Journal to retract article from 2000 that plagiarized one from 1984
When it comes to plagiarism, there is apparently no statute of limitations.

On Representative Government
Here’s Eric Voegelin’s perspective on representative government: “In order to be representative, it is not enough for a government to be representative in the constitutional sense (our elemental type of representative institutions); it must also be representative in the existential sense of realizing the idea of the institution. And the implied warning may be explicated in the thesis: If a government is nothing but representative in the constitutional sense, a representative ruler in the existential sense will sooner or later make an end of it; and quite possibly the new existential... more »

I Used to Preach the Gospel of Education Reform. Then I Became the Mayor.
