One of the major hits of the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, a film that proved too hot for Disney to handle, Kevin Smith’s ribald, revolutionary new film Dogma is a comic theological fantasy that is sure to be one of this fall’s most provocative offerings. Two fallen angels (Matt Damon and Ben Affleck), sentenced to eternal exile in Wisconsin, are trying to get back into heaven. A renegade cardinal in New Jersey (George Carlin), as part of his "Catholicism Wow!" campaign, has opened a loophole in Catholic doctrine that would give them their opportunity-and, in proving God’s judgm

Grounded in current political science research and the latest scholarship, THE PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, 10th Edition, uses the title’s theme as an organizing framework, effectively engaging students in American politics. The "promise" of democracy is analyzed using three core principles: majority rule, political freedom, and political equality. Bond and Smith further explore these principles in features such as "Living the Promise" and "Promise and Policy" boxes, the latter of which integrates the policy discussion into the chapter, rather than at the end of the boo

Fixed-income management has evolved out of a relatively tame past of laddered portfolios into one of today’s most dynamic areas of investing. Shifts in the borrowing needs of corporations and governments, the creation of new fixed-income products, and generally lower global interest rates have kept managers on their toes in terms of asset allocation, credit analysis, and benchmark composition issues. Recent market crises have led to an increased emphasis on risk management as managers and investors explore various ways to add value to fixed-income portfolios outside the traditional fixed
