1) the civil authorities care, as the mime will likely be reported as missing, and the mime will probably require a search party to rescue him/her, or retrieve his/her dead body.
2) the assassination of archduke franz ferdinand of austria-hungary, combined with systems of alliances, which brought in more countries than really necessary. you also have to take into account that, at this time, imperalist europe often exploded into spontaneous wars even at the slightest hint of personal. definitely why autocratic rule is bad.
3) the excessively harsh demands the allies put on germany, which led to the rise of a nationalist-socialist movement (i.e., adolf hitler and the nazis) that both promised revenge on the allies and a major boost for the german people, who were poor and humiliated on the world arena. of course, as we all know, quite often, campaign promises fall short.
4) a german businessmen who used jews as slave labor in his business, but later used this as an opportunity to spare jews inevitable death in the concentration camps.
5) the basic plot: a young couple wander into a mid-western town where all the adults are apparently dead and the children participate in a cult that worships a malevolent force in the corn fields. a film and a stephen king novella.
6) hide in a closet for 19 years

tr.v. at?om?ized, at?om?iz?ing, at?om?iz?es
1) to reduce to or separate into atoms.
2) to reduce to tiny particles or a fine spray.
3) to break into small fragments.
4) to subject to bombardment with atomic weapons.
8) new media
