http://hnn.us/articles/1707.html

Extractions: Last week the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation released yet another report indicating that the states are neglecting the study of history and that students find history dull. Chester Finn, Jr. , one of the authors of the report, identified one of the problems as the absence of rigorous state standards: In an era of "standards-based" reform, we now understand that the subjects most apt to be taken seriously and taught well in our schools are those for which the state sets high-quality standards that make clear what teachers are expected to teach and children to learn; where the statewide assessment system regularly appraises how well those things are in fact being learned; and where the "accountability" system confers rewards and sanctions—on students, educators, and schools alike—according to how well they have succeeded in this teaching and learning. In that context, however, U.S. history has not fared well. While almost every state requires students to sit through at least one course in this subject (typically in eleventh grade), history seldom even appears in statewide testing and accountability systems. Of the 24 states that have or intend to have high school exit exams by 2008, only nine include social studies among the subjects tested and, of the nine, just two (Mississippi and New York) test specifically in U.S. history.

Many CLS scholars entered law school in those years and began to apply the ideas, theories, and philosophies of post modernity (intellectual movements of the last half of the twentieth century) to the study of law. They borrowed from such diverse fields as social theory, political philosophy, economics, and literary theory. Since then CLS has steadily grown in influence and permanently changed the landscape of legal theory. Among noted CLS theorists are Roberto Mangabeira Unger, Robert W. Gordon, Morton J. Horwitz, Duncun Kenney, and Katharine A. MacKinnon. Although CLS has been largely a U.S. movement, it was influenced to the great extent by European philosophers, such as nineteenth-century German social theorists Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Max Weber; Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse of the Frankfurt school of German social philosophy; the Italian marxist Antonio Gramsci; and poststructuralist French thinkers Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, representing respectively the fields of history and literary theory.

http://www.fbresearch.org/education/myth-polio.htm

Extractions: Animal Studies Were Essential to Developing the Polio Vaccine Opponents of animal research often allege that polio researchers were misled by animal studies during the 1920s and 1930s and only achieved a true understanding of this devastating disease when they stopped testing on animals (and animal tissue) and began studying human cell cultures. The Cruel Deception , Robert Sharpe wrote, "By far the most important advance in the development of polio vaccine came in 1949 when Enders, Weller and Robbins showed that all three main types of polio virus could be grown in human tissue culture." More recently, activists Neal Barnard and Stephen Kaufman, in a guest column for Scientific American wrote: "During the 1920s and 30s, studies on monkeys led to gross misconceptions that delayed the fight against poliomyelitis."

http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/14725886.asp

Extractions: Aims and Scope: The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies has increased in frequency this year from two to three issues and continues to attract an international readership. The Journal is interdisciplinary in nature, covering literature, history, religion and social studies. It is very keen to attract work from younger scholars at the start of their academic careers as well as continuing to accept contributions from established and senior scholars. The philosophy of the journal is to take a critical, even challenging, view, that is, to examine, and sometimes question, underlying ideas, assumptions and methods in a way which is radical in the basic sense of 'going to the root'. The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies is not controversial for the sake of controversy, but does not hesitate to question received wisdom where appropriate. There is also much scope for comparative work, for example in relation to the Islamic world, and for modern Jewish literature to be discussed in a comparative context.

Extractions: BlackHound@compuserve.com I am working on a book on German women's fashions/clothing from the 1920s through the end of World War II. I have consulted hundreds of German women's magazines, interviewed women who lived through the period in Germany, and have perused the German archives (although it has been like looking for the proverbial "needle in the haystack") for official views, laws regarding women's clothing during the Third Reich. Secondary sources on fashion never, ever mention Germany/Berlin emphasis is always on Paris, London, New York, even though Berlin's second largest export was designer and ready-made clothing. Ideas for further sources would be much appreciated. I am also trying to locate as many German Jewish families as possible, who were forced to give up their clothing businesses as the Nazis "aryanized" that industry. Quite a few, I believe, emigrated to New York and to London, and began their clothing businesses anew; some attempted to reclaim their businesses in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. Any ideas on how to locate those who still survive? Many thanks. Responses:

Extractions: Cato Policy Analysis No. 157 July 17, 1991 Alcohol Prohibition Was A Failure by Mark Thornton Mark Thornton is the O. P. Alford III Assistant Professor of Economics at Auburn University. Executive Summary National prohibition of alcohol (1920-33)the "noble experiment"was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce the tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America. The results of that experiment clearly indicate that it was a miserable failure on all counts. The evidence affirms sound economic theory, which predicts that prohibition of mutually beneficial exchanges is doomed to failure The lessons of Prohibition remain important today. They apply not only to the debate over the war on drugs but also to the mounting efforts to drastically reduce access to alcohol and tobacco and to such issues as censorship and bans on insider trading, abortion, and gambling. The Iron Law of Prohibition According to its proponents, all the proposed benefits of Prohibition depended on, or were a function of, reducing the quantity of alcohol consumed. At first glance, the evidence seems to suggest that the quantity consumed did indeed decrease. That would be no surprise to an economist: making a product more difficult to supply will increase its price, and the quantity consumed will be less than it would have been otherwise.

Extractions: G ENDER AND S OCIETY "Men have always been afraid that women could get along without them." Margaret Mead In addition to age, gender is one of the universal dimensions on which status differences are based. Unlike sex, which is a biological concept, gender is a social construct specifying the socially and culturally prescribed roles that men and women are to follow. According to Gerda Lerner in The Creation of Patriarchy , gender is the "costume, a mask, a straitjacket in which men and women dance their unequal dance" (p.238). As Alan Wolfe observed in "The Gender Question" ( The New Republic , June 6:27-34), "of all the ways that one group has systematically mistreated another, none is more deeply rooted than the way men have subordinated women. All other discriminations pale by contrast." Lerner argues that the subordination of women preceded all other subordinations and that to rid ourselves of all of those other "isms"racism, classism, ageism, etc.it is sexism that must first be eradicated. Women have always had lower status than men, but the extent of the gap between the sexes varies across cultures and time (some arguing that it is inversely related to social evolution). In 1980, the United Nations summed up the burden of this inequality: Women, who comprise half the world's population, do two thirds of the world's work, earn one tenth of the world's income and own one hundredth of the world's property.

http://www.newaus.com.au/0401503wilkinsonkerry.html

Extractions: Monday 15 March 2004 Marian Wilkinson, Washing Correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald , aka The Saddam Times , gave us another example of media Bush-bashing in Shaping up for battle , 6 March. This Australian cheerleader for Kerry told us that under President Bush there hadn't been such income inequality since the 1920s. Wilkinson was obviously trying to impress people with the idea that that rich were getting richer under Bush at the expense of wage earners. Well, it just ain't true. This is what Dr. Daniel H. Weinberg had to say on the subject in a U.S. Census Bureau press release, 26 September 2003: "Several measures of household money income inequality indicate that inequality did not change from 2001 to 2002. However, the alternative measures of income all show a decline in income inequality between 2001 and 2002". If there had been a significant change I don't doubt that Dr Weinberg would have mentioned it in his press release. Anyone acquainted with the history of boom-bust cycles knows damn well that they tend to skew incomes by inflating some at the expense of others. On closer examination we find that these heavily inflated incomes are usually the result of rapid and unsustainable increases in asset prices. By the latter half of the 1920s 5 per cent of the population was receiving 30 per cent of all personal income. (Incidentally, this imbalance gave rise to the myth that the Great Depression was caused by underconsumption).

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~DRBR/may.html

Extractions: Scanning, copy-ed., and mark-up by Sam Turner, 10-97 To comment on the 1920's today is to put oneself in the position of a Civil War historian writing in the 1890's. The period is over and major changes have taken place. The younger historian himself belongs to a generation which barely remembers the great days. From the point of view of the veterans, still full of heroic memories, such a historian obviously has no right to talk - he was not there. Yet historians are led by their training to hope that one kind of truth - not the only kind and perhaps not always the most important kind emerges from the calm study of the records. Calm study of this decade is not easy. Like the Civil War itself, the cultural battles of the twenties have been fought again and again. Successive writers have found it necessary either to condemn or to praise the decade, though what they have seen in it to condemn or praise has differed. Perhaps this fact offers us our best starting point. If we can trace the shifting and changing picture of the decade through the last thirty years, and still better, if we can understand the emotions that have attached themselves to one version or another, we may be closer to knowing what the decade really meant. In the process, we can hardly help learning something of the intellectua1 history of the intervening period.
