Answer 1

Answer: Disagreements over what kind of postwar government the Allies would establish in Poland surfaced first at the Yalta Conference. Truman demanded of the Soviet ambassador to the United States that a democratic government be established in Poland.

Answer 2

Answer: Both Truman and Eisenhower believed in self-determination and the superiority of American institutions. Both opposed communism, although Eisenhower was more willing to be accommodating. Ruthless Stalin was determined to rebuild the U.S.S.R. and maintain control of Eastern Europe.

Answer 3

Answer: The United States wanted to spread the vision of liberty, democracy, and economic opportunity, as well as promote free trade and markets for American products. The Soviets were concerned primarily with securing their borders, rebuilding their economy, and spreading communist ideology.

Answer 4

Answer: In 1950, Lorwin, a left-wing Socialist during the 1930s, found himself accused of having been a Communist party member and, hence, a security risk in his government job, which he had held for 16 years. He was brought before a congressional investigating committee, which failed to protect his civil rights by refusing to identify his accuser. He was victimized by Senator McCarthy and did not have his name cleared until 1954.

Answer 5

Answer: FALSE

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
