It has been accepted for inclusion in The Catholic Lawyer by an authorized editor of St. John's Law Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. CHILDREN INTO MEN: LAWYERS AND THE LAW IN THREE NOVELS GREGORY J. SULLIVAN* It is a contradiction in terms to attempt a sinless Literatureof sinful man.' The interdisciplinary law-and-literature movement has bur- geoned in recent years. Numerous books and articles have ap- peared within the past decade or so and many law schools now regularly offer courses on the subject. This essay, however, will not address the movement itself; indeed, I believe it is replete with sundry limitations.2 Nevertheless, one facet of the growing area of law-and-literature-and the connections between the two fields-that is salutary is the renewed interest in, and explica- tion of, works of literature that have legal themes or involve characters who are lawyers. This area is one in which lawyers can provide insights into the novels that a reader untrained in the law would perhaps overlook or misunderstand. Associate, Hartsough & Kenny, New Jersey.

  • The Intensity and Concentrated Fury of the Second World War Prompted Many of Those Who Had Participated in War Is Not Just the L
    ABSTRACT THEMES AND MEANINGS IN THE AMERICAN AND FILIPINO NOVELS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN THE PACIFIC BY Elena P. Polo The intensity and concentrated fury of the Second World War prompted many of those who had participated in it to re-create the war experience. To the novelists the war is not just the landscape for their narrative, but a vehicle for social comments as well as a means of depict- ing the human condition. The novelists are concerned with human values, with the problems of existence, and with man's capacity to endure. As critics have noted, the war is a ready-made microcosm which has permitted the novelists to set man against his chaotic world. American novelists who wrote on the Pacific war and the Filipino novelists who tried to portray the pain and anguish of the Japanese Occupation show a common preoccupa- tion. This study, which defines the themes of these novel- ists, shows that they are preoccupied with the subject of survival both physical and moral. The American novels on the war in the Pacific depict the individual's struggle against a crushing bureaucracy personified by the military organization and hostile forces 1 Elena P. Polo identified as Chance or Fate, nature, social inequalities, human nature itself and institutions. The novels portray man's quest for absolute freedom, for justice and equality. The American novelists show two definite responses to this human dilemma. One is a strong voice affirming man's basic humanity. Heggen's Mister Roberts, Wouk's Caine Mutiny, Statham's Welcome Darkness, Gwaltney's The Day the Century Ended and Mydan's Open City, analyzed in this study, clearly affirm the endurance of the human spirit and man's ability to triumph over forces that would "dehuman- ize and destroy." These novels suggest that man survives because of his humanness.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Canaanite/Ugaritic Mythology
    Canaanite/Ugaritic Mythology I. Who do we mean by 'Canaanites'? Linguistically, the ancient Semites have been broadly classified into Eastern and Western groups. The Eastern group is represented most prominently by Akkadian, the language of the Assyrians and Babylonians, who inhabited the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys. The Western group is further broken down into the Southern and Northern groups. The South Western Semites inhabited Arabia and Ethiopia while the North Western Semites occupied the Levant - the regions that used to be Palestine as well as what is now Syria, Israel and Lebanon, the regions often referred to in the Bible as Canaan. Recent archaeological finds indicate that the inhabitants of the region themselves referred to the land as 'ca-na-na-um' as early as the mid-third millennium B.C.E. (Aubet p. 9) Variations on that name in reference to the country and its inhabitants continue through the first millennium B.C.E. The word appears to have two etymologies. On one end, represented by the Hebrew cana'ani the word meant merchant, an occupation for which the Canaanites were well known. On the other end, as represented by the Akkadian kinahhu, the word referred to the red-colored wool which was a key export of the region. When the Greeks encountered the Canaanites, it may have been this aspect of the term which they latched onto as they renamed the Canaanites the Phoenikes or Phoenicians, which may derive from a word meaning red or purple, and descriptive of the cloth for which the Greeks too traded.
