"Here you will find one of the greatest historical atlases: Charles O. Paullin and John K. Wright's Atlas of the Historical Geography of the United States, first published in 1932. This digital edition reproduces all of the atlas's nearly 700 maps. Many of these beautiful maps are enhanced here in ways impossible in print, animated to show change over time or made clickable to view the underlying data-remarkable maps produced eight decades ago with the functionality of the twenty-first century."

"Like his teammate Ray Rice, the Ravens linebacker was accused of beating up his wife. But in his case, there was no video." This really makes me think about how we could use this article, plus a variety of other documents, to discuss how various forms of media affect public/individual perception, feelings, emotions, decisions, etc. This is obviously a serious topic, and shouldn't be treated lightly, but feel like it could lead into some particularly deep discussion in a high school AP class, like AP language.
