Roger Abrahams, author
No full textRoger Abrahams, director of the African and Afro-American Research Institute at the University of Texas-Austin and author of Positively Black, argues the case for ethnic diversity in this interview. He also discusses that the idea of "new ethnicity" is not restricted to black or brown America and he sees a widespread return to old mores inherent in the traditional ethnic value system.

The synthesis of some odorous compounds
No full textThe synthesis of fragrant compounds is an important aspect of organic chemistry on account of their intrinsic value and the opportunities they present for the application of new synthetic methodology.Cyclic 2-hydroxy-2-enones make an important contribution to the odour and flavour of a wide variety of foodstuffs. A new general synthetic route to these compounds was developed, based upon the cyclisation of dialdehydes to cyclic acyloins under the catalytic influence of thiazolium salts and subsequent oxidation to the enolised a=diketones. The catalysis of the cyclisation by thiazolium salts mimics in vitro the role playedd by the coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate in biological systems. A number of both. naturally occurring and novel cyclic enolones was prepared including 2-hydroxy-3-methylcyclopent-2en-i-one, an important industrial caramel flavouring. The ability of thiazolium salts to catalyse the intramolecular addition of aldehyde groups to a variety of other functional groups was investigated. A competing intermolecular reaction to give dimeric acyloins was. found to restrict the general, applicability of these reactions. Attempts were made to synthesise substitutes for methyl jasmonate, a valuable material in perfumery, and -6-lactones by the intramolecular conjugate addition of an aldehyde group to an acrylic function.A synthesis of,4-(2,6,6-trimethyl cyclohex-3-enyl)but- 3-en-2-one,a fragrant member of the ionone family, utilised an acid catalysed Diels-Alder reaction to construct a suitably substituted cyclohexene ring which was then further elaborated. A similar route was applied,less successfully, to the synthesis of 4-(2,6,6-trimethlcyclohexa1,3-dienyl)but-3-en-2-one, a naturally occurring synthetic precursor..to the plant growth hormone abscisic acid. Several approaches to the conversion of ionones into the isomeric damascones through epoxide intermediates are also described.</p

Interview with former Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D. Voelker
No full textIn an oral history interview, Michigan Supreme Court Justice and author of the novel "Anatomy of a murder", John D. Voelker, talks about growing up in Ishpeming, MI, and his education and work background, including his time as a district attorney. Voelker also discusses being appointed to the Court in 1957, running against Joseph Moynihan, Jr. for a seat that same year, how decisions are made by the justices, famous cases he heard, including People v. Hildabridle and his eventual resignation from the Court. Justice Voelker talks fondly about writing, and the books he wrote under the pseudonym Robert Traver and reads an excerpt from "Laughing whitefish" which includes a description of the Michigan Supreme Court chambers. Voelker is interviewed by Roger F. Lane.See the Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society website for more information on the life of John D. Voelker.Image courtesy of the Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society.Interviewed by Roger F.
