the need for the security found in a community of our fellows, and the need to develop our own unique qualities which set
us apart from others. He examines the manner in which modernity demands specialization that increasingly isolates us within
our society, although our need for security remains undiminished. Featuring discussion with Harry S. Ashmore, Elisabeth Mann

encourages open exploration of human sexual behavior. In her discussion of changing sexual attitudes and practices, Dr. Calderone
makes such observations as these: contraceptives have no effect on sexual behavior, promiscuity is more common among the middle-aged
than among college students, and many young people who dispense with marriage licenses have a better marital relationship
than their parents. She states that SIECUS chose "to sail those areas labeled by society 'Here there are monsters' to show
that there were no monsters." Cultural Change VI. 1 tape. [Transcript 11:8]. [LC 75-750448]. Category: HEALTH AND MEDICAL

Additional Note
In this program, doctors and lawyers discuss the complex relationship between their professions, a relationship that is basic
to our present malpractice system. Though most malpractice cases are settled out of court, the law nonetheless has tremendous
influence on the determination of what constitutes substandard medicine, even though neither judges nor juries are likely

hospital is to blame, for experts too often cannot agree on the exact cause of a patient's condition and this can prevent
the patient from winning a financial settlement. Featuring Harry S. Ashmore, Eli P. Bernzweig, Mark Blumberg, James W. Bush,

In this panel discussion, participants debate the strengths and weaknesses of arbitration as a means to settle malpractice
disputes. While arbitration is normally quick, inexpensive, and private, the decisions are not subject to appeal and it does
little to control the quality of medical care. Featuring Harry S. Ashmore, Eli P. Bernzweig, Mark Blumberg, James W. Bush,

Pre-Trial Arbitration: Proposal for a New Model.
Nov. 9, 1973.
Additional Note
Norval Morris, of the University of Chicago, describes plea-bargaining as a poker game played by people who have little personal
stake in the outcome, with less concern for the guilt or innocence of the accused than for the need to relieve the overcrowded

all the parties in a case in a judicially-controlled attempt to achieve a just settlement. Followed by discussion with Harry

Nov. 7, 1973.

Toward a New Jurisprudence: Intentional Law.
Nov. 8, 1973.
Additional Note
According to the Center's Harvey Wheeler, criminal law traditionally has relied on negative sanctions: restraint and inhibition
backed by threat of punishment. But as our goals and values shift from the pursuit of property and individual betterment to
those of social well-being, criminal law as a system of sanctions will no longer suffice. Instead, he argues, we will need
a new jurisprudence which will require positive actions rather than inhibit negative ones. Followed by discussion with Harry

imperiled because of steady shrinkage in American military expenditures while Soviet investment only increases. He contends
that this will lead other nations to gravitate toward the Soviet Union, leaving the United States isolated and beleaguered
in a hostile world. Pacem in Terris IV: 10. 1 tape. [Transcript 29:2]. [LC 76-742176]. Category: PEACE AND WAR.

Mar. 12, 1976.
Additional Note
William Madsen, of the University of California Santa Barbara, explains that there is little agreement among specialists on
what causes alcoholism, under what discipline it should be studied, or even how to define it. Biological determinists find
its roots in genetic predisposition, endocrine imbalance, or malnutrition; psycho-cultural specialists cite oral frustration
or search-for-power drive; while it is seen by others as simply a problem of wrong rather than right behavior. Followed by

Alcoholism: The Moral Issue.
Mar. 12, 1976.
Additional Note
In this panel discussion, participants examine some aspects of morality that underlie alcoholism: in what ways our various
communities and professions are morally responsible for the alcoholic, the ability of the drinker to exercise self-control
and to make moral choices, and whether labeling alcoholism as a disease discourages the alcoholic from considering the problem
on moral and ethical grounds. Featuring Clifton Fadiman, William D. Gorman, Leighton Huey, Mary Pendery, David J. Pittman,

Group Support in Rehabilitation of Alcoholics.
Mar. 12, 1976.
Additional Note
William Madsen, of the University of California Santa Barbara, contends that Alcoholics Anonymous has rehabilitated more alcoholics
than the combined efforts of medicine, psychology, and psychiatry, because AA, and programs like it, offers the support of
a group within which the alcoholic can feel normal while learning to live without alcohol. Followed by discussion with Clifton

Alcoholism: A Shared Responsibility.
Mar. 13, 1976.
Additional Note
Dr. Jokichi Takamine, chairman of the American Medical Association's Committee on Alcoholism, states that the medical profession,
for the most part, sees only the end results of alcoholism, and so the responsibility for most of the early diagnosis and
intervention falls to the rest of us, the family, friends, and fellow workers of alcoholics, and we must learn to recognize
the early warning signs and be willing to risk the unpleasantness that such intervention entails. Followed by discussion with

Dec. 10, 1975.
Additional Note
Nicholas Hobbs, of Vanderbilt University, proposes the creation of a new national policy directed toward re-establishing the
family as the primary caring, nurturing, and socializing agency of our society, to counteract policies that have weakened
the family by providing external resources to take over its traditional responsibilities. Followed by discussion with Hugh

The Evolution of Sex and the Future of the Family.
Sept. 27, 1976.
Additional Note
Anthropologist Paul J. Bohannon, of the University of California Santa Barbara, contends that the family, as an evolutionary
response to both human sexuality and child-rearing, is threatened by two fundamental changes which have focused on it simultaneously:
the liberation of sex from the reproductive function through reliable contraception, and the redistribution of the social
functions of the family among other specialized institutions resulting from technological change and population growth. The

Socialization, Sex Roles, and the Family.
Sept. 29, 1976.
Additional Note
Lois Hoffman, of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, observes that many of the traditional differences in male and female
roles are diminishing as a result of the different socialization experiences of children, particularly girls, brought about
by the profound changes in a woman's role in the American family as both childbearing and childrearing have come to occupy
a much smaller proportion of her adult life. Followed by discussion with panelists Pauline Bart, Leonard Borman, William Cortelyou,

The Modern Family: Expectations and Reality.
May 13, 1976.
Additional Note
Psychotherapist Bruno Bettelheim believes that the modern middle-class American family suffers its most serious psychological
difficulties as a result of the discrepancy between its present reality and its expectations of what it ought to be, expectations
derived from conditions which existed in the past but are no longer characteristic of families, such as the need for all family
members to stay and work together in order to avoid extreme emotional, social, and economic deprivation. Followed by discussion

Psychologist Elizabeth Douvan, of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, sees our society as having grown not only more
crowded and complex, but also more fragmented, dispersed, and privatized, leaving individuals in need more lonely and isolated
than ever before. She recommends the use of public policy to support and enlarge underutilized resources and to develop stronger
bonds of community. Followed by discussion with Leonard Borman, Tanis Bryan, Robert J. Havighurst, Grace Holt, Babette Inglehart,

Toward a Rational Policy on Crime.
Apr. 2, 1977.
Additional Note
Congressman Peter W. Rodino asserts that it would be unwise to expect the criminal justice system to spearhead programs that
affect the basic social, educational, economic, or political values of large numbers of our citizens in an effort to reduce

what the criminal justice system needs to function effectively is clear guidelines set by Congress and state legislatures
as to its primary tasks and objectives. Crime Series IV. 1 tape. [Transcript 10:4]. [LC 78-740856]. Category: LAW AND ORDER.

The Civil Right To Be Secure.
Apr. 2, 1977.
Additional Note
Senator Edward M. Kennedy states his belief that every citizen has a civil right to safety, and that to argue that there can
be no crime reform until society is reformed is to direct attention away from the significant steps government can take immediately
to fight crime, such as developing a modern comprehensive federal criminal code. Crime Series V. 1 tape. [Transcript 10:5].

Reordering Our Criminal Justice Priorities.
Apr. 2, 1977.
Additional Note
Norval Morris, of the University of Chicago Law School, claims that much of what we give the police and criminal courts to
do should not be their responsibility, but should be handled by other administrative tribunals and licensing processes so
that these elements of the crime control mechanism do not become overloaded. Thus, while these other bodies see to a broad
range of regulatory matters, the police and criminal courts can focus on protecting the populace from violence and predation.

The Impact of Illegal Immigration.
Mar. 25, 1977.
Additional Note
In this panel discussion, two sides of the issue of illegal immigration are discussed; the perceived urgency of the problem
as seen by officers of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and public officials in areas economically affected by the
presence of large numbers of undocumented immigrants is contrasted with the lack of concern, and even support for the presence
of undocumented aliens on the part of certain ethnic groups and international humanitarian organizations. Featuring Manuel

The Demographic Implications of Illegal Immigration.
Mar. 25, 1977.
Additional Note
Conference participants debate the controversial idea that the United States should tie aid to immigrant-supplying nations
to provisions that encourage population control in order to stem the rising tide of immigration, both legal and illegal. Featuring
Manuel L. Carlos, Leonel Castillo, Walter Fogel, Juan Gomez-Quinones, William Gorman, Otis L. Graham, Jr., Garrett Hardin,

The Illegal Alien and Amnesty.
Mar. 25, 1977.
Additional Note
A discussion of the Carter administration's proposed legislation for dealing with the illegal immigration problem through
a call for limited amnesty for undocumented aliens already in the country. Panelists focus on criteria for eligibility, cutoff
date proposals, the problems of administering an amnesty program, and the inherent unfairness to those attempting to immigrate
legally. Featuring Manuel L. Carlos, Leonel Castillo, Walter Fogel, Mario T. García, Garrett Hardin, Michael Harpold, Alberto

The Case for Restricted Immigration.
Dec. 9, 1977.
Additional Note
Garrett Hardin, of the University of California Santa Barbara, argues for restricted immigration on the grounds that it is
imperative to achieve population stabilization; and that while accepting a large volume of immigrants may appear to be altruism,
it actually is not, for it gives the sending countries no incentive to control their population and depletes the resources
of the receiving country. Followed by discussion with Richard Arellano, Harry S. Ashmore, Walter Fogel, Ronald M. Green, David
Heer, John Higham, Ezra Mishan, Joseph Schwab, Ivan M. Timonin, Luis Alfonso Velarde, Jr., Richard Wasserstrom, and James
W. Wilkie. Illegal Immigration VI. 2 tapes. [Transcript 18:17]. [LC 78-741902]. Category: IMMIGRATION. Category: INTERNATIONAL

The Case for a Liberal Immigration Policy.
Dec. 9, 1977.
Additional Note
Jorge A. Bustamante, of Colegio de Mexico in Mexico City, contends that it is misleading to discuss immigration in terms of
charity, for the benefits the United States has received from immigration over the years must be taken into account, especially
in light of the complex relationship between the U.S. and Mexico and the unique nature of their 2,000-mile shared border.

The Immigration Debate: The "Idealists" vs. the "Realists."
Dec. 9, 1977.
Additional Note
John Higham, of Johns Hopkins University, explains how current discussion about immigration policy merely recapitulates the
same dynamic that has shaped the debate over the last century: "idealists" who oppose more immigration controls by citing
universal moral values, and "realists" who favor stronger controls on pragmatic grounds. In the face of growing agitation
for stricter controls, Dr. Higham suggests that the most the idealists can hope for is to keep the restrictionist movement
from acquiring a regressive character. Followed by discussion with Richard Arellano, Harry S. Ashmore, Walter Capps, Otis
L. Graham, Jr., Ronald M. Green, Garrett Hardin, David Heer, Harry H. L. Kitano, Marcos Manuel Suarez, James W. Wilkie, and

Illegal Immigration and Development Aid.
Dec. 10, 1977.
Additional Note
Ronald M. Green, of Dartmouth College, argues that the United States must not make economic aid to countries within close
proximity to our borders conditional upon the demographic performance of these nations, but should instead make such assistance
"population-directed." Both the urgent necessities of economic aid and population limitation could be addressed, he suggests,
by focusing on the health, education, and employment opportunities of women in developing countries. Followed by discussion
with Richard Arellano, Harry S. Ashmore, Noah benShea, Jorge A. Bustamante, Walter Fogel, Robert Gillespie, Bernard Haber,
Garrett Hardin, Doris Meissner, Marcos Manuel Suarez, Luis Alfonso Vellarde, Jr., Richard Wasserstrom, and Melanie Wirken.

Individual Freedom, urging a relentless commitment to making progress toward a full realization of freedom's rights and entitlements
while always occupying the moral high ground. Douglas Inquiry I. 1 tape. [Transcript 12:9]. [LC 82-740063]. Category: DEMOCRACY

Tape No. AS8435-8536/R7

The Entitlements of Freedom.
Dec. 7, 1978.
Additional Note
The doctrine of freedom embraces the principle of entitlement: the idea that each person is entitled to basic economic necessities
and the opportunity for full social and cultural self-realization. These words may frame our national mission, but the panelists
in this discussion argue that they are idle words for a significant underclass in our society. Unfortunately, a guarantee
of a full life for some requires a diminishment in the entitlements of others. The ethical considerations inherent in the
problem of conflicting entitlements are discussed by Harry S. Ashmore, Leonard Boudin, Ramsey Clark, Cathleen Douglas, Abe
Fortas, and Barbara Jordan. Douglas Inquiry II. 2 tapes. [Transcript 12:10]. [LC 82-740064]. Category: DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM.

A Critical Assessment of the Criminal Code Reform Bill.
Dec. 7, 1978.
Additional Note
Harvard University's Vern O. Countryman argues against proposed reforms of the federal criminal code, suggesting that the
bill being debated in Congress shows a disregard of Supreme Court rulings that criminal statutes must be specifically drawn
and easily comprehended, undermines certain civil rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, and represents an unjustifiable
expansion of the reach of federal criminal jurisdiction. Douglas Inquiry IV. 1 tape. [Transcript 12:12]. [LC 82-740066]. Category:

Stansfield Turner, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, defends the intelligence community from a barrage of criticism
over recently-uncovered abuses. While acknowledging the necessity for appropriate constraints, he argues that the unprecedented
degree of accountability required from the Agency must not take the form of a straightjacket that prevents the gathering of
vital information. Douglas Inquiry VII. 1 tape. [Transcript 12:15]. [LC 82-740069]. Category: GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS. Category:

Drafting a Charter for the F.B.I.
Dec. 7, 1978.
Additional Note
John Hotis, assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, admits that many of the excesses of the Bureau in the
past stemmed from its own failure to evaluate its mission and responsibilities, but also lays some of the blame on the government
for failing to provide adequate guidelines. He discusses efforts to provide legislation that will define the Bureau's responsibilities,
and warns that a charter that imposes rigid restrictions governing every step of the investigative process could endanger
the flexibility the F.B.I. needs to adapt to diverse situations. Douglas Inquiry VIII. 1 tape. [Transcript 12:16]. [LC 82-740070].

Science, Technology, and Freedom.
Dec. 8, 1978.
Additional Note
Robert Sinsheimer, of the University of California Santa Cruz, posits that freedom has traditionally been regarded as the
protection of the individual from the far greater power of the state, but that we must now consider some newly emergent dangers
which threaten individual liberty, such as the power that modern science may give to a small group - or even to an individual
- to threaten an entire society, not to mention the very societal controls that such capability may in turn call forth. Douglas

How Much Freedom of the Press?
Dec. 8, 1978.
Additional Note
Yale University's Robert H. Bork expresses his concern over what he sees as an irresponsible press that seems to believe the
public's "right to know" gives them the right to publish anything, even things the public thinks ought not to be known. Professor
Bork warns that the backlash such an attitude may create could lead to far greater restrictions on the press than are necessary
or beneficial. Douglas Inquiry XII. 2 tapes. [Transcript 12:20]. [LC 82-740074]. Category: FIRST AMENDMENT / FREEDOM OF THE
