  • Till Death Do Us Part: a Study of Spouse Murder GEORGE W
    Till Death Do Us Part: A Study of Spouse Murder GEORGE W. BARNARD, MD HERNAN VERA, PHD MARIA I. VERA, MSW GUSTAVE NEWMAN, MD Killers of members of their own families have long fueled the archetypical imagination. Our myths, literature, and popular arts are full of such charac­ ters as Cain, Oedipus, Medea, Othello, Hamlet, and Bluebeard. In our time the murderous children of movies like "The Bad Seed" and "The Omen"; the homicidal father of "The Shining"; the killer spouses of Hitchcock's "Midnight Lace" and "The Postman Always Rings Twice" bespeak a continuing fascination with the topic. In contrast, until recently the human sciences paid" selective inattention" I to the topic of family violence. Only in the past decade has violence in the family become "a high priority social issue,"~ an "urgent situation, ":1 on which privileged research energy needs to be expended. We deal here with the murder of one spouse by the other, a topic on which research remains sparse4 despite the growing interest in family vio­ lence. Based on data derived from twenty-three males and eleven females accused of such crime, we contrast and compare the two groups attempting to identify common and gender-related characteristics in the offense, the relationship between murderer and victim, as well as the judicial disposition of the accused. The importance of the doer-sufferer relation in acts of family criminal violence has been well established. In major sociological studies"-s it has been found that about one out of five (or nearly one out of four) deaths by murder in the U.S.

  • APPENDIX .A. Note on the Present Position of the Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938
    APPENDIX .A. Note on the Present Position of the Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938 THE Munich Agreement, concluded between Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy for the cession of the Sudeten German territory by Czecho­ slovakia, although officially dated 29 September 1938, was in reality signed in the small hours of the morning of 30 September. l To it was annexed a declaration by the British and French Governments guaranteeing the new boundaries of the Czechoslovak state against unprovoked aggression. Germany and Italy also agreed to give a similar guarantee to Czechoslovakia 'when the question of the Polish and Hungarian minorities in Czechoslovakia had been settled'. It was further declared that the problems of these minorities in Czechoslovakia, if not settled within three months by agreement between the respective Governments, 'shall form the subject of another meeting of the Heads of the Governments of the four Powers here present'. Because of its nature, the Munich Agreement was not subject to the usual forms of ratification, and no provision for such procedure was included in its text. Parliamentary approval was accorded to Mr Chamberlain and to M. Daladier, on 6 and 5 October respectively, by means of votes of confidence but by the time these had been given in the House of Commons and the Chamber of Deputies the terms of the Munich Agreement were already a fait accompli. On 2 November 1938 the German and Italian Foreign Ministers, Ribben­ trop and Ciano, handed down the First Vienna Award, which, without consultation with, or reference to, the British and French Governments, adjudicated the fate of the Polish and Hungarian minorities in Czechoslovakia, in violation of the annexe to the Munich Agreement.2 The structure set up by the Munich Agreement was destroyed on 15 March 1939 when Hitler proclaimed that 'Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist'.

  • Berlin Conference of 1884-1885
    Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 The Berlin Conference was a meeting of 14 nations to discuss territorial disputes in Africa. The meeting was held in Berlin, Germany, from November 1884 to February 1885 and included representatives from the United States and such European nations as Britain, France, and Germany. No Africans were invited to the conference. The Berlin Conference took place at a time when European powers were rushing to establish direct political control in Africa. This race to expand European colonial influence is often referred to as the "Scramble for Africa." Europeans called the Berlin meeting because they felt rules were needed to prevent war over claims to African lands. Berlin Conference • Going into the meeting, roughly 10% of Africa was under European colonial rule. • By the end of the meeting, European powers “owned” most of Africa and drew boundary lines that remained until 1914. • Great Britain won the most land in Africa and was “given” Nigeria, Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, and South Africa after defeating the Dutch Settlers and Zulu Nation. • The agreements made in Berlin still affect the boundaries of African countries today. • By the 1880s, Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal all wanted part of Africa. • To prevent a European war over Africa, leaders from fourteen European governments and from the United States met in Berlin, Germany, in 1884. • No Africans attended the meeting. • At the meeting, the European leaders discussed Africa’s land and how it should be divided. Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 The Berlin Conference adopted a number of provisions: 1. European nations could not just claim African territory, but had to actually occupy and administer the land.

INTRODUCTION At the end of Katherine Hepburn's closing argument on behalf of a woman charged with trying to kill her philandering husband in the 1949 film Adam's Rib,2 Hepburn tells the jury about an ancient South American civilization in which the men, "made weak and puny by years of subservience," are ruled by women. She offers this anthropological anecdote in order to move the jury to understand why a woman, whose "natural" feminine constitution should render her incapable of murder,3 might tum to violence.

  • Letters for Damien
    daniel j. demers Letters for Damien On February 12, 1935 Belgium’s King Leopold III penned a let- ter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the letter, the king recited the good deeds of Father Joseph Damien De Veuster who “worked 16 years for the spiritual and physical welfare of the lepers of Molo- kai where he became himself a victim of the disease and died.” 1 Not- ing that Damien’s body was buried near the church of Kalawao and due to “the recent transfer of the leper hospital to Kalapapa [sic], his grave had been abandoned.” 2 As a result of this abandonment, the king asked FDR, on behalf of the Fathers of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts, to assist the priests who were “particularly desirous of transferring the remains of Father Damien to Belgium.” 3 On July 30th the United States Ambassador to Belgium Dave Mor- ris telegrammed the White House inquiring if the president ever received the letter since no response was ever received by the king.4 A series of memoranda and letters passed between the White House and State Department and it was determined the president’s response had been lost. The faux pas was quickly resolved with a suggestion that the original communication be transmitted by telegraph to Ambassador Morris, who would then relay “the sense of the President’s original letter” to the king.5 Daniel J. Demers, a semi-retired businessman who resides in the San Francisco Bay area, writes about historic 19th and 20th-century events. In another article, published in Amer- ica in 2009, he recounts the little-known story of why Father Damien’s body was unexpect- edly delayed leaving San Francisco for Belgium in 1936: a prisoner uprising at Alcatraz.
