This gruesome figure was cast from the corpse of a murderer, taken straight from the gallows to be nailed to a cross and flayed in order to settle an artistic debate. Three Royal Academicians - the sculptor Thomas Banks and painters Sir Benjamin West and Richard Cosway - conducted this experiment to prove their belief that most depictions of the Crucifixion were anatomically incorrect. In 1801 the three artists approached the eminent surgeon, Joseph Constantine Carpue, for his help in finding a suitable subject. The only corpses available for dissection at this time were those of executed criminals but, on October 2nd, an opportunity arose when Carpue was called to Chelsea Hospital. One of the captains, named James Legg, had been arguing with a fellow pensi

Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC: War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag. I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers.

Washington D.C., November 10, 2006 - Bush administration nominee for Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates had a long career in government which showed a notable combination of ambition and caution, according to a new book by Archive senior analyst John Prados [Safe for Democracy: The Secret Wars of the CIA (Chicago: Ivan R. Dee, 2006)] which deals with Gates among its much wider coverage of the agency since its inception. As Director of Central Intelligence in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War, Gates faced criticism for moving slowly with reforming the agency for the new era, and thus missing a moment of extraordinary opportunity that occurred at that time. In earlier posts at top levels of the CIA, Gates figured in the Iran-Contra affair, in which he
