Tory Generally, the Tories were associated with lesser gentry and the Church of England, while Whigs were more associated with trade, money, larger land holders (or "land magnates"), expansion and tolerance. Writers such as Percy Bysshe Shelley, Leigh Hunt, William Hazlitt, Thomas Babington Macaulay and Charles Dickens all received hostile reviews in the journal, whereas the work of Jane Austin and Sir Walter Scott was warmly praised. Applied by their opponents to Parliamentary supporters of the ministries of Lord North (1770–1782) and the younger William Pitt (1783–1801), the term came to represent the political current opposed to the Whigs and the radicalism unleashed by the American and French Revolutions. omniknow.com /essays/Tory.html   (3736 words)

a guide to Prince Rupert, British Columbia - ExploreNorth For land-based travellers, or those aboard the ferries and smaller ships that include Prince Rupert on their tours, it provides the opportunity to see what a coastal community is really like. Prince Rupert is no longer on the itinerary of the huge cruise ships that ply the Inside Passage to Alaska, and although that has negative consequences for the economy of the city, it has resulted in the community having a very different personality than the ports where the ships do call. One of the features of Prince Rupert that I find the most charming is that there are fascinating little "corners" everywhere. www.explorenorth.com /library/communities/canada/princerupert.html   (867 words)

Gatherings, 2004   Cowboy Poetry at the BAR-D Ranch   www.CowboyPoetry.com Rupert, ID. Sugar beet trucks busily lumbered along the highway of the Snake River Plains with anticipation of an early winter on a recent overcast November morning. As harsh as this land looks, the flood plain soil is fertile and there grows the potato that made Idaho famous.

Cop Land (1997) : Directed by James Mangold, reviewed by Nick Burton Structured like a Western, Cop Land is a generally excellent work that stars Sylvester Stallone as Freddy Heflin, a bulky, sleepy -eyed sheriff of Garrison, New Jersey, a small town across the George Washington Bridge from big bad New York City, where his biggest concern seems to be avoiding deer crossings. When crooked cop Harvey Keitel hides his cop nephew in the small town after a controversial incident, the sleepy town comes alive, and Internal Affairs man DeNiro (looking alarmingly like his King Of Comedy character, Rupert Pupkin) and coke-head cop Liotta open Freddy's eyes to his surroundings. Written and directed by James Mangold, this is a sober, intelligent, atmospheric film whose central High Noon -like conceit of the loner against the corrupt bad guys is as old as the hills, yet the film manages to tread the well worn ground with dignity. www.pifmagazine.com /SID/342   (264 words)
