Differentiated Instruction and Educational Standards: Is Detente Possible
This article addresses the increasingly critical issue of how educators can reconcile standards-driven accountability imperatives with the growing need to address the individual strengths and needs of diverse learners. It argues that not only are these 2 issues reconcilable, it is imperative that educators attend to them simultaneously and consistently if continuous improvement is to occur in schools and districts. The authors respond to three es…
Seeing Mary Plain: A Life of Mary McCarthy
Novelist and critic Mary McCarthy never failed to make an impression. Her life was full of drama and she moved in a circle of the sharpest-tongued intellectuals of her time, all of whom had plenty to say about this brilliant and glamorous woman. Kiernan has interviewed dozens of McCarthy's friends to produce a work rich in gossip and eloquent testimony

Sedimentation and Transformation in Organizational Change: The Case of Canadian Law Firms
This paper identifies two archetypes in large Canadian law firms to show how ideas of professionalism and partnership are changing, due in part to shifts in discourses in the wider institutional context. These changes in discourse themselves alter the interpretation of organizational structures and systems. This theme is explored through the concept of tracks and sedimentation. We explore the emergence of an organizational archetype that appears …

Revolution and the Muse: The American War of Independence in Contemporary French Poetry
T THE American Revolution provided a popular subject for French artists, sculptors, dramatists, and poets during the closing years of the eighteenth century. Their interpretations of events in the New World often serve as a commentary on the political and social situation in the Old. A great variety of paintings, sculpture, tapestries, porcelain, and assorted bibelots featured American themes and motifs. Houdon executed a series of busts of Revol…

Sampling bandlimited periodic signals-an application of the DFT
It is shown that Cahn's representation for bandlimited periodic signals in terms of their sampled values can be derived simply by using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Parseval's theorem for the DFT allows the average power of such a signal to be expressed directly in terms of signal samples without harmonic analysis
New York Jew
Alfred Kazin, one of the central figures of intellectual life for three decades in the middle of the 20th century, tells his own story and with it a history of contemporary American letters.
The Functioning of the Kenyan Industrial Court
In 1964, in response to a growing number of strikes, the recently-formed independent Government of Kenya established a new method of resolving industrial conflict. The purpose of this short article is to describe the operation and effects of the Kenyan Industrial Court, and to draw attention to some features that have affected its efficient operation
Recognition Assessed by Rating and Ranking
Recognition tests are ubiquitous in the study of cognition. A simple index of recognition with desirable properties is the proportion R of targets preferred to distractors. The estimation of R by either a rating or a ranking method is straightforward. No distributional assumptions are involved. Three experiments are described in which estimates derived by the two methods were found to be close. The rating method is potentially subject to a bias. …
Some Tests of the Decay Theory of Immediate Memory
The hypothesis of decay of the memory trace as a cause of forgetting has been unpopular. The reasons for this unpopularity are criticized and a theory of the memory span, based on this hypothesis, is put forward. Three experiments which test the hypothesis are described. In each, two kinds of stimuli are presented to the subject, viz., “required” stimuli, which he attempts to remember, and “additional” stimuli, to which he merely makes responses.…
