Key Challenges Facing President-Elect Bush, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Key Challenges Facing President-Elect Bush, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
This paper focuses on the serious issues facing our nation during a difficult and perhaps dangerous period. Politically, Bush must work to restore the public's confidence in the presidency and develop a good working relationship with Congress. Bush will also have to deal with a slowing economy in which inflation is still rising. Domestically, fiscal policy and regulation will prove difficult issues to resolve. Finally, president-elect Bush must set a strong foreign policy agenda, as there are problem areas almost everywhere one looks around the globe.
Causality And Subjectivity In The Religious Quest, Ursula Goodenough
Causality And Subjectivity In The Religious Quest, Ursula Goodenough
Biology Faculty Publications & Presentations
The dynamics of seeking causation and the dynamics of subjectivity are presented and then brought together in a consideration of the three core components of the religious quest: the search for and experience of ultimate explanations, the interiority of religious experience (“spirituality”), and the empathic experience of religious fellowship.
Religiopoiesis, Ursula Goodenough
Religiopoiesis, Ursula Goodenough
Biology Faculty Publications & Presentations
Religiopoiesis describes the crafting of religion, a core activity of humankind. Each religion is grounded in its myth, and each myth includes a cosmology of origins and destiny. The scientific worldview coheres as such a myth and calls for a religiopoietic response. The difficulties, opportunities, and imperatives inherent in this call are explored, particularly as they impact the working scientist.

Chromatin Organization And Transcriptional Control Of Gene Expression In Drosophila, G Farkas, B Leibovitch, Sarah C.R. Elgin

It is increasingly clear that the packaging of DNA in nucleosome arrays serves not only to constrain the genome within the nucleus, but also to encode information concerning the activity state of the gene. Packaging limits the accessibility of many regulatory DNA sequence elements and is functionally significant in the control of transcription, replication, repair and recombination. Here, we review studies of the heat-shock genes, illustrating the formation of a specific nucleosome array at an activatable promoter, and describe present information on the roles of DNA-binding factors and energy-dependent chromatin remodeling machines in facilitating assembly of an appropriate structure. Epigenetic …

Center for Social Development Research
This paper was commissioned for Inclusion in Asset Building: Research and Policy Symposium, an event hosted in September 2000 by the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis. The paper seeks to broaden understanding of asset programs by linking them to the normative perspectives of contemporary social welfare theory. These normative perspectives have been formulated by academics and social policy analysts in an attempt to capture and interpret the complexities of current social welfare realities. Although they invoke ideological preferences, these normative preferences are subsumed under the abstract formulations of normative theory. They reflect diverse beliefs about …

This paper presents quantitative and qualitative data regarding the saving and asset-accumulation strategies used by low-income participants in Individual Development Account programs(IDAs). the results of a cross-sectional survey with 298 IDA participants and case studies with 15 IDA participants—the first methods that assessed saving behavior among this population—demonstrate that low-income individuals use psychological and behavioral strategies to save, deposit, and maintain assets. the most frequentlyused strategies are behavioral saving strategiesfor increasing the efficiency of spending (e.g., shopping more carefully for food) and for reducing consumption (e.g., spending less on leisure). Qualitative results indicate that individuals also use goals and mental …

Commissioned for Inclusion in Asset Building: Research and Policy Symposium, an event hosted in September 2000 by the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis, this paper was developed for publication in Inclusion in the American Dream: Assets, Poverty, and Public Policy (Oxford University Press, 2005). This paper presents a strategy for helping the unbanked to build savings and to improve their credit-risk profiles in order to lower their cost of payment services, eliminate a common source of stress, and gain access to lower-cost mainstream credit.
