The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America is a 2003 non-fiction book written by Erik Larson. Set in 1893 Larson weaves the story of Daniel H. Burnham, the architect behind the Chicago 1893 World’s Fair, and Dr. H. H. Holmes, America’s first serial killer. Being a bit of a crime buff I chose to read this book because it covered a topic I was not entirely familiar with, H. H. Holmes, and I wished to learn more about him. The book begins in 1912 aboard the RMS Olympic, on April 12th – the day her sister ship, the RMS Titanic, has struck an iceberg and is sinking. Daniel Burnham, aged and ailing from gout, commissions the ship’s steward to send a ship-to-ship telegraph to him to Francis Millet aboard the Titanic.
On Your Mark When assigned to write an essay on the Olympic Games from a functionalist and conflict point of view I immediately thought, “Well what exactly are the Olympic Games?” The Olympic Games are defined as the following: “An international sports contest: a large-scale international sports contest intended to promote international goodwill. It has been held every four years since 1896, except for 1940 and 1944, in different cities around the world.”(Bing: Dictionary) To me; however, I do not think this technically. I simply think of a tremendous gathering of individuals hording together to watch a few of the world’s greatest athletes. Unfortunately, when I imagine “the world’s greatest athletes” women do not appear. I am almost quite certain that the “average Joe” does not exactly visualize an image of a perspiring woman, in mid-stride, thirsting to cross the finish line before her female adversaries.

The United States was a dominant force in international competition for decades prior to inclusion in the Olympic Games with American teams focusing on Pan-Am Games and World Championship titles. The sport was added to the Olympic Programme in a slightly unusual fashion in 1991. The majority of IOC decisions happen on a seven-year timeline. When Atlanta was selected as the host of the Centennial Olympic Games on September 18, 1990, softball was not on the programme. A former IOC President, Juan Antonio Samaranch, pushed for softball’s addition to the program for the Atlanta Games at a 1991 IOC meeting in Birmingham, England, in a move to increase gender equity in Olympic participation.
