What Would Most Surprise People About You? A dedicated athlete‚ I placed tenth in the 1999 Boston Marathon. Surprisingly enough‚ my participation was actually something of a whim. Prior to the race‚ I ran four miles every day‚ but I was not in the same league as those who competed internationally. A typical training regime required an aggressive eighteen-week period and a minimum of four days a week: a high commitment. On a dare from my boss‚ I decided to enter the race. Although the physical

The Boston Police Strike In 1919‚ there was a general agreement that the Boston policemen had a great deal to complain about. They disliked their hours‚ working conditions and most importantly‚ their salary. After getting a raise in 1913‚ the policemen had asked for another raise in 1917 to compensate for the high wartime inflation. By the time the officers had finally received that raise‚ the buying power of that extra money had gone down so low that the policemen were still having problems making

criminal act does not‚ in modern times‚ have a universally accepted definition. Terrorism is certainly a crime in that it usually involved casualties. At times I feel that we forget that acts of terror come in many different sizes. Earlier this year the Boston Marathon Bombing shook the nation to its core. Acts of terror on American soil had not been committed in almost a decade. Three people died and over 264 more were injured. Does this constitute and act of war or is it still considered a crime. The

Greek Architecture in Boston My first discovery of classical architecture was made the moment I stepped outside my apartment‚ as my building has two Doric columns framing the front door. As I meandered over the hill and across the Common I realized exactly how prevalent classical architecture really is. Elements of classical architecture can be found on almost every building in the old residential neighborhoods and many commercial buildings feature columns and arches as well. I saw all three

March fifth‚ 1770 was a gruesome culmination of high tensions between the British forces and colonists inhabiting Boston. There is no doubt that this was one of the most appalling displays of bloodshed in history; but who is to blame for the instigation of this deplorable event? I believe that it was the British soldiers of the 29th regiment who initiated the Boston Massacre. Although the soldiers were somewhat provoked by the crowd on king street and by the ropewalk workers‚ the soldiers had a responsibility
