Country. There was a women in the Law Conference i attended at i think the first one was at yale. And we were getting out materials to i rode with my friends, herman cain and kenneth davidson, one of the published cases on sex discrimination and the law. But we came to see by the way, i should say who the we were. A brilliant lawyer, marvin kilpack, he was one of the general counsel. He spotted in law week what he said is going to be the turning point gender discrimination case. The year is 1970 and the Supreme Court has never seen a gender classification that it thought was unconstitutional. This case was decided by the Supreme Court of idaho. It was about a woman named sally reid who was divorced when her son was what the law calls of tender years so sally got custody.

Resources. The army does a lot of things. They are discoverers explorers. Army contracts are an important part of the economy. They play a role in conservation. In the American National parks they were established in the 19th century but there was no one to protect them or preserve them. Keep trespassers away. And so the army really because of the efforts of the commanding general, the army stepped in. Literally saves National Parks until another organization can be created. For better or for worse, they did more than fight indians. The American People have historically had a fear of the regular army. From the english traditions, revolutionary war traditions, we fear a standing army. It is hard for modern observers to realize because now the military is one of the most trusted institutions in the u. S. But that was not the case in the 19th century.
