The piece by Leslie Lebl (April 8) scares me. Especially considering that sharia (Islamic law) might supersede the law of the land. Imagine allowing blasphemy (sharia definition), apostasy (sharia definition of abandoning Islam) and women showing an interest in a non-Muslim man being punishable by death. Imagine also the right of a husband to beat his wife.
These are beliefs of both Islamic extremists and moderates. Hopefully, America can stress to the Muslims coming to this country that they are welcome, provided they place our laws above "sharia" where they conflict.

The Chinese Government often boasts that one of its greatest achievements is feeding China's entire population, constituting 22% of the world's population, with only 9% of the world's arable land. However, visiting China's countryside and asking who actually owns the farmland produces answers so drastically different that one could easily conclude that no one really knows. Considering that China contains 120 million hectares of arable land, its ownership is probably the biggest unresolved question on property rights in China, and is, unequivocally, one of the most critical questions for the 700 million rural Chinese who live there. This paper attempts to shed light on these issues by reviewing the development of China's rural land-rights and the status of farmers' property rights under ...

Today marriage-based entitlements are considered part and parcel of marriage itself. This was not always the case. Mining hundreds of handwritten administrative records, executive branch reports, and federal statutes, this Article traces the origins of public marriage-based entitlements to an underexamined and surprisingly broad-scale system of early nineteenth-century federal military pensions and land grants that provided financial assistance to tens of thousands of widows. This Article demonstrates how, in an early instance of bureaucratic disentitlement, the administrators charged with adjudicating women's subsidy claims systematically resisted the capacious conception of marriage used by contemporary courts and narrowed the legal definition of marriage, in part to protect the publi...
