Takings Law and the Regulatory State: A Response to R.S. Radford
No full textIn the Winter 1994 issue of the Fordham Urban Law Journal, R.S. Radford provided an illuminating review of Dennis Coyle\u27s book Property Rights and the Constitution. Radford observes that, in addition to studying post-New Deal land use cases, Coyle provides an ideological framework that illuminates several key strands in the constitutional jurisprudence of property law ... [and] sets forth his own theories of the vital role of private property in creating and maintaining the American constitutional system. Radford\u27s review is a generally enthusiastic one. He sees Coyle\u27s book as providing a much-needed corrective to the existing pro-regulatory bias in the [scholarly] literature. He applauds Coyle, as well, for enriching our understanding of the competing preference systems that lead to different views about the legitimacy of land use regulation.
Underlying Radford\u27s review is the idea that property rights deserve greater constitutional protection than they have received in the almost sixty years since the Supreme Court accepted the fundamental legitimacy of the regulatory state. Radford\u27s position in this regard is not novel, but reflects broader trends in the courts and in the academy. In particular, Professor Richard Epstein of the University of Chicago has argued that the Fifth Amendment\u27s Takings Clause should be interpreted to bar government actions with redistributive consequences-to bar, in other words, the modern regulatory state. At the same time, in a series of recent cases involving land use and the Takings Clause, the Supreme Court has expanded the scope of the Takings Clause, although its holdings have been narrower in scope than Epstein\u27s view would warrant.
In this response, the author uses Radford\u27s review to talk about property rights and the Constitution. First, he reviews Radford\u27s interpretation and criticism of Coyle\u27s theory. Then the author discusses Radford\u27s Culture X theory in the context of Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council. Finally, he discusses the constitutional implications of Radford\u27s analysis

Reading Literary Cannibalism through Specific Body Parts
This article outlines how the modem cannibal myth functions on the basis of prior references in Western art and literature (mythemes). By tracing the importance of the heart and brain plus the eating thereof. the author points up a semantic shift from 'sacred heart' to 'secular brain'. The cannibal reappears at the body part which represents the ultimate; in other words, ultimate act and ultimate body part, the locus of many contemporary societal preoccupations (Kuru. CJT, transplants). The article refers specifically to the trilogy of Thomas Harris. in particular, Hannibal. This is an extract of a broader study of the real act of cannibalism in twentieth-century Western literature.Kathryn Radford

Health Hazard Evaluation Determination Report HE 79-19-740: Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Hercules Incorporated: Radford, Virginia
No full textEnvironmental and medical surveys were conducted on February 6 to 23, 1979, and June 18, 1979, to investigate the reported increase in heart disease among workers at Radford Army Ammunition Facility (SIC- 3483) of Hercules Incorporated in Radford, Virginia. The evaluation was requested by an authorized representative from Local 3-495 of the Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union on behalf of an unspecified number of employees. Ethyl-ether (60297) concentrations ranged from 90 to 712 parts per million (ppm), exceeding the OSHA standard of 400 ppm; nitroglycerin (55630) ranged from undetectable to 0.89 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3), will within the OSHA standard of 2 mg/m3; lead (7439921) ranged from undectable to 0.063 mg/m3, exceeding the OSHA standard of 0.05 mg/m3; and coal tar pitch volatiles ranged from undetectable to 0.1 mg/m3, within the OSHA standard of 0.2 mg/m3. All other samples were below their respective standards. The medical interviews and record review revealed several cases of previously diagnosed asbestosis and heart disease. The author concludes that a potential health hazard existed as a result of employee exposure to ethyl ether, nitroglycerin, lead, and coal tar pitch volatiles. He recommends that an educational program be established, that employees be provided with daily changes of protective clothing, that the respirator program be reviewed, that general work practices be improved, that all exhaust systems be reevaluated and systems be periodically maintained, and that a standard operating procedure be established for all employees who handle asbestos.

Ákall um nýjan alheimssáttmála: Guð, maður og náttúra í vistguðfræðilegum skrifum Rosemary Radford Ruether
No full textIn this article the focus is on the feminist eco-theology of Rosemary Radford Reuther (1936–2022). According to the author, Ruether attempts to create a new Covenant between God, humanity, and nature in her eco-theological contributions, initiating very different relations between the three entities above. This covenant is simultaneously the way forward for humanity when facing the threatening situation that exist in our world today in a climate changed world.Í þessari grein er sjónum beint að femínískri vistguðfræði Rosemary Radford Ruether (1936 –2022). Litið er svo á að Ruether setji fram nýjan sáttmála milli Guðs, mannkyns og náttúru í skrifum sínum. Hún boðar umbreytt tengsl milli aðilanna þriggja og að þau tengsl séu jafnframt sú leið sem mannkyni bjóðist út úr þeim hættulegu aðstæðum sem loftlagsbreyt-ingarnar valda nú um stundir
The Greening of Theology: The Ecological Models of Rosemary Radford Ruether, Joseph Sittler, and Jürgen Moltmann
No full textThis volume examines the contributions of three contemporary theologians -- Rosemary Radford Ruether, Joseph Sittler, and Jurgen Moltmann -- to the development of Christian ecological theology. Against the charge that the Christian tradition is ecologically bankrupt, the author demonstratesthe intellectual and spiritual resources available within Christianity for addressing ecological issues. Of particular interest are Ruether\u27s doctrine of God and her emphasis on ecojustice, Sittler\u27s cosmic Christology and reconception of the relation between nature and grace, and Motlmann\u27sdoctrine of the Holy Spirit and argument for social trinitarianism. Beyond evaluating the issues raised by Ruether, Sittler, and Moltmann, the author presents sixteen theses or desiderata for any adequate Christian ecological theology

A place for everything, and everything in its place
No full textThis paper addresses responses to the author’s earlier article (Radford, J. (2008) ‘Psychology in its Place’ Psychology Teaching Review, 14 (1), 38-50) published in the preceding issue of this journal. It presents a discussion of the several themes emerging from responses by British Psychological Society members, namely, psychology in the political context, and the nature of Psychology as a discipline. Several other issues are also discussed; the nature of higher education, and what should be its aims; the question of whose interests, if any, should have priority, the main stakeholders being students (and parents), academics, employers and government. Whether higher education should be purely practical or vocational, or have some more general ‘educational’ aims. The author concludes that the general view of contributors from the British Psychological Society on the nature of the teaching of Psychology in Higher Education was optimistic
