• Pay Me Now or Pay Me (More) Later: Common Mistakes in Ilits and How to Avoid Them

When used correctly, irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILIT) are amazing tools that can remove life insurance proceeds from a client's estate, protect the proceeds from beneficiaries' creditors, and govern the administration and distribution of the proceeds for the beneficiaries' benefit. Unfortunately, in creating an ILIT, a number of errors may occur, and the ILIT may fail to function as the client or the client's advisors intended. Several strategies are available to eliminate mistakes in old ILITs and avoid mistakes in new ones, resulting in superior planning for the client and increasing appropriate life insurance sales to these vehicles. Finding and resolving potential issues before they create significant tax or legal issues for a client will result in better outcomes for the cl...

• Judgment, History, Memory: Arendt and Benjamin On Connecting Us to Our Past

I want to elucidate some connections between memory and judgment by presenting these themes in the work of Hannah Arendt and Walter Benjamin. It is my sense that we can learn a lot about these themes from these two seminal thinkers, if not from what they share in common (something that might be called a "solution" to a particular problem, or even a "theory"), but at least from the serious questions that confronted both and which should confront us more often.

• Lessons Learned From Vietnam

[...] corruption was considerably more widespread in North Vietnam than in the South, giving lie to a common assumption that there was something morally pristine about the highly disciplined North. [...] the problem of corruption had become so acute in the North that, in 1967, Ho Chi Minh himself felt compelled to go on the radio and inveigh against this troublesome plague.

• Together in Prayer Local Group Aims to Unite Christians for Common Cause

Johnny Kincaid has a vision for Evansville. But it's not just his vision; a growing number of Christians from several area churches, large and small, mainstream and nondenominational, are joining him in an ongoing effort to bring people together in prayer for a common cause: the spiritual health of Evansville. He points to the second annual "Pastors United for Evansville" conference scheduled for Aug. 28 at God's Way Church in Evansville as an example; local participation in the World Day of Prayer is another.

• Stages of Small-Group Development Revisited1

Bruce Tuckman (1965) reviewed fifty-five articles dealing with stages of small group development in an attempt to isolate those concepts common to the various studies and produce a generalizable model of changes in group life over time. He examined studies of 1. therapy groups, 2. human relations training or T-groups, and 3. natural and laboratory-task groups in terms of two realms - task and interpersonal. The way members acted and related to one another was considered group-structure or the interpersonal realm: the content of the interaction as related to the task was referred to as the task-activity realm. The purpose of this follow-up study is to discover whether anyone has empirically tested the model of group development proposed by Tuckman in 1965, to investigate any new models i...
