FROM MAINE TO MAITLAND VIA AMERICA
A SMALL group of largely overlooked American scholars linked the two great English legal historians, Henry Maine and Frederic Maitland. Ancient Law, published by Maine in 1861, and 'The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I', published by Frederick Pollock and Maitland in 1895 and written primarily by Maitland, are probably the two most important books about legal history ever written in the English language. In 'Ancient Law', Maine generated provocative conclusions about legal evolution based largely on works by previous scholars on the history of Roman law. For Henry Adams, who initiated the professional study of legal history in the United States, Maine was both an inspiration and a foil. Better known for his subsequent multivolume works of American history and especially for his great books, 'The Education of Henry Adams' and 'Mont Saint Michel and Chartres', Adams was appointed to the history faculty of Harvard College in 1870 as part of the effort by its new president, Charles W. Eliot, to transform Harvard from a traditional teaching college to a major research university. Adams praised 'Ancient Law' and placed Maine at the same level of intellectual importance as Darwin and Spencer. Yet Maine's \"brilliant hypotheses\", Adams declared, remained \"hazardous guesses\" unsupported by facts.

Diamond Tea pays tribute to local women
\"I thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice to have a really elegant tea for the mothers of children at the school?'\" [Angela Maitland] recounted. She said \"bringing women together for a purpose\" and the creativity in event planning for them gave her the kind of fulfillment she was missing. She said that she was responsible for her own happiness, and she wanted to share that message with other women, who juggle multiple responsibilities and often think of their family before themselves. \"I'm responsible for my happiness; I'm not blaming my husband or babies,\" Maitland said. \"Women need to remember who they are, what their strengths are and what they wanted out of life. I wanted to share that vision of reclaiming my life.\" The 2012 Diamond Tea on Oct. 13 offers an English high tea, shopping at booths of 25 women-owned businesses from the Portland metro area, including Clark County; a keynote speech on personal development tools by Los Angeles motivational speaker Keri Murphy, and performance of \"I'm a Woman\" by country singer Shannon Bex, who appeared on the MTV reality show \"Making The Band\" and toured in the band Danity Kane with Christina Aguilera.

How parenthood delivered a brainchild: INNOVATION: Financing, developing and launching a new product with a day job and infants in tow is far from child's play, discovers Alison Maitland
His behaviour was not driven by parental frustration, even though [Charlie] was the unwitting cause. Mr [Chris Mallet], an ex-advertising man, was testing the durability of a pre-sterilised, disposable baby bottle he invented after his son began screaming with hunger on a family outing in London. \"We were in Hyde Park,\" he recalls. \"We said: 'Who's brought the baby bottle?' and none of us had. We bought a bottle from a chemist who said it had to be sterilised first. In desperation I went and got a small pack of ready-to-feed milk that we squeezed into his mouth. By this time, the idea for Steri-bottle was born.\" The family goes skiing, snowboarding, cycling, in-line skating, camping, hiking and boating, and also attends music festivals and drag races. \"We use the backpack to carry all of our gear and [Camryn]'s. We see parenting as an extreme sport. It's incredibly challenging and at the same time fun.\" Other outdoor parents seem to agree. Sales of the backpack have topped USDollars 250,000 since it was launched last March - four times the initial projection.

U.S. REPORT ASSERTS ADMINISTRATION HALTED LIBERAL 'ANTI-FAMILY AGENDA'
A result of a seven-month study by the 22-member interdepartmental group, the report maintains that the Reagan Administration brought to a ''crashing halt'' the ''anti-family agenda'' of preceding years, initiating a ''defense of the family'' that has since become ''fashionable.'' ''The document is less a policy paper than a tantrum,'' said Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the New York Democrat, who is an expert on welfare policy. ''Worse, it is an embarrassment. They're not writing from facts. This is just ideology.'' Mr. Moynihan, whose book on family problems, ''Family and Nation,'' was published this year, attacked the group's statement that benefits under Aid to Families With Dependent Children were ''indexed'' to provide regular increases to accommodate the cost of living. Drop in Welfare Payments ''If you know one thing about A.F.D.C. it's that it is not indexed and was bashed by the inflation of the 70's,'' Mr. Moynihan said. ''Welfare payments declined sharply during this period, so it is also illogical to suggest that welfare dependency has increased owing to increasing payments. Payments have gone down because they were not indexed.''
