After numerous disasters in the lab, a geneticist, Victor Liberalstein, succeeds in cloning a seemingly ideal liberal candidate. The candidate, whom Victor vainly names Frank N. Liberalstein, is brilliant, articulate, and movie star handsome. But Victor and his midget clone assistant, Albore, know Liberalstein has a serious defect, one that in a nanosecond could cause him to mutate into a liberal monster. Liberalstein's dangerous flaw, however, is also what makes him so attractive as a candidate-he's engorged with the genes of the world's most notorious political and celebrity liberals. People like Bill and Hillary Wimpton, Michael S'Moore, George Looney, the Rev. Al Sharlatan, and Jane Fondue. Victor's boss and benefactor is the volatile Dr. Howard Steam, former Vermont Governor and proctologist, now Chair of the Covert Democratic National Committee. Despite Victor's warnings about Liberalstein's volatility, Steam orders him to prepare Liberalstein to run for President in 2008. Will Victor develop drugs or make genetic alterations in time to stop Liberalstein's wild tendencies? Will Victor win the heart of sexy California Senator Polly Poxer? Will President Liberalstein actually cede Miami to Al Gouda terrorists? Liberals and conservatives alike will enjoy C. D. Jewell's Liberalstein, a wild and wacky political satire.

First published in 1987. The legal and political writings of the German Social Democrats Kirchheimer and Neumann, from the period prior to the National Socialist seizure of power, are little known to English readers. This volume presents a selection of important essays from this period, which focus on the prospects for the constitutional realization of a social democratic order in the first German Republic - the Weimar Republic, created out of the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, and destroyed by the National Socialists in 1933. Both Kirchheimer and Neumann were active as lawyers in the later 1920s and early 1930s, the latter especially having a close connection with trade union legislation and labour law. From their viewpoint as Social Democrats and lawyers they present incisive analyses of the problems confronted by the attempt to realize the ideal of a social Rechtsstaat in a political environment increasingly dominated by forces on left and right which saw constitutional order only as a means to seize power, and not as a legitimate form of order in itself. In these circumstances, political issues translated into constitutional issues, and thus could be analysed in terms of the aims and objectives of a given constitutional order. A substantial introduction by the volume’s editor, Keith Tribe, presents the political and theoretical background to these essays, which range over questions of industrial democracy, political representation, parliamentary rule and the role of judicial review. These issues are once more on the political agenda of Western industrial democracies, and the analyses of Kirchheimer and Neumann have lost none of their force and relevance, despite the catastrophic ‘failure’ of Weimar democracy in 1933.
Neither human nature nor personality can be independent of culture. Human beings share certain social norms or rules within their cultural groups. Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle held that man is by nature a social animal. Similarly, Xun Kuang (298-238 B.C.), a Chinese philosopher, pointed out that humans in social groups can not function without shared guidance or rules. This book is designed to provide readers with a perspective on how people are different from, and similar to, each other --both within and across cultures. One of its goals is to offer a practical guide for people preparing to interact with those whose cultural background is different from their own.
