The stock market: how high is too high?

Article Abstract:

Controversy exists about whether the U.S. stock market has gone too high, thereby preparing itself for another crash. The Federal Reserve Board is concerned to prevent an overheating economy, and it accordingly raised interest rates in March 1997, which lowered the stock market. Further interest raises by the Fed are of concern to stock market professionals. Stock market indexes and exchange histories are also included.

Searching for Jesus

Article Abstract:

Religious scholars view the birth of Jesus as myth rather than history while most Christians believe biblical accounts of the nativity. Some scholars want to reconstruct the actual events of Jesus's life in order to understand the spiritual message and its relevance. A substantial majority of Americans strongly believe Jesus was born in a stable to a virgin mother.

Holocaust Reparations

Article Abstract:

Thousands of Holocaust survivors and their heirs are putting forth legal and diplomatic efforts to recover some of the approximately $23-32 billions (valued in 1945 dollars) in money and property they lost to them between 1933-1945. Some worry the emphasis on financial crimes distorts the racist and ideological crimes of the Holocaust.
