Government Spending: Technology Sector:
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the idea of whether state governments need to take on subsidizing roles in the technology sector. The paper discusses the development of Teflon® and its later economic importance to the general economy, and takes the position that state government's role is best left at that which creates a business-friendly environment into which businesses want to move. Innovation and funding are the two primary ingredients of technological advancement, and the relationship that has grown up between the private sector and the federal government is sufficient. The established pattern works well, and the state has no reason to get involved on the same level. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

“Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War”: A Review of the Book by Mark Bowden
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of the book detailing the 1993 downing of two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters in Mogadishu and the fighting which extended through the night. This event now holds the record for the longest sustained American firefight since Vietnam. The author of this paper contends that if Bowden’s book can be criticized, that criticism would revolve around the fact that it devotes practically all of its attention to a bullet-by-bullet account of the fighting surrounding the downing of the American helicopters and their crews’ survival through the night and devotes relatively little effort to explaining the circumstances behind that downing. This paper fills in the gaps on those circumstances. No additional sources are listed.
