Boston + Brahmin = White Anglo Saxon Protestant
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The term "Boston Brahmin" is associated
with -- among other things -- the American premiere
of Brahms' Second Symphony. It was performed by
the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the historic
Orpheum Theatre built in 1852, on Hamilton Place
off Tremont Street. Many in the audience walked
out, and music reviewers called those who stayed
"Brahmins." Oliver Wendell Holmes called Boston
"The Hub of the Universe." Some of the so-called
"Boston Brahmins" referred to the city as
"The Athens of America." Those are some notes of
the past concerning the Brahmins, but where are
they now?

Chupacabras: Clearly Fictional Creatures
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Fantastic creatures have existed throughout time as the direct result of man's overactive imagination. From the Loch Ness Monster to Bigfoot, history has never had a shortage of wholly unaccountable, bizarre living things and the people who have sighted them. The fervor and hype surrounding one particularly intriguing creature named Chupacabras was especially noted during the last decade of the twentieth century, with its telltale legacy of leaving behind blood-sucked animal carcasses a recurring find in Puerto Rico. Indeed, arguments are strong from both sides -- with believers surmising the short, red-eyed reptilian-like attacker to be an alien, mutant or, worse yet, a secret government experiment gone awry -- but the lack of any more convincing evidence beyond visual sightings does not establish much credibility to its existence, leaving only one possible theory: Chupacabras is wholly fictional. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
