Two studies were reported in which a mean trait attribution pattern parallel to the Jones-Nisbett actor-observer effect was obtained within subjects when people were asked to describe what they were like in the past, are like now, and will be like in the future. This argues in favor of the perspective or salience explanation of the actor-observer phenomenon. Both temporal and role defined actor-observer differences, while statistically significant, were due to a minority of subjects. This minority did not differ from the majority on measures of locus of control and self-consciousness. Problems and implications were discussed briefly.

ON 30 March 1908, there was a sale of drawings and pictures in London, at Christie’s, and many of them came from the home of Mrs Caleb Rose of Ipswich—she died in May 1907 at the age of 89. Mrs Rose, the widow of Dr Caleb Rose, had been previously the wife of James Norton Sherrington of The Hall, Caister, near Norwich, and she was the greatly beloved mother of Charles Scott Sherrington. Looking back over exactly half a century I can place the Christie sale as the turning point of my father’s life; it meant for him that the home he had loved so much was gone for ever and, from that time onwards, the outlook was concentrated on the future not on the past, except for those unutterably happy memories which remained vivid to him until the very end, for he spoke to me of them with some yearning the evening before his death.

Looking Back

The future of correctional institutions depends on key demographic, social, economic, and political conditions in the larger society. For example, the economy increasingly demands skills and attitudes that poor, urban populations have little chance of acquiring. Thus young persons turn to crime because they are unable to compete in the conventional economy. Likewise, single-parent families are increasing, and so more children are growing up in poverty and are being reared in extremely disadvantaged circumstances. Consequently, youth find it difficult to identify with definitions of conventional behavior that are the foundation of criminal law. The best predictors of the future of corrections are relevant trends in the past. If these trends continue, incarceration rates will remain high, and inmate populations will be drawn from unskilled, poor, powerless, and angry populations who come from deteriorated households and dangerous environments.

New Millennium

With the editorial staff of theCanadian Respiratory Journal, I extend our best wishes for the New Year, and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped theJournalestablish itself in the competitive field of quality, peer-reviewed publications in chest medicine. It may seem odd to start the new millennium with an editorial eulogizing the past, but even in these 'postmodern' days of chaos, complexity and ordered unpredictability, the past can be seen to have a huge influence on the present and the future. The importance of looking back on work that has influenced our present views on chest medicine, and why, was the main reason for the series inaugurated in the present issue - 'Modern Classics Revisited' (pages 71-76).

Res nauticae: Mediterranean Seafaring and Written Culture in the Renaissance

In characteristic fashion, the Iter Italicum of Paul Oskar Kristeller reveals the richness of Renaissance thought on seafaring. The literature on seafaring conserved in manuscripts cataloged in the Iter Italicum ranges from commentary on ancient seafaring to eulogies of contemporary heroes to works on mechanics and engineering with unusual proposals for naval weaponry. Those manuscripts likewise highlight the Renaissance conceptualization of seafaring as an art and a creative tension in Renaissance scholarship between looking back to the past and looking forward to the future.
