It analyzes the forces that led to the launching of the program and discusses some of its most innovative practices. Written by the program planners and educators, the book focuses on thefollowing: providing instruction in native language literacy; enhancing parents' involvement in their children's education; and integrating educational and social services for young adults. Valuable insights and practical examples in the fields of language and cross-cultural education are provided, as well as information regarding America's initial response to the refugee crisis and U.S. refugee policy. The following chapters are included: "Balancing the Ideal and the Pragmatic: Reflections on the Overseas Refugee Program" (AnnMorgan); "Responding to the Crisis: Creation of the Overseas Refugee Program" (Roger E. Harmon); "Redefining Survival: Practices, Trends, and Issues in the Overseas Refugee Program" (Donald A. Ranard and Margo Pfleger); "Beyond the Llassroom: Meeting the Needs of Young Adult Amerasians" (John Michael Phillips); "The World of the Past, the World of tomorrow: First Language Literacy at the Phanat Nikhom Refugee Camp" (Fred Ligon); and "Enhancing the Flavor:Winning Partnerships Between Home and School" (Lauren Hoyt).(JL) 2.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business by an authorized administrator of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. NOTE Poyner v. Erma Werke GmbH: The Long- Arm Statute as a Protectionist Device* INTRODUCTION Technological and economic progress have continually fostered the development of international trade. As greater quantities of inter- national goods enter American markets, there is a greater potential that American consumers will bring actions against international manufac- turers for injuries sustained from defective products. Consequently, state and federal courts must consider the constitutional restrictions in- volved in asserting personal jurisdiction over alien' as well as over for- eign2 defendants. One hundred years ago, a state's jurisdictional power was virtually limited to its territorial boundaries.3 State and federal courts, however, began to abandon this restrictive jurisdictional ap- proach as interstate commerce developed.4 In the seminal case of Inter- national Shoe Co. v. Washington,5 the Supreme Court expanded a state's jurisdictional authority by holding that a nonresident defendant could be served with process if he sustained "minimum contacts" with the forum.6 After the Supreme Court announced this flexible mini- mum contacts standard, state legislators passed long-arm statutes which enabled state and federal courts to establish personal jurisdiction over * Winner, 1982 Lowden-Wigmore Prize.

  • A Child Needs Your Love Most When He Deserves It Least. —Erma Bombeck NOVEMBER 8,2000
    A child needs your love most when he deserves it least. —Erma Bombeck NOVEMBER 8,2000 Dear Franklin, I'm unsure why one trifling incident this afternoon has moved me to write to you. But since we've been separated, I may most miss coming home to deliver the narrative curiosities of my day, the way a cat might lay mice at your feet: the small, humble offerings that couples proffer after foraging in separate backyards. Were you still installed in my kitchen, slathering crunchy peanut butter on Branola though it was almost time for dinner, I'd no sooner have put down the bags, one leaking a clear viscous drool, than this little story would come tumbling out, even before I chided that we're having pasta tonight so would you please not eat that whole sandwich. In the early days, of course, my tales were exotic imports, from Lisbon, from Katmandu. But no one wants to hear stories from abroad, really, and I could detect from your telltale politeness that you privately preferred anecdotal trinkets from closer to home: an eccentric encounter with a toll collector on the George Washington Bridge, say. Marvels from the mundane helped to ratify your view that all my foreign travel was a kind of cheating. My souvenirs—a packet of slightly stale Belgian waffles, the British expression for "piffle" (codswallop!)—were artificially imbued with magic by mere dint of distance. Like those baubles the Japanese exchange—in a box in a bag, in a box in a bag—the sheen on my offerings from far afield was all packaging.

Instead of doing a multi-million production, instead of paying homage to Dschuang-Tzu the tradition of the feature film, he simply devoted himself to a radically subjective form of documentary film that is comparatively cheap and is not boring even. Franz Manola, WIENER, Vienna, February 1982 Shooting this film was somewhat like a slow homecoming (Peter Handke), with a director who refuses to make a fast film in a landscape that has been shaping each gesture and movement of its inhabitants for centuries. (...) Pilz works with only a recordist and carries the camera himself. He starts out by waiting, living with the crofters, talking to them and gradually becoming a part of their lives, whom they accept as one of their own in their remarkable tolerance when they are given enough time.
