    Original video recording on VHS is housed in the NEJL. The interview is also available online in the mp4 and webm formats at: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/library/collections/nejl/gideon/index.cfmThe interview was conducted by Victor Geminiani on March 17, 1993, as part of the NEJL oral history project.Krash is a graduate of the University of Chicago (B.A.1946); the University of Chicago Law School (J.D. 1949); and he was a graduate fellow at the Yale Law School 1949-50. He is presently a Distinguished Visitor from Practice at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. where he teaches Constitutional Law. Krash was a member of President Johnson’s Commission on Crime in the District of Columbia in 1966-67, and he was President of the Friends of the Law Library of Congress in the 1990s. For many years, he was the head of the anti-trust practice group at Arnold & Porter, and he represented a number of major companies in different kinds of proceedings. He is the author of numerous articles in law reviews and law journals on a variety of subjects. Mr. Krash continues to advocate further reforms to fully realize Gideon’s intent: statewide public defender systems, decriminalization of some crimes, and reexamination by the Supreme Court as to what constitutes adequate counsel. In 2013, Krash received the Lifetime Achievers Award from the American Lawyer’s.Abe Krash worked for Arnold, Fortas & Porter, and assisted Abe Fortas in researching the issues and writing the brief for Gideon v. Wainwright Gideon v. Wainwright 372 U.S. 335 (1963). In the interview, Krash recalls Fortas’ defense strategy, and reflected about the impact of the case as one of the landmark cases of constitutional law in the last fifty years. At the same time, he emphasized that “all of the hopes that we had have not been fulfilled.

    This Book on Nobility and Business in History, which reprints the special issue Noblemen Entrepreneurs published in Business History, 64-2 in February 2022, is the result of a lengthy work, which lasted several years, mainly focusing on two key questions: What was the contribution of the nobility to the economy? Can we consider noblemen to have been endowed with an entrepreneurial spirit? The volume gathers sixteen scholars’ new insights into the business activities of noblemen in Europe and Asia during the nineteenth century, thus offering up opportunities for comparison in an age of economic globalisation

    Abe Yoshishige on 'Masaoka Shiki as a person'

    No full text
    This is a video of a talk by Reiko Abe Auestad (University of Oslo) for the "Haiku as World Literature: A Celebration of the 150th Birthday of Haiku Poet Masaoka Shiki", which took place on October 12 & 13, 2017 at Barristers Hall, Boston University. Recorded on October 12, 2017 by the Geddes Language Center.Reiko Abe Auestad is Professor at the University of Oslo. She is the author of Rereading Soseki: Three Early Twentieth-Century Japanese Novels (1998) which was republished in a digital form from CEAS Reprint Series for Rare and Out of Print Publications at Yale University (2016). Her recent essays include "Invoking Affect in Kawakami Mieko's Chichi to ran (Breasts and Eggs 2008)," Japan Forum (2016) and "Ibuse Masuji's Kuroi Ame (Black Rain 1965) and Imamura Shōhei's Film Adaptation (1989)," Bunron (2017). "The Affect that Disorients Kokoro" in The Review of Japanese Culture and Society and "Colliding Forms in Literary History: A Reading of Natsume Sōseki's Light and Dark" in the Routledge Companion to World Literature and World History are forthcoming. Together with Alan Tansman and Keith J. Vincent, she is also co-editing two collections of essays on the novelist Natsume Sōseki.In his essay on Masaoka Shiki on the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Abe Yoshishige discusses his view of Shiki "as a person," based on the anecdotes he has heard from his friends, relatives, and the novelist Natsume Sōseki, as well as on his own reading of some of Shiki's works (sixteen years his junior, Abe's first-hand experience with Shiki was rather limited). Abe's father, Abe Yoshitō, studied the Chinese classics under Shiki's maternal grandfather, Ōhara Kanzan, and his family closely associated with Shiki's mother, uncles and cousins. Yoshitō the doctor even saved Shiki's life when he suffered from cholera as a fourteen-year-old. Abe also talks about Sōseki's jestful description of Shiki as a "nikui otoko," (hateful, or headstrong person) which, together with other comparative observations of them which Abe makes, adds color to his characterization of Shiki. Beneath the tone of characteristic Confucian austerity, we get glimpses of Abe's warm feelings and pride about Shiki's achievement as a native of Matsuyama. Through a reading of this very personal, meandering essay, and Sōseki's short piece titled "Masaoka Shiki," this paper tries to take stock of the figure of Shiki as he appeared to Abe and others, as well as of the homosocial cultural milieu of which Shiki, Sōseki, and Abe Yoshishige were a part in the late nineteenth century

    Random fractional Fourier transform : stochastic perturbations along the axis of propagation

    No full text
    The fractional Fourier transform (FRT) is known to be optically implementable with use of a medium with a perfect radial quadratic-index profile. Using the quantum-mechanical operator formalism, we examine the effects on the FRT action of such a medium that are due to small random inhomogeneities in the longitudinal direction, the direction of propagation, and we formulate the random fractional Fourier transform (RFRT). Applying the RFRT to a self-fractional Fourier function, a Gaussian function, we discuss both the total power and the variance. The random Fourier transform is examined as a special limiting case.Other funderForbairt Irelandpe, la, ke, ab, is - TS 22.11.1

    The ordering principle behind Abe Ichizoku

    his paper attempts to prove that Abe Ichizoku has an orderly world dominated by an idea that is found in the words of Hosakawa Tadatoshi on his death bed. The author of the paper compares the words and sentences found in Abe Ichizoku with those found in Abe Chaji-dan which is the original material Mori Ogai referred to in writing the story. With this comparison the "law" behind the world of Abe Ichizokuand the world view of Mori Ogai will be better understood.departmental bulletin pape
