("Mr. Sacks received his BA in Political Science, Magna Cum Laude, from Carleton College")
(b) Carleton College
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carleton_College
(founded in 1866 by Congregational church; located in Northfield, Minnesota ("40 miles south of the downtowns of Minneapolis and St Paul": en.wikipedia.org for Northfield, Minn); in 1871, William Carleton of Charlestown, Massachusetts donated $50,000 and the college was renamed after the donor)
(c) My understanding is that beaches that are suitable for amphibious landing are few SPOTS in Taiwan, NOT stretches as depicted in a figure of this article -- or in Normandy, France, for that matter. |
