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.

  • Progressive Innovation in the 1970S: Madison, Wisconsin, and the Conference on Alternative State and Local Public Policies
    Progressive Planning Magazine Progressive Innovation in the 1970s: Madison, Wisconsin, and the Conference on Alternative State and Local Public Policies JANUARY 22, 2007 by ADMINISTRATOR in WINTER 2007 By Jonathan Thompson Progressive cities in the United States and elsewhere have been most commonly understood as dealing with neighborhood mobilization, citizen empowerment and other forms of grassroots political involvement. Using the language of “the grassroots” in the U.S. and “civil society” for overseas cases, commentators have focused on the movement bases of progressive administrations. A different direction in progressive administration, however, can be seen in two cases from the 1970s, where the key factors were administrative and bureaucratic transformations effected by theoretically informed activist officials. In the first case, the first mayoral administration (1973-1979) of Paul Soglin in Madison , Wisconsin , there was a left-leaning administration moving to the center and “capturing” public sector bureaucracies in order to provide good governance for the entire city. In the second case, the Conference on Alternative State and Local Public Policies, which met for the first time in Madison in 1975, there was an attempt to showcase the progressive transformation of the bureaucratic institutions of local government happening across the U.S. In both these cases, progressive activists transformed themselves into officials and administrators who governed using pragmatic policies emphasizing good governance and the formation of cross-class coalitions for continued electoral support. At one level these are deviant cases—“normal” cities never faced even the possibility of movement activists taking control of government bureaucracies. Participatory and redistributive innovations and experiments were the exception, not the rule, in 1970s America .

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN ____________________________________________________________________________________ MICHAEL KIENITZ, Plaintiff, OPINION AND ORDER v. 12-cv-464-slc SCONNIE NATION LLC, and UNDERGROUND PRINTING-WISCONSIN, L.L.C., Defendants. ____________________________________________________________________________________ In this civil action for copyright infringement, plaintiff Michael Kienitz alleges that defendants Sconnie Nation LLC and Underground Printing-Wisconsin, LLC infringed his copyright in the Official Portrait of Mayor Paul Soglin by using the photograph on t-shirts and tank tops manufactured, promoted and sold in connection with the 2012 Mifflin Street Block Party in Madison, Wisconsin. Before the court are the parties’ cross motions for summary judgment on the issue of whether defendants’ use of the photograph was a fair use permitted by the Copyright Act. Dkts. 13 and 16.1 Because the parties agree on the material facts, they ask the court to decide their dispute as a matter of law. See Harper & Row Publishers, Inc. v. Nation Enterprises, 471 U.S. 539, 560 (1985) (where material facts not in dispute, fair use appropriately decided on summary judgment). After balancing the relevant factors, I conclude that defendants have met their burden with respect to the affirmative defense of fair use and are entitled to summary judgment on Kienitz’s copyright infringement claim. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation (dkt. 10), the following material facts are undisputed: 1 Although Kienitz styles his submission as a brief in opposition to defendants’ motion for summary judgment, he asks the court to consider it his cross motion for summary judgment, which I will do. FACTS I. The Parties Plaintiff Michael Kienitz is a journalist and photographer who resides in Madison, Wisconsin.
