It's been 50 years since JFK’s assassination and nearly 20 since Ronald Reagan disappeared from public life. While they never ran head-to-head, they developed their legacies in competing ways and those legacies battle each other even today. The story of one illuminates the other, and explains our expectations for the presidency and whom we elect. Even though one is the model Democrat and the other the model Republican, their appeal is now bipartisan.

Dr. Oliver Sacks's books Awakenings, An Anthropologist on Mars and the best-selling The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat have been acclaimed for their compassion in the treatment of patients affected with profound disorders. In A Leg to Stand On, it is Sacks himself who is the patient: an encounter with a bull on a desolate mountain in Norway has left him with a severely damaged leg. But what should be a routine recuperation is actually the beginning of a strange medical journey.

We are in a race between political and natural tipping points. Can we close coal-fired power plants fast enough to save the Greenland ice sheet and avoid catastrophic sea level rise? Can we raise water productivity fast enough to halt the depletion of aquifers and avoid water-driven food shortages? Can we cope with peak water and peak oil at the same time? These are some of the issues Lester R. Brown skillfully distills in World on the Edge.

India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. There were vast riches to be exploited and vast numbers of people to be subjugated. How better to achieve these aims than by building a rail network that facilitated the export of raw material and made it easier for troops to travel around the country to tackle uprisings? India joined the railway age late: the first line was not completed until 1853, but, by 1929, 41,000 miles of track served the country.

In this dazzling debut, Carla Shalaby, a former elementary school teacher, explores the everyday lives of four young "troublemakers", challenging the ways we identify and understand so-called problem children. Time and again, we make seemingly endless efforts to moderate, punish, and even medicate our children, when we should instead be concerned with transforming the very nature of our institutions, systems, and structures, large and small.

Conducted under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner, intended to stem the flow of firearms to Mexico, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) ran a series of “gun walking” sting operations, including Operations Wide Receiver and Operation Fast & Furious.

新年度を迎え、またネットではPTA周りの問題が騒がれる時期となった。毎年この時期は、新委員の選出が行われる。特に1年生の保護者は、まだ活動内容も勝手もわからないうちから委員選出に巻き込まれるわけで、なかなかしんどい話である。 娘が入学した中学校では例年、入学式に出席した保護者を、式典終了後に体育館に残して、そこで委員の選出を行なう。委員が決まらないと、体育館から出られないし帰れないという。PTAの委員決めの伝説は数々聞いてきたが、これはかなりの強行派だと言える。 そもそも任意団体であるPTAの委員を決めるのに、全員を体育館に軟禁することは違法である。いやその前に、入会の同意を取らないこと自体、憲法第21条に謳われた「結社の自由」に反する。憲法第21条の1には、以下のように書かれている。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

以前、新潟県青少年健全育成県民大会というのに呼ばれて、青少年のつながり依存について講演してきた。この講演を最初にやったのは、今年1月の内閣府主催「青少年のインターネット利用環境づくりフォーラム」だったのだが、これがなかなか評判がよく、いろんなところからあの講演をやってくれと依頼が来るようになった。もう今回で4回目ぐらいである。さてこの青少年健全育成県民大会というのは、現役の保護者やPTAではなく、いわゆる「なんとか育成会」クラスの方々が集まる会のようで、全体的に年齢層が高かった。育成会にはいろんなパターンがあるのだが、一般的には元PTA役員などが、すでに子供は大きくなって学校から離れてしまったけど、地域の有識者として学校や子供達に貢献したいという主旨で集まったものであることが多い。さらにスポーツの振興会とかと一緒になったりするケースもあって、本当に色々である。（本文より） 小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

Ogni comunità ha bisogno di giustificare le proprie disuguaglianze: l'uomo deve trovare le ragioni di queste disparità per non rischiare di vedere crollare l'intero edificio politico e sociale. In questa chiave, anche molte ideologie del passato non appaiono più così irragionevoli, se paragonate al nostro presente. Conoscere la molteplicità delle traiettorie e delle biforcazioni della storia può infatti aiutarci a interrogare le fondamenta delle nostre istituzioni e a intuire le loro trasformazioni.
