In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people flourished. The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the fouriquarters nourished it. The East gave peace and light, the South gave warmth, the West gave rain, and the North with its cold and mighty wind gave strengsn and endurance. Thiknowledge can to us from the outer world with our religion. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky 'is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The Wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The Sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle, from childhood to childhood and so it is in everything where power moves.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

Mcintyre, Jr SUBJECT: Letter from Jack Brooks on the Paperwork Act You asked for my comments on a letter to you from Chairman Brooks, in which he stated that the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Justice were thwarting the passage of S. 1411, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. For the past eleven months (since your remarks in support of "paperwork legislation" at the ceremony marking the signing of your Executive Order on Paperwork), we have been working with Chairman Brooks and Senator Chiles to shape and pass the "Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980." The bill that formed the basis for the legislation had been introduced at the beginning of this Congress; it strengthened the Federal Reports Act - a 1942 law that requires OMB to "clear" requests for information from the public by most executive agencies. The strengthening amendments would have brought the indepen­ dent regulatory commissions and the Internal Revenue Service - currently exempt from OMB clearance - under our authority and made it clear that no one in the private sector could be penalized for not complying with a Federal information requirement if it had not been approved by OMB.

    Pittsburgh Catholic, Friday, October 29, 1982 — Page 9 Ladies of Charity plan annual appeal Since they established their Emergency Trust Fund for the elderly six years ago, the Ladies of Charity have collected an overall total of $107,772 through their annual appeal. These contributions aid the Ladies of Charity in helping the elderly poor meet the small, unexpected expenses that can prove traumatic on a small budget. Items such as utility bills, minor home repairs, rent emergencies, medication are provided for through the fund. In a report just issued to contributors Mrs. James P. (Mary) McArdle, chairman of the Committee of 100, which adminis­ ters the fund, explained that $32,936 was collected in last year’s effort. She wrote to the fund’s benefactors that ‘‘these funds were applied to help those people who other wise would have gone unaided. Because of your concern we were able to fill the gap that was left when the official agencies or government could not help." Of the future of the fund, she added "We know the road ahead will be harder. Because of cutbacks and the tremendous increase in costs of living there will be more to help.
