Mexican Independence Days, Mayflower Day. The pattern established by the page is to present a detailed review of four Web sites on each of the above topics and a link to the site reviewed.

35. Global land environments during the last 130,000 years
    Time recently (April 14,1997) published an article on measuring climate changes using the ice of Antarctica. The article ended with a quote from Lamount Wallace Broeker: "Climate is an angry beast, and we are poking it with sticks." The issue of climate change and its impact on human development (past, present and future) presents an opportunity to create activities and lessons that cross the traditional subject divisions in most American schools.

12. {{{{ - object - not - found - }}}}
    I browsed the "Found Writing" segment on an old school note. Ever pick up a classroom note written by a student who was not listening to your "gem"? I sometimes threatened to read them aloud to the other students. Why would someone save these notes? Is this something like the teeth marks from my Grandchildren on the window ledge (the one where the squirrels played in the snow in the Winter)? Guess part of living with real style is knowing what to keep and what to discard. Which remind me that I must clean the garage this weekend.

1. The Struma Project
   Presents part of the story of Rumanian and Russian Jews who escaped the massacres in 1941 Rumania by embarking on a tiny vessel for Palestine. "She limped to Istanbul over three days where the tiny, woefully inadequate engine finally gave up. There she remained for 70 days. The British refused to grant permission for them to enter Palestine and the Turks would not let them repair the engine, disembark or remain in Turkey. With only the food and water supplied by the local Jewish community and no sanitary facilities, conditions on the unbearably cramped, little ship rapidly deteriorated. On the evening of February 23rd 1942, Turkish police seized control of ship and towed it out into the Black Sea. With no engine, she drifted over night when at first light a Russian submarine sank her with a single torpedo. 103 children, 269 women and 406 men died."

    The introduction below tells it all and clearly illustrates that travel (and visiting travel net sites) can lead to an appreciation of history.
    "Join Greenspun as he searches for traces of Jewish history among the shell-pocked ruins of East Berlin, visits the luxurious digs of Frederick the Great, takes a pleasure cruise past the birthplace of the Final Solution, rides down the Elbe River valley to Prague, dates a beautiful young Czech, wrests his bicycle from the Czech bureaucracy, tries desperately to impress two Dutch sisters, visits the last battleground of World War II, and is trapped over Heathrow with a New York philosopher.
    You'll learn about fascinating history, beautiful architecture, and, perhaps best of all, how ethnic strife in Europe lends perspective to problems in America."
