The first way is to be a rich man. I don't happen to be a rich man so I couldn't use that. Another way that is used is to put your wife on the payroll. Let me say, incidentally, my opponent, my opposite number for the Vice Presidency on the Democraticticket, does have his wife on the payroll. And has had her on his payroll for the ten years—the past ten years. Now just let me say this. That's his business and I'm not critical of him for doing that. You will have to pass judgment on that particul...

John Tyler.
A “His Accidency” Tyler was summoned to Washington, D.C., as acting president. The Constitution seemed unclear as to whether Tyler should now merely assume the duties of thepresident until new elections were held, or whether he should in fact assume the office of president. Tyler chose the latter view and on April 6 had himself sworn in aspresident. This procedure, later taken for granted, exposed Tyler to much censure and abuse. Throughout his term, Whigs and Democrats alike denounced his acti...

William Henry Harrison.
in September 1813, Harrison recaptured the city of Detroit, which the British had taken in 1812. The following month he overtook the British and Tecumseh's forces onthe Thames River in Canada. He captured the entire British force. Tecumseh was killed, and his forces were routed. Harrison's triumph on the Thames, although won over inferior forces badly placed, was vitally important because the victory secured the Northwest from the threat of aBritish invasion from Canada.

Commentaire Composé Sur La Nouvelle "Monseigneur" D'Anton Tchékhov
début du récit nous apprend que l'action se déroule au « début d'avril », et le narrateur mentionne à plusieurs reprises le « soleilprintanier » ou « l'air printanier ». Par ailleurs, le texte est semé d'indications temporelles précises. Le lecteur apprend ainsi qu'ilest « près d'onze heures » lorsque les vigiles s'achèvent, que l'évêque dîne « à une heure passée », que le service se termine à« minuit moins le quart » et que Monseigneur entre en agonie « vers huit heures ». A ce propos, il est r...

Renaissance, art de la - peinture.
Les artistes de la première Renaissance estiment qu’il est nécessaire de joindre à leurs travaux les écrits qui fondent leur art. Ainsi, de nombreux traités permettant de fournir des outils théoriques à la pratique artistique voient le jour ; le plus souvent, ces livres sont rédigés par les artistes eux-mêmes, ou par des penseurs humanistes ayant une pratique artistique. C’est le cas du plus célèbre d’entre eux, Leon Battista Alberti, philosophe, lettré, mathématicien, théoricien de l’art et sur...
