The Road To God Knows Where: Sustaining Northern Ireland Ngos In A Post-Agreement World, Karl Besel, Todd Bradley, Wolfgang Bielefeld
The Road To God Knows Where: Sustaining Northern Ireland Ngos In A Post-Agreement World, Karl Besel, Todd Bradley, Wolfgang Bielefeld
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) played important roles in the fostering of peace agreements within Northern Ireland. As violence has subsided somewhat since the late 1990s, these organizations have experienced cutbacks from both international and national public funding institutions. Decreases in governmental revenues for nonprofits have compelled NGO directors to become more adept in leveraging funds from private-sector sources. This article examines how successful these organizations have been in securing private-sector revenues since the Good Friday Agreement and provides insights with regard to how NGOs can become more sustainable in an era of fiscal austerity.
"I Am Haunted By The Question Of What I Shall Do": The Vocational Struggles Of A Teenage Girl In The 1940s As Seen Through Her Diary Accounts, Randy Mills
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
The immediate post-WWII era was a time of great transition and difficulty for many younger women. Among these difficulties for teenage women just graduating from high school loomed key vocational choices. Typically, these choices involved either taking up the traditional gender track role as housewife and mother, or going to college, postponing marriage, and developing a professional career. Although there have been studies investigating such circumstances, little attention has been given to the individual emotional aspects of this difficult vocational journey. In response to this void, this descriptive study seeks to gain deeper insight into the vocational struggles of one …

"That's Lynch up there," volunteered Duke. Tom peered through the darkness up the tracks towards a jeweled spot at the end of the long narrow valley. The lights looked like children being dismissed from school, marching up the sides of the two mountains at first in neat rows outlining the terraces, then the few ahead, forgetting discipline in the sheer joy of freedom, scattering over the mountains in disarray. That one highest up is like I am, Tim thought, gladdest to get away from school.

An Interview With Michael Martone, Matthew Baker
An Interview With Michael Martone, Matthew Baker
Booth
Depending on whom you ask, Michael Martone is either contemporary literature's most notorious prankster, innovator, or mutineer. In 1988 his AAP membership was briefly revoked after Martone published his first two books -- a "prose" collection titled Alive and Dead in Indiana and a "poetry" collection titled Seeing Eye -- which, aside from Seeing Eye's line breaks, were word-for-word identical. His membership to the Society of Scottish Novelists was revoked in 1991 after SSN discovered that, while Martone's registered nom de plume had been "born" in Edinburgh, Martone himself had never been to Scotland. His AWP membership was revoked …

Edwin Pitzpatrick, Palindromist, Robert Funt
Edwin Pitzpatrick, Palindromist, Robert Funt
Word Ways
It is generally agreed among logologists (and more general critics of literature) that Edwin Fitzpatrick is the greatest palindromist of modern times--and that he is, in fact, the only one who consistently elevated this apparently restrictive genre into work whose unlabored eloquence have more to do with lyrical and mystical poetry than the mere mechanics of a verbal tricksterism. He was able to compose full-length novels and plays in strictly symmetrical palindromes and, as we shall see, felt himself no more hampered in his verbal and grammatical choices than would any more original writer in the language.
To Free Up A Wealth Of Shining Promise, Pete Stickland
To Free Up A Wealth Of Shining Promise, Pete Stickland
Word Ways
In "The Meaning or Purpose of Life" in the May 1989 Word Ways, John Henrick generated five anagrams of WHAT IS THE MEANING OR PURPOSE OF LIFE, and invited readers to "extend what one hopes will become a significant collection in its own right." Accepting his challenge, I constructed 206 more anagrams, arranging them in 52 rhymed quatrains beginning with his original phrase and ending with his WINNIE-THE-POOH, SUFFER PIGLET'S AROMA. None of my anagrams surpasses the verve of Henrick's masterpiece. It says it all: if a fictitious bear can bear a fictitious pig, why not men men, men …
