...commanders refuse, symbolically showing the value of working together. This action is supposed to stand as a sign for the rest of the world to follow. But it remains frustratingly unclear in the movie why the Soviet commander capitulates to the head of the American expedition, Dr. Heywood Floyd (Roy Scheider), without any explanation...
Theodore White, in his analysis "The Shaping of the Presidency 1984," says Jesse Jackson's campaign called for black separatism. But before condemning Jackson's ideas, we should recall the price paid for the earlier triumphs of Roy Wilkins and Martin Luther King Jr. Many suffered and died to have those issues addressed.

Furthermore, this answer leaves unaddressed the very real dangers of having a gun in the home: they cause an overwhelming number of accidents. More than half of the 10,000 people who were killed by handguns in 1983 were shot by relatives, friends, or acquaintances, according to the FBI. If a policeman were to transgress the rights...
