Entman argues for a different perspective. His research shows that (1) media neglect most corruption\, providing too little\, not too much scandal coverage\; (2) scandals arise from rational\, controlled processes\, not emotional frenzies\; (3) significant scandals are difficult for news organizations to initiate and harder for them to maintain and bring to appropriate closure\; (4) for these reasons cover-ups and lying often work\, and truth remains essentially unrecorded\, unremembered.\n\n \n\nEntman will illustrate his discussion with examples of scandals - and nonscandals - involving Bill Clinton\, George W. Bush and others.\n\n\n\nEntman is J.B. and M.C. Shapiro professor of media and public affairs and professor of international affairs at George Washington University.

Armony is professor of sociology and director of the Observatory of the Americas at the University of Quebec at Montreal. \n\n\n\nArmony discusses the attitudes toward multiculturalism in Quebec\, whose quasi-state status has made it a sort of nation within the nation. Supported by a majority of the French Quebecois people\, Quebec's government imposes restrictions on the choice of language of business and education\, openly rejects multiculturalism and enforces different selection and integration criteria for immigrants based on the province's particular interests rather than Canada's. Armony argues that by taking into account the larger historical\, sociopolitical and demographic context\, it can be argued that Quebec's seemingly anti-Democratic actions actually reflect the core of democratic sovereignty - its foundations and its inherent contradictions.

The basic challenges faced by public institutions in recognizing and accommodating the identities of minority (or subaltern majority) groups are now common to most countries in the Americas. Cultural and ethnic diversity has become an important aspect of policymaking and public debate over complex issues such as immigration and naturalization reform\, the application of antidiscrimination norms\, affirmative action\, curriculum guidelines for education\, language use and bilingualism\, religious freedom and secularism. All require facing the question of "Who are we and who are they?"
