criminal justice system (Henry & Lanier 2001:6). Evidently, crime is a complex concept, in which people’s perceptions of criminality are often influenced or shaped by a broader context. This research paper will look closely into the criminal case of Brian Wells, the “Collar Bomber” who robbed a bank in the state of Pennsylvania in August 2003. Robbery, like crime, has several definitions including both legal and sociological. According to the American Criminal Codes, robbery is defined as, ‘Whoever, by

However, Rex responded saying, “You're the king of your own castle, and that's the way it should be, but it’ll be chilly day in hell before I bow to my own son” (Walls, 254).

Targets of Satire in The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams satirizes many targets in The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Adams came up with the idea for The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in a drunken haze in Germany while he was lying in a field with the stars spinning over him (Adams, Douglas 12) which explains the style of humor, and the satire in the novel, which does not appear to make sense at first, but eventually does. Adams almost forgot about

Another way of looking at how the sport has come along in the past thirty years is by focusing on the people who have been an integral part in its development. People such as Bob Douglas, Mickey Fox, Ritchie Spears, Brian Heaney, Steve Konchalski, and Bill Robinson, who through different roles have made and continue to make an impact on basketball in this province.
