    HUMMINGBIRD’S GAZE Seth Heim Prof. Perritt: Law of Nation-Building Seminar Spring 2014 "Since the revolution, every average Libyan hoped things would get better, but instead everything is worse," Mr. Jathran said, in his sleek, leather-chair- lined conference room in Ajdabiya's only hotel, where he served his guests cappuccinos. "We are sliding to a place like Afghanistan or Somalia," he said.1 I “I don’t know, Hamoud. Have you asked mother about this?” “Of course not. I know she’d forbid it. Probably send me down south to work on a dirt farm or hawk rugs to tourists near the border. After she’s chased me down the street, screaming to father’s ghost about how terrible I am.” “Ha, yeah, well,… she’s got a point.” Idriss’ voice over the phone was coming from behind a smile his brother could almost see, but suggestive with warning. “This is serious stuff. You know that, right? Hamoud, these defense forces aren’t a club. It’s no joke. These guys carry guns. Are you really ready to shoot someone? Over oil? Over tribal pride?” The phone conversation wasn’t going as Hamoud hoped it would. He hadn’t spoken to his brother Idriss in over a month, and only a few times this year. At 21, Idriss was nearly five years older than Hamoud, but much had happened in the past three years that made the age gap a chasm. Idriss fought in the partisan militia along with their tribe, and along with their father, to push Qadhaffi’s soldiers out of Ajdabiyah when the revolution swept across northeastern Libya in 2011.

  • A Course Whose Time Has Come
    A course whose time has come Paul R. Joseph Law is a central component of the democratic State. It defines the relation between the government and its people and sets the rules (and limits) of the restrained warfare of politics. Law becomes the battle­ ground for moral debates about issues such as abortion, discrimination, euthanasia, pornography and religion. Today we also debate the role Using science fiction and functioning of the legal system itself. Are lawyers ethical? Do judges usurp the legislative role? Are there too many ‘frivolous’ law materials to teach law. suits? Law and popular culture Where do the masses of people learn about the law? What shapes their views? Some peruse learned treatises, others read daily newspapers or tune in to the nightly news. Some watch key events, such as Supreme Court confirmation hearings, live, as they happen. Some have even been to law school. Many people also rely (whether consciously or not) on popular culture for their understanding of law and the legal system. Movies, television programs and other popular culture elements play a dual role, both shaping and reflecting our beliefs about the law. If popular culture helps to shape the public’s view about legal issues, it also reflects those views. By its nature as a mass commercial product, popular culture is unlikely to depart radically from images which the public will accept. By examining popular culture, we, the legally trained, can get an idea about how we and the things we do are understood and viewed by the rest of the body politic.

  • Breath and Breathlessness (Reflections from the Long Road of My Healing) April 11T H, 2021 Rev
    Breath and Breathlessness (Reflections from the Long Road of My Healing) April 11t h, 2021 Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley North Universalist Chapel Society Good morning and good Sunday. I hope that this new day finds you well. My name is Leon Dunkley and I am honored to serve as minister to North Universalist Chapel Society (or North Chapel) in Woodstock, Vermont. Today is Sunday, April 11 th and the title of this morning’s reflection is Breath and Breathlessness—Reflections from the Long Road of My Healing. To all souls, I say, “Good morning. It is good to be together.” Maya Angelou proclaimed, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” The sacredness of life is measured not by time but by timelessness…by the experiences in life that leave us breathless. Maya Angelou was an artist. She was a poet. She was careful with her words, careful with her meaning…with her healing messages. Poems are like remedies. They are like a little games of words—combed and measured, braided in near-perfect rows. Corn, collard, ochre-green. Lean words, wise and healthy. Fresh and tender to the touch. Maya was a poet. She captured the sun-hot intimacy of living and reflected it back to us, as sunrise…as nebula, comet and constellation, as black hole and as supernova. She reminded us that there are many great struggles in life—between enslavement and real freedom, between greed and true ambition. She’d say, “The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious.

  • What Would Sipowicz Do? Race, Rights and Redemption in NYPD Blue
    E D I T E D BY GLENN YEFFETH What Would Sipowicz Do? Race, Rights and Redemption in NYPD Blue BENBELLA BOOKS Dallas, Texas JEFFREY SCHALER Just One Sip for Sipowicz to Slip Like the New York background, Sipowicz’s alcoholism is a cen- tral, if not explicitly mentioned, aspect of NYPD Blue. Sipowicz is an alcoholic, and we all know what that means. Or do we? “Yee doe here but sippe of this cuppe, but then ye shall drinke up the dreggs of it for ever.” —JOHN PRESTON (Breastplate of Faith and Love) NDY SIPOWICZ, our lion-hearted, lily-livered, existential hero, is an “alcoholic.” Sipowicz is drunk in the very fi rst episode of Athe series and wrestles with his alcoholism throughout the en- tire run of the show. Sipowicz’s alcoholism has wrecked his marriage, destroyed most of his relationships and by the end of the fi rst episode is on the verge of ruining his career. Many people struggle with alcohol problems; these problems mani- fest themselves in many ways and are solved—or not—in an equally wide variety of ways. As an expert in the fi eld of addiction and drug policy, I’ve studied the various techniques problem drinkers use to ad- dress their drinking—and the effectiveness of these techniques. I’ll get to this later, but fi rst I want to discuss the most widely known approach to addressing alcohol problems: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). 63 64 • JEFFREY SCHALER AA has been so successful in popularizing its approach to heavy drinking that many people don’t even realize that its approach is only one of many.
