European Voyages of Exploration: Columbus
"In 1484, Columbus attempted to convince King John II of Portugal to sponsor his voyage west across the Atlantic. But Portugal was quite satisfied with what they had achieved in Africa and India, and felt no desire to explore what had previously been a disappointing Atlantic. Thus rejected, Columbus turned to Spain. His first attempt there was also unsuccessful, but in 1492, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain finally agreed to sponsor Columbus. This change of heart was due largely to Isabella’s desire to spread Christianity and find new sources of wealth."

Elvis Number Ones
"Elvis Number Ones is the companion website to the 2002 ""ELVIS 30 #1 Hits"" album. If your speakers are on, you will hear the introductory video playing at the top of the page, followed by cuts from each of the album’s tracks. The audio control is at the bottom of the page, where you can skip from song to song, or from year to year. That’s also where you’ll find links to two Elvis games, a photo gallery, a huge selection of video clips, and short articles about Elvis’ various artistic roles: musician, singer, composer, and movie star."

Elvis.com: The Official Site
"Welcome to Elvis Presley’s official web site, home of the undisputed King of Rock ’n’ Roll and his beloved Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee! On July 5, 1954, Elvis recorded his first album, and Memphis is commemorating the event with a celebration of fifty years of rock ’n’ roll. Since much of the site deals with visiting Graceland, the best click for virtual visitors is All About Elvis which leads to a bio, billboard chart stats, Elvis quotes, great trivia games, e-cards and free computer wallpaper."

Electric Franklin
Reviewed June 16, 2000 by a reader who is not affiliated with the site. I was looking for Benjamin Franklin information and was amazed that you missed the best one on the Net -- I had already found the ones you had, but you should fix your page to include the one at ushistory.org/franklin -- it even shows the kite experiment.

Einstein: Image and Impact
"The American Institute of Physics site (my pick of the day) explores Einstein’s life through historical accounts, photographs and sound clips. The Brief Version (recommended for elementary students and anyone not wanting to read all one hundred pages of the Main Exhibit) can be traversed by following the Next Page link at the very bottom of each page. Clicking on any other links for more detail will take you into the Main Exhibit. To return to your tour through the Brief Version, use your browser back button, or start again at the home page. <!--"
