PIEDRA Staff, OAS Washingt n, DC (1960-1962) U.S. Representative t the Ec n mic an. S cial C uncil, OAS Washingt n, DC (1912-1912) Alberto M. Piedra was born in Havana, Cuba and raised in Europe. After a brief stint in Fidel Castro‘s government, he left Cuba to finish his degree at Georgetown. Piedra wor ed for OAS, then was appointed Ambassador to Guatemala. Some of this other posts included special advisor to the General Assembly of the United Nations and a appointment on the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Piedra was interviewed by Charles Stuart Kennedy in 1991. PIEDRA: So, in September I left. I came bac9 to Washington and started loo9ing for a job. My wife did not leave because the baby was born in June and she wanted to wait a few months so she didn't leave until about December. In the meantime I got a job at the OAS, Organi0ation of American States. That is how I began my professional career in the States. Finally my wife joined me in December and we have stayed in Washington ever since. We have lived in Washington since 1959. Q, I ta e it that you were not part of the Cuban e.ile community that developed particularly around Miami/ PIEDRA: No, I was not. As you can well imagine I 9new many of the people who afterwards left Cuba and I maintain fairly close contact with some of them in Miami. 5ut I have never been part of that community in the sense that we have been in Washington and they have been in Miami. Q, 0he reason I mention this is for someone loo ing at this in the future, this group, as often an emigre group does, is much concerned with Cuba, internal politics and also the emigre politics within an area. PIEDRA: We were concerned with internal politics in Cuba because after all it was the country we were born in. 5ut I was not directly involved in any internal politics that too9 place in Miami. Q, I wonder if you would tal a little about your time on the OAS staff. 1ou were there from 1920422 and would return 20 years later. How did you see the OAS operating in the early 20s, the time when the Alliance of Progress was just getting started and all that/ And America7s role in the OAS, was there a change when you got into it later on/ PIEDRA: Well, obviously you have to reali0e that I was at an entirely different level when I was at the OAS the first time so therefore my approach was slightly different. Now I thin9 and have always maintained that the OAS has a role to play...it played it in the past and I thin9 it can play it in the future. When I was there the first time I thin9 the OAS was much more involved in economic matters. It was also involved in political matters, obviously, but I thin9 greater stress was placed on economic aspects. Maybe the reason for this was that at that time the Inter-American Development 5an9 was just beginning, as you 9now. It was in its very initial stages. As the 5an9 developed it too9 over many of the economic functions of the OAS. Therefore that particular role of the OAS has definitely declined, in my opinion. I may be wrong. That does not mean that the OAS does not have a role to play, but I don't thin9 it is as significant as it was before. Nevertheless, from a political point of view, on a regional basis, I thin9 it has solved problems. I thin9 it has solved problems, maybe of what you might call on a global level of a minor importance, but from the point of view of the area, it has played a significant role in the 1onduran and Salvadoran conflict as well as other territorial conflicts. So from that point of view it did play a role, it is still playing a role and I thin9 it can continue from our point of view to play a role. *** Q, How did your appointment to be the number two person in the US Delegation to the OAS come about/ 1ou served there from 1982484. PIEDRA: In all honestly it is difficult to tell. I guess it came about because I had contacts in the Senate and Congress. I suppose they needed somebody in .atin American affairs and in a very special way I also 9new Ambassador Middendorf. Q, Who was the chief of the delegation. PIEDRA: Apparently they tal9ed to Ambassador Middendorf and they said he needed somebody who would be a specialist in .atin American affairs. 1e called me one day and said, "Alberto I would li9e you to become my second at the OAS." I thought about it and since I am very much interested in the area I said, "Aes." When I mentioned before that one of my wea9 spots is teaching, I have to be fran9 and say that diplomacy has always attracted me, not politics. One must ma9e the distinction. Diplomacy has always attracted me. I li9e dealing with people. I am very socially inclined. 4etting involved with persons...I have always enjoyed that. And let me add that we did maintain through all these years very close contacts with the different .atin American embassies, so we had close contacts with ambassadors, etc. Q 0his is the early Reagan Administration which had been ta ing a jaundiced loo at the United Nations, etc. Did this carry over in its attitude towards the Organization American States/ PIEDRA: I do believe for many problems, especially in the region areas it was easier for the United States to get bac9ing within the OAS than a global institution li9e the United Nations where at that time there were the Soviet bloc countries, third world blocs, etc. which would for various reasons often vote against the United States. So for us it was easier to get the results we wanted by operating within a regional organi0ation. Q, So it wasn7t quite the same attitude as it was towards the United Nations44almost an attitude of disdain/ PIEDRA: No, no, I definitely would not say that. It is not a Buestion of disdain. It is a Buestion maybe of tactics if you wish, but it would be easier in many ways, I suppose, when a regional issue came up to get support within the hemisphere then it would be to go to the United Nations when you 9new beforehand that you were going to get the opposition of 3 number of votes. 1ere, within our region, there was a greater possibility of us being able.... Q, 1ou could wor with the situation. PIEDRA: I do want to clarify it doesn't mean disdain. Not at all. Q, No, I was tal ing about disdain more for the United Nations. PIEDRA: I wouldn't call it disdain, I would call it for tactical reasons it was easier for us to get the results... .et's be very fran9 about this. .et's put the case of Cuba. Any issue involving Cuba would be much more difficult at that time, today things have changed, to get the support of whatever members of the UN than it would be of the OAS. Q, Were there any issues that occupied this two year periods/ What were they/ PIEDRA: The Malvinas issue. The Fal9land islands. Q, Could you e.plain what it was and what was the American role/ PIEDRA: We were in this particular incidence divided between our allegiance towards .atin America...most .atin American countries too9 the side of the Argentine...and on the other hand we also had our allegiances towards 5ritain for obvious reasons that we don't have to go into, plus the fact that it was an invasion. It was a territorial invasion of an area of the world that was under the 5ritish flag and they used military force and power to do it.

Jaffee: The Troubles with Law and Economics THE TROUBLES WITH LAW AND ECONOMICS Leonard 1? Jaffee* In this Article's first Part, the author sets Law and Economics' own devices against its fundamental proposition: In free contractual pursuit of personal wealth, we find the best means of serving nearly all of our legitimate interpersonaland social interests. Using the classic "efficient breach" case as paradigm, Profes- sor Jaffee argues that all contracts cases defy judgment of whether agreement or breach is efficient-that every such case is intractably ambiguous and threatens inefficient or vagrant costs, profits, or demoralization. He offers instead specific performance as the pre- ferred remedy for breach of contract. He argues that neither ex ante nor ex post contractual adjustments-whether toward an agreed remedy like liquidated damages or modification of obliga- tion-sufficiently resolve such cases or stay their threats, since we cannot ever know what is needed to compensate properly.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of Motherhood in Australian Films from 1900 to 1988
    SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of motherhood in Australian films from 1900 to 1988 CAROLINE M. PASCOE B.A. (Honours) M.A. UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 1998 ii The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. CAROLINE MYRA PASCOE iii ABSTRACT Although the position of mothers has changed considerably since the beginning of the twentieth century, an idealised notion of motherhood persists. The cinema provides a source of information about attitudes towards mothering in Australian society which is not diminished by the fact that mothers are often marginal to the narrative. While the study recognises that cinematic images are not unconditionally authoritative, it rests on the belief that films have some capacity to reflect and influence society. The films are placed in an historical context with regard to social change in Australian society, so that the images can be understood within the context of the time of the making and viewing of the films. The depictions of the mother are scrutinised with regard to her appearance, her attitude, her relationship with others and the expectations, whether explicit or implicit, of her role. Of particular significance is what happens to her during the film and whether she is punished or rewarded for her behaviour. The conclusions reached after analysis are used to challenge those ideas which assume that portrayals of motherhood are unchangeable and timeless.

  • A Poetics of Care: Mourning, Consolation, Healing
    A Poetics of Care: Mourning, Consolation, Healing. A Poetics of Care: Mourning, Consolation, Healing. Mary Anne Pip Stokes “Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (By Creative Work and Dissertation)” July 2010 The Centre for Ideas, VCAM. The University of Melbourne. i ~ Abstract ~ This thesis proposes a synthesis of the discourses of Care with art practices of Care. The thesis is written in two parts: Part1 outlines this synthesis of theory and practice in two chapters, Chapter 1, Writing Care and Chapter 2, Making Care. Part 2, also in two chapters, describes two installations shown by me in the course of this PhD with accompanying documentation. These are followed by Appendices. In Chapter 1, Writing Care, theories of Care by Heidegger, Alexander Garcia Düttmann, Emmanuel Levinas, Paul Ricoeur, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva and Iris Murdoch are examined for concepts which define Care. In this chapter a language, an articulation, which throws light on the concerns of the artwork of Care is also sought. In Chapter 2, of Part 1, I selected four arts practitioners to analyse and interpret processes, materials and subject matter in the light of the elucidation of Care found in the philosophies of Care, inquiring through the artworks into the contribution made to an understanding of Care. The four art practices were chosen to reflect different disciplines, media, materials and subject matter, enabling me to thoroughly test my double thesis question: Can a poetics of Care construct a theoretical and practical framework through which an art practice could be understood? And its implied converse: How does an art practice contribute to an understanding of Care? ii One major work from each of the four practices is selected: Derek Jarman’s Garden in Dungeness, Kent, UK; Brambuk, Living Cultural Centre, Gariwerd, Victoria, designed by the architect, Gregory Burgess; an installation, entitled, A Silkroom of One’s Own, by Melbourne artist, Elizabeth Presa and A Woman’s Tale, (1991) a film by the Melbourne based filmmaker, Paul Cox.
