;;Robert Schuman was one of only two men to serve multiple times as prime minister during it, and was one of only two members of the MRP party to ascend to the highest office.  Its constitution was only accepted on the third referendum and resulted in the Senate's complete loss of power and a reinstatement of the power of the National Assembly.  The Radical Party was in power more than anyone else among its 22 different governments.  This instability came to a head with the crisis in Algeria, resulting in a new government after just twelve years.

FTP, what are these points where the displacement is zero at all times?.;;nodes
;;One work by this name has a large window at the center-left, showing a reclining copper nude statue in a pond and a woman knitting in a chair.  In the room in the foreground a man in a grey suit sits smoking and reading in the bottom left.  In this 1917 work, a woman in white sits next to a boy, of whom we can only see a head and who is partaking in the title event.  In the more famous work of this name a white pitcher rests on a table on the right and a black and white-tiled floor is occupied by two figures in the background.

He discussed the union of the finite self-consciousness and the infinite ego in his The Way Towards the Blessed Life and set forth his moral philosophy in The Science of Rights.  The Enlightenment's place in history was the subject of The Characteristics of the Present Age, while his lectures on the highest intellectual culture were collected as The Vocation of the Scholar.  FTP, name this philosopher who anticipated Hegel with his formulation of the dialectic and whose Critique of All Revelation was often mistakenly attributed to Kant.;;(Johann) (Gottlieb) Fichte
;;At one point in this work the tale of Basan and Basil is recited to serve as a warning for caution.  The only two women given significant roles are one who changes her name to Juliana and Alde, who dies of grief near the end.  Other deaths include those of Jurfaleu the Blond and Aelroth, both of whom are killed by the title character.  The climactic scenes occur due to the plotting of Blancandrin, the shrewdest of Marsilla's vassals.

;;Defenders prepared for their second attack by situating troops at the city of Djahy [duh-ja-hee].  Much of our information on them comes from the Great Harris text and the reliefs at Medinet Habu.  They were composed primarily of six tribes, though the Denen, Lukka, and Sherden were the most prominent.  Their arrival was more likely the result of a famine than an invasion and occurred during the 5th regnal year of Merneptah, though they came in greatest numbers during the rule of Ramses III.  FTP, identify this group that raided the eastern Mediterranean during the Egyptian 19th dynasty, whose generic name derives from their invasion from the water.;;Sea People
;;The experiment to demonstrate this process was done with two K12 strains of a certain organism.  It was later learned that a relaxosome was formed which created the so-called ori-T site.  Tatum and Lederburg's initial setup also allowed for the discovery of strains that carry out this process so-often as to be labeled H-f-r and for the use of terminology such as "F plus" and "F minus," designating the donor and receiver.  Usually carried out with the involvement of the plasmid, FTP, name this bacterial genetic transfer through cell-to-cell contact.;;conjugation
;;Its four movements require a gargantuan orchestra and last over 70 minutes in performances, with the opening Allegretto taking nearly half an hour.  The central section of that first movement uses a theme from Offenbach, which turns into a massive ostinato that overpowers this work's C major themes. This work proved so popular that the composer was pictured on the cover of Time in a fireman's hat.  Stokowski, Koussevitsky, and Toscanini fought over the right to first perform it in the West, and the latter won.  Perhaps most famous for a series of twelve accumulating repetitions that characterized its 18 bar or "invasion" theme, this work was inspired by a 1941 invasion of the composer's country.

;;Some legends claim that these mythical creatures arose out of agate, though Hildegard of Bingen describes their birthing habits differently.  Pliny believed that they came from Russia, Aeschylus wrote that they originated in Ethiopia, and Bulfinch gave their home country as India.  In Greek myth they belonged to Zeus, were neighbors of the Hyperboreans, and either guarded emeralds or took gold from the stream Arimaspias.

Lifshitz first showed how they were the microscopic description of the bulk property that is the Casimir effect.  They account for the condensation to the liquid state at sufficiently low temperatures of argon and benzene and may arise from a couple of sources.

FTP, identify these relatively weak intermolecular forces named for their Dutch discoverer.;;Van der Waals (forces)
;;His later works were intended for the layman, as in What Life Should Mean to You.  His theories would be brought to America by his protege Rudolf Dreikurs.  One of those theories claimed that people have an innate desire to work for the common good, a drive that he termed "social interest," and which he introduced in his work Understanding Human Nature.  His major theory concluded by stating that each individual strives for perfection in a unique style of life, part of the overall scheme that he introduced in The Neurotic Constitution as "individual" psychology.  FTP, name this psychologist who broke with Freud before developing his notion of the inferiority complex.;;(Alfred) Adler
;;He serves up such offerings as the short verse "a bunch of words" and misspells the name of the god Poseidon in Blinking with Fists, a recent collection of poetry.

The tale most out of place is that of the black man Rider in "Pantaloon in Black."  It is through various pieces of "The Old People," "Delta Autumn," and "Was" that we learn of the descendants of Carothers.

In exchange for amnesty, those who participated were banned from elected office and not allowed to vote for a period of three years.  In the end, only Charles Rose and John Bly were hanged, after this event had petered out with a final conflict at Egremont.

The better-known poem of this name alludes to earthquakes in the third stanza, as well as the precession of the equinoxes with the phrase "trepidation of the spheres."  The seventh stanza uses an analogy of a fixed and moving compass, which is completed by the poem's conclusion, which declares "Thy firmness makes my circle just, / And makes me end where I began."

;;His chief non-poetic work is the collection of stories and sketches, The Butterfly of Dinard.  In the next decade he curtailed his poetry writing following the publication of his series of love poems to his wife in Xenia.  Yet it was the American Dante scholar Irma Brandeis who appeared more often in his poems, in the figure of Clizia.  In Harmony and Pastels and Satura he moved away from the pessimism of earlier collections like The House of the Customs Officer and Occasions.  That earlier darkness is best seen in Cuttlefish Bones, in which he uses the various symbols of the Ligurian coast.
