Congressional Term Limits Introduction State-imposed limits on congressional tenure increase the qualifications for candidates for Congress in addition to those set forth in the Constitution. Consequently, as the Supreme Court recently held in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, they are an unconstitutional violation of the Qualifications Clauses. Furthermore, "quasi-term limits," whereby the state attempts to inhibit a candidate's access to a state ballot also violate the Qualifications Clauses. These types of limits are merely an attempt to circumvent the Court's ruling in Thornton and will likely be rejected by the courts. Thus, people who support limits on congressional tenure must advocate the passage of a constitutional amendment to that effect.

STANDARDIZED TESTING Standardized testing has come under attack by academicians, parents, teachers, and some politicians. However, for the majority of Americans the subject of standardized testing remains an esoteric and vague subject, little understood and better left to the professionals . . . but, absolutely necessary. By contrast, the professionals do not agree on either the necessity or the value of standardized testing. The issue of standardized testing is almost inseparable from the discussion of standards, at least in the United States. When Americans refer to "standards", we intend to identify exactly what it is that we expect students to learn in school: How many languages should they learn and at what level of fluency?

This research will examine the eight top American theatrical centers in the U.S. The research will set forth the background for the establishment of performing-arts centers in certain major urban areas of the country and then discuss the focus of each such facility, with a view toward identifying the attributes of each center's operation and the scope of activity in which each center engages. To adequately appreciate the standing that a performing arts center has in any major urban area, it may be useful to look at the social function that the concept of performing arts has served in the U.S. in general. From the acting company formed by William Hallam in 1752 in Williamsburg, Virginia (Hewitt 12-12), to the present day, theatrical performance appears to have held popular appeal with the public at large. On the other hand, there appea

Former First Lady, Barbara Bush, once stated, “War is not nice.” While a bit understated, the truth behind that quote is that war is not meant to be fun. War is never an easy decision (in the West) and is met often with rhetoric and manufacture as a government seeks to convince the populace of valid reasons for seeking the destruction of an enemy. Sometimes, the convincing is easy and the war effort becomes popular with the people. This may be seen after Pearl Harbor was bombed during World War II, and most recently the attack against the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC. There are also times when the people are not convinced of the justifications for a particular war effort and the war therefore, becomes unpopular. This is what occurred in recent U.S. history with the War in Vietnam. More central to war are the issues of killi
