Voters in New Mexico will decide in Novem
ber whether to remove an “alien land statute"
from the state constitution that bars Asian
immigrants from owning property. Last May,
Kansas repealed a similar unenforced law. The
Wyoming L.egislature last year repealed its
1943 alien land law, enacted during World War
II to keep Japanese from buying property.
Voters in South Carolina and Alabama ex
punged interracial marriage bans from their
constitutions in 1998 and 2000, respectively.
Encouraged by the actions o f South Caro
lina and Alabama, Jack Chin, a professor at the
University o f Cincinnati College o f Law, is
leading a nationwide project to inform states of
anachronistic language in their constitutions,
and to encourage them to remove it.
“Some say it’s good to keep statues and
buildings named after people like Jeffrey
Amherst, w ho did much to settle the colonies
but also gave smallpox blankets to Indians,”
Chin said. "But the constitution is not sym
bolic. It is a living law.”
“ I think this is a very good exercise,” said
Chet Orloff, director emeritus o f the Oregon
Historical Society. "It reminds us what kinds o f
people were here in the 1850s and reminds us
o f the vigilance and care one has to take in
crafting the constitution.”

A gifted and accomplished storyteller, Villasenor nar
rates the color and magic o f his parents’ marriage in “Thir
teen Senses.” The Villasenor family saga reveals many o f
the universal joys and pains o f family life, the sorrows that
come with deep love and complicated relationships,a ndthe
immigrant angst associated with being regarded as an
“outsider” in an adopted land. Through it all, the family
perseveres, buoyed by a private understanding o f the
“thirteen senses.”

We are mysteries to ourselves. Why do we say we want
to lose 20 pounds while we are eating a hot fudge sundae?
Why do we pinch pennies and then splurge? People are at
war with themselves. They think they want to be out there
in the world but -
Self-sabotage: when you say you want something and
then go about making sure it doesn’t happen. Get this
behavior out o f your hair forever.
I f you are sabotaging yoursel f, you have a "higher need”
on the inside that is holding you back.
