“Around the Clock” Evolution of Weakness
Authors: Liveson Jay Allan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A 72-year-old woman was reexamined because of paresthesias of both arms and progressive gait instability. She related the onset to an automobile accident 3 years ago. During the accident, whiplash of her neck resulted in sudden paresthesias in her left hand. During the next year, these sensations extended proximally and also to the other hand. She slowly developed urinary urgency and unsteadiness of gait. During an earlier evaluation (10 months before) she had sensory loss in her left hand, weakness, hyperactive DTRs in all extremities, absent abdominal reflexes, and an extensor plantar response on the left. Electrodiagnostic studies were normal at that time. During the 10-month interim, her leg weakness progressed and the paresthesias extended proximally.
Club Foot Preoperative Evaluation
Authors: Liveson Jay Allan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
An 11-year-old girl was referred for evaluation prior to achilles tendon lengthening for bilateral congenital “club foot” (talipes equinovarus). She had been delivered prematurely (at 8 months, gestation age weight 600 mg) and treated for the foot abnormality. Because of overheating, she developed a bum that became infected, leading to gangrene and amputation of two toes. The child’s development was slightly slowed, and she was placed in a special class by the age of 7. She was successful in sports, including running, but had difficulty finding shoes to fit. Tics were noted at an early age, and persisted to date. Family history was negative for similar disorders.
Cerebral Calcifications and Hemiparesis
Authors: Liveson Jay Allan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A 41-year-old man noted right-sided numbness and weakness for 2 weeks. After clinical evaluation, an MRI revealed multiple cerebral periventricular calcifications. He was referred for evaluation of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. There was no medical or relevant family history. Physical Examination. Cranial nerves, cerebellar, and sensory function were intact. There was a mild right hemiparesis. DTRs were active with slight exaggeration of the right biceps jerk. No pathologic reflexes were obtained.
Aphasia and its Therapy
Authors: Basso Anna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is the first single-authored book to attempt to bridge the gap between aphasia research and the rehabilitation of patients with this language disorder. Studies of the deficits underlying aphasia and the practice of aphasia rehabilitation have often diverged, and the relationship between theory and practice in aphasiology is loose. The goal of this book is to help close this gap by making explicit the relationship between what is to be rehabilitated and how to rehabilitate it. Early chapters cover the history of aphasia and its therapy from Broca's discoveries to the 1970's, and provide a description of the classic aphasia syndromes. The middle section describes the contribution of cognition neuropsychology and the treatment models it has inspired. It includes discussion of the relationship between the treatment approach and the functional model upon which it is based. The final chapters deal with aphasia therapy. After providing a sketch of a working theory of aphasia, Basso describes intervention procedures for disorders resulting from damage at the lexical and sentence levels as well as a more general conversation-based intervention for severe aphasics. Anna Basso has run an aphasia rehabilitation unit for more than thirty years. In this book she draws on her considerable experience to provide researchers, clinicians, and their students and trainees with comprehensive coverage of the evolution and state of the art of aphasia research and therapy.
Is Democracy Special?
Authors: Barry Brian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The question to which this essay is addressed is the following: does the fact that a law was passed by a democratic procedure provide a special reason for obeying it? Let me begin by explaining what I mean by “a special reason.”
If we look at any law we can say that there are usually reasons for obeying it, such as fear of punishment, anxiety about the general effects of disobedience on social stability, and unwillingness to take advantage of the compliance of others (the essence of the John Rawls’s “duty of fair play”). There are also often reasons for disobeying it, of which personal advantage is the most obvious. In addition it seems plausible that approval of the content of the law makes the case for obeying it stronger than it would otherwise be, while disapproval makes it weaker. “Approval” and “disapproval,” however, are anodyne generic terms, which conceal a range of relevantly different responses. It seems on the face of it reasonable to say, for example, that equally strong disapproval of two laws, one on the basis of its imprudence or inefficiency, the other on the basis of its injustice or immorality, should have different implications.
The Isten Gytilekezet in Hungarian Society
Authors: Lange Barbara Rose 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Brother Horváth, the leader of the IG congregation, became involved in Pentecostalism when the Soviet army occupied Hungary at the end of World War II. He told me was attending gymnasium in preparation to become a Lutheran pastor. His schooling ended abruptly with the occupation, and he encountered Pentecostals while he was fleeing the army.
Roma and the hívő énekek
Authors: Lange Barbara Rose 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One night when Brother Misi asked for song requests during the Szigetvar worship meeting, Brother Gal’s wife Aniko called out, “Viharos az elet [life is stormy],” a line from a song that I had only heard a month before on a trip north to Ozd. Brother Rudi played the descending pentachord that began the melody. Tapping his drumsticks together rhythmically, Brother Gal sang the first line under his breath.
Psychosocial Support: Maintaining an Effective Team
Authors: Buckey Jay C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As a group, astronauts function at a high level and are relatively free of psychological or psychiatric problems. Significant psychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia, have not been a problem for space missions. Astronauts are screened for major psychiatric illnesses before selection and would not be assigned to crews if they could not function effectively in a team. Nevertheless, the social isolation and confinement of long-duration spaceflight present significant psychological challenges. Psychosocial problems appear to have played a part in long-duration missions terminated for medical reasons (table 2-1) [1, 2].
Nutrition: Maintaining Body Mass and Preventing Disease
Authors: Buckey Jay C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After spending 4 months on Mir in 1995, Norm Thagard weighed 8 kg (17.5 pounds) less than when he launched. He had lost approximately 11% of his body weight [1]. When a group of 10 climbers attempted to summit Mt. Everest in 1989, they lost an average of 9.6% of their body weight [2]. A group of 66 polar explorers who spent 10 months in Antarctica maintained a stable weight throughout (although they did show an increase in body fat and decrease in muscle mass [3]). Submarine crews often have skinfold thicknesses higher than similarly aged men and must work to keep their weight from increasing [4].
Attention and Attentional Disorders
Authors: Devinsky Orrin , D’esposito Mark 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Attention is a fundamental behavior. It comprises different processes and is integrally involved in diverse cognitive functions. Attention encompasses generalized activation of the cognitive processes of orienting, filtering, and selecting inputs; preparing for action; and maintaining thought on a stimulus, mental activity, or goal. Attention, a vital foundation for higher cognitive functions, maintains a coherent stream of thought. The ability to sustain attention, or vigilance, is necessary for complex behaviors, such as understanding and remembering a story. Therefore, attention must be tested first, before other cognitive functions. An inattentive patient’s failure to perform calculations sheds no light on arithmetic skills. Rather, attentional dysfunction is a central feature of syndromes due to diffuse cerebral dysfunction such as delirium, as well as syndromes due to focal cerebral damage such as the neglect syndrome. In addition, attentional dysfunction often accompanies other cognitive impairments in such common neurological.
Hegel’s Dialectical Logic
Authors: Bencivenga Ermanno 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This clear, accessible account of Hegelian logic makes a case for its enormous seductiveness, its surprising presence in the collective consciousness, and the dangers associated therewith. Offering comprehensive coverage of Hegel’s important works, Bencivenga avoids getting bogged down in short-lived scholarly debates to provide a work of permanent significance and usefulness.
Introduction
Authors: Bencivenga Ermanno 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Several times over the last ten years, as I painstakingly worked my way through Hegel’s corpus, I asked myself what kind of book (if any) I should write about him. The imposing majesty of his texts evoked longings for similarly comprehensive architectures; the startling vistas opened by many of his individual steps suggested care ful, diligent unpacking, lest the jargon smother the precious intuitions deposited there; the complex, creative borrowings from other philosophers—or of other philosophers from him—as well as the deep, revealing antagonisms with yet others (or with the same ones) seemed to demand an elaborate, detailed taxonomy. Eventually, I decided to do none of the above; and here I want to explain why.
A Semantics of Narratives
Authors: Bencivenga Ermanno 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Some … [German] words … possess the … peculiarity of having not only different but opposite meanings so that one cannot fail to recognize a speculative spirit of the language in them: it can delight a thinker to come across such words and to find the union of opposites naively shown in the dictionary as one word with opposite meanings, although this result of speculative thinking is nonsensical to the understanding.

Chromosomal Barriers to lnterspecific Gene Exchange
Authors: Levin Donald A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Chromosomal differences between species and the attendant meiotic abnormalities they impose on interspecific hybrids reduce the potential for interspecific gene exchange between species at the same pilonidal level. This reduction is the product of partial sterility, on the one hand, and reduced recombination in rearranged chromosomal segments, on the other. The magnitude of the barrier to gene exchange depends on the nature, number, and size of the rearrangements.
Permanent Translocation Heterozygosity
Authors: Levin Donald A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Translocation heterozygosis occurs independent of hybridization in some species, as described in chapter 2. These translocation heterozygotes typically have reduced fertility and are transient, in the sense that upon self-fertilization they generate chromosomal homozygotes as well as heterozygotes. Even if these translocation heterozygotes have some advantage over their homozygous counterparts, they have no mechanism to transmit this state to their progeny. They can be reconstituted only by crossing between plants with different chromosomal end arrangements.
Toni Morrison’s Beloved
Authors: Rody Caroline 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On the back of the Plume edition of Toni Morrison’s Beloved, reviewer John Leonard proclaims, “I can’t imagine American literature without it!” Evidently intended as consummate praise, this remark would seem to congratulate Morrison for having written into the incomplete canon of American literature the very chapter of American history it had long lacked: the story of the African Americans who survived slavery. And in an important sense, Beloved is manifestly “about” the filling of historical gaps. “Sixty million and more” reads Morrison’s dedication, simply, suggesting at once the numerous ancestors the novel attempts to memorialize, and a vast absence its words could never fill.
Caribbean Women’s Literature and the Mother of History
Authors: Rody Caroline 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In a recurrent scene of education in Caribbean fiction, children of the islands solemnly offer obeisance to a European nation they have never seen, reciting the absurd formulae of genealogy by which colonial authority teaches them to know themselves. African-Caribbean children of the French-speaking islands learn “to respect the flag of France our mother, to revere her greatness and majesty and the glory that went back to the beginning of time, when we were still monkeys with their tails cut off” (Schwarz-Bart 52), while in British Jamaica, a “class of multicolored boys” chants: “mulatto, offspring of African and white; sambo, offspring of African and mulatto; quadroon, offapring of mulatto and white; mestee, offspring of quadroon and white; mestefeen , offspring of mestee and white.” These boys are among the “fortunate,” as their teacher informs them, for “in the Spanish colonies there were 128 categories to be memorized” (Cliff, No Telephone 56).
Decolonizing Jamaica’s Daughter
Authors: Rody Caroline 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“You taught me language, and my profit on’t / Is, I know how to curse” (The Tempest 1.2.363-64). For Jamaica-born novelist Michelle Cliff, the famous retort to Prospero that inspired a host of twentieth-century Caribbean Calibans “immediately brings to . . . mind the character of Bertha Rochester, wild and raving ragout, as Charlotte Brontë describes her.” Feminizing the New World rebel savage, Cliff claims mad Bertha as Caliban’s missing sister. To complete the mythic family tree, Cliff declares herself “Caliban’s Daughter” and “granddaughter of Sycorax.” & for Clare Savage, semiautobiographical heroine of Cliff’s first two novels, “Bertha Rochester is her ancestor.” And, she adds, “It takes a West Indian writer, Jean Rhys, to describe Bertha from the inside . . . “ (“Clare” 264-65). Consciously deriving from Rhys a tradition of West Indian women’s literary resistance, Cliff creates in Abeng (1984) and its sequel No Telephone to Heaven (1987) a heroine whose life story appropriates European “language”—in its genres of historiography, historical fiction, and the bildungsroman—in order to reclaim her maternal history.
Crossing Water
Authors: Rody Caroline 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Because ghosts—so they say—do not cross water, the unhappy spirit of Great-Uncle Bert, who commits suicide in France in Maryse Condé’s Tree of Life (La Vie Scelerate, 1987), must spend eternity an ocean away from his family back in Guadeloupe. Likewise, Tituba and Hester, seventeenth century friends in Condé’s I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem (Moi, Tituba, Sorcière . . . Noire de Salem, 1986), must endure separate afterlives because Tituba dies in her beloved Barbados, and Hester in Puritan New England.
The territorial fixity of the dead in the Caribbean maxim makes emotional sense; every ghost haunts his or her own land. Yet Condé’s plots consistently take her characters far from their homelands, creating unlikely attachments that must then be broken and unlikely separations that must be suffered eternally.
At the Bedside
Authors: Pierce Jessica , Jameton Andrew 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of the major problems of environmentalism is that its large concern for the fate of the earth seems to overwhelm concern for individual humans. The problems of those who are terminally ill, or facing an unexpected pregnancy or cancer, have an appeal and poignancy for most people that the hard statistics of global decline lack. What medical ethics discussion usually tries to do is to make connections between the local concerns of patients and clinicians and a general framework so that individuals can make decisions that make sense from a larger perspective.
Global Bioethics and Justice
Authors: Pierce Jessica , Jameton Andrew 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When Van Potter first proposed the term bioethics in 1970, he described it as the “science of survival.” Worried about the unfolding global environmental crisis, he called for a coordinated response from science and the humanities (Potter 1971 ). By 1990, bioethics had become so strongly associated with the more narrowly focused field of medical ethics that Potter proposed the term global bioethics to describe-and encourage-an ethics of health care in the context of global survival and Earth care. A 1995 article cowritten with his daughter Lisa placed global survival on a continuum of acceptability: business as usual would result in a world of “mere” or “miserable” survival where the quality of human existence would be reduced to its lowest levels, largely as a result of excessive consumption and population growth. The Potters envisioned a culture based on global bioethics that would permit an “acceptable” level of survival and a stable state of human health and dignity worldwide. Such a world would be achieved in part by an ethics of restraint in consumption and reproduction (Potter and Potter 1995). In a world of limits, scarcity, and environmental constraints, the morally best world is one in which all people for many generations-can live with adequate health and quality of life without destroying the ecological basis of species diversity and meaningful community.
December 9 Swing!
Authors: Suskin Steven 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A diminutive man with a ukulele, a small mustache, and a purple and blue pinstripe suit stepped downstage to the apron of the St. James, moving into a pool of light. “What good is music?” he sang. “What good is melody, if it ain’t got something sweet?” The lights came up on a bandstand lined with strips of chrome and neon, and a truly swinging band went into Duke Ellington’s “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing).” Now, we have heard this song before on Broadway, in just about every anthology revue that has come along recently (except Sondheim’s Putting It Together). It was hard, therefore, not to notice right off the bat that it sounded fresh and original and exciting. As the band continued, a dancing couple skittered on to do a short specialty; then another couple, then another. They were all dressed in whites and creams and beiges and coffees, all swinging their partners around the stage, and they all looked like they were enjoying themselves.
April 17 The Real Thing
Authors: Suskin Steven 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One Indian summer afternoon I was sitting in the Chinese restaurant around the corner when my attention was engaged by a conversation from the next table. Facing me was an elderly, British colonel type, although he was dressed more like a college professor on recess. The woman I could not see, except for the back of some highly dignified white hair.
The woman was speaking in quiet but commanding tones, so I could hear only certain phrases. She was talking about some party to which she had been obliged to attend, despite clearly disliking such affairs. The colonel presumably knew as much, as he was clearly an old acquaintance. I heard something about “the cast”— which piqued my attention— and how “Jerry” was there and she spoke to “André.” This was obviously Lincoln Center Theater’s André Bishop and, presumably, director Gerry Gutierrez. Although I couldn’t hear enough to make much sense of the conversation— to which the colonel, incidentally, contributed not a word— I decided that I must figure out who the woman eating chicken with broccoli might be, so I put down my six-month-old copy of the New Yorker (I’m perennially way behind) and listened.
April 27 The Music Man
Authors: Suskin Steven 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“But he doesn’t know the territory,” complains the bad guy in The Music Man. That’s pretty much what they said on Broadway back in 1957, not only about Professor Harold Hill (the hero) but also about second-rank Hollywood lead Robert Preston (the star) and composer-lyricist-librettist Meredith Willson as well. As it turned out, they knew the territory well enough. Harold got the girl; “Press” got a Tony and a new Broadway career; and Willson got two Tonys — beating out Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, and Arthur Laurents for their work on West Side Story — and an Oscar as well.
April 30 Uncle Vanya
Authors: Suskin Steven 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Part of the mission of most nonprofit theatres, for better or worse, is to provide modern-day audiences with the occasional classic. I speak not of modern classics, like Death of a Salesman, or modern nonclassics, like The Rainmaker; but of real, old, “classical” classics, those that more or less predate the twentieth century.
The Paradoxes of Irreversibility
Authors: Zwanzig Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For many years, certain “paradoxes,” usually called the reversibility paradox and the recurrence paradox, have plagued the development of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. For some time, they led to the belief that there is a fundamental contradiction between Hamiltonian dynamics and the irreversibility that we see everywhere. Even now they are often taken seriously. The subject of this chapter is why there is no fundamental contradiction.
Edward and Charles
Authors: Bosco Ronald A , Myerson Joel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Writing to Lidian after his brother Charles’s death on 9 May 1836, Waldo lamented the literal and figurative darkness that had descended on his world. One of the greatest joys of his life, he told her, was that he “saw” the world through his brother’s eyes, so that now, with Charles gone, he felt his own sight and imagination had grown irreparably “dim.” What is more, he thought, “[a] soul is gone so costly & so rare” that no one could ever fix the price of its loss or repair the loneliness that he would now forever feel. With “the immense promise of[Charles’s] maturity . . . destroyed,” Waldo confessed to his wife, “I feel not only unfastened . . . and adrift,” “but a sort of shame at living at all” (12 May 1836, L, 2:19–20).
William and Waldo: Finances and Family
Authors: Bosco Ronald A , Myerson Joel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After Charles Chauncy Emerson’s death, Waldo and William Emerson settled into an easy and familiar relationship, the type that is typical of brothers who care for each other and who have gone through rough times together. There were other family members who needed care and assistance: Bulkeley was boarded out for the rest of his life and there were expenses associated with that; Ruth Haskins Emerson stayed with Waldo’s family from the mid-1830s onwards, visiting with William’s family in New York at regular intervals; and Mary Moody Emerson needed a great deal of help to extricate herself from a bad real estate deal. On a more positive note, there were visits the two families exchanged, and the road from Concord to New York was well traveled. But, as the years progressed, money became a major theme of the brothers’ correspondence, both in terms of William’s helping Waldo to arrange for lectures in New York and Waldo’s assisting (actually, bailing out) William with his real estate speculations on Staten Island.
A Born Pianist
Authors: Clark Walter Aaron 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The medieval cathedral (Seu Vella) of Lleida, on the Segre River in Catalonia, sits high atop a hill overlooking the surrounding plain and the mountains beyond. It thus occupies a very defensible position, and the fortifications around it bear mute witness to the violent dramas that have taken place beneath their parapets. Whoever held Lleida held a large region around it. No army ever approached the town by surprise, though it has been besieged over the millennia by Romans, Goths, Moors, and French, as well as Catalans and Castilians. It has suﬀered its fair share of destruction, but the well-preserved Romanesque and Gothic churches and buildings throughout the city give evidence of a hearty longevity.
