The Youth of North America

The Youth of North America Fred Leebron (bio) Click for larger view View full resolution Photo by Osamu Kaneko [End Page 119] Walter had just concluded the first week of a two-week adult program he was leading in Barcelona when he and his colleagues, a woman in her midthirties and a man in his late thirties, both junior to him in every sense of the word, decided to take themselves out on the town. It had been an exhausting seven days of complaints and demands, and they figured they’d earned a night away from their group. It wasn’t an easy job, this task of glorified tour guide, and while Walter had created the “immersion” itinerary of cultural seminars and field trips, he was grateful to leave it to Pete and Carina to enact the details, although sometimes he sensed that they wondered if they even needed him at all. Really, he just wanted to get out to a bar and drink without interruption. Also, he was interested in the France-Germany game. They agreed to meet at eight pm at their three-star hotel, a venue they’d agonized over for months before finally signing the contract. When he and Pete had arrived that first day at the Splendido, after a dozen hours of travel, one of the participants had stepped right up, without a word of greeting, and said, “You know, the rooms are awfully small.” Then she informed them that some of the group had already kidnapped the desk clerk and were scavenging the floors for the largest available quarters. That was the type of group it was, and this was the type of hotel—not four stars, not two—borderline. Even the neighborhood could be characterized as open to interpretation, on the wrong side of the pedestrian boulevard, the hotel’s back to a steady commerce of pimps, prostitutes and dealers, its façade smiling toward the tacky glitz of the Rambla. Walter was first to the lobby—he hated to be late. He used to enjoy making people wait five or seven minutes and suffer a little respect and dependence and impatience, but eventually he came to understand that everyone’s time was valuable, everyone’s time was finite, and for the last ten years—maybe nearly thirteen, maybe this had dawned on him when he’d turned forty—he’d been more than punctual. He sat on a sturdy but austere couch in the middle salle—the first salle had no seating, the third salle was the oversized restaurant that provided only a cafeteria-style breakfast—and looked appraisingly at the patchy ceilings and the skeletal chandeliers and the mass-produced wall art. Three stars. He checked his watch. They still had four minutes. He’d give them eleven, and then he’d head out, because his other minor transformation was that he’d wait, but never for more than a fixed amount of time. Seven minutes on a Saturday night with a nine pm kickoff was fair enough. [End Page 120] Reflexively he felt in his windbreaker pocket for his cell phone. He had none—it was one of his perks as the director, to be able to escape the grid from time to time. There were others, too—he did no morning work, leaving that tedium to Pete and Carina (but he covered all the evenings, except for tonight), and he was not to be on the front line for complaints (ha to that), and they’d made sure to give him a room with a real desk—but the freedom from the cell phone was extraordinary. Rather than unnerving him, it gave him a weird peace of mind, as if nothing terrible could actually happen until they’d managed to find him. The electric glass doors opened on the staircase from the second floor, and out tripped Pete, wandering as if he had no definite assignation, pulling his phone from his hip pocket for the latest crucial news. “Hey, Walter,” he said in his trademark monotone. It was one of his careful affectations, never to appear riled or excited, and Walter kind of loved him for it. Walter could...

The Listening Heart: Reflections on the Foundations of Law

The Listening Heart: Reflections on the Foundations of Law HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI Mr President of the Federal Republic, Mr President of the Bundestag, Madam Chancellor, Madam President of the Bundesrat, Ladies and Gentlemen Members of the House, It is an honor and a joy for me to speak before this distinguished house, before the Parliament of my native Germany, that meets here as a democratically elected representation of the people, in order to work for the good of the Federal Republic of Germany. I should like to thank the President of the Bundestag both for his invitation to deliver this address and for the kind words of greeting and appreciation with which he has welcomed me. At this moment I turn to you, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, not least as your fellow-countryman who for all his life has been conscious of close links to his origins, and has followed the affairs of his native Germany with keen interest. But the invitation to give this address was extended to me as Pope, as the Bishop of Rome, who bears the highest responsibility for Catholic Christianity. In issuing this invitation you are acknowledging the role that the Holy See plays as a partner within the community of peoples and states. Setting out from this international responsibility that I hold, I should like to propose to you some thoughts on the foundations of a free state of law.© Copyright 2011—Libreria Editrice Vaticana. An address by His Holiness to the Bundestag, Berlin, 22 September 2011. arion 19.3 winter 2012 Allow me to begin my reflections on the foundations of law (Recht) with a brief story from sacred Scripture. In the First Book of Kings, it is recounted that God invited the young King Solomon, on his accession to the throne, to make a request. What will the young ruler ask for at this important moment? Success—wealth—long life—destruction of his enemies? He chooses none of these things. Instead, he asks for a listening heart so that he may govern God’s people , and discern between good and evil (1 Kgs 3:9). Through this story, the Bible wants to tell us what should ultimately matter for a politician. His fundamental criterion and the motivation for his work as a politician must not be success, and certainly not material gain. Politics must be a striving for justice, and hence it has to establish the fundamental preconditions for peace. Naturally a politician will seek success, without which he would have no opportunity for effective political action at all. Yet success is subordinated to the criterion of justice, to the will to do what is right, and to the understanding of what is right. Success can also be seductive and thus can open up the path towards the falsification of what is right, towards the destruction of justice. “Without justice—what else is the State but a great band of robbers?” as Saint Augustine once said. We Germans know from our own experience that these words are no empty spectre. We have seen how power became divorced from right, how power opposed right and crushed it, so that the State became an instrument for destroying right—a highly organized band of robbers, capable of threatening the whole world and driving it to the edge of the abyss. To serve right and to fight against the dominion of wrong is and remains the fundamental task of the politician. At a moment in history when man has acquired previously inconceivable power, this task takes on a particular urgency. Man can destroy the world. He can manipulate himself. He can, so to speak, make human beings and he can deny them their humanity. How do we recognize what is right? How can we discern between good and evil, between what is truly right and what may apthe listening heart 4 pear right? Even now, Solomon’s request remains the decisive issue facing politicians and politics today. For most of the matters that need to be regulated by law, the support of the majority can serve as a sufficient criterion. Yet it is evident that for the fundamental issues of law, in which the...

A Certain Impossible Possibility of Saying the Event

Thank you. I assure you that what I’m going to say will be much more unequipped and exposed thanGadSoussana’s beautiful lecture.Beforebabbling a few words, I’d like to join in the thanks already expressed and tell Phyllis Lambert and all our hosts how grateful I am for the hospitalitywith which they’ve honored me. We settled on very little in advance, but we did agree that I’d try to say a few words after Gad Soussana, that I’d then turn the floor over to Alexis Nouss, andwould pick up afterwards in a somewhat more enduring way. I will try to carry through my task in the first part of this promised talk by saying a few very simple things. It is worth recalling that an event implies surprise, exposure, the unanticipatable, and we at least agreed to one thing between ourselves and that was that the title for this session, for this discussion, would be chosen by my friends sitting here beside me. I take this opportunity to say that it was on account of friendship that I thought I should accept to expose myself here in this way, friendship not only for those who are sitting here beside me but for all my friends from Quebec; some, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, are here today in the audience and to them I address a word of greeting. I wanted this open-ended and, to a large degree, improvised gathering to be placed in this way under the heading of an event of friendship. This presupposes friendship, of course, but also surprise and the unanticipatable. It was understood that Gad Soussana and Alexis Nouss would choose the title and that I would try as well as I could to present not answers but some improvised remarks. Obviously, if there is an event, it must never be something that is predicted or planned, or even really decided upon.

Bernard Shaw's Henry Higgins: A Classic Aspergen

Bernard Shaw's Henry Higgins: A Classic Aspergen Rodelle Weintraub Newark, Delaware THE CHARACTER Henry Higgins in Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion (1912) has presented directors and audiences with a dilemma. Shaw insisted that Higgins was not a romantic leading man, one with whom any romantic attachment with Eliza Doolittle was absurd. He described Higgins in a cable to Sally Luther1 as a "middle-aged bully" who was "indifferent to young women on the ground that they had an irresistible rival in his mother...."2 His Higgins is not only a middle-aged bully but a middle-aged adolescent who displays bad manners, lurches about the stage, jingles coins in his pockets, has temper tantrums, and has a childlike attachment to his mother and his housekeeper. Yet, from its first production, most directors have been loathe to accept Shaw's Higgins , now more commonly known to audiences as the phonetics expert in the musical adaptation My Fair Lady, and have tried to replace him with a romantic leading man. Actor-manager H. Beerbohm Tree, the first Henry Higgins, could not imagine himself as the misfit that Shaw had constructed. Slightly altering the ending without altering the dialogue, Tree offered flowers to the leading lady, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, at the close of the play but before the curtain fell. Shaw was furious, refusing to attend any performances after the opening night, with the exception of the one hundredth performance. After seeing it, he "cursed the whole enterprise and bade the delinquents farewell for ever." Still when writing the film script in 1938 he could not prevent the ambiguous directorial ending in which Higgins, played by the debonair actor-director Leslie Howard, listens to his recording of Eliza Doolittle's voice as she enters his study and repeats the words herself. With a smug look on his face, with no word of greeting and without turning to face her, he says: "Eliza, where the devil are my slippers?"3 The scene is repeated in My Fair Lady. 388 WEINTRAUB : SHAW Jackie Maxwell, in her 2004 Shaw Festival Theatre production, gave the audience a Higgins that might have pleased Shaw. Rather than being a handsome, sexy hero, Higgins was a balding, middle-aged eccentric linguist utterly lacking in social skills. Without realizing it, she and actor Jim Mezon had portrayed Higgins as an adult Aspergen.4 When asked,5 Ms. Maxwell said that she had not intentionally directed Higgins as an Aspergen, and, in fact, did not know what an Aspergen is. Until relatively recently she was not alone. In March 1912, Bernard Shaw began his play Pygmalion, completed in June 1912. Not until 1944 did the Viennese pediatrician Hans Asperger describe a form of high-functioning autism that now bears his name: Asperger's Syndrome. His work was forgotten and did not come back into the literature until 1981.6 An astute observer of human behavior, Shaw gives us a protagonist, Henry Higgins, who could now be described as a textbook example of an Aspergen.7 According to DSM-PV Diagnostic Criteria for Asperger's Disorder and Gillberg's Criteria for Asperger's Disorder, an Aspergen has difficulties in social interaction, lacks empathy, or has difficulties with it, has trouble with social role-taking and has unusual responses to the environment similar to those in autism. Cognitive and communicative development are within normal range and may be quite advanced, which is one of the distinguishing characteristics from classic autism, and verbal skills are usually strong. Geniuses such as Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, and Bill Gates have been suspected of being Aspergens.8 Idiosyncratic interests are common and may concentrate in unusual subjects or highly circumscribed areas, such as train schedules , the weather, lighthouses, insects, snakes, even deep-fry cookers and telegraph pole insulators. Aspergens often lack common sense. They may be socially aware but display inappropriate reciprocal interaction , and are often clumsy, awkward and fidgety. It is not uncommon for an Aspergen to be incorrectly diagnosed as Attention Deficit (and Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD, ADHD) or Obsessive-Compulsion Disorder (OCD). Aspergens are usually male and are often interested in mechanical objects, especially things that spin. Digby Tantam, in "Asperger syndrome in Adulthood," lists...

Doors of Perception: Power and Representation in Bali

The sign marking the entrance to the Balinese region called Klungkung would probably not strike any foreign visitor as especially worthy of note. Taking for granted such public declarations of identity and welcome, we barely register the visual signals that adorn them even in our own society: the panoply of state birds and flowers that make up totemisme aujourd'hui in what is sometimes referred to as our late capitalist society. So it could hardly be expected that anyone would pay attention to the emblem on the pentagonal sign posted by the side of the road at each of Klungkung's borders (see Figure 1). And what, after all, would there be to notice? Words of greeting (selamat datang, welcome, is inscribed on the side facing entrants; selamat jalan, goodbye, on the reverse), the information that this is Klungkung, and a cluster of images: an enormous stalk of rice and another of cotton curved around a representation of an imposing portal, at the entrance to which is juxtaposed the wavy blade of a kris with five curves in it. Above the portal is a star; below it four leaves, as if it rested upon a lotus pad. Although Klungkung is a rice-growing region famous for its textiles, the same nature symbols could denote many regions in Indonesia, and indeed they not only appear on similar signs elsewhere in Bali but form part of Indonesia's national emblem. Nor does the kris-although it is important-distinguish Klungkung from other places; any former kingdom in the entire Malay archipelago could represent itself with one of those weapons, simultaneously heirlooms, regalia, and magical objects. The door, its importance marked by its place as the centerpiece of the sign, is another matter. Portals like this one are typically found between the forecourt and the inner reaches of Balinese temples or royal palaces. But anyone from Klungkung would know this portal immediately as a

The Present Situation

THE genesis of this address is to be found in the many addresses that for more years than some of us care to admit have been delivered before assembled teachers of languages. The discussion of specific classroom problems and the presentation of the results of learned investigation are not here included. The addresses referred to are, then, those dealing with the more general aspects of the teaching and study of foreign languages. The makers of these addresses fall easily into two groups, the first composed of such persons as deans, presidents, superintendents, and teachers of subjects not linguistic; the second is made up of ourselves. Of the first group not much need be said, for, from the very nature of the case, their remarks are often perfunctory, being confined to words of greeting and polite expressions of interest and goodwill. On occasions like the present we do not expect to hear adverse criticism from such as they. Indeed, at times they are over-generous. Of the second group, ourselves, more is to be said. One impression that is left by the addresses of the second group is that there are many, too many, Jeremiahs among us. If this is not literally true, at least too many elect to assume this role when they arise to address their fellow teachers. The significance of the citation at the head of this paper is now evident and should be borne in mind as the theme develops. Full many an address

THE NEED OF MEDICAL COOPERATION IN LABORATORY WORK.ADDRESS OF CHAIRMAN OF THE SECTION ON PATHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY, AT THE FIFTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AT ATLANTIC CITY, JUNE, 1907.

In accordance with past precedent and the dictates of our program, it is my privilege to say a few words of greeting, and I take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the honor accorded me in the selection as chairman of this Section.

To those who have labored for the Section's welfare it should be a source of
