Milton And The Fascists, David Boocker

English Faculty Publications

ln August 1925 the Italians placed a memorial tablet honoring Milton on the wall of the Paradisino at Vallombrosa, where he is said to have stayed during his tour of ltaly. Actual evidence that Milton was at Vallombrosa is scant; all we really have are lines 302-4 of Book I of Paradise Lost. Nevertheless, the Italians did place the memorial tablet in his honor. The question is why.

Structure Of Ba2cu(Bo3)2, Robert W. Smith, Douglas A. Keszler

Chemistry Faculty Publications

As part of our program in the synthesis and characterization of new solid-state borates, we recently synthesized the polymorphic compound Sr2Cu(BO3)2 (Smith & Keszler, 1989) which undergoes a first-order phase transition from a low-temperature form to a high-temperature form at 1073 K. The high-temperature beta form exhibits larger coordination numbers for the Sr atoms and a substantial rearrangement of the copper borate network relative to that of the low-temperature... form.

Bringing Old And Young Together, Jane Angelis

"I just can't get it all done!" It is the classic lament of the teacher stretched too thin by the demands of the classroom. Imagine what educators could accomplish if we only had enough help...

Intergenerational Programs: A Manual For Success, Ramona Frischman

Intergenerational

Although there are always social issues which much be faced by educators and by society, three issues in particular demand attention in the 1990s. Racism, sexism, and a third "ism" - one relatively new to our vocabulary - ageism. Referring to the discrimination against a group or an individual because of age, ageism is most often practiced against members of two distinct groups in our society: those over 60, and those under the ago of 18.

Youth Service: From Youth As Problems To Youth As Resources, Bonnie Benard

School K-12

New Paradigm "Youth as problems, or youth as resources? Communities with problems or communities with resources?" These opening sentences to Reaching Out. a recent book on establishing community service programs for youth, encapsulate a critical issue I see confronting anyone relating to or working with young people, whether as parents, teachers, community folk, or prevention advocates and other helping professionals: the framework or perspective from which we view youth in our society today. Whether we view youth as problems or as resources determines not only our expectations for our youth and our actions towards them, but also the type of …

Can It Really Be Unconstitutional To Regulate Product Safety Information?, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In this paper, I examine the impact of two Supreme Court decisions on information-based product safety regulation which, in a variety of guises in Canada, can be said to restrict manufacturers', distributors' and marketers' ability to "express" themselves. In the end, I conclude that, if one appreciates the justification for and the processes by which this kind of product safety regulation is instituted, there is only a small risk that the current regulatory activity will be held unconstitutional. When one takes into account the degree of co-operation between business and government in establishing the content of most regulatory activity and …

Regulating Regulators: The Legal Environment Of The State, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In this paper I focus on the ability of tort law to reduce primary costs, or losses associated with the number and seriousness of accidents. In one sense I will be analysing the state as if it were a private firm in which losses suffered by private individuals and firms are externalities. Several years ago Mark Spitzer wrote a paper on this topic in which he posited several models of state activity and analysed the incentive effects of liability rules in each case. In my view Spitzer's general conclusion - the rule which may be synthesized from all of the …

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article will present come impressions of the effect on the U.S. International Trade Commission of key elements of the 1979-1980 reforms contained in the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 and the Customs Courts Act of 1980. The reforms established the current system for the judicial review of antidumping and countervailing duty determinations. This Article will first address some of the observable impacts of the judicial review system on the operation of the Commission and will then attempt to examine the operation of the U.S. Court of International Trade as an expert tribunal with first-level appellate responsibility over trade cases. …

The Land Of Liquidated Damages: Recent Judicial Decisions And Unresolved Issues, Barbara M. Epstein

Fordham International Law Journal

By virtue of the Customs Courts Act of 1980 (the "1980 Act"),' the U.S. Court of International Trade (the "CIT") was granted new and exclusive jurisdiction over certain actions commenced by the United States, including actions "'to recover upon a bond relating to the importation of merchandise." As a result of the 1980 legislation, the CIT became the new forum for suits instituted by the United States to collect liquidated damages which had been assessed by the U.S. Customs Service ("Customs") against, an importer and/or its surety for breach of the terms of an importation bond. This Article shall concentrate …
