and of homosexuality in particular.

 That Barnes & Noble Dream - What's wrong with the David McCulloughs of history. By David Greenberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In short, professional historians select their areas of research not by looking at history but by surveying the historiography—the ongoing debates among scholars about what are often highly refined or technical points of a subject—and then staking out a new sliver of the established academic terrain.
The Barnes and Noble historian seems to treat history as a pageant of larger-than-life events and people to be marveled at, rather than a set of social, political, and cultural problems to engage.

To sit in a court for weeks on end and listen to Irving's endless insistence that fl is white and up is down would be enough to make the most patient among us feel as if we'd slipped into Bizarro world, and Lipstadt is clearly not a woman blessed with patience.
Long before she landed across the aisle from him in a British court, Lipstadt was fighting not only Irving's reputation as a reputable historian, but also the people who simply wanted to dismiss him as a crackpot.
And Lipstadt's deepest accomplishment in History on Trial is in the doggedness with which she drives home the danger of David Irving.

 The Pledge of Allegiance - Why we're not one nation "under God." By David Greenberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The record of the 1954 act shows that, far from a "de minimis" reference or a mere "backdrop" devoid of meaning, the words "under God" were inserted in the pledge for the express purpose of endorsing religion—which the U.S. Supreme Court itself ruled in 1971 was unconstitutional.
The appeals court decision came almost 40 years to the day after the Supreme Court decision in Engel v.
In that case, the court ruled it unconstitutional for public schools to allow prayer, even though the prayer was non-denominational and students were allowed abstain from the exercise.

 Powell's Books - History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving by Deborah E. Lipstadt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
History on Trial is Deborah Lipstadt's personal, riveting chronicle of the legal battle with Irving, in which she went from a relatively quiet existence as a professor at an American university to being a defendant in a sensational libel case.
Part history, part edge-of-your-seat courtroom drama, History on Trial goes beyond the historiography of World War II and the Holocaust to reveal the intricate way in which extremism and deliberate historical distortions gain widespread legitimacy and help generate hatred.
Lipstadt herself is a reluctant heroine, a feisty, outspoken woman forced to remain silent (she did not testify in court) and let her lawyers speak for her.

 High Court of Australia - About the High Court - History of the High Court
Although the High Court of Australia was established in 1901 by Section 71 of the Constitution, the appointment of the first Bench had to await the passage of the Judiciary Act in 1903.
From their first judgments, the Justices stamped the authority of the High Court over the State Supreme Courts and showed that the Court was a powerful and necessary arm of the newly-created Commonwealth of Australia.
The Great Depression had caused the workload of the High Court to decrease, and consequently there was a view in some areas of government that, in the interests of economy, the two vacancies on the High Court Bench should not be filled.
