Barnhill, John H., PhD. "Drinking Age Debate." Salem Press Encyclopedia (2014): Research Starters. Web. 17 Feb. 2016.
"In 2008, more than one hundred college presidents triggered a national debate when they signed a petition stating that the legal drinking age of twenty-one years in the United States was ineffective in curtailing underage drinking. Some argue that the unrealistic age is a factor in the increase of extreme drinking and are petitioning to return the drinking age to eighteen years old. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 required states to raise the legal age for purchasing and possessing alcohol in public to twenty-one or face losing millions of dollars in federal funding."
Paglia, Camille. "It's Time To Let Teenagers Drink Again." Time 183.19 (2014): 22. Military & Government Collection. Web. 17 Feb. 2016.
"The author argues that the U.S. National Minimum Drinking Age Act, which states that alcohol can only be purchased by customers who are at least 21-years-old, needs to be repealed as of 2014 because it violates the civil rights of young Americans. According to the article, 18-year-old Americans can vote, enter into contracts, and serve in the nation's military."

LEAD- "The History of the New York Rangers"
There are three NHL Hockey teams in New York, including the Original six team the New York rangers. Today the Rangers still play in Madison Square Garden, the same place they started off their career when they joined the National Hockey League in 1925. They turned out to be very successful, winning three Stanley cups in 1927-28, 1932-33, and 1939-40. The Rangers "lost their identity" when the team was not very successful for two straight decades, missing the playoffs for 12 years after 1940. In 1993-94, the Rangers ended their period of loss when they won their first cup in 54 years! The Rangers are currently making their most promising run for the Cup since then.
