Dr. P:

FYI: The following web sites:

http://nano.nist.gov

National Institute of Science &; Technology do a search for NISTIR 6118:

A Metalurgy report on the Titanics’s hull plates &; rivet’s.

The Avalaon Project at Yale University: On line documents relating to politics and history.

The Virtual Museum of Computing

A History of computers referenced to the Military.

War Time Journal Magazine web site with Napolenic/Wellington and other military types.

The Alpine "Ice Man" web page.

You may be way ahead of me on this one.

Another well written article by the Washignton Post. This on the utter domination of the world by American popular culture. Some stunning numbers here, and all of this foretold in various science fiction novels over the last decade.

America’s biggest export is no longer the fruit of its fields or the output of its factories, but the mass-produced products of its popular culture— movies, TV programs, music, books and computer software.

Entertainment around the world is dominated by American-made products. It’s "The Young and the Restless" in New Delhi, Garth Brooks blaring from a Dublin apartment, or the eager line of people waiting outside a Nairobi movie theater to see "As Good As It Gets." It’s Bart Simpson in Seoul, Madonna in Sao Paulo, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" on Warsaw TV.
