Jack McCloy letter to Judge Francis Biddle on the development of the Hirayabashi and Yasui legal cases, May 8, 1943
No full textIn this letter from Jack McCloy to Judge Francis Biddle, McCloy ruminates on the possibility of an "unfavorable" decision for the United States in the cases of Gordon Hirabayashi and Minoru Yasui. He writes, "While neither of these cases involves habeas corpus, it seems that a decision adverse to the Government would a fortiori render illegal the present retention of American citizens of Japanese ancestry in relocation centers." He continues, "I assume the Department of Justice could and would make a suitable provision for potentially dangerous aliens, but would appreciate your ideas on how disaffected American citizens, of which there are a substantial and growing number, should be handled."Gordon Kiyoshi Hirabayashi (1918-2012) was an American sociologist and conscientious objector to the Japanese American internment during WWII. Born in the Sand Point area of Seattle, he grew up on the farmland surrounding Kent. In Japan, both of Hirabayashi's parents had become members of Mukyokai, or the "non-church" movement. Teaching Christian principles free from denominational issues, Mukyokai stressed an uncompromising stand against social injustice. When he was a student at the University of Washington, Hirabayashi became a Quaker and involved in social services. Hirabayashi refused to comply with the curfew imposed on Japanese Americans in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and later refused to report for relocation to the internment camps on the grounds that the directives were based solely on race and therefore were unconstitutional.
After the last Japanese were forcibly removed from Seattle, Hirabayashi turned himself in to the FBI and was tried and convicted in the Federal District Court of Seattle. The case ultimately went to the Supreme Court, which ruled that the curfew was constitutional. Hirabayashi was sentenced to serve three months in a minimum security prison in Arizona. No funds were available to transport him, so Hirabayashi spent two weeks hitchhiking to get there. Later, he was tried and convicted of draft resistance and served nine months in the federal penitentiary on McNeil Island. When released, Hirabayashi returned to the University of Washington and received BA, MA and PhD degrees in sociology. Upon completeion of his education, he taught overseas at the American University in Beirut and the American University at Cairo. He retired from the University of Alberta in 1983. In the 1980s Hirabayashi and his legal team brought new evidence about the exclusion order's prejudice to the courts of government misconduct which then overturned his 1943 convictions based on the rarely used argument of coram nobis. In May 2012, four months after his death, Hirabayashi was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Building and Defining Behavioral Economics
No full textContains fulltext :
95156.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access)George Loewenstein, a prominent behavioral economist, recalls thatIn 1994, when Thaler, Camerer, Rabin, Prelec and I spent the year at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, we had a meeting to make a kind of final decision about what to call what we were doing. Remarkably, at that time, the name behavioral economics was not yet well established. I actually advocated “psychological economics,” and Thaler was strong on behavioral economics. I'm kind of glad that he prevailed; I think it's a better, catchier, label, although it creates confusion due to association with Behaviorism. (G. Loewenstein, personal email to author, June 16, 2008
P2_5 Jack and the Decompression Sickness
No full textIn this paper, we calculate the volume of supplemental oxygen that Jack would need to climb the entire height of the beanstalk in the classic fairy-tale, Jack and the Beanstalk. We also find the pressure of the air at the beanstalk peak and compare this to the pressure at sea-level. These values were found to be 1880 litres and 0.365 Pa respectively
Explosion of Biddle & Cos. Congress water fount
No full textA satire on the failure of the combined efforts of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John Calhoun, and Nicholas Biddle to thwart Andrew Jackson's treasury policy. In 1833 Jackson ordered that federal deposits be removed from the Bank of the United States, a controversial action that utlimately led to the Bank's destruction. To the right, beneath columns marked "Pensylvania," "Virginia," "New York," and "Georgia," sits Andrew Jackson smoking a clay pipe and conversing with Jack Downing. Behind him are strong boxes of "Deposites" the topmost of which is marked "Foundation for a National Bank." Leaning on them is the figure of Liberty with a staff, liberty cap and flag reading "Public confidence in Public funds." At her feet is an eagle with shield, arrows and lightning bolts. Downing: " . . . Gineral, this is a real shiver de freeze! You've sent Clay to "pot" eny how "nullified Calhoun," made "Webster" a "shuttle cock and busted Biddle's Bank biler!" Jackson: "Aye, Aye, Major Downing they thought they'd give us a dose of Congress Water, but they find what we're "Bent on" and we've given 'em a hard Poke into the bargain!" He refers to support for his program spearheaded in Congress by Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. On the left a marble-based water fountain explodes, hurling aside (clockwise from upper left) Nicholas Biddle, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, and John Calhoun. Biddle: "The fountain from the which my current springs or else dries up to be discarded thence,--" Webster: "Thus vaulting ambition doth o'er leap itself and falls on t'other side." Clay: "Sic transit gloria mundi. "Le jeu est fait, The game is up." Calhoun (losing his cockaded hat and bayonet): "United "we" stand, divided I fall. Fonte nulla fides." Also thrown from the fountain are a "National Gazette," "Ginger bread," a bottle of "Boston Pop," and a plank "American System." ":Explosion. . ." is one of the few satires favorable to Jackson on the Bank issue. It is very similar in terms of composition and draughtsmanship to another pro-Jackson satire "The Downfall of Mother Bank" (no. 1833-9), and could easily be by the same artist. Both are signed with the commonly-used pseudonym "Zek Downing." "Explosion" was recorded as deposited for copyright on February 1, 1834.Drawd off after natur by the real Zek Dowining Neffu . . . .Entered Southern District of New York 1834 by Anthony Imbert.Title appears as it is written on the item.Weitenkampf, p. 36.Forms part of: American cartoon print filing series (Library of Congress)Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F.
