Anthony M. Pagan of the University of Illinois at Chicago reviews 'American Railroads: Decline and Renaissance in the Twentieth Century', by Robert E. Gallamore and John R. Meyer. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: 'Explores the story of the railroad industry that dominated U.S. freight transportation over land at the beginning of the twentieth century, and how it lost its leadership and much of its economic power over the next eighty years, and then was reborn in the last two decades of the century. Discusses the enduring American railroads; the ills of government regulation of rail rates and services; the policy dilemma of competition and consolidation; the impact of rival freight modes on railroads; the decline of railway passenger service, 1900-1970; mergers at midcentury and the Penn Central debacle; two railroad reform and revitalization acts and the Northeast Rail Crisis in the 1970s; the brief, mainly happy life of Conrail, 1976-99; the making of the Staggers Rail Act, and experience under deregulation; how railroads got their final sizes and shapes; the enduring problem of rail passenger service in the Amtrak era; advancing technology for American railroads; the decline and renaissance of American railroads in the twentieth century; and future policies for U.S. railroads. Gallamore retired from the Union Pacific Railroad and Northwestern University, and is Adjunct Professor in the Rail Management Program at Michigan State University. The late Meyer was James W. Harpel Professor of Capital Formation Emeritus in the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A review of the book "Progressive Thoughts: Essays and Reviews," by Lionel Youst, is presented.

In this paper I present and analyze a verse meter transitional between syllabotonic and purely accentual. Russian scholars, who were the first to notice and study this meter, have called it the dolnik, and I am using this term here. I analyze English and German dolnik poetry, comparing it to its Russian counterpart. Western metrists have overlooked this form, confusing it with neighboring metrical types, yet the dolnik, or strict stress-meter, warrants investigation as a verse form in its own right. In the late Middle Ages, following the influence of French syllabic verse and Medieval Latin hymns on accentual Germanic prosody, a verse form evolved in which a consistent number of syllables between adjacent stresses was not required, yet complete freedom was not allowed: the number of unstressed syllables was typically restricted to one or two. After having virtually disappeared from Germanic literary poetry, the dolnik was revived during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when English and German literature was recalling its past. The German and particularly the English literary dolnik was based on the most popular binary meter of the epoch--the iamb. I focus on the dolnik in English texts from Southey to Frost and in German texts by Heine and Benn. I compare these to the Russian literary dolnik, which has no folk predecessor. It came into existence in the twentieth century and evolved from the ternary meters. Establishing and. distinguishing the dolnik from adjacent verse forms, I show that different metrical boundaries have been set up by Russian, German, and English poets. The different origin of the Germanic literary dolnik, on the one hand, and its Russian counterpart, on the other, has played an important role. Difference in linguistic structure, particularly the length of words, is equally important. Further, I study formal differences between particular groups of poems and their thematic and stylistic "preferences": different verse forms gravita... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
