The turbulence during the first World War led to the intrigue that brought about the downfall of the last Tsar of Russia. It was during this period that Nicholas II took control over his vast fortune and hid it hoping to retrieve it one day to reclaim his rightful place as...
One of the great purposes in life is to achieve a level higher with each passing generation. I have always tried to gain a greater degree of excellence than my father. Whether it was athletics, academics, music or any other great passion. Personally I succeeded in some and in...
When the Berlin Wall came down signaling the beginning of the end of Communist rule in Russia their life expectancy rates steadily declined. Both men and women's mortality rates took a sharp decline. Whether it was because of the instability of government, the economic...
In this the year of the early spring. You couldn't tell that by the weather in New England though. But down here in Florida spring really does come early. Soft gentle breezes that flow ever so slow aided by the warmth of the sun brings an altogether unique sense of...
