Yad Vashem Studies XXXI - Table of Contents and Abstracts Volume 31 of Yad Vashem Studies Gershon Greenberg brings to light and analyzes the wartime writings and sermons of Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Unsdorfer, one of the prominent ultra-Orthodox rabbis in Bratislava. Unsdorfer attempted to fit the events of the Holocaust into his theology, but found it difficult to maintain a consistent view of God’s role in history. He was able to offer the Jews of Bratislava only theological advice for ways to approach God in the crisis. The structure of his response to the Holocaust remained unchanged during the war. Yehuda Bauer’s monograph on the Jewish community of Baranowicze during the Holocaust tells the story of the fate of the town’s Jews during the Holocaust and sheds light on the Holocaust in medium-sized and large towns in Europe. It can serve as a model for such monographs and for delving into the stories of the thousands of small and average-sized communities that were destroyed in the Holocaust. Such research provides the basis for a comparative analysis of the Holocaust in such communities.

Life in Interior Alaska IN250-01 That '70's Class: U.S. Culture in the 1970's (Professor Becky Bradway-Hesse) Although the '70's are often viewed as the "disco/polyester decade," more happened than retro fashion. The '70's witness the evolution of '60's optimism and rebellion into new forms. This is the decade of feminism, Watergate, Kent State, and the Vietnam War; of punk, glam, folk-rock, and "I Will Survive" ; of Altamont survivors, veterans, and hippies turning corporate, political, or simply tired. While '60's social critique evolved (among some) into individualistic materialism, the decade also demonstrated quiet strides in the rights of women, gays, and African-Americans, particularly through and in the arts. We will read fiction and non-fiction from popular and controversial writers who record the end of the '60's and the changes of the '70's. Writers covered include Kurt Vonnegut, Rita Mae Brown, Tim O'Brien, Alex Haley, Gloria Steinem, Richard Brautigan, Lester Bangs, and Toni Morrison. Popular music from artists as diverse as the Talking Heads, David Bowie, and Donna Summer will be discussed. Clips from films will be shown, including The Deer Hunter Gimme Shelter All the President's Men Annie Hall Saturday Night Fever Five Easy Pieces

Home About FAN Latest News Fluoridation ... FAQs Search Some Studies Indicate that Dental Fluorosis is Increasing August 1, 1988 Some Studies Indicate that Dental Fluorosis is Increasing by Bette Hileman Scientists disagree over whether the incidence of dental fluorosis is increasing in the U.S. as more children drink fluoridated water and use fluoride supplements, toothpaste, mouth rinses, and topical applications during the years of tooth formation. In contrast, William S. Driscoll, acting chief of the disease prevention and health promotion branch at the National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR), and his coworkers report that surveys in 1980 "suggest that no important changes in the prevalence and severity of fluorosis have taken place" since Dean’s studies. However, Driscoll did find eight children with either moderate or severe fluorosis in a community with a fluoride level of 1 ppm. In the 1930s, Dean generally found no children with advanced forms of fluorosis in the many towns he surveyed with 1 ppm natural fluoride in the water supply. In 1985, Stanley B. Heifetz, Driscoll, and their coworkers at NIDR surveyed the same areas in Illinois they had surveyed in 1980. The prevalence of fluorosis in eight- to 10-year-olds changed little between 1980 and 1985. But among 13- to 15-year-olds, the researchers note a greater prevalence and severity of fluorosis in 1985 than in 1980. In 1985, only 71% of tooth surfaces were fluorosis-free in a community with 1 ppm fluoride, compared with 89% in 1980. In a community with 4 ppm fluoride, fluorosis had become so prevalent that 93% of the visible tooth surfaces showed some signs of the condition, compared with 76% in 1980.

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.

Curry's Statehouse Studies John Steuart Curry completed these crayon studies for murals in the Kansas Capitol, Topeka. The Kansas Museum of History collections include 19 of Curry's statehouse studies. Crayon studies are small preliminary sketches in preparation for completing a full-sized mural. In 1937, artist John Steuart Curry was asked to return to Kansas to cover the interior walls of the Topeka capitol with scenes from the state's history. The offer followed a statewide newspaper campaign to bring Kansas' most accomplished artist back to his home state. The campaign was initiated by popular Kansas newspaper men such as Jack Harris of the Hutchinson News , Paul Jones of the Lyons Daily News , and even William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette . Just four years later, though, legislators passed a resolution stopping Curry from completing his work. That year Curry left his home state never to return, leaving the finished murals unsigned. John Steuart Curry was born on November 14, 1897, in the small northeastern Kansas town of Dunavent. The eldest of five children in a farming family, his inclination toward art began at a young age. Curry's biographer and friend, Lawrence E. Schmeckebier, once wrote that as a youth on his father's farm Curry was interested in drawing everything . . . horses and fighting animals, railroad engines and trains, pictures of battles from the Revolutionary War, hosts of everyday things about him. He kept a

U.S. University ResearchSocietal Contributions Over the years, researchers at America's major universities have made many significant contributions to society. Following is a list of some of those contributions, compiled by the Association of American Universities from information supplied by some of its members and other institutions. It should be emphasized that this compilation is hardly all-inclusive; it is intended simply as an illustration of the breadth and depth of the contributions that have been made by America's universities, based on the records of some of those institutions. Among the highlights, university researchers: Developed the Recombinant DNA technique, which has revolutionized the field of biology and spawned the modern biotechnology industry (Stanford University, University of California, San Francisco, 1974). Out of this breakthrough, there have been created such artificial substances as human growth hormone, interferon, interleukin II, hepatitis B vaccine, and blood clotting and blood dissolving substances. Pioneered the development of satellite camera technology, which has led to precise photography important not only in space exploration but also in such areas as weather forecasting, geology, and military surveillance (University of Rochester, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1960s); and performed the fundamental research that led to development of the Global Positioning System (GPS), which allows a ground-based receiver to pinpoint its location on the planet within a few hundred feet (Columbia University, 1938, Harvard University, 1949; and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1949.)

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.

Author Sovereignty after Empire Self-Determination Movements in the Former Soviet Union Hopes and Disappointments: Case Studies The Russian Federation After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation achieved its independence, as did the other union republics of the former USSR. As the core of the union, Russia assumed most of its responsibilities. But the breakup of the USSR released Russia from two significant legacies: the maintenance of the totalitarian state and the necessity to support the other former Soviet republics. Russia, by far the largest of the former Soviet republics in terms of territory, population, and economic potential, did not face the danger of being torn apart by violent ethno-political conflicts during its first years of independence, unlike some of the other newly independent states. Yet from the very beginning of the post-Soviet period, problems arising from Russia's ethnic and regional diversity have influenced the country's course of economic and political reform. Its most challenging problem is trying to find a type of federation that will enable its many ethnic groups to pursue their goal of self-determination while preserving its integrity and viability as a multinational state. In reality, however, this complicated system did little to guarantee minority rights, let alone the right to self-determination; Soviet totalitarianism was fundamentally incompatible with genuine region-based federalism and ethnic autonomy. This fact became particularly obvious during the late 1920s and early 1930s, when centralism and uniformity clearly emerged as the regime's basic political goals. Most of the decision making in all fields was concentrated in the center, leaving virtually nothing within the competence of regional authorities.
