    Harry Aponte, LCSW.
    Summary: In this involving session, Harry Aponte helps a family look un-defensively at the things that are not working in their relationships. The family originally comes into therapy seeking help for their ten-year-old son who has been caught stealing. Aponte asks about the family's complicated situation insightfully, understanding each relationship, and each individual's role. Soon Aponte shifts the focus from the children to the center of the family--Rosalind and Carl, the parent couple. Once he understands the family structure, including each of the children's cut-off relationships with their "missing" biological parent, Aponte identifies that the parents are not coming together enough to discuss their family and the decisions that matter. In an almost deceptively informal manner, Aponte helps the strong-willed parents key in on their tendency to live separate, self-controlled lives in the same house. As the distance is identified, it starts to close, and the parents have an action they can take to make things go better--they can get together to talk about their family. "You are both very strong people," he says at one point, "As difficult as it is now to get together, I think you'll be that much better parents if you can talk. I think you'll be very effective parents to these kids. And they need a strong set of parents." Both parents nod and agree. The task is thus identified and put before them; though not easy, it is a realistic goal. In a follow-up discussion with the referring therapist, Aponte stresses that the therapist the family continues to work with must gain their trust--especially that of the father, Carl. He advises that the therapist must truly join with them or be left on the outside--ultimately ineffective. Aponte reveals that after the session was over, Rosalind (wife and mother) told him that she was "shocked" at how much her normally silent husband spoke in the session. Aponte clearly won Carl's confidence and trust; a very moving thing to see unfold in a short time.

    Michael Oakeshott.
    Summary: In five essays, including three on historiography, one of the greatest minds in English political thought in the twentieth century explores themes central to the human experience: the nature of history, the rule of law, and the quest for power that is intrinsic to the human condition. Michael Oakeshott believed, as Timothy Fuller observes, that "the historian's effort to understand the past without ulterior motive [is the] effort which distinguishes the historian as historian from all who examine the past for the guidance they expect it to provide about practical concerns.".

    Human proinsulin connecting peptide (C-peptide) was measured by immunoassay in urine from 25 normal subjects, 18 patients with diabetes mellitus, and 34 patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency. Assay validation studies showed that pancreatic C-peptide was quantitatively recovered when added to urine. Fractionation of urine by gel filtration indicated that most endogenous C-peptide eluted in fractions that corresponded to the C-peptide standard. In 34 nondiabetic subjects with normal kidney function or various renal diseases, C-peptide clearance was independent of creatinine clearance over a range of 6 to 190 ml./min. Urine C-peptide clearance (5.1 +/- 0.6 ml./min.) is greater than that of insulin (1.1 +/- 0.2 ml./min.), and the total quantity of C-peptide excreted in the urine per day represents 5 per cent of pancreatic secretion, as against only 0.1 per cent of secreted insulin. Healthy subjects excreted 36 +/- 4 mug. C-peptide per 24 hours, while this value in juvenile-onset diabetics was only 1.1 +/- 0.5 mug. Adult-onset diabetics excreted 24 +/- 7 mug./24 hr., the range overlapping the excretory rates of both normal subjects and juvenile-onset diabetics. Two insulin-requiring adult-onset diabetics showed significant beta-cell reserve during the course of acute infections. These results suggest that urine C-peptide provides a useful means of assessing beta-cell secretory capacity over a period of time and is especially advantageous when frequent blood sampling is not feasible.
