Just Relationships develops a novel theory of private law for a liberal legal order.1 It argues that private law assumes the moral responsibility to determine just terms of interactions among private persons. Its most basic organizing ideas are substantive freedom and equality. We are grateful to Professors John Gardner, Robin West, and Benjamin Zipursky for their fascinating comments on our th...

Mr. Gardner's article on Degas's sculpture, "Arabesques in Bronze," in the January, 1946, issue of the Metropolitan Museum Bulletin raises several interesting and controversial questions. Mr. Gardner contends that modeling became the painter's "principal amusement as the years closed about him." Had he studied the present writer's catalogue of Degas's work in sculpture more carefully, he might ...

It is well known that the stability of certain distinguished waves arising in evolutionary PDE can be determined by the spectrum of the linear operator found by linearizing the PDE about the wave. Indeed, work over the last fifteen years has shown that spectral stability implies nonlinear stability in a broad range of cases, including asymptotically constant traveling waves in both reaction– di...

In order to quantify the effects of primary prevention on health outcomes, I investigate the impact of treatment of lead-based paint hazards in housing units on childhood lead poisoning at the census tract level in Chicago, IL. I use the findings from the analysis to weigh the costs of lead interventions against the potential benefits of reducing blood lead levels in children. Childhood lead po...

This paper examines the impact of health insurance coverage on diabetics’ decisions to monitor, treat and manage their condition and gauges the effect of these decisions on their health. Diabetics can experience serious or fatal complications without regular monitoring (of blood glucose and other indicators of disease severity) and, in some cases, prescription medication. These activities can p...

John Bonner started working on cellular slime molds in 1940 as an undergraduate at Harvard University, and resumed those studies there as a graduate student after the 2nd World War, finishing his PhD in 1947. His first job was in biology at Princeton University, where he has remained ever since: from assistant professor to professor emeritus. He continues to pursue both his laboratory research ...

It was oniy m our last volume ^1910, page 359; mat we gave a review of Dr. Beddoe's life as gathered from his own Memories of Eighty Years (Arrowsmith). He is no longer able to write his own biography, but who could write this better than himself in the life-story he has given us ? It becomes our duty to record our appreciation of the work he has done during his eighty-four years, and to expres...
