During the 1980s Black athletes and other athletes of color broadened the popularity and profitability of major-college televised sports by infusing games with a “Black style� of play. At a moment ripe for a revolution in men’s college basketball and football, clashes between “good guy� white protagonists and bombastic “bad boy� Black antagonists attracted new fans and spectators. And no two teams in the 1980s welcomed the enemy’s role more than Georgetown Hoya basketball and Miami Hurricane football. Georgetown and Miami taunted opponents. They celebrated scores and victories with in-your-face swagger. Coaches at both programs changed the tenor of postgame media appearances and the language journalists and broadcasters used to describe athletes. Athletes of color at both schools made sports apparel fashionable for younger fans, particularly young African American men. The Hoyas and the ’Canes were a sensation because they made the bad-boy image look good. Popular culture took notice. In the United States sports and race have always been tightly, if sometimes uncomfortably, entwined. Black athletes who dare to challenge the sporting status quo are often initially vilified but later accepted. The 1980s generation of barrier-busting college athletes took this process a step further. True to form, Georgetown’s and Miami’s aggressive style of play angered many fans and commentators. But in time their style was not only accepted but imitated by others, both Black and white. Love them or hate them, there was simply no way you could deny the Hoyas and the Hurricanes.  

The ""livable city,"" the ""creative city,"" and more recently the ""pop-up city"" have become pervasive monikers that identify a new type of urbanism that has sprung up globally, produced and managed by the business improvement district and known colloquially by its acronym, BID. With this case study, Susanna F. Schaller draws on more than fifteen years of research to present a direct, focused engagement with both the planning history that shaped Washington, D.C.'s landscape and the intricacies of everyday life, politics, and planning practice as they relate to BIDs. Schaller offers a critical unpacking of the BID ethos, which draws on the language of economic liberalism (individual choice, civic engagement, localism, and grassroots development), to portray itself as color blind, democratic, and equitable. Schaller reveals the contradictions embedded in the BID model. For the last thirty years, BID advocates have engaged in effective and persuasive storytelling; as a result, many policy makers and planners perpetuate the BID narrative without examining the institution and the inequities it has wrought. Schaller sheds light on these oversights, thus fostering a critical discussion of BIDs and their collective influence on future urban landscapes.

Fur die Biologie ist die Mehrschichtigkeit ihrer Probleme be- zeichnend. Sie arbeitet gleichzeitig auf verschiedenen Ebenen und mit verschiedenen Methoden. Ihre Aufgaben reichen von der blossen Beschreibung und Ordnung der Objekte (der Organis- men) bis zur Kausalanalyse ihrer Entwicklungs-und Lebensgesetze. Obgleich die erstgenannten deskriptiven Disziplinen (Systematik und Morphologie) historisch wesentlich alter sind als die experi- mentell forschenden Zweige (Physiologie, Genetik) sind doch alle noch gleicherweise aktuell; denn auch heute kann keines der biologischen Grundprobleme als geloest gelten. Die Zoologie allein hat uber I Million bekannter Arten zu ordnen - und gewiss werden noch gut 300000 neue Spezies hinzu- kommen; denn die zoologische Erforschung der sogenannten Entwicklungslander hat ja vielfach erst begonnen. Aber selbst in unseren Breiten sind wir mit dem Beschreiben und Ordnen noch lange nicht fertig, vor allem, wenn wir nach der OEkologie und Biologie unserer Kleintiere fragen. Was wissen wir schon von deren Umwelt und Lebensgewohnheiten? Eines der dunkelsten Kapitel der beschreibenden Biologie war bis vor wenigen Jahren die Frage nach dem Leben und Treiben der Kleintierwelt des Erdbodens. Man wusste zwar, dass es da unter unseren Fussen von Wurmern, Insektenlarven, Urinsekten, Tausendfussern, Milben, Einzellern und anderem Kleingetier nur so wimmle - aber wer hatte schon deren lichtscheuem Getriebe zugesehen? Es mussten erst neue Methoden des Fanges, der Zuchtung und Beobachtung entwickelt werden, um dem Boden seine zoologischen Geheimnisse entlocken zu koennen. Von diesen Methoden und Ge- heimnissen soll hier erzahlt werden.

Two generations ago Kevin Phillips challenged Republicans to envision a southern-based national majority. In "Whistling Past Dixie," Tom Schaller issues an equally transformative challenge to Democrats: Build a winning coalition outside the South.
