  • Incumbent Democratic President Bill Clinton won reelection over Republican candidate Bob Dole and Reform Party candidate Ross Perot in the 1996 election.
  • The United States presidential election of 1996 was a contest between the Democratic national ticket of incumbent President Bill Clinton of Arkansas and Vice President Al Gore of Tennessee and the Republican national ticket of former Senator Bob Dole of Kansas for President and former Housing Secretary Jack Kemp of New York for Vice President.
  • In the Republican Primaries, Bob Dole emerged as the successful candidate to run against Clinton and Perot.
  • With respect to the issues, Bob Dole promised a 15% across-the-board reduction in income tax rates.
  • Bob Dole lost the 1996 presidential election by a wide margin.

• The Clinton Administration Moves Right

  • When the 104th United States Congress convened in January 1995, House Republicans voted former Minority Whip Newt Gingrich – the chief architect of their victory and author of the "Contract with America" – Speaker of the House, while the new senatorial Republican majority chose Bob Dole, previously Minority Leader, as Majority Leader.

• National Convention

  • Vice-Presidential Candidate Bob Dole is on the far left, then Nancy Reagan, Governor Ronald Reagan is at the center shaking hands with President Gerald Ford, Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller is just to the right of Ford, followed by Susan Ford and First Lady Betty Ford.

• Directed or "bonded" Ties in the graph

  • Each alter does not necessarily feel the same way about each tie as ego does: Bob may regard himself as a good friend to Alice, but Alice does not necessarily regard Bob as a good friend.
  • In a directed graph, Bob could choose Ted, and Ted choose Bob.
  • This would be represented by headed arrows going from Bob to Ted, and from Ted to Bob, or by a double-headed arrow.
  • But, this represents a different meaning from a graph that shows Bob and Ted connected by a single line segment without arrow heads.
  • Such a graph would say "there is a relationship called close friend which ties Bob and Ted together. " The distinction can be subtle, but it is important in some analyses.

• The "adjacency" matrix

  • Bob may feel close to Carol, but Carol may not feel the same way about Bob.
  • Remember that the rows represent the source of directed ties, and the columns the targets; Bob chooses Carol here, but Carol does not choose Bob.
  • That is, for example, does Bob regard himself as a close friend of Bob?
  • If I take all of the elements of a row (e.g. who Bob chose as friends: ---,1,1,0) I am examining the "row vector" for Bob.
  • If I look only at who chose Bob as a friend (the first column, or ---,0,1,0), I am examining the "column vector" for Bob.

• Seeing patterns

  • Suppose we were describing the structure of close friendship in a group of four people: Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice.
  • Suppose that Bob likes Carol and Ted, but not Alice; Carol likes Ted, but neither Bob nor Alice; Ted likes all three of the other members of the group; and Alice likes only Ted (this description should probably strike you as being a description of a very unusual social structure).
  • For example, our eye is led to scan across each row; we notice that Ted likes more people than Bob, than Alice and Carol.
  • Bob likes Bob, Carol likes Carol) are empty.

• The United States and the World

  • Dole, serving as a friend of both Hawaiian royalty and the elite immigrant community, advocated the westernization of Hawaiian government and culture.
  • King Kalākaua appointed Dole a justice of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Hawaii on December 28, 1887, and to a commission to revise judiciary laws on January 24, 1888.
  • Dole reviewing American troops heading to Manila in 1898
  • Dole of the Republic of Hawaii, his cabinet, and officers of the United States Army, reviewing from the steps of the former royal palace the first American troops to arrive in Honolulu, in 1898, on their way to Manila to capture the city, which Commodore Dewey held at bay with the guns of his fleets.

• Back EMF, Eddy Currents, and Magnetic Damping

  • Consider the apparatus shown in , which swings a pendulum bob between the poles of a strong magnet.
  • If the bob is metal, there is significant drag on the bob as it enters and leaves the field, quickly damping the motion.
  • If, however, the bob is a slotted metal plate, as shown in (b), there is a much smaller effect due to the magnet.
  • There is no discernible effect on a bob made of an insulator.
  • (c) There is also no magnetic damping on a nonconducting bob, since the eddy currents are extremely small.

• Combining multiple views

  • For example, in the output matrix we would have an element that described the relation between Bob and Ted.
  • We have data on how Bob, Ted, Carol, and Alice each perceive the relation of Bob and Ted.
  • The LAS method focuses on only the two involved nodes (Bob and Ted) and ignores the others.
  • The intersection method gives a "1" to the tie if both Bob and Ted say there is a tie, and a "0" otherwise.
  • Union LAS assigns a "1" to the pair-wise relation if either actor (i.e. either Bob or Ted) says there is a tie.

• S-Corporations (S-Corps)

  • Widgets Inc, an S-Corp, makes $10,000,000 in net income (before payroll) in 2006 and is owned 51% by Bob and 49% by John.
  • Keeping it simple, Bob and John both draw salaries of $94,200 (which is the Social Security Wage Base for 2006, after which no further Social Security tax is owed).
  • If for some reason, Bob (as the majority owner) was to decide not to distribute the money, both Bob and John would still owe taxes on their pro-rata allocation of business income, even though neither received any cash distribution.
