A New Generation: New Intellectual Opportunities

James Youniss

The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.,

USA

These comments on the publication of the new handbook are written from the perspective of a member of the in-between generation. In-betweeners were born about the time Murchison edited the first and second handbooks in the 1930s. They spent childhood watching newreels of World War II at movie houses featuring ‘cowboy’ serials on Saturday afternoons. Their professional education straddled two psychological eras. It began just as the ‘experimental psychology’ paradigm was ending its domination and it was completed as new alternatives were coming into view. (...)

Had they been born just a few years earlier, they would have been part of that powerful and long-lasting generation that entered the military

during World War II and filled the universities immediately after the war. This unusual cohort held leadership in the discipline of psychology in general and developmental psychology, in particular, for several decades. (...)

Assinale a opção que contém uma expressão equivalente a: “Had they been born”, em “Had they been born just a few years earlier...” e que, portanto, poderia vir a substituí-la no texto.

And Now, the Birdcast

Passing almost unnoticed in the night, billions of birds will fly over the mid-Atlantic states this spring on their annual migration northward. A new Web site will help ornithologists pinpoint critical habitat for the feathered travelers by combining weather radar data with old-fashioned fieldwork.

Radar has been used to track bird migrations since around 1940, says Steve Kelling, who heads BirdSource, a bird database at Cornell University. But the potential payoff grew about 5 years ago when the government began installing Doppler radar Stations, which yield high-resolution threedimensional data. Ornithologists are eager to use Doppler to track bird movement, but first, they need to calibrate it with data from the ground.

So Cornell, Clemson University, and other groups have launched BirdCast. Every few hours from April to 31 May, radar images of the Philadelphia to Washington, D. C., area – some filtered to remove weather and reveal birds – will be posted on the project’s Web site (www.birdcast.org). The site will also collect observations from several hundred citizen-scientists (birdwatchers, that is), which will be combined with other data, such as chirps picked up by acoustic monitors. Kelling says the results should reveal the bird’s favorite rest stops,

highlighting priority areas for protection. Eventually, BirdCast hopes to go nationwide.

Men in cobalt-blue

In reality, a perfume is the liquid essence of herbs, fruit, flowers and certain woods. In dreams, it’s not that way. In the ebb and flow of the imagination, a perfume always breathes. When creating his recent Polo Ralph Lauren Blue, stylist Ralph Lauren began with the freedom suggested by the color blue: seaside, cloudless sky and jeans. From this feeling arose the other elements of the new cologne. In the vocabulary of a perfumist, there are the warm tones of melon and tangerine, of basil and sage and the soft scents of amber and musk. The idea is to please an urban man who is taken by adventure, the sea and jeans. It follows the original Polo, that is now 25 years old.

A questão refere-se ao texto abaixo:

First, let me tell you where I’m coming from. Before I saw “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, I didn’t know the difference between an orc and an elf, or what Middle-earth was in the middle of. This review is coming to you from a Tolkien-freezone. I went in to Peter Jackson’s movie – the first of a trilogy – with no preconceptions. I came out, three hours later, sorry I’d have to wait a year to see what happens next in Frodo Baggins’s battle against the Dark Lord, Sauron, and thinking a trip to the bookstore to pick “The Two Towers” might be in order. (...)

This is a violent movie - too violent for little ones - and there are moments more “Matrix” than medieval. Yet it transcends cheap thrills; we root for the survival of our heroes with a depth of feeling that may come as a surprise. The movie keeps drawing you in deeper. Unlike so many overcooked action movies these days, “Fellowship” doesn’t entertain you into a stupor. It leaves you with your wits intact, hungry for more.

Job Interview

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young Engineer fresh out of MIT, “And what starting salary were you looking for?”

The Engineer said, “In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”

The HR Person said, “Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?”

The Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow!!! Are you kidding?”

And the HR Person said, “Of course,...but you started it.”
