...Running head: WATERGATE 1 WATERGATE DEVRY UNIVERSITY ONLINE. OCTOBER 20, 2014 WATERGATE 2 INTRODUCTION Watergate is a word that will forever be connected to the 37th President, Richard Nixon. What started out as a botched robbery at the Democratic Reelection headquarters would later become know for bringing down the Presidency. The American public would be able to see and hear firsthand what actually occurred in the Whitehouse behind closed doors, because of the national media that it created and the broadcasting of the Watergate Senate Hearings. This would bring to light the illegal activity that occurred during this time affecting many and changing politics as they were known. This paper will discuss the events that lead up to the Senate hearings and the fall of an American President. The careers that were made and the ones destroyed. The outcome and how it affected the American public and the future of politics. WATERGATE 3 WATERGATE At a time when the American population was dealing with the devastation of the Vietnam War and the loss of many loved ones a robbery at the Watergate hotel hit the papers.

They are not going to be able to maintain a long- term relationship with their current clients. This is a big problem for this company because in my own experience it costs more time to attract new customers than it does to retain existing customers. Summary of the Facts Buddy Towers is the sales managers of Omnico, Inc. He has a lot of experience on the sales field. He has been the top- producing salesperson for 20 of the last 35 years; therefore, he knows how to interact with customers. The CEO/ president of this company was completely sure that Buddy will do a great job on everything he was planning to do to resolve the problem but some of the salespeople disagree with Buddy’s ideas to offer to pay for golf lessons to build a closer relationship with their key customers. Laura Kilburn was the most affected with this idea. According to her statement, “Today’s customers don’t come back to us because they’re our golfing buddy; in fact many...

In a bungled rescue attempt by West German authorities 9 of the hostages and 5 terrorists are killed. Terrorists may or may not have the ability to carry out their act. 1) If the terrorist does not have to have the ability to carry out the act they only need to convince you that they have the ability (hoax). 2) May result in backlash against the terrorist group if the attack is too horrific. 3) Sometimes by forcing the government to take protective measures the terrorist can gain publicity and effect the public without actually launching an attack. Effects of September 11th 1) ARNG guards the airports and the borders. 2) Numerous terrorist threat warnings issued by the FBI and Dept of Transportation. 3) Restructuring of the entire US Intelligence community. 4) Created Bureau of Homeland Defense. 5) Mass hysteria in response to Anthrax attacks. 6) US launches the Global War on Terrorism. 7) Preoccupation with...

...“The Ransom of Red chief” O’Henry (September 11, 1862 – June 5, 1910) The text under analysis is ‘The ransom of red chief’ written by O’Henry, one of the most famous American short story writers of 19th century. O. Henry’s real name was William Sydney Porter and he was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. Let me start from the summary. The story runs about two crooks - Bill Driscoll and Sam. They decided to pull off a "fraudulent town-lot scheme” but for this scheme they needed money. So, they decided to kidnap a little boy of the wealthy man of town of Summit. But they couldn’t imagine what was waiting for them. This story opens with PROLOGUE where the author introduces to us the beginning of the story. And in the prologue two characters are presented to us: the narrator Sam and his friend Bill Driscoll. This text is written in 1st person narration. O’Henry uses it to create the atmosphere of the situation itself and to give us the opportunity to be involved and to feel ourselves as participants. In the very beginning the author keeps us in suspense with the words: but wait till I tell you. The setting of the story is town of Summit in West Illinois. Further go RISING ACTIONS which include selection of the victim, hiding in the cave, games with the boy and writing a letter to the father of the boy Johnny. Here we meet other characters: a little boy of 10 years, who is described directly and his father, Ebenezer Dorset. But Ebenezer is opposed to Bill, Sam and Johnny as...

...The International Trade Concepts The International Trade Concepts simulation helps one to learn the advantages and limitations of international trade. One can also take what is learned from the simulation and relate it to the U.S. economy and the effects international trade has on it. Learning about how fiscal and monetary policies affect the exchange rate is important as well. Not only can one apply what was learned in the simulation to the U.S. economy but they can also apply it to their workplace. The Concept Summary of the simulation helps to make these applications. Advantages and Limitations International trade has advantages for every country. Other countries may produce certain goods more efficiently than another and trade allows these goods or products to be imported. This gives the consumer more choices in terms of prices and quality. This also allows the countries capital to receive new avenues for investment. Each country can then gain more wealth and use its resources more efficiently by engaging them into the production of goods which in which it will have a comparative advantage. In the simulation Rodamia may not have had an absolute advantage of either cheese or corn, but it was able to maximize benefits from trade by specializing in the production of goods in which it has a competitive advantage. International trade also has limitations for every country. Countries may decide to use others as places to “dump” products and they might also charge tariffs...

...principally France sabotaged Woodrow Wilson’s dream of a League of Nations, President Truman ensured that not only did Europe re-emerge as a strong economic force, but that American culture has been the dominant force in the world ever since . The Plan was named after the Secretary of State of the time, General George Catlett Marshall, who was army chief of staff in World War II, Secretary of State 1947–49, and Secretary of Defence from September 1950–September 1951. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1953 for launching the Marshall Plan for European economic recovery in June 1947. However, James Reston, among others has suggested that maybe the Acheson Plan would have been more appropriate name. Acheson was working in the State Department with Marshall and the internal memos certainly give a clearer indication of the aims of the plan than the rather toothless speech that Marshall made at Harvard in June 1947 to launch the program. An anonymous scribe in the Department outlined the aims of the programme succinctly in a Summary of the Department’s position on the Content of a European Recovery Program: “The Basic objective of program is to move an entire area progressively from present condition to working economy independent of abnormal outside support, taking full account of basic changes in European conditions such as political developments in Eastern Europe, altered position of former colonial...

...Financial Statement Disclosure Overload Karen Coleman Recent trends in financial reporting reflect an increase in the amount of disclosures found in financial statements. The increased amount of disclosures is primarily a result of the efforts of the SEC and the FASB. Pronouncements issued by the SEC and the FASB often include disclosure requirements that are designed to improve the information that companies present in their financial reports. There are numerous reasons for this increased emphasis on financial reporting disclosure requirements. Some of the more significant reasons include the complexity of the business environment and the necessity for accurate and timely financial information. (http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/acctdisc.htm). The financial disclosure notes are an integral part of the financial statements. Although they are normally drafted in technical language, the notes are an accountant’s means of explaining and even amplifying the items presented in the main body of the statements. (AR Section 90-Professional Standards, November 2014). Some disclosures are broad in nature and their implications, these can be notes that provide fundamental details about how a company handles its finances, such as its criteria for recognizing revenue and expenses. Others are much narrower, and can provide the context for one single amount that is included in the statement. Many disclosures focus on risk and uncertainty, such as how much of accounts receivable is likely...

...Chad Chambers BUSI301 Professor Martin September 25, 2011 Courtroom Observation The court case White vs. Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern took place in the United States District Court in the Northern District of Indiana. The defendants, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern are pursuing a summary judgment. Summary judgment is the resolution of a case without trial if the judge deems that there are no disputes to the material facts of the case. The Defendants in this case claim there is no evidence to support that bartender John Daniels saw any visual signs of intoxication from Edward Hart and only contextual knowledge can be proven. If the defendants can prove there were in fact no visible signs of intoxication then they will not be subjected to any legal wrong doing based off the 1988 Indiana Supreme Court Case which stated that contextual knowledge alone will not suffice. The plaintiff, Deborah White, is requesting that the court denies the defendant’s request for summary judgment. The plaintiff claims to have sufficient evidence which will prove bartender John Daniels did see visible signs of intoxication from Edward Hart. Edward Hart had consumed 11 drinks within a two hour span while at the Tavern. Regardless of body type, shape or size that amount of Alcohol consumed by a single individual can reasonably infer that he had shown visible signs of intoxication. Edward Hart had been observed falling off of his stool as well as tripping over a pool stick by another...
