	Iraq Body Count \| Comment & Analysis
		A theoretically “perfect” count would require, at the very least, a totally accurate census of the Iraqi population on the eve of the war, and DNA profiling of each individual.
		On the last weekend of March the foreign minister Micheline Calmey-Rey was quoted as saying her ministry would publish a list of civilians killed in the Iraqi conflict and implied that Switzerland, as the depository state of the Geneva conventions, had a duty to draw attention to the innocent victims of the war.
		Covering civilian deaths recorded in the month between March 20 and April 20, the Associated Press Tally (#10) was restricted to 60 “accessible” hospitals (out of 124) throughout Iraq, and concluded that these hospitals recorded “at least” 3,240 civilians killed by the war.

		Historical figures including Llewellyn, his Norman wife Joan, their son David and the Norman lord William de Breos play significant secondary roles.

		Raedwald is one of the more likely candidates for the occupant of the magnificent Sutton Hoo ship burial, and Bede lists him among the Bretwaldas (approximately, over-king of Britain south of the Humber, although there is much scholarly argument over what the title meant in practice).

	AEJMC Archives -- September 2003, week 4 (#126)
		Perry (2001) adds historical perspective to explain the reaction of the Chinese government toward seemingly harmless Falun Gong appeals, claiming that the timing of the protest is not ideal to the Communist government.
		One article, for example, cited an official circular: The circular says that Marxist dialectic materialism and historical materialism represent the world outlook and methodology of the proletariat, and that the scientific theories of Marxism established on the basis of this worldview should serve as the spiritual pillar of communists.
		One article, for example, was headlined "59 cases of injury and death related to Falun Gong, reported in founder's home province" ("59 cases" July 26).

	Theology Today - Vol 50, No.3 - October 1993 - ARTICLE - Jesus in Historical Context
		Most scholars, however, maintain that Herod also built a theatre, an amphitheatre, and a hippodrome in or near Jerusalem, that he held quadrennial games at Jerusalem, and that once every four years Jerusalem was filled with gentile athletes, actors, gladiators, and spectators, celebrating the glory of Rome, its emperor, and its gods.
		Of the scholars just listed, Schalit drew the widest conclusions from the supposed establishment of games at Jerusalem, but even he did not mention the problem of idolatry.
		Lists in Josephus both praise and blame Herod for his gentile buildings, but gymnasia in his own territory are never mentioned.

	Project Censored Media democracy in action
		A plethora of reasons clearly exists to conclude that widespread and historic levels of fraud were committed in this election.
		And third, people who brought forth any of the evidence of fraud were dismissed as “spreadsheet-wielding conspiracy theorists” while mainstream media censored the vast majority of the evidence of fraud so that most Americans to this day have never heard a fraction of what was amiss.
		When I worked on Vicente Fox’s campaign in Mexico, for example, I was so fearful that the governing PRI would steal the election that I had the campaign commission two U.S. firms to conduct exit polls to be released immediately after the polls closed to foreclose the possibility of finagling with the returns.

	Indian, Chinese, & Japanese Emperors
		The only drawbacks to their historical priority were that India suffered a setback, when the Indus Valley Civilization collapsed (for disputed reasons), and China got started later than the Middle Eastern civilizations.
		It is certainly representative of the problems with Indian history that its own historical era dates an unknown event in a period, long after the beginning of Indian history, that itself is all but innocent of dates and historical evidence.
		Data like the list of Shang kings or the excavation of Shang royal tombs thus leaves us pretty much in the dark about historical events, though this is not much different from what is often the case with contemporary Egypt or Mesopotamia.

	AEJMC Archives -- October 1999, week 1 (#54)
		Discussion Public confidence in the news media seems to fluctuate and often depends on such external factors as historical events and social climate.[25] However, research has shown that mistrust of journalists and their motives has endured since the early 1960s.[26] Journalistic credibility continues to suffer in the 1990s.
		Public opinion polls have suggested that journalists are perceived as arrogant, biased and cynical; that they lack compassion; and that they have little or no respect for individual privacy.[27] In December 1998, the American Society of Newspaper Editors released results of a three-year credibility study that showed that public opinion of journalists continues to slide.
		In the end, the News Council died a dismal death trying to protect the rights of an institution that spurned its help.
