'''Los Angeles''' (Spanish for "'''City of Angels'''", often called "'''L.A.'''" or just "'''LA'''") is a city in [[California]], the biggest city in the state. approximately 3.8 million people reside in LA. The city is quite large, covering nearly 500 square miles.

The movie industry of [[Hollywood]] is based in the Hollywood district of LA. Many world-class aerospace firms are there too, like Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Howard Hawks Aviation. Beaches line the coast, from Malibu beach to the noth, to Venice Beach at the south. Long Beach is the nearby port, and is the largest port on the west Coast, larger even than Seattle or San Diego. Oil refineries lie along the southern coastline, in Torrance, and in the north there is the San Gabriel Valley, a huge suburban zone. All the water for Los Angeles comes from [[Colorado]], and also from [[Mexico]].

Los Feliz is where the artists live, also they live in Venice and also Downtown. West Hollywood is where all the homeosexuals live. They are usually rich and often make movies. Many many people from all over the world live in LA, and as a result there are restaurants from well over 300 nations there. However, it is famously very hard to get good cheese in Los Angeles. The weather is excellent all year around, which is why the movie business moved there - the light is excellent for 'shooting' for over 300 days a year. The Mayor os LA is Anthony Varigoso, and City Hall is a very notable big building Downtown, where there are also a lot of skyscrapers.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

2007-04-09T05:27:48Z

Romneylvr: Hopefully you don't think this is a silly edit.

{{stub}}
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945), was the 32nd president of the United States of America, following [[Herbert Hoover]] and preceding [[Harry Truman]]. Roosevelt was a member of the [[Democratic Party]]. He was elected four times and served a few months longer than 3 terms, from 1933-1945, the longest any one man has been president of the United States. He was elected amidst the uncertainty of the [[Great Depression]]. After the Japanese attack on [[Pearl Harbor]], he entered the United States into the Second World War on the side of the Allied Forces. Finally, in April 12, 1945, Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage, due partly to the crippling disease, [[polio]]myelitis, which physically disabled him during his presidency.<ref>http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/fr32.html</ref>

Although Mr. Roosevelt was very popular in his time, it has been argued by scholars and analysts then and now that many [[New Deal]] relief efforts actually helped to prolong the [[Great Depression]]. Mr. Roosevelt started the second wave of the massive expansion of the Federal Government and greatly increased American foreign aid. Some of these policies were viewed as necessary due to the incredibly high level of unemployment in the 1930s and later US involvement in WWII.<ref>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/32_f_roosevelt/printable.html</ref>.

A 1999 C-Span survey of historians found Roosevelt to be the second greatest president of all time, and the greatest of the 20th Century, ahead of other presidents such as Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy.<ref>http://www.americanpresidents.org/survey/historians/31.asp</ref>

== Reflections on Christianity ==

Franklin D. Roosevelt, commonly known as "FDR", said this about the Bible in an address on October 6, 1935:

:We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic ...

:Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.<ref>Quoted in DeMar, ''The Untold Story'', p. 60 and Gabrial Sivan, ''The Bible and Civilization'' (New York: Quadrangle/The New York Times Book Co., 1973), p. 178.</ref>

FDR became famous for delivering "fireside chats" over the new medium of radio, and on March 9, 1937 he declared:

:I hope that you have re-read the Constitution of the United States in these past few weeks. Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again.

As [[World War II]] broke out in Europe, FDR warned:

:Those forces hate democracy and Christianity as two phases of the same civilization.

== Decision to run for a third term ==

It is highly questionable whether FDR would have chosen to run for a third term had the [[Nazis]] not experienced such great success early in World War II, particularly in overrunning [[France]], which had been expected to hold out longer. Historian [[Doris Kearns Goodwin]] has explored the implications of triumphant Naziism for FDR's decision in her book ''No Ordinary Time''. While FDR had inaugurated the first system of peacetime [[conscription]] just after France fell, Congress had agreed to conscript men for one year only, and the frontrunner for the [[Republican]] Presidential nomination in 1940, [[Wendell Willkie]], was an isolationist. It was therefore entirely possible that both conscription and the war would end in 1941 with the Nazis in control of all [[Western Europe]] except for [[Britain]], which would be dangerously isolated. FDR's [[Democratic]] [[heir apparent]], [[Vice President]] [[John Nance Garner]] of [[Texas]], was at best lukewarm on both the war and the [[New Deal]]. To avoid this outcome, FDR probably decided to enter the war at the same time he decided to run again, although he was politically unable to do so until the [[Japanese]] attacked [[Pearl Harbor]] in December 1941.

Had FDR chosen not to run in 1940, he would quite likely have lived longer (the impact of the presidency on its occupants' health is infamous, and FDR eventually confided at least to his wife [[Eleanor Roosevelt]] that he wished to live beyond his term). The [[22nd Amendment]] to the [[U. S. Constitution]], if any, would have dealt with something besides term limitation of the President. FDR's reputation would, however, have been determined by the same factors that determined it in real life: the outcome of World War II, the ability of his party to cement its majority, and in the short term, the willingness of his successor to follow his policies. One of these, the close alliance with the [[Soviet Union]], was repudiated almost immediately by Truman, and as a result, Roosevelt is remembered by [[conservatives]] as at best a qualified success. A Republican 33rd President, however, would most likely have appointed anti-New Deal Justices to the [[U. S. Supreme Court]] (particularly had he been elected in 1940), with the result that Roosevelt today would be roundly condemned as a [[demagogue]], notwithstanding his decision to respect [[George Washington]]'s two-term precedent. Since the Republicans did not actually retake the [[White House]] until the [[1952 Presidential election]] (and then through a candidate who was perceived as being above politics), the New Deal had time to be embraced by a new generation of politicians and constitutional scholars of both parties, although not universally (see [[Constitution in exile movement]]). This may have been an equally important factor in Roosevelt's decision.

== Wartime record ==

The following year, on May 27, 1941, FDR stated in one of his radio addresses:

:The Nazis are as ruthless as the Communists in the denial of God.

At the most dificult point in the War, when American boys were landing on the beaches of Normandy, FDR led the nation in prayer publicy during a radio broadcast. <ref>Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, [http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/odddayp.html Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer], June 6, 1944.</ref>

"In his second inaugural address, FDR pledged to do his utmost by 'seeking Divine guidance.' He took that self-appointed mandate further on January 25, 1941, when he wrote a personal prologue to a special edition of the New Testament, which was distributed to millions of U.S. soldiers. 'As Commander-in-Chief,' Roosevelt wrote, 'I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States.' He believed that all American soldiers should have the opportunity to read the words of Christ in preparing for battle. Once, when joining those soldiers aboard a warship with Winston Churchill, FDR asked the crew and prime minister to join him in singing the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers.' In his final inaugural address, FDR affirmed, "So we pray to Him for the vision to see our way clearly ... to achievement of His will.' "<ref>God and George W. Bush (New York: Regan Books, 2004), p. 176</ref>

Edouard Manet

2007-04-09T00:08:39Z

Romneylvr: /* Career */

'''Edouard Manet''' (1832-1883) was a highly influential French painter of the 19th century. He was the forerunner of the impressionists, and he is considered by many to be the father of modern art.

==Early Life==
Manet was born on January 23, 1832, to parents Auguste and Eugenie-Desiree. In 1848, at the age of sixteen, he embarked on the ship Le Hauvre et Guackloupe as a cabinboy. He was at sea for six months. Upon his return to [[Paris]], he was able to persuade his family to allow him to devote himself to painting.

==Career==
Manet was, arguably, the most scandalous painter of his time. His nudes (particularly "''The Picnic''" and "''Olympia''") were the cause of great public uproar. His sketchy, spontaneous, and sometimes brutally honest technique inspired the most pivotal art movement since the [[renaissance]] - [[impressionism]]. Manet, like his good friend [[Edgar Degas]], was a self-confessed urbanite, and many his works depicted life in the city. He reveled in the depravity of urban, atheistic life, depicting prostitutes and drug addicts in many of his paintings. He died in Paris in 1883. He was 51.

Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American painter among the most prominent of the New York School, more commonly referred to as the Abstract Expressionists. His major innovation was to paint unstretched canvas rolled out on the floor, working from all sides of the picture plane, pouring and throwing paint to create a line that re-encompasses itself over and over again without generating a positive and negative form. Pollock was a lifelong alcoholic and womanizer, and never accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior nor did he ever look to the teachings of Mohammed or find solace in the Torah. Pollock died in a car crash in Long Island. He was drunk at the time and had 2 young ladies in the car with him. One of them died as well.
