	Rishon Rishon: Yom Kipur
		Yom Kipur is often described as the most solemn day of the year, and it is. It is a time of introspection and atonement, which is why Egypt and Syria took advantage of this day to attack Israel in the Yom Kipur war.
		It is the other bookend to Rosh Hashana – the culmination of the Ten Days of Repentance (`Aseret Y’mey Hatshuva) which began on that day.
		Indeed, it is paired with Tu B’av as one of the happiest days of the year (There were no days so good for Israel as the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur – Ta`anit 4:8).

George Marshall, who briefed reporters to effect that the US would be at war no later than ten days into December, such was Washington's certainty, based on information it deliberately withheld from Kimmel.
		Day damns FDR and his ring, and indirectly it damns democracy, since its finest fruits have no faith that the peole should be given information and trusted to make decisions.
		The FDR Pearl Harbor conspiracy is outlined in the first four chapters of Day of Deceit; the rest of the book gives the gory details.

		Ten days later, Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum, a U.S. Naval officer in the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), saw an opportunity to counter the U.S. isolationist movement by provoking Japan into a state of war with the U.S., triggering the mutual assistance provisions of the Tripartite Pact, and bringing America into World War II.
		At least 1,000 Japanese military and diplomatic radio messages per day were intercepted by monitoring stations operated by the U.S. and her Allies, and the message contents were summarized for the White House.
		Amidst its omnibus provisions, the Act reverses the findings of nine previous Pearl Harbor investigations and finds that both Kimmel and Short were denied crucial military intelligence that tracked the Japanese forces toward Hawaii and obtained by the Roosevelt Administration in the weeks before the attack.

		The Ten Commandments monument at Chief Justice Roy Moore's Alabama State Judicial Building was dismantled and shuttled off to obscurity on August 27, the day the planet Mars, which bears the name of the mythical god of war, was ascendant in America's skies and "closer to earth than it has been in 60,000 years.".

	Amazon.com: Music: War of the Worlds [SOUNDTRACK]
		War of the Worlds culminates with "Escape from the Basket," in which Williams methodically builds tension over close to ten minutes.
		"The War of the Worlds," Spielberg-style, is a riveting, gut-wrenching, wholly one-of-a-kind science fiction colossus that puts the viewer into the story and leaves him as clueless as the characters in the film-- no scientist to explain things, no kindly professor to assess what "probably" is happening and why, no other unrealistic explanatory device.
		There are already mixed commentaries on both Steven Spielberg's new film "War of the Worlds" and the impressive score composed for it by the great John Williams.

		First published in 1909 and written at white hot intensity in ten days, this is the essential work for understanding Gandhi's doctrines, and the only one he translated himself from the original Gujarati into English.
		Gandhi trenchantly presents here all of his typical themes of national nonviolent struggle, his insistence that Indians must rule themselves internally to gain external freedom, and his denunciation of industrial civilization.
		Several major short writings are also included, notably his speech at the beginning of World War II that Britain "Quit India" at once in spite of the war, and his rejected draft constitution for the Indian National Congress, changing it from a political party into a social movement.

		Those ten days set my grandfather's resolve and he would subsequently enlist both my Uncle Bill and my father, underage, in the Army where they cleaned up the end of the war in the Pacific.
