A law school dean, a university president, a scholarly judge, and the head of the Foreign Ministry division in charge of Chile’s
frontiers agree: The Constitution of 1980 was the initial turning point in Chile’s transition from autocracy to pluralism.

Non-marital cohabitation has become widespread in modern, Western nations. It has led to dramatic declines in marriage rates
and contributed to high levels of unwed births and lone-parent families, thus negatively affecting child wellbeing.

Women advance more rapidly in the appointive executive and judicial branches than in the elected legislative branch at both
national and state levels. Demand side and supply side factors explain much of this. In particular, greater male variability
restricts the opportunity for gender equity.

Whatever else the 2008 presidential election may result in, we can be sure that it will only contribute further to the steadily
declining role of political parties in American politics, and the myriad negative consequences arising from that decline.

Based on first-hand qualitative research, this article describes and analyzes the significant role that a local, New York
City-based social service agency played in responding to 9/11; the sources of its notable ability to provide assistance to
individuals and families affected by this terrorist attack; and the structural strains and unanticipated divisions within
the agency that the heroism of its fervid engagement nevertheless engendered.

The morbidity and mortality issues likely to arise for geriatric superstars are not unlike those already realized for so-called
miracle babies. The therapeutic imperative and other social pressures, the technological imperative, financial interests,
and media hyping have driven the overzealous medical-science pursuits of very old individuals and very young fetal infants.
This article discusses lessons learned and lessons expected.

In the 1940s, leading public intellectuals established a commission to reform the American press. Many of them initially favored
heavy regulation of newspapers and other media. Though the men failed to change the press, their report lives on in schools
of journalism.

Conservative, and particularly religious opponents of enhancement technologies and of prolonging life indefinitely face formidable
challenges from policymakers who are largely liberated from any forms of Christian moral consensus. This is the predicament
of Daniel Callahan and others who are unable to translate their inescapably religious objections in secular terms.

The interdependence of etiquette consumers and producers makes the contemporary etiquette guide a book of rules informed by
realism rather than one etched from the behavior of the comfortable. While the acquisition of good manners facilitates comfort
and mobility, the yardstick of behavior, like the measure of standard language, evolves with the times and thus is never a
mere instrument of conformity.

The situations of nineteenth century dock workers and today’s immigrant day laborers bear striking similarities and challenges,
especially for those seeking to organize them into labor unions. The obstacles confronting such organizing efforts also underscore
the legitimate concerns many Americans have about the threats to social order posed by immigrants today.

The policy issues confronting the new administration in 2009 can benefit greatly from the results of social, behavioral, and
economic sciences research. Climate change, energy, human capital, social, capital, migration, public health, fairness, new
technologies, and foreign and defense policy are all issues that the research has addressed. The participation of social scientists
in the policy process will enhance the contributions of the research.

Getting to peace is not a straightforward process. In Uganda, internal conflict has raged for more than 20 years between the
Government and the Lord’s Resistance Army. The construction of a comprehensive negotiated settlement is at the mercy of conflicting
ideologies and influences at the international, national and grassroots levels. This paper examines the Juba peace talks,
the major actors in the negotiation process, and tension between prosecution and amnesty.

Critics of the concept fail to note that staged authenticity is not authenticity but its opposite or negation. This error is illustrated referencing Ed Bruner’s reading of The Tourist in his recent book Culture on Tour.

Karl Popper’s equation of the closed society with tribalism is reviewed and modified. The German origins of the anthropological
concept of culture and its related ideas of the folk culture and cultural relativism are explored. The vicissitudes of the
idea of The Folk and its swing from Right to Left are related to contemporary neo-primitivism. The open society and high culture
are defended.

Any settling of scores about the state and role of intellectuals in the west has to factor in the function of Latin American
writers and the subset of pseudo-intellectuals called “Latin Americanists” of the second half of the twentieth century. The
score is not even, since the university-bound misrepresent the actual development of intellectual thought in the southern
hemisphere. The ideas and ubiquity of Mario Vargas Llosa are a necessary point of departure to calibrate properly the real
importance of those views.

This essay examines the viability of a publically held, articulated, and enacted bioethic in America's democratic regime.
The essay takes the writings of several thinkers associated with the President's Council on Bioethics as its point of departure.
The essay draws attention to some of the enduring moral, political, religious, and intellectual currents inherent in American
civil society that will continue to provide both resources for and obstacles to any publicly held bioethic in America.

Against the background of prophetic and rabbinic thought and action, where ideas of God and the good allowed morality and
spirituality to inform one another, Goodman considers the role of public intellectuals today. He cites the expanding electronic
media for lengthening the reach and broadening the franchise but narrowing the gaze and the audience of those intellectuals
who seek a public role and warns against oversimplification, shrillness, and the hazards of the echo chamber, where pigeonholing
and niche marketing shrink one’s audience to the already convinced.

Callahan is wrong to be pro-death, but he’s right to say that to live well—or for society to have a real future—we have to
care about more than mere life. Futile attempts to stop the pursuit of extreme personal prolongevity are contrary to our rights-based
way of life. It’s also contrary to human love and dignity to regard the old as a threat.
