The Rashomon Effect and Communication
How has a film released in Tokyo in 1950 been understood as providing an important explanatory paradigm for complexity? Why has this paradigm moved beyond the screen, and beyond film studies, to a number of other intellectual fields, such as communication, psychology, anthropology, sociology, epistemology, and legal studies? All of these disciplines must address and interpret complex and unstable decision-making environments, in which incomplete …

Institutions and Equilibrium in the United States Supreme Court
Over the last decade the scholarship on judicial politics has increasingly emphasized the strategic aspects of decision making in the United States Supreme Court. This scholarship, however, has struggled with two significant limitations-the restriction to unidimensional policy spaces and the assumption of binary comparisons of alternatives. These two assumptions have the advantage of implying stable, predictable outcomes, but lack a sound theoret…
A 1500-year record of temperature and glacial response inferred from varved Iceberg Lake, southcentral Alaska
We present a varve thickness chronology from glacier-dammed Iceberg Lake in the southern Alaska icefields. Radiogenic evidence confirms that laminations are annual and record continuous sediment deposition from A.D. 442 to A.D. 1998. Varve thickness is positively correlated with Northern Hemisphere temperature trends, and more strongly with a local, ∼600 yr long tree ring width chronology. Varve thickness increases in warm summers because of high…

Patrick Blackett in India: Military consultant and scientific intervenor, 1947-72. Part one
Invited to lunch at the Nehru home in January 1947, Patrick Blackett was seated beside the acting Prime Minister. Jawaharlal Nehru knew of Blackett's experience in war and military affairs, and asked him how long it would take ‘to Indianize the military’, meaning both its command structure and its weapons production and supply. He was not yet the Prime Minister and India was not yet an independent nation. Blackett's reply was a challenging one, o…
Patrick Blackett in India: Military Consultant and Scientific Intervenor, 1947–72. Part Two
Patrick Blackett's role as a military consultant to India was described in Part One of this article. But Blackett was and is best known in India as an intervenor in scientific affairs and as an adviser to the research system. Here, Part Two shows how he came to understand the political economy of science, specifically the political limits of the influence of the scientific community and the way that very scarce economic resources were (or were no…

Simulating Magnetic Susceptibility Profiles in Loess as an Aid in Quantifying Rates of Dust Deposition and Pedogenic Development
Magnetic susceptibility profiles χ( z ) in loess sequences reflect a combination of two climatically modulated processes: dust deposition and pedogenic development. Prominent soils with high χ values, for example, likely reflect periods of slow dust deposition, and warm wet conditions favorable for rapid chemical weathering. To refine our understanding of the climate records contained in loess, we develop a numerical model as a tool for exploring…

Plan of the Remains of the Ancient Chapel-Royal, called Kirkheugh, St Andrews, with a Descriptive Notice
This article discusses the construction materials and layout of the ruined chapel at Kirkheugh. Although the author is hesitant to draw conclusions about when the earlier part of the structure was built, he does suggest that the newer part of the chapel could have been added in the thirteenth century. The Vice-President David Laing then presents some notes on the local history of the chapel in Kirkheugh, including the connection with the culdees,…

What are we trying to do
This Thing Could Go That Way
neously-?the goal of this essay, like the goal of the Buddhist path of inquiry, will be reached only at the end, gradually. This essay is concerned only with the beginning of the path, for, though much wordy attention has been paid to the quietude of later stages, regarding the earliest awareness there is an unfortunate silence. Of the results of self-analysis and world-analysis (for these two problems comprise the path), it is said that one goes…
Lord of the Flies on Coral Island
L'analyse de Coral Island, de R. M. Ballantyne, et de Lord of the Flies, de William Golding, est faite pour découvrir l'évolution des notions à l'endroit des jeunes et de la nature humaine au cours du dernier siécle. Dans cette analyse, on s'intéresse spécialement au comportement des garcons et de la façon dont ils s'attribuent entre eux l'autorité et le pouvoir. Puisque le volume récent a utilisé l'autre comme modèle, la critique comparée en l'o…

Impressions of Bangladesh: The Rule of Arms and the Politics of Exhortation
A CENTRAL CONTRADICTION has emerged in Bangladesh between ambitious national plans for social and economic development, and the weakness of the local institutions to implement the programmes. Citizens have been urged to 'grow more food,' 'control the population' and 'serve the nation.' But these exhortations have come from an Administration governing by the rule of arms. The problem for the martial law administrators has been to secure the consen…

Cultivating Science as Cultural Policy: A Contrast of Agricultural and Nuclear Science in India
G-IVEN THE WIDESPREAD conviction that the conduct of is indifferent to culture, or that the sciences themselves produce a separate culture, why should be discussed in a context of cultural policy? Does not a review of policy literature alone fully reveal why the state supports scientific institutions and scientific research? No, it does so only in part; and this article will show that the state's support of the sciences in India cannot properly b…
