'Cliff Edwards (14 June 1895 – 17 July 1971), also known as "Ukelele Ike", was an American singer and musician who enjoyed considerable popularity in the 1920s and early 1930s, and also did voices for animated cartoons later in his career.

In 1939 Edwards played the character "Edicott" in the screwball comedy film His Girl Friday. Edwards voice was also featured in two other films that year; he voiced the dying Confederate soldier in Gone with the Wind, and, most famously, the character Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio. In 1941, he voiced the head crow in Disney's Dumbo.'

I love this performance.

Robert Capa (Budapest, October 22, 1913 – May 25, 1954) was possibly the most famous war photographer of the 20th century. He covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War. Capa documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris.

From 1936 to 1939, he was in Spain, photographing the horrors the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, he became known across the globe for a photo he took on the Cordoba Front of a Loyalist Militiaman who had just been shot and was in the act of falling to his death. Because of his proximity to the victim and the timing of the capture, there was a long controversy about the authenticity of this photograph. Historians eventually succeeded in identifying the dead soldier as Federico Borrell García, from Alcoy (Valencia) and proved it authentic.

That's really poor. No music? What is this Nazi Germany circa 1939?

God I hate it when one of our convoys has been ambushed. Is it just me or has the military recritment percentage gone down since the end of WWII? Anyways I beleive that the board should use this(not exactly the language or the actual killing of someone)to show our children what exactly is goin on in Iraq and the "War Against Terrorism".

Besides, Germany after the second World War banned the idea of showing it's country the content of the war and Adolf Hitler and what happened in 1939 to 1946. People in other countries know about WWII more than Germany's new generation of civilians. Now that I say it, other countries probable know more about Vietnam then most americans do today. Anyhow look at the German society, not as much as the way the live but what they know of their history in WWII.

Off track now, I say this "History does not long entrust the weak or the timid." Show children what is happening in the war in Iraq. And tell them how Bush is doing to 'opt against this threat. Keep this on the blog poor ole' confused siftbot. Do I hear an amen?

Personaly, I am not for Bill, but he!!, what the frick was fox news and the media thinking when they said Bill "went outa control" at this interview? It doesn't take a jackass to know the difference bewtween an ex-prez being a "gentle" and "controlled" interviewe and a "mad, crazy man outa control". I say "Kick a$$ Bill!!" But that's just me.

And another thing, about the war. On 9-11 somewhere around 2700 americans were killed. For the past 5 years about that same number has been killed. In Vietnam, America tried it's "best" to protect southern Vietnam from the communist Viet-Cong. A huge number of americans were killed, and America failed in its duty. In WWII only about 2% of Allied soilders captured were brainwashed. In Korea, nearly 47% was brainwashed, and in Vietnam nearly 80%(if not more) were brainwashed. thats a time frame of 1939-1946(WWII)9 years later(Korean War) and then about another 8 years later(Vietnam War). Between then alot of things happened, of which i have no more time to tell. Now I wrote this pretty quick so I might of made a mistake. If I did then please correct me.

thanks for your comment. i had a little time but first hesitated to write such a long answer. glad that at least one read it and found it informative. you don't have to apologise of course especially not for your fellow citizens our your school system. if they teach you, the swiss are/were neutral, thats not wrong. the question only is: what is "neutral". our neutrality is basically a military one. that means: not taking part in any conflict. not selling weapons to any side. maintaining diplomatic relations with both parties. not let any party use our territory and/or airspace. that's how it has been more or less since the middle ages. but this says nothing about what the people (or the government) think. in 1848 democratic revolutions took place in germany - they failed. the leader of this movements came to switzerland and got a hearty welcome. that caused big tension with the german monarchies (especially prussia) who demanded immediate extradition - that was not granted. again, in 1871 the swiss mainly supported the more democratic french in the franco-prussian war. same procedure in 1914 (france then being the only real democracy in europe beside switzerland) and in 1939. so, the swiss were always far from being "neutral" in the sense of "i don't care". but as a country, we officialy were and still are.
today, we have problems defining our neutrality. regarding the israel-lebanon war, one of our federal councillors (a member of the 7-member collective government) said, that, if international laws are broken and crimes against humanity are commited, the one who remains silent is not neutral, but is actively taking part by approving what happens. now the discussion is in, if this is a new definition of our neutrality or not. some say, even an expression like that from a member of the government would be against neutrality... i'm really looking forward to the process of this discussion and if ever a final decision will be made, it will probably become manifest in a referendum. what not necessarily simplifies complicated things....

now it's my turn to apologize to you all for using the comment function for derisory long answers...

For my high-school literature class I was constructing an anthology with a wide range of different stories that I believed reflected the black girl’s experience. http://www.mediathatmattersfest.org/6/a_girl_like_me/
The Clarks' doll experiments grew out of Mamie's master's degree thesis and yielded 3 papers between 1939 and 1940. They found that Black children often preferred to play with white dolls over black; that, asked to fill in a human figure with the color of their own skin they frequently chose a lighter shade than was accurate, and that they viewed white as good and pretty, but black as bad and ugly.[1] They viewed this as evidence of internalized racism caused by stigmatization.
The Clarks testified as expert witnesses in several school desegregation cases including Briggs v. Elliott, one of the cases that were later combined into the famous Brown v. Board of Education, the case in which the U.S. Supreme Court officially overturned racial segregation in public education. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Clark_%28doll_test%29
