Abstract:

This article aims to 1) explore how retired academics experienced work-to-retirement transition and 2) offer insights that can be applied in addressing its potential opportunities and challenges. Toward this end, we conducted face-to-face interviews with retirees (n=7) from a comprehensive private university in Manila, Philippines. The descriptive phenomenological method surfaced a general psychological meaning structure depicting the participants' collective work experiences to retirement transition. Moreover, it identified three distinct but interrelated elements of the retirement phenomenon

Abstract:

In this Article, Professor Waggoner, newly retired, provides a retrospective on his career in law reform. He was inspired to write the Article by a number of articles by law professors explaining why they write. He contrasts law-reform work with law-review writing, pointing out that the work product of a law-reform reporter is directed to duly constituted law-making authorities. He notes that before getting into the law-reform business, he had authored or co-authored law review articles that advocated reform, but he also notes that those articles did not move the law a whit. The articles did,

Abstract:

Plant diseases can be traced back almost as far as recorded history. Numerous ancient writings describe plagues and blasts destroying crops and modern civilization still faces many plant disease challenges. Plant pathology has its roots in botany and notable scientists such as Tillet, Prevost, and deBary already had concluded microscopic organisms could cause plant diseases before Robert Koch established the rules of proof of pathogenicity with sheep anthrax. Plant pathologists can be credited with helping improve crop yields and food production throughout the world. However, at a time when th

Abstract:

Introduction: Our current obsession with the lives of others “Biography—that is to say, our creative and non-fictional output devoted to recording and interpreting real lives—has enjoyed an extraordinary renaissance in recent years,” writes Nigel Hamilton in Biography: A Brief History (1). Ian Donaldson agrees that biography is back in fashion: “Once neglected within the academy and relegated to the dustier recesses of public bookstores, biography has made a notable return over recent years, emerging, somewhat surprisingly, as a new cultural phenomenon, and a new academic adventure” (23).

Abstract:

Single response scenario based multiple choice questions (SBMCQs) provide description of authentic situation, contextualizes learning and enhances critical approach. A good quality SBMCQs requires expertise to frame. It was observed that the items written by medical experts who were not trained, lacked quality in the constructed item. As the quality of items is a cause of concern for absolute and relative criteria examinations therefore faculty development programs aimed in improving item writing skills have become a need of the hour. Item analysis (statistical analysis) of MCQs is lesser know

Abstract:

Are male porn stars full-fledged citizens? Recent political developments make this question more than rhetorical. The Bush Justice Department, led by Attorney General John Ashcroft, has targeted the porn industry, beginning with its prosecution of Extreme Associates. More recently, the President requested an increase in the FBI’s 2005 budget for prosecuting obscenity, one of the few budget increases for the Bureau outside of its anti-terrorism program (Schmitt A1). To be sure, the concept of “citizen” is itself vexed. Citizenship, when obtained or granted, ostensibly legitimates a subject and

Abstract:

Canto 71 concludes the most concentrated section of cantos dealing with American history. It is the last canto of the Adams section, the last of Cantos LII-LXXI, and the last of the “middle cantos” written in 1930-39 (31-71). Structurally, its mission is to round off, not only John Adams’s life narrative as presented in cantos 62-71, but also a whole period of Pound’s life in which he had been absorbed by American presidents and revolutionary history. As we know, Pound did not return to the subject, 71 was his farewell to this theme of interest. By using the same poetic method for Adams in 71

Abstract In 1970, Erikson ended his “all too extroverted years” of teaching, writing, and traveling.1 He was 68 years old, had completed a lifetime of clinical work and writing, and had just retired from his professorship at Harvard. Against the backdrop of the 1960s with its various tensions, Erikson felt a resurgence of concern about humanity’s direction and eventual end. He hoped in the fundamental goodness of humans but feared that the species would soon destroy itself. Since 1965, he had written about the dangers of violence in a nuclear age. He now began a period of life fully beyond ins

Abstract By now, the story is well known: reeling from being denounced as “box-office poison” by Harry Brandt, president of the Independent Theater Owners of America, Hepburn retreated to her parents’ house in Connecticut, where, nearing 30, she feared her movie career was over. She continued to seek the part of Scarlett O’Hara, but would get nowhere on that front. Suddenly, play- wright Philip Barry, whose earlier Broadway hits (1923’s You and I and 1928’s Holiday) had only led to a string of failures, appeared with the rough idea for two different plays. The first, about a suicidal diplomat,
