University of Texas Law School Foundation In the Winter 2008 issue of UT Law, two captions were switched. The gentlemen on page 56 President, Board of Trustees ROBERT C.

Piuze, ’71, Los Angeles, California: UT LAW MAGAZINE Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting him, I am sure that Joe Jamail Editor deserves all the accolades in your recent article (“Joe Jamail Breaks Another Record,” KIRSTON FORTUNE Summer 2008)—except one: his $11 billion verdict in Pennzoil v.

  • Yesterday and Today There Are Not Many Universities Focused on the Needs of Small Communities That Are Widely Dispersed Over a Large Geographical Area
    Yesterday and Today There are not many universities focused on the needs of small communities that are widely dispersed over a large geographical area. But since opening its doors in 1910, West Texas A&M University has been committed to understanding the aspirations of the young people in these small communities and fully appreciating their view of the future. Their hopes and dreams have always been an important part of our role as a regional university, and we will continue to be responsive to their needs through academic purpose and service. —Walter V. Wendler, WTAMU President 1 YESTERDAY Among the achievements of my four years in office, I feel the greatest was the West Texas A&M University’s history began when Texas State Superintendent of Public Education Robert Canyon was the chosen site for the school.

ABSTRACT Petroleum development in Texas historically has generated statewide bene- fits in the form of direct and indirect employment, tax revenue, and personal income. While Texans generally overestimate their economic dependence on per troleum, state education subsidies do depend on it heavily. Petroleum produc- tion has been decreasing in recent years, but utility companies have caused lignite development and consumption to increase dramatically. Despite these statewide benefits, both petroleum and lignite development impose local costs. The adverse impacts most often perceived by local officials are (i) inadequacy of public services; (ii) financial inability to expand public services; (iii) housing shortages; (iv) disruption of agriculture; and (v) social problems. The severity of these impacts depend on the initial size of the local population, the growth rate, and quality of public manage- ment preceding and following the boom, the type of energy development, and the social milieu.

Mulcahy during the past four decades. He has been at the forefront of change in Wisconsin's public sector labor law as well as a faithful chronicler of its development. We represent management, labor, and neutral positions. Our experience strongly supports the conclusions reached by Mr. Mulcahy in this insightful article. Labor, management, and neutrals are aware of the public demand for significant changes in the way government services are performed. The innovation proposals modeled by Mr. Mulcahy and adopted by the Wisconsin Council on Municipal Collective Bargaining are a harbinger of such change.

  • Llano Estacado Winery and the Rise of the Modern
    FORKED TENDRILS: LLANO ESTACADO WINERY AND THE RISE OF THE MODERN TEXAS WINE INDUSTRY by ERIC D. SANCHEZ, B.A. A THESIS IN HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved May, 1996 TXJ,^ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would Kke to extend my thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Ronald Rainger, whose guidance and instruction in my academic career helped me greatly. In addition, I would also like to thank Dr. Paul Carlson, whose humor and patience were well appreciated. I would also like personally to thank Kim McPherson, who answered the numerous questions of a young man, largely ignorant about the wine and grape industry. As I learned more about the industry, Greg Bruni offered his generous support. He patiently filled gaps and answered questions I still had, thereby greatly contributing to my education with perseverance and skill. The personnel at Llano Estacado Winery, including Don Graf and Walter Haimann, who both enlightened me about the legal and business ramifications of the wine industry, were extremely helpful. Appreciation is due to the numerous officials at the Texas Alcoholic and Beverage Commission, the Texas Wine Marketing Research Institute, past and present state legislators, Texas winemakers and to Tim Pierce at South Plains Association of Governments. If it were not for the patience and consideration of Dr. Clinton "Doc" McPherson, Robert Reed, and Dr. Roy Mitchell, this thesis would not be possible. Their humorous stories and reflections on their endeavor sparked my interest into producing this work.
