Bastille Stormed!
After a day of nearly warlike conditions in the French capital, a massive crowd of Revolutionaries took to arms and toppled the symbol of French monarchy. The Bastille -- a medieval era tower building that was used as a prison -- was set ablaze all day yesterday. The number of people in the Revolutionary mob is estimated to be around 1000; the numbers of casualties have yet to be determined. What does this mean for London? Is a revolution of our own brewing?

American Tariff Act: Will it work?
Could this be the new French flag?
Houses for Sale!
With a revolution brewing in France, what are the possible outcomes of the strife? Could France emerge unscathed, or will the nation crumble? Analysts say that if France had a new flag, it would look like this one. The red symbolizes the blood that will be spilled.
After two weeks straight of dismal gray skies, Londoners are treated to a glimpse of the real color of the sky. It's blue!
The American Tariff Act might help protect the country's domestic industries. What does it mean for England?

The London Looker
The Revolutionaries in France finally broke the tension that had been practically palpable this side of the Channel. News correspondents in Paris say that many Parisians "saw it coming." One woman said that she knew something was wrong when she did not smell the baguettes being baked in the early morning.
"Usually I smell them at 4:30. When it was 6:30 and I smelled nothing, I knew something was wrong. Then later, I smelled something else. It was gunpowder! I ran to my husband and we both cried for joy. Vive le France!"
One eyewitness quickly sketched this realistic image (left). The London Looker is proud to decode the French Revolution, and suggest what it might mean for England.

More midwives are prescribing a half pint of Samuel Smith's dark ale than ever before. Why?
Recent studies have shown that a half pint of ale makes the pain of childbirth a little better.

Correction: The editors would like to apologize for misspelling the name of Joshua Oakes in yesterday's issue. We accidentally printed the name as Oaks, when it is really Oakes.
OPINION
The search for the scattered Mutineers has yielded little. There have even been rumors the crew has burned the HMS Bounty and is hiding with the natives on Tahiti. French colonial officials are being described as "uncooperative" by British Royal Navy leaders. It is time that our Navy step up an official investigation into what happened, lest these types of things happen more often in these wild and revolutionary times. Crew committed mutiny against their captain on April 28 of this year. Who knows what else our men are capable of, now they see the Americans and the French get full of bright ideas. When we find the mutineers, we should kill them all!

Corporate communications involves not just the message, but the idea that communications are managed, and are connected to corporate objectives (Cornelissen, 2004). Therefore, when communication possibilities were limited, corporate options were limited, and one did not see communications management perspectives that advocated the type of intimate connection between communications and corporate strategy that one sees in a modern context (Cornelissen, 2004). What this makes clear is that CC is
Having started as a bookkeeper in Cleveland, John D. Rockefeller accumulated money while being a merchant, and then bought his first oil refinery in 1862.

By 1899, The Standard Oil Company, acting as a holding company, controlled the stock
They were followed in 1936 by the Harlem River Houses, a more modest experiment in housing projects. And by 1964, nine giant public housing projects had been constructed in the neighborhood, housing over 41,000 people [see also Tritter; Pinckney and Woock]. The roots of Harlem's various pre 1960's-era movements for African-American equality began growing years before the Harlem Renaissance itself, and were still alive long after the Harlem Renaissance ended.

Slave Narrative and Black Autobiography - Richard Wright's "Black Boy" and James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography The slave narrative maintains a unique station in modern literature. Unlike any other body of literature, it provides us with a first-hand account of institutional racially-motivated human bondage in an ostensibly democratic society. As a reflection on the author, these narratives were the first expression of humanity by a group of people in a society where
