Greenstein's poetry does just that, giving readers the chance to zoom in on the many significant moments of a single life. As he has penned vignettes over the years, Glenn has seen the way that dogma is pounded into our heads from birth to death. From pulpits, classrooms, newsrooms, and chamber halls, cultu...
The Art of the Sister Chapel
The Sister Chapel (1974-78) was an important collaborative installation that materialized at the height of the women‘s art movement. Conceived as a nonhierarchical, secular commemoration of female role models, The Sister Chapel consisted of an eighteen-foot abstract ceiling that hung above a circular arrangement of eleven monumental canvases, each depicting the standing figure of a heroic woman. The choice of subject was left entirely to the creator of each work. As a result, the paintings formed a visually cohesive group without compromising the individuality of the artists. Contemporary and historical women, deities, and conceptual figures were portrayed by distinguished New York painter...

The Isolated Presidency
How powerful is the President of the United States? In The Isolated Presidency, Jordan T. Cash re-frames this question to instead ask what authority is available to all presidents. Drawing on the Constitution itself, Cash argues that the presidency possesses an internal logic derived from its structure, duties, and powers which not only grants the president a unique institutional perspective, but also provides the president with considerable agency and discretion in pursuing his agenda. Through three case studies of "isolated presidents"--presidents who were unelected, faced divided government, and were opposed by major factions of their own political parties--Cash provides lessons and examples of what constitutionally derived actions a president can take when confronted with the recurring issues of divided government and political gridlock.
