  JAMES MONROE AND THE THREE-TO-FIVE CLAUSE OF THE NORTHWEST ORDINANCE
Monroe's argument was that these areas were poor and would slow down settlement in the projected states which would in turn never reach the population requirement of the ordinance.

 Munroe effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Munroe effect refers to the partial focussing of blast energy caused by a hollow or void cut into a piece of explosive, a property which is exploited by a shaped charge.
In 1910, Egon Neumann of Germany discovered that TNT containing a conical indentation would cut through a metal plate which would normally only be dented by that quantity of explosive.
However, the military usefulness of this effect was not appreciated until the Second World War, the first application possibly being the British No.

 Monroe makes most of his limited swings
The manager put Monroe in the lineup against left-hander Mark Redman on Wednesday night, and he said the reason was that Monroe had homered Tuesday.
Monroe, 27, took a slower, less-stressful approach to the plate for that homer Tuesday night.
Monroe said he changed to the calmer approach because, he said, he was suffering from the same malady as teammates Carlos Pena and Eric Munson: "We're all trying to do too much, and it starts working against you."

 World Almanac for Kids
MONROE DOCTRINE, statement of U.S. policy on the activities and rights of European powers in the western hemisphere, made by President James Monroe in his seventh annual address to the U.S. Congress on Dec. 2, 1823; it eventually became one of the foundations of U.S. policy in Latin America.
Because it was not supported by congressional legislation or affirmed in international law, Monroe’s statement initially remained only a declaration of policy; its increasing use and popularity elevated it to a principle, specifically termed the Monroe Doctrine for the first time after the mid-1840s.
Roosevelt’s corollary to the Monroe Doctrine justified subsequent U.S. intervention in Caribbean states during the administrations of Presidents William Taft and Woodrow Wilson.

 The Sporting News Archives - Joe and Marilyn: Sports and Hollywood were never the same
Monroe was a relative novice in her field, an insecure, vulnerable, even childlike Fox studio starlet with a horizon full of promise but little respect, while DiMaggio was a retired baseball giant -- pardon me, Yankee -- who had set records and achieved a level of celebrity that few in any field could ever claim.
In retrospect, DiMaggio and Monroe were stars almost fated to have collided and burned out against the lazy backdrop of the postwar years, when baseball was the clear national pastime and Hollywood, despite the killer-bee invasion of television, still reigned as the world capital of entertainment.
When Monroe died in 1962, it was DiMaggio who stepped up to the plate and made all the decisions and arrangements for her burial, which included his pre-paid order for fresh flowers for decades to come.

 Roosevelt_Corollary
The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was an "amendment" to the Monroe Doctrine by Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States from 1901 to 1909.
In effect, the Monroe Doctrine was now used not only for its original purpose of keeping out European hegemony in Latin America but also as an agency for expanding U.S. commercial interests in the region.
In his address to Congress on December 6, 1904, he claimed that the United States had the right not only to oppose European intervention in the Western Hemisphere but to intervene itself in the domestic affairs of its neighbors if those neighbors proved unable to protect U.S. investments in the region on their own.
