Professor Weaver explains how we need to look at how the Rule Against Perpetuities is taught and how it may be taught more successfully. The Rule presents its greatest challenge to those who should know it best-law professors. If law professors can teach the Rule to the future judges, lawyers, and legislators who deal daily with the Rule, then mistakes will not be made and reform will succeed. In this essay, Professor Weaver presents a method that he has developed for teaching the Rule. While some of it is no more than a general application of normal law school methods, Professor Weaver thinks it sufficiently different-because it treats the Rule-to deserve full exposition.

Catherine May describes the ongoing debate between the Republican-dominated Congress and the Johnson administration over Federal aid to education.

As one of the largest producers and consumers of nonfuel minerals, the United States greatly influences mineral markets and trade worldwide. Historically, the country has followed a policy of relatively free trade in mineral commodities, encouraging consumers to search abroad for low-cost supplies, and producers to sell wherever the price is highest. Of course, there are exceptions, but overall public policy favors trade, allowing huge quantities of minerals to flow across the country's borders. In recent years, particularly as worldwide recession and depressed commodity markets have battered domestic mineral producers, a growing number of voices have called for a change in this policy, for more protection and greater domestic self sufficiency. Should such a change occur on a significant scale, it would have obvious, and serious, implications for every major mineral producing and consuming country. Even the modest movements toward protection over the last few years clearly demonstrate the potential of such a change to disrupt the existing economic and political relations among nations.

Freedom of Information has been the subject of much current debate in Canada, but is not new to the world. The United States enacted their first Act, in 1966,1 and amendments in 1974 finally gave the Act some worthwhile effect. 2 Sweden has had Freedom of Information legislation for over two hundred years. The experience of these two countries has been very favourable, but Canada refuses to learn from that experience. There is still a fear in the governments of Canada that openness in government would lead to problems, the ultimate fear being that the party in power will no longer be in power after the passage of effective Freedom of Information legislation. Perhaps that should indicate something in itself. In the United States, after the 1974 amendments, the reaction of the public was overwhelming, and the government, becoming less suspicious of its use, has found that it doesn't discredit executive branch employees. Things now being released south of the border include CIA and FBI files on individuals, the Department of Army Report on My Lai, meat inspection reports showing that products are unwholesome, nursing home reports, anti-trust files relating to merger clearances, correspondence with auto manufacturers on defect investigations, and consumer test reports.

Government enforcement of equal opportunity in all housing, or in all housing connected with the various federal programs discussed in this note, would virtually eliminate the present fear among many whites that the presence of Negroes in the community hurts property values. Even if there were any basis to such a fear, the fact that Negroes had an easily enforceable right to purchase property in all neighborhoods would tend to prevent such price devaluation since the actual presence of Negroes in more and more areas would eventually make all white neighborhoods non-existent. Moreover,the fact that all, or the vast majority of, mortgage-lending institutions, builders and homeowners would be compelled to observe nondiscrimination in housing would foreclose any possible loss of business to the individual institutions, builders, and home owners since there would be no alternative source of supply. Now, before the adoption of these nondiscrimination requirements, the imposition of such requirements may well seem a frightening and dangerous exercise of governmental power in derogation of individual rights. But, as was the case with the accommodations and employment sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, after passage, people will look back and realize that the fears were exaggerated and that the overall effect of the legislation is highly beneficial to the country's welfare.

Popularity and reaction functions as the main relationships between the economic and political sectors are theoretically derived and empirically estimated with quarterly data for the U.S. One of the purposes is to endogenize government behavior in macro-econometric models. Unemploymentj inflation (negatively) and the growth of consumption (positively) influence presidential popularity. The presidents who fear not to be reelected use in turn their policy instruments (public expenditures and jobs) to increase their popularity. There is also some indication that the presidents pursue ideological goals when they are confident to win the upcoming election.

This paper reports a seven-year study of cesarean section practices at the Queen of Angels Hospital, Los Angeles, California. Indications for this procedure are listed in detail and an attempt is made to explain its increasing frequency. Practicing physicians were interviewed and testimony seemed to indicate, as was suspected, that fear of malpractice suits was one of the reasons for cesarean section. The conventional wisdom of "once a section always a section" is questioned with regard to an increasing number of trials of labor and vaginal deliveries, when they are considered feasible and safe. The federal government is manifesting serious interest in this increased number of operative deliveries in the light of cost effectiveness.

Over the past two decades Latin America, due to both political and economic considerations, has been endeavouring to establish intensive cooperative relations with the European Community. For a variety of reasons this objective has so far only been achieved in part. The Falklands/Malvinas conflict subjected these relations to a serious strain, the results of which cannot as yet be estimated. Another factor, in the longer term, is the European Community's southward enlargement. Latin American assessments of the effects of this diverge: a fear of serious disadvantages to trade on the one hand is matched on the other by the hope that Spain and Portugal will become champions of Latin American interests in the European Community.
