Oiling the wheels

Article Abstract:

The creation of the automobile led to many social changes in the 20th century, and the century could be called the oil era because of these changes. The 21st century will likely see less reliance on oil because of its limited supply and limited development of engines that use petroleum. Development of alternative fuels will become greater as well.

Article Abstract:

Some consider Thomas Jefferson's writing ambiguous. The vagueness of his work is traced to the fusion of an increasing Populist nationalism and an anti-state individualism within himself. His memoirs, revolutionary papers, letters, political notes and presidential writings are examined.
