Wilkie was investigating a story that Cunningham had steered a defense computer contract to a company that was not very competent or experienced. Most of his Republican House Colleagues allowed this to go on thinking that Cunningham was just providing favors for campaign donations. Wilke could not find any incriminating evidence, but Cunningham had indeed rigged the contract because he was taking bribes from the company. He later went to jail as ‘the most corrupt congressman in American history.’
Swami Vivekananda, born Narendranath Datta (Bengali: [nɔrendronatʰ dɔto]), was an Indian Hindu monk. He was a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world, and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the contemporary Hindu reform movements in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began with the words "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
