Immigrants must also be wary of incompetent lawyers, warn A.I.L.A. officials. With a nearly impenetrable INS bureaucracy supervising complex and muddled laws, a lawyer who does not specialize in immigration work may not have enough expertise. The A.I.L.A. has a screening process and a three-year waiting period to make sure new members meet both ethical and competency standards. Beyond that, it is urging other states to follow the example of Texas and establish board certification for immigration lawyers, which would create a list of trustworthy, reliable attorneys. But, admits Denver's Robert Heiserman, A.I.L.A.'s ethics committee chief, immigration...
Both sides in the debate over contra funding use the specter of an invasion to bolster their case. Democrats and other critics warn that any further aid will be one more step down a dark tunnel of U.S. involvement. The Administration warns that withholding such assistance hastens the day when less attractive options will become necessary. The $30 million or so is hardly the issue; the Pentagon spends that amount in less than an hour. What is at stake is a symbol of U.S. commitment to oppose and perhaps topple the Sandinista regime, with starkly differing views on where such...
...Psychiatrist Alfred Adler's concept of a universal "inferiority feeling." In Harris' view, many people go through life thinking of themselves as helpless children overwhelmed by adults. This stance, which he calls "I'm not OK -- You're OK," is often no one's fault. Even good parents who warn their children not to run into a busy street can build a feeling of worthlessness in their offspring. Children often lack the capacity to see the wisdom of a parental order. The child knows only that he or she is in the wrong; this develops into a permanent "recording...
...these AIDS plays reach out to heterosexuals, both for help in combatting the disease and to warn that it is spreading into the "straight" population. The authors also wrestle with basic questions of the sexual revolution: Is it liberating to be a libertine? Does promiscuity debase the spirit? How does one balance momentary, if intense, pleasure against sustaining a lifelong commitment? Is happy monogamy the ideal state of man? But Kramer and Hoffman are dramatists as much as propagandists. What makes As Is and Normal Heart so deeply affecting is that they portray anguish and doom in individual human terms...
Review instructors warn that every SAT contains an unscored section of experimental, often difficult candidate questions for future tests. One such question asked for the antonym of the word imbibe, whose common definitions are to drink and to receive into the mind. The answer choices were (A) dissuade, (B) reward, (C) exude, (D) loosen bonds, (E) refuse help. According to Owen, only 13% of students taking the test marked E.T.S.'s answer, exude, which is the opposite of soak, an archaic definition of imbibe. Review students are taught to spot the experimental section by its heavy cargo of muddy puzzlers...
