	Edmund Burke
		Burke was born at Dublin in Ireland, then part of the British Empire, the son of a prosperous attorney, and, after an early education at home, became a boarder at the school run by Abraham Shackleton, a Quaker from Yorkshire, at Ballitore in the Blackwater Valley.
		Burke retained all his life a sense of the responsibility of the educated, rich and powerful to improve the lot of those whom they directed; a sense that existing arrangements were valuable insofar as they were the necessary preconditions for improvement; and a strong sense of the importance of educated people as agents for change.
		Burke himself, however much he might try to hide the logic of his thought under the rich foliage of words generated by his skill with words — he is perhaps the only classic of political thought in the English language who is also a literary classic — was a philosophical thinker.

		Burke, 112 S. Ct. 1867 (1992), this Court held that Section 104(a) (2) ap- plies only when the underlying cause of action that led to the taxpayer's recovery provides compensation for the "personal," as well as "economic," components of the taxpayer's injury.
		Burke, however, the ___________________(footnotes) 3 The lineage of Section 104(a) (2) is as ancient as the modern income tax.
		Burke, 112 S. Ct. at 1873), the recovery of such pay- ments does not represent damages received "on ac- count of personal injuries" and is not excluded from income under Section 104 (a) (2).

		Burke stretches the mind of the reader and forces one to struggle, to agonize over the assumptions he works from and the theory he articulates.
		Act is considered in relation to the other pentadic terms (scene, agent, agency, and purpose), but clearly the focus for Burke is on the act.
		Sometimes Burke may provide a rhetorical catharsis of sorts, but often the reader is forced to agonize over the structures and perspectives that Burke offers and come to a point of rebirth or regeneration of his or her own as the journey through the thick underbrush of Burke's assumptions continues.

		And the act does not "synecdochically share" in the agent, though certain ways of acting may be said to induce corresponding moods or traits of character.
		(Burke 1945: xix) 'Since no two things or acts or situations are exactly alike, you cannot apply the same term to both of them without thereby introducing a certain margin of ambiguity, an ambiguity as great as the difference between the two subjects that are given the identical title'.
		Burke seldom uses such words in a sense that would satisfy someone like Crane as strictly literal; even the word "literal" is not quite literal; thinking about the concept as Burke might, we would no doubt extend my questioning of Crane's usage in chapter 2 [of this work].

	A Grammar of Motives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Burke explains that this definition is not meant to confine human motives to verbal action, but rather "the dramatistic analysis of motives has its point of departure in the subject of verbal action (in thought, speech, and document)" (33).
		Burke describes this approach, dramatically, as "spotlight where the rest of the stage is left dark" where "concepts become poorer in contents or intension in proportion as their extension increases, so that the content zero must correspond to the extension infinity"' (87).
		Burke continues with the dramatistic metaphor, "This matter of circumference is imbedded in the very nature of terms, and men are continually performing new acts, in that they are continually making judgments as to the scope of the context which they implicitly or explicitly impute in their interpretations of motives.

	Complaint: SEC v. Arthur A. Goodwin et al.
		Burke was involved in putting together the warrant package for Solunet and he reviewed the warrant terms with the board of directors at its meeting on February 15, 2000, shortly after the warrant agreement was executed.
		Burke also knew, or was reckless in not knowing, that revenue was being recognized by Interspeed in its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of FY 2000 and in its Form S-8 registration statement despite the existence of a "round-tripping" arrangement with I-Way.
		Burke also knew, or was reckless in not knowing, that revenues attributable to sales with Solunet were based on contingencies set out in side letters and that the Solunet receivable had been paid, at least in part, by funds that Interspeed provided to I-Way, but he did not disclose these facts to Interspeed's auditors.

		Committee of the Whole, as to the effects of the Stamp Act, Burke said that the scene reminded him of a master examined by a parcel of schoolboys, and George Whitefield said: Dr Franklin has gained immortal honor by his behaviour at the bar of the House.
		Another bill (the Declaratory Act), however, was almost immediately passed by the kings party, asserting absolute supremacy of parliament over the colonies, and in the succeeding parliament, by the Townshend Acts of 1767, duties were imposed on paper, paints and glass imported by the colonists; a tax was imposed on tea also.
		Acting as American naval agent for the many successful privateert who harried the English Channel, and for whom he skilfully got every bit of assistance possible, open and covert, from the French government, he was continually called upon for funds in these ventures.

		The act creating the county ordered the court to be held at Shiloah Church until the public buildings were erected unless otherwise directed by the justices of the peace.
		It is doubtful that the act was put into effect because in 1808 an act was passed authorizing the removal of the courthouse from Lockwood's Folly to Smithville.
		The act establishing Burke specified that the first court was to be held at a place the justices should decide until they selected a permanent place for the courthouse and had the same erected.

		Burke also makes it clear that there is a “circular nature” to the ratios/terms in the way of unity between scene/agent, corresponding scene with act-agent, or the act itself may influence the scene and change it altogether.
		Burke details the paradox of substance when he discusses the internal and external and the intrinsic and extrinsic and the results of a “reverse perspective”.
		Burke states that history of the Nazis shows us that there are cultural situation which scientists, whatever may be their claims to professional austerity, will contrive somehow to identify their specialty with modes of justification or socialization, not discernible in the sheer motions of the material operations themselves.

	ROUNTREE
		Nonetheless, a clear exposition of Burke's theory of dramatism and the purposes for which he developed the pentad as a critical tool may help rhetorical critics who wish to apply this powerful rubric to an understanding of the rhetoric of human motives.
		This occurs when pentadic sets share terms (e.g., two acts with a shared scene) or when an element of one act provides a different terministic function in another act (e.g., an agent in one act may be an agency in a second act).
		I have argued that Burke holds that his pentad is not simply a useful critical tool for analyzing human motives, but a universal heuristic growing out of the very concept of action recognized by writers on human motives for over two millennia.

		The allotment process mandated by the Dawes Act differed from earlier approaches through treaties, special acts, and informal arrangements mainly in that it was compulsory at the discretion of the president.
		The act authorized negotiations for the sale of unallotted land "at any time after lands have been allotted to all the Indians of any tribe as herein provided, or sooner if in the opinion of the President it shall be for the best interests of such tribe."2
		Acts passed in 1893 and 1896 pushed the nations into allotment as a part of the process of changing Oklahoma from an indigenous enclave into a state dominated by non-natives.

		The Burke Act contained specific language that provided "all restrictions as to sale, incumbrance, or taxation of said land shall be removed...."(2) Indian land in Minnesota, particularly in the reservations of the Chippewa bands, were allotted under the Nelson Act.
		The Court of Appeals relied on this canon and the specific proviso of the Burke Act allowing taxation in concluding that lands allotted under other authority without such a specific proviso were not taxable.
		The Burke Act was a proviso to the General Allotment Act.

		Towns' memory with the record that within 43 years after the passage of the General Allotment Act (1887) that Indians had lost 100 million acres of the 150 million they owned before passage of this grievious act.
		After Indians were essentially forced to accept individual ownership of parcels of land on or near their reservations, the U.S. government declared unallotted lands as surplus, then open for white settlement.
		These included the Burke Act of 1906 which shortened the 25 year trust period whereby an Indian could not be alienated from the title to their allotment.
