POPS Newly Released Federal Documents Reveals Julia Child Among Spies
They studied military plans, created propaganda, infiltrated enemy ranks and stirred resistance among foreign troops. Among the more than 35,000 OSS personnel files are applications, commendations and handwritten notes identifying young recruits who, like Child, Goldberg and Berg, earned greater acclaim in other fields — Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a historian and special assistant to President Kennedy; Sterling Hayden, a film and television actor whose work included a role in "The Godfather"; and Thomas Braden, an author whose "Eight Is Enough" book inspired the 1970s television series. Other notables identified in the files include John Hemingway, son of author Ernest Hemingway; Quentin and Kermit Roosevelt, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, and Miles Copeland, father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police. The release of the OSS personnel files uncloaks one of the last secrets from the short-lived wartime intelligence agency.

POPSBeef and Fast Food Industries Resource Usage In Less Developed Countries the problem of land use is even more acute. Whilst the majority of food produce tends to be grown on small, subsistence farms, the bulk of the best agricultural land is used for the growing of cash crops. Partly a legacy of colonial policies, partly a result of the debt problem and IMF and World Bank solutions to this problem, we find that people in the LDCs, particularly the rural poor, are going hungry whilst the bulk of these countries' agricultural output is exported to Europe and the USA. — Ross Copeland, The Politics of Hunger, University of Kassel, September 2000

POPSMy Space Profile A Note about My Age: Despite what the profile here on the MySpace says about me, I'm a good deal older than 99. Actually I am nearly 800. MySpace just won't let me enter a birthday from the thirteenth century. I've seen a lot happen - the invention and spread of constitutional democracy has been extremely encouraging. And though it may seem trivial to you, the idea of a machine that can make ice is really quite a marvel. Civilization has advanced well beyond what the men who wrote the Magna Carta could have imagined. But the principles they started with are as important as ever and, I hope, as enduring. With your help, I'll still have "My Space" in the Constitution 99 years from today. Habeas
