Is it Time to Rewrite the Constitution? Fidelity to Our Imperfect Constitution
This essay considers arguments that the U.S. Constitution is so imperfect — and the constitutional and political system so dysfunctional or otherwise failing — that it is time to rewrite the Constitution through amendment or constitutional convention. I argue that if we adopt and maintain an attitude of fidelity to our imperfect Constitution, it may be unnecessary to formally amend the Constitution unless there is good reason to believe that something better might come out of this process. The better approach is to maintain an attitude of fidelity to the imperfect Constitution and to apply a Constitution-perfecting theory — to interpret the Constitution so as to make it the best it can be. Furthermore, maintaining that attitude, we should recognize the need to “rewrite” the constitutional culture the better to secure constitutional democracy: to cultivate the civic virtues and foster the capacities needed to maintain constitutional self-government.

Reluctant Ally: United States Foreign Policy Toward the Jews from Wilson to Roosevelt (review)
and a clear understanding of the link between the Jewish way of life and non-naturalistic forms of theatrical expression. These many memories unfold like a great epic film, and though the transitions from one section to the next often show their seams, this is an unforgettable saga that breathes life into history. When we approach the final sections, it should be noted, the narrative seems to leave us a bit empty. Perhaps we're in denial, unwilling to accept the missing voice of Mr. Joseph Buloff, whose accounts are so filled with life that we don't want them to end. Thanks to the work of Ms. Kadison, we need only turn back the pages. Richard Stockton Rand Department of Visual and Performing Arts Purdue University
