Well as stated in class I was going to be looking at the articles published by the Post and NY Times from june of 1972 to june of 1973 regarding the watergate break-in. However after realizing that this was more than 200 articles I figured a should shoot for a shorter time frame. Thus I have decided to do just the first month of investigation between june and July of 1972. If this does not prove to focus the project enough I may just move to a single elemnt of the writing such as- were any of the information or stories exactly the same in both news papers? or something to this effect.

September 27th, 2009 by Brendan Baileywhy am I a history major?
August 26th, 2009 by Brendan Baileywell, for the most part I am a history major because I have always liked the subject; plus it doesn’t hurt finding it easier than other subjects I have taken. I have always like history b/c even though you are looking at things that happened in the past, you can look out your window and see its impact on the here and now. To be ignorant of the past is to be ignorant of the present– and vice versa.
