>> PS those interested in exploring the power issue further might find the following useful: Robert Dahl, "The Concept of Power," Behavioral Science 2 (July 1957); David A. Baldwin, Paradoxes of Power (New York: Basil Blackwell, 1989); William Curti Wohlworth, The Elusive Balance: Power and Perceptions During the Cold War (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1993), ch. 1; Peter Bachrach and Morton S. Baratz, "The Two Faces of Power," American Political Science Review, 56:4 (December 1962); and John Gaventa, Power and Powerlessness: Quiescence and Rebellion in an Appalachian Valley (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1980), ch. 1. LET THE GAMES BEGIN! Nothing like watching a couple of long winded eggheads duking it out. <<yawn>> Definitely time for an afternoon nap. cuf@professionaljealousyissougly.com

>> Moreover, there are several so-called "faces" of power: the ability to win actual contests or fights, the ability to shape the agenda so that some things rather than others are fought about in the first place, the ability to avoid even potential fights by influencing another party's goals so they end up wanting the same things you do and thus have nothing to fight about. That's one of the best things you've ever written. What was your point? <<yawn>> Actually, since your post was so convoluted as to be incomprehensible to the layman , it may be your best chance yet of gaining that coveted Cool Post award. cuf@can'twaittoseedon's10000wordresponse.edu
