Making Decisions About Tube Feeding for Severely Demented Patients at the End of Life: Clinical, Legal, and Ethical Considerations
Caregivers and family members are forced to deal with questions about tube feeding at the end of life for hundreds of thousands of patients suffering from severe dementia every year. But decisions about accepting or forgoing artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) tend to be made in haste, late in the game, without benefit of full information. Oftentimes, this leads to increased patient suffering and the inefficient use of medical resources. Sur…

Advertising on Cable Television in the Presidential Primaries: Something to Look For in '92
The cost of running presidential primary campaigns has increased dramatically since the primary replaced the party convention as the preferred method of presidential candidate selection. Much of this well documented rise in campaign spending has been attributed to the increased use of televised political advertising. Today, political parties have been supplanted by the media as the most prominent link between the voter and the election process. I…
Competing Approaches to the Study of American Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations
The development of theory in the study of American federalism and intergovernmental relations has long been marked by divergent approaches. This article reviews the literature produced by five "schools" within the field: (1) dual federalism, (2) cooperative federalism, (3) pragmatic federalism, (4) noncentralized federalism, and (5) nation-centered federalism. As different as these approaches are, scholarly work in this field has made only sparin…
