	U.S. Congressional District 10 — Taking On Ed Towns (Gotham Gazette. May 1, 2006)
		U.S. Representative Edolphus “Ed” Towns, who has represented the 10th district in Brooklyn since 1982, has not had it so easy.
		Towns also hasn’t offered a clear answer to why he voted for the trade agreement, but his legislative aide, Rick Blake, defended the vote as “principled” and said the congressman has supported labor issues more than 90 percent of the time.
		Towns, who sits on the Health Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said he stands on his record (see his Web site) although in an interview he did not specify exactly what he has accomplished.

	Irregular Times Rating and Contact Information for Representative Edolphus Towns of NY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Towns has taken the principled step of formally lending support to H.R., which would put an end to the practice of "extraordinary rendition." This is a practice in which Bush Administration officials send people into the custody of certain nations, knowing full well (some would say intending) that they will be tortured there.
		Towns has not yet cosponsored H.R., which would provide more information to the public about contacts between lobbyists and politicians, and which would slow down the revolving door of politics in which politicians move into cushy corporate jobs after they retire in exchange for favors.
		Edolphus Towns has not yet cosponsored H.R., which would keep members of the Federal Communication Commission from using their appointed positions to censor cable, satellite or internet programs they consider to be indecent.

		Ed Koch, by the way, never toasted PW Botha in City Hall, the way that Barron shamelessly celebrated the tyrant and murderer Mugable.
		Despite all his rhetoric about "people of color", Barron has no clue concerning "the average Latino", while Towns does; and while their are few Asians in the district, those that are there will see Barron as another Sonny Carson (not without justification) and Towns will do even better among them than among whites.

		This requires a conceptualisation of the structure of the community at the point of its inception - the eleventh and twelfth century - when, in terms of its topographical, jurisdictional and functional identity, its emergent form can be compared with pre-existing forms and its enduring characteristics can be established.
		Accordingly it is advisable that you should familiarise yourself (according to your own particular interest) with the history of some of the towns listed in the appendix of this handout, as well as undertaking specific tutorial reading listed below, the most important items of which are marked with an asterisk.
		Most of these studies are concerned with the topographical structure of the built-up area and totally neglect the important aspect of the town fields and their role in urban provisioning, upon which some light is thrown by the map in *J H Williams 1982c relating to NORTHAMPTON in the appendix.
