My friend apparently got a full-ride to Emory. Legit?

Uh, thanks Alex.

Tucker,

Hint: communist hysteria leads to some interesting cultural effects on the United States. See movie previews and reading on IOBS.

Narintohn,

Incredibly legit. Not only is Emory a great university, it's really, really, really expensive. Full ride there ain't no joke.

why would someone want to expose that hiding place for the people in washington. it's such a cool place though. man no one would have known that there were people down there, if someone hadn't exposed it, lame.

hahhaa, if i had to watch one of those movies, id might fall asleep.

Dude Quach you start panicking when you don't copy the Bio notes fast enough. :P


Ok, that was an exaggeration..but only somewhat.

I feel like I've seen the body snatchers movie. Was it a coincidence that his name was McCarthy? I'm so glad movie trailers aren't like this anymore, they practically gave out the whole movie!

p.s. Did that plane outline in the beginning of the second trailer look like the one from the movie today? The one that flew over the farmer?

P.s.s this essay question seems really straight forward, I think I misunderstand it. Look forward to lots of emails this weekend Big C!

i get the conection between the body snatchers and the fear of communists but i still dont see why the clones in the movie were a threat.

i can see it now:"Oh no! its me!...so how do you like life, brandon #2?"

"i feel like im living in your shadow" said brandon#2.

also, in class when you were talking about the arms race with nuclear weapons aimed and ready to go,it reminded me of the movie War Games. im not sure when it was made but i just though something like that would be more scary during this section's time period and maybe alittle less boring for Tiffany!
