Napoleon as Adventurer and Wrecker, Not Hero
Roger W Babson argues Napoleon Bonaparte was a formidable but dangerous figure born in 1769 Corsica. He notes his rise through military schools, marriage to Josephine, Italian campaigns, attempted conquest of Egypt, and eventual downfall after brutal decisions and retreat, casting him as a “gangster” rather than a noble leader.

Peacetime Ex-Servicemen Can File For Unemployment Pay
First claims for unemployment benefits under a new program for peacetime ex servicemen were filed in Maryland. The federal program, administered by the Employment Security agency, uses military wages to compute benefits and sets base periods and durations based on military and civilian earnings. Basic Maryland weekly benefits range from 10 to 35 dollars with allowances for dependents, and eligibility requires unemployment through no fault of own, ability and availability for work, and active job seeking.
