starts because underestimation could lead to defeat. Bruce also had .....

His shy grin, easy manner, and total absence of sham endeared to Americans of all backgrounds.

During the Depression, many people were worried about what was going on in Washington. When Will pointed ou .....

The dark green in the background is tranquil, but the viewer’s knowledge of the situation happening to the vulnerable man leaves the viewer in a state of ambiguity. A peaceful image is portrayed, but the woman is litera .....
