The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was the large-scale American program to aid Europe where the United States gave monetary support to help rebuild European economies after the end of World War II in order to prevent the spread of Soviet communism. The plan was in operation for four years beginning in April 1948. The goals of the United States were to rebuild a war-devastated region, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, and make Europe prosperous again. The initiative was named after Secretary of State George Marshall. The plan had bipartisan support in Washington, where the Republicans controlled Congress and the Democrats controlled the White House. The Plan was largely the creation of State Department officials, especially William L. Clayton and George F. Kennan. Marshall spoke of urgent need to help the European recovery in his address at Harvard University in June 1947.
The reconstruction plan, developed at a meeting of the participating European states, was established on June 5, 1947. It offered the same aid to the Soviet Union and its allies but they did not accept it, as to do so would be to allow a degree of US control over the Communist economies . During the four years that the plan was operational, US $13 billion in economic and technical assistance was given to help the recovery of the European countries that had joined in the Organization for European Economic Co-operation. This $13 billion was in the context of a U.S. GDP of $258 billion in 1948, and was on top of $13 billion in American aid to Europe between the end of the war and the start of the Plan that is counted separately from the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan was replaced by the Mutual Security Plan at the end of 1951.
Ludwig Wilhelm Erhard (German pronunciation: [ˈluːdvɪk ˈɛʁhaʁt]; 4 February 1897 – 5 May 1977) was a German politician affiliated with the CDU and Chancellor of West Germany from 1963 until 1966. He is notable for his leading role in German postwar economic reform and economic recovery ("Wirtschaftswunder", German for "economic miracle"), particularly in his role as Minister of Economics under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in 1949 to his own ascension to the Chancellorship in 1963.
Born in Fürth, Kingdom of Bavaria, from 1913 to 1916 Erhard was a commercial apprentice. After his apprenticeship he worked as retail salesman in his father's draper's shop.
He joined the German forces during World War I 1916 as an artilleryman, fought in Romania and was seriously injured near Ypres in 1918. Erhard could no longer work as a draper and began to study economics, first in Nuremberg, later in Frankfurt am Main. He received his PhD from Franz Oppenheimer in 1925.
During his time in Frankfurt he married Luise Lotter (1893–1975), widow Schuster, on 11 December 1923. After his graduation they moved to Fürth and he became executive in his parents' company in 1925. After three years he became assistant at the Institut für Wirtschaftsbeobachtung der deutschen Fertigware, a marketing research institute. Later, he became deputy director of the institute.
Avram Noam Chomsky (/ˈnoʊm ˈtʃɒmski/; born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher,cognitive scientist, historian, and activist. He is an Institute Professor and Professor (Emeritus) in the Department of Linguistics & Philosophy at MIT, where he has worked for over 50 years. Chomsky has been described as the "father of modern linguistics" and a major figure of analytic philosophy. His work has influenced fields such as computer science, mathematics, and psychology.
Ideologically identifying with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism, Chomsky is known for his critiques of U.S. foreign policy and contemporary capitalism, and he has been described as a prominent cultural figure. His media criticism has included Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (1988), co-written with Edward S. Herman, an analysis articulating the propaganda model theory for examining the media.
According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index in 1992, Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar from 1980 to 1992, and was the eighth most cited source overall. Chomsky is the author of over 100 books. He is credited as the creator or co-creator of the Chomsky hierarchy, the universal grammar theory, and the Chomsky–Schützenberger theorem.
She's like a child that don't know no better
And I've been told that I'm no good to love her
But that don't mean a thing to me
'Cause when she's in my arms
She's all the woman that I need
She nothing like any other lover
Oh, she's just fine with who I am
And she don't see someone else in me
And when she's in my arms
She's all the woman that I need
She believes in make believe
Not makin' love a game
All she wants is my honesty
Right or wrong
She loves me just the same
'Cause she's like a child that don't know no better
And I've been told that I'm no good to love her
But that don't mean a thing to me
'Cause when she's in my arms
Hey guys, what's going on?
Man, do you even own a watch?
Glad you could make it
Sorry I'm late
Let's hit the road
Well, there's that tree where I carved her name
(Aw that's sweet)
Over there's the place where we used to eat
(You and her, and what, 400 other boyfriends?)
And there's the road that leads down to the lake where I kissed her for the first time
(Aw, what a guy)
Here's where she left me
You know, I admit that it got to me a little
(A little? Oh come on!)
I guess there for a while I didn't know what to do
(Man, will you shut up? Turn on the radio)
But I know true love is gonna come around again someday
(Yeah, maybe in another 12, 5, uh never, or, ok, yeah sure, ok)
Well this is just something I have to work through
(Shut up!)
Other than her always being on my mind
And even though I think about her all the time
I never miss, I never miss that girl
Except for the occasional falling all apart
It's pretty much only when every day stars
I'll never miss, I'll never miss
I might reminisce but I'll never miss that girl
(I think something just fell out of your wallet, man)
Yeah, that's her picture
(Oh man, I think it scared my dog, and he's blind! Oh wow!)
You know, I've been meaning to put that thing away
(Please do man, cause it's killing me)
Hey is that my cell phone ringing?
(Yeah, here you go)
Tell me, what does that number say on the caller ID anyway?
(Your MOM!)
Other than her always being on my mind
And even though I think about her all the time
I never miss, I never miss that girl
Except for the occasional falling all apart
It's pretty much only when every day stars
I'll never miss, I'll never miss
I might reminisce but I'll never miss that girl
Other than her always being on my mind
And even though I think about her all the time
I never miss, I never miss that girl
Except for the occasional falling all apart
It's pretty much only when every day stars
I'll never miss, I'll never miss
All I ever wanted to be
Is where you are
Whenever you're not with me
You're just too far
I close my eyes and I am lying next to you
And I feel breathless when I hear your name
Chorus
Cause no one ever brought me closer to heaven
No one ever made me feel like you do
No one ever made it seem like religion
No one ever loved me like you do
And mabye you know by now
You're a part of me (sweetest little part of me)
I live to show you how
You're the heart of me (you're the heart of me)
Just when I think I can't take it anymore
There's an angel waiting at my door
Cause no one ever brought me close to heaven
No one ever amde me feel like you do
No one ever made it seem like religion
No one ever loved me like you do
These are the days when madness follows me around
I know everything's gonna be alright'
As long as I know that I'll be there
With you tonight
Cause no one ever brought me closer to heaven
No one ever made me feel like you do (no one ver made me)
No one ever made it seem like religion
No one ever loved me like you do
Nobody else now baby
Cause no one ever brought me closer to heaven
No one ever made me fell like you do
No one ever made it seem like religion
Girl I haven't know you long
I may be coming on too strong
And if I am
I hope you understand
No I'm not quite sure of what this is
But I know I've never felt like this
And I'm praying
You feel it too
I can think of a million things
That I'd like to say
Standing here face to face
All I wanna do
All I really wanna do
Is kiss you
Girl I feel that fire
I see in your eyes
All I wanna be
All I really wanna be
Is with you
Forever and ever
But baby tonight
All I really wanna do
Is, kiss you
I hope you know it's not like me
To open up so easily
Girl if you only knew
What I'm going through
Lovin' you
I'm trying to hold these feelings back
But it's no use
Can't you see that
I'm out of entire control
Right now all I know
Even though it's crazy girl
I just can't resist
Taking this chance
At a moment like this
All I wanna do
All I really wanna do
Is kiss you
Girl I wanna feel that fire
I see in your eyes
Oh, all I wanna be
All I really wanna be
Is with you
Forever and ever
But baby tonight
All I really wanna do
Is kiss you
I don't even want to take the time
To figure this out
I just wanna close my eyes
Cause baby right now
Oh, oh
All I wanna do
All I really wanna do
Is kiss you
Girl I wanna feel that fire
I see in your eyes
Oh, all I wanna be
All I really wanna be
Is with you
Forever, and ever
But baby tonight
All I really wanna do, yeah
All I really wanna do
Last night I tried so hard to sleep
I counted half a million sheep
And my whole life passed right before my eyes
I pondered on the universe
It only went from bad to worse
And I wondered what would happen if I died
I think I've been thinking way too much
I say it's a perfect time for us, to
Live it up
There ain't no time to waste no time
And there ain't no better time to celebrate
Hurry up, oh can't you feel the urgency
There ain't nothing we can do when it's too late
And too late's gonna catch us soon enough
So let's live it up
Old Man Jones with all he knows
You never see him smile
You know he's sittin' on that big portfolio
It's clear that all that's on his mind
Is the top of the ladder and the bottom line
But he can take it with him when he goes
Poor old Jones he never learned to dance
I bet he'd trade it all for one more chance to
Live it up
There ain't no time to waste no time
And there ain't no better time to celebrate
Hurry up, oh can't you feel the urgency
There ain't nothing we can do when it's too late
And too late's gonna catch us soon enough
So let's live it up
Sand keeps slipping through the hour glass
Everyday's more precious than the last, so
Live it up
There ain't no time to waste no time
And there ain't no better time to celebrate
Hurry up, yeah life is an emergency
There ain't nothing we can do when it's too late
And too late's gonna catch us soon enough
So let's live it up
Live it up
There ain't no time to waste no time
And there ain't no better time to celebrate
Hurry up, oh can't you feel the urgency
There ain't nothing we can do when it's too late
And too late's gonna catch us soon enough
It's always something
You gotta be here, you gotta be there
You're always running, always got to be somewhere
No time for living, and the days just slip away
You keep on giving till it's all work and no play
You live by the book, and I live on a prayer
Well, I know how you look with the wind in your hair
[Chorus:]
Ain't talking about love
Baby, I ain't nobody's Romeo
I'm talking about you and me, wild and free
Flat out, down a winding road
And I'm not sure just what we'll find
But I won't stop until you're satisfied
So climb in, baby, and enjoy the ride
Call me crazy
'Cause I don't care where this will end
But it's amazing how much fun you have
Not knowing what's ahead
And we might make it, or we might just go down in flames
But you'll be glad you took the chance, and, girl, you'll
never be the same
Somewhere down deep you want so bad
To live the wildest dreams that you never had
I can tell I'm home by the way they're driving
The pace is slow and the air is clear
Ain't nobody in a real big hurry
There's not many deadlines to meet around here
I've been gone for way too long
Been too far out of touch
And looking around me I can see
That just to be happy, you don't need much
Oh, God bless this town
Tall church steeples and a big playground
Streets roll up when the sun goes down
And love runs deep as the trees are round
I'm back on hallowed ground
God bless this town
I see the old bank clock's still broken
I guess they'll get around to it one of these days
Evelyn Pane still working at the drugstore
They're still hanging out at the hardware on main
Not much changes here
Except the stoplights, red and green
My old house still looks the same
Everybody's on the front porch, waiting on me
Oh, God bless this town
Tall church steeples and a big playground
Streets roll up when the sun goes down
And love runs deep as the trees are round
I'm back on hallowed ground
God bless this town
I remember the day I left here
Going out on my own
Mama said, "Boy, no matter where you wind up
This will always be your home"
Oh, God bless this town
Tall church steeples and a big playground
Streets roll up when the sun goes down
And love runs deep as the trees are round
I'm back on hallowed ground
God bless this town
Oh, God bless this town
Tall church steeples and a big playground
Streets roll up when the sun goes down
And love runs deep as the trees are round
I'm back on hallowed ground
I don't have to tell You what I'm going through
I know You can see it for yourself
But in the early morning hours
In the darkness of this room
I've never been so desperate for Your help
I still believe that You made me to be with her
Until the day I leave this world behind
But on a pillow wet with tears that still taste of
angry words
I can't blame her if she's changed her mind
[Chorus:]
Is she gone?
You're the only one who knows
If that girl who's lying next to me
Has left me here alone
Is she gone?
Is it too late to hear my prayers?
I know that she's right there
But is she gone?
You've already blessed me more than I deserve
And we've both seen the sinner that I've been
So You don't owe me anything, and asking this takes
nerve
But You saved us once, Lord, could You again?
[Chorus]
She's the warmth of the sun in my world
And we both know I can't give without that girl
[Chorus]
I know that she's right there
It was always about me
My job, my life, my time
Was all I cared about
Myself
I only needed myself
To get me through my life
But suddenly I foundThat
Chorus
I want
I need
I crave
I breathe
I feel
I hope
I dream
I know
I trust
I love
The night
I just discovered the night
How magical it is
Since you're in my arms
Oh, these days
I wake up and I'm amazed
How much I want to give
Since you've touched my heart
Chorus
It wasn't love
It wasn't fair
There's just one reason my world changed
(one reason my world's changed girl it's you)
Chorus x2
Baby I love you (Baby I love you)
I tell myself to hold on tight
Any day now it'll be all right
Thought I loved enough for two
Even believing won't make it true
One heart waits, while one heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms, but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold, but not to have
And it hurts so much to want someone
So bad
Am I a fool-to wait for you
I keep pushing for you to pull me through
A little taste of love is a bitter pill
I can't make it without you
No, I never will
One heart waits, while one heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms, but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold, but not to have
And it hurts so much to want someone
So bad
What can I do to make you want me too
The way that I'm wanting you now
Because what I don't see you when you look at me
I'm trying to change somehow
Please tell me how
One heart waits, while one heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms, but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold, but not to have
And it hurts so much to want someone
So bad
One heart waits, while one heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms, but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold, but not to have
And it hurts so much to want someone
