THINKPIECES Perhaps my biggest fantasy as a music enthusiast and writer is to interview the Beatles during their prime. I would have loved to pick their brains and maybe not understand but get a glimpse of their dynamics. They had risen to the top of the charts and magnified popularity. I have always wondered what went behind the scenes, before they hit the stage, and after the lights had gone off and the screaming fans had all gone home. How did it really affect them? What were the real…

Maximus Enterprises In 1967, the legal wranglings were finally settled, and Epstein launched Maximus Enterprises Ltd., (now that Stramsact and Seltaeb were dissolved) to try to capitalize on the merchandising boom, but by this time the interest of many corporations had wilted following the Seltaeb debacle. Also at this time, Lennon had enraged part of the American fan-base with his suggestion that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus." Epstein was well aware that his own contract was up…

The Bible records that Paul had a thorn in the flesh. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) There was a probability that Pauls’ thorn was related to an unsteady gait caused by the fall from the bright light in Acts 9 as well as aging. However, the Lord informs Paul that grace was sufficient for any physical impairment. The project participants stated that Paul was a murderer and God was punishing Paul for breaking the commandment, thou shall not kill. The Project Director elaborated on Paul asking God for…

The Graduate is a film centered around Benjamin during his first summer after earning his degree at college. He spends his time lounging in his parents pool, unsure of who he is and what he wants to do, much like Neil in Goodbye, Columbus. Both characters feel isolated, lonely, and trapped, eventually falling for women who feel their lives are dull and boring. Goodbye, Columbus and The Graduate are similar stories with similar themes; the difference is in how they are presented. While the former…

Elvis Presley, a very influential person of the 20th century, was an actor and a music artist. Many people looked up to him as he made a great impact in much of the cultural and lifestyle of this era. During his career, he sold over one billion records and actually made 33 movies. He never really stayed in one spot while he was with his parents, and all the moving made him connect to only about two things; his music and his family. Elvis was born in 1935 and made a huge difference all the way…

Our inherited ability to detect and differentiate facial expressions is an incredibly advantageous survival instinct.

It has been theorized that individuals with psychopathy possess a deficit in their perception of these…
