The ransoms got so high as to equal 1/6th of the entire US budget. The cold calculation by Jefferson was that it was cheaper to fight a war than to pay the ransoms. So, we quit paying and went to war.

Tracing their origins to England as far back as the 1720 stock market crash known as the South Sea Bubble, political cartoons, sometimes instead called ''editorial cartoons,'' were initially sold as individual prints before becoming a fixture in newspapers and print magazines. By the middle of the 19th century, you could expect to find a political cartoon in just about any newspaper that you picked up, and by the 20th century, few newspapers could be considered complete without one.Tracing their origins to England as far back as the 1720 stock market crash known as the South Sea Bubble, political cartoons, sometimes instead called ''editorial cartoons,'' were initially sold as individual prints before becoming a fixture in newspapers and print magazines.

A study suggests that widows actually suffer less stress and frailty than wives whose husbands are still alive. The findings are in contrast to previous research which showed marriage has a protective effect on health, lowering the risk of a heart attack, depression and increasing the chance of surviving from cancer. The University of Padova found that while men suffer negative consequences when their wife dies - because they rely more heavily on their spouse - women appear to get healthier.

Bill Mauldin's drawings in 'Stars and Stripes' newspaper of his muddy, exhausted, whisker-stubble infantrymen Willie and Joe were the voice of truth about what it was like on the front lines in World War II. Not all the officers liked the way Mauldin made fun of army life, General Patton wanted the newspaper, available to all soldiers and sailors, shut-down unless they got rid of Willie & Joe. But his boss General Eisenhower loved the cartoons, recognizing them as a morale builder for the troops.
