Editor, the Tribune: I would like to respond to a letter by David Rosman, published on Jan. 6, and add some context and clarification to Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association that contains the phrase "wall of separation between Church and State." It was written on Jan. 1, 1802, to calm the Danbury Baptists, who feared Congress was in the process of choosing a particular Christian denomination to be the "state" denomination. Rosman accurately quotes Jefferson's letter as reading, "their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," which quotes the First Amendment to the Constitution, and because Jefferson continues with the phrase "wall of separation between Church and State," many inaccurately b...
While attending college back in the day, I took a few philosophy courses that appeared to endlessly examine the question: What is the meaning of life? While the answer varies, it became apparent to me that the meaning of life is reflective of experiences and exposure to such everyday elements as jobs, health care, voting rights, education, spiritual and religious commitment, family love and trust. Thus, the meaning of life can be positive if one has positive experiences with these elements. Yet on the flipside, it can be negative given obstacles, limited access or just plain exclusion.
Perhaps the most remarkable and best known translator of the King James Bible was Lancelot Andrewes. Brilliant from birth, he was so studious as a boy that people thought it unnatural. Later in life he was described as being "dauntingly learned." Service in the Church of England included being Bishop of Chichester and Bishop of Ely. For the KJB, he was director of the First Westminster Company, which translated the first books of the Old Testament. Lancelot Andrewes had command of 15 different languages. Author Gordon Campbell writes that Lancelot Andrewes "was by some measure the most powerful figure among all the translators, partly because he exercised very considerable powers of patronage, but also because he was one of the most learned men in England, and he offered intellectual as...
Appellant's causes of action are based upon the manner in which the attorney represented the client. Thus, all of the counts in the complaint constitute an action for legal malpractice within the meaning of R.C. 2305.11. Because the constitutional claims were apparent but not made in the trial court, appellant waived these arguments. Under both the "discovery" test and the "termination" tests, appellant's complaint was outside the one-year statute of limitations.
First of all, Wagner suppressed, one after the other, all the means of giving pleasure that opera had at its disposal in order to give free rein to the drama; then he suppressed drama and replaced it with a bizarre phraseology and a socalled philosophy whose meaning escapes me completely. [...] Saint-Saëns could write: "Berlioz's elegance is not immediately apparent in his clumsy, maladroit writing; it is hidden in the texture, you could say in the very flesh of his music," and "Gounod's . . . writing, impeccably elegant as it is, sometimes conceals a certain nucleus of vulgarity" (pp. 142-43).
This article is concerned with the claim made by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) of the United Kingdom (UK) that it is a "harm reduction agency with law enforcement powers." This novel description prompts some important questions about the political saliency of the term harm reduction in the context of UK drug policy. The article will explore the extent to which SOCA, which began operation in 2006, and the 2005 attempt by the Home Office to develop a drug harm index signify a re-framing of UK drug policy. Does the SOCA remit reflect a pragmatic lowering of expectations concerning the ability of law enforcement to reduce drug crime? Or does it reflect a political pragmatism that casts familiar methods in a new, softer light? The article will explore the recent etymology of harm...

The reality is, it seems that we can not help but offend each other, we do it all the time, some one says to us, "I don't like what you did" or "You're stupid!" or "You're ugly." Or any of a thousand other insults people may teow out or address one another during a day. Our first instinct is often to reply with an expletive snd walk away, but the Lord would have us not only not respond in kind, but to allow the person to have a change of heart and apologize, confident that he or she will be forgiven by us, because of our love for them. Many of us remember hanging around with a group of friends on the corner, or at some one's house, or on the way to or from school and "Playing the dozens." We could say anything to each other and hardly ever get mad, and a quick, "I'm sorry," would make e...

Some years ago, in this very column, I pointed out that no recognized medical organization actually recommends "total body CT scans" for screening purposes. Such scans are nonetheless sought by patients who feel they simply need to know about every nook and cranny of their anatomy, and actively peddled by clinics contending they can extend your life. I stand by my convictions that such testing is ill-advised, and more likely to do harm than good. But I hasten to add that when I broached that topic, I received a rather impassioned letter from a reader whose father had undergone such testing in which critical pathology was discerned. According to my correspondent, the very testing I was arguing against had saved his father's life. I believe him, but it doesn't change my position -- and in...

Matt Orsini's "Social Cross Section" (2005) is pregnant with metaphor. A simple painting that depicts nary a person, "Cross Section" features two wooden ladders "wedded" at an angle and further conjoined with what appear to be strips of cloth. In this visual simile of stratification and amalgamation, the artist illuminates social order and civilization at large through the abstract. In Kardambikis's "The Creation of Mountains" (2006), however, the "snake" has turned: Here our caped, headless hero seems to be exacting revenge for their mutual enmity. Sitting atop an outcrop of quartz-like crystals, he blows from his mouth a breeze of blue stones that encapsulates the lion-man within a rocky tomb. A series revealing high-quality draftsmanship and an imagination blending the classics with ...

For those of you who don't know, a gangster lean is driving while resting your right elbow on the middle arm rest of your car. To do it right you have to be leaning on your right elbow, your left hand should be on the top of the steering wheel, and your head positioned almost underneath the rear view mirror. The song made reference to diamond in the back, a padded Phantom top that looks like a convertible. Sun rooftop, the word "top" there being redundant. Digging the scene, an eighties term meaning driving around for no apparent reason trying to be cool, and of course the leaning thing. Nowadays, only "OG's" - Original Gangsters or Old Dudes - seem to adopt the classic leaning posture, and to do it right you need a Lincoln Town Car, or a Sedan De Ville on vogue tires.
