Extractions: Home Student Work Uptown 2002 Rockefeller Drug Laws: A Non-Factor By John Romano The crowd of up to 80 people that gathered outside Gov. Pataki's New York City office at 40th Street and Third Avenue on Oct. 30th wanted one thing a repeal of the Rockefeller drug laws. After several speeches, a small group tried to enter Pataki's office. They were arrested. State Sens. David Paterson and Thomas Duane were among them. The event received little media attention and did not trigger a response from any of the three major candidates for governor as they made their final appeals to voters. Drug law reform was simply not a major political issue in the New York governor's race. "It's not a big issue between them because they [the candidates] haven't made it one," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac Polling Institute. The Rockefeller drug laws are named for the former New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. In 1973 he pushed legislation through the Senate that called for strict penalties for drug selling and possession as a way to deter increasing drug use. Drug and prison reform advocacy groups argue that the drug laws are racist because many African-Americans and Latinos are sentenced to long prison terms for minor, nonviolent possession charges.

Stephen Perry Both American studies and international studies have benefited immensely from having a multiplicity of resources and sites available on the Internet. Although these two fields are distinct in many obvious ways, they both share a robust interdisciplinary approach to their respective areas of inquiry in such fields as history, literature, folklore, politics, popular culture, economics, mass media analyses, among a host of other related topics. Both also share a constancy of academic discourse (grounded in similar theoretical approaches) which is why it makes sense (at least in Internet terms) to group them loosely together as being two sides of roughly the same coin. For researchers specifically interested in both American studies and international studies, these sites include anything from discussion groups to full-text speeches and documentsall seamlessly connected by a variety of hypertext links pointing to an abundance of even more relevant online resources. As a separate field, American studies emerged out of the historical crises of the 1930s and 1940s.1 However, the field developed its first real growth in the climate of nationalism and patriotism during World War II and the immediate postwar era, as that period was one of the main agents responsible for the defense of uniquely American values and served as the spawning ground for the study of American culture and society around the world, a situation that also intertwined with the emergence of international and area studies.2
