Article Abstract:
Affirmative action has not benefited the poorest blacks and has contributed to a destructive entitlement mentality. Affirmative action should not be considered a remedy for race discrimination because it only benefits the blacks who are best prepared, either professionals or union members. Moreover, the attitude of entitlement fostered by affirmative action has been harmful to the black community's tradition of self-reliance. Programs should be targeted at creating opportunities for the economically and socially disadvantaged, rather than being based solely on race.

Article Abstract:
Game theory analysis suggests civil contempt procedures allow both judges and contemnor-parties to engage in game-like behavior and should be replaced by a system utilizing fixed sentences with purge clauses. This type of sentencing mechanism would limit outmaneuvering and bluffing. Determinate sentencing procedures would coerce compliance by removing judges' discretion to release non-complying parties and forcing contemnors to face unavoidable incarceration.

Article Abstract:
Game theory provides useful paradigms for formulating methods of culturally valuable buildings preservation without the buildings' owners suffering from intrusive state action. The Assurance Game is the best approach because building owners willingly and voluntarily cooperate in preserving culturally valuable structures. Public authorities should create economic incentives in order to encourage building owners to preserve culturally important buildings.
