I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but there's really no reason to use an instance of Zend_Db_Table_Abstract to perform a query with joins - it just tends to screw stuff up (you have to do the setIntegrityCheck thing.. it's just weird).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
