Monuments commemorating great individuals and important events are a part of our culture. Most people are familiar with the Washington Monument, Mount Rushmore, the Taj Mahal, and Stonehenge. Stonehenge, in fact, is one of the Old World monuments most reproduced in the New World. It was recorded in bits and pieces over a period of months in three different studios. The instrumentation was recorded first, and then the vocals were added later.
Military intelligence can often mean the difference between victory and defeat in wartime.
During World War II, codebreaking was a major military intelligence strategy for both the Allies and Axis countries. In particular, Japan regularly intercepted U.S. communications and broke U.S. Marine Corps codes. Japan's codebreaking success allowed them to anticipate every move of the U.S. military forces during the early days of the war in the Pacific theater. Eventually, the Marine Corps developed a communications strategy that turned this situation around. The strategy was instrumental in winning the battle of Iwo Jima.
