A major goal is to improve the availability of and access to effective, efficient, appropriate and acceptable community-based long term care services for rural elderly. This will be accomplished by: (1) providing rural communities the materials, tools, information, and multidisciplinary expertise to facilitate development of effective, appropriate, and acceptable long term care service systems; (2) improving the computer capacity and capabilities of SUAs, rural AAAs, and other rural providers for information transfer, data collection and data analysis necessary to service planning, coordination, and evaluation processes; and (3) increasing the availability of service providers in rural areas who have training in case management and current practices in long term care of the elderly.

Extractions: A t a time when all the major European states had hereditary monarchs, the idea of a president with a limited term of office was itself revolutionary. The Constitution vests the executive power in the president. It also provides for the election of a vice president who succeeds to the presidency in case of the death, resignation or incapacitation of the president. While the Constitution spells out in some detail the duties and powers of the president, it does not delegate any specific executive powers to the vice president or to members of the presidential Cabinet or to other federal officials. Creation of a powerful unitary presidency was the source of some contention in the Constitutional Convention. Several states had experience with executive councils made up of several members, a system that had been followed with considerable success by the Swiss for some years. And Benjamin Franklin urged that a similar system be adopted by the United States. Moreover, many delegates, still smarting under the excesses of executive power wielded by the British king, were wary of a powerful presidency. Nonetheless, advocates of a single president operating under strict checks and balances carried the day. In addition to a right of succession, the vice president was made the presiding officer of the Senate. A constitutional amendment adopted in 1967 amplifies the process of presidential succession. It describes the specific conditions under which the vice president is empowered to take over the office of president if the president should become incapacitated. It also provides for resumption of the office by the president in the event of his or her recovery. In addition, the amendment enables the president to name a vice president, with congressional approval, when the second office is vacated. This 25th Amendment to the Constitution was put into practice twice in 1974: when Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned and was replaced by Gerald R. Ford; and when, after President Richard Nixon's resignation, President Ford nominated and Congress confirmed former New York governor Nelson A. Rockefeller as vice president.
Extractions: THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH: POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY "The chief magistrate derives all his authority from the people..." At a time when all the major European states had hereditary monarchs, the idea of a president with a limited term of office was itself revolutionary. But the Constitution adopted in 1787 vested executive power in a president, and that remains the case today. The Constitution also provides for the election of a vice president, who succeeds to the presidency in case of the death, resignation, or incapacitation of the president. While the Constitution spells out in some detail the duties and powers of the president, it does not delegate any specific executive powers to the vice president, to the 14-member presidential cabinet (made up of the heads of the federal departments), or to other federal officials. The Constitution requires the president to be a native-born American citizen at least 35 years of age. Candidates for the presidency are chosen by political parties several months before the presidential election, which is held every four years (in years divisible evenly by four) on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The Twenty-second Amendment, ratified in 1951, limits the president to two terms of office. The vice president serves concurrently with the president. In addition to holding the right of succession, the vice president is the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twenty-fifth Amendment, adopted in 1967, amplifies the process of presidential succession. It describes the specific conditions under which the vice president is empowered to take over the office of president if the president should become incapacitated. It also provides for resumption of the office by the president in the event of his recovery. In addition, the amendment enables the president to name a vice president, with congressional approval, when the second office is vacated.

Extractions: Some miles south of here, there is a bridge that we at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are especially proud to claim as part of our heritage. It is the Brooklyn Bridge. It was designed by John Augustus Roebling. When completed in 1883, the uninterrupted span vaulting the East River between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan was an engineering marvel. The towers that hold the bridge stand on immense pneumatic foundations, which rest on the riverbed - a technology then in its infancy. John Roebling's patent for the in situ spinning of wire rope was a decisive breakthrough in modern suspension bridge technology. When John Roebling died during construction, his son, Washington A. Roebling, an 1857 graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, assumed oversight, and when Washington Roebling also became an invalid, Emily Warren Roebling, his wife, assumed the role of chief engineer. Already well-educated, Emily Roebling learned higher mathematics, the calculation of catenary curves, materials strength, stress analysis, bridge specifications, and the intricacies of cable construction. On site daily, she supervised construction, relaying the details of progress back to her husband. As adviser, aide, and emissary, her participation was responsible for the successful completion of the gigantic enterprise.

Extractions: Knowledge of the foe, knowledge of his resources, of his forces and his weaknesses, is the first demand in every fight. The first requisite to protect us, when seeing his superior powers, against discouragement; after partial success, against illusions. Hence it is necessary to consider how, with the evolution of society, the present ruling class has developed. This development was different in different countries. The workers of each country are exploited and dominated by their own bourgeoisie ( the property owning and capitalist class ); it is the foe they have to deal with. So it might seem sufficient to study its character only. But at present we see that the capitalist classes of all countries and all continents grow together into one world class, albeit in the form of two fiercely fighting coalitions. So the workers cannot restrict their attention to their direct masters. Already in the past, when taking up their fight, they themselves immediately felt an international brotherhood. Now the capitalist classes of the entire world are their opponents, and so they must know and understand them all.

Extractions: Introduction In the U.S., area studies came into being to serve national interests that became more global after 1945. In the 1950s, federal programs and private foundations provided funds to increase American knowledge of world areas to inform the global conduct of U.S. foreign policy, but national interests also included businesses, foundations, and universities that all sought to globalize their role in Americas world. Before 1945, Americas world centered on Europe, though it included East Asia and Latin America, and to a much lesser extent British and French imperial territories in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. After 1945, a new global U.S. view of the world emerged, and with it, area studies. Specifically, American national interests propelled an American style of area studies and American globalization at the same time. The Cold War defined Americas global context until 1989.1 When the Cold War ended and the U.S. government declared itself the victor, university administrators, legislators, and funding agencies questioned the old rationale for area studies. Institutional support for area studies knowledge came to depend on its relevance to a new phase of globalization, as the university, like business and government, sought to expand operations globally in a world where America seemed to have no serious competitors. American scholars in area studies programs, well-endowed with talent and resources, have been forced to create a new foundation for area studies in relation to globalization. The reinvention of area studies is still far from over. Many area studies programs in the U.S. are in the midst of or on the verge of institutional and intellectual crises. This essay provides some history for the intellectual work of rebuilding area studies.2
