Former Congressman Norm Dicks, a one-time legislative assistant to Senator Warren Magnuson, talks about how the legislation for lowering the voting age came to be drafted. Dicks discusses the dilemma between drafting is as a stand-alone constitutional amendment or as an amendment to the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He discusses some of the objections that civil rights leaders expressed about its inclusion in the VRA, its quick passage through Congress, and the Supreme Court's negative decision about its constitutionality.
At Multiamory, we generally discourage people from building their relationships on a basis of strict, primary-secondary hierarchy. However, primary-secondary relationships are still very common in the polyamorous community. All three of us have engaged in these kind of relationships at one point or another, for better or worse. In this episode, we talk about the experience of being a secondary partner, and we give our advice to secondaries for crafting relationships that will keep them safe, happy, and sane. - Multiamory Podcast Website
In the second segment of his interview, Congressman Norm Dicks discusses the roles played by Senators Edward Kennedy, Warren Magnuson, Mike Mansfield, and Jennings Randolph in getting legislation to lower the voting age passed through Congress, as well as the bipartisan support of Republican members of Congress.

This program concentrates chiefly on racial prejudice as exhibited in South African and the United States. The panelists consider topics which include: How does race prejudice begin? Can it be justified? Are apartheid and other forms of racial segregation defensible? What role does education play in removing the causes of prejudice? What are the prospects for the end of prejudice, and how do individuals from different parts of the world view the current situations? Participants: Nii Tettah Quao, Ghana; Constantinos Fliakos, Greece; Marita Wessels, Union of South Africa; Cora Brooks, United States.
Delegates from Australia, the Union of South Africa, and the Gold Coast discuss the problems of education both in the United States and abroad. Each of the delegates to the forum was the guest of a school during his twelve-week stay, and during that time, each had a good opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the American school system. One of the students attended a private school here, while the other two attended public schools. Like the blind men who "see" the elephant with their hands, and then attempt to describe it, each of the three has a somewhat different impression of school life here. However, each of the schools which they have attended seems rather typical of one trend or another in American education. In discussing education in this country, they deal with, among other problems, the question of objective as opposed to essay-type examinations, private and public schools, and the differences between the standards in wealthy and less prosperous communities. Both of the delegates from Africa seemed to feel that, while American students are fairly well-versed on the history and problems of Europe, they seem to know comparatively little about other sections of the world. The exchanges between the delegates from the Union of South Africa and the Gold Coast concerning segregation are interesting. Since two of the participants are from the English Commonwealth, it was inevitable that there should be examination of the educational problems growing out of colonial rule.
During this hour-long program, NET continues its examination of the civil rights issue by presenting two separately produced half-hour segments which probe the attitudes of white southerners whose views on segregation are at opposite ends of a spectrum. Part I "The Southern Conservative," offers interviews with a cross-section of pro-segregationists, while Part II, "The Southern Liberal," features interviews with a number of southerners who favor integration.

Scientists routinely make causal inferences – whether implicit or explicit – about correlations generated from statistical analyses of experimental and observational data. However, while theorized causes are usually directionally specific, correlations are inherently symmetric or directionally ambiguous. Moreover, multiple causal structures can produce equivalent correlational results, posing significant threats to the validity of statistical inferences.
Fortunately, advances from the “causal revolution” in science and statistics have provided us with powerful tools, such as potential outcomes and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), to better understand causes and effects. This talk will focus on how DAGs can help us “assume in public” more effectively. By introducing DAGs early in the research workflow and adhering to simple rules for their use, we can formalize the causal assumptions underlying our theories and statistical models, thereby enhancing transparency and reducing avoidable biases in causal estimation.
The presentation will cover the four foundational structures in causal systems, as represented in DAGs: complete independence, pipes, forks, and colliders. Real-world and simulated examples – drawn from the speaker’s blog posts – will illustrate key concepts, such as d-separation, “good and bad controls,” and adjustment sets. Finally, the talk will introduce tools and resources to help researchers more confidently and effectively navigate the assumptions and challenges of causal inference.

When Britain applied for membership in the Common Market, the move represented a dramatic change in Britain's traditional concept of world politics. This program explores the implications of this reversal, some of the problems attendant on British membership, and the reactions of some British leaders to the move. All six of the Common Market nations publicly welcomed the British application for membership. Negotiations began in 1961, with teams of experts seeking solutions to the problems the application raised. The major problem arose from Britain's imperial past. As the Empire evolved into the present Commonwealth, close and mutually beneficial trading patterns were established between Britain and the Commonwealth nations. The Imperial (or Commonwealth) Preference system permits member countries to sell their goods to Britain at either very low duties or without duties at all. Should Britain simply join the Common Market under present circumstances, she would have to apply the Common Market's external tariff to Commonwealth imports --a situation that would be displeasing to all parts of the Commonwealth. Another area of British concern is that of the economic future of Britain's EFTA partners. And from the British point of view, the political implications of Common Market membership raise another question. The member nations' sovereign power to make decisions, in certain instances, will be transferred to a supranational body. This loss of sovereignty, to some Britishers, presents a grave stumbling block.

History of the settlement of the western Canadian prairie lands, from pioneers in covered wagons to the booming wheat industry of the early 20th century. Shows that the prosperity brought by wheat built the western cities and led to rampant increases in production, when "wheat flowed like a golden river." The plowing of vast acreage without concern for soil conservation led to the disastrous collapse of the western agricultural economy. "Long years of intensive drought, coupled with a disastrous fall in prices, forced many Prairie farmers to board up their homes and seek work elsewhere. But the majority remained, hating to leave the land they had broken, often lacking the capital to make a fresh start. To these, the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, working through engineers and scientists on the experimental farms and stations, restored faith and morale. Conservation of moisture, development of new methods of farming and conversion of sub marginal land to other uses all helped to put these derelict farms once again on a working basis" (National Film Board of Canada catalog record http://onf-nfb.gc.ca/en/our-collection/?idfilm=18392).
"Here is the first photographic report on the robot bomb since the censorship was lifted. In this nine-minute capsule of buzz-bomb terror, 'V-1' brings to the screen in 16 mm sound-on-film a subject which will arouse its audiences to a vivid realization of the terror that life in London must be under the robot. 'V-1' includes spectacular shots of the bombs being destroyed in mid-air by anti-aircraft fire and by fighter planes." "Scenes include: robot bomb attacks which killed or injured 26,000 persons by September 30, 1944 and destroyed or damaged a million houses. There is one tremendous moment when, in one of the most sensational scenes of the war, a 'V-1' is caught on the wing by a British plane" (Business Screen December, 1944, No. 2, Vol. 6, p. 41).
