	Events (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		On the other hand, because linguistic expressions of facts are semantically transparent, a Fregean line of argument could be concocted to show instead that events construed as facts are too coarse-grained, to the point of melting into a single "big" entity [Davidson 1967a].
		In particular, a difference in the relevant constitutive property is sufficient to distinguish events such as Caesar's death, construed as Caesar's exemplification of the property of dying, and Caesar's violent death, construed as his exemplification of the property of dying violently [Kim 1976].
		On the other hand, it is not clear that the indeterminacy is any worse in the case of events than in the case of objects, and we seem able to theorize in a systematic fashion about them [Lombard 1998].

		They perished, along with many other ordinary Jews who we as shocked about the Zaddakite belief-system as we are today, but their agenda survived, and was revived in the program of Christian salvationism.
		Or, to put it the other way around, Christian religion is the full-blown, pandemic virus that mutated from a minute dose (in biological terms, a "vector") incubated in the rabid, hate-driven, apocalyptic visions of the Zaddikim.

	Alfred North Whitehead (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		It was during this time that he worked on more general issues in philosophy, including the development of a comprehensive metaphysical system which has come to be known as process philosophy.
		The first is that all mathematical truths can be translated into logical truths or, in other words, that the vocabulary of mathematics constitutes a proper subset of the vocabulary of logic.
		The second is that all mathematical proofs can be recast as logical proofs or, in other words, that the theorems of mathematics constitute a proper subset of the theorems of logic.

	SIGHTINGS
		In courts of law, so-called "deathbed confessions" are accorded special weight and consideration from other testimony because of the belief that when a person knows that he or she is checking out for good, that person will want, in the end, to have consciences cleared and truth to be his or her lasting legacy.
		As participants in the Roswell events of 1947 expire at an increasing rate, it should be expected that we encounter more confessions of the "deathbed" variety as time passes, and such is indeed the case.

	Cardiac Deaths After a Mass Smallpox Vaccination Campaign --- New York City, 1947
		The same NYCBOH strain was used in 1947 to vaccinate approximately six million New York City (NYC) residents (80% of the population) during a 4-week period (April 4--May 2) after a smallpox outbreak (Figure 1).
		In addition, the 1947 vaccination campaign encouraged residents to participate regardless of health status, whereas the first wave of the 2003 campaign targeted only military, health-care, and emergency response professionals, all of whom were screened for noncardiac health problems and contraindications to vaccination.
		If a greater proportion of those vaccinated in 1947 were revaccinees compared with those vaccinated in 2003, and if previous vaccination reduced the risk for subsequent cardiac mortality, the 1947 findings would underestimate the risk for cardiac death after vaccination in 2003.

	The Idea of Socialist Europe by Marceau Pivert 1947
		Through its parliamentary group, under the unforgettable leadership of James Maxton, in its press and brochures, that clear-sighted socialist vanguard translated the demands of a society that was racing to suicide and the aspirations of all those workers who had remained faithful to proletarian internationalism.
		In London in February 1947 the idea of a socialist solution to international problems posed on a European scale went largely beyond those narrow circles of socialist revolutionaries who had maintained their ties as best they could amidst the terrible difficulties of Nazi counter-revolution and the war.
		In June 1947, in Paris and Montrouge, the circle of protagonists of the Federation of the United Socialist States of Europe and for the socialist planning of its key industries grew considerably.
