| | | | 1976 - Deaths: Encyclopedia II - Mao Zedong - Political ideas During his early political career, Mao developed his political thinking. His ideas have had a monumental impact on generations of Chinese and have significantly affected the rest of the world.
Mao sought to transform traditional Marxism into a political ideology that could be implemented in a primarily agrarian economy such as China. Marx, whom Mao read voraciously, had focused his analysis of capitalism on the industrial economies of Western Europe and, accordingly, wage labor. China at the time was more of an agrarian economy, and m ...

| | |  1976 - Deaths: Parapsychology and personal survival after deathSupernatural
phenomena are still being dismissed by the academic community. Influenced by
recent breaktroughs leading to an explanation of some mysteries, they have come
to the conclusion that science will explain all eventually.
Scientists,
who would not dare to trespass in fields outside their speciality for fear of
being torn apart by fellow academics, feel free to make all sorts of
pronouncements in the media on subjects in the domain of parapsychological
research, of which they have no knowledge whatsoever. Like in all other areas
of science, parapsychology has narrowed down its research to specialist
sectors, hardly anyone daring to voice an opinion on general issues.

| | |  1976 - Deaths: Paganism PornographyPaganism & Pornography
At times my political views seem to lead me into
contradictions. Last month saw me writing a furious letter to Penthouse
magazine concerning their misinformed story on Witchcraft. Within two weeks I
was writing to the head of the QuickTrip Corporation protesting the removal of Penthouse from their stores. You'd think I would
have been happy at a blow struck against a magazine that maligned my religion.
Not so. At stake is the free expression of ideas. Misinformation and censorship
are both threats to
that freedom. Of the two, I judge censorship to be the greater threat. As long
as publishing continues unimpeded, retraction of misinformation is possible.
When publishing is censored, even that becomes impossible.

| | | | 1976 - Deaths: Encyclopedia II - Harold Wilson - In Parliament As the War drew to an end, he began searching for a seat to fight at the impending general election. Eventually he was selected for Ormskirk, which was then held by Stephen King-Hall. Wilson accidentally agreed to be adopted as the candidate immediately rather than delay until the election was called, and was therefore compelled to resign from the Civil Service. He used the time in between to write A New Deal for Coal which used his wartime experience to argue for nationalisation of the ...

| | | | 1976 - Deaths: Encyclopedia II - Shinkansen - History Japan was the first country to build dedicated railway lines for high speed travel. Due to the largely mountainous nature of the country, the pre-existing network consisted of 3 ft 6 in gauge (1,067 mm) narrow gauge lines, which generally took indirect routes and could not be adapted to higher speeds. In consequence, Japan had a greater need for new high speed lines than countries where the existing standard gauge or broad gauge rail system had more upgrade potential. In contrast to the older lines, Shinkansen lines are standard gauge, and use tunnels and viaducts to go through and ov ...

There are more jobs. There are no strikes." These approving comments were seen as a result of the friendship between Teresa and the Congress Party. Mother Teresa's comments were even criticized outside India within Catholic media. (Chatterjee, p. 276.)
An Indian-born writer living in Britain, Dr. Aroup Chatterjee, who had briefly worked in one of Mother Teresa's homes, began investigations into the finances and o ...
