Dead Hand: Cold War Hot Flashes Book Details How Reagan, Gorbachev, Lugar & Nunn Grappled with WMD

Dossier Pierre Duhem Pierre Duhem's Philosophy and History of Science
Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science , 2 (201 7) 03 -06 ISSN 2526 -2270 www.historiographyofscience.org © The Author s 201 7 — This is an open access article Dossier Pierre Duhem Pierre Duhem’s Philos ophy and History of Science Introduction Fábio Rodrigo Leite 1 Jean-François Stoffel 2 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.24117/2526-2270.2017.i2.02 _____________________________________________________________________________ We are pleased to present in this issue a tribute to the thought of Pierre Duhem, on the occasion of the centenary of his death that occurred in 2016. Among articles and book reviews, the dossier contains 14 contributions of scholars from different places across the world, from Europe (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Sweden) to the Americas (Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States). And this is something that attests to the increasing scope of influence exerted by the French physicist, philosopher and 3 historian. It is quite true that since his passing, Duhem has been remembered in the writings of many of those who knew him directly. However, with very few exceptions (Manville et al. 1927), the comments devoted to him exhibited clear biographical and hagiographic characteristics of a generalist nature (see Jordan 1917; Picard 1921; Mentré 1922a; 1922b; Humbert 1932; Pierre-Duhem 1936; Ocagne et al. 1937). From the 1950s onwards, when the studies on his philosophical work resumed, the thought of the Professor from Bordeaux acquired an irrevocable importance, so that references to La théorie physique: Son objet et sa structure became a common place in the literature of the area. As we know, this recovery was a consequence of the prominence attributed, firstly, to the notorious Duhem-Quine thesis in the English- speaking world, and secondly to the sparse and biased comments made by Popper that generated an avalanche of revaluations of the Popperian “instrumentalist interpretation”. -

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY J THOMAS PARKER* INTRODUCTION This Survey Article examines the significant developments in the Indiana law of professional responsibility from October 1, 2011 until September 30, 2012. The Indiana Supreme Court’s attorney disciplinary orders and changes the court makes to the Indiana Rules for the Admission and Discipline of Attorneys and the Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct are central to the subject of professional responsibility. Before examining the Indiana Supreme Court’s most significant decisions, the Article will take time to consider some trends and lessons that can be found in less noteworthy decisions. The Indiana Supreme Court publishes its decisions via the Internet,1 as well as through traditional media, making the review of attorney discipline decisions quite easy. From the first of October 2011 until the last of September of 2012, the Indiana Supreme Court issued eighty-five orders in regards to the discipline of the practicing bar.2 Of those eighty-five decisions, many can be categorized as “housekeeping”; they track the progress of individual matters rather than present the court’s definitive analysis and conclusions about specific allegations.3 Even these housekeeping matters, however, are worth considering. For example, there were several cases where the court suspended individuals for failing to cooperate4 * Chief of Staff, Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council.

The question was asked of several old students, "Of what does the much talked of Whittier Spirit consist—?" and the answer in- variably came hack,—"Service." Now catch if you can the idea of Service. Paint if you can one tiny part of it. That has been the ideal of each Junior class and to do it is almost impossible, limited as we are in many ways. The painting will remain unfinished until the names and deeds of those who have given to Whittier College, who are giving and who will always give are printed in one book. But this one great Acropolis remains to be printed and it will never he printed, although we work to that end, trying to paint our idea of Whittier Spirit so that we can give some- thing to the next generation. -
Vito Volterra and the Making of Research Institutions in Italy and Abroad*
Vito Volterra and the Making of Research Institutions in Italy and Abroad* Giovanni Paoloni† [email protected] ABSTRACT The great mathematician Vito Volterra was a notable figure who had a significant public profile in the early years of the twentieth century.1 He made an important contribution to political debate and, in particular, to what would become defined as science policy. Volterra’s scientific inter- ests were not limited only to mathematics and mathematical physics, but also gave impetus to research in the spheres of oceanography and mete- orology. Volterra’s career path, characterised by the prominence of the mathematician in the international scientific community, finally reconsti- tuted itself into the position that he assumed toward the fascist regime in Italy. It was the very international acknowledgement of Volterra that caused resentment in Mussolini, toward whose regime Volterra main- tained a strenuous opposition — resulting in the ostracism he was sub- jected to in his own country until his death. Vito Volterra is generally considered one of the greatest mathematicians of his time: «His most important contributions» according to the Dictionary of Scientific Biography «were in higher analysis, mathematical physics, celestial mechanics, the mathematical theory of elasticity and mathematical biometrics. His major works in these fields included the foundation of the theory of func- tionals and the solution of the type of integral equations with variable limits that now bear his name, methods of integrating hyperbolic partial differential equations, the study of hereditary phenomena, optics of birifrangent media, * This paper was presented and discussed in the «Tuesday Lunchtime Colloqium» held in Boston, Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology, on March 7th, 2006; it partially appeared in Paoloni & Simili (2008).
