I know the Christian Orthodox countries still celebrate them but I think I remember reading that we used to celebrate them in England too. Most poeple were named after a saint and his saint's day would have been even more important than his birthday. But when exactly did it stop (or begin to die out?)

I know the emergency services in NY have helicopters. Just shortly after the first strike (I saw the whole thing on TV virtually as it happened) the commentator wondered why the emergency services didn't have any helicopters up there. I have never heard the question raised since.
Yes, I know that heat rises, and before too long the heat and lack of visibility would have made helicopter use very problematic. But I've seen helicopters waterbombing fires in California from little more than tree height, so why wasn't the attempt made at least at the start?
The crews might witness ugly scenes as people fought to get on, but that never stopped them in Saigon in 1975.

for example: 911 attack. how many terrorists were there on the plane? i say 6 (forgot how many) so anyways, people dont wanna die, but because of their fear they cause thousands more to die. 1-20 men/women can rise up and attack the terrorists leaving the plane under no threats and 911 would have never occured. now when no one fights back, more people died. do u see this pattern? the bloodshed that is being cause NOW will prevent further blood from spilling in the future. that is my philosophy. same thing with the jewish in WWII. the population of the jewish overwhelm the nazis in 1 camp. so what is the germans got guns, its worth killing themselves if they know they r going to die anyways. never die without a friggen fight!!! (getting carried away, o well)

World War I had other names (The Great War and The War To End All wars) before it got the name "World War I", which makes sense only in the context of concluding that the war that became known as World War II was the second world war. So when and how these names came about? I posted this question on the discussion pages of Wikipedia and so far there is no answer.

Whenever I watch something about the 60s and the 70s and I encounter these two historical figures it sounds like they are different in terms of schools of thought. I always thought they were two sides of the same coin or at least fighting for the same thing: rights for black peoples. When I think about it, however, I've come to the realization that I know almost nothing about these two figures so I was wondering if some could tell explain to some of the differences and similarities of these two men.
