  • Gun Control Or People Control - 1,138 words

That a team from the College of the Holy Cross should find itself in the championship game of the NCAA Tournament was a preposterous notion. But there was Holy Cross, the product of a happy accident rather than a well-conceived plan, preparing to meet Oklahoma for the national title in New York. In March 1947, the team without a home court had appropriated Madison Square Garden. The mecca of basketball rocked to the Crusaders' locomotive cheer: Choo-choo-rah-rah! Although basketball traced its origins to New England, the region had been left behind in the development of the game. 0l' Doc Na ...

The Japanese have long been discriminated against in the U.S. People have thought they are sly, treacherous, cruel ... In other words, they were strangers. People, as a whole, fear the un ...
