"The scene opens to what looks like a low-budget talk show. Seated is the host, Dick; a middle-aged man, slender, handsome and graying with Chicklet sized teeth. Next to him is his guest, a man dressed as a squirrel. The squirrel, named Nigel, sits on edge, agitated and uncomfortable, constantly twitching his nose and tail. Back from commercial, the show commences with a sound-track of applause."

"Out on her deck overlooking the wilderness, the mother was looking for her son. Her 13-year-old ran away again. She figured he was somewhere out in the back of their five acres, but she had no idea where. She clutched her whiskey glass and lit a cigarette. She screamed his name in a voice that sounded like she had a sore throat. She listened for a response as she finished her drink. In her Mrs. cleaver house dress and white ruffled apron, she thought to herself, boy is he …

Pears, Lindsay Smith

The Angle

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"A sweet, balding, elderly man waited patiently, crouched on all fours, behind the couch. His skinny frame, with yet a rotund belly, cast a shadow on the living room floor. He would remain there until the pinnacle of our camp-out, when he would come slowly crawling towards us. This happened every night as my grandfather, Pops, would join my sister and me in our elaborate world of imagination as 'Smokey the Bear' There were always pears; Pops loved pears."

Foucault And Habermas, David Ingram

Philosophy: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The article is a comprehensive comparison of Foucault and Habermas which focuses on their distinctive styles of critical theory. The article maintains that Foucault's virtue ethical understanding of aesthetic self-realization as a form of resistance to normalizing practices provides counterpoint to Habermas's more juridical approach to institutional justice and the critique of ideology. The article contains an extensive discussion of their respective treatments of speech action, both strategic and communicative, and concludes by addressing Foucault's understanding of parrhesia as a non-discursive form of truth-telling.

Kant On Duties To Animals, Nelson T. Potter Jr.

Department of Philosophy: Faculty Publications

According to Kant we human beings are finite rational beings, who also have an animal nature. Kant occasionally speculates that perhaps on other planets there may be quite different sorts of finite rational animals. But of course we have no specific knowledge of any such. Given that fact, all of our duties are duties to other human beings. We can have no duties to God because he is not an object of possible experience. There are no human beings such that they have only duties and no rights--they would be slaves or serfs. And the apparent duties that we have …

Inaccurate singers (N=168) from a population of 320 fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students, were divided into three subgroups and a random sample of subjects was selected to be in a treatment group (N=30) and a control group (N=30). The Yuba Method, which is meant to target training of the cricothyroid muscle utilizing a series of vocal exercises intended to facilitate maneuverability over the vocal register break, was administered …

Research & Issues in Music Education
