I urge each of you to obtain a copy of the proposed Rules, to study them and to make your suggestions known to the American Bar Association. A number of the provisions are controversial, such as mandatory pro bono, the stand- ards established for the client-attorney relationship where the client is a business organization and circum- stances in which the dictates of professional responsi- bility might compel disclosure in spite of the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship.

DOUGLAS WILDER AND THE CONTINUING SIGNIFICANCE OF RACE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE 1989 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION Judson L. Jeffries, Universityof Southern California In 1989 Virginia elected an African-American to serve as its chief executive officer. Until Douglas Wilder , no African-American had ever been elected governor of any state. In 1872, the African-American lieutenant-go vernor of Louisiana, P .B.S. Pinchback', was elevated to the post of acting governor for 43 days. The operative word here is elevated. Success for African-American candidates running for high profile2 statewide office has been rare. With the exception of Wilder, only Edward Brooke and Carol Mosely Braun have been able to win high profile statewide office ; but even when they succeeded, the results did not reveal extensive white support for these candidates.

Introduction Of all the American states, Virginia can lay claim to the most thorough control by an oligarchy. Political power has been closely held by a small group of leaders who, themselves and their predecessors, have subverted democratic institutions and deprived most Virginians of a voice in their government. The Commonwealth possesses the characteristics more akin to those of England at about the time of the Reform Bill of 1832 than to those of any other state of the present-day South. It is a political museum piece. Yet the little oligarchy that rules Virginia demonstrates a sense of honor, an aversion to open venality, a degree of sensitivity to public opinion, a concern for efficiency in administration, and, so long as it does not cost much, a feeling of social responsibility. - Southern Politics in State and Nation, V. O. Key, Jr., 19491 Thus did V. O. Key, Jr. so famously describe Virginia’s political landscape in 1949 in his revolutionary book Southern Politics in State and Nation.

  • Virginia Wine Four Centuries of Change Now Out
    January 11, 2018 For Release: Virginia Wine Four Centuries of Change Now Out Attorney Andrew Painter today presented autographed copies of his recently-published book, Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change to Virginia’s outgoing Secretary of Commerce and Trade, Todd A. Haymore and Virginia Wine Marketing Office Director Annette R. Boyd. Painter also provided autographed copies for former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe an appreciation for the administration’s support of the Virginia wine industry. Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change focuses on the history of Virginia's wine industry from its earliest Spanish accounts in 1570 through its rebirth and growth in the modern era. It provides a background on nearly all industry participants from Captain John Smith to Thomas Jefferson, to modern viticultural pioneers. Painter began writing the book in 2009 and has spent the better part of the last decade conducting research on the subject in libraries, at wineries and historic sites, and at academic institutions. Originally conceived as a conventional winery tour guide, the focus of the work evolved into a comprehensive historical account of the development of Virginia wine. “Given the widespread interest in wine, generally, and its increasing importance to Virginia commerce, the challenge proved irresistible,” Painter remarked. As Virginia's wine industry has grown, so too has academic and recreational interest in understanding its past. The book provides a detailed, yet readable examination of the dynamic personalities, diverse places, and engrossing personal and political struggles that have played a role in establishing the Old Dominion as one of the nation's preeminent wine regions.

This report should be viewed as a companion volume to the National Drug Control Strategy that I sent to the Congress last September. In it you will find a comprehensive blueprint for Federal drug control activities for the next fiscal year. The principal goal of our strategy, however, remains the same: to reduce the level of illegal drug use in America. To help determine the most effective means of pursuing that objective, my administration has once again been aided by broad consultation with Members of Congress, Federal, State, and local officials, experts in the fields of drug prevention, treatment, and enforcement, and hundreds of interested and pUblic-spirited citizens.

DESCRIPTORS Change Strategies; *Educational Change; *Governance; Government Role; *Government School Relationship; *Higher Education; Politics; *Public Policy; State Government IDENTIFIERS *ASHE Antrael Meeting; *State Governors ABSTRACT The popular image of the "Education Governor" was investigated, with attention to:(1) the extent to which the specific education measures proposed in inaugural and state of the state addresses of 20 "Education Governors" of the 1960s through 1980s corresponded with the subsequent actions of these officials; and (2) the specific personal attributes, professional goals and activities, and actual involvement in education that characterize these "Education Governors" of the 1960s through the 1980s. The roots of the "Education Governor" idea are traced to four turn of the century governors, one from North Carolina, tua from Virginia, and one from Alabama, all of whom held office between 1901 and 1911. The 20 recent governors and their states are as follows:. Jerry Apodaca (New Mexico); Reubin Askew (Florida): Edmund G. Brown, Sr. (California); John Chafee (Rhode Island); Bill Clinton (Arkansas); Winfield Dunn (Tennessee); Pierre S. duPont, IV (Delaware); Robert D. Graham (Florida); Clifford T.
