Because they are necessary for learning, for preserving, and for sharing what we have learned, books often acquire a sacred status. “In Society and Solitude” (1870), Emerson asserts that reading a book is an intensely private matter, rather like prayer. Compiling a list of those texts he thought sacred, Emerson describes these books as “the Mmajestic expressions of the universal conscience, and are more to our daily purpose than this year’s almanac or this day’s newspaper. But they are for the closet, and are to be read on the bended knee. Their communications are not to be given or taken with the lips and the end of the tongue, but out of the glow of the cheek, and with the throbbing heart.” All serious readers would, I think, agree with Mr. Emerson. A great book enters the private recesses our souls, transforming who we are, challenging us to be or to do what we had not imagined. Many celebrated accounts tell of readers significantly altered by the power of what they have read. Alonso Quijano, poring alone over the romances of chivalry, came upon his dream and became Don Quijote. Paolo and Francesca, reading furtively together the story of Lancelot’s loves, exchanged the fatal kiss and lost their souls. The dreamlike command of an unseen voice—“Take! Read!”—led St. Augustine to the text that would define his life. A Quiet Revolution. In preparation for this academic year, freshmen, faculty, and staff of Texas A&M International University read, not alone or in a closet but together, “All But My Life,” the story of one woman’s experience of the Holocaust. When on September 12, 2008 the author, Mrs. Klein, stepped into the recital hall of our Center for the Fine and Performing Arts, 900 freshmen, faculty and staff jumped to their feet to offer cheers of gratitude and recognition. As Mrs. Klein stepped forward, tears filled in her eyes as she received our greeting. I have never felt such surging pride in our students and our community. I wish those moments—cheeks glowing and hearts throbbing—could have been lengthened, captured, preserved. For in those moments in which we saluted Gerda Weismann Klein, we experienced a solidarity, an identity, and an understanding Emerson did not foresee, a conjoining of minds and hearts made possible by one great and common experience, the reading together of one book. The circumstances of her visit made my introduction of Mrs. Klein to our community unlike any other I have ever attempted. With the arrival of any guest speaker, an introduction is intended to acquaint the audience with the person about to speak, to give some sense of what is about to be said and Dr. Ray Keck, III, President who is about to say it. This time, because she wrote her story and because we had all read it together, we know Gerda Weismann Klein better than we know each other. We know—each by name—her family and her friends, what her brother Arthur was like and why she continues to miss him so, what it was like to grow up in the home inherited from her mother’s parents, the number of fruit trees in her family orchard, the name of her nana, the color of her mother’s favorite housecoat. And we know that all this, all but her life, was lost in the Holocaust. The greatest books, the sacred books, change us as they penetrate what Antonio Machado calls the “galleries of our souls.” From those precious 4 2007–2008 in Review Sanchez Lecture Series celebrated 10th anniversary Trading Room and Technology Center Courage and Deter mination supported by the Sanchez Family Foundation was inaugurated moments spent with her on September 12 and from the ensuing Enrollment topped 5,000 students discussions all over this campus, each of us has been made anew by our encounter with Gerda Weismann Klein and her book, for me, her account UT Health Science Center and TAMIU of unspeakable sadness and loss, resown in hope, will remain Mrs. Klein’s signed an agreement to offer a joint greatest gift: “One thinks that my experience might lie like a stone upon bachelor’s degree in nutrition and the soul. It does not. It is a small flame which burns brightest and most dietetics intensely when it encounters injustice or love.” Her husband, Kurt Klein, the same American soldier who rescued her at Congressman Henry Cuellar ’82 the war’s end, warns that “pain should not be wasted.” Mrs. Klein has lived her life honoring that admonition. Her pain continues, but accompanied by announced a $3.5 million joint grant to a courage to denounce injustice and a zeal to nurture love, reborn in her TAMIU and Laredo Community College family and inspired in her readers. from Title V Difficult task.

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.
