The Overman Committee was a special subcommittee of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary chaired by North Carolina Democrat Lee Slater Overman. Between September 1918 and June 1919, it investigated German and Bolshevik elements in the United States. It was an early forerunner of the better known House Un-American Activities Committee, and represented the first congressional committee investigation into communism. The Committee was originally tasked with investigating pro-German sentiments in the American liquor industry. After World War I ended in November 1918 and the German threat lessened, it turned its attention to communist Bolshevism. Bolshevism had appeared as a threat during the Red Scare of 1919–20 after the Russian Revolution in 1917 saw the Bolsheviks take power in Russia. The Committee's hearings into Bolshevik propaganda, conducted from February 11 to March 10, 1919, helped foster an image of communism as a threat to America. The Committee's final report was released in June 1919. It reported on German propaganda, Bolshevism, and other "un-American activities" in the United States and on likely effects of communism's implementation in the United States. It described German, but not communist, propaganda efforts. The Committee's report and hearings were instrumental in fostering anti-Bolshevik opinion. (more...)

How can I find a 1993 Mercedes E-class 300?
Q. I'm living in the Chicago area and a Yahoo Answers responder praised the value of his MB Coupe which he bought 2 yrs ago..."I bought a 300CE Coupe, with 81K original miles, for $7900 two years ago, change the oil, and put gas in it, that's it. It even FASTER than my 911 on the top end (911 will run until about 145MPH, while the benz crusies effortlessly at 151-152MPH)"...I have been reading reviews of this car and it looks like an incredible ride & value...but can't seem to find one of these "gems" anywhere...are their MB clubs, Forums or MB networks where I can find a 1-owner 1993 Mercedes E-class 300? And if that's not hard enough...any clues on how I can locate the convertible/cabriolet model for the same year?

It's the lowest mileage your likely to find. (no affiliation). I know the cars very well by my trade and coincidentally I am also a Porsche 911 owner (mine is a 1983). That said, take it from someone with experience and without ego that there is absolutely no way a 300CE gets anywhere near 150mph, furthermore my 911 tops out at a gear limited 130+. I do have a 1994 E320 which has more power than a 300CE. My E is 100% solid with even uprated Bilstein shocks and I could not say I would feel comfortable driving it even at my 911's top speed of 130 even if I could get it there (I… [cont.]

turning a barracks room into a home?
Q. I live in a Marine Corps barracks and ive went a long way in turning it from an old room into a home. I bought a couch, a coffee table, some posters, a little bowl that goes on the table to put candy in. I need some more ideas or reasonable tips, does anybody have any? I'd prefer Marine responders because they'll know what I'm working with here, but anyone is welcome thanks in advance

A. To add warmth place an area rug in front the sofa/under the coffee table (choose a rug that pulls out the colors in your poster) display your guitar using a guitar stand A leafy plant adds color and good for your health Add storage, style and extra seating for small spaces Hued lighting floor lamp

adopting step children?
Q. I have 2 sons from a previous relationship. The bio dad has signed all parental rights over. My fiancee would like to adopt them now since he really is the only dad they know and he loves them like his own. My question is..if we are not married yet, can he still adopt them or must we b married first. We live in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada so local responders would be really helpful.
