A Kineño’s Journey

A Kineño’s Journey

On September 20, 1988, the United States Senate unanimously confirmed Lauro F. Cavazos as the fourth Secretary of Education in President Ronald Reagan’s administration. A sixth-generation Texan and Kineño—a descendant of Mexican citizens who accepted work on Texas’s King Ranch in the 19th century—Cavazos was the first Hispanic appointed to a position in an American Presidential Cabinet. The story of Cavazos’s journey leading up to his cabinet appointment is a portrait of a life devoted to the principles of education. In 1954, Cavazos married Peggy Ann Murdock; the couple had ten children, all of whom were educated in public schools. To enhance their children’s education, the Cavazos traveled extensively, living out the principle that a holistic education includes exposure to others’ worldviews. During his service as Secretary of Education, Cavazos insisted that all children in America be educated to their fullest potential. A key tenet of Cavazos’s service was an emphasis on educating minority students—a passion Cavazos formed early on in his career, first as a faculty member at the Medical College of Virginia, then as a professor and Dean at the Tufts University School of Medicine, and later as President of Texas Tech University. Gene B. Preuss is an associate professor of history and Special Assistant to the President at the University of Houston-Downton. He is the author of “To Get a Better School System”: One Hundred Years of School Reform in Texas.

El gran reto del dise o organizacional, es la construcci n de una estructura y puestos de trabajo, flexibles, sencillos alineados con estrategia, los procesos, la cultura y el nivel de evoluci n de la organizaci n, con el fin de lograr los resultados y la productividad mediante la organizaci n del trabajo y la distribuci n adecuada de las cargas laborales. El dise o organizacional es un proceso, donde los gerentes toman decisiones, donde los miembros de la organizaci n ponen en pr ctica dicha estrategia. El dise o organizacional hace que los gerentes dirijan la vista en dos sentidos; hacia el interior de su organizaci n y hacia el exterior de su organizaci n. Siendo el dise o organizacional un conjunto de medios que maneja la organizaci n con el objeto de dividir el trabajo en diferentes tareas y lograr la coordinaci n efectiva de las mismas, puede realizarse el esfuerzo coordinado que lleve a la obtenci n de objetivos, definiendo las relaciones y aspectos m s o menos estables de la organizaci n.

Das Produkt aus der Zahl der vorhandenen Atome und der Zerfallskonstante (die der reziproken Halbwertszeit proportional ist) muB ja im stationiiren Zustand fiir jedes Glied den gleichen Wert haben. Daher ist die Gesamtaktivitiit eines kurzlebigen Gliedes einer Reihe (z. B. des Radon) im Prinzip ebensogut meBbar wie die Gesamtaktivitiit eines liinger- lebigen Gliedes derselben Reihe (z. B. des Radiums), mit dem es im radioaktiven Gleichgewicht steht, obwohl die vorhandene Gewichtsmenge so auBerordentlich viel kleiner sein kann. Voraussetzung ist nur, daB die Halbwertszeit nicht so klein ist, daB der Stoff dem Radiochemiker "zwischen den Fingern zerrinnt". Unter dieser Voraussetzung lassen sich in der Praxis die kurzlebigen Stoffe sogar leichter messen als die langlebigen Stoffe gleicher Gesamtaktivitiit. Je kleiner niimlich die Masse der Probe ist, desto vollstiindiger tritt die Strahlung aus der Probe aus und in das MeBgeriit ein. v Die von SODDY so klar zusammengefaBpen Verhiiltnisse haben dazu gefiihrt, daB radiochemische Methoden sich zur analytischen Bestimmung von natiirlichen Radioelementen mittlerer Halbwertszeit (z. B. des Radiums; genauer: des Radiumisotops der Uranreihe) als zweckmiiBig, zur analytischen Bestimmung von Radioelementen kurzer Halbwertszeit (z. R. des Poloniums) sogar als un- entbehrlich erwiesen haben. Zur Bestimmung langlebiger Radioelemente (z. B. des Urans) haben sich radiochemische Methoden nur in Sonderfiillen durch- gesetzt. Die Besprechung dieser Methoden zur Analyse natiirlich radioaktiver Stoffe ist in den entsprechenden Abschnitten des Kapitels IX durchgefiihrt.

In a captivating departure, Larry Watson, "a writer whose work is worthy of prizes" ("Los Angeles Times Book Review"), unveils a portrait of faith, obsession, and enduring love -- and a work of greater tenderness than anything he has yet written. "Laura" Love captures Paul Finley, in, of all places, his own bedroom -- literally waking him from his dreams. The night he discovers Laura Pettit standing at his windowsill, Paul is eleven years old, a boy naturally inclined toward seriousness, precociously adept at the art of watching the world without being watched. Laura is twenty-two, a fiercely passionate and independent poet already experiencing the first flickers of fame, a beautiful woman on the brink of seducing Paul's father. No matter; Paul is smitten. When she leaves him to rejoin the grown-ups' party downstairs, Laura issues Paul a wholly impossible command, one that will haunt and consume both of them for the rest of their lives: "Forget me." Laying bare the inner life of one man during the course of nearly four decades, Larry Watson delivers a riveting treatise on the excruciating power of love -- and two of the most remarkable characters in recent American literature. Infused with breathtaking pathos and delicate grace, "Laura" is an extraordinary triumph of the novelist's art.

How do men imagine women? In the poetry of Petrarch and his English successors-Wyatt, Donne, and Marvell-the male poet persistently imagines pursuing a woman, Laura, whom he pursues even as she continues to deny his affections. Critics have long held that, in objectifying Laura, these male-authored texts deny the imaginative, intellectual, and physical life of the woman they idealize. In Laura, Barbara L. Estrin counters this traditional view by focusing not on the generative powers of the male poet, but on the subjectivity of the imagined woman and the imaginative space of the poems she occupies. Through close readings of the Rime sparse and the works of Wyatt, Donne, and Marvell, Estrin uncovers three Lauras: Laura-Daphne, who denies sexuality; Laura-Eve, who returns the poet’s love; and Laura-Mercury, who reinvents her own life. Estrin claims that in these three guises Laura subverts both genre and gender, thereby introducing multiple desires into the many layers of the poems. Drawing upon genre and gender theories advanced by Jean-FranÇois Lyotard and Judith Butler to situate female desire in the poem’s framework, Estrin shows how genre and gender in the Petrarchan tradition work together to undermine the stability of these very concepts.Estrin’s Laura constitutes a fundamental reconceptualization of the Petrarchan tradition and contributes greatly to the postmodern reassessment of the Renaissance period. In its descriptions of how early modern poets formulate questions about sexuality, society and poetry, Laura will appeal to scholars of the English and Italian Renaissance, of gender studies, and of literary criticism and theory generally.
