    A Thesis entitled Yoshimoto Taka’aki, Communal Illusion, and the Japanese New Left by Manuel Yang Submitted as partial fulfillment for requirements for The Master of Arts Degree in History ________________________ Adviser: Dr. William D. Hoover ________________________ Adviser: Dr. Peter Linebaugh ________________________ Dr. Alfred Cave ________________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo (July 2005) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is customary in a note of acknowledgments to make the usual mea culpa concerning the impossibility of enumerating all the people to whom the author has incurred a debt in writing his or her work, but, in my case, this is far truer than I can ever say. This note is, therefore, a necessarily abbreviated one and I ask for a small jubilee, cancellation of all debts, from those that I fail to mention here due to lack of space and invidiously ungrateful forgetfulness. Prof. Peter Linebaugh, sage of the trans-Atlantic commons, who, as peerless mentor and comrade, kept me on the straight and narrow with infinite "grandmotherly kindness" when my temptation was always to break the keisaku and wander off into apostate digressions; conversations with him never failed to recharge the fiery voltage of necessity and desire of historical imagination in my thinking. The generously patient and supportive free rein that Prof. William D. Hoover, the co-chair of my thesis committee, gave me in exploring subjects and interests of my liking at my own preferred pace were nothing short of an ideal that all academic apprentices would find exceedingly enviable; his meticulous comments have time and again mercifully saved me from committing a number of elementary factual and stylistic errors.

It was entirely due to many people’s support. I am much indebted to Dr. Yusaku Horiuchi for his valuable supervision. It is the happiest thing I experienced in National University in Singapore that I could study under Dr. Yusaku. I also owe Daiki Shibuichi very much for reading the draft many many times, making a number of helpful suggestions and spending much time discussing with me. I also thank very much to Dr. Yasuhiro Tanaka and Dr. Osamu Tada in Ryukyu University for valuable comments on my field research. Thanks are due to Tay Thiam Chai for reading the original text, Ann Rosylinn and Chua Hwee Teng and Vincent for careful proofreading. Also I wish to express my gratitude to all my housemates, Cecilia Hon Pui Kwan, Ruan Yi, Ptitchaya Chaiwutikornwanich, Hu Chuanxin and Liu Lin. Their support at home really encouraged me a lot. During my field research in Okinawa, I owed enormously to my relatives and friends who have helped with my survey. Also I wish to thank Okinawa International Exchange and Human Resources Development Foundation for their generous financial assistance.

  • The Endocrine Factor in the Production of Immunity and Susceptibility of the Teeth to Caries
    %ectton of Obontolop. President-Mr. MONTAGu F. HOPSON, L.D.S.E. The Endocrine Factor in the Production of Immunity and Susceptibility of the Teeth to Caries. By F. W. BRODERICK, L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., L.D.S.Eng. THE modern trend of thought amongst members of our profession is one of dissatisfaction with the theories of the atiology of dental caries on which we were brought up, and the dental literature of to-day reflects this dissatisfaction. I desire, therefore, to-night to draw your attention to the possibility of the endocrine apparatus playing a part in the causation or the prevention of this disease. Although Miller's theory will explain the onset of caries, and Sim Wallace's conclusions help us to see the reason for its prevalence, and although these theories may be true, many of us feel that they are by no means the whole truth of the matter. They leave too many questions unanswered, too many undoubted clinical facts unexplained; and, above all, if they in any way approach the whole truth, the results, bad as they undoubtedly are, should be infinitely worse. If the destruction of enamel, due to chemical action, is a simple matter of the solution of lime salts by organic acids-if there is no other factor in the equation-then the extraordinary thing is not that dental caries should be rampant, but rather that it should be possible for teeth to exist at all under modern circumstances. Then, the fact that we see good, sound, hard teeth in adult life, seems to be the problem needing elucidation, before that of the rapid destruction of the teeth of children and young people.

  • 1 a Conversation with Jill Sobule by Frank Goodman
    A Conversation with Jill Sobule by Frank Goodman Puremusic 3/2002 I first saw Jill Sobule play in my early days in Nashville, ’89. In those days, before the 48 Hours story and the forgettable movie that centered around it, The Bluebird Café was a hip place for aspiring songwriters to hang out. Between the New Traditionalist movement in the late 80s and early 90s spearheaded by Randy Travis and the Steve Earle/Lyle Lovett wave, a lot of new blood was coming into town. Songwriters and singers of many descriptions were thinking that this looked like a pretty hip scene, and it was, for a little while. To the newcomer, there were so many good songwriters to be absorbed and emulated in rooms like The Bluebird that one could go out every night (and I did) and see people that were writing hits, or writing great songs. And the town got bigger, even the newcomers could feel it swell. In those days, before the country boom of the mid 90s (and the inevitable, subsequent bust of the late 90s) one of the new writers on the scene was a diminutive, blonde dynamo from Denver named Jill Sobule. She wasn’t playing the tiny Vagabond Travel Guitar just yet, which would soon come to be her trademark. She was playing very cool, jazzy pop songs on a nylon string with a keyboard player who had a million great sounds. By jazzy pop songs I mean here that they were inventive, cutting edge pop songs that used jazz chords, not that they sounded in any way like jazz standards.
