The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:35 a.m. in room SD–50, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Ted Stevens, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. TED STEVENS, U.S. SENATOR FROM ALASKA The CHAIRMAN. Our Co-Chairman is on the way, but he has asked that we proceed with the formalities. Before he gets here, let me thank you all for coming. And this is not something new for me, I want you to know. We’re going to listen to Jack Valenti here in a minute. But, on two previous occasions, when I was asked to take on an issue for this Committee, we started this process of not hav- ing hearings, but listening sessions, and then we got a table like this, both at the time when we enacted the United States Olympic Committee Bill and when we did the Magnuson-Stevens Bill. Those had been preceded by meetings all over the country, but what we did was, we just decided to get some of the principal players, and if you remember, the Olympic problem, NCAA and AAU were at odds with the Olympic athletes, and both or all three of them were at odds with the International Olympic Committee. It was an inter- esting period of time and we had a series of meetings quite similar to this. Now we have done this sort of thing, you might say, as a last resort, and I hope that what you will recognize that people who have volunteered to come here today have different points of view, but they are decision makers, and some committed parents very much involved in the overall subject we want to discuss. But above all, we want to have a chance for Congress to better under- stand all of the points of view and to see them interact a little bit. Jack Valenti will be along. He said he would come, and I think you’ll hear his presentation of his activities at the time the motion picture industry, years ago, finally took action, and it was nec- essary for Congress to intervene at that time. I think that’s sort of a sample of what we would like to achieve in this process. We’re not involved in this to bring about censorship. We are here to real- ly give an opportunity, for those who represent the families of America, to listen to those of you who run the media that some cur- rently believe does not fulfill their wishes to have the kind of moral compass that the country should have for our young people. I’ve told some of you before, when television came to Alaska, it was on (1) VerDate 0ct 09 2002 08:14 Dec 12, 2005 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 S:\WPSHR\GPO\DOCS\SCST1129 JACK PsN: JACKF 2 a delay from Seattle, so we got the football games a week late, and we got all the programs a week late. And my first wife, and we had five kids, she thought we ought to get a television. I said, ‘‘No, there’s not going to be a television in this house. Those kids need to study. They need to come home and really apply themselves be- cause this is going to be a tough world for them, and we want to make sure they study right from the first grade.’’ Everything went on pretty well for about a year, then the mayor, who lived two doors down from me, said to me 1 day, he said, ‘‘Stevens, what the hell are your kids doing in my house all the time? ’’ [Laughter.] The CHAIRMAN.

  • Violence and Social Orders

    Violence and Social Orders

    This page intentionally left blank VIOLENCE AND SOCIAL ORDERS All societies must deal with the possibility of violence, and they do so in different ways. This book integrates the problem of violence into a larger social science and historical framework, showing how economic and political behavior are closely linked. Most societies, which we call natural states, limit violence by political manipulation of the economy to create privileged interests. These privileges limit the use of violence by powerful individuals, but doing so hinders both economic and political development. In contrast, modern societies create open access to economic and political organizations, fostering political and economic competition. The book provides a framework for understanding the two types of social orders, why open access societies are both politically and economically more developed, and how some twenty- five countries have made the transition between the two types. Douglass C. North is co-recipient of the 1993 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sci- ence. He is the Spencer T. Olin Professor in Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, where he served as director of the Center for Political Economy from 1984 to 1990, and is the Bartlett Burnap Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a former member of the Board of Directors of the National Bureau of Economic Research for twenty years, Professor North received the John R. Commons Award in 1992. The author of ten books, including Institutions, Institutional Change, and Economic Performance (Cambridge University Press, 1990) and Understanding the Process of Economic Change (2005), Professor North has research interests in property rights, economic organization in history, and the formation of political and economic institutions and their consequences through time.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

Ry� The Harper Anthology of Academic Writing Issue IX 1997 William Rainey Harper College T h e Harper Anthology Human language has the potential to be insensitive, ugly, even brutish. And yet we want to think, too, Foreword that Aristotle was right, that words are indeed what set human beings apart from the balance of the ani­ mal kingdom. We want to trust that just around the corner from the vulgar phrase lurks a sentence that resonates with ravishing poetry. We hope, as we pass ungraspable utterances, that we will come upon the sounds of words that are clear, frank, and true. The HarperAnt hology Selection Committee is determined and optimistic about unearthing lan­ guage that possesses clarity, frankness, and truth; we believe that human beings will, in obedience to cer­ tain internal impulses, fashion words uniquely and express themselves transparently, sometimes beauti­ fully. Most of all, we believe that good writing­ poetic, lyrical, illustrative, substantive, altogether soulful writing-is perennial, like baseball.
