When it comes to economics, President George W. Bush is purported to be a believer in neo-liberalism, which embraces both individual liberty in economic activities and minimal intervention by the government in the national economy. Neo-liberalism, as exemplified by supply-side economics, reared its head as anti-Keynesian doctrine and grew even stronger just before former President Ronald Reagan took office in the early 1980s. Under the Bush administration, three tax reduction packages have been put forward times since 2001, based on proposals introduced by the president, modeled after Reagan's policies and typically featuring both huge tax cuts and increased defense spending. When we take a careful look at Bush's policies including this series of tax relief packages, we find that most of them were introduced chiefly to stimulate the national economy on a short-term basis, reflecting Keynes and Keynesian doctrine rather than the more long-term perspective of neo-liberal supplyside structural reform. It appears that Bush, preoccupied with his goal of re-election in 2004, has been fundamentally adopting the eclecticism he has attributed to neo-liberalism in introducing his policies, including tax cuts, in spite of their Keynesian features. If the huge budget deficit continues, it will have a negative impact on the national economy in the future, particularly if Bush reverts to being as economic neo-liberalist and political conservative, and makes a strong effort to revise the sunset rovisions that exist in the tax relief packages. It is quite probable that the U. S. economy will in the long run inevitably confront the downward pressure under the influence of either higher long-term interest rates triggered by a larger budget deficit, through the repeal of sunsets, or a relatively heavier tax burden on U. S. citizens.

This paper aims to introduce the whole life of Chiune Sugihara. In 1939, he was sent by the Japanese government to Kaunas, Lithuania, to open a consulate. In the summer of 1940, thousands of Polish Jews came to the Japanese consulate and begged Sugihara for transit visas to escape from Poland through the Soviet Union to Japan. Although the Japanese government did not agree to Sugihara's intentions, consul Sugihara did issue the visas to save Jews. So these visas are called "VISAS FOR LIFE." This is a well known historical story. However, few Japanese know that Sugihara was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church, when he lived in Harbin. Consequently, special attention is paid to his Christian faith in this paper. Jewish Proverb states "If you save the life of one person, it is as if you saved the world entire."

A new type of course program has been developed for freshman seminar adjusting to the change in students' characters, caused by the recent decrease of the student population in Japan. Most Japanese students are educated memorizing a limited range of knowledge in order to survive severe examination struggle but not for creative thinking. This program has a stress on the cultivation of creative thinking experiences through a variety of games and quizzes which attract students' interests and participation. Twelve exercises for each 90 minutes session are introduced. 1. Introduction ; Survey of the meanings of "think" and "study" with dictionaries. 2. "Answer is not limited to one"; Brain storming of impression of a picture and mapping by KJ method. 3. "Dichotomized patterns and sentences" 4. Movie, "Rashomon"; Different testimonies of an affair. 5. "How to utilize library services" ; Consulting encyclopedia, 6. "Enjoy zigsaw puzzle"; Observation of mental process from the start to the end, 7. "Merits of classification" ; Classification games, 8. "Find the sequence"; Find the right sequence of comic strips, 4-line poems and sentences. 9. "Wrong signboards and top sentences"; Importance of guiding words, 10. "How to write a letter" ; Style and manner of letter writing, 11. "How to write a report"; Requirements of a report, its style and preparation, 12. "How to write a written test". The results of student evaluation showed very high points.

Summarizing the present situation of English language education in Japan, Koike and Tanaka (1995) claim that "It may be said that we are in the middle of some drastic changes and that some confusion about the final choices is inescapable." (p24). These changes refer to government proposals and guidelines which regulate foreign language education in schools in Japan, and specifically pertain to concrete changes in areas such as teaching methods and materials, courses of study, objectives, examinations, and teacher-training and assistant teacher programs. They are 'drastic' with respect to both the broad extent of the reforms as well as the fundamental nature of the changes aimed for. This paper focuses on two areas of change: in teaching methodology, and in the focus on particular language skills or areas. It is argued that a wider rendering of the communicative approach, the 'strong' version as opposed to the 'weak' version, is important for these changes to be truly effective and for various interest groups within the system to be able to come together. The importance of the skill of reading for Japanese EFL students within the present system is stressed, and the significance of the entrance examination system is also examined. These are taken into consideration in suggesting changes in the approach to literacy. in English in Japan.

"The aim of this paper is to describe some religious expressions in Late Middle English on the basis of our own data from Margaret Paston's letters and papers. Despite extensive and complete texts of Paston Letters edited by Gairdner and Davis, a Paston glossary still has not appeared in print. Classifying the data according to the optative and the non- optative types, we suggest that the optative type should take up the position primarily towards the end of the letter and that it should be expressed in certain fixed forms. Margaret's optative sentences include the following sixteen verbs: amend, assoil, be, bless, bring, defend, deliver, give, have, help, keep, make, preserve, save, send, speed, of which the five verbs, amend, assoil, bring, deliver, make are not listed among the optative verbs in the OED nor in the MED. Moreover, the fixed form 'The Trinity have you in his keeping' is that of Margarets's optative sentences addressed to her husband, and the more simplified form 'God keep you' is that to her two sons. With regard to the non- optative type, we clarify some religious expressions in the main and the subordinate clauses, and in the prepositional phrases."
