Karl Martino points us to this fascinating 1946 classroom film on "Despotism," which you can download or view online at the Internet Archive . This 10-minute film from Encyclopedia Britannica Films features Dr. Harold D. Lasswell of Yale, who was a professor of law and of political science at the school while both our current and our most recent presidents were students there. The film, produced in the immediate aftermath blog search engine f World War II, presents a spectrum from democracy to despotism. And it begins with this cautionary note: Avoid the comfortable idea that the mere form of government can of itself safeguard a nation against despotism. ... When a competent observer looks for signs of despotism in a community, he looks beyond fine words and noble phrases. That last is shown against a backdrop of patriotic Americans reciting the (original) Pledge of Allegiance, which fades into the silhouette of a lynching. That's the implicit message of this film, It Can Happen Here. We are introduced to a man "who makes it his business to study these things" -- presumably Dr. Lasswell. The professor offers two "yardsticks" for measuring the existence of despotism or democracy in a given community or nation. The Respect Scale ranges from shared to restricted, and measures "how many citizens get an even break." The Power Scale ranges from shared to concentrated. "The test of despotic power is that it can disregard the will of the people," the professor says.

A panel of appellate judges ruled Wednesday that state law limits the practice of chiropractic medicine to adjustments of the spinal column, reversing a jury verdict that found in favor of a group of chiropractors sued by an Ocean County woman who received treatment from them on her knee. The ruling by Judges Michael Winkelstein, Jose L. Fuentes and Linda G. Baxter of the appellate division of Superior Court in a case brought by patient Carol Bedford against chiropractors writing for publication nthony L. Riello and Peter E. Lowenstein and Coastal Chiropractic quickly evoked dissent from the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors, which said it would support an appeal to the state Supreme Court. The association had filed a friend of the court brief with the appellate division. "The Association of New Jersey Chiropractors strongly disagrees with the Appellate Division's ruling in the Bedford case as it relates to the manipulation of a patient's knee within the normal scope of chiropractic care," according to a statement released Wednesday evening by its attorney, Jeff Randolph. Danielle Chandonnet, an attorney who represented Bedford in the case, said it was her understanding that chiropractors routinely perform adjustments to their patients' extremities. "I believe (the court decision) is going to affect the practice," she said. "Every insurance company pays for extremity adjustments," said Riello.
