, N.M. -- Visions of Dante's descent or Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" fill the mind with each advancing step closer to the darkness below.
Ingress into this subterranean realm is along an occasionally steep, one-mile paved decline from the cavern's natural entrance. Minimal lighting, intended more to highlight than illuminate, along with metal handrails running its length, provide visual thrills, while protecting against any white-knuckle detours.

Here the village may become the center of our world, but should we receive distressing news from home, we immediately feel ourselves dislocated, distanced from what has now become the axis of our concerns.9 Similarly, in dreaming the spatiality of the dream is organized according to affective values: In dreaming as in myth we learn where the phenomenon is to be found by feeling that towards which our desire goes out, what our heart dreams, on what our life depends. [...] far we have spoken of the experience of inside spaces from the perspective of those who dwell in them.

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...

In his autobiography, Peeling the Onion, which provoked a storm of controversy when it was published in 2006, Grass for the first time acknowledges that as a boy of seventeen he was a proud member of the infamous Waffen-SS. Clemens's fiction speaks with uncanny fidelity to the repressed moral anguish of white America - which is to say that guilt is most characteristically manifest in both the manner and the matter of his writing as a restive impulse straining upward, against formidable resistance, toward the surface of consciousness.\n Grass' experience of the Second World War, by contrast, confronted him with moral challenges of greater gravity from which he had fewer avenues of moral retreat.

Though they cannot supplant nor replace other methodologies, films can possibly raise new questions, provide different perspectives, and reveal unique ways of knowing about seminal subject, at least by comparison to the standard fare of academic analysis. Each one, "ethics" and "leadership," draw upon substantially different intellectual literatures, scholarly methodologies, traditional assumptions, and disciplinary perspectives. Film, often far better than social science literature, may provide a more "holistic account" of not only individual lives, but entire situations where ethical leadership is practiced. Finally, ethical leadership includes the use of symbols. Symbols abound throughout, thus giving the story meaning, depth, and power beyond simply "a typical feel-good" movie. List...
