A New Lease on Life: Landlords, Tenants, and Immigrants in Ireland and Canada.

In Part 1 Wilson reconstructs the family circumstances and estate management of two landlords, Stephen Moore, third earl of Mount Cashell, and Major Robert Perceval Maxwell. Each owned several estates in Ireland and the estate known as Amherst Island in Ontario. She examines how the management of these estates changed over time and highlights the differences between management in the north and south of Ireland, particularly in Counties Down, Antrim, and Cork. She looks at the form the landlord-tenant relationship took in the New World to determine whether tenancy arrangements in the New World offered landlords an opportunity to start afresh or, instead, were influenced by the traditions and financial circumstances of their Irish estates. The second part of the study follows more than one hundred tenant families who, between 1820 and 1860, migrated from the Ards Peninsula in County Down to Amherst Island, where they rented land from Mount Cashell and, later, from Maxwell. Wilson reveals what life was like in the United Parish of St Andrews, why families emigrated and rented on Amherst Island, and what it meant socially and economically to be a tenant in the New World, where most farmers were freeholders. Wilson sets her study firmly in the framework of British, Irish, and American writing on land tenure, and in this comparative context opens the discussion of tenancy among Canadians more widely than anyone has done heretofore. She concludes that both landlords and tenants were more successful in the New World. Wealth and land ownership might be slow in materializing, but the opportunity, the choices, and the attainment of security were all greater than they had been in Ireland.

Still an Open Door? U.S. Immigration Policy and the American Economy

The authors of this volume examine the relative merits of immigration to the United States. In particular they attempt to provide answers to two basic questions concerning immigration: Do immigrants hurt or help us economically? And have large numbers of immigrants enhanced our economic well-being or taken jobs from American workers and lowered our standard of living and will this continue to be the case? Stephen Moore argues that immigrants always have been and will continue to be good for our economy. Vernon Briggs warns that unlike in earlier times immigrants arriving today have and will continue to have adverse effects on our economy mostly because our industrial and occupational patterns have changed dramatically since the early part of the century.

The Daybreak Boys: Essays on the Literature of the Beat Generation.

Who howled ... and were dragged off the roof waving genitals and manuscriptsAllen Ginsberg, HowlBeat. A single-word synthesis describing this group of disaffected heroes of the subculture who used the language of the body, as well as of the soul, in their writing. These questers for a new vision, journeying through the inner and outer conflicts of their disparate, though related, lives by experimenting with new modes of transcendence, new styles of writing, and new methods of surviving, paved the way for a new generation of writers by breeching taboos; by exposing their problems, their nightmares, and their fears in print; by shocking the safe, insipid culture of the fifties. They created a movementthe Beat Generation with their revolution of the spirit and their anthem of Go.In these critical essays Gregory takes the reader on a journey through the literature of the Beat Generation: a journey encompassing that common ethos of Beat literaturethe passage from darkness to light, from fragmented being toward wholeness, from Beat to Beatific. In his introduction, provides a brief history of this literary and cultural phenomenon and establishes the basis of these authors right to be called a generation. He examines what sets the Beats apart from other writers of the postwar period, showing which qualities of the works of these dissimilar authors formed the nexus of a movement. He also discusses the effect they had on a very unaware and cautious public.Stephenson then provides original in-depth examinations of the writings of eight Beat authors and develops new perspectives on their work. He travels through Jack Kerouac s Duluoz Legend. following Kerouac s quests for identity, community, and spiritual knowledge. He examines Allen Ginsberg s use of transcendence in Howl, discovers the Gnostic vision in William S. Burroughs fiction, and studies the mythic, visionary power of Lawrence Ferlinghetti s poetry. also provides oneof the first detailed examinations of the writings of lesser-known Beat authors: John Clellon Holmes. Gregory Corso, Richard Farina, and Michael McClure. He explores the myth and the mystery of the literary legend of Neal Cassady. And in the conclusion integrates the common traits of the Beat writers their use of primitivism, shamanism, myth and magic, spontaneity, and improvisation, all of which led them to a new idiom of consciousness and to the expansion of the parameters of American literature.Carolyn Cassady, in the foreword to s chapbook on her husband Neal, has stated that Stephenson s concise insights illuminate with exceptional clarity the complex dualistic nature Cassady wrestled with throughout his lifeboth real and fictional. Burroughs, commenting on s essay on him, has said, The precise parallels with my own lines of thought, independently arrived at, are striking. And Ferlinghetti has called the essay on Ginsberg s Howl, excellent. Stephen Moore, in his review of the Cassady essay in The Kerouac Connection, refers to Stephenson s growing reputation as one of the best Beat critics writing today.

The 1991 State and Local Fiscal Crisis

EVERY DECADE or so the state and local government sector begins to behave strangely. Either the aggregate budget surplus gets very high, as it did on three occasions in the 1970s and 1980s, or very low, as it has recently. Although a low aggregate budget surplus is not the worst of national tragedies, it can be the harbinger of other problems and the cause of painful budget cuts and tax increases. And for those worried about low national saving rates, a low or falling state and local budget surplus is another nail in the coffin. There is no dearth of potential explanations for the recent drop in the surplus. State and local politicians themselves have been quick to blame forces beyond their control-the recession, changes in federal grant policies (which were the main explanations for earlier budgetary swings), or federal mandates that states pick up new costs under medicaid and other federal programs. By contrast, economists who have looked at the present situation conclude that states and localities have caused their own problems. Stephen Moore has emphasized the rapid growth in state spending, and Steven Gold has pointed to states' unwillingness to raise taxes. I One goal of this paper is to answer some of these factual questionsWhat has caused the drop in the surplus? What role was played by external factors and by states' and localities' own policies? How damaging is the drop? I try to answer these questions with some simulations from a
