A reply to Janet A. Weiss's, John Coons's, & Jeffrey R. Henig's comments on Godwin et al's "Liberal Equity in Education: A Comparison of Choice Options" (all, 1998) maintains that a program using a graduated voucher system with low-income quotas for choice schools will help to alleviate inequalities of opportunity, diversity, & rights of lower-income families. It is agreed that more research is needed, but contended that the necessary data will only be obtained by instituting a pilot program that includes sectarian schools & does not restrict vouchers. Further, suggested integration requirements for schools accepting vouchers would prevent the greater class & ethnic segregation predicted by school choice opponents & would enhance diversity, which includes an expansion of the range of groups that support differing worldviews. It is not suggested that the state's role would increase governmental power, but simply that the national government should protect minority viewpoints often denied at the local level. The importance of moral self-perfection in promoting tolerance is discussed. 6 References. J. Lindroth

This study investigated the sleep of 28 young blind and 22 sighted children aged 4–36 months whose parents completed the Sleep Habits Questionnaire.

In addition, the blind children went to sleep later at night, were awake longer during the night, and had less sleep time.

Prototypes of motorized-focus telescopes (MFTs) and of a 4X auto-focus telescope (AFT) were constructed, and 22 users of hand-focus telescopes (HFTs) were trained to use them for near-distance and intermediate-distance tasks. Despite the lack of differences in performance with the MFT, AFT, and HFT, the subjects' ratings on 9 of 10 aspects of telescope performance were significantly higher for the AFT and MFT than for the HFT.

Passant pour la première fois en Alsace, le festival itinérant Caravane des quartiers s'est installé du 22 au 26 mai 1996 à Colmar, au cœur de la Zup Europe. Les années antérieures, il se déplaçait essentiellement sur l'axe Paris-Lyon-Marseille, avec des excursions dans le Nord (Lille, Condé-sur-l'Escaut, Dunkerque) ou le Sud-Est (Toulouse, Albi), dans des quartiers où les gens avaient déjà une certaine idée de la fête populaire et interculturelle.

Stefan Zweig, com certeza não ficou sabendo antes de sua morte por suicídio a 22 de fevereiro de 1942 en Petropólis (Brasil), da dimensão do holocausto na Europa. Há registros, no entanto, de que êle estava informado sobre a perseguição sofrida pelos judeus e sobretudo sobre os pogroms ocorridos na Alemanha e na Austria. Stefan Zweig todavia não se manifestou publicamente sobre o assunto. Tal silêncio se explica por duas razões principais.

Die Studie wertet die akzeptierende Jugendarbeit in drei Jugendcliquen in Bremen mit Jugendlichen im Alter zwischen 15 und 22 Jahren aus. Es zeigt sich, daß nur die konkrete Hinwendung zu den konkreten Lebens- und Alltagsbedingungen der Jugendlichen, das Ernstnehmen ihrer Erfahrungen, Probleme und Bedürfnisse sowie ihrer "Muster" wesentliche Voraussetzungen für den Kontakt mit ihnen darstellt. Basierend auf dieser Grundeinsicht bildeten sich folgende Handlungsorientierungen und Handlungsansätze heraus: Jugendarbeit als Beziehungsarbeit begreifen und situative Einzelgespräche nutzen. Auf den Jugendlichen reagieren und ihn nicht "hinleiten". Bei Sanktionen sich persönlich verhalten und nicht pädagogisch oder institutionszentriert. Hinweise auf die existentiellen Gefahren ihrer Lebensweise geben. Grenzziehung in Grenzsituationen, in denen man persönlich seelisch oder körperlich verletzt wird bzw. instrumentalisiert werden soll. Primär- und Sekundärquellen wurden verwertet. (ICB)

Ist die Unterzeichnung des Friedensabkommens über das südwestliche Afrika in New York vom 22. Dezember 1988 der Anfang einer neuen Ära der Beziehungen im südlichen Afrika oder setzt sich die Politik der Apartheid weiter durch? Der Artikel befaßt sich mit der Politik Südafrikas nach der Unabhängigkeit Namibias. Nach dem südafrikanischen Rückzug aus Namibia wächst unter der Präsidentschaft F. W. de Klerks die Bereitschaft, die Politik der Apartheid zu beenden. Der Dialog zwischen dem ANC, unter ihrem politischen Führer Nelson Mandela, und F. W. de Klerk verweist auf einen Versuch der Annäherung. Der internationale Druck verstärkt die Politik der Entspannung. Die Gefahr einer gewaltvollen Auseinandersetzung ist jedoch stets gegenwärtig, da das Sicherheitssystem, ehemals ein Instrument der Apartheid, weiter besteht. (AuD-Hfs)
